While the republican papers are
industriously knocking the various
candidates for governor-in the in
terest of harmony-only few of
them seem to remember that there
are other places to be filled. There
is the Railroad and Warehouse
Commission, for instance. It is of
vital Importance to the state that a
commission be elected that will do
something to enforce the laws, or
at least find out if the recent court
decision leaves anything for them
to do. The two members whose
terms expire this year, Mills and
Young. ought to be relegated to the
scrap pile, having apparently adopt
ed the Joe Cannon idea-do nothing
but draw your salary. Speaking of
these men, the Litchfield News Led
ger republican, says: 1.-The dele
gates to the republican state con-
vention want to see that they name
the right men for those positions
or there may be two more demo-
Gratis drawing salaries from the
state after the first of next January.
The time has gone by when the
people will pass those positions
with a beck and nod"

The democrats held an election
down in St. Paul the other day. It
was rumored up till election day
that the republicans were going to
take part in the affair, but the
result shows that they changed their
minds about it. Just to show that
they were not hoggish the demo-
Gratis gave the republicans two al
dermen, one councilman, one justice
of the peace and one constable.

PROHIBITION PRESS BULLETIN.

PROM 4I1ON PRESS Bull ETIN.
BY John A. Shields. Minneapolis.
The genial Lac qui Parle states
man, who used to be 50 pronounced
for reform. seems to have "eat his
tag. !" He has shut up like burg
lar-proof safe on county option,
taxation, and like topics. Maybe
he is like Speaker johnson, who,
a. an ordinary member, introduced
the County Option bill in 1901, and
used his power as Speaker in 1907
to defeat it.
Joe Cannon, Speaker of the
House. with brutal frankness told
the people that this session of Con-
gress would do nothing but kill
time and spend the peoples money.
He may make good, but the presi-
dent has certainly built some pref
ty hot fires under him. and here's
hoping he smokes him out.

The bill to re-establish the army

pearance in Congress. This ques-
ton has been one of the liveliest

Even the dram maker and dram

the effects of prohibition. The
brewery in Decatur, Illinois, not
far from where the great emancipa-
tor spoke the words. has proven
their truthfulness. 1t is a pop fac
tory since Decatur went dry.
St. Paul went democratic in large
chunks. Next fall the same gang
that pulled the democratic wires
will manipulate the republican
strings and give the customary re-
publican plurality. Queer game,
this politics, with neither principles
nor principle.
Righteousness and patriotism is
hard combination to beat. No
one questions the righteousness of
the cause of prohibition. Here are
a few samples of patriotism
Bright college man, earning over
500 per month, has volunteered his
time and services in Minnesota
without pay. Three Scandinavian
college men, all working their way
thru college, each contributed 500
per year to prohibition work.
Capable business man of family,
just this week resigned fine posi-
tion to take work for the Prohibi-
ton State Committee at half the
salary. And there are more like
cases in this state. Couple that
spirit with righteous cause, and
it cannot be beaten.

The ''Harmonizing" of the re-
publican party in this state is pro-
crossing rapidly. The Young
boomers are ''harmonizing" the
Jacobson supporters by shouting
that Jake has sold out to the corpor-
atoms and the liquor interests,
which gentle insinuation of course
has a great influence in making
Jake's followers ready to vote for
Young as second choice in case
their candidate fails to land. The
Jacobson men are gently soothing
and harmonizing the Young men by
raking up the latter's record as a
corporation servant in the state
senate. Bob Dunn, Jacobson's most
active supporter, adds a little more
harmony oil by saying that the Eng
fish language contains no words
strong enough to express his con-
tempt for Ed Young most peo-
pie know that Bob has a larger as
sortment of expressions of that sort
than any other man in Minnesota,
tho Of course he can't use large
part of them in print. Somebody
harmonized Joel Heatwole the other
day by sending out the statement
that Joel was a cigarette fiend.
Verify the dove of peace has built
it's nest in the republican building
and is Matching out an interesting
brood. In view of the harmony
that will fly about in chunks at the

eELLHIRD BROUGHT TO LONDON.
Rare Specimen That Has Been Sc.
cured for the Zoo

A specimen of tho naked-throated
bellbird (Chasmorhynchus nudlcollis)
has just been received at the Zoolog-
ical gardens, London. The most re-
markahle thing in connection with the
bellbird is it's powerful voice; it ut
tiers clear, metallic note which can
be heard at distance of three miles.
It's noise is like that produced by a
blacksmith striking his anvil. Some
times it repeats it's notes in quick
succession, sometimes at fairly long
intervals. There is no mistake about
the voice of this bird; 1t is loud aud
piercing, and would be heard above
the din produced by every inmate Of
The zoo raising its voice at once. Ex-
cept for a space of naked skin on the
throat and around the eyes, which,
during the breeding season, is of a
green color, this bird is pure white.
The contrast between the sexes In the
beilbirds, of which two species have
been exhibited in the menagerie, is
extreme. For while the male Is pure
white, the female is brownish green
Darwin refers to the bellbil d when he
points out that white is a very rare
color In terrestrial species of mod
crate size and ipoffensive habits"
