A memorial association will be or
gained by the relatives of the victims
of the Iroquois theater fire at Chicago.
1t will seek to establish suitable
memorial to perpetuate the memory
of those who lost their lives in the fire,
to extend aid to those made destitute
and to devise and carry out methods
of preventing similar occurrences in
the future and to assist and compel
the enforcement of existing and any fu-
ture ordinances and statutes for the
purpose of safeguarding human life.
The objects and aims of the asso-
citation are worthy ones and the organ
ization will prove a useful one if it
is maintained in proper shape.

The anticipating crusade in Mime
apolis is being waged with vigor and
many thoughtless expectorater has
been pulled for letting his combina-
ton of tobacco, snuff and saliva get
onto the sidewalks, the street car
floors, public corridors, and other
places. In the court house and city
hall the cuspidores have been taken
out and this old-time and veryluseful
piece of courthouse furniture has been
removed from the court rooms, SO that
court has to take a recess of a few
minuts every time a juror. or lawyer
has to spit. The art of expectorating
in public places in MINNEAPOLIS 81, will
soon be a lost one, and it's well it's so.

"A Greenbush farmer has invented
an eggophone. It is great thing, as
with it's use he can detect whether the
chicks in the egges are old enough to
eat worms. AS long as the chicks are
not good husky worm eaters the eggs
are considered merchantable with eggs
at present high prices, and then there
is another thing about this invention,
it is valuable because by detecting the
correct age of the chicks it can be de-

egges in with old staple groceries

We have repeatedly stated in con-
versation with friends and others that
the proprietor of. the News is not a
candidate for office. He is not ambi-
tious to become a candidate for Office
and certainly has no expectations in
that direction. It seems to be hard
for some people to understand why a
man should not care for public life.
People are not all alike; some prize
freedom of action and frank independ-
ence much more than they do the
honors that may come with public
place. In this connection it NAV be
said that the proprietor of the News
has no desire whatever to become a
member of the national committee: he
does not even want to go as delegate
to the national convention. There
will and should be only one choice in
the convention for president Theo-
dore Roosevelt. However, we never
expect to be out of politics and shall
always take that lively interest in poll
tics which every American citizen
should take. We are content to be

It might be we'll to remember that
the country in Mile Laos county north
OF Princeton is growing rapidly and
becoming settled with an Industrious
class of people who are entitled to all
the aid and assistance possible and
no man should begrudge them penny
spent in opening up that country and
developing it. Princeton has received
many thousands of dollars in taxes
from the unsettled portion of the
county and the man who is not broad
and liberal enough to freely give
toward the development of that section
is a mighty poor specimen Of citizen.
Every school district organized in
central and northern Mile Laos
county means great deal to the
county, and Princeton should say to
the unorganized sections of the. county
Take the territory and may you be
blessed and prosper Princeton is
rich enough and old enough to take
care OF itself without asking the farm
ers and settlers to help support it's
schools, build sewers, and contribute
toward those things which Princeton
can very easily take care of.

MEANT WHAT HE SAID.
DUNN ENTERS FORMALLY

There is not enough Of the I'M
expected in the fact that "Bob''
Dunn has formally announced
that he is a candidate for governor
to produce any great excitement.
It has. been a matter of common
knowledge for months that he was
not only a receptive but an active
candidate. The whole preliminary
campaign has been revolving
about that fact. The political sit
uation has been shaped to it.
Nevertheless, there has been no
little interest in what position
Dunn would take in his formal
announcement. Now that he has
made his declaration, it is found
to be like most formal statements
of the kind, not at all significant.
To be sure when Bob Dunn pledges
himself to an impartial enforce
ment of the laws or to anything
else it is likely tormean more than
it would coming. from the ordinary
candidate. But then we havn't
any ordinary candidate this year.
The fact is that neither Dunn's
nor any mans fitness for the gov
ernorship is going to be judged by
formal declarations. Personal
character and official records are
the essential bases of Judgment.
Dunn's honesty, energy and cour-
age are very generally recognized,
while his record as a member of
the legislature and as auditor has
won for him the respect and ad-
miration of very many citizens in
all parts of the State. There is,
moreover, probably no one better
acquainted with the business of
the State. There is therefore no
reason to doubt that Dunn, if
elected, would give a vigorous
and intelligent administrations
Pioneer Press.
Every pledge made in Bob. Dunn
will be fulfilled to tn
letter if he is chosen governor.

Shall we have a volunteer fire de-
partment? That question has been
ringing in the ears of all the citizens
OF Princeton for a year or more, and
still nothing has been done. The
council last year failed to do any
thing, and let us hope the present
council will take hold and do some
thing. The recorder and president
have been authorized to see what can
be done and there is no question but
what it is up to the business men to
take hold and help them. Rev. Gratz
in his sermon last Sunday on ''Les-
sons from the Chicago Fire. referred
with singing rebuke to the democrat
lied condition Of the Princeton fire
department, and the responsibility
that rested on the citizens and officials
of Princeton should there be any loss
OF life or great loss of property from
fire. The word duty seems to stand
out in bold relief at the present time.

be red In letters of scarlet "guilty!''
