II am very glad indeed for this welcome
to the great state of Minnesota. / use the
word great advisedly, as she is great in her
magnificent natural advantages; but these
alone do not make the state. We must have
great policies; wise, rational policies, under
which the people may go forward utilizing
the bountieS. which nature has placed in
their hands. ut Is important that we should
determine great national policies wisely, for
they are of far-reaching significance. Great
as Minnesota Is today, a greater destiny
lies before her if she but hold fast to those
great principles under which she has
achieved so much.''

In a little over a years time the
Merchants National bank has built
up a most fourishing and satisfac-
tory business. Its incorporators
are men of business ability, men of
wealth, men of good sound judg-
ment. 1t is no wonder that backed
by such essential qualifications, the
bank has prospered. Its business
record for the short time it has been
established is wonderful. The
bank building, situated on the cor
ner of Main and Third-sts., is the
handsomest structure in the city.
Henry Keller, president of the
bank, planned the building from
basement to roof. He had in view
just what business should occupy
every floor. The basement was ar
ranged especially for the telegraph
Office and barber shop, and they
are both occupied by the same, and
are most convenient. The first
floor is occupied by the bank. They
are the most conveniently arranged,
beautifully finished banking rooms
to be found anywhere. The second
floors are occupied by Office and liv-
ing rooms. The building is heated
by steam, and also supplied with
hot and cold water. The structure
is built of the very best material
throughout.
Twenty years ago Henry Keller
was one of the incorpora' ors of the
First National bank, in 1884. and
for seventeen years it's president.
He also started the bank of MeIrose
with G. D. Lord, the bank of Park
River with G. D. Lord, and the

RECIPROCITY.

There is no question but that the
''stand-patters" in the republican
national convention will endeavor
to confne the reciprocity declara-
ton to 'reciprocity in snon-com-
peting' commodities" This will
be equivalent to square declara-
ton against reciprocity in any form.
We wonder if the representatives of
the great producing interests will
stand for any such transparent hum
bug. One can count the "non.com-
peting" commodities imported into
this country on the fingers of his
hands. Those that enter into COM
mon and general consumption now
enter the country free of duty.
Reciprocity is simply trading
tariffs and when we have no tariff
to trade how can a tariff be traded?
For grown men to talk about re-
ciprocity in ''non-competing' COM
modities is as silly as it would be to
swap imaginary horses, or to trade
a quarter of section of land in the
moon for one of the rings of Saturn.
We must have more and wider mar.
kets for our producers or we must
curtail production and curtailment
of production means disaster to the
producer. The only way in the
world that our markets can be ex-
tended is by reciprocity. If we
sell all the time and buy nothing
our markets will soon be worthless
because the other fellows won't
have any money to buy with. The
democratic party is woefully short of
political ammunition, we trust re-
publicans will not supply them by

First National bank of Ada with
Chas. Lofgren, and all these banks
are in most fiourishing condition.
When the new bank was started
Mr.. Keller disposed of his interest
in the above banks and became the
president of the Merchants Ma
tional. AS stated above the bank
has been most successful from the
start and the increasing business
speaks volumes tor it's future.
In speaking of the bank it would
seem little out of place if some
mention was not made of the wagon
and six horses standing near.
This is the wagon that is
meeting with so much favor abroad
as we'll as in our own country. 1t
is loaded with rock that was used
in the construction of the basernrr-
of St. Pau's Catholic church, the
weight of the same was 12.4OO
pounds gross with the weight of
the wagon deducted the rock
weighed, net IL, 500 pounds.
Can there be any better proof of
the superiority of these wagons. A
wagon weighing but 500 pounds
capable of holding up a'load of H.
500 pounds. This was in June
1908, the load was hauled six miles.
The wagon is in use today AS good
as ever. This is just the kind #
wagon the people are looking for.
1t is adapted to any climate, being
made of the very best material that
can be procured and thoroughly
seasoned, and is manufactured 10y

POLITICAL CoMMERcIALISM.

William Randolph Hearst, he
wants no part of the name left out
in the writing, is in the market to
purchase the democratic presi-
Dental nomination, and he sets
about his purpose with an audacity
of method and lavishness of ex-
penditure that staggers his oppon-
ents. His campaign is carried on
by men hired by him. The en-
thusiasm is paid for by him at so
much an enthuse. He would have
rented every hotel and lodging
house in St. Louis, where the dem
ocratic national convention is to be
held if he could have secured them.
He has established headquarters in
every city of any size in the United
States and filled them with paid
henchmen. He buys the services
Of brains and ability at the price of
Kings ransom. His checks fill
the air like the flakes of spring
time "sugar" snow. He is the
prince of political commercialism,
the embodiment of the modern
theory that every man has his price,
master of that political school who
believes it is as legitimate to buy
official position as it is to buy shoes.
All this is very reprehensible, and
his opponents, republicans and dem
ocrats alike raise their hands in holy
horror at such a scandalous politi-
cal prostitution. But we would
like to ask the people and the press
who are loudest in condemnation of
"Hearst methods" if their skirts are
clear from political commercialism.
Are not the cities of this state
dotted with headquarters of candi.
dates, handled by paid managers?
Are not candidates buying and pay
ing for the services of brains and
ability? Are not men hired to 20
from place to place to create senti
ment for this candidate or that:
Are or are not republican candidates
pursuing Hearst campaign on a
lilliputian scale? Hearst has le
gal right to expend unlimited mil
lions to secure presidential nom
lnation so long as he expends it in
a Legitimate manner, and though he
otfends public morality and public
decency by his open and lavish ex
penditures, he does not violate any
statute. If Minnesota candidate
expends more than a certain am GUN,
fixed by statute he is a lawbreaker
Isn't retail political jobbery as bad
as wholesale political jobbery!
Have Hearst imitators any right tc
condemn the man they initiate:
"First pluck the mote out of thine
own eye, then thou canst see clearly
to pluck the beam out of thy
brothers eye."
