sor James referred to an article which
appeared in a morning paper. Upon
questioning one of the members of the
class he found that the student was
not prepared to discuss current news;
and an examination of the class
showed that but two of the members
had read a morning paper.

MAY GET NEW ROUTE.

Up to People Along Proposed Route to
Decide.
Postmaster Cordiner says that by
compliance with the requirements of
the department the people of Spencer
Brook may acquire a new route.
Such requirements are that they place
the cemetery road east of Baldwin in
a suitable condition for travel and
that the two gates across such road
way be removed. These conditions
being complied with, the postofice
inspector will recommend the estab-
lishment of the new route. In reality
this route would be a reconstruction
of number 3, now in existence. and
would run from Princeton to Spencer
Brook on the south and return by the
lower road through the town of Bald
win. 1t now runs southwest of Spen-
Ger Brook.
The new route would be of great
benefit to the people along it's pro-
posed course and it is now up to them
to show their spirit of progressiveness
by reconstructing the roads placing
them in suitable condition for travel

Sell When Fair Prices Can be Obtained

Sell When Fair Prices Can be Obtained.
The Union has published several
articles and reports that would tend
to Indicate a shortage in the potato
crop OF the country generally. But
we have not and do not now advise the
farmers to hold their potatoes for
higher prices. Potatoes is crop
that it does not pay to handle too
often, and the larger share of a
farmers crop should be marketed in
the fall, especially if fair prices can
be obtained. During the past two
weeks prices have ranged from 35
cents to 81 cents per bushel in the
Princeton market-certainly fair
prices. The U i O is desirous that
the farmers should receive good
prices for their. produce and will en-
deavor to keep them posted as to the
true state of the market, but at the
same time we deem it good business
policy on their part to dispose of their
products when reasonably good prices
can be Observation-Disclosures of enough
at least to liquidate their indebtedness
to the merchants and traders.

Frustrated.

On Saturday Lawyer Peterson Of
Minneapolis visited Justice Norton to
protest against the treatment accorded
the Finlanders who were given ten
days in jail here. It appears that the
Finlanders represented to Mr.. Peter
son that they were thrown into the lock-
up without being given the opportunity
of trial. Upon this being proven
to be a lie the hostile spark in the
lawyers eyes vanished and he de-
parted wearing very pronounced
facial expression of humiliation. His
obvious intent was to bring action for
damages.

Would Check Cynical Dishonesty,

The following is an extract from
President Roosevelt's speech at At
lanta which is we'll worth reading:
1.-The man of great means who
achieves fortune by crooked methods
does wrong to the whole body polite.
But he not merely does wrong to, he
becomes a source of imminent danger
to, other men Of great means; for his
lll-won success tends to arouse feel
ing OF resentment, which if it becomes
inhamed, fails to differentiate between
the men of wealth who have done
decently and the men of wealth who
have not done decently.
1.-The conscience of our people has
been deeply shocked by the revela-
lions made Of recent years as to the
way in which some of the great for
tunes have been obtained and used.
and there is, I think, in the minds of
the people at large a strong feeling
that q serious effort must be made to
put stop to the cynical dishonesty
and contempt for right which have
thus been revealed. I believe that
something, and I hope that good
deal, can be done by law to remedy
the state of things complained of.
But when all that can be has thus
been done there will yet remain
much which the law cannot touch
and which must be reached by the
force of public opinion.
There are men who do not divide
actions merely into those that are
honest and those that are not, but
create third subdivision-that of
law honestly; of that kind of honesty
which consists in keeping clear of the
penitentiary.
1--WE cannot afford in this country
to draw the distinction as between
rich man and poor man. The dis
tinction upon which we must insist is
the vital, deep-lying, Interchangeable
distinction between the honest man
and the dishonest man, between the
man who acts decently and fairly by
his nelghbor and with quick sense
OF his obligations and the man who
acknowledges no internal law save
that OF his own will and appetite.
"Above all, we should treat with a
peculiarly contemptuous adherence
the man who, in spirit of sheer
cynicism, debauches either our bust
ness life or our political life.',

THE POTATO MARKET
Burbanks Go Up to Fifty=Seven Cents
per Bushel But Later Drop
TO Forty=Two Cents.
Farmers Hold Crop in Anticipation OF
Advance in PriceS--But Small
Quantities Coming In.

Upon no day during the week COM
mencing on Friday, Oct. 20, has any
great quantity of potatoes been
brought to market, this being due
partly to the fact that the farmers are
putting forth every effort to remove
their tubers from the ground before
freezing prevents it, and partly for
the reason that some of them are hold
ing their crop in anticipation Of
higher prices prevailing.
The highest prices for the week ruled
on Friday, when a few loads sold as
high as 81 cents per bushel. This was
brought about by a spirit, or squirt,
of rivalry among the buyers, who
sought to outbid- one another regard
less of the price reached. An under
standing was arrived at upon that
night, however, between the competing
Warehousemen wherein it was agreed
to adopt a schedule covering the
prices of the several grades, such
schedule to be adhered to by all
buyers. This placed Burbanks at AZ
cents per bushel with lower grades in
comparison down the scale. At least
we received this information from one
of the principal warehousemen. and
it's truth has apparently been borne
out by the uniformity in price which
has since prevailed at the potato
depots.
Perhaps there is a larger and better
crop of potatoes in the vicinity OF
Princeton than in almost any other
part of Minnesota, but at the same
time the yield does not nearly ap-
proach the average.
AS near as can be at this time es-
timated from crop reports of the vari-
Gus sections of the United States the
general yield of potatoes for the whole
country will not reach more than one
third Of the usual supply.
It is estimated that it will require
1000. cars for the potato movement at
Princeton this season. v"

Indians as Forest Guards.

Francis F. Leupp, United States
commissioner Of Indian affairs, has a
plan for the return Of the Indian tc
nature that is expected to appea!
strongly to the young men on reserva.
tions adjacent to the big forest tracts
controlled by the government. Uncle
Sans wards are to be given a chance
to secure appointments as forest
guards, thus becoming caretakers o.
their native heath. Only a limited
number of men from each reservation
can hope to secure those positions,
but all such are to have fair chance.
A circular letter has been addressed
to agents and superintendent of In.
dian schools throughout the country
asking them to furnish lists of Indians
under their. charge who are eligible
for the position of forest guard. Not
more than dozen from each agency
in the neighborhood of forest re.
serve are desired at this time, but
more may be added after the Indian
has had a chance. to demonstrate his
ability to protect the great forests
from fire and other depredations.
The names submitted will be put into
the hands of forest supervisors, who
will confer with agents and superin.
tendents when men are needed.
The position Of forest guard is dis.
tinct from that of forest ranger, the
guard acting as assistant to the
ranger. The guards ordinarily will
not be allowed to serve more than six
months of each year. They will be
on duty when the danger of forest fires
is most pronounced, but are to be
ready for all emergencies. The com.
pensation of forest guards varies
from $50 to $50 month while on duty,
