the assets S3,100, with 10 exemption
claimed. a
New Ulm Journal: The. Illinois
Central railroad has cut off the potiti-
clans from it's pass list. If all railroads
would do likewise the constituents of
the Legislators and congressman would
not have cause to scent graft so heavily
as at the present time.
Minneapolis journal: A new tele
phone company in New Fork is asking
for franchise, and has offered in re-
turn So, $4,000 and the use for the city
of 1000 telephones for twenty FIVE
years. This is the sort of thing we
give away for nothing in Minneapolis.
Minneapolis News: If you feel that
you have an "Amen" in you and that
you must let it out, why-]et it out,
even though the preacher doesn't like
it. But in doing so, don't imagine that
your "Amens" alone, however fervent
and lusty, can make the world bit
better or happier, or stilHa cry of want
or moan of pain.
Preston Republican. Senator Clam
has made his position clear as to the
rate legislation. being the most outspok-
en- in it's favor of any member OF the
committee having the matter in charge.

Clapp's earnest efforts will be produc-
tive of anything approaching the presi-
dents recommendations.
Spring Valley Mercury: S. E. Boyes
has sold his farm in Frankford town
ship, three and one half miles west of
town, to the Fryer Brothers for $22, ,OOO-
nearly $1,000 an acre. There is half
section in the farm, every foot of
| which is under cultivation. It is one
of the best farms in this section, and
worth every dollar for which it was
sold.
Albert Lea Enterpris e: Look into the
81 b ,me of all strangers who come along
offering you things for little money.
Don't decide offhand. Sleep over it. Per-
haps you may think you may miss a
chance to get splendid thing without
paying for it. That is not likely.
Real, genuine benefactors of their fell
low men go about their business in an
altogether different way. Set that
down for fact.
| Albert Lea Times: A prominent
creamery manager says that patrons
are very generally extravagant in the
home. Some of the smaller patrons
consume so much butter that.it takes
all their milk check to pay it. Some

would pay them to go back to keeping
one or two good mich COWS and make
their butter at home as they did years
ago..
GAINESVILLE Argus: There is after all
some redeeming virtue in a standpatter.
1t depends altogether upon what the
man may stand for. If he is grounded
in some abiding conviction in ninety
nine cases out of a hundred he will
win if ne ''stands pat" Friends may
inveigh against him; foes may ridicuIe
him; the world may laugh; but in the
long run if he stands firm he will gain
the applause of his associates and the
COMMUNICATION and respect of the
world. 1t is because men do not stand
pat that they lose in the battle of life.
Clara City Herald: The appoint
ment of congressman Tawney from
this state to be chairman of the appro-
priati0ns committee in place of con-
gresham McCleary, gives the latter
such set back that he will have a
hard job to retain his seat in Congress
The appointment OF Tawney to be
chairman of the appropriations com.
mittee, perhaps the most important
one in the House has given that gentle
man prestige whicn will land him in
the Speakers chair some day.
Lanesboro Leader: The man who
owns little home and keeps it up ir
good shape is public benefaetor. HI

of the neighborhood and hence increases
the value of his neighbor's property Al
well as his own. Every little improve
