Courtship in ireland

An Irish boy marries when he has
rid house, and an Irish girl just
when she pleases. Sometimes she
SO pleases when yet her years are
few; at other times she is content to
wait upon wisdom. In the latter
case, of course, she makes wise
choice; but in the former almost al
ways a lucky one-for luck is the
guardian angel of the Irish.

pleaded that she would grant Laur-

A recent publication of the list of
Minnesota first and second class ru-
raj schools by counties shows that
Redwood still leads the state with
one exception-Ottertail, with over
SO, 00O.population, having eight more
first class and 16 more second class
schools than Redwood, with less than
10000 population. Redwood county
is credited with eight semi-grade, So
first class and IA second class rural
schools, with Renville l, 16, IL; Vel
low Medicine l, 4, 7, Lyon 5, II, ID,
Cottonwood 2. 6, z, and Brown A,
Is, 9 semi-graded, first and second
class rural schools. No better evil
dence of the superior quality of the
citizenship of Redwood county could
be furnished than this comparison
with adjoining counties, some of
which have more population and
more wealth than our own, but none
of which approximates this county
in the matter Of frst-class schools.
AS first class rural schools receive
S105 each from gthe state, second
class $40 and semi-graded $3.50, the
total of state aid received by these
schools over others not so graded is
1857, a premium on excellence
worth going after. But after all,
the one point to brag over is that
the rising generation of citizens in
Redwood county is getting the ben
eft Of first-class instead of ordinary
teaching, and that the people are
backing Supt. Bebermeyer's efforts
to keep up this record.

The resignation of President
Northrup of the State University,
after "a years of continuous service
is universally regretted throughout
this state. The board of regents of
that institution have refused to &C
cept the resignation with the hope
that sufficient pressure may be
brought to bear upon the revered
head of our state university to in
duce him to reconsider his action.
1t would be difficult if not impossi-

of the features of the line will un-

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

Reading in the city papers of the
crowd, one is tempted to call them
mobs, of shoppers storming the
stores and jostling and crowding
each other; of frenzied groups of
men gambling on change or in the
throes of some political struggle for
advantage in coming legislatures,
and one is tempted to think that the
Christmas season is but a mad and
selfish rush to get something some
body else wants before it is all gone.
If this was all there was to late
December it would hardly be worth
the while and the pessimist would
be nearly right in thinking that the
world was so badly out of joint as to
be worth hardly the saving hol-
low, corrupt and evil globe.
These are but the froth and bub-
bIes where the shallow waters, with
out depth, beauty or value, flow.
They give no hint of the depths of
joy and hope flowing through these
shorter days of the year.
Great nations, brushing aside as
inconsequential the shrill-voiced ad-
vocates of hate and ,distrust, bent on
fomenting trouble in each, and COM
ing together to settle differences and
adjusting causes Of friction so that
each may respect and trust the 9TH
err; mothers, sacrificing that their
boy or girl at school may catch the
wider vision of usefulness and power
denied to them; nurses, bringing to
hopeless, despairing ones new b, pe
and cheer; busy men, pausng to
help some worthy cause along for
the common good; charity, more
open-eyed, wise and tender than ever
before; all these are the signs and
tokens of that true Christmas spirit
from which COMES hope, faith and
greater siren g,h
And the outlook is not so hopeless
for the greater movement for uni
versal peace among men and ma
tions. Germany, supposed to be al
the command of her militant mon
arch, curbs him with no gentle hand
when his voice threatens the peace
his people love, exactly as our own
nation would do were our chief rul-
err to strive to lead the nation to a
causeless war. At the command of
Europe the warning element in the
Balkens have hushed for time at
least their clamnr before it should
embroil the continent in the horrors
and waste of war. Despite the
clamor of such as the man who sunk
the Merrimac and kissed his way
from sea to sea. America and Japan
are at one.

first echoed among the rounded hills

NO MINNESOTA INSURGENTS

While Wisconsin has been torn
with a fierce internal struggle be-
tween the LaFollette men and the
stalwarts, ending in the triumph of
the former; while Iowa has had a
similar contest in Republican ranks
between Cummins and the old line
leaders and South Dakota has seen
sharp though shorter struggle be-
tween Gov. Crawford and Senator
Kittridge and his friends, and North
Dakota although with no one leader
so strongly in evidence in a fight
against the Spoilers, Minnesota
has never had this kind of warfare
within the Republican party.
Yet the Republican party has been
defeated in three straight contests
and does not seem to have vitality
enough to elect any man governor.
This, too, in spite of the fact that
the normal Republican vote of the
state is as great as any of it's neigh
bors. In those states, notWithstand-
ing the fact that the party was split
in twain, the party was able to elect
the stalwart when he won in a con-
vention or the insurgents when his
hour of triumph came within the
party. North Dakota appears to be
the exception, as Gov. Burke won
out, but his election was not caused
or at least not much so caused by the
fight between the Republican fac
lions as by something else.
Our woes are caused by the fact
that no one man has of late been
strong enough to impress himself
upon his party. We lack the man
who can appeal to the imagination
and command the loyalty of the Re-
publican masses; the Democrats
have won because they possessed
such a man. Even if the price of
such leadership led to stalwart and
insurgent group within the party, it
would seem that the Republicans
need some such strong dominating
personality to give it cohesion
enough to win.
If the only way to get back into
life is to have stalwart and insur-
gent element, The Gazette is willing
to sacrifice itself; it will insurge or
it will not but it still waits for some
leader who can command follow
ing before it begins.
This paper hopes that we may
have regency instead of a Dictator
ship; that men who care for the par
ty may get together and sink per-
sonal differences and past grudges
and unite on a platform that may
appeal to the voters of the state, and
on candidates who can command the
respect of the party and thus pull
the party out of the muck of de-
spond it so folornly founders in.
There has been a shrewd suspicion
in the last two campaigns that a
great number of the so-called lead
ers were not acting in entire good
faith and were rather willing to see
defeat come, hoping that next time
lightning might hit nearer home.
None Of these can ever hope to win
a battle.i Sooner or later and in
some way the party will find itself
and when it does it will reward only
those who have been faithful in the
days of defeat and disrster.

Flower With No Menace on Its Stem

Holland is credited with having pro-

thornless rose. Such prodigy was
plucked from the garden Of Mrs. w.
J. Beggs at Thirty-eighth avenue and

The flower has the perfume OF the
sweetest rose, but the stem can be
handled by persons who have the ten

Mrs. Beggs lived for years near the
home Of Luther Burbank, the mature
magician" Of California. She studied
his methods and made up her mind
that she would accomplish what he so
far had not been able to do.
Mrs. Beggs says she has q secret all
her own Of training the rosebush so
that 1t viii bring forth beauty and
loneliness without the hitherto ineyita-

ever. she promises to take the world
into her confidence, and the thorn viii
