Cass Lake Rival.

of the Match.

st. Paul, June l2.-William Olson, a
motorist of Bemidji and Walter Carl

to the Automobile club of St. Paul ask
ing whether it will be possible for them
to secure position on the programme
of racing events July at the fair
grounds.
Olson is the owned of d twelve horse
power car while Carlson recently pur-
chased mysterious looking motor
which is said to be eight horse power.
Both machines are speedy and the
friends of the rivals make claim of sup
eriority for each.
To make the matter more binding it
is reported that Olson and Carlson are
both suitors for the hand of the same
young woman. Last week they clashed
in the home of the young woman and
sneering remarks We're made by both
men. The result. was a challenge to an
automobile race the prize to be the
favor of the girl and the tossing ma
chine. According to the conditions of
the race the winner is to have both cars
and one month in which to pay his at
tentions to the woman undisturbed by
the loser.
Olson and Carlson are so confident of
the outcome of the race that they want
to pull it off during the 1905 st. Paul
Auto Carnival races which will be neld
in this city July 6 and 8, in the presence
of thousands of spectators from all over
the country. ,'''''' ~
They write that the young woman has
agreed to the terms of the contract and
has promised to be in the grand stand

mer School instructors.
From Thursdays Daily.


Music, drawing, physical culture and
other studies not classed as solid sub
ects," should not be taught in the
summer schools, which begin June FL,
in the opinion of j. w. Olsen, state
superintendent of public instruction.
In statement explaining the purpose
of the schools, Mr. Olsen says that time
spent in such studies would be wasted.
"Music, drawing, physical culture and
other branches, that do not require spe-
cial study for recitation are not class
ed as solid subjects" says Mr. Olsen.
During as short term as four or
six weeks effort would be wasted were
too much attempted, while, through in
tensive study of one or two subjects,
the student may form the habit of
striking bottom in studying, and learn
how to teach thoroughly. Recitations
should require two hours prepare
tion on the part of the student, and
should approximate an hour in length

years ago the curve, and tgestIei .were

" : 1t is a very hopeful sign in the
farmers that they kept busy at home
yesterday instead of wasting good time
listening to Col. T. S. Fisk siren song
in favor of farmers crust" A little
thought would convince any reasonable
person that it is utterly impossible for
the farmers to fix the price of their pro-
duce, and that it would be an injustice
to the public if they could.
A farmers trust would be no less vic
ious than any other trust, for, if sue
cessful, like the rest of them, it would

there. The only poins. is sHow they
can get justice without being unjust

taliationywiH avail. Their only hope is
to break Up other trusts and combina.
tions and that can only be accomplish
ed by combined political action.
Class legislation is at the root of
all the evils of "unfair trade" and the
only remedy for unfair trade is "free
trade" Anything short of that will
only be patchwork. Free trade means
fair trade for under it combinations
would be useless and harmless because
the "fy" would not be compelled to
trade with the spider.
Prices would then be fair prices, both
for labor and the products of labor,
because they would be natural prices.
That the price of labor and the products
of labor have a natural value, and are
governed by natural laws as fixed as
the laws which govern the tides or the
planets can be proved beyond doubt. 1t
is only when greed and cunning en-
slave the one and control the other
begins.
With the exception of negro slavery,
there were no social problems before
the Civil War. The tariff and class leg
islation are the parents of the trust
and combines, and the labor troubles
their hideous off-springs. The farmer
is the victim of them all, but never
free himself by adopting their meth

tails with an earnestness of manner and

perfect knowledge of the facts
David's armor was such as all useful
citizens must wear the armor OF

ENTERED MINISTER'S HOME.
Robbers Secure Money From Resi-
dence Of Vernon Center Devine.

From Saturdays Daily.
The robbery which occurred at the
Barnes residence at Vernon Center
Wednesday night was more extensive
than at first reported. The News
states that $35 in bills was taken; also
some rare coins and the $l75 diamond
shirt stud They effected an entrance
by way of the cellar.
The residence of Rev. Reed was also
entered and few dollars in money tax
en- from him and $3.50 taken from his
daughter, Bessie. The thieves left no
clue but suspicion rests on couple of
fellows who have been selling jewelry
here a few days ago and have
been apprehended in Garden City and
Mr. Barnes went there to identify his
property.
Information received by Sheriff Will
Jams shows that the minister was robbed
of pair of trousers and sum of mon
ey, and that the servant girl, in addition
to money, was robbed of gold ring.
Mr.. Shelby, the Lake Crystal barber,
bought a diamond yesterday morning of
a stranger who offered it cheap. 1t has
subsequently been identified by Mr.. and
Mrs. Barnes as theirs. It had been re-
moved from the stud.
Deputy Sheriff Osten went to Garden
City yesterday and arrested two men
on suspicion. Then, in an automobile,
he went to Lake Crystal in twenty
minutes and arrested two strangers.
Then ne went to Loon lake and arrested
two more. All six were taken before
the barber, but he said that the man
who sold him the diamond was not one
of the six. The men were then released.
Mr.. Osten went out again today in
search of the parties who have been
selling jewelry in this section. Sheriff
Williams believes that they are the par
ties VINO committed the robberies in
this city and vicinity recently.
