Lyle Tribune: Rev. Belden has GER
tainly made success Of making two
one transcript j ournaD and any one
looking over the marriage, columns OF
the Transcript is convinced that he is
still in the business, but now he is going
to make three one transcript j J0urnal.
Times,) Well we believe Farmer Ben
is the man that can do it.
Big Stone Journal: What a trans
parent ruse that "Morey letter. was,
and to what extremities Mr.. Dunn's
managers are resorting iii their desper-
cord as a state auditor, if you will, but
don't undertake to gain the sympathy
of the voters with any such tlimsy
dodge That letter will prove to be a
genguine boomerang to Mr.. X. G. Dunn
before the campaign is over.
Dairy Record: The inability of the
farmers to successfully operate in
business enterprises has often been
charged by the advocates of the central
creameries[ and while there have been
grounds for such an accusation in the
past, the present success of the cooper
'ative idea has routed the claims of
these well-paid, self-accused logicians,
and our farmers have proven to the
world that they can work together and
pull together for the benefit of them
selves.
Chatfeld News Democrat: We must
say, however, that the sentiment in
this section of the state is much in IA
vor of Mr. Collins, and that there is no
doubt but that Fillmore county will
send solid delegation to the state con-
vention instructed for Mr.. Collins, who
has made an enviable record as judge
of the supreme court and also on &C.
count of the stand taken-by him on the
merger question which is by no means
"dead" as the Dunn supporters would
have us believe.
Rochester Democrat: The most har-
rowing and heartrending Easter story
of the year comes from Faribault, and
is found in the columns of the ournal.
A society lady wore new hat to
church on Easter day, and found her
self the center of observation. She
imagined that all the other women
were envying her, but discovered later
on that they were reading the price
tag, which she had forgotten to remove,
and which showed that it was marked
down from $17.7 to $2.98.
: Minneapolis Tribune: As there is in
this world no unmixed good or evil, the
labor-saving inventions, the discoveries
which have made life easier and more
comfortable, have their penalties.
Among these are explosions of natural
gas, railroad smash-ups, steamship dis
asters, deaths caused by electric wires
and many other perils. Possibly that
slow Jogging, unprOgressive, !unambi-
tious world of a century ago, which
lived in happy ignorance Of disease
germs and appendicitis, as we'll as of
modern time and labor-saYing inven-
tions, was more cOntented world than
ours today. "%E
Morristown Press: Two Mormon
elders have been doing the town the
past week and seem to be quite active,
tracts and talking wher-
ever permitted to. Although very lib
eral on religious matters we would
want religion very bad before accept
ting the Mormon brand. The very
name, associated as it is with all that
is vicious and impure, cannot appeal
very strongly to respectable Christian
people. The gentlemen should be al
lowed to leave tracks of course but let
them be with their toes toward the
front gate.
Albert Lea Tribune: Another evi-
dence of the retrenchment and reform
policy of the great octopus, the Stand
ard Oil Co.. is shown in the order re-
Gently issued that the agent here can
not have postoffice box at the expense
OF the company, the great concern
that squeeZes millions of excess money
out of people demanding that the agent
here pay for the box himself or 20 with
out. This is fully in keeping with the
general pusillanimous policy that has
been pursued with the giant trust and
it is high time something was done to
clip the wing OF the infamy.
Orleans (Ind.) Examiner: An exper-
fenced teacher says that pupils who
have access to newspapers at home,
when compared with those that do not,
are better readers, better grammarians,
better punctuators, and read more un-
derstandingly, and obtain a practical
knowledge of geography in almost
half the time it requires the others.
The newspaper is decidedly an impor-
tant factor in modern times. This
will not be disputed by any one who
has taken the trouble to investiga. e the
matter himself. 4. :
Cannon Falls Beacon: Charles
Smith related his experience with quack
grass. He had about four acres of it.
He plowed it. down and cultivated it
repeatedly, finally sowing it heavily to
mlllet. The millet came on very strong
crop and when we'll advanced was laid
nat by storm. BY running the ma
chine one way he managed to get it
quite clean. When the millet had been
taken off not a bit of nnacl GRO cs sho1r
