Land Sales.

The state will hold land sales during
the entite month beginning at Little
Falls. The sales opened in Cass coun-
ty and continue through the following
counties during the following weeks
Of the month: Atkin, Pine, Carlton,
Isanti, Sherbourne, Anoka, Benton
and Kenabec It is expected that
about 50,000 acres will be offered for
sale.
State Auditor Iverson does not antic-
ipate heavy sale of land in the coun-
ties named as the locsl demand for
land is not great The idea in holding
the sales has been to offer for sale land
in proportion to the local demand It is
expected however that about $4,000
acres will be sold.

Would Like Japs to Be Tall.

The pet desire of the emperor OF Japan
is said to be to create by means of a
more carnivorous diet a taller race of
soldiers. The European style of food
was tried for several years on small
boys in the government schools, but they
disliked it, and it did not give the de-
sired results. The report of the de-
tors who had charge OF these child rem
at the government schools could suggest
no better way to secure tall soldiers than
to encourage the japanese to marry Eu-
rOpean women.

quently heard during these
days of the national politi-
cal campaign are "the cleo

NVEE cal campaign are "the elec-
~z toral college" and "the pop
ular vote" Just how much
they mean to the average citizen and
voter it would be hard to- determine,
but it is reasonably certain that there
are great many who have not a clear
understanding of just what the cleo
toral college is, and do not appreciate
the relation of the popular vote to the
electoral college and the successful and
the defeated candidates. Certain it is
that If the plans and purposes of the
organizers of our government had been
realized, and freedom and independence
from party domination had been pre-
served to the electoral college in the
discharge of it's duty of electing the
president and vice president, the voter
to-day would have had clearer under
standing of the functions of this body.
The early patriots of this country,
whose province it was to frame the
laws governing the selection Of the
men who should serve the nation as
president and vice president, never
dreamed that the electoral college, the
machine which they devised for the
work of filling the highest Offices in the
gift of the nation, would become a
mere igurehead, q mere cog in the
machinery, instead of being the ma
chine itself. The fact is that govern
ment by means of popular franchise
was an experiment at that stage of
hictnrv NJ hn t,~xy n
not deemed safe or wise to commit
the selection of the chief executive of
the nation and his assistant into the
hands of the people.
For this reason the electoral college
was provided and it was expected that
the wisest, and most trustworthy lead
ers OF the various states would be Sc
lected as members of the electoral COL
lege, and that unhampered by pledge
or other prearranged scheme, they
would assemble and cast their ballots
for the men who, in their mature judy
ment, they deemed best qualified and
able to fill the high and responsible
Offices.
But the country has long since lost
sight Of the fact that the electoral COL
lege is factor in the national presi-
Dental election. 1t is safe to say that
a majority Of the voters who cast their
ballots for president and vice president,
do not realize that they are not, strict
ly speaking, voting for such candidates
at all, but for the long string of names
which are indicated as electors. There
Is no law, except the unwritten law of
custom, to prevent the electors chosen
from selecting candidate other than
the one named on the ticket Such VIC.
lation of party pledge has never been
known and undoubtedly never will be-
| 1t is fact, however, that the vote,
never has the privilege of voting di
rectly for president or vice president
He votes only for electors who are
pledged to support the candidates
which the party has named at it's con
vention prior to the election. The
term, popular VOTE" therefore, ir
some measure is misnomer If there
is no vote cast directly for president
