1t is all the fault of the system.

All the arguments, or alleged aiSue-
ments, advanced for bonds can be
summed up in the plea for improve
ments. But on that question there Is no
dispute. improvements are always in
order. and sometimes it is necessary
10 borrow money in order TO carry
out the plan laid for greater future.
There are no two opinions as TO that.
All the oratory and all the eloquenco
spent on converting citizens to the
need of improvements is wasted
There no doubt as TO that.
In order to carry the bond issue you
must convince the voters that the
present administration is competent
and honest. You must convince them
that the money will be spent as pro-
missed. and not on something else. Can
that be done? Is there a taxpayer
so foolish as to permit the same crowd
to deceive him twice?
Take the building of the Big Cot
tonwood conduit as an illustration
The sum of $35OOo0 was asked for
for the construction of that aqueduct
on the assurances of the officials that
that would be enough the request was
granted. 1t was more than enough
for the construction was subsequently
contracted for AT very much smalle'
figure. Then the american party Of
ficials took charge. and one of theiI
first acts was TO repudiate the ap
proved plans and estimated cost Of th'
conduit Thev snent. as they claim, owe,
$4,000 on that piece of work. They
did thElt without authority. They
fooled the voters The impression u
very general today that they canno
account for the added cost of the con
dult. Almost every promise mad

shamefully broken under the Am

Asa Wallace Should be Promoted

In anticipation of the forthcom-
ing annual meeting of the State
Editorial Association, it is not out
of place to remind the newspaper
men of this section Of the state that
Asa M. Wallace of Fairfax is the
present first vice president of the
organization and under established
precedent is the proper person to elect
for president the coming year. The
organization has been too much of an
appendage of the twin cities in time
past, and with Asa at the head the
interests of the country press, which
are the real strength of the organ
ization, would be looked after, and
we would have a chance to realize
real cooperation instead Of junket-
ing and speech-making which has
been about all there was in the asso-
citation in times past. Asa is a real
printer as well as capable editor
and business man, and that is the
kind of president the organization
wants.

Bound Over to Grand Jury

The examination Of Henry Tamsen
and Paul Buerger, whose arrest for
stealing muskrat skins was noted
last week, resulted in their being
bound over by Judge Laudon to
await the action of the grand jury.
The specific charge made by County
Attorney Owens was wrongfully TAX
ing 108 rat skins from the cook shan
ty Of J. w. King. AS stated last
week, the arrest followed upon the
confession of young Soltau in the
Jail. Scheriff Schueller acting on the
information. Attorney Dolliff ap-
peared for the defense, and they
claim to be able to prove an alibi as
to any connection with the crime
charged. Tamsen furnished bonds
for his appearance, but up to yes
terday young Burger was still in
durance, in default Of bail.

Unless unforeseen obstacles inter-
pose, the coming year will witness
some substantial advances in the
matter Of improving the highways
between Redwood and Renville
counties. At present the situation
is by no means satisfactory, especially
when the Minnesota is at flood tide.
Our readers will recall the hardships
of both the Morton and North Red
wood crossings on several occasions
last spring and summer, when the
only means Of crossing for days at a
time was by boat, on account of the
approaches being overf1owed on the
Renville side at North Redwood, and
on the Redwood county side opposite
Morton. At conference of the
county commissioners of both coun-
ties at Morton last Friday, steps
were taken which will undoubtedly
lead to great improvement in these
conditions. An arrangement was
virtually agreed upon, whereby Red
wood county undertakes to maintain
the highway and approaches to the
North Redwood bridge on both sides
of the Minnesota, thus lifting the
load for our North Redwood and
Renville county neighbors, while on
the other hand the Renville county
commissioners haye assumed the
task of constructing and protecting
proper approaches to the Minnesota
wagon bridge near Morgan, on this
side of the river, where the main
trouble from overfows have always
been encountered. This arrange
ment effectually and we trust salts
factorily settles an irritating trouble
that has caused no end of complaint
on both sides of the river.
At the same conference the date
for receiving bids for the bridge
over the Minnesota river near Bel
view was set for Feb. 9Th next
For purely selfish reasons, some op-
position has been encountered in
the Renville towns nearest Belview
to bridge which would tend tc

pense of the towns along the Mil

of Renville farmers are much near.
err the St. Louis railroad than the
Milwaukee line it is as much to their
interest to have suitable crossing
as it is to the Belview merchants,
and hence it is thought that the

in the Thompson building which was
removed a year or two to make
room for the two new stores south

Saturday at his home in st. Paul.

of his malady, which was the culmi-
nation of a weakness Of long stand

the aid Of his sister, but we are in
formed that the Cook home was
most unfortunately under quaran-
tine for smallpox. owing to the ex-
posture Of one Of the children to the
contagion. The widow. who is re-
membered by old citizens here as

DEMOCRATIC TALKfEST
Social function at the lechner Hall With
No Politics q in it.

