The Morton Enterprise takes a
shot at Secretary Schmahl for as
signing the printing of the constitu-
tional amendments according to the
letter of the law in three newspap-
ers in each county instead OF dlvld-
ing it among dozen or more In a
county. 1t occurs to us that the
secretary was elected TO obey the
law. In this case the law Up to the
time of the last session provided for
it's publication in only one paper IN
each county and imposed upon the
secretary of state the choice of such
paper. Perhaps there was too much
complaint Of favoritism under the
old law and the legislature made
the change to three papers In order
to relieve the secretary Of some of the
odium of making the choice of one
and getting called down by the ten
or twelve newspaper men left out in
the cold. Anyway the new law pro-
vides for greater publicity and
though we do not know which
papers are to get the plums in this
county, we take it for granted that
the distribution will be such as to
secure a much wider distribution of
the text of the amendments than
would be possible by publication in
one paper.

The death of ex-president Cleve-
land removes the only living expires
ident in this country and has called
out universal expressions Of appre-
citation for a greatly respected man
and citizen. It is generally conced-
ed that Mr.. Cleveland was man OF
natural honesty and that he was
capable of living up to his convic-
lions regardless of criticism or
favor. AS a writer or public speak
err we doubt that he has left much
that will be considered enduring lit
erature, but the lesson of his life
points to the conclusion that the
American people, who twice elected
Grover Cleveland president and have
given him high place in their es-
TEEN as private citizen, are ever
ready to pin their faith to men who
are naturally honest in thought and
fearless in act. 1t is we'll to honor
his record as a civil service reform
er at a time when horde Of hungry
office seekers were clamoring for
places, the more so because his dis
play of backbone cost him defeat in
his second campaign.

There is not much doubt now that
the Republican convention which
meets at the State capitol today will
nominate j. F. Jacobson. With
nearly 300 delegates instructed to
vote for him at Saturdays primar-
les, the probability of band wagon
stampede can be figured on at an
early stage of the balloting. Heat
wole, who has many good friends in
this immediate vicinity, only sue
ceeded in carrying two counties,
with Is delegates, so that his nomi-
nation is hardly possible. Young
secured the delegations from Blue
Earth and Bigstone counties. and
even the strong Scandinavian coun-
ty of Kandiyohi went for Young,
which with Steele, Stevens, Traverse
and Wilkin counties gave him liz
instructed delegates. It is generally
understood that as most Of the pres
ent state officers are serving their
first terms they will be re-nominat-
ed without opposition, with the ex-
ception of railroad commissioners,
who are likely to encounter stiff op-
position at least. We are satisfied
from the expression brought out at
the Wabasso convention that Jacob.
son is the first choice of more than
half of the voters of this county
and that there will be no trouble ir
electing him, while almost any other
candidate would lose the support
of the large jacobson element which
insists that Jacobson was unfairly
dealt with at the state convention
Of 1906. A popular candidate j;
the whole thing in Minnesota.

AS there is probably a division o
one paper.

AS there is probably a division of
sentiment in this county on the
question of county option, even
among Republicans. it was some
what unexpected that no voice was
raised last Thursday against the
declaration in the county platform
that our representatives in the leg
islature should work for the pass
age of a law providing that the
people in rural communities outside
of incorporated towns and villages
should have voice in regulating
the saloon traffic in the counties in
which they reside. Times are chang.
ing, and voters are beginning to see
the unfairness of the villages get
ting the revenue by licensing saloons
which are largely dependent upor
the farmers for their maintenance
and which majority Of the farmers
undoubtedly think should not be
either maintained or tolerated at all
1t was noted as significant fact las
Thursday, Immediately after the
convention, that instead Of the dele

Boys, Learn a Trade.

