A Plea for Harmony,

Is it not time that the prec-onven-
ton contest between the opposing fac
tons of the Republican party of Min
nesota be gently laid away in it's little
grave along side of the other "dead
issues" that have been fought to a
finish? It was all right, Immediately
after the convention to 'tell how it
was done" and naturally crow little
over the victory, but to keep harping
on the causes that led either to victory
on one hand and to defeat on the
other, is entirely out of place and only
keeps the bitterness engendered dur
ing the contest "alive and kicking. y
It was warm fight between those who
at least should be friends, and it was
almost impossible for it to end in a

Company &. Concert.

One of the best concerts by local
talent ever given in Princeton was that
given under the auspices of Company
G at the opera house last Friday eve
ming. The presence in Princeton of
the Stamm family made it possible to
arrange for very interesting musical
program. Mr.. Stamm is a cornetist
while his daughter is an accomplished
violin student, and Mrs. Stamm is
very proficient at the piano With the
assistance of Mr.. W. E. Wilberg of
Anoka and S.. S. Peterson, B. O.
Brown, and Mrs. Benz. Soule as &C
companist, a good orchestra was made
up and which acquitted itself admira-
bly, in assisting in the program.
Mrs. c. A. Galley was vocal soloist
and in both of her selections, sang with
orchestral accompaniment, and aided
in a great measure in making the con-
cert an artistic success. Mrs. Galley
was in good voice, and sang with
perfect flow of rich clear notes that
delighted the audience. It has been
some time since she has sang in public
and her appearance Friday night was
greatly appreciated by those who
heard her.
Miss Beulah Stamm is very clever
on the violin and she handles this in
strument of all instruments in an al
most faultless manner Mr.. Stamm's
cornet and harmonica solos were very
good, and the cornet and trombone
solo by Mr.. Stamm and B. O. Brown
was we'll rendered.
There was good attendance but the
severe storm that was threatening all
evening, caused many to leave before
the concert was over. The lights went
out several times, and interfered with
the program some, but no part was
omitted.
Many remained to the dance given
after the concert.

draw. Somebody must necessarily
win and somebody therefore must
lose. This is presidential year and
we need united party, both as re-
CARDS the national and State tickets.
This can only be accomplished by re-
memberlng that we as Republicans,
were lately only arrayed against each
other in friendly sparring match for
points in order to better fit the winner
for the battle Of November 9Th next.
If we are true Republicans we will
unite and fight the common enemy
only. To those who were not on the
band wagon we say "get aboard"
there is room for all, and to those
who were there from the beginning we
earnestly suggest that they ''sit up
closer' and make room for the rest.
We all wish to be On that wagon when
the ides of November have passed.
We were pretty evenly divided before
the late Republican State convention;
let us now forget that conventions
contest and march, shoulder to
shoulder to victory, with the banner
OF Roosevelt and Dunn floating above
us.-Blue Earth Post.

SOME ADJUSTMENTS.
Some of the Business and Profession
al Men Arrange for a Course
of Entertainments.
Five Very Interesting Concerts and
Lectures to be Given at Opera
House Next Winter.

Princeton will have a series of enter
talnments next winter under the aus
pieces OF the Princeton Amusement as
ISOLATION, composed of a number o.
the leading business and professional
men of Princeton, who have entered
into a contract with the Columbian
Lyceum Bureau of St. Paul for five
entertainments during the coming win
ter. Two years ago Rev. Gratz Sc
cured series of entertainments which
were given under the auspices of the
M. r. church, but there were no ly-
ceum bureau concerts, lectures or en-
tertainments of any kind last winter
and in this respect the place was quite
dead.
Realizing the need of a few good
uplifting, fun-making. and instructive
entertainments the Princeton Amuse-
ment association has taken hold and
secured the following entertainments:
Columbian male quartette, with Miss
Fisher Ship as reader; Chicago La
dies quartette; Dixie jubilee singers,
group of colored singers who have
proved themselves among the best
their race has prodcued; Ellsworth
Plumstead, "the Wandering Raggedy
Man," and a very funny inperson-
ator. All his work is clean, clever
and of a high moral Tone A novel
entertainment will be lecture by Prof.
81. V. Richards on ''The World
Builders or the Wonders of Oxygen. -
The lecture will be brilliantly illus
trated and singularly instructive.
The citizens committee will issue
season tickets for this course of enter
tainments at very reasonable rate
and it is hoped that the people of
Princeton will patronize the course
very literally.

