Mower County transcript., 1908-06-03

Work that provides chance for ad.
vancement and the acquiring of addi-
tional knowledge is pleasure to the
healthy mind.
Goodhue Enterprise: There are a
great many who have been heard to
say that the railroads and moneyed
men of other branches of business
would not allow Joel p. Heatwole to be
elected governor if nominated. Be
that as it may, it would be mighty pleas
ant to go through campaign talking
and working for such a man as Joel
anyhow.
Leroy independent: Every one who
reads this will learn with regret that
j. G. Hall, who has been for several
years past assistant cashier in the First
State Bank, has left LIE Roy to
take a position in the First National
Bank of Austin. John says he hates
to leave Leroy, but substantial ad-
vance in salary with enlarged opportun
tiles for promotion proved very attrac-
tive to him, and all are glad that these
have come his way. No young man in
town has better reputation for ability,
honesty and all round uprightness than
he and his place in the community will
be hard to fill.
st. Cloud Journal Press: A Wash
ingt0n correspondent tells an interest
ing story of the attempt to defeat Sec.
retary Taft for the Republican n0mi.
nation-which happily seems to have
failed. This was to bring out as many
az M ~ ~ 70 fn Cc
possible to take votes away from Taft.
1t is said that Foraker, Knox, Cannon
and Hughes were in the deal but La
Toilette refused to have anything to
do with the plan This is familiar
game with politicians, and especially
with the big interests, which of course
have no use for Taft.
Winnebago City Enterprise: Some
people never seem 20 learn by exper-
ience. Anna Gould is going to marry
another French bargain counter
"prince." It is a pity that these rich
American young women cannot marry
in their own country where every man,
no matter how much coin of realm re-
poses in his Golfer, is king in truth
and not in name.
LeSueur Sentinel: "Doc" Bixby, the
wise man of the Nebraska State Jour
nal, went to few of the modern up. TO-
date revivals, filed with slang of the
base ball diamond and the race track
and a few other places not usually
associated very closely with church
work, and On his return delivered him
self as follows: II hope Billy Sunday
will succeed in making the world bet
tef, for 1t certainly needs it, but we'd
rather hear the old, old story told by
someone who speaks in a gentle, kindly
and charitable way not so much in an
'l've got religion what-the-hell have.
you got? tone of voice.
Redwood Gazette: Nebraska express
companies scaled down their rates 25
per cent the other day, after they had
been forced to do it by a mandate of
the supreme court. We heard some.
thing about fifteen per cent voluntary
reduction made by the express compan.
les IN this state at the time of the last
legislative session, but the bills seem to
come in on the same scale of magn;fi.
cence as before. "s... ."s: g.
Princeton Union: The appointment
of one c. A. Smith to place on the
univerity board Of regents doesn't seem
to bear out the contention of Cover
nor Johns organs that he Is opposed
to ''the interests"
Fairmont Independent: It is esti
maten that at least one fourth of tht
tile laid to this date in the county viii
have to be taken up and relaid at
much larger expense than occurred ir
first instance. The country is full O.
those who claim to be tilers, but VIII,
are utterly incompetent. A competen
tiler will take no exception to thi
statement. When you hear one how
ling because the Independent make
this statement, you can put him dowl
as an incompetent man for the wor]
of tileing your land.
