a wonderful political revival it all the
democrats that represented themselves
as republicans at the primary election
hold fast to the new faith But an.ep-,
idemic of backsllding is feared. .
Aitkin Age: The man who gets
mad at what the newspapers say about
him is generally just the man who
should return thanks three times
day for the things the newspapers
know about him and do not print.
New Prague Times: Have you a
wife who sees all your good points and
knows nothing about those that are
bad, who loves you and trusts you bet.
ter now than she did when first you
stood up together and said, II do?"
Then you are rich, no matter it there
is not a dollar in the bank.
CLARA City Herald: Some of the boys
but it turned out miserable failure,
only two boys and nine girls were in
attendance. The two fellows conclud-
ed that they had too much OF a good
thing, so took sneak home and then
the dance broke up.
Atchison Globe: When. people are
good to turkey or boy the turkey

Is brought to town in a buggy it is
prob ably for the purpose Ut having
tooth pulled.
Preston Republican: Governor john
son, in his Red Wing speevh, used the
personal pronoun "I'' lO9 times, s'my"

papers have another credit due them.

house commissioners to order the ex-
press companies doing bushes in the
state to show cause as to why their

Blue Earth Register: Mr. and Mrs.
l.. NJ. Tollefson left the first of the.
| week for their new home at Austin,
where Mr.. T0llefson will be employed
in first class paint shop. Mr.. Toilet
! sons handiW0rk is shown in a good
many jobs around Blue Earth and
vicinity, and he is a No. / workman,
! and we have always found him a pleas

Minneapolis Journal: Again we see
revealed the tendency of the direct pri-
mary to keep fairly good men in office.
It creates sort of terrestrial paradise:
for the ins, and leaves the outs to con-
tinue the textual habit of gnashing
their teeth. One must have a pretty
bad record to lose an. office he holds,

a new candidate. This is altogether
natural. Voting under the primary law
is blind business anyway. Ns -.

the kind was recently made on one Of
the government torpedo boats, first gas
cline and then alcohol being used in
the course of a test lasting several hours