Minnesota'a New Code

The members of the Minnesota stat
ute revision commission are rushing
work on the new code SO that it Will be
ready for the next legislature. The
document will be complete revision
OF all State statutes and will be pre-
sented to the Legislature in the form
of bill. If the bill is passed the
laws of the State will be embraced in
a single code instead of in thousands
OF conflicting, interlapping and incom-
plete statutes.
The code will be published in one
volume Of 1000 or more pages, and in
this single volume will be condensed

A PASTOR IS CALLED
Congregational Church of Princeton
Calls Rev. John Russell Hem
derson as Pastor.
The Local Talent Concert Was Great
Success--An Excellent Pro-
gram Rendered.

The Congregational church held a
business meeting last Thursday eve
ming to take action on Rev. John r.
HendersOn's passionate and the church
extended him unanimous call as it's
pastor. Rev. Henderson was given a
three months call by the church and
he preached his first sermon June Goth.
His removal from an old staid COM
munity in Vermont to one of the young
and progressive little cities of Mime
sofa was a marked change, and Rev.
Henderson has proved himself we'll
adapted to his new field where he will
find abundant opportunity to ''be do
ing" He has since his brief residence
in Princeton demonstrated that he has
winning social qualities while his work
in connection with the church ind
Gates steady progress. His work nor
his manner is not meteoric or explosive
but, better still, is of that nature that
is significant of permanency and thor
oughness.
The Congregational church has for
several years past been unfortunate
because of lack OF harmony in the re-
lationship between pastor and the peo-
pie of the church, and it has been a
long time since the church has re-
tanned a minister for much longer
period than year, the result being
that the church has been losing
ground.
The climax was reached when Rev.
Steenson was called and assumed the
passionate of the church under handi-
cap that was enough to discourage a
saint. He went-about as most of his
predecessors, though for young man
he was able and gifted.
Rev. Henderson assumed the pastor
ate of the church at it's lowest ebb of
spiritual and social life. He realized
the condition of the field when he came,
and knew the obstacles he would have
to contend with. His work nor any
minister's work cannot be expected to
show Immediate progress, as it will
require some time in dry dock to put
the spiritual ship in condition for it's
voyage over the sea of time

Solomon "a AM Emnlover.

The labor strikes of to-day are puny
affairs. Solomon, the biggest en-
ployer of labor the world ever knew,
never had strike or lockout. In
building the temple he hired of the
descendants of the Canaanites 70, 900
men to bear burdens and so, 900 to hew
timber and stone in Lebanon, under
$500 overseers. He also raised a
levy of 30, 900 Israelites, whom he sent
to work in Lebanon by. relays of
10, 900, each relay serving one month
and returning home for two. Here is
an army of 183,6OO men working
steadily for seven and a half years

the laws in the four volumes of the
1924 revision and all the laws that
have been passed since that time.
Inns means that hundreds of pages of
repealed statutes and laws that have
no significance will be omitted and
that all the rest will be condensed.
The aim of the commission is to ex-
press in the new code just what the
law IS, not what it was ten years ago
or how it came to be what it is.
An illustration of the manner in
which the laws have been condensed is
shown by the fact that in the revision
made in 1894, not by authorization of
the legislature but by a private indi-
vioual, several pages are devoted to a
description of the boundaries of
counties. The new code will merely
state that Minnesota shall be divided
into eighty-three counties and the
boundaries that are established by
law shall remain.
Another illustration is furnished by
the fact that the 1894 revision states
that the district courts shall have
original jurisdiction in all actions in
which the sum involved is more than
$500. This would imply that the
courts do not have original jurisdic-
ton in cases where the sum involved
is less than 5000. The supreme court,
however, subsequently declared that
the district courts have general orig
inal jurisdiction irrespective of the
amount involved. The new code,
therefore, will repeat the words of the
supreme court, which are the law, in
stead of the words of the original
statute.-PiOneer Press.

