Albert Lea Times-Enterprise: The
roads in Freeborn county would be
a whole lot better after these spring
rains if they were gone over with
a split log drag.
Winthrop News: When: young
man stops taking his girl to the
theatre and goes to church it's dol
lars to doughnuts they are engaged.
Faribault Republican,: The local
cab and bus men who do gooo
business during the commencement
season in transferring passengers
from the railroad stations to the
Shattuck school and back, met with
a new competition this year: ABOUT
half a dozen automobiles from the
Twin City Transit company's gar
age were on hand to carry the guests
of the school at half OF the custom
ary rate. -
St. Paul Dispatch: The flaw in
the arguments of James A. Tawney
and those reactionary politicians who
have taken up the cry of states
rights, to defeat federal control OF
great corporations, is that they DO
not consider the question on it's mer-
it's, but make fetch of the words
of the constitution. They concern
themselves solely with what was
meant by the language used 12O
years ago, at the time it was uttered
refusing to regard the instrument as
in the least expansive or capable OF
construction to fit modern conditions.
Chatfeld News Democrat: A re-
cent ruling by the state supreme
court decided that the attorney gen.
eral is empowered to start action to
remove any official or any municipal
ity which does not enforce the state
Sunday closing law. Under this rul-
ing it makes no difference whether
the laws of a municipality allow sa-
.. looms to remain open; there is a
state law against it, and the state
law is held to possess jurisdiction
in the matter.
St. Cloud Journal Press: The
good teacher, often underpaid and
more often misunderstood, is per-
forming a most important part in
the upbuilding and preservation OF
the republic. Universal suffrage de-
! mands universal understanding, and
this must come through the educa-
ton along broad lines of each new
generation. And for this work there
is no substitute for the teacher OF
the public schools.
Clara City Herald: The scheme
the Minenapolis merchants tried
some time ago by offering free rail-
road fare to the people from the
country living distance OF lou
miles or less proved a fiat failure as
but very few of the country people
bit on the proposition. Those Mime
apolis merchants will probably not
try the scheme again.
Pipestone Star: The Milwaukee
railroad company has been operating
one of it's grade-leveling machines
through Pipestone today. The con-
. trivance is huge ploW, mounted on
a heavily weighted car. AS it passes
along the track it trims off the
ground on both sides, giving it a
slight slope away from the track
This gives drainage and will keep
the roadbed dry. It takes two and
sometimes three locomotives to run
the grade-leveler. The work now
being done is said to be preliminary
to the graveling of the milwaukee,
roadbed through this vicinity.
Hokah Chief: But very few farm
ers have their work more convenient
ly arranged for and done than John
Geiwitz, of the German ridge. John
has a three horse gasoline engine
installed in a building on his farm
and this engine, he says, is the
busiest man" on the place. The
engine is used to run the separator
churn, feed mill, grind stone and
emery wheel, and to pump water and
saw wood and also comes in handy
on wash day for Mrs. Geiwitz, when
the power is attached to the wash
ing machine. Everything is made
! handy about the building, and much
hard labor done away with. JOhr
says no amount of money could buy
his engine if he couldn't secure an
other. g.

papers throughout the land are an
nouncing that Alive Roosevelt is ex

country printers were to print sucl

tors would have to spend the most o
the time roosting on telephone pole

;, Duluth Herald: 1t is the duty o
San Francisco to control it's roughs
! and to prevent them from giving oc

iinow being made in Japan by th
war-seeking jingoes. The sJapanes
