Despite the fact that E. E. Mcleod,
chairman of the Western Passenger
association, in an address to the
travelling men at Albert Lea, told them
that a reduction of rates was highly
improbable, Governor John, in TIE
bombastic manner characteristic of
him, assured the drummers that
within a year two-cent per mile flat
rate would prevail in Minnesota.
From this it is readily inferred that
Governor John feels cocksure of an
other term in Office and anticipates
the accumulation of sufficient power to
control the railroads of the state. AS
a fountain of buncombe and presump-
tion the jollying John is impossible of
duplication.

Indications of Long Life.

In the medical world it is a gen
orally accepted fact that every person
bears physical indications of his
prospects of long life. A long lived
person may be distinguished from
short lived person at sight. In many
instances a physician may look at the
hand of patient and tell whether he
will live or die.
The primary conditions of longevity
are that the heart, lungs and diges-
tive organs, as we'll as the brain
should be large. If these organs are
large the trunk will be long and the
limbs short. The person will appear
tall in sitting and short in standing.
The hand will have a long and some
what heavy palm and short finger.
To live long drink golden grain belt
beer. Its purity and health giving
qualities make it food which should
be on every table. Order of your
nearest dealer or be supplied by

We note that the press dispatches
announcing the social events which
will be pulled off in London upon the
occasion of the Longworths' visit
assign to our. esteemed Nick only a
secondary position. It is ''Mrs. Alice
Longworth and husband" who will be
entertained at the gorgeous receptions
given, and not the Hon. and Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth. "The Whitelaw
Reids," says a dispatch, twill give a
reception for King Edward. and Mrs.
Alice Longworth will sit at the mon
arch's left hand" No mention what
ever is made of our Nick. But, from
knowledge we have acquired concern
ing similar functions, we'll bet that
Nick, fguratively speaking, will be a
nine spot at that festal board. Mrs.
Longworth will, through courtesy,
rank as a princess and Nick as a
member of parliament without title.

President Roosevelt, in letter to

Reynolds is abundantly justified by
the facts therein. contained when COM

that diseased cattle have been con-

Some time ago an officer of the A

Some time ago an officer of the As
sociated Charities of MINNEAPOLIS
made an unwarranted attack upon the
Salvation army, declaring that the
army conducted it's affairs in a hap
hazard manner and kept an inaccur-
ate account of it's receipts and expend-
lures. The army rightfully denied
this allegation, and has now made
public it's financial statement, which
sets forth in detail every cent received
and the manner of it's. disbursement.
In other words, the Salvation Army
has made good. We have always
taken great interest in the Salvation
Army and believed in it's usefulness.
Ills true that there are many people
who do not believe in it's peculiar
form of religious exercises, but the
good resulting therefrom is sufficient
excuse for the method pursued. The
Salvation Army reaches the jewellers
of the slums: the poverty stricken, the
criminals the scum of the earth; it
not alone administers to them spirit
ually, but finds them work, feeds
them, furnishes medicine and nurses
them. It makes better men and
women of them. The soldiers of the
army go into the pestilential novels
where members of the select churches
would fear to tread. Let us praise,
instead of condemn: the Salvation
Army. .-.-.

Minneapolis has obtained such I'M
enviable notoriety that even the rail.
road companies are beginning to ig-'

has omitted to state upon it's folder
that it's night train even touches Min

does not appear in this connection
while St. Paul looms up in bold-face
type. And even worse rap than this
is the fact that the Burlington recently
advertised that the Grand Army en-

Henry Watterson of the Louisville
Courier Journal has declared himself
for Bryan and will support him in the
presidential campaign of 1908. It will
be remembered that in the contest of
1896 Colonel Watterson fought the
free-silverite tooth and nail Jumped
upon him and assisted to the best of
his ability in choking off his (Bry-
an's) wind. But it was in reality not
Bryan in personam that Watterson
fought, it was Bryan''s crank ideas
on silver. Now things have changed.
Bryam. has declared himself to be a
conservative democrat and Watterson
has fallen upon his neck and wept.
Conservative democrat! Bryan is as
much "a free-silverite now as he ever
was, but realizes that the democratic
nomination would be an impossibility
without changing, ostensibly, his faith.
Like his Minnesota supporter, Cover
nor John, Bryan is cunning.
