United States, and in this connec-
ton it can be stated that the new
Christian church of Redwood Falls,
is built out of concrete blocks manu-
featured from crushed rock from
the New Ulm quarries. The large
cities are using this product as a
foundation for the asphalt paved
streets, and the demand is bound to
grow greater with each recurring
year, SO that the investors are bound
to realize on their investments for
years to come. The plant at New
Ulm paid a IL per cent. dividend the
first year. New machinery was put
in, and the second year bids fair to
return much larger profit on the
investment Of the stockholders.
Here, where the stone can be Sc
cured in the heart of the city, and
where railroad facilities can easily
be obtained, there is no doubt but
what a stock company would find
the stone crushing business profit
able investment. Let some one take
hold Of the enterprise and make a
winner of 1t.
There is one other enterprise
which can be considered in connec-
ton with the crushed rock affair.
Next year and succeeding years,
there will be a general demand for
farm tile all over this section of the
state. An investigation of the clay
soil in this neighborhood will I'M
doubtedly prove conclusively that it
will make an excellent tile and that
sufficient tile can be made here to
supply the demand that will COM
mence with next spring and con-
tinue for an indefinite period. These
are both money makers. Both will
furnish employment to number of
men, and there is no reason why
capitol should go begging when such
enterprises can be placed on foot
and return to their owners mag
nifcent interest on the capitol in
vested.

Former Well Known Citizen and Sheriff
of Redwood County Nearing
the End of Life.
A Sufferer from Infiammatory Rheuma-
tism for Years the Doctor
Gives up All Hope.

Mrs. Fred. L. Warner received a
telegram about noon Monday stat
ing that her father, Capt. Thos.
Mcmillan of Minneapolis, formerly
a resident of Redwood Falls, was
passing away as a result Of a severe
attack of infammatory rheumatism,
which has, in it's milder form, been
troubling Capt. Mcmillan for num-
Der of years past. Mrs. Warner
left on the Tuesday morning train
for the Mcmillan home at 2412 18th
avenue south, Minneapolis.
Capt. Mcmillan hasI been a rheu-
matte sufferer for number of
years. Long before he was made
commandant of the soldiers home
that was his only complaint, and
during all of his years as command
ant the trouble seemed to grow
upon him. Within the past few
months it assumed a serious shape
and the captain required constant at
tention. A week ago it was feared
that he could not recover, but he
had rallying spells, and some hope
was held out. During Sunday night
last his condition grew worse and the
family physician announced that the
end was near, and the children were
all notified.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
State Wide Reform.

A&
The organization of the Colby
movement in Morris county is now
formally under way. The movement
itself has been going on there for
months, and ii has now reached a
point where the forces concerned in
it have come together and have plan
ned for a unification of their efforts.
The meeting at Dover last night was
a thoroughly representative one.
There was scarcely a section of the
county that did not send leading citi-
zens to participate in the proceed
ings. Messrs. Colby, Record and Glib
son repeated before the gathering
the principles they have enunciated
in other counties, and their platform
and their plans were received with
the same enthusiasm that marked
their presentation in Essex, in Hud-
son, in Passaic, in Union, in Bergen,
Camden and in Burlington. 1t was
their stand against boss rule that
evoked the greatest share of popular
approval last night, and on that prin-
ciple alone 1t is evident that they can
sweep Morris county, where machine
domination has been so pronounced
for years until it has attained pro-
portions that will no longer be en-
dured by the people.
The committee of twenty author
lied to perfect the organization in
Morris and to report at a massmeet-
ing to be held in Morristown next
week, will undoubtedly be a repre-
sentative body, for its members can
be picked from a large constituency
favorable to the new idea" in poll
itics. 1t may be expected to be the
peer of the Colby committees in the
other counties already organized.
There will be no excuse, when its
membership is known, for a charge
that the movement is being engineer
ed by sore-heads and ofiice-seekers,
and the regulars will be forced to
admit that it presages real reform.
The whole movement will alse be a
stunning rebuke to those representa-
tives in the legislature from Morris
county who showed by their course
at Trenton last winter their subserv-
iency to the machine.
There are other counties still clam
oring for the formal inauguration of
the same movement within their bor-
ders. The conditions in Middlesex
have already been set forth, so that
the public is well aware of the revolt
there against the machine. In Som
erset the unrest has already been
made manifest. Warren county Is
also ripe for invasion, and, most re-
markable of all, word m from
Cumberland, the home of Governor
Stokes, that the Colby idea is sweep
ing that county. Reform policies are
being welcomed all over New Jersey,
without regard to locality. No one
who is watching the signs of the
times will now assert that the move
ment is not OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