Forty dollars a month for bank
clerk, four dollars day for a skilled
workman. That is about the rate
of wages at the present time. And
yet you will find four bank clerks to
one skilled laborer. Every business
college is crammed to the limit with
young people who want to fit them
selves for a business course and who
will go out from school to take a
nine dollar week job. Every line
of skilled labor is calling for men at
wages that would make the gradu-
ate of the business college turn sick
at the contrast, and the men are not
Forthcoming. 1t is hard to persuade
boy to learn a trade as it is to per-
suade a politician to read his bible.
He prefers position at $40 month
to job twice that amount. What
is the reason? Are we fostering an
aristocracy of store clothes? Do the
young folks imagine that there is
some inherent elegance in an occu-
patton which they can follow in a
boiled shirt and starched collar
which is not be found in blue over
alls? Is it considered more fitting
for gentleman to wear silk neck
tie and big seal ring and be not
ed clerk or barber, than to wear a
blouse and overalls and be an Edison
or Micheal Angelo? Are we building
our dreams Of future magnifcence
on a pretty suit of clothes? Present
indications point too much in that
direction. And the pity Of it is that
the boy who starts in to do nice
work usually keeps right the same
level all his life, while the boy who
goes in at the bottom and learns the
drudgery often becomes the owner
Of the business in the end.-Ex.

The American nation has the re-
putation of wasting almost as much
of its resources as it uses. Facts are
often advanced to show that there is
much truth in such a statement.
A practical paper-maker recently
called attention to a few of the
sources of enormous waste when
speaking of the materials in Ameri-
cas- refuse heap which are worth
while considering as promising sub
stitutes for wood pulp.
The Northwest annually produces
million and a half tons of flax
stalks which are not now used for
anything. That amount of waste
remains after the Irvine makers take
all they want.
The farmers in the South burn or
pillow under 13 million tons of cot
ton stalks every year. That which is
plowed is not VIII oily lost for it en-
riches the soil to some extent, but
not so with what goes up in smoke.
Five hundred thousand tons of
fiber have been adhering to cotton
seed every year. 1t has been fed
to farm stock along with the seed
and has done the stock no good.
Cattle and sheep do not like the fiber
and the seed cake is better without
it. A machine has been invented,
which, it is claimed, will seperate
the lint from the seed. Paper MAX
ers think they can use it.
Nobody knows how many million
tons of cornstalks go to waste; but
in quality they are far ahead of cot
ton stalk. and it is believed they can
be made into paper, although it has
not yet been done on commercial
scale.
Thousands of acres Of wild hemp
grow in the southwestern part of
the country, particularly along the
Colorado river. It's only use now is
to shelter Jack rabbits and coyotes
but it has splendid fiber and tests
on small scale show that excellent
paper can be made from it.
i Paper making from straw is q
well-established industry. Book.
binders use thousands of tons Of
strawboard. The straw which goes
to waste in western wheat fields
would bring fortunes if made into
paper.
J, Lists Of fibrous or woody plant.
suitable for paper are almost with
out limit, but only a few may b.
had in quantity sufficiently large t.
be worth considering.
The time has not yet come when i
is absolutely necessary that substi
| tutes for pulp wood be found, but i
| is coming. The forests are still abb,
to furnish materials for paper, bu
they cannot continue to doso for ;
tgreat many years to come, at pres
ent rate of cutting and growth
4 Makers Of paper anticipate scare
slity Of pulp wood and it is this which
prompts the active search now 60
ing on for substites.

The Republican convention at
Wabasso expressed their approval
of the proposition to elect United
States senators by popular vote in
most unmistakable terms. The
average voter has no time for an
American house of lords or museum
of stuffed millionares.

walls by the Curlett Company of this
city. and it's painting in gray stone effect
have made the church a public improve
ment as well as a congregational improve
ment.
The interior has been altered throughout.
From basement to balcony the Wilmington
Cornice Company has constructed metal
walls and ceilings which under color Of
a creamy tint Of green have improved the
lighting effect Of the auditorium and the
other rooms. in contrast with the old dark
ceilings and walls, so much as to give
the impression that new windows have
been constructed.
