This is going to be a poor year for
skulling in the political undderbrush
The Primary law is no good as it
stands, but it brings lot of gum-shoe
politicians out in the open where they

1t is noteworthy characteristic
of President Roosevelt that he never
tells an impure story and that few
men ever dare tell one in his pres
ence., It is, in fact his proudest boast
THAT during his campaign in the Span
ish war no man at his mess ever told
a story before him which a woman
would blush to hear. -Lakota County
Observer. /

God and man as the circulation Of
books and pictures likely to debauch
