GOVERNMENT chemists in the de-
partment of agriculture have learned
after a long series of experiments that
corn stalks are good substitutes for
wood pulp in the making of paper.
This discovery may greatly lessen the
cost of paper, as corn stalks can ce
purchased aud the process OF manu-
facture may be carried on at even less
than half the expense necessary when
wood pulp is used. Cotton fibre ought
also to be used in paper making. We
must find a substitute for wood pulp.

Mankato Free Press: Governor John
son complains that Js cob F. Jacobson
has too much to say about his Jacob
son's) past record. Well, it is a pretty
substantial record to talk about and we
don't blame him for referring to it fre
quently. Mr.. jacobson is not obliged
to purloin the record of anyone else,
but he is running for governor on one
of his own making Maybe it john
son had record of his own he would
talk about it.

to the effect that Governor johnson

the remark of Gladstone concerning a

ATTORNEY GENERAL YOUNG EN-
DORSES JACOBSON,
Editor of the St. Paul Dispatch

Editor of the St. Paul Dispatch
My attention has been called to a,
| statement appearing in your paper
on Tuesday in which Governor John
! son is reported as saying in speech
IN this city on Monday night, that
in a letter to the Duluth Herald
prior to the Republican state con-
yention, l had stigmatized Mr..
jacobson, the Republican nominee,
| as the candidate of "the interests.''
The governor may have been mis-
quoted, but whether he was or not.
the idea has gone abroad that I had
made such charge, and this I want
to emphatically deny. Whenever T,
have anything to say to the public
L try not to mince words. There is
nothing l said before the convention
that want to take back; I tried to
be plain then and l want to be plain
now.
Several weeks before the convcn-
ton the Duluth Herald contained an
article saying that because of the op-
position of "the interests" had
concluded to withdraw as a candi-
date. I Immediately wrote to that pa.
per denying that I intended to with
draw, and in that letter I truthfully
stated that knew "the interests
; were opposing me; but neither then
| or at any other time, did I say that
Mr.. Jacobson was their candidate,
: because I knew that he was not. AS
, a matter of fact, "the interests" So
called, did not want either Mr..
Jacobson or me for governor. They
! fully intended up to the very Gay Of
p; the convention, if they could get
1 control, to beat us both and nomin-
ate dark horse" Fortunately they
could not get such control.
On the night before the conven-
tion I had a conference with my
friends, and, believing, as I did at
that time, that at least four-ffths
of the delegates wanted either Mr..
Jacobson or myself nominated, and
that of that number he was the first
choice of a substantial majority, I
concluded to withdraw as a candi-
date and ask my friends to support
him and thus unite the party and
make his nomination practically un-
animous. By this action on my part
Mr. jacobson was given the support
of an overwhelming majority of the
delegates, comprising a class of men
that could not be controlled by any
other motive than an honest sense Of
duty. The result was that when the
convention met next morning and
announced my withdrawal and Sec
onded Mr.. JacObsOn's nomination,
no other name was presented and he
was nominated by acclamatfon. II
I thought that "the interests want
a6 Mr. Jacobson for qOVerHOr I
would not have asked my friends in
the convention to support him, nor
would I have seconded his nomina-
tion. ss s5 8

What a lot of old blatherskites and

What a lot of old blatherskites and
windys and carpetbaggers and political
cormorants and barnacles alwus show
up in front at election time. They
shove themselves into the electric light
to the disgust of the right thinkin'
rank and file and shoot off their
mouths like they was the whole thing
and try to carry the impression that
the party would drop dead if they
should happen to go away off and sut-
side The folks that hav control of
party management ought to put the
extinguisher on these nincompoops who
carry no more weight or influence than
duck feather in tornado. Yet when
it comes to official appointments these
very same insistent barnacles turn up
at the front like as if they deserved
the whole cheese. It's too bad that
some way can't be invented to suppress
these for the good of the order. The
rank and file are reasonin' thinkin'
men who know what they believe and
why. They ought to control and their
influence and standin' ought to count
tons when it comes to showdown of
party views and choices.
[ alwus feel sorry and disgusted to
see a man make worse than idjlt and
brute of hisself when he knows the
consequence straight. Down to Chi.
cago the other day they arrested man
who used to be skilled and prominent
doctor up in northern Minnesota. He
retired five years ago with nice little
wad of $685. 600. The other day he was
run in by the Chicago police penniless
and his mind almost gone from the
use of cocaine, morphine and the like.
He says hisself that he's physical and
mental wreck from the use of drugs.
Now he knew better than Farmer Ben
the awtulness of the morphine habit.
He knew that when the habit got to be
habit you might almost as we'll try to
extricate yourself right out of the jaw
Of a lion that had grabbed You. He
knew that the morphine undermines
all will and honor and manhood. Other
folks know this too but they play with
the fiend like they were IN no danger.
The only way to deal with morphine
and such is TO cut 'em out teetotally
now and forever more.

