Managed by The Grand Army OF
The Republic,

Probably there is no city in the
state where the G.. A. r. is as promi-
nent in public and business affairs as
Sank Centre. John R. Howard has
recently been elected to the Legislature
and his chances of being chosen
speaker are the brightest.
County Commissioner J.fH. Cam
field has been reelected. NJ. l..
Webb is Mayor. J. "A. Norris is Presi-
dent OF the Library Board and has
been head station agent for the G. N.
Railway Co. in this city for twenty
eight years. Harry Parker is Super
intendent of the waterworks. c. M.
Sprague is President of the First
National Bank; L. Kells of the Bank
OF Sank Centre, and Henry Keller oil
the Merchants National and also
President of the Keller Manufacturing
Company. Albert Dahlem is at the
head OF a large mercantile business
and has been located here since 1868,
All these are old soldiers and there
are numerous other prominent in
business, social and public life. We
doubt ii this record can be duplicated
by any city in the state large OF
small. 1t is needless to say that all
these men are a credit to the positions
they hold and are as faithful in the
discharge of their duties now as they
were when they wore their country's
blue and fought beneath the flag.

Stearns County Each Year Gets
More Money From State Treasury
for Schools Than IL Pays in.

Although it is fact, there are
many people who do not realize that
the county of Stearns receives more
money from the state for schools each
year than it pays into the state treas
ury. In the year 1905 this county
paid to the state in all for taxes S37,-
6OO.08 and received in return $5O.511.-
40, which includes the state aid for
schools. This is according to the
statements in the county auditors
office. Every time taxpayer in this
county pays the state 60 cents he re-
celyes nearly dollar in return. The
same is true in Benton county accord
ing to State Auditor s. G.. Iverson
Benton county pays into the state
treasury each year Sc. 500 and in return
receives $9,2O4. This is the case in all
the counties where there are no large
cities. In st. Paul and Menniaplis it
is just the opposite on account of the
great amount of property. How the
state can afford to pay more than it re-
ceives, Auditor Iverson lays to the
wise Legislation of the former legisla-
ture. Minnesota has a permanent
school fund of ST.. 1924, 900, more than
any other state in the Union, with the
single exception of Texas. Iowa has
a permanent school fund of only 81, 476,
700; Michigan, $4,224,OO0; Wisconsin
S3,6O9,0OO, In former years sections
10 and 36 of each town were set aside
for the permanent school fund. In
the other states these lands were sold
many years ago and at that time for a
soug. In some instances land went
for price as low as $1.25 an acre. On
the Minnesota lsnds there was vast
amount ottimber and in some cases
mineral.

against him this year. He has made
a good governor, had held the Office
only one term. The differences in
the republican ranks are by no means
healed. The anti Dunn men who
voted for Mr.. Johnson two years ago
staid by him; and the Dunn men
seemed to think that if he was better
than Bob two years ago he was good
enough for the state this year. The
democrats that voted for Mr.. Dunn
returned to the fold. Mr.. Cole was
handicapped by the opposition of
the liquor interests of the state and

of E. G. Bundy. The fire started in
the har DWARF store and the building
and contents were destroyed as was
the residence Of E. G. Bundy together
with the household goods. We did
not learn how much insurance was

Two years later in company with
his brother yhe drove an OK team
across the unmarked prairies of
Minnesota and settled at Lake Crystal.
Here he worked on a farm summers
and taught schcol winters. It slsec
to be said of him, and is stillrepeated
by the old settlers of that vicinity,
John never stands still, he is always
doing something
In 1868 he enlisted in Company E.
Second Minnesota Cavalry as pri-
vate, being discharged in 1865 as
lieutenant, having made most envi-
able military record and receiving the
concentration of his superior officers
and was especially popular with the
men under his command.
In 1865 he came to Sank Centre
where he had been stationed while q
soldier and took prevention claim
west of town, where he resided for a
time. Afterwards he moved into the
city where he has resided ever since.
In 1877 he was chosen assistant
clerk of the lower house of Minnesota
representatives and served two terms.
In the extra session of 1881, he was
elected chief clerk and was reelected
four times serving from 1881 to 1885.
He made a most competent and
efficient clerk and left record in
that Office that has never been ex-
cefled and seldom equalled.
Immediately after his election to
the House became known he was
beseiged with requests to become q
candidate for speaker and he con-
scented and has entered the contest
with his characteristic energy and
from assurances already received his
chances are very bright.
His intuitive knowledge of nen,
his tremendous capacity for work and
his wide legislative experience emin-
emily fits him for this, next to the
governor, the most important Office
in the state. He is tied to no inter-
ests nor is he bound up with any
combinations. The only pledge he
makes if he is selected he will keep
busy in the interests Of the whole
state. Should he be elected, as we
believe he will be, there will be some
thing doing in the legislature all the
time.

and those who survived the rigors of a
democratic administration have a hor-

And, sir, l pledge you my word that

There is no more likelihood that the
state of Wyoming will go democratic
this year than there was two years
ago, and in fact, the probability is that
the democratic vote in November will
be less than it was in November of
1904. There are some so-called repub-
licans who always vote the democratic
ticket and some democrats who vote
the republican ticket. They will be
the same in number as they were
two years ago, when Governor Brooks,
Congressman Mondell and the republi-
can electors for president and vice
president received larger pluralities
than were ever before given for candi-
dates for like positions. The men NOM
mated by the republican state conven-

mated by the county conventions, in

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only n way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con,
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caus.
ed by catarrh. which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

Why Socialism Fails.

No matter how much difference
there may be in the tomorrow of so
cialism, in its today, when it shall
be i~naugurated as a system, all things
must be owned collectively and that
means that the high and the low come
to a common level; the good and the
bad start even; the idle and the indus
trious share and share alike; the illit-
crate and the learned, the capable and
the incompetent, the fool and the wise
man, the virgin and the troll, the ne
gro and the white, all come to the uni
versal brotherhood pot, and ladle out
an equal porringerful of pottage.
God! What a sordid, sickening dead
level, What an enforced equalizing
of all men and all women, in a world
where God never made two grains of
sand, two leaves of the forest, two
birds of the air, two fish of the sea, two
beasts of the field exactly equal.
only in a political can anyone
even dream of two men being equal,
for our eyes, our common sense, tells us
that such a thing as equality in
strength, capacity, character, or in the
elements and achievements of man
hood has no existence among men.
Socialism proceeds upon the idea
that equality is there, or can be put
there; and the effort to prove that the
idea is correct has been made time and
again. 1t was not only tried among
the ancients, but it has been tried in
modern times and it vas tried by the
colonists who first settled in North
America.
Failure, dismal failure, has been the
result of every experiment. Why? Be
cause human nature is radically, eter-
nally different from what the socialist
assumes it to be.
If all were equal, and all were good,
socialism would be unnecessary, even
from the standpoint of the socialist.
Give us absolute equality and uni
versal goodness, and we don't need
anything but a little time to reach an
equal distribution of wealth n an era
of peace on earth and good will to men

State Teachers Association
The third annual meeting of the Wy

be held at Douglas, September 25-27,

it possible to secure half rates on the

an opportunity TO attend the state fair.
As the printed program has been mail

that the committee in charge has pre-