False Friends or Open Enemies.

1t is gratifying to note that there is
very little left Of that petty sniping in
which q few warm adherents of Judge
Collins and Mr.. Dunn were indulging
fortnight or SO ago. Most of those
among Mr.. Dunn's friends who, led by
zeal rather than Judgment, persisted
in fighting long after the battle was
over have become aware that they
have neither the support nor sympathy
Of their fellows in this irregular war;
fare and that they were engaged in a
worse than futile campaign.
There are a few in both camps,
however, who still keep at it. That
they are doing so thoughtlessly and
from force of habit is an explanation
that is becoming every day less credi-
bic. Considering the warmth of the
ante-convention struggle and the bit
ter earnestness of some of the support
ers of both candidates it was not un-
natural that for week or two the less
level-headed kept On loading and fir
ing. But misdirected zeal is no long
er sufficient excuse. To account for
the present manifestations of unesea-
sonable factionalism it is becoming
more and more necessary to resort to
the only other possible explanation:
that those who persist in these courses
are doing SO with the intention of fan
ming the Goals of rancor and of at
tempting to compass the defeat of the
party. No other end can be served.
Mr.. Dunn is nominated and no
amount of abuse by those who sided
with either faction will help or hinder
that accomplished fact. Exhibitions
of spleen can therefore only be ac-
counted for as induced by desire to
have vengeance at the cost of the gov
ernorship and of the. general party
ticket. That some of Mr.. Dunn's sup
posed friends are engaged in this bad
business can only be accounted for by
their willingness to crafty their per-
sonal animosities regardless of the
consequences. That there are only a
few of either of the former factions
who continue to display ill-feeling
serves to make the offense of those
few more cOnspicuOus.-PiOn Press.

A Fat Woman's Predicament,

We understand certain fiat" lady
out Santiago way, who weighs some
where in the neighborhood of 400
pounds, had narrow escape from
sinking into oblivion while picking

attempts to extract her proved fruit

been quite serious had not a Great
Northern wrecking crew passed by at
this time. They hitched the big crane
onto the fat" lady and in jigtime
she was landed on terra irma, not
much the worse for her experience

Monkey Played Ball.

man asked of his friend the other
day as they rode down town on
Third avenue elevated train.
"No?" the speaker continued.

show you one" ....-
Sure enough, as the train passed
within arms reach almost of cos

dow sill, pet monkey, with an old
mans face, busily engaged in catch
ing and throwing back small rubber
ball. His playmate was the proprie-
tor, stout. dark complexioned man,
who seemed to enjoy the proceedings
fully as keenly as the monkey.-New

New Law on Vaccination,

The vaccination law has been
changed. The last legislature amend
ed the law so that no 2x4 board of
health or board of educatioon can
play business into the hands of We
physician by compelling all children
to be vaccinated before attending
school. The law now reads:
Section l. That hereafter it shall
be unlawful for any board of health.
board of education, or any other pub
lie board or officer, acting in this
State under police regulations or
otherwise, or under any general law
or city charter, however adopted, to
compel or require, by resolution, or
der, ordinance or procedure of any
kind, the vaccination of any child, or
to make vaccination a condition
precedent to the attendance at any
school in the State of Minnesota. or
to exclude any child or other person
from attendance on any school in this
State on account of the fact that such
child or other person shall not have
been vaccinated. Except in cases of
epidemic of smallpox such boards of
health and boards of education may,
by joint action, require such vaccina-
ton by duly licensed and practic-
ing physician, to be selected by the
person to be vaccinated: provided,
that any child may be exempted from
the provisions of this act where rep
utable physician certifes in writing
that on account of said child's physi-
cal condition such vaccination would
be dangerous to the health of said
child.
The law means to say "In cases of
an epidemic of smallpox boards can
order vaccination, instead of saying

A Few MalcOntents.

