OF course l am pretty sure he
didn't impose on that council-law-
yer script or no script-but I am
curious to know if Dave Tallman
really thinks he did, or if he is just
making a grand-stand play to keep
up the courage Of the N. w. Co. in
its bluffing game towards the city
and come to think of it, Tallman
is an alderman yet, l believe.
u sincerely hope the council will
not back out of its determination
to test this whole telephone muddle
until the bottom of it is reached
let the consequences of a full in
vestigation before an impartial
judge be what it may.
In the meantime let steps be
taken to open another central in the
city where all the country lines can
connect their lines free of charge,
and be operated by their own ope-
rator. That would give the neces-
sary central connection betweenall
the country lines, and if anybody
here in the city wants to phone
from the country central he should
have the privilege to have it. The
city council might donate the ST.
600 it holds in trust for the people
from the Tri-State for that purpose.
Let me repeat. What we need
here is country line central with
an operator under the control of
the country lines. The farmers
have been asking for that for years
nothing else will satisfy them
and they are entitled to have it,
and we must see that they have il
before long.

Messrs. John o. Erickson, Emil
johnson, Victor Norling. Richard
Freedholm and Ernest Freed, of
Svea, and Andrew Ray Of Willmar,
returned from the Mile Laos Lake
country the last part of last week,

companied by Lewis johnson Of
Willmar and Albert L. Norling of
Svea, who represent a land COM
pany which holds hardwood timber
lands on the east side of Mile Laos
lake.
Mr.. Norling is himself the owner
of an extensive tract of land in that
locality, and he is at present hav-
ing a crew of men cutting cord
wood. logs for timber, etc., for
which he expects to find a ready
market now when the railroad il
being built through that country.
He spends most of his time up
there, but occasionally he comes
down and picks up a few buyers
and brings them up there, and he
says that he has no trouble in sell
ling land to them, as the lands are
covered with good hardwood tim
Der, and the soil is good. He says
he will cheerfully give information
regarding these lands to any one
desiring such. His post Office is
East Wood, MINI. Such informa.
tion may also be had from Lewis
johnson at Willmar. They are
planning an excursion to this part
Of the state to leave Willmar or

Objectionable qualities of the oil are

important of which we list below.
c. o. D. TABLETS are easy to take
inasmuch as they have no repulsive

hard to take because of it's disagree
able odor and taste.
c. o D. TABLETS never cause that
rising in the throat of a sickening
'tishy'' taste or gas such as very Of
ten follows the taking of the plain

c. o. D. TABLETS never upset the
stomach or disturb digestion. The
continued use of plain cod liver oil is
certain to nauseate the stomach and
seriously retard the processes of diges-
ton.
G. o. D. TABLETS not only posses
all the valuable principles of cod liver
oil but they also contain the Hypo-
phosphites of Lime and Soda and a
sufficient quantity of that gentle laxa-
tive, Licorice, to carry off any excess
of oil should you take more of the

In our last issue we stated:
For National Committeeman,

tion with credit to party,to State,
and to himself. He is master
of organization, able, alert, far
seeing, loyal and unselfish. He
has, as a party manager, few
equals; no superiors." !"
A safe test of any mans fitness
for promotion is duty well and
faithfully done in other posi-
tions. Mr.. Thatcher managed the
legislative campaign for the Re-
publican party in the memora-
BILE election of 1907. There was
handful only of Republicans in
the General Assembly elected in
1905. There is now-the hand and
head of the Hon. M. ii. Thatcher
very visible in the transforma-
tion,-a solid phalanX of sixty
five Republican Legislators at
Frankfort or very nearly half of
the total one hundred and thir-
ty-eight.
Mr.. Thatcher made the fight
against strong odds. He had to
overcome a most lniquitOus ger
rymander and wrest success from
an unscrupulous Democratic ma
chine almost immovably en-.
trenched. Victory after victory
he snatched from the jaws of de-

= Daniel Come to Judgment

The security of the republic
rests on its judiciary. Good laws
may be passed by legislatures,
but good laws, without efficient
magistrates to enforce their pro-
visions, are mere sounding brass
and tinkling cvmbl. The Re-
ligious Telescope tells:
Judge Kennesaw Mountain
lands, of the Federal District
Court, is distinguishing himself
by making the law a terror to
evil doors, not only in assessing
the celebrated twenty-milliOn
dollar fine on the Standard Oil
Company, but by laying hitherto
unheard of penalties upon the
viOlators of the Federal liquor
laws. In his court at lndianap-
oils he recently handed down
decisions as follows: A man who
had been selling whisky on which
he did not pay the government
tax was fined 900 and sent to
the LeavenwOrth Prison for fif-
teen months. Another liquor
man was fined similar amount,
and sent to jail for six months.
Two women who had been con-
Quoting a fake matrimonial bu-
reau were fined and sent to pris-
on for eight months. The pun
ishment inflicted heretofore by
judges has only amounted to
light fines, which had no terrors
for the lawless liquor sellers.
The Jail sentences are "the
teeth, - in the law which brings
them to realizing sense of their
crime -
Do illegal trusts flourish? Do
organized combinations employ
and profit by illegal methods?
Look at the Bench. Does crime
run rampant in any community?
Look at the Judges. Do bosses
and corruptionists rule the roost
any where? Look at the men
elected to enforce the law.
The country needs Judges of the
Judge landis calibre and charac-
ter serving on every tribunal,
from the humblest magisterial
bench to the highest court in the
nation.

Saved Lincoln's Life.

Harry Fletcher Kenney, for
mer Superintendent of the Phil
adelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ington Railroad Company, who
is credited with having saved
the life of President Lincoln
when there was plan on foot to
assassinate him in this city, is
dying of pneumonia.
The day after President Lin
coin raised the flag over the State
House he started on his journey
back to Washington. Rumors
of threats to kill Mr.. Lircoln had
been rife for several week pre-
vious, and extra precautions were
taken to prevent any injury to
him.
When all was ready for the
train bearing Mr.. Lincoln to
start, Kenny ordered the tele-
graph wires between this city
and Washington cut, so that no
communication could be had be-
tween the murderers.
Then, suspecting that posi-
bly, the engineer of the train
which was to carry the President
might be in league with the as
sassins. Mr.. Kenney called him
into the office. He told the en-
gineer that the first coach con
tained number of important
Stale paper, which were to he
delivered intact at Washington,
and ordered him to see that no
one entered the car.
This precaution was taken, and
when Washington was reached
