Mr.. Craig's lead is 61.43, while at the

gain of over five votes.
OF the votes given from the seven

they are from the county chairmen

are approximately 6correct. Lincoln

cordial spirit with which Miss Nellie
Witherington yielded the prize to Miss
Eunice Edmundson upon the traction
al error as above, and the latter has
presented the 500 in gold to the Library
of the High School to be expended i n
the purchase of new books, which is
indeed very generous.

A STATEMENT.

In looking over tue records of the
High School for the last two years, /
find that an error in the ninth grade
records gave the Veil prize for the girls
to the wrong person. I made the error
last year in finding the averages for the
year., and those averages were accepted
this year as correct and were not ex-
amined again. The correction of the
error gives the prize to Miss Eunice
Edmundson instead of Miss Nellie
W~itherington by 1-63 of a point. and
he prize has been Rewarded accord
ingly.
This statement is made in Justice to
all persons concerned. I regret very
deeply, for the sake of both young
ladies, hat the error should have been
made.

STATE FAIRS AND POLITICS.

To object to the turning Of the
opening of great state fair like
that in Minnesota from it's natural
agricultural and industrial channels
to political purposes, is entirely with
in the bounds Of reason and good
judgment. The Minnesota state fair
is not political institution, and we
imagine the people of the state who
contribute to its support do so from
motives of state pride and expedi-
ency and not that the crowd that
gathers at its opening may be made
the object of a political harangue.
An address by any public man On
non-political topics would have been
entirely proper and in good taste.
An address by candidate for office.
that smacks of extreme partianship
Is in extremely bad taste and does
not deal in good faith with all the
people Of the state, of varying creeds,
that made such an assemblage pos
sib1e. IT,.
We do not know whether Mr.. Bry.
an was invited to make a political
speech or whether he took advan-
tage of the crowd to hararangue
them on political and partisan topics
If the former, we think the persons
who invited him overstepped the
bounds of propriety. And if the Int.
ter, then we think Mr.. Bryan's Sc
lection of a time and place for :
political address was il1-judged. II
( either event, we think the choosing
of this occasion for Democratic
stump speech is open to just ant
proper criticism.

sparks thrown off by an engine used
to haul logs Monday last, the fire
quickly spread to the heavy timber a
mile west of the north grove of the

in the district quickly gathered and
they together with the settlers, many

employees Of the Big Trees grove,
have fought the flames every night.
They have thus far saved the grove
but have been unable to prevent the
fire gaining headway in a direction
that tonight menaced the giant Sc.

Conflicting reports have been re-
ceived here as to the extent of the
, damage done by the fire up to this
time. The first point of telephone
communication with the grove is

and from this place late today word
was sent that the fire had reached

wind, was threatening to wipe out

but the dead giants will probaly be

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE PROVINCE OF A NEWSPAPER

The responsible newspapermen Of
the western part Of the state were
guests of the city Wednesday, and
are to be congratulated upon their
coming together for an exchange of
ideas and better understanding of
the best means to help along the
cause of Republicanism in the state.
We believe the newspapermen are
representative of their communitis,
and are quick to see and understand
public opinion. For that reason
their counsel is valuable and their
cooperation will be helpful to the
campaign managers,
The newspaperman, in the course
of his business, does, much toward
the education of the general public
along lines Of current interest. The
Influence of well edited and care
full newspapers is broad and lasting,
and it is for the newspapermen
themselves so to conduct their col
umns that they shall be of the great
est possible interest. ... ..,
Fairness, consistency, propriety in
criticism, knowledge of public poll
cies and events-these are important
factors in the making of an influen-
tiaI editorial column. "
The Republican newspapermen of
the state have many good texts for
their editorial columns in the history
of the party, the record of its leaders,
and the honesty and wisdom of it's
platform. Surely the record of the
party under such leaders as Lincoln,
Grant, Mckinley and Roosevelt, the
fact that it is always abreast Of the
times, always quick to respond to the
demands of the people, always wise
and careful in it's economic and in
dustrial policies, is good and square
enough to bring every Republican
into line for the national and state
ticket in this state. And the Repub-
! lican newspapermen can do much to
help the party cause in the coming
election. r.. p.
