If was Mayor Of this here town,
I'd make the people do around.
This town should look clean and neat,
For tits Obion's county seat.
You stopped the cows from browsing
round
And turned the old hens on the town.
What she does to a garden is sin
Don't fence her out, but fence her in.
Ii you want raise a few for profit,
Wire is cheap and plenty of it.
Fix them a pen wherein TO scratch,
And keep them out of your turnip
patch.
If a man would throw paper on the
street,
I'd run that jlgger off his feet.
There are bits of paper flying around
Like so many sea gulls over the town.
And then about smoky row
1t does not look like bank Of snow.
Lime is cheap and brushes plenty;
Work one day out of seven
The town would look like snowflake
from heaven.
And then about court square
The house is all right and could be
made a pleasing sight.
The walks are there, all nice and
square,
But where are the flowers and sod,
The two most beautiful gifts of God.
l would sound the trumpet around,
And let Uuiop City put on brand
new gown. b. III.

The funeral service was conducted
by Rev. H. c. Cannon Sunday

Jack the Ripper came over from
Fremont Saturday and worked a
while in the shop. His voice didn't
seem as deep and rich as it did
when he was a resident of our little
burg, and if we had not seen him
we ouldn't have believed it was
our Jack.
Rev. Mr.. Gale, a Baptist minis
ter, moved to this community last
week.
Early last Saturday morning we
looked out across the field and saw
big red fox with about Is hounds
in hot pursuit, and our neighbor,
John Crawford, bringing up the
rear. AS they came by the house
we, with Jumbo, our faithful watch
dog and boon companion, joined in
too. After about an hours fine
running the fox took to his den on
the bluff north of Monroe Vaug hts
home. Being somewhat excited
and hot too, we went to the den
and there were Jim Wheeler, the
politician, Nick Logan, the fox
hunter, Mott Whipple, the farmer,
and Jim True, the walking encvclo-
pedia, digging for dear life, but.
after about two hours hard labor
they give it up as bad job and re-
turned to their respective homes.

There isn't much to tell about the
average country town that Denman
Thompson and Geo. w. Ryer haven't
told In their hardscrab bible comedy "Our

IN their story are equally as pertinent
to communities that ever had church.
Though trimming over with comic
phases of incident common to a coun-

communities and settlements. In this

GOVERNOR JOHNSON AND HIS
CANDIDACY.

Every true citizen of Minnesota
who loves Justice, and who respects
men with moral courage glory in the
denomination of Governor Johnson
by the Minnesota Democrats.
They believe that John A. Johnson
has ably and honestly discharged the
duties Of Governor of this great state
with dignity, fairness and discretion,
and is entitled to continued honors
from the people of Minnesota.
Unfortunately for the governor, the
daily newspapers of Minnesota, with
the exception of the Duluth Evening
Herald, are so partisan as to belittle
his every action as our Chief Exec.
utive.
What has he done?" they ask. To
which we retort, What has he not
done?" In the first place he has
shown moral courage in the admins
tration of the law, and this Is more
than can be said of any Republican
6OVS!uOl VI ISCSuL Cllu0S.
He has earned for Minnesota the
respect and confidence of her sister
states, and of the president of the
United States, and this has long been
denied her because of the subservi-
ency of most of her previous govern
ors to predatory interests.
During the past year the most i'm
portant civil question before the
American people was the exposure
and subsequent reformation Of the big
insurance companies, and no public
official in the west has acquitted him.
self more admirably than Governor
Johnson of Minnesota.
He has added dignity and honesty
to the high office of governor of this
state. 1t determining any matter the
question with him has always been:
What is the right thing to do, and
not what Is the expedient thing?" He
has not attempted to build up a polit-
ical machine to perpetuate his friends
In office. Can this be said of his Re-
publican predecessors?
Every state department over which
Governor Johnson has had control
has been greatly improved in useful.
ness, and not least among these is
the Labor Bureau, which has been
brought back to first principles by
the energy, candor and ability of
Labor Commissioner Williams. There
never was a time in the history of
Minnesota when the labor laws were
SO strictly enforced.
Governor Johnson will and should
be reelected. He is as far superior
to his opponent in ability and other
necessary qualifications as the day is
over night.

Much Money Wasted in Sink
ing Wells Where Former
Futile Tests Were Made.
Plenty Of Water on the Heights,
But Judgment Must Be Used
in Getting It.

There has been a lot of tom foolery
about driving for the wells on the
Heights for the new water system.
The whole system is completed except
the wells, and this is the most import
ant part. The city has taken an ex-
pensive chance in putting this cart be-
fore the horse, but no attention has
been paid to the judgment of those
who have dug many wells on the
Heights.
When the Labor World first advo-
Gated the water system for the Heights
we were certain that an abundant sup
ply of water could be found here, and
we are yet convinced that there is an
adequate supply in narrow vein run.
ming down the alley between Highland
avenue and Hugo street, thence cross
lots to the residence of John Stewart,
crossing Highland avenue In front Of
Mr.. Marions' home
A number of years ago we were en-
gagged in well digging during the hard
times, and we struck some heavy
springs which acted like flowing
wells. We always remembered the
apparent course of these veins, and
when the building of the water system
was finally decided upon we gave the
crew Of the water and light depart
ment the benefit of our experience.
The water crew didn't think much
OF our scheme, and they began to
drive pipes on the east side of High
land avenue. They soon found that
they were on the wrong track, so they
moved to the west side Of the avenue
where they struck flowing well in
short time. They then played about
this vicinity for some time until they
located the exact course of the vein.
Greatly to our surprise when the
permanent pipes were to be driven
the results of the former futile tests
we're ignored, and now after the ex-
penditure Of much useless money the
water department has decided to fol-
low the course where 1t was success
full last year. It is regretable that
such foolish methods have been
adopted in getting water. We hope
that they are now over foolish expert
menting.