8. An act requiring sheriffs to Sc
lect grand and petit juries by lot from
the entire qualified citizenship of the
county with discretionary power in
the court to reject jurors.
10. A law permitting an munich

to make a water supply contract
with any other municipality within
reasonable distance of it's water sup

IL. A law making municipal cleo

ors of the articles are entitled to

There are rumors abroad that a
remonstrance, sufficient to kill the
Smith street paving, from State

been filed. This is to be regretted
ii true, but the improvement should
not be delayed any longer than pos

~thoroughfare used by hundreds of
vehicles and thousands of people,
both strangers and citizens, every
day, is in a shameful condition and
is a burning disgrace to the city. 1t
should be put in repair at any cost.

should be found to accomplish it. If
there is to be a legal fight. let's lay

A WORTHY EXAMPLE.

The citizens of the borough Of
Roosevelt are to be CONGRATULATED
~npentbe wise decision ia~the manner
OF electing fhsfr borough officers.
Men Of all parties and factions have
assembled and have agreed upon one
ticket. This harmonious beginning
speaks we'll for the new borough, it
shows that the people have the well
fare of their town at heart and there
will be no scramble for offices.
Having begun in this manner, the
borough would do well to consider
deeply before it departs from the Gus
tom. 1t is well enough to be divided
on national or state issues, where
there Is really a difference, but in a
city or borough the sole object in
view should be to advance the inter
ests of the place. Politics have no
place in local government. A mayor
or alderman should not be chosen be-
cause he is republican or democratic,
but because he is the best man for
the place and will advance the city's
interests.
Roosevelt has set a worthy exam
pie and other boroughs and cities
would do well to follow. When cleo
ton time comes around, get together
in an old fashioned New England
town meeting. call Il mass meeting of
citizens, name a ticket that will be a
credit to the place and everybody
work in harmony. All Honor to
Roosevelt for its progressiveness.

-w HE social life of America is attractive to the English visitor
because of its similarity to his own. He does not feel a
stranger. Social intercourse there is charmingy vivacious
and is made intensely interesting by the REMARKABLE
CONVERSATIONAL POWERS OF AMERICANS
of both sexes. Perhaps it is safe to assert that a dinner party IN Lon
don possibly canabe dull; a dull dinner party in Washington,i us UNI
l~thmkabt. The hospitality of Americans long has been well known;
1t is distinguished not so much by its profusion as by the delightful
courtesy shown in taking trouble, usually a good deal of trouble, to
make the visitors time pass pleasantly.
Recent Commentators on American affairs have noticed the adj
vance-IF 1T BE ADVANTAGEOUS arstocratc eondiEl9hs in
the country. The evidence of this is multform. The increasAg@go p,
geousness of servants iveries has been specially pointed out as a symps2
tom. Buttonholess of dress coats and photographs of eminsHtssoMSe
in uniform show that decorations have begun to appear. Prscedehcs
has become an important, EVEN A SERIOUS, question. Only a
few weeks ago it was gravely discussed in a leading article in an inhu-
entail Washington newspaper, the writer holding that it was a tit sub
iect for legislation BY congress- He ingenously suggested that the
Legislation might take the form of fixing the order in which different
persons should march in professions, such as are found at the 1naugu-
ration Of a president. Officials proceeding to or departing from a rail
way station now not infrequently are escorted by a detachment Of
cavalry.
1t is a curious fact that ARISTOCRACY RISES IN REPUB-
Lies AND DECLINES IN MONARCHIES. The eupetrias in
Athens, the optmates in republican Rome, had much more influence
than a duke has in monarchical Italy or a grandee in monarchical
Spain. The truth is that there has been ALWAYS a strong ARlS-
element in American society. The seventeenth century
gubernatoral families of Massachusetts like the Winthrops and the
Endicotts, can claim a nobiias, which, because of the antiquity of the
first curule office, might have been envied by the Licinii or PORCH in
the Rome of Cicero. Some, but by no means all, Of the Dutch families
in New York are hereditary arHtocrats.
The aristocratc sentiment never really has died out in the south.
as he has been by the civil war, the Virginia gentleman
through whose veins runs some of the buest of English blood still has
a vivid recollection of the days when his ancestors maintained a state
parallel to that of many a great European noble.
FAMILY PRIDE is PROBABLY GREATER NOW IN THE UNITED
STATES THAN EVER 1T WAS AND IS NOT RESENTED BY THE CON-
MUNITY AT LARGE. 1T IS INTERESTING TO REMEMBER THAT THE
HOLDER OF A BRITISH PEERAGE WAS ONCE ELECTED SPEAKER OF
THE CALIFORNIA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