There was a sort of Democratic
love-feast at Lechner's hall last Fri
day night, but as no one connected
with this journal was hidden to the
feast, we are unable to give an au-
thentic account of the program. The
Morgan Messenger of last week gave
the function an elaborate forecast,
which included the naming of candi-
dates for all the county offices. We
are pretty reliably informed that the
meeting in question wholly disre-
garded the program arranged for it
by the Messenger.
Caterer Smithers professed no in
formation about the banquet in the
forenoon, but towards evening got
busy on rush order for refresh
ments for the faithful, and admits
that he served the viands to about Is
persons. Joe Keefe says that almost
every town in the county was repre-
sented, but failed to furnish a list of
the representatives.
Inquiries since the meeting lead to
the conclusion that county offices
were not so much the inspiring mo-
tive as state, presidential and espe-
cially legislative politics. Without
disparaging the representatives of
the democracy at Friday evenings
gathering, it has leaked out through
the water wagon contingent that a
few of the leading spirits are greatly
concerned over the danger of the
passage of a county option bill at the
coming session of the legislature. In
that connection one of the leading
sachems imprudently dropped hint
that there was plenty of money to
be had to secure the election of
men who were fright"

FOR A GOOD BROAD HIGHWAY
LEADING TO THE MINNESOTA
County Commissioners of Redwood and Renvle Counties
Take Action for Making the Minnesota Cross
able in All STAGES of Water.
The Cherished Dream Good Highway and Easy Grade
to North Redwood May Yet Be Reazed-A
Prospect of Government Aid.

Renville commissioners will not OBJ
struct the plan for the proposed
bridge, the expense of which will
largely be borne by a state appro-
priation.
Another important good roads
project under way, is the matter of
converting the grade between North
Redwood and Redwood Falls into
state highway, on the general line
surveyed last summer, under the
direction of Messrs. Cooper and
Aune. The magnitude of the I'M
dertaking as well as its great de-
sirableness, has impressed number
of the friends of the town outside
of its limits with the conviction
that here was proper subject for
government aid, under the act pro-
viding for government construction
of model roads in each county under
proper conditions. Among the gen.
tlemen who have lent their influence
to the project may be mentioned
everybody's friend Bob Burbridge,
Secretary Schmahl, Commissioner
Cooley, and of course most import
ant of all. Congressman Volstead.
The construction of the road on the
plans proposed will give North Red
wood and Redwood Falls the only
easy highway to Redwood county
along the Minnesota, all of the 9TH
err crossing being attended by hills
as bad or worse than our present
North Redwood hill.
The county board has appointed
Commissioners Aune, McCorquodale
and Frederiksen to conduct hear
ing on the road petition asking for
the proposed new highways on
March 9th next.

SHERIFF GETS QUICK ACTION
Follows Overeoat Thief to Minneapolis
Locates and Arrests in Two Hours

Sheriff Schueller scored another
quick and clever stroke Of detective
work last Friday. In making the
early train for Minneapolis from the
Kahler House, Chas Christensen, a
Minneapolis fellow Of rather uncer-
tain antecedents, slipped off wearing
a pretty good overcoat belonging to
a travelling man, guest of the
house. When the latter came down
to breakfast he made known the loss
OF his coat and naturally took the
clerk to task. The somewhat dilap-
idated coat left by Christensen was
found. Sheriff Schueller was put on
to the case, and with the help of a
bar-keeper who knew Christensen,
very soon established the identity of
the old coat to his satisfaction, and
wired instructions to Sheriff Dreger
to have the man arrested at Mime
apolis. Not caring to take chances
on prompt action at the Minneapolis
end of the line, our sheriff boarded
the noon train to follow his telegram
in person. Nothing had been done
when he arrived at his destination,
but the sheriff by active inquiry and
alertness located Christiansen's home
and laid in wait for his return to
supper. In half an hour or SO the
man appeared wearing the borrowed
overcoat, and when confronted by
the big sheriff sheepishly yielded to
his invitation to return to Redwood
by the night train and exchange his
overcoat. Christensen protested
that he was too drunk in the early
morning to notice the coat he was
taking. This excuse did not serve
when he appeared before Judge Lau-
Idon next day. In default of $25 and
lcosts the culprit went to jail, but his
wife came down on the Afternoon
train and borrowed money from one
of her husbands chums here anG
released him from The bastile.

Redwood Falls Library Assn
The financial report of the library
as given above, ought to furnish
food for thought for the friends of
that institution. AS a community
priding itself on its progressiveness
and culture, it is not a thing to boast
of that we pay more than twice as
much for the two items Of fuel and
janitor services for the library than
we expend for new books and peri
odicals. The library has been eco
nomically managed - perhaps too
much so-but there is chance for
some Of its friends to establish new
record by organizing entertainment
and lecture courses, with volunteer
talent in part, and.making an appeal
to the public to subscribe enough to
insure an adequate fund for buying
books Of permanent worth. We
are confident that for such lauda-
BILE object able lecturers could be
secured at nominal cost. There
may be, more effective ways for rails
ing book fund. Any old way, so
that the book committee will have
about $500 a year to invest in the
