Clearwater Herald.
There is nothing queer about the
course pursued by the Free Press.
The editor and publisher Of the Free
Press is a democrat. He has been a
democrat for more than 20 years, he
has also been a loyal friend of the
publisher Of the U n O n for the same
length of time, and he was one Of
10000 democrats who voted for r. G..
Dunn two years ago. N. P. Olson,
editor and publisher of the Anoka
Free Press, is a square man.

One Of the very best members who
served in the last legislature was Hon.
Burdett Thayer of Spring Valley,
Fillmore county, and we are glad to
notice that he will be q candidate for
reelection. Mr.. Thayer was one OF
the few really good debaters in the
house, and he advocated and cham
pioned several important measures.
His bill for safeguarding the election
OF delegates to county and state con-
ventions was by all odds the best OF
the many primary election bills
offered at the last session, and it
should have become a law. The
rich and populous counties of south
ern Minnesota should send more
Burdett Thayers to the legislature.

DR.. Brouardel of Paris, who has
for thirty years made a study OF
tuberculosis, says that consumptives
may be cured by living in an atmos-
phere impregnated with lime dust.
He asserts that throughout the whole
period of his practice he has not seen
single workman at the lime kilns
attacked with this disease, but that
many who were affected had beer
cured within a short period after tax.
ing up lime-burning as an occupation.
To impregnate the atmosphere of a
room with lime dust and test the re.
suits of such treatment would be easy
of accomplishment.

THE NEW INDUSTRY.

We have been asked whether an al
cohol distillery would pay in Prince
ton-a distillery for the production of
the denatured brand in accordance
with the recently enacted law which
goes into effect in January, 1907. We
have also been requested to advocate
the establishment of such an industry.
The question of whether an alcohol
distillery would pay in Princeton
could not be satisfactorily answered
without securing a large amount of
data, and the work connected there
with would require much time. We
would have to ascertain an estimate
of the amount OF material which could
be procured for such factory, the cost
of building a plant Of sufficient size to
handle the product, the expense of
manufacture, etc.
There exists, however, not the reno
est doubt that if the manufacture of
denatured alcohol can be remunera-
lively accomplished anywhere it can
be so done in Princeton-the center of
the great potato belt of the northwest.
POtatOeS we are told nv eynartc
will produce alcohol when frozen, half
rotten, scabby, or in a condition unfit
for any other purpose except starch
manufacture, and it is estimated that
the quantity of spoiled potatoes thrown
away and left undug in this vicinity
every year would bring to the farmers
hundreds of dollars if converted into
alcohol. Then again there are corn
stalks and many other products of the
farm which may be utilized for the
manufacture of alcohol.
Detailed information will in due
course of time be published by the
government setting forth the require
ments necessary to the esta adjustment
of alcohol distilleries, and the Union
will endeavor to keep it's readers
posted thereon.

Old Russell Sage is dead. He at
tanned the age of ninety years and
money had been his god from the time
he could read the inscription on a
copper cent until he was called below.
His fortune is estimated at $500, OOO,-
900. He devoted the whole of his
life time to the accumulation of gold.
He charged usurious interest wherever
an opportunity was, afforded and per-
secuted the poor man unfortunate
enough to get into his clutches. He
foreclosed a mortgage on his nephew's
little home and turned the young man
and his family into the street because.
in consequence Of sickness, the nephew
was unable to meet the exorbitant in
terest demanded upon an insignificant
loan Of $500. Sage was a veritable
money shark, a constituencies blood
sucker,-but it takes the pen of a
Brann to do justice to his memory.

It has now been satisfactorily dem
onstrated that paper, ranging in
grade from the highest to the lowest
quality, can be manufactured from
cotton stalks, and southern fnanciers
are contemplating the erection of
large plants for the utilization of
this product, which now goes to waste.
The country needs something of this
sort to check the present increasing
cost of paper which is becoming such a
burden to publishers.

Alfred Henry Lewis, a writer of
some note, says that MIR. Roosevelt
has no voice whatsoever in the ques-

serve the people of the United States

that, should the people want him, he
could be compelled to administer the
Office. It is evident that Mr.. Lewis is
not familiar with the characteristics
of Mr.. Roosevelt.

The Irish Standard is. to saw til

The Irish Standard is, to say the
least, consistent in it's opposition to
an Endorsement by the democrats of
the candidacy Of E. A. Young for at
torney general. The Standard puts
it's protest this way: 1.-The wiling
ness of some of the democratic leaders
to indorse Mr.. Young must arise
from their desire to benefit Governor
johnson in his next race. They rea-
son that there is no chance of electing
a democratic attorney general any
how, and that the Endorsement by
them of Attorney General Young
might secure for the support of the
governor some of the attorney gener-
ais friends, and also give the public
to understand that the governor is in
favor of supporting republican officials
where they have proven efficient. The
same reasoning applies to other can
didates on the republican ticket.
There are other good men on the re-
publican state ticket running for office
besides the attorney general, and
there is no more chance of the demo-
Gratis defeating those other men than
there is of defeating Attorney General
Young. Why would it not be good
scheme to indorse the whole republi-
can state ticket, except the candidate
for governor, and make the issue this
fall open and above board: a contest
pure and simple between the two can
didates for governors

Candidate For Register of Deeds,

MICHAEL ANGELO,
The Humble Start In Life OF the Fn-
Master.


Two boys were herdng swine in
Italy. They were evidently discussing
some very important subject, for they
were earnest at it. A man approach
ed. and the boys separated, each for
his own side of the pasture. The man
was angry and was shaking bis hand
at them The boys said nothing: they
drove their swine in and were quiet as
mouse about it. The man had said
they should stay out until dark, and
the sun had not even set yet. After
they had driven the swine to their re-
spective places each crept to his room,
took his clothes and tied them in a
bundle. This done, they both crept
down and ran to the road which led
to Rome. Ones name was Peter; the
other Michael Angelo. Both were poor
boys. They tramped and trampcd, and
the first thing they did when they
reached Rome was to 20 to church
After they had rested and prayed they
looked for employment. Peter received
employment as the cooks boy in some
cardinals house, but Michael could
find nothing to do, so he almost de-

He went to his friend Peter, who
gave him something to eat and at
night secretly let him into his room in

friend do this and Michael content
also. Michael when In church had seen
some fine pictures. One which fasci-
mated him was Christ Ascending to
Heaven" Taking bits of charcoal. he
went to Peters room and drew pic
lures on the white walls. One day the
cardinal had occasion to go to the
room. Michael had meanwhile secured
employment in the cardinals kitchen.
The cardinal, upon seeing all the pic
lures, was dumfounded with their
accurateness. He called Peter and
Michael upstairs and asked who had
had, but said he thought he could rub
them out again. The cardinal explain
ed to him that 1t was all right so far
as the wall was concerned. He took
Michael and sent him to a drawing
master and gave Peter a better posi-
ton. And Michael worked hard at his
drawings, learned diligently and be-

time.

Spinach has great aperlent qualities

Sea Salt.

1t seems that the sea was made salt
In the beginning as part of the grand
design of the Creator to provide for
the system of evolution which has been
going on since the creation. Many dis
tinct species of living organisms exist
in the sea as a result of its salnity,
and their remains have largely contrib
uted to the growth of continents. The
three great factors in accounting for
the system of currents in the ocean
by which it becomes the great heat dis
tributer of the globe are changes Of
temperature, the winds and salnity.
The last mentioned becomes an i'm
portant factor through the immediate
and essential differences of specific
gravity and consequent differences of
level that it produces in different parts
of the ocean through the action of
evaporation and rainfall.
