tice; it cannot be based on values;
it cannot be built upon our wealth
of mine and forest and farm and
factory. It argues something eco
nomically wrong. If Bryan is
elected, will there be fewer fishes
in our lakes and rivers; less timber
in our forests; less ore in our
mines; fewer dollars in the nations
Golfers? Will our countless acres
shrivel up; the millions of cattle of
our pasture lands perish as if by
plague; will our factories and fur
naces vanish? Why will prosperity
flee from this great country? Will
there be fewer hands to labor; few
er mouths to feed; fewer backs to
clothe? The threat that prosperity
will cease with republican rule is
either a bugaboo with which to
brighten the faint hearted, or it is
confession of the most stupendous
wrong, the most iniquitous abuse
of power the world has ever seen,
and in either case it is the most
contemplate kind of demagogism,
for the man who plays upon the
fears of the people is surely a dem
agog, or if he has power to back
up his threats with results, worse
still, traitor who ought to hang
higher than Hannah. Republican
brethren, do you not know that
when you reiterate this ':.scare
talk you are lending yourselves to
the uses Of Industrial pirates; do
you not know that to assert that
hard times would follow Bryan's
election is the most terrible ar
raignment of the republican party
that can be made? Taft's defeat
cannot take one jot or title from
the natural resources of our coun-
try; it will not make fewer by one
the band Of willing workers nor
less the legitimate needs of the
people by so much as one loaf of
bread or one pair of shoes; His
defeat could not affect the natural
sources of wealth, the supply of Ia
Dor nor the legitimate demand for
the products of mans skill, and
therefore, if the assertion that hon
est laborers would starve if Bryan
is elected means anything it means
that the benefciaries OF republican
rule would not be satisfied with an
equitable division of profits, and SO
would put and bring on hard times,
a thing which they might do since
they have been allowed to get al
most absolute control Of the means
of production.

might better employ his time dis
cussing the matter of railroad reg
ulation as the question confronts US
today. Mr.. Jacobson evidently has
not posted up on what has occurred
since he left the legislature, for in
his speech at Clarkfield he advocat-
ed that the state mineral lands
should be Withdrawn from exploita-
ton and held for the future well
fare Of the state. apparently not
knowing that such a law was recon-
mended by Gov. johnson and passed

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of tn. ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
sed by an infiamed condition Of the mucous
Inning of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mucous sur.
faces.

" EDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 'O8
AN OFFICIAL WHO DESERVES
REELECTION.

II there IS any official in the
county's service who deserves the
compliment of reelection by an in
creased majority such official is
Sheriff Ronde. He has made good,
and has established record of
which his constituents may we'll be
proud. Coming into office abso-
lute]y independent Of the dominat-
ing party, he has given the county
as a whole a service that for eff
cheney has rarely been excelled and
for economy has never be IN
equalled.
Sheriff Bonde has the natural
born instincts which are necessary
to the successful officer who is to
apprehend evildoers and ferret out
the evidence necessary to bring
them to justice. He has been re-
markably successful in many cases
besides those which have been pub
lished in the papers. We know of
several instances where he has Sc
cured the return of stolen property,
where no evidence sufficient to con-
vict was to be had. With a few
officials like Bonde turnout the
state. these travelling burglar gangs
would soon steer clear from the
commonwealth, not to speak of the
check on the petty thieving and
crooked work within the commun-
ity.
Bonde's administration has in no
small degree contributed to the Sue
cess of the no-license policy now so
strongly intrenched in six of the
seven municipalities of the county.
Elected as a prohibitionist, he has
been loyal to the ideals that placed
him into the office and he is today
the greatest menace and deterrent
in the community to the would be
oootlegger and blind tiger.
Sheriff Bonde has demonstrated
that activity coupled with efficiency
in his artment may accomplish
a great deal at small cost. The
members of the county board are
unanimous in the declaration that
never before have the expenses of
Jail and kindred matters been as
light as during the past two years.
And this in spite OF the fact that
about as many captures have been
made as under any previous like
period.
The Tribune recalls with a good
deal of pride (pardonable, we hope)
that it was the only newspaper in
the county which urged the cleo
tion of Bonde for sheriff two years
ago. The record made by him dur
ing his first two years has amply
justified everything we said about
him then.
Opposed to Bonde stands the par
ty machine of the dominant party
and those utra-Iiquor sympathizers
who believe liquor laws are not
made to be enforced. But party
regularity and the cries of the
booze gang are not sufficient rea-
sons for turning down faithful
official, and we feel perfectly con-
fident that the voters of the county
will roll up handsome majority
for Peter Bonde, the famous prohi-
bition sheriff of Kandiyohi county.

ACCEPTED VERDICT OF DOCTOR.
Great Painter Heard His Sentence

When Turner. the famous painter.

done him some good during his recent
stay at that place. and who. he hoped.
might take different view OF his case
from that which the London physi-
clans had expressed. The doctor ar.
rived. and confirmed the opinion that
the artist had very little time longer
TO live. Wait bit" said Turner to
the doctor. you have had nothing to

YeWs In ChurchYards.

The object of planting yews in

Some antiquarians have asserted that
the custom arose in order TO supply
bows for the purpose of archery. but
this idea is in the highest degree un.
likely. Gilbert White suggested that
one object might have been to serve
as "a screen to churches by their
thick foliage from the violence of
winds" They might also. he thought,

said II. or course | mean capsules,
How could ever l get 1t twisted up

And really that wasn't the most
