PARTY NAMES NO CRITERION.

Certain office-seekers are basing
their claims to office on the ground
that they have always been
straight" republicans. That is a
very weak recommendation in this
county at least, where an over
whelming part of the voters who
call themselves republicans have
time and again shown by their
votes that they place principle and
personal worth above party name.
When enc of these ''straight" re.
publicans approaches voter who
has thus scratched" his party
ticket and says: "You ought to
vote for me because [ have always
voted the ticket straight he says
in effect, without knowing it, 81
am a better man than you, for
vote without thinking.' The peo-
pie of this county are intelligent
enough to know that party name is
no index to mans character; that
a man who is a party slave will be
a slave Of the party bosses and place
their interests higher than those of
the people. The voters do their
own thinking and want servants
who will do the same. The "born
republican, is an anomaly in this
county nowadays. and the candi-
dates who run on that issue will do
we'll to drop it like hot potato
and get busy showing the people
their real qualifications for the
places they seek.

light, and now | had every reason
to thank my God for the blessings
and privileges | have received since
that day. Comparing the condi-
tions there now and q years ago,
we find the people are fifty per cent
better off, putting away old style
and taking up the new. Nearly
everybody lives we'll, and there are
very few needy ones and they are
we'll cared for here. We spent six
weeks here among the kindest peo-
pie that walk on earth. We
tramped over the hills and wales
! that were once my happy hunting
grounds when trouble and poverty
had no effect ON my peaceful mind.
We made trips to the lake Of Sill
jan, the Trossachs of Sweden,
stopped at Mora strand where Gus
tat Vasa cut great figure in the
history Of Sweden; we visited Fab
lun and took promenade thru the
copper mine to depth Of 800 feet.
We took the Lapland Express for
Get1e, where | saw many old school
mates. This was the end Of our
Tourney, and after bidding the last
farewell to many dear people, we
set our faces westward. This was
a moment not soon to be forgotten.
A few days more and we were
"enjoying' the misery Of the North
Sea. But the great Cunarder Lusi-
tania gave US a fast and pleasant
trip over the Atlantic in four days
and Is hours, the fastest trip known
to man. Arriving at New York,
we made a trip to our capital,
Washington. How good it felt to
be on American soil again. A few
days convinced US that the boy at
| the head of the nation is doing all
right. We took the train again,
and in few days reached Willmar,
where we found our boys safe and
sound. There we had a family
reunion, and in a few days will
leave for the Pacific coast, Eugene,
Oregon. Andrew Edblom.

men or more to ring it. Cologne
is also famous for the manufacture
Of the perfume known as Eau de
Cologne or Cologne water.
After visiting many German
cities we found ourselves at Ham
burg, the principal port Of CONT
mental Europe. This is very
clean city. We saw boys in uni
form picking up scraps and scrub
bling the streets with rubber mops.
These boys are paid Is cents day,
and yet the total outlay for this
work is half a million dollars
year. We did not find half a dozen
people there who could talk Eng
lish. so we had to use our broken
Dutch. We visited the finest and
largest geological garden on our
trip.
Our tongue getting tired of
talking Dutch, we took the Ely
ing Dutchman' for Netherlands and
Denmark, which we found to be
the best dairy country we have ever
seen. Going north to Frederick
haven and back again to Copenha-
gen, everywhere the most fertile
land we have seen.
Now for the land where my
cradle stood. We landed at NAL

land that gave me my first loaf of

had not been long on the moth
er soil before | learned that the
spirit of anarchism prevailed in the
once law abiding followers of Gus
tat Vasa, Gustavus Adolphus and
Charles XII. They have hurled a
bomb into a crowd of English la
borers, killing one and wounding
many. Here is the hotbed of So
cialism, and as far as l can learn
after careful inquiries from the
southern part to the north, Our be-
loved motherland stands on danger
GUS ground, and l believe there is
not a handful of Vasa blood left.
We studied the conditions carefully
as we proceeded north, stopping
here and there, visiting the farm
ers as we'll as the upper class, -
as they consider themselves.
At last we reached Stockholm,
where we made ourselves at home.
We obtained permission to visit the
800 rooms in the palace, and I used
my camera inside and outside.
The king and family were all at his
summer resort, or / should have
brought him greetings from the
loyal sons of Sweden in America.
We also visited the Riddarholm
church and saw the tomb Of King
Oscar, and the decorations from all
parts of the world. This being the
Fourth of July, the Yankee blood
began to spin in my veins and
hung out my 16x18 inches American
flag from our window in the hotel.
But no one seemed to rejoice with
us and we celebrated alone.
My feelings gave me no rest till
| proceeded farther north, to dear
ones that were waiting for US, and
after a days journey we were
among the scenes of my childhood,
where we met the best of recep-
lions from cousins, neighbors and

reached it's height. Memories of
long ago came rushing on me, es-
pecial]y when we stood on the ruins

PROHIBITION PRESS BULLETIN.
BY John A. Shields, Minneapolis.

Review, devoted to the Wine,
Beer and Spirit Trades" in it's Au-
gust, 1908, number says editorially:
Judge Taft, who delivered cam
paign addresses against the Okla
homa Prohibition Constitution in
1907, is endorsed by Adolphus Busch
and other big brewers. and his
criticism Of prohibition laws in
-Four Aspects of Civic Duty is all
that could be expected of any
friend. Furthermore. Judge Taft
is a champion of the Army Canteen,
and in 1906 as Secretary of War he
wrote an official appeal to Congress
favoring a government appropria-
tion of $50, 900 to reimburse saloon
keepers Of San Francisco whose
places of business during the great
fire had been destroyed by soldiers
in an attempt to save other proper
ty. So far as known, Judge Taft
has never spoken a friendly word
or done a friendly act, public or
otherwise, on behalf of the prohi-
bition cause
When presidential candidate E.
w. Chain came to Minneapolis
Aug. "a the state Prohibition COM
mittee of Minnesota had some an
nouncements printed and detailed a
number of young men in the en-
ploy Of the party to distribute
them to the people of the city.
Lloyd Miller and Christ Hovland
had scarcely begun the work when
the police arrested them upon the
charge of 'littering the streets. :"
This was perhaps the most plaus-
ible excuse at hand, since the post
ers were not obscene, and not in
the prohibited class Of printed mat
ter. The police also arrested a
man who picked up one of the an
nouncements. While going down
to bail the young men out of Jail,
members Of the state Prohibition
committee were handed announce
ments of candidates for nominal
tion at the coming primaries; with
in twenty steps of where the prohi-
bition boys were arrested a young
man was distributing advertising
matter for candidate for sheriff.
He was not molested, even when
the attention Of a policeman was
called to it. This same policeman,
however, insisted that he would not
allow the distribution Of cards the
size Of those being used by the can
didate for sheriff; he changed his
mind when he learned that it was a
campaign card and not prohibition
advertising. The California Wine
Company has been distributing
blotters and folders for a long time
and no arrests have been made.
Clairvoyant folders, larger than the
prohibition announcements, were
obtainable within half block of
where the arrest was made. But
the prohibition boys were arrested
before they were out of sight of
the headquarters building. OF
course, the arrests amounted to
nothing further than to preven'
the prohibitionists from advertising
their meetings. Meanwhile. the
vigilant loops" have found nc
Wine-rooms.
