Wykoff Messenger: Mr. Langum OF
the Preston Times was not a delegate
to the state convention; his great claims
of Dunn carrying Fillmore county did
not materalize. Sam is poor prophet.
Lime Springs Sun: A street faker
was exhibiting what he claimed was
the "smallest man in the world" IN an
empty building Tuesday. AS there are
some pretty small men running loose
these days, very few paid the admls-
sion fee.
Faribault Journal: The thought
full suuibber on an esteemed exchange
saws: "A game of base ball is not IN
the nature of things a religious
festival" The Journal has an Office
bow or two who often know 1t IN the
nature of funeral.
Sleepy Eve Dispatch: A university
professor has discovered that SWIM
of lust three minutes, no more and no
less. is a perfect physical exercise.
That may be all right, but most people
in this country will not care for more
exercise than is afforded by the lawn
mower in summer and the snow shovel
in winter.
St. Cloud Journal Press: The St.
Paul Pioneer Press which used to be
a newspaper-gave Dunn, in it's pre-
convention table, nearly all the coun-
ties carried by Collins. The people OF
Minnesota will sooner or later. resent
the wholesale and malicious misrepre-
sentations made by the Pioneer Press
in behalf of the corporations.
New York Sun: The main question
the overshadowing issue, is free labor
the right of the American citizen, in
any department of lawful industry, to
sell his work at such price as he is
content to accept for it, and to be pro-
tected to the fullest extent of the
powers of government and the sentl-
ment> of society IN the unrestricted
exercise of his right.
Slayton Gazette: Poor. Finland!
Deprived of her rights and liberties
without any apparent reason, her sons
are driven to desperation and to show
their disapproval of Russia's arbitrary
acts resort to murder. The governor
general appointed by the czar of Russia
is shot down as he enters the Finnish
house of parliament. Murder is not
right, but who will condemn brave
and peaceable people when goaded as
the Firms have been the past few
years?
Minneapolis Tribune: No man can

who dreams of universal dominion,
who grudges power, popularity and
influence to- all but himself, who wishes
to destroy every leader the people trust
and set up in their places men who are
his own servile tools, who defies law as
we'll as fairness and decency in the at
tempt to make his will the only rule
for his party. The Lafollette delegates
shook the dust of the convention from
their feet to "appeal to the people,
But they have to run the gauntlet OF
the supreme court first.
Hayward Progress: When the mail
carrier on route No. returned from
his trip one day last week he found 8
nice fat sack of oats at the barn, left
by patron of his route. In Iowa, it is
the custom among the patrons to con
tribnte two sacks of oats per year tC
the carrier. The amount is so small
the farmers do not miss the oats while
it is great boon to the carrier, who is
obliged to keep number of horses in
order to keep up his service. These
kindly acts also act as an incentive fol
the carrier to render the best service
possible to his patrons. Reader, if you
are on rural route remember this.
| Northfeld News: And now as
school is out and hundreds of boys are
wondering what to do next The News
would suggest the most healthful thing
in the world, and that is to go out onto
a farm and dig right in for the summer
Work never hurt One-tenth as many
boys as idleness and the boys that get
there in this world are those who are
not afraid to pitch in and hustle. Good
outdoor work in the sunshine and early
to bed nights will make good timber
for future statesmen and founders OF
good homes.
Faribault Republican: An action
is pending in the Minnesota supreme
court for testing the legality of the law
which prohibits the sale of adulterate5
linseed oil. The contention of the de
fense is that while the state may pre
scribe the conditions under which the
oil may be sold, such as requiring it tc
| be labeled, it cannot prohibit the sale
There are number of cases demanding
prosecution by the dairy and food com
mission that have been held in abey
ance pending the result in the case now
before the supreme court.
