Judge Collins Is Gaining.

The New Ulm Review is another news
paper that is not pleased at the disgrace
full conduct of R. C. Dunn, and that we'll
conducted newspaper has this to say of
the gubernatorial situation:
'FThere is absolutely no question but
that Collins is gaining in parts of the
state where he was thought to be the
weakest The writer was over the west
ern part of the state last week and in
conversation with some of the politi-
clans they admitted that Dunn's chances
were not, so strong as they were some
time ago, and that was before Dunn got
into public notice as a fist.ighter. Even
Redwood county, which has always
boasted that it would send full Dunn
delegation to the convention, has begun
to figure that there will be some in the
delegation who will be for some other
man. The fact is the men who usually
figure out the slate for the county poll
tics in Redwood county will find that
the people of the county are going to
figure little themselves in the matter
of governor. Lac qui Parle county is
in the same list and those who were so
confident that the county would go solid
for the Princeton statesman have made
up their minds that it will be divided
and are working now to see that the
delegation is not more than half for
Collins. This sentiment is spreading and
the result is very evident for it is some

Bows and Vacation DAYS.

The St. Paul Globe wants to know
what is to be done with the thousands OF
small boys who have been turned out
from the schools for the summer va
cation. In view of the rapidly in
creasing amount of crime that is
rightfully charged up to the small boy
the authorities of the larger cities are
indeed perplexed over the question
What to do with the youngsters who are
now permitted to roam the streets, many
parents being too busy with numerous
duties to look after their offsprings, is
one of the problems that cannot easily
be solved. The Globe advises that the
boys be put to work part of the day
Very well said, but is there employment
at hand for all of them? To be sure
there is work that can be done about the
house, but this labor will not keep the
youngsters employed during all of the
two months and half of the summer
and Just think of the hundreds of lads
who are unfortunate enough to live in
flats. These boys cannot have the pleas
ure of pushing lawn mower, neither
will they be given an opportunity to dc
many other things that would not only
put them into better trim for contest
on the diamond or a scrimmage on the
gridiron.
There are many boys who will solve
the problem by taking themselves tc
the country and there work for their
board; others will secure employment OF
various kinds; but God pity the youth
who will have nothing to occupy his
mind and hands during these vacation
days. This is the lad who is liable
to fall into evil ways.

Give the Second Its Due

/. The Preston Times has certain ideas
on the judicial situation, and in COM
menting upon the candidacy of the men
who are seeking the supreme bench says:
"The Times would like to see Judges
Jaggard and Searle on the supreme bench
and we don't care a continental who
of the four sitting justices are displac-
ed to make room for them, except JUS
tice Lovely. The latter is not only an able
jurist, but a most excellent gentleman
and friend, one of those who does not
forget his former associates because he
has been elevated to a high position"
The Times is very careful to advise
that Judge Lovely be not disturbed.
Judge Lovely lives in the first district
which includes Preston. The Times ad-
vocacy of Judge Searle for the supreme
bench is no doubt prompted by desire
to have another candidate for state
office spring up in st. Cloud which is
the home of Judge Collins.
Of course The Times would not care
to have the first district sacrifice any
of its state officers for the sake of
giving the other districts proper repre-
sentation on the state ticket. The first
district is like Oliver Twist, always
calling for more. That district now has
two supreme judges, the state auditor,
not to mention the governor, and it is
clamoring for the state treasurship and
place on the railroad and warehouse
commission.
The second district, always to be
found piling up Republican majorities
for the national, state and congressional
tickets, is very modest in its requests
for recognition. This district asks that
it be recognized by awarding w. E.
Young the nomination for railroad and
warehouse commissioner. There is no

time before the convention will be call

tinuc DelOre the convention Will be call
ed.
I'm reference to the matter of COVER
nor, the character of the two men was
made manifest by the action of Mr..
Dunn when he let his temper get the
best of him in controversy with the
political editor of The Minneapolis Jour
nal and attempted to batter him with his
umbrella and calling him all the vile
names that are to be found in the cate
CORY OF men who make a practice of
breaking the second commandment.
Whatever the provocation Mr.. Dunn
should have refrained from this attack
1t is not what is to be expected of the
man who is aspiring to the place of gov
ernor of the state. Do you suppose
that Mr.. Collins could be made to make
such a public disgraceful exhibition of
himself! Simply bringing out the differ
ence in the character of the two men
and shows what this paper has always
contended, that in the choice of the men
for the position of governor lies not
in discrimination as to ability but in
the dignity with which they will admin
lister the office. When we can get man
with clean lips, who does not find his
pleasure in resorting with men who use
the low places of the city as a lever for
their political advancement, let us have
that man. We are not in need of another

