Boys, you men of tomorrow, did you
ever stop and think and wonder what
the W ,rd luck means1 Will you take
a tip from usl Well, listen then! Luck
means that you get up in the morning at
six o'clock when you reach manhood,
live on dollar day If you make two,
mind your own business and don't med
die with other peoples Luck also
means the hardships and privations you
have endured unhesitatingfy, aud the
nights you have devoted to your work,
Luck means the appointments you have
never failed to keep, the trains you have
never failed to catch Luck comes to
those who butt right ahead, and know
how to wait when they have to. Luck
isn't something that comes to you,
you've got to get it. Don't forget this.
When you see man prosperous, don't
say he's lucky. He's just awake to the
enormity Of the seriousness of life and
he toed the mark on time and won out.

EDITOR CHAMPION: Please RI
your readers that this is the time Of
year to prune and fertilize their rosusV
Cut the bushes well back, rake the earth
away being careful not to injure roots
and apply a liberal dressing of good
commercial fertilizer then pull the earth
back around the plant.
In short time new growth will
appear and during the winter the bushes
should blossom freely.
In January second application Of
fertilizer can be made.
violets should be set out nov. The
bed should be in partiaIssnade, not
where the plants will be exposed to the
hot sun. Make the bed very rich as
much depends upon good rank growth
OF foliage Shade plants for week or
ten days after setting The California
violet succeeds well here and has the
longest stems Of any sort. c, S. B.

Attorney General Young is seeming
ly in an angry mood. It appears that
he or one of his underlings instigated
an article which appeared in the Du-
luth Herald some days since in which
it was asserted that he contemplated
withdrawing from the race for the re-
publican nomination for governor,
thus affording him an opportunity to
rush into print, deny the allegation,
defy the alligators and at the same
time pathetically inform the public
that his old time friends, the "inter-
ests," had thrown him down and
stepped on him. This remarkable
ebullition Of temper on the part of the
Edward leads US to believe
that if he we're to souse his enlarged
head in a fnger-bowl containing ice
cold water it might be good for what
ails him.

A measure is pending in CONGRESS

A measure is pending in, congress
known as the "pure seed BILL" It
was referred to the interstate COM
MERGE committee for consideration
and that committee has recommended
it's passage. The bill provides that
all seeds sold in one state to persons
in another shall he offered only under
statement guaranteeing their purity,
and that no seeds which are mixed or
contain adulterants shall be brought
in from other countries. It also
makes it a misdemeanor to carry on
Interstate commerce or foreign COM
MERGE in seeds that are adulterated or
misbranded. This measure should
prove of especial interest to Mime
sofa, which produces the finest and
purest clover seed in the world, for it
would prevent seeds from being mis-
branded and passed off as the product
of this state.

The school entertainment given in

grand success socially as we'll as
financially. The house was packed
and the program was the very best
that could be considering the size of
the room. The scholars showed ex-
cellent skill in the rendition of the
program and the teacher, Miss
Christa Wallace, is deserving of much
credit for her earnest and faithful en-
deavors in preparing such an elabor-
ate entertainment. Miss Wallace IS
to be congratulated upon her success
with the whole evenings work. The

Why should the Long Prairie Leader
so persistently oppose sending Hon.
E. B. Hawkins as delegate-at-large
to the republican national conven-
ton? One of the reasons the Leader
assigns for it's opposition to Mr..
Hawkins is that he is a representative
of the steel trust. How about Frank
B. Kellogg, the special attorney for
the steel trust in Minnesota? The
Leader does not seem to object to Mr..
Kellogg as a delegate. The latter is
actively identified with the big cor
poration, while Mr.. Hawkins is neither
directly or Indirectly connected with
the steel trust.

Chicago special to the Minneapolis

Circulars are being sent broadcast,
and there seems to be an unlimited
amount of money behind the move
ment. ~

Emperor William finds it impossible
to longer make both ends meet with
the miserable pittance of So, $3.50, ZOO
which is annually doled out to him,
and bill will be introduced provid-
ing for an increase. The advanced
price of the necessaries of life is one
of the grounds set forth for the de-
mand, and then there are the royal
children and a lot of other persons
who are entirely dependent upon the
monarch's purse. Williams salary
should by all means be raised. If Ger
may insists on having an emperor it
should pay him fair living salary.

Speaker Cannon says that if the
claims of the publishers of the
country are correct the manufacturers
of paper are liable to a penalty and
the trust can be dissolved in the
United States courts. With the view
of wiping out such monopoly, Mr..
Cannon introduced a resolution in the
house calling upon the attorney
general and the secretary of commerce
and labor to inform the house what
steps have been taken by these depart
ments to investigate the action of the
International Paper company of New
York and other corporations. Uncle
Joe is a shrewd politician and knows
full we'll that this action of his cannot
fail to make a good impression upon
the newspaper boys-the fellows who
make presidents.

ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
A st. Cloud friend writes: II am
very anxious to know whether there
is any truth whatever to be attached
to the report that the interests have
made terms with Jacobson. I am sat-
isfed that Young is but I
have had very high regard for
Jacobson. These rumors are persis-
tently circulated and, no doubt, will
cause considerable trouble.'' The
reports that have been industriously
circulated by the professional boodlers
who have no love for Mr.. jacobson
to the effect that he is backed by the
interest" are absurdly false. Who
would the ''interests" be most likely
to favor-men whom they have done
business with for years, or a man who
has always zealously championed the
cause OF the plain people? Mr.. Jacob
son is conducting a clean and manly
fight for the republican nomination
for governor. He is man of mod
crate means, has no financial backing
save to a very limited extent from a
few of his friends and neighbors in
his home town of Madison, and cannot
afford to make an expensive cam
paign. His sole reliance is in the
comm on people whom he has so faith
fully served. If Doodle controls the
republican state convention Mr..
Jacobson will be defeated, otherwise
he will prove an easy winner.

and presented with a pair of pretty

no such celebration as that which &C.
Cured. 1t was a pleasant, jolly
gathering and Bill was highly de-
lighted. Being bashful young man
he could not be prevailed upon to
sing, but he told several stories
which convulsed the party in laughter.

is, but il consequence of being an

Captain Mikkelsen, who recently
returned from the polar regions, is
confident that an undiscovered CONT
nent exists in Beaufort sea, for he
has found a continental shelf under
the ocean to warrant this belief.
From a scientific viewpoint the dis
covery would be important, but con-
tinent OF, glaciers could hardly prove
of any benefit to the commercial
world.
