Hon. A. L. Cole at GAINESVILLE.

From GAINESVILLE, Mimi, Argus,
The visit of Hon. A. L.. Co]e,; repub.
liean candidate for governor, to James,
vile was fraught with much pleasure
and profit to the citizens here and it is
believed that it was satisfactory to the
candidate. e @$
There is no Disgusting the fact that
MIR. Coles presence among us was pro-
ductlve of much good. All our citi-
zens, irrespective of party, were not
only favorably impressed but we're
highly pleased. Mr.. Cole is indeed a
man possessed of a pleasing appear
ance and a marked personality that is
winning the respect and confidence of
the people. Judging from many re-
marks by those whom he met we
should say that there is is no drift
whatever away from the head of the
ticket as was the case two years ago but
on the contrary that there is a marked
tendency not only to hold republicans
! in line but to attract voters of other
parties. In any event there is no rea-
son in the world why republicans
should not stick to the head of the
ticket and every reason why they
should.

If. all Bought of Mail Order
Horses.

It would be interesting to see What
would happen in country whose
people bought all their supplies from
the mail order houses, says the Adrian
Democrat. But this is about the way
it would work out: The stores would
stand it as long as they could and then
move. Banks would close their doors.
The newspapers would have to quit.
The hotels would have to go out of
business, mechanics move away, schools
dwindle, sidewalks go to wreck, build
ings would become vacant, unpainted
and dilapidated, strangers would take
one look and flee. Now isn't that pre-
cisely what would happen if an entire
county were populated with people
who bought everything in Chicago and
St. Louis? Who would buy farm
so located that he couldn't drive to
some sort of town? A sane man
wouldn't take land at half price. Be a
friend to your own town and it will
be a friend to you.

Standard Oil Prosperity

Of all investments now offered the
public, none perhaps is so certain to
produce quick and large profits as the
stock of the Self Threading Sewing
Machine Needle Company of Mime
apolis. This is true because the manu-.
facturers of this wonderful needle have
a monopoly of the business, and having
already larger demand than they can
meet and as the profit on needles is
simply enormous about 800 per cent -
owners Of stock in this concern are
more than likely to experience some
real Standard Oil prosperity. If you
have a few idle dollars that you'd like
to invest at something like IL per cent
to begin with, it will certainly pay you
to investigate this. The Self Thread.

Can Kill Quack Grass.

Hugh Bolar, a farmer living near
Truman, furnished his local paper with
the following account of his method
Of exterminating quack grass. We
give it to our readers for what it is
worth:
"We read quite lot in the papers
about how to kill quack grass, and as
I have had little experience, will give
it for the benefit of my friends. have
piece of ground that had quack grass
on it for about ten years. One year
ago last spring I did not SOW this piece
of ground, but just after seeding 1
commenced cultivating the spots of
grass with corn plow and kept at
them until l could not find them.
Then went over the whole piece once
in two weeks until the first of July,
when I planted it to corn for fodder
using III bu. of seed to the acre, and a
nicer piece Of fodder [ have never seen.
1t went FIVE loads of fine fodder to
the acre, which was good laying crop,
and it left the ground in good shape
for a crop Of wheat this year and last.
But best of all I killed all the quack
grass on that piece; and when say all
l mean all; I don't mean that [ just
killed enough so that I could raise a
crop, but that there is none left on the
ground. AS for me am not afraid of
quack grass, for firmly believe can
kill any quack grass through the
months of May and June by cultivat-
ing with corn plow. The main point
L think is to dig the roots to the top of
the ground and the sun will do the rest.
1 did not haul any roots off the ground
and do not believe it necessary"
If Mr.. Boiler had one of Matt Smiths
quack exterminating machines he
would have found it a desirable substi-
tute for the corn plow used by him.

No Canada For Him.

Mr., and Mrs. Albert korthals re-
turned Monday afternoon from near
Moosejaw, Skask., Canada, where they
went last spring to take a homestead
Mr.. Korthals stated when he returned
that he wanted no part of Canada for
his home.
Mr.. Korthals has looked over the
country very carefully and found that
the reports sent out by the Canadian
agents are very false. He got the
Canadian fever by reading the circu-
lars sent out by these agents, stating
the wonderful crops Canada is raising,
no crop failures and everything sold as
cheap there as here. Mr.. .Korthals
says that the existing conditions are
not SO, Machinery, lumber, flour and
nearly everything is much higher than
here. Lumber, for Instance, is much
higher common lumber selling for $45
a thousand. Near Moosejaw the
farmers have been hailed out for seven
successive years. When he first ar
rived there the country was dry and
all vegetation burned and dried up,
and a little later on it commenced to
rain and Mr.. Korthals says it was rain
ing yet when they left Saturday.
Mr.. Korthals talked with many who
came from Minnesota and this majority
of them were anxious to get back, but
they couldn't as they spent all they
possessed to get there. When settler
goes to Canada it is difficult for him
to get away, unless he is a person Of
means. An immigrant is not allowed
to sell his property until he has lived
there one year. Minnesota is a good
stock and agricultural country and its
citizens should think seriously before
leaving. Sebeka Review. .