rapidity. In our northern states we
have good deal of tradition to over
come, but it will be overcome. By the
way, it is we'll to note the influence which
our agricultural colleges are having on
the universities with which they are as
ISOLATED. Cornell University and the
University of Wisconsin are two good
illustrations. Classicalism does not dom
mate any longer. The industrial spirit
exerts its influence. The aim is to learn
how to do, how to achieve. The fact
is that the education of the hand and
brain must go on together. When boy
is learning to accomplish something So
cially or individually useful, he is Sc
curing just that sort of mental dis
cipline which good citizen needs.
AS the change goes on it will permeate
every social class. The hired men on
the farm will be proud to just that sort
of knowledge which is required by mod
ern methods. The old style of help hav-
ing passed away, and its education with
scythe and cradle, the newer help can
come in, educated along the new lines.
One hundred years ago there was a So
cial equality between the employees and
employers on our farms. This era passed
away, leaving our farm help of lower
grade than the farmer himself. With
the change indicated, social life on the
farm will be regenerated. The best edu-
Gated boys and girls will not consider it
disgrace to be engaged in agriculture.

Honored in His Home Town.


The Republicans of St. Cloud have or
ganized an enthusiastic Collins club.
The following resolutions were adopted:
"Whereas, the Honorable L. W. Col
Inns is candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor of the state OF
Minnesota; and
'Whereas, for more than fifty years
he has faithfully and conscientiously
served this city and county and state
and nation as citizen, soldier, legislator
and jurist; and
"Whereas, the Republicans of the city
of st. Cloud and the territory adjacent
thereto, desiring to render such service
to him as may come from loyal and en-
thusiastic home support, have organized
the Collins club;
"Now, therefore, be it resolved, that
the Collins club of st. cloud and vicinity
formally express to Judge Collins its con.
fidence in him as a man and gentleman
and in his eminent qualifications as an
executive; and that it pledge to him its
enthusiastic support in an endeavor to
bring about his nomination by the Re-
publican party as its candidate for CHIEF
executive of this state"

although it would be no more than JUS
tice to the second district were it to be
given. two candidates on the state tick

lieves strongly that Mr.. Young is the
logical candidate from the second dis
trict, and his claims are entitled to favor
able consideration at the hands OF the
Republicans in state convention. The
position of state railroad and ware

the people of southern Minnesota than
almost any other state office, and II
that be this districts portion, no great

give Iowa City the needed outlet and
would provide competitor fol-. the
grasping Rock Island
Work was begun in the fall, has con-
tinued all winter and the road is in a
fair way to be completed this month. The
road is being built in such shape that it
can easily carry heavy stock and grain
cars, and it will now be possible for the
farmers to ship either via Cedar Rapids
and the Northwestern or over the Rock
Island.
There are few grades in the new line
The promoters are not building line
that follows the contour of the country
up hill and down hill. They are build
ing line as straight as the crow flies,
and at grade that might as well do
for trunk line where the heaviest en-
gines and the longest trains are to be
pulled. On this line more than any
other in the state is noticed the natural
consequences to the farmer of electric
railway building.
The price of land in the Immediate
vicinity of the road has increased in
value from $40 to $25 per acre. A vast
deal of improvement has begun, new
fences are being placed, new barns are
being built, the houses and all of the
buildings upon the places are being re-
painted. While these improvements are
hardly the direct result of the road
they are the indirect result, and il
amounts to the same thing.
The new electric line does more fol
the farmer than to lower the freight
rates for him. 1t establishes little
country towns along its route, and there.
by shortens the haul that the men with
stock and grain to sell have to make.
1t is this way that the electric inter.
urban helps the farmer more than in any
other. Every point on the line can be
station if necessary, because of the
ease with which the cars can stop. Al
the expense of few dollars the big feed
ers along the line can have small side
tracks and stock loading chutes built
into their feeding yards, and the stock
shipped direct from the farm at which il
was fed, saving the shrinkage which a
drive of five or seven miles always
makes.

PoIitene.s Costs Nothing.

1t costs nothing to be polite. If you
are polite and courteous you will be
ranked as gentleman, regardless of
whether your riches run up into the
millions or you have not house to
cover your head. A pleasant word to an
acquaintance, or smile given in re-
turn for salutation helps to make the
world look brighter for all concerned. A
scowl or blunt spoken word gives peo-
Pile the impression that the one who in
dulges in them has soured on all man
kind. Don't be rude. Rudeness is not
born of a gentleman or lady, 1t must
be remembered that all have feelings,
and there are many people who are more
sensitive than others, and rough speech
and incivility of manner is shocking to
them. 1t should be the duty of parents
to teach their children politeness at all
times. The school teacher should in
struct their pupils in true politeness.
