The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1909-03-25

The legislature seems to be warming
up, if the howl from the democratic
senator's means anything. Ortonville

Bill Doesn't Care q Rap.
There is only one subject in the
world upon which Mr.. Bryan has no
opinion. he doesn't care whether the
people fix March or April for his
Inauguration. Either will suit per-
ly.-Duluth Herald.

Pease is Skeptical.
The Union refuses to be mislead
again on the present street car agita-
tion, until it sees a good prospect of
success. This paper has been fooled
too many times to waste time or space
on any project.--Anoka Union.

The Real Proof of Principles.
The real proof of principles is not
what the pen writes in a salutatory
address, but what the types say day
after day and week after week. If
time shows that publication is able,
honest, just, candid, fair and digni-
fed, the public will find it out and the
reward will come.-Mary McFadden.

Too Much Commission
A bill has been introduced into the
house to provide for commission to
appoint the janitors and clerks needed
by the legislature. The legislators
should look out or some one will be
proposing a commission to make the
laws for them.-Evening Pioneer
Press.

Makes Benedicts of Them
1t is fact that two rural routes
have their starting point from Ogilvie.
1t is also fact that the two carriers
we're trotting along in single blessed
ness at the time of their appointment,
but have both since then become
Benedicts.. More routes, more we'd
dings.-Ogilvie Sentinel.

"Respectable" Blind Pigs
Osakis voted out the saloons at the
last election and the Review says
people can drink buttermilk. Butter
milk is a poor substitute for spiritus
frumenti, which is now coming into
Evansville in the original package,
and then you know there are respect
able places ~ where you can get
your drinks. Evansville Enterprise.

Prediction Promises Forgotten
Representative Miller of the 9Th
district who defeated Bede on the anti
Cannon issue voted for Joe on the first
ballot. Cannon may be all right but
Miller voted all wrong or else his con-
stituents had shrived him of his pre-
election VOWS. It was a bad break for
the first one. It is the same Cannon
but not the same Miller. Rush CITY

Franks Familiarity With the Word.
Frank Days paper says "President
Taft's cabinet spells corporal
t-i-o-n-s." Move to the head of the
class, Frank. Any boy who can spell
that word Sin the dark'' without try
ing the little fellows out, has nature
streaked with corporate influence and
shows signs of being rocked in cor
poration cradle at some date in the
past.-Le Sueur News.

Granite Men Protest.
The st. Cloud granite producers
are protesting against the removal or
lowering of the duty on granite. The
great difference in wages paid in this
country and in Europe, together with
the low cost of transportation by
water, makes it almost impossible for
American producers to compete with
the old countries unless they reduce
wages-which is not deisr able. The
granite workers must be skilled work.
men, and are entitled to good wages,
especially as there is for many of
them a long winter vacation. The
Minnesota senator's and congressman
should use their efforts to protect an
industry that means so much to the
granite business of the United States,
and especially of Minnesota. The
new bill reduces the duty one-half.
