Double of a Senator,

Fred Ireland of Detroit, an official
stenographer OF the house of repre-
sentatives in Washington, is almost
the exact double of Senator William
Alden Smith OF the same state. Even
in Detroit. where both are well
known, Mr. Smith is often spoken to
for Mr.. Ireland, and vice versa.
Speaker Cannon once rode in the
same seat from Paris, ILL.,, to Chicago
with Ireland, whom he has known
many years, and called him William
Alden" all the way.

Don't Get Excited

Bro. Bronson of the Osakis Re-
view became unduly excited over
the paragraph, reproduced in The
Herald from a Twin city paper,
relative to an alleged confab of
republican politicians at Osakis said
to have been held for the purpose of
selecting candidate for governor
next year. The Herald printed the
matter as political gossip and let it
90 at that. The Review says it's
an ''infernal lie" and things of that
kind, and improves the opportunity
to read The Herald a lecture,
affirming that it's publisher does not
know where he is cat" Bro.
Bronson is a sincere, honest and
enthusiastic republican who pub
fishes a first class newspaper and,
by the grace of Knute Nelson, holds
down the Osakis postoffice. The
very fact that he rushes into print
in a defense of his patron shows
that he knows where he is sat" at
least so far as keeping his job of
postmaster. The publisher of The
Herald never sought political pre-
ferment, is not now doing so, and
never expects to. He is free to
express his opinion untrammeled
by fears of punishment by any
political boss. The fact remains
that a small coterie of Office holders
has ruled the republican party in
Minnesota for years and is now
plotting for another campaign, and
some of the men named in The
Herald's paragraph which sent Bro.
Bronson up into the air are in it.
Adler men than The Herald
publisher have made the same
assertion, and if the publisher of
the excellent Osakis Review were
not blinded by partisanship or
hampered by federal office he would
assent to the proposition.

The talk of Congressman Lind
bergh as gubernatorial possibility
is complimentary but the sixth
district does not want to lose such
fine congressional timber. Mr..
Lindbergh is made of the right
stuff and while he has always been a
republican yet he is sufficiently in
dependent to refuse to be bound by
the dictum of professional politicians
and to stand for what he believes to
be right regardless of party dicta-
ton. The sixth district is fortunate
in securing such man to represent
it at Washington. The Herald
looks for him to "make good" all
along the line.

HEARD ABOUT TOWN

There are several ways OF getting
ducks. At least that's what the boys
say; those boys, l mean, who are
next" to the latest method of gather
ing in the hat-bllled, web-footed
feathered game. A quintet went out
to try their luck one day last week.
They are all famous shots; if you don't
believe it why, just ask any one of the
bunch; he'll tell you they are. One of
them, especially, prides himself on
being pretty good shot. He'll tell
you so. And more than that, he does
not quite like to have any doubt cast
upon his ability to bring down the
game. We'll, this sporty five hied
themselves to good duck pass. There
they discove. ed nice bunch in little
pond. They all blazed away and half
a dozen birds dropped dead and the
dog got them. One nervy teal, how
ever, slightly wounded, refused to
bulge and swan around in the pond a
bit before taking its departure.
Suddenly it rose and sailed right
through the air in the immediate
vicinity of the best marksman in the
bunch. He turned and blazed away,
firing two shots, but the bird kept
right on, evidently not having been
touched. The teal was scared, how
ever, for it flew slam bang into a
poplar tree and fell dead, the force OF
the impact breaking its neck. Then
the laugh was on my fragile friend
who really considered himself the best
marksman in the bunch. The others
everlastingly ''joshed" him. When
ever birds hove in sight the other
fellows would point to grove and tell
him to HE him over there where the
birds could commit suicide by Slam
ming their bodies against tree. They
kept it up all day and even now they
ask the victim if he likes to hunt in

things Monday morning by springing

There's lie" order IL town. It's
known as the "Neyer Sweat" society
The principles OF the organization are
expressed in its name. The member
caught exuding perspiration is fined
% cents for each offense. In order to
escape a fine it becomes absolutely
necessary for the members to avoid
any and every kind OF toll; even
brain work is prohibited. One or two
of the charter mem bers have had a
perilonsly narrow escape from being
fined. They say they will not offend
in the future. The new order is very
popular among certain people. 1t is a

Funny what queer ideas some folks
have about the function of a news
paper. The church people haven't
any time for the sporting column; the
hot sports elevate their probosces at
any mention Of affairs religious; the
business man hasn't much use for the
society column; and the ladies, God
bless 'em, think an account of a pink
tea or Woman's Club function is the
only blown-in-the-bottle, genuine
news item. Why, the other day a we'll
known merchant of Sank Centre said
to me: "Say, do you know l think
that Personal Paragraphs column
is the biggest kind of rot. What in
thunder does Welles print it for?"

their names in the paper he pooh
poohed at great rate, but before 1
left his store he asked if 1 couldn't get

the locals and pitched good ball, strik-

support. He was forced to retire in the
seventh to right field, on account of an
injury to his limb somewhat over a
week ago. He was supplanted by MUIR

remainder of the game. He struck out
three men. Fink, formerly of Canton,
Ohio, was the star player of the game.
The visitors seemed to be afraid of
him as they let him walk after his first
time at bat. Paul seemed to be off in
every respect, as he did not cover the
home plate with his usual agility and
was only able to cut off one man at sec

played their usual game and the con-
test was lost by their not being able to
place the ball when at bat.

Knightstown, Ind, Sept. 23.-Unless
the financial difficulties of the city
electric light plant and the water plant
are speedily adjusted some of the coun-
cilmen will be glad when their terms
end and will not likely seek reelection.
The financial troubles of the two plants
have been the cause of vigorous conten-
ton for several weeks and some of the
councilmen have been the target of
much criticism.
1t is obligatory upon the city to de-
crease the expenses Of the two plants
ana at the same time to increase the
income from them, which for some
time has been running low. Officials
having the electric lighting plant in
charge report that it has been running
steadily behind during the fiscal year
and that something must be done to
keep it in operation. There is at pres
ent not adequate power for the dyna-
mos and a new engine is needed.
Those who originally favored munic-
ipal ownership, fixed the rates too low
to please the citizens and it is now
found that they are so low that an ad-
ditional rate in the form of taxes is
being taken from the people. The
present council. owing to the plants
financial difficulties, has had much
trouble keeping them going and only
by liberal loans from the city's general
fund, have they been able to do so. AS
this takes money needed for other pur-
poses there is much complaint and the
councilmen have a problem on their
hands.