Primary Law Defective.

Ever since primary election consider
able criticism of the primary election
law has been heard.
The principal complaint has been as
to that feature which compels a man
to declare his politics before voting.
and the facility afforded by the law. in
permitting the members Of one party
to vote for the candidates of the other
party.
Speaking of the primary law County
Attorney Thomas r. Kane of St. Paul
says:
1.-The law is not, perhaps, as perfect
as it might be in certain particulars,
but while it is easy to pick out the
flaws, it is not so easy to remedy them.
II find one misconception as to the
primary.
:. .aMany people regard it the same as
an election, while the law of the
supreme court is in effect that the
primary is not an election within the
meaning OF the constitution. There
fore, when the judges of election re-
quire the voter to declare his politics
they are not violating the constitutional
rights Of such voter.
.sThis is an important fact that must
be kept in mind when considering the
provisions of the primary system.
"Under the terms Of the law mans
party designation is fixed by the ticket
he voted at the preceding general
election, so that if he changed his poll
tics in the meantime he could register
at the primaries, but not vote till the
election when he could fix.his political
status anew. .;- -
If these be faults, know of no way
to remedy them. st. Paul Dispatch.

That Chicago bank wrecker, Stems
land, who was caught in Africa arrived
in Chicago last week and was on his
way to the pen the same day, The
only trouble was that he got indeter-
inmate sentence for his forgery and
stealin' and he may be let out in one
year or in seven. He ought to have
had it whacked to him for about thirty
vears hard labor. If he'd ben COM
moner chap he'd hav got stiffer SEN
tence. But he'll hav time to think
over his crimes for while anyway. 1t
looks like more cases could be treated
in our courts in the same summary
manner and criminals get their just
deserts without legal jugglin' and delay.
If we had such swiftness and sureness
Of justice we wouldn't hav so much
lynchin' and riotin' and contempt OF
courts. Stensland claims that when
he started he didn't mean to really
steal but only borrow and use and
speculate for a while and when he
made good profit then he'd put the
money back. 1t never pans out that
way and it never will. The only safe
way is to let other folks money alone
from the word go. But l don't like
Stensland's gettin' mild sentence and
some poor chap that stole coat or a
pair Of shoes gettin' double.
That riot with the colored gemmen
down in Atlanta may lead to somethin'
awful to suffer. This KILN off of a
lot of niggers only stirs up the bad
blood of the rest. It's nifty certain
that wouldn't want to liv down there
at a thousand a month. This negro
prop is hard one l run onto it down
in Dixie in war time. It looks like the
niggers somehow amt many of 'em
got gumprion to control themselves.
Under the old way they got showed
what to do and they did it. 1t was a
great mistake to turn 'em loose with
the ballot until they was eddicated to
it. 1t was all right to free 'em and
than let 'em know their place and
make 'em keep it, Civ 'em a chance to-
learn and work and earn and all that,
but not to put fool idle notions in their
heads. It's awful easy to settle the
negro question thousand miles off
but you get right down among 'em and
and have your women folks always in
danger of bein' assaulted and see the
lazy shiftless loafin' crowd gettin' up
. pish and bigheaded and riotous and
you'll change your tune like you was
strack. If the niggers could only get
right down to work and let the white
folks go by themselves socially and
they keep their own sassiety it would
make a big help. But the ignorant
colored brother with a ballot in his
hand is a menace.
1t looks like Cuba was goin' to be our
plum nifty quick. We didn't want to
hurry things but when she materially
thrust herself into our arms and
wouldn't have it otherwise we'll hav to
take her in and adopt her. If it hadn't
ben for the sentiment of the thing we
ought to hav done this very thing at
the time Of the war with Spain and had
it over but lots of folks are so alfred
conscientious that they don't use COM
mon sense about things. The quicker
Cuba becomes q part of Uncle Sans
4 territory the quicker the rebellion and
insurrection business will go out Of
style. It's destiny and if we help des-

/ wonder if that Minneapolis young
wife murder will be a lesson to girls
about rushin' into marriage with folks
they know little about and while in

twenty and she married agenst the

and she's lived cat and dog life since
Her husband soon deserted her so fur
as supportin' her and she has lived
with her folks agen most of the time.
Probaly she was hard to keep home
nights and liked to run around with
the boys and just took freak fancy
when only sixteen to tie up. She didn't
know no more about proper selection
and affinity and congeniality and suit
ability than cow knows about reform
ed spellin'. Girls at 16 are in awful
dangerous age. The only safe place
for 'em is at home with their mothers.
And there's no worser place on earth
for 'em than the streets at night. l
see that the mayor of Akron, Ohio, has
asked the mothers of girls who dirt Oh
the streets at night to Civ 'em an old

theirs ought to take hand in this bus!-
