Kansas City Times: "Do they have
the block system on this railroad?"
"Yes, every time train is wrecked it
blocks the line "
Duluth News Tribune: There is one
good thing about schools and colleges.
The boys attending them frequently by
the medium OF we'll considered kicks
and cuffs make man out OF ali un-
promising young snob.
Annandale Advocate; Some people
think that they can legislate morality
and prosperity into existence, but that
is all a mistake. You cannot change
the nature of a man by legislative act
nor can you bring wealth to the work
ing man unless he earns it.
Brainerd Tribune: The creamery
idea appears to be spreading in north
ern Minnesota The Warren Sheaf
notes the organization of number of
new creamery associations and declares
that Gin a few years the Red River
valley will be as noted for it's butter as
It is for wheat"
St. Paul Farmer: We believe in CIV
ing the home merchant chance to- do
business, but both the farmer and the
merchant should realize that their in
terests are mutual and the ultimate OBJ
ject is to build up the entire comtnur-
ity, not the town at expense of the
country or the country at the expense
of the town.
Dawson Sentinel: The Minnesota
Mascot says the county option measure
which the senate killed was measure
very much desired by the. farmers. So
it was, but it was also desired by thous-
ands Of the best and most influential
business men Of the smaller towns and
villages of the state. The larger cities
and the beer and whisky trusts did not
want it, and it seems the senate didn't.
Faribault Republican: The letter of
our observing legislative correspondent
furnishes an idea of the great mass of
bills that has been run into the legisla-
tive hopper to be ground out into the
statutes or consigned to the junk heap.
The idea that the session, should be
lenghthened or made aDDUal to accom-
m0date the rush is absurd. There is
plenty of time for all the legislation
that ought to be enacted. ..#
Redwood Gazette: OF one thousand
and niDety-three mining companies in
corporated at Seattle, but one of them
has ever paid dollar of dividends. ac-
cording to the statement of the Daily
Star of that city. This is perhaps as
good as mining stocks in general are
averaging, and the moral is, don't buy
mining stocks at any price when you
can find plenty of good Minnesota val
ley land going at less than $50 an acre.
Lanesboro Leader: The al republi-
cans in Congress who held out against
the ship subsidy bill are on the. roll of
honor, and it is pleasing to note that
four congressman from Minnesota are
among them. 1t would have been
still more pleasing to the people of the
First Congressional District, if James
A Tawney had been among these fOnr.
But he was on the wrong side Of the
fence.
Owatonna Journal Chronicle: Will
liam GauseWitZ, who with two other
we'll known residents, John Smith and
+. A, Durham, went to Texas looking
over the country, is not very enthusi.
astic over the state and considers that
most of the talk about the country is
caused to keep up the present boom and
to get people to come into the state.
Review of Reviews: Twenty-Five
years ago education was forced upon a
pupil by breathing-in process that
crammed and expanded him; today the
school is social institution, and un-
folds from within the spiritual life of
the pupil. In school and out we seek
to establish the principle that no one
can live unto himself alone. The
greatest need in life today is a spirit of
helpfulness, and in the school room it
should find root. The child is by ma
ture help seeker and the tendency is
worthy Of being unfolded not pruned.
Minneapolis journal: If you won
der why the robin that built in the old
tree beside the house does not come
back this year, it may be Of interest to
read that in central Tennessee are
large tracts Of cedars, the berries Of
which serve to attract myraids of robins
lin the winter. One small hamlet in
that region sends to market annually
enough robins to return $500 at. 5 cents
Ia dozen, equal to 1OO, COO birds. They
are killed at night by torch light with
lsticks. Even the robins are sacrificed