Judge Collins has host of enthusi-
astic supporters who were attached to
him personally, who believed that he
was the best man for governor and
who felt certain that he would be NOM
mated. Nobody has word of fault
to find with them because the action
OF the State convention was a disap-
pointment. We're it otherwise thew
would be less loyal than they are.
But these wounds healed quickly, the
demands of loyalty to the party made
themselves felt: the superior impor-
lance of the party's interest as COM
pared with that of any individual dis
played itself, and here as everywhere
the party swiftly lined up behind it's
chosen leaders with enthusiasm.
1t is an ungracious task to speak of
the few exceptions to this rule, but the
time has come when they should be
mentioned. There are some of them:
not very numerous, not very reputa-
bic, not very much respected by any
body for the stand that they have
taken, but they must be smoked out
and put where they belong. For there
are but two choices open to them now;
one is to support loyalty and without
captiousness, the nominee of the party;
and the other is to announce them
selves Democrats and 60 where they
belong.
We speak now of a few malcontents
whom you may still hear sneering
about the successful candidate and the
recent convention. They are we'll
represented by at least one newspaper
that we could name, published in
principal city of the State. Let these
take their choice. If they are Repub-
licans, they will follow the party like
tn rest of US. If they are unwilling to
do that, let them say so and get out.
Republicans are in no mood any
longer to tolerate the secret enmity of
which there are still evidences in
few quarters, and a reprimand is in
order.-Red Wing Republican.

Giles.
One reason why people, irrespective
Of party lines, labored SO zealOusly
for the nomination of r. G. Dunn for
governor was because of his state
ments that if elected governor he
would clean out the horde of chronic
pap-suckers who have become verita-
bic barnacles upon the various State
institutions.
The Democrats could hope for no
more with a successful man of their
own, and knowing that r. G. Dunn
stood far better chance of election in
this presidential year than the strong
est Democrat of the State, they natur-
ally inclined towards the sure thing,
seeing that their wishes were apt to
be carried out anyway.
Democrats couldn't vote at the
primaries although a few Of them
did, by swearing away their Demo-
cratic vote for one year-yet Dunn
was nominated. At the election every
Democrat who wishes may vote for
Dunn, and most of them will.
Now, if Dunn could be nominated in
the face of the strongest opposition
that the Office holding ring could put
up against him, and without the as
sistance of the Democratic vote
which will come to him in the election,
what grounds are there for the absurd
cry by the Collins-Parkerite combina-
ton that he cannot be elected?
Is there anybody fool enough to be-
lieve that the Collins contingent is ca
pable of a stronger or more violent
opposition than the one put up before
the nomination? And will the Demo-
cratic vote, which could not be given
Mr.. Dunn at the primaries and con-
ventions but which will come to him
in the election-will that count for
nothing?
All statements to the effect that r.
G. Dunn cannot ana will not be elected
are idle chatter, without the slightest
fact in reason to rest upon.
Of course the ofice-holding Van
Sant-Collins ring would like to see
him defeated, if such a thing were
possible, and this ring is calling vo-
ciferously upon the Democrats to help
out in the attempt. But the Demo-
Gratis owe the Van Sant-Collins outfit
nothing-unless it be shower of able
bodied kicks. Any Democrat base
enough to lend himself to the purposes
of this malodorous body of salary
grabbers ought to be branded as a
traitor and ostracised as such.
Il. G. Dunn, on the other hand, will
accomplish many purposes aimed at
by the Democrats, and since the very
best the Democrats of Minnesota can
do is to either help Dunn and his
friends Or help the State house para
sites and their friends, there ought to
be no two questions about what to do.
Stand by the man of the people as
against the professional salary grab
bers now, infesting the State capitol.
That man is Robert G. Dunn.-Anoka
