Strong Men Needed.''

Eveleth Star: Are the strong
men," of whom The Duluth Herald
speaks 40 highly, Democrats? Fur
| nish list of strong men, please.
1t really seems too bad to take up
so much of the time of Editor and
Representative Bowling in this
little controversy over The Herald's
appeal to Northern Minnesota to
send her strongest men to the next
state legislature. The Herald, of
course, has nothing better to do,
and could hardly spend its time to
greater advantage than in enga ging
in friendly and sociable confab
with the editor and representative.
Yet it hopes that nobody will be-
lieve from this that it has had any
personal reference, in it's discus
sions of the need of a strong repre-
sentation, to Mr.. Bowling.
Are The Herald's strong men,
Democrats: Let the Eveleth Star
be assured that that is the very least
of The Herald's troubles. 1t has
said nothing about the politics of
the men that should be sent, and
hereafter it will say nothing more
than it is going to say now on that
subject. 1t does not care whether
they are Democrats or Republicans
so long as they are strong men.
Yet; in view of the fact that Mime
sofa is a republican state and that
the legislature is overwhelmingly
Republican, possibly it might be
said that, all other things being
equal, membership in the domin-
ant party might be listed as an adj
vantage to legislator seeking to
do things for Northern Minnesota.
In other words, given two candi-
dates of equal strength, one a
Democrat and the other a Republi-
can, there would be some reason in
choosing the Republican,, because
he would be a member of the party
in control of the legislature, and
this might be an advantage to him
in seeking the good of his part of
the state. Given n weak Republic
can and a strong Democrat, beyond
all question the Democrat should
be sent.
In short, The Herald wants
Northern Minnesota to send her
strongest men to the Legislature,
and except as stated above PARTISAN
ship is no measure of personal
strength. Everybody knows that
the ideal men for Legislative posi-
tons seldom, seek them, and this is
the time when they should.
"Furnish list of strong men,
please" politely requests the Star.
Not this evening, dear Star. The
Herald can fancy the Star twink
ling nerrily as it makes the request
knowing that if The Herald acceded
it would be disobeying a hint here.
tofore given by the Star when il
said: fortunately, the people
choose their legislatures now" O,
words to that effect. Fortunately
indeed, the people do make thei,
own choice, and The Herald will
not presume to do it for them. Il
will simply appeal to them, as il
has done in the past, TO make their
choice carefully; wisely and with
their own best interests in view
and not the interests of the self
seeking gentlemen who sometimes
slip into prominent place when the
people are busily engaged in Other
things.-Duluth Herald.

LINcoLN,s WIT.
That and Ridicule weres Hi. weap-

Wit and ridicule were Lincoln's
weapons of offense and defense, and
be probably laughed more jury cases
practiced at the bar.
II once heard Mr.. Lincoln defend a
man in Bloomington against a charge
of passing counterfeit money!" Vice
President Stevenson told the writer.
ssThere was a pretty clear case against
the accused, but when the chief wit
ness for the people took the stand he
stated that his name was j. Parker
Green. and Lincoln reverted to this
the moment he rose to cross examine.
why j. Parker Green? What did the
j. stand for? John? Well. why didn't
the witness call himself John p. Green?
That was his name, wasn't it? Well,
what was the reason he did not wish
to be known by his right name? Did j..
Parker Green have anything to con
.ceal, and, if not. why did j. Parker
Green part his name in that way?'
And so on. OF course the whole exam
ination was f%arcical," Mr.. Stevenson
said, "but there was something ire
sistibly funny in the varying tones and
infections Of Mr.. Lincoln's voice as he
rang the changes upon the mans
name, and at the recess the very boys

An Arabian Legend.

The Arabians had a tradition that
when the devil started forth from his
own place to the garden Of Eden he
was too lazy to walk and begged all
the animals. one after another, to car.
" him. All refused except the ser
pent, which was then a quadruped and
the most beautiful of all beasts. Yield.
ing to the %entreaties of Satan. the SER
pent took UP the devil on Its back and
carried him the rest of the way, no
one knows how far. and after the con
sequences Of the DEVILS entry into the
garden became apparent the angels
were commanded to look up the SER
pent and punish 1t, so Michael cut OF
it's legs, and it was doomed hence
forth to travel about as best it could
dat on the ground.