COLUMN

My paper says that French poodle
dog owned by a New York rich bug
has private reom at the Plaza hotel, a
tutor, a maid, private bath and a
special menu. The tutor teaches the
poodle tricks, the maid takes the poodle
out for walk daily and special grub is
prepared for the blooded canine. It's
enuf to make q maa puke to read such
things. 1 see the Paris fashions for
dogs hav just ben issued for the 1909
season. Dogs now are to hav handker-
chiefs of their own carried in special
bags AID are to be scented with per-
fume to match that used by the mis-.
tress~ Dogs capes are to hav long
dowin' lines and are to match the
mistress's suit. Fashionable dog
collars will be set with diamonds. And
to think that all this time right in sight
and sound of such dog gone outrageous
extravaganza and fooly there are
thousands of children who are glad to
get any old kind of cape or coat if they
get any at all to keep 'em from freezin'
and are glad to get a chance at any old
vittles goin'.
1t makes me tired when l read OF
the hardships Of the poor children in
the big cities. The Chicago superin'
tender says that 5000 children of tend
er years in the Chicago schools go to
school every mornin' starvin' and three
times that number are insuficiently
fed. The mothers of lots of these hav
to work out and go to their work at
daylight and the little folks hav to 60
hungry or half fed. The widows and
deserted mothers work long houra for q
pittance and liv in homes where rats
run over the floors where tie children
hav to sleep. Insted Of hayin' maids
and capes to match their mama's and
tutors and special feed such as the
wicked dog keepers hire these poor
children are grateful for enuf to keep
'em from starvin' and freezin' % death.
No wonder such children are stunted.
No wonder they can't study. No

My idee of these fyin' machines is
like that of Prof. Newcomb, the emin.
ent astronomer. He says that when
you're up In the air you can't stop to
fix your machinery but the mint you
stop you're like a wounded bird you go
to the ground cobump. All you can do
is to sort of pick your point to drop on
pickin' between tree and river and
field or house. No motor was ever
invented which won't get out OF whack
some time and when your power stops
down you go. I tell you too you've
got to hav awful power to go agenst
wind where you choose and you've got
no grip on any thing stable and solid to
put the brakes to. When the engineer
on q arailroad locomotive whistles down
brakes he puts on the air and you fetch
up standin'. You've got somethin' to
grip to. It amt so and never will belso
in the air. Machinery that will drive
agenst q floatin' machine in the air will
hay to 60 some to meet and overcome

poses to thu onward move. aln't put

for Dodge City.

Dodge City Is noted for Its many miles
Of fine sidewalks, but nearly all Of them
run north and south across town. Two
long stretches Of walks are now being
arranged for which will extend the en-
tire length across Dodge City east and
west. One of them will cross Railroad
avenue between the L. Il. French resi-
dence and H. A. Burnett's place and will
reach to J. s. Kelsey's at the east side Of
town an in the other direction to the west
side of town. The other will cross Rail-
road avenue between the residences of
A. Russell and W. H. Lord and extend
eastward and westward the same dis
lance as the other.
1t also seems TO be practically settled
that two blocks from Front street north
on First Avenue will be paved, also
Chestnut street from Railroad avenue to
Third avenue and probably two blocks On
Second avenue during the coming

Dodge City Mill ia One That the
County Can Well Be Proud or.
The new mill established here by the
Dodge City Milling and Elevator Com
pany is an interesting place to visit Ut
present. The mill this week has been
turning out more than 400 barrels Of flour
per day, and the finest quality OF -four
that you ever saw. The machinery is
that of a modern model mill. One Of
the first things that will impress visitor
In the mill is the wonderful cleanliness OF
the process used. II the National Pure
Food Law was run through this mill IL
would come out looking like different
article. From the time the wheat comes
into the mill and goes through the first
cleaning process, is dampened and begins
the varied circuit which gathers the last
particle of flour that can be extracted, the
cleaning process continues aud the tiniest
speck of dirt can never get through with
the flour. The quality of the flour made
compared with that of various mills, is far
better than any outside sample secured.
A visit through the mill at present will
make any Ford county man feel proud
that this institution is located here.
