Tomorrow, March 4'h, sees the
end Of the Roosevelt administra.
tioD, and with the stepping down
of the President to make way for
Mr.. Taft, the critics of the form
er's official conduct will be point
ing out his errors. We have been
aud -,lII are great admirer of
MI. RnseyeIt, but we cannot ad
nit that his incuml,ency has been
without error. To our mind he
has made only two mistakes that
will severely reflect upon the other
wise good record be has maintain
ed. His first great error, commit
ted early in his administration,
was when he excused his friend
and former secretary of the navy,
Paul Morton, from the respon-l
h'Iity of illegal rebntlng while
Morton WAS vice president of the
Santa Fe Railway. His other grea,
mistake was his c"nsent to the alb
sorption IF the Tennessee C"al aud
Iron Co. by the Steel Trust about
a year ago. We believe however
that both these errors were com
mi'ted by the President with the
hest intentions toward the people.
He is man who acts upon his I'M
pulses (a"d these impulses are gen
orally good), and such a man is
bound to make mistakes in the
course of his career. Their most
regrettabIe feature is the mitigat.
ing effec, they will have upon Mr..
Roosevelt's anti trust policy. Had
he said when it was shown that
Paul Morton was tangled up in re p
batting intrigues, that Mr.. Morton
should be considered no better
than any other illegal rebater; or
bad he held up bis hand to check
J. Pierpont Morgan and his steel
trust from swallowing a competi-
tor, that the trusts combine might
be 80 much more restricting, Mr..
Roosevelt's administration would
pass into history with untarnished
lustre. But notwithstanding these
regrettab!e errors, Mr.. Roosevelt
will be known as one of the great
Presidents. His was the great
mission to inaugurate the policy OF
making amenable to the laws OF
the country the big commercial
pirates a ID ''malefators of wealth, n
Whose offences had until then been
:esxaedsd - Z conventional matter.

Swedish Village at State Fair.

In its search for innovations for
the fiftieth annual Minnesota state
fair, the board Of managers has SET
tied upon a Swedish village as the
most novel and most attractive
feature available and has entered
into contracts with representatives
Of various Swedish societies in the
State by which a Swedish village
somewhat suggestive of the Chica-
go worlds fair will be installed on
machinery hill.
The new arrangement of the
grounds will leave the tract of land
just east of the mile track upon
which the Sisseton Sioux were en-
camped last year and whose village
was visited by over $4,000 persons
during the last state fair. 1t is on
this site that the Swedish societies
will have their village, an enclosure
of some five acres.
Everything in the way of Scandi-
navian attractions and amusements
will here be offered state fair Wis.,
itors. There will be folk dancers,
singers, dramatic performances by
artists directly from the other side,
Swedish college bands, Swedish
cafes, the famous John Ericsson ex-
hibit, popular Swedish dialect COM

ers, a grand general portrayal of
peasant life in Sweden with special

Volunteers Tor he street Fair.

Quite a number Of boys turned
out last night in response to call
for volunteers to drill for the street
fair. There were not enough for
two companies, however, as planned
at first, and unless more boys show
up at the next meeting, tomorrow,
Thursday night, there will be only
one company. Those who did meet
up seemed very enthusiastic about
the project, and with a very few
exceptions they went thru the few
movements given them with a will
ing spirit.
The details regarding the cost of
the outfit and the time for drilling
have not yet been fully decided, but
the committee in charge hopes to
have everything arranged by the
end If the week.
Every boy who wants to become
a member of the drill squads must
be at the Bonde Hall promptly at
7:30 tomorrow night. A few new
movements will be tried, and un-
less you want to join the awkward
squad the first thing, you will have
to be there.

A Willmar friend of the stuff
that makes Milwaukee famous pur-
chased a keg of it on Saturday from
one of our dealers to take it home
for keep sake. Awaiting the even
ing freight, he deposited his treas
ure into a shady place at the depot
and attended to other business. A
party from Pennock, who did not
approve of it to see the goods go to
Willmar, appropriated the same and
placed it on their wagon. While
they were taking refreshments,
mischievous boys, who had watched
the whole proceedings, pumped an
empty full of water and exchanged
it for the real stuff. The two un-
suspecting but happy then drove to
Pennock. There was quite a de-
mand for illustrated postals during
the following day.-Raymond News

cure Hon. Knute Nelson, Gov.

A special feature of the Swedish
village will be a registration sys-
tenn by which all visitors will be
permitted and requested to register
their present address and also the
place of their nativity, or the
province from which their immedi-
ate family came. Use of this sys-
tenn by the thousands of visitors
will enable many to relocate friends
or relatives whose addresses have
long been lost and will undoubtedly
result in many happy reunions.

And now comes news from Swe-

Eleven hundred and twenty-five
shots to the hour from gun that is

that gun is smokeless and kickless,
it is convenient to handle and but

subtraction from the demerits of

thruout the United States. This is
not only the first school of it's kind
established in this country, having
been organized twenty-one years

of agriculture. Many states have
sent delegations of officials to Wis

similar schools may be established
by them.
