Many farmers are going into Can
ada from Minnesota and many are re-
turning. They find that in the Cana
dian northwest practically all the
government land within easy access
of railroads has been pre-empted and
that the price asked for farms owned
by spectators fully as high as de-
manded in Minnesota. Eighty miles
to the nearest railroad station is not
an enticing proposition for Mime
sofa farmer who has been accustomed
to reach the depot with his products
in an hour or two. But eighty miles
from a railroad station is the nearest
point at which a farmer can now take
up government lands in Canada, and
these lands are the only cheap tracts
obtainable. Farmers contemplating
emigration to Canada should make a
trip there and carefully look over the
field before deciding to sell their val
liable holdings in Minnesota.

AS usual there is a red hot political
fight on, in the 53rd district (Todd,
Wadena and Hubbard). Until recent
~ Senator E. B. Wood of Todd was
an avowed candidate for reelection
to the state senate, but now he is out
of the running as far as the republican
nomination is concerned, he having
withdrawn in favor of Hon. Asher
Murray of Wadena. For some time
past prominent Todd county farmer,
James Johnson, has been an aggres-
sive, candidate for the seat in the
senate occupied by Mr.. Wood, and
evidently the latter gentleman was
afraid of the outcome at the primaries.
If Mr.. Murray defeats Mr.. Johnson
the Wood-Sheets-E Eastman faction will
be satisfied, but on the other hand if,
as is altogether likely, Mr.. Johnson
wins at the primaries, Mr.. Wood will,
in all probability, file as an independ-
ent candidate and keep up the fight
until the polls close on the 9Th of Nov
ember.

The editors of London and other
British dailies are unanimous in
their denunciation of Roosevelt's
adoption Of the Carnegie commits
sions' mutilated form of English
spelling. Anent this distortion the
London Star says that "having in
troduced a new and guaranteed brand
of canned beef to the world, this tire
less innovator is engaged in popular
izing a new brand of canned Eng.
lish." Another paper remarks: "Our
language is our own: we love it and
we shall write it as it is proper. D
"Thru," says writer in a third pa.
per, is merely barbarism while
'thoroly' and sthruout' are nothing
less than literary emetics." In the
British Isles, where spelling forms
one of the principal courses in the
schools, it is safe to. predict that the
photographic fad of Carnegie, will
never be introduced.

So the Dane was put to sleep by
the niger after bloody battle of
forty-two rounds. It was a case
where two men agree to submit to
physical punishment for the large
money consideration there is in it.
Nowadays there is no such thing as a
test of science in pugilistic encounters.
The result is invariably cut and dried
before the battle commences and each
man gets an equal division of the
spoils. In wrestling the same tactics
are resorted to. Exhibitions of this
nature are disgrace to the American
continent and strenuous measures
should be adopted to put them down.

Mr.. John Goss is possessed of a
high sense of honor and would scorn
to resort to disreputable methods to
insure his election to the state senate.
He is conducting an open and above
board canvass. He is known to a
majority of the voters in every county
of the district and does not stand in
need of newspaper laudation. If he is
successful at the primaries next Tues.
day he will have no opposition in
November, and the 45th district will
have for it's representative in the state
senate an incorruptible christian
gentleman who will act and vote for
the best interests of his constituents
and the state at large. A more honor
able, kind-hearted, conscientious man
than John Goss does not reside in the
10th legislative district.

There is every Indication that Post
master General Cortelyou is seeking
trouble. He has issued orders that he
will permit no employe of the depart
ment to belong to a union which has
for it's object the betterment of it's
members conditions. In consequence
dissatisfaction is fast manifesting it.
self among the employees of the depart
ment and an appeal to congress
against such oppression is freely
talked of. It is said that Cortelyou is
a veritable dictator and somewhat of a
tyrant. He will find, however, that the
postoffice employees have rights>which
they will insist upon even should a
strike be precipitated in an endeavor
to enforce them, and the discomfort
now existing among these employees
savors largely of this course being
adopted. To say the least, the situa-
ton is seriously threatening.

,RINGEToN UNION: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER Is, 1906

The secretary of the United States
treasury has ordered that money de-
posted by the government in national
banks throughout the country must
be used in the communities where
placed and not loaned to New York
brokers for speculative purposes.
Banks having more of this money
than their communities can absorb
are Instructed to return the surplus to
the United States treasury, from
whence it may be placed where it will
DO the most good. The depositaries
OF government funds are also enjoined
from lending money at a hi gh rate of
interest. The enforcement of this
order can hardly prove other than
beneficial to the country at large.

Hon. J. F. Jacobson in a speech at
Big Lake on Tuesday fercely at
tackled Congressman Buckman's rec
ord in the state senate, more es-
pecially his vote on the four per cent
gross earnings bill in the 1899 session.
It was Mr.. Jacobson's own colleague
in the senate, Hon. E. T. Young, pres
ent attorney general, who as chair
man of the judiciary committee re-
ported the four per cent bill unconsti-
tutional and recommended it's indef-
mite postponement. Buchanan along
with thirty other senators voted, to
sustain Young's report. Why single
out Buchanan at this particular time
for condemnation? He is no more
censurable than the attorney general
or any of the other thirty sena-
tors who voted against that most
righteous measure. We write with
some feeling on the subject. r. G.
Dunn was the first public official in
the state to recommend the four per
cent gross earnings tax. He fought
for the measure in season and out of
season. and two years ago from every
platform from which he talked urged
the people to vote for the proposition.
By doing so he incurred the active
enmity of the railroad corporations
and John A. johnson profited thereby.

In almost every legislative district
in the state the republican candidates
are putting themselves on record as
faVorlng the return of Hon. Knute
Nelson to the United States senate.
The little crowd of mercenaries who
have agreed to side-track Nelson in
the interest of an ignorant multi
millionaire Minneapolis lumberman
have large-sized contract on their
hands. The next legislature will, we
believe: be composed largely of men
not susceptible to bar'l influence.
There will be mercenaries there-there
always are-but they will not dare
show their hand. Knute Nelson will
be reelected without a skirmish, and
the ignorant and arrogant Minneap-
oils pine-grabber will be wiser but
a slightly poorer man.

Many people seem to think a con-
gresham is nothing but a special
agent for extracting funds from the
United States treasury for the benefit
of his district. Journal.
Then there are others who think
that a congressman's endeavors are
mostly put forth in attempting the ex-
traction of funds from the corpora
lions for the benefit of himself. Which
is correct?
