Republican national politics is be-
ginning to warm up in spots, by the
announcement of candidates in vari-
Gus states. Pennsylvania has endors-
ed Senator Knox; Ohio will likely
endorse Taft, Indiana, Fairbanks, IL
linois, Cannon, Wisconsin, LaFollette
New York, Hughes. and others will
surely follow.
The party is in rather a peculiar
position at this time. A great ma
jority want President Roosevelt to
accept another term. 1t is evident
that he is sincere in wishing to retire.
No other party leader appears to APP
peal very strongly to the party as a
whole, hence the opportunity for ia
vorite sons to seek and obtain endor-
sement of their own states is greater
today than for many years. It is a
situation the politician delights in.
Wherever there lisa strong political
organization in a state that state
will very likely have a candidate of its
own to hold the state delegation.
1t is possible that President Roose-
welt may bring the leaders together
upon some man other than himself
if he can succeed in keeping the body
of the party from renominating him
self. But this is very problematical,
both whether he can or will do it.
He NAV not care to make a pronoun-
ced choice among several men who
are his friends and earnest support
ers. And again it is possible that
the party will insist upon making its
own choice.
There have been conventions in the
party when the least expected hap
pened, notably those of 1876 and 1880
when Hayes and Garfield were NOM
mated, both the result of political
compromise among party leaders.

Tried Burning Ashes

Kimball Graphic. We're a fish all
right-and would like to catch an
other-via the burning ashes route,
Got everything all ixed-a gallon of
the compound all mixed to burn all
the ashes between here and h-h-Hal-
flax. It's yours for the asking.
Heard about that astute and learned
cobbler-chemist of Altoona, Penn,
didn't you, who discovered how to
burn ashes and make a hotter fire
than coal /? All you have to do is to
mix up a pound of salt, two ounces
of oxalic acid and a gallon of water.
Mix three parts ashes with one part
coal and moisten with the compound.
The newspapers said that the mix
ture would make a hotter fire than
clear coal and that every particle of
ashes would be consumed. So we
began work on the carload of ashes
in the back yard of this office.
The pile is there yet.
1t is likely to be for some time
unless the garbage man hauls it
awav.
We experimental in this office un-
til the devil began to shiver and
swear under his breath and the an
gel frosted the tips of her wings
then we quit. When we got through
we had more ashes by fifty per cent
than we started with and icicles
were hanging from the rim Of the
stove.
THE cobbler should stick to his
last" particularly the one at Altoo-
ma. His theory is all right; it's
beautiful. He simply got his wires
crossed in giving the secret of the
compound. Here's one that will
work.
One part kerosene.
One part gasoline.
Two parts turpentine.
Four parts rosin.
Two parts coal tar.
One part alcohol
Take one bucket of ashes and mix
with two tons of good coal and pour
over the ashes a barrel of the
compound. This will make a hot
fire and the ashes will not be hurt a
bit.

Watertown Public Opinion The
editor of the Sisseton Banner is get
ting talked about all over the state
lin fact, all over the northwest
because he has given his word that
he will hear after print the names Of
those Sisseton parties who may be
hauled before the local courts charg-
ed with violation of the law. Sisse-
ton. it appears, has been experienc
ing some social upheavels and some
of the best people" of the town
have been caught in places where
they ought not be. according to fas-
tidious notions. There isn't a news
paper in the land but what could
make the hair of the community
stand on end if it would print all it
hears, or even all that it knows. It
gets cussed right and left by some
people who, if the truth were known
or if the paper would print what it
knows about some of its detractors,
would be running for cover like
whipped ours. However, newspapers
should not become common gossips
leave that to old busy-bodies and
weak-minded men. But whenever a
case gets into court, or goes before a
public body for an airing, the subject
matter comes within the legitimate
sphere Of newspaper mention regard
lessof the local standing Of the parties
concerned.
