WHY WAS THIS THUS,

In Minnesota town two men were
running for an important local office
last fall. one young lawyer who was
q typical son of the soil, having been
raised on farm. had no bad habits,
was almost an ideal young man and
was an enterprising and public spirited
fellow, who paid out lots Of money to
the labortng element of the community.
His opponent was q blacksmith, whose
earnings went largely to the saloon
keeper, who never spent cent for
the town and paid no taxes When the
vote was counted the blacksmith had
60 per cent Of the votes. The explana-
ton Of this is that the American people
in matters Of this sort are quite often
natural born fools.

that they cannot be kept under control,

can other breeds. They are great
