books; but civilized man cannot live
without cooks" If we could live with
out dining, many of our most acute
sociological problems would be solved
But we are bound to eat to live. Of
course we violate fundamental law
of nature when we merely live to eat
Dining being such necessity, there
are tens of thousands of individuals
wise In their own conceit-who gre
eternally busy telling us how, what,
when and why we should eat. Several
years ago Nature implanted an instinct
in all animals that told them how to
eat. The lower animals follow this
guide unto this day, when they are
not meddled with. A dog will lap up
milk. but will turn up its nose at
champagne. It will eat piece #
meat. and sniff at salad. The ami
mails all seem to know their business
and they generally eat what is best for
them. Birds will pick out the edible
butterflies from the colors, though
some of these butterflies are wise
enough to employ the mimicry of
colors and ape the hues of the inedible
butterflies. But mans eating is in
som esense an acquired art This is

ticket or not vote at all. Consequently,
a great many refuse to vote at all.
1t must not be forgotten that at the
last village election there were elected
two men who refused to bow down to
machine politics and refused to quail
ify.
The Herald scribe claimed the demo-
Gratis were machine men (meaning
Hansbrough men). Will the insurgent
chieftain deny that certain local in
surgents were sent to ''see" certain
democratic leaders and try to get the
democrats of Ramsey county to join
forces with the insurgents and carry
the county? The democrat approached

We'll, what is there in it for us? We
ought to have half OF the offices, hadn't
we?"
Insurgent-'Well. what do YOU
want?"
Democrat-"Well. We ought to have

in-law of the insurgent leader
These are only few of the many
reasons why all good republicans
should vote and work against the insur-
gent machine, whose only object is to
thwart republican principles by join
ing with the demecrats-when they
can-and overthrow tried and faithful
republicans of long and honorable
standing.

people at the polls and. of course. is an

people at the polls and. of course. is an
insurgent now.
In the campaign two years ago Nor
man Nelson's place of business was
used as headquarters by the insur-
gent leader, but as soon as Nelson re-
fused to be tool. headquarters were
changed to the store of H. A. Moe, who
the chieftain has brought forward as a
delegate to the state convention. AS
regards the attitude of Editor Cham
bers. he has always been firm friend
of Hansbrough and is now supporting
Hon. G. w. H. Davis for representa-
tive. but it has been asserted on the
street corners that If Chambers did
not act friendly to the insurgent lead
er he would lose the county printing
and that the merchants who are con-
trolled politically by the insurgent
leader would refuse to advertise in the
Sun. We do not claim the above to
be facts. but we do know it is the talk
on the street corners.
The insurgents claim to be against
machine politics, yet there is more evil
dence of machine politics in this viii
lage today than there ever was in the
state. In the state you always knew
who you were expected to vote for be-
fore election day. but in this village
you are kept in total darkness as to
candidates until after the polls open.
Then all of a sudden printed ticket
appears on the scene composed of in
surgents-nO one seems to know
where from-and you can vote that

Churchs Ferry, May 4.-As the Her
aid reporter wrote up the politicians
of this vicinity from a biased stand
point, l ask space to tell some facts
that have never appeared in print. In
regard to the insurgent movement in
this vicinity. it is we'll to know who
is behind it.

Ramsey county insurgents. lives in
this village, but formally lived in Cou-
lee township. There in his old home.
where best known. he always ran be-
hind his ticket on account of his I'M
popularity.
In the campaign two years ago Nc
COrmick professed to be friend to
Hon. Norman Nelson-whO was always
friendly to Senator Hansbrough-in
his campaign for representative from
this county. but when Mr.. Nelson re-
fused to have ring in his nose and
be led around by Mccormick. Nelson
was accused of being crooked and dis
honest by McCormicks followers. But
in justice to Mr.. Nelson he has as
many firm friends today in this vicin-
ity where best known as any of the
insurgent leaders.
The Herald man doomed H. A. Moe
of this village for delegate to the state
convention. Who is H. A. Moe politi-
cally? It will be remembered that the
friends of Hansbrough nominated Mr..
Moe for register of deeds few years
ago and he was turned down by the

1t Is not even misdemeanor to be
a bore-which proves that there is no
such thing on earth as justice. 1t
ought to be a felony. The bore is born
with relish for human agony as the
tiger has a thirst. for blood. He is
an amateur in torment. q cohnoisseur

of torture. The Iroquois Indians had
studied the human body until they
knew the exact spot to apply each
instrument ofItorture to produce the
greatest pain. To the same end, the
bore has studied the mind until he has
made himself an expert in Internal
psychology. Deliberately. skillfully,
like Raphael welding his brush. he
applies his fiendish apparatus to the

If you are huprying to catch train
