Winnebsgo City Enterprise: The
Albert Lea authorities have stopped |
people from battling in Fountain Lake,
and the fish, which were dying rapidly !
are now we'll and hearty. ! >E& !
Henderson Independent Times: Nc
Cleary openly advocates that when the !
tariff is revised it be revised upwards, !
and the platform advocates that when
it be revised it be revised downwards.
See? If Second district Republicans
are wise they will get next to Senator i
Miller, who is not 'stand patter" on
the tariff proposition, but is in accord
ance with the intent of the platform.
Minneapolis Journal: A wedding
fad that is being worked quite extern
siyelv this summer is that of getting
the bride to wear your garter to her
wedding. After the ceremony the gar
ter is given by the bride to the owner,
to be placed under the pillow of said
owner, in place of the old-time we'd
ding cake. You will dream of your
next husband if you have garter of
this kind under your pillow.
Mortified News: The Austin Trans
cript and several other country news
papers are making an appeal Tor
Senator Clapp on the ground that the
Republican State convention endorsed
his candidacv. We do not criticise
these publications because OF their
preference for the senator, but it should
be remembered that this same Re-
publican convention unanimously nom-
mated Robert C. Dunn for governor.
Glenwood Gopher: The Mortified
News has repudiated the plank in the
Republican platform endorsing Gov.
Van SAINTS fight against the merger,
and the Minneapolis Tribune has re-
pudiated the plank endorsing Senator
Clapp for reelection. From the stand
point of party loyalty we don't see that
such actions are whit better than
repudiating part of the ticket nom-
| mated.
Scientific American: In the autumn
| bore a hole one or two inches IN dl-
ameter, according to the girth of the
stump, vertically in the center of the
latter, and about eighteen inches deep;
put into it one or two ounces OF salt
peter; fill the hole with water and plug
up close. In the ensuing spring take
out the plug and pour in about one
half gallon of kerosene oil. and ignite
| it. The stump will smolder away,
without blazing, to the very extremities
of the roots, leaving nothing but ashes.
Jackson Republic: There seems to
be general sentiment prevailing that
the rural free delivery is an injury to
| ~ ~ int nf
cities. While this may be true to some
extent we are inclined to think the
scare on this point is largely due to the
fact that since the free mail delivery
system has been in vogue, farmers do
not 90 to town near so often as former
ly, and their absence on the streets
leads people to believe that there is nc
business being done. Farmers. we
think, are buying just as much of oul
merchants, but they are not paradlng
the streets and making show of it.
Hutchinson independents Times:
Persons who plant barberry bushes dc
a great injury to the wheat growers, as
this ornamental shrub harbors one sci
of the spores of what is know as the
black rust. The present season has
been a splendid one for the develop
ment of the rust because of the slow
| growth and moist atmospheric condi
tions. We observe that some varieties
Of wheat are more subject to rust thar
others, which gives us hope that W.
may yet succeed in breeding a rust
proof strain of fife or bluestem.
| St. Cloud Journal Press: Certainl,
the character of nominees of bott
parties has not improved under thu
J primary law as applied to county ant
congressional candidates. Is there no
rather more danger from corporate in
, fluence in selecting state officers thar
under the present system? To make /;
state campaign for the nomination O:
, governor, Tor instance, with fierce
, contest on, will be very expensive
] Would not poor men, no matter how
!, worthy, be deferred from being candi
dates and would it not soon be the or
der Of politics that only rich men, O.
mon who are wanted by the corpora
tions, would become candidates? i
81 Commercial Bulletin: Retailer
associations are educating the mer
chant to campaign for trade alon,
! broader lines. The next thing is t,
!. bring the local editor into camp as al
ally. The merchants of town shoul,
8 do all they can for the editor. In tnr1
. they should insist that he give them
! bright paper and push it's circulation
into every possible nook and corner O
q the territory from which they desire t,
n pull trade. The town which has th
! most widely circulating newspaper ha
the advantage in the fight for trade
Circulars ought not to be as good al
advertising medium as the local paper
i Faribault Journal: The distric
court of the first judicial district 8
II Minnesota has rendered decision
j which should be read with much car,
by municipalities and electric light ant
telephone companies. It is to til,
effect that trees growing on the stree
outside the property line belong to til.
