Your reporter understands that Prof.
Smith, the principal, has decided to
cut out all that flow of gush and

pieces of former speakers. The public
will hear very little of that in the flu

the authorities know that Negroes APP

THE NASHVILLE BRAND.

"The Nashville Brand to mistake

THE CAMPAIGN OPENS.

Nineteen months until the election
of a President, but the campaign is on
with a vengeance. The storm centre
in the republican party at present is
Ohio. 1t is in this state that the fate
Of Roosevelt's candidate is to be de-
cided. Mr.. Taft's candidacy was
launched from the White House last
week with a five million dollar con-
spiracy to down the Rooseveltian poll
cies, for the accompanying pyrotech-
MICS. This is followed by an interview
from the Presidents son-in-law en-
dorsing the big breezy Secretary of
War. Senator Foraker, who repre-
sents the opposition to the President
naming his successor, explicitly ex-
planned his position Wednesday. Ohio
is under the glare Of the calcium lights
with special spot lights for Foraker
and Taft, and, since the former has
made such a fight for the boys of the
Twenty-ffth, the outcome will be
awaited with interest by Negroes
throughout the country.

ATTENTION FARMERS

We have come to the conclusion
that in order to interest the producer
of cream in the proper care of same,
so as to enable us to make the best
of butter from same, it would natur-
ally seem only fair that the patron
who delivers his cream to the cream
cry in good condition during the year
should be rewarded in some way.
We have been confusing our brain
for some time trying to solve this
problem, and have come to the con-
clusion that simple recognition of
the good work done by some was
hardly ample, and. some reward of
merit would not be out of place. Con-
sequently we have decided to give to
all our patrons, and those wishing to
become same by June 18th, set of
triple plated silver knives and
forks, Rogers make, to every patron
delivering good cream at our plant in
|Sauk Centre no less than twice a
week and not later than two o'clock
on day of delivery. We specify the
time for the reason that onyone knows
we must have time to properly prepare
our cream for the churn next morning,
in order that the best results can be
obtained. 1t is to be hoped that all
our patrons carry away one of these
elegant prizes Nov. 1st. Our guaran-
tee on same, $4,000 in gold if not as
advertised. A sample of the prizes to
be given can be seen by calling at our
Office. Yours for success,

EDWARD SMITH DEAD
Well Known Citizen of Sauk Gen.
tire Called Away After Long
And Useful Life

Died, on Friday evening, May "a,
1907, Edward Smith of Sauk Centre
Nearly two years ago Mr.. Smith suf-
fered stroke of apoplexy which in
| capaciated him for any kind of work
and which affected his mental powers.
His splendid constitution, enabled
him to rally. and while he never re-
gained his full powers he was able to
go about
A week ago another attack seized
him and although he was not confined
to his bed his loved ones knew he was
failing. Early Friday morning. May
"a, he had the third and very severe
stroke which completely paralyzed one
side. He never regained conscious
ness. and died at nine o'clock Friday
evening.
Edward Smith was born in Water
town, Jefferson county, N. Y, Novem-
Der 6, 1884 at which place he received
his education. When he grew to man
hood he engaged in farming and lum-
bering. For about ten years prior to
his coming to Minnesota he was cap
tain of a steamboat on the Hudson
river and Erie canal. He came to
stead one and a half miles east of
Sauk Centre, and here he lived with
his wife, Anna M. Hewitt, to whom he
was married in 1862. Ten years later
he bought fine farm in West Union,
built comfortable buildings, and moved
his family there. For sixteen years
he was a successful farmer, and
highly respected citizen of West Union
township. His estimable wife, with
her cordial, hospitable disposition,
made his home a happy one, where
neighbors and friends delighted to
gather, and where Sank Center friencs
often enjoyed visiting.
In 1892 Mr.. Smith decided that his
active, hard working life, had earned
for him the right to take things lit
tie easier, so he sold his West
Union farm and removed to Sauk Cen
tire. buying what old settlers remember
as the Oakford home, in the Brooklyn
suburbs, with ten acres of land. Here
he lived the life of a retired farmer
his garden giving him all the exercise
ne needed. Mr.. Smith for 25 years
was a member of a schoolboard. For
several years he was town supervisor.
He served one term as alderman and
for eight years he was county commits
sioner.
Mr. Smith was prominent Mason,
and that body took charge of the
funeral services which were held
from the home of his daughter, Mrs.
V. NJ Thomason, on Monday after
noon. Rev. F. H. Oehler, his pastor,
offered prayer and made some approp-
riate remarks from the text, 81 am

Interment was in Greenwood ceme-
terry, where the Masons conducted
the service. Mr. Smith leaves a
widow, one daughter, Mrs. " M.
Thomason, and two grand daughters,
Misses Laura and Jessie Thomason.
He also leaves three brothers, all resi-
dents of New York State.

Arab StoIcism.


Arab fatalism, which is at the root
OF his stole impassiveness, though
much talked Of, is but little under
stood In its almost superhuman irwin
cibility. This is brought into strong
relief by the history attaching to a re-
cent addition to the treasures of the
Louvre museum. It is a human skele-
ton-a skeleton with a history. 1t is
the disembodied framework of man.
an Arab and an assassin. In the flesh
he was Suleiman ell Aleby, and his
hand it was that murdered Kleber, the
commander OF the French revolution
airy army in Egypt. For this crime he
was condemned by a French court
martial to have his right hand burned
on, to be impaled and exposed to birds
Of prey, and to have his body reduced
to a skeleton. The burning OF Of his
hand Suleiman bore without a groan
or even a vince. but toward the end
OF the dire ordeal the executioner hap
pened to touch another part Of his
arm with the redhot iron. This pun

state Riohts or Capitalization.

The Hamlltonian theory that all
good government can but proceed
from centralized power at Washing
ton has been thoroughly imbibed by
President Roosevelt. In his last mes
sage to congress he said: 1T cannot
be too often repeated that experience
has conclusively shown the impossi-
bility of securing by the action OF
nearly half hundred different state
legislatures anything but ineffective
chaos in the way of dealing with the
great corporations which do not oper-
ate exclusively within the limits OF
anv one state.s Yet the fact that IA
states have brought the railroads to
time by fixing either two-cent or 27s-
cent passenger rates, entirely demol-
ishes the presidents Hamiltonian the
ory that he is the only reformer that
does things aided by an unwilling
Republican majority Of congress.
No one can show one cent saved
from corporation plundering through
any action of the president or con-
gress; but there is the fact that the
legislature of Ohio reduced passenger
rates one-third, to two cents a mile,
and that rate appears to give satisfac-
ton to the people and the railroads
submit to it. so it must be reasonable.
Other states have made similar re-
ductions and either by direct law. or
through their railroad commissions,
have reduced freight rates also. II
that is ineffective chaos in the way
of dealing with the great corpora
tions." the people no doubt wish the
president and congress would do
something in the same chaotic way.
The further fact that the railroad
presidents are united in urging that
the president recommend congress to
take control of the interstate railroad
traffic and thus prevent the reforms
the states are enacting, is another evi-
dence of the advantage of the reserv-
ed rights Of the states and their much
more effective and quicker way Of OBJ
tanning relief from corporation injus-
tice than the corporation-controlled
national government.
The Democratic doctrine Of home
rule has thus again proven its greater
power TO relieve the people from in.
Justice than the combined and cen
tralized power Of Republican presi.
