Turkeys sultan has at last beer
brought to time-forced into restoring
to Macedonia the constitution of 1876,
In pursuing this policy the rascally
old polygamist knew full we'll that tc
do otherwise would be to bring the
young Turkish party to arms and in
all probability to bring about his
dethronement. The concessions
granted by the sultan will have, fo1
the time being, the effect of pacifyine
at least a part of his subjects, but not
until the great powers step in, annex
the empire and introduce christian re-.
forms will the atrocities which are be.
ing continually committed in the
domain be successfully suppressed.

% Undue influence" or, in plain
language, graft, is limited at by some
of the daiies in commenting upon the
Standard Oil decision handed down
by the federal circuit court of appeals.
The action of the court is at least
directly opposite to that which was
expected by the department of Justice.

charging the judges with corrupt

Is Minneapolis aware of the fact
that it has been made the laughing
stock of the northwest through the
lying braggadocio of one Of its So
called newspapers? Not long ago
this untruthful sheet announced that
Armour had decided to install an i'm
mense packing plant in the suburbs of
Minneapolis, last week it announced
IN 4S'point type that the Shriners'
convention was being held in that
city, and now it asserts, in the
brazen-faced. style peculiar to itself,
and when typhoid fever is raging at
it's very threshold, that Minneapolis
is a more healthful city than st. Paul!
These are but three among the thou
sands OF stories it has printed for the
purpose Of stringing the public.

Canada has been set agog during
the week by the visit of that yellow
whiskered dignitary, the Prince OF
Wales. Canucks from all parts of the
dominion rushed to Quebec to greet
the heir apparent and Vice-President
Fairbanks was there to represent the
United States. The prince is by no
means an imposing parsonage. He is
below the medium stature, has a SAL
low compe3ion and languid express
sion, while his ochre-colored whiskers
are trimmed a la vandyke and his
mustache is trained in the Emperor
Bill style. Why people are such fools
as to travel hundreds of miles merely
to get glimpse of fellow like this
is beyond understanding.

At a meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the republican state commit
tee held in ST. Paul last week, the re,
publican candidate for governor is
quoted as having said with reference
to campaign contributions, 1--WE want
nobody's help or his money if there is
a string tied to it," That is Just like
Mr.. jacobson, a4d the stand he has
taken is highlys communicable. ! But
there is small danger of the "inter.
ests'' forcing contributions on Mr..
Jacobson's managers. Two and four
years ago the republican state com.
mittee had not money enough to pay
postage. We will be agreeably sur.
prised if the committee succeeds this
year in raising funds sufficient. with
or without strings, to meet the legiti.
mate expenses of the campaign. Blu,
we believe Mr.. Jacobson could dis.
pense with the services of state com.
mittee altogether and THEN be elected.

Over Thirty-Five Years.

In 1877 there was a great deal OF
diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera in.
fantum. It was at this time that
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was first brought
into use. It proved more successful
than any other remedy or treatment,
and has for thirty-fve years main
tanned that record. From a small
beginning it's sale and use has ex-
tended to every part of the United
States and to many foreign countries.
Nine druggists out of ten will recon-
mend it when their opinion is asked,
although they have other medicines
that pay them a greater profit. It
can always be depended upon, even
in the most severe and dangerous
cases. For sale by Princeton Drug Co.

President Roosevelt is somewhat
exasperated over the decision of the
court of appeals in the Standard Oil
case and has directed the attorney
general to Immediately take steps to
secure a retrial. The president con.
siders the decision contrary to that
demanded by the facts as brought out
in the testimony and will do every
thing in his power to avert a miscar-
riage of justice. In the meantime the
Standard Oil company will continue
its policy of rebating and robbing the

Communication.
Blue Hill, July %, 1905

z Blue Hill, July 70, 1908.
: Editor y n ion: In your issue OF
the 23rd inst. appeared an item in
which it was stated that 81. B. Pratt
was being talked of as a probable
candidate for the legislature, but, the
item adds, "Mr. Pratt says he is only
plain farmer and has no desire to
hold" Office" I am" also a '"plain
farmer, and I believe I express the
sentiments of hundreds. of "plain
farmers" in Sherburne, Mile Laos,
Anoka and Isanti counties when say
Mr.. Pratt is just the right kind of a
man to send to the legislature. He
has taken an active part in the move
ment to better the condition of the
farmers in this vicinity and the
American Society Of Equity has
no ADLER exponent or one who is more
in earnest than 81. B. Pratt.
I hope the "p]ain farmers' of Sher-
burne county and the district general
ly will insist upon Mr.. Pratt becom-
ing a candidate, and if he permits the
use of his name there is no doubt in
my mind but what he will be success
full at the primaries and at the polls.
We need few such intelligent farm
ers as Mr.. Pratt in the legislature.
More than year ago the Union
truly said that there were too many
professional men in the legislature
and too few farmers. AS usual the
y n i hit the nail on the head. We
know the U nj % n sympathizes with the
farmers, as any one who has read it
weekly for as many years as I have
cannot help knowing. Now we want
the U nion to help US put Fl. B.
Pratt in the legislature.
Hoping that you will give this letter
a place in the columns of your valu-
able and ever welcome paper.

Farmers Wanted.

80. - washington, d. c..
Wanted 900 practical farmers who
would like to own homes of their own.
The government has nearly 100000
acres of land lying under the various
irrigation projects throughout the
west for which water will be available
next season. The farm Unit on these
projects varies in most cases from 40
to 80 acres of irrigable+ land, depend
ing upon location. In many sections
tract of grazing land has been in
cluded in the farm unit wherever prac-
ticable, bringing the total up to 100
acres.
The only charge for these farms,
besides the regular land Office fee for
filing, is the actual cost of getting
water to them, and payment may be
made in ten annual installments, with
out interest.
These irrigation projects are scat
tered over the entire arid region, from
Canada to the Mexican line. In con-
sequence, every variety of crop grown
in the temperate zone can be raised
under them. If you would like fruit
or dairy farm, a grader for market
