Notice to Parents ana Others.

1t seems that there are quite a
number of people who are not vet
familiar with the new Compulsory
Education law that was passed bv
the Minnesota legislature last winter.
For the purpose of reaching this class
the following is written:
There are few parents who feel
that it is necessary for their children
to stay out OF school for short time
during the potato season for the pur.
pose of picking up potatoes.
Parents should understand that in
every case of this kind it is necessary
to first secure the consent of the
school board or the superintendent OF
schools. If this consent is not first
obtained parents lay themselves liable
to fine of not exceeding $50, or i'm
prisonment in the county jail for a
period not exceeding 30 days.
a penalty is also imposed upon
those who hire boys to go out and
pick potatoes. In cases of this kind
they should first make sure that the
boy has been excused by the school
board.
The intent of this law is to keep
boys and girls in school who ought
to be in school.
I believe, too, that the disposition
OF the school board is to be perfectly
fair in the enforcement of this law and
in cases where it is necessary for chill
dren to stay out of school for short
time to grant permits.
J. G. Marshall, Superintendent.

French women are noted, among
other things, for the part they play in
politics. Unlike American or English
women, they do not congregate in
halls or on the street corners and
clamor for franchise or threaten to
overthrow the government-they
would not vote if given an opportuni-
ty. You hear of no suffragette move
ment in France. The French woman
is an adept in the art of diplomacy
and gains the end desired by charm
and personal influence. TO her ma
chinations has been due the dissolu-
ton of many a cabinet and the defeat
or victory OF many a candidate for
Office. Here's pointer for our
suffragettes.

Peary's ostentation and bragga.
docio will not improve his chances OF
being recognized as the discoverer
of the north pole. His uncalled for
abuse of Cook, who appears to be
telling a straightforward story of his
adventure, places him in bad light.
We shall continue to believe that Cook
reached the pole and that Peary did
not until conclusive evidence to the
contrary is produced.

In order to assure the safety of the
Detroit ball team when it plays a
series of games at Philadelphia TWO
hundred policemen will be daily on
guard at the grounds. This has been
found necessary from tho fact that
the manager of the Detroits has re.
ceived a number of letters threaten.
ing violence to his team when il
appears on the diamond. This is
certainly a nice state of affairs where
a baseball team has to be guarded
like a Russian car.

With decent permanent grounds and
buildings we would have the best
county fair in the state here in Prince
ton. The large crowds in attend dance
at the fair last week proves the truth
OF this assertion. A move should be
made towards getting permanent
grounds and erecting neat buildings
thereon. It does seem as if our pub
lic-spirited citizens would get together
and each give in proportion to his
means there would not be much diff
Guilty in providing the necessary funds
to secure permanent grounds and
erecting substantial buildings.

In all probability G. G. Dinehart,

Ryota Hara, chief engineer of the
city of Yokohama, who has been
visiting the twin cities with. the dele

foolish move, especially from a
financial standpoint, for Minneapolis
to pipe in water from Mile Laos

could be so easily filtered by the slow
sand process. This process, he says,
is used in Japan and has proved
highly satisfactory. It removes all
animal and vegetable matter and
renders the water perfectly pure.

A man with a bullet embedded in his
brain has been discharged as cured
from the Casualty hospital in Wash

effects from the presence of the bullet
and do not believe the man will suffer

JOHN ALBERT JOHNSON.


All that is mortal Of the best be-
loved and most popular ofpsM inne-
sofa s chief executives now reposes in
the little: cemetery in st. Peter, the
town where he first saw the light OF
day. After brave struggle for life,
despite the best medical skill and
surgery and earnest prayers Of
thousands for his restoration to
health and strength, the end came at
an early hour on Tuesday morning
at st. Mary's hospital in Rochester. III
The story Of John A. Johnson's life
reads like a romance; it has been told
and retold until it is familiar to
almost every man, woman and child
in the state.
I have known him as editor of the
st. Peter Herald, as state senator, as
an opponent in a bitter political cam
paign and as governor, and have
never known aught to his discredit.
It was the campaign of 1904, when he
was first elected governor, that
brought him into prominence. I do
not care to dwell upon that campaign.
Suffice it to say that, years ago I be-
came thoroughly convinced that John
A. johnson was not responsible for a
single one of the vile calumnies of
which I was the victim in that hotly-
contested fight. And right here I
wish to remark that, not word was
ever uttered or penned by me in that
campaign that could by any stretch
of the imagination be construed as re-
fecting upon the personal character
! of John A. Johnson.
He was elected governor by a
small majority in 1904, reelected by
ten times greater majority in 1906,
and was chosen for third term in
1908.
His charming personality, his natu-
raj ability, his eloquence, and his
astute political advisers all contribut-
ed to his phenomenal political success.
He bound his friends to him with
bands of steel as it were.s No man in
public life in Minnesota ever had
such warm place in the affections
of the people, regardless of party
affiliations, as John A. Johnson.
He made an excellent chief execu-
tive. There is little to condemn and
much to commend in his career. as
governor. .s,p.,.,s.,,
He had become a national figure
and had he lived in all human proba-
bility he would have been his party IS
standard bearer in the campaign of
1912, and might have reached the goal
of his ambition-the presidency. No
living man could have carried his
own state against him.
But he was cut down in the flower
of his manhood, just as he was enter
ing upon the threshold of his greater
political career. Perhaps it is for
the best. Had he lived he might have
been subjected to humiliating political
defeats. He passed off the stage at
the zenith of his great popularity.
His untimely death is mourned in
every household in Minnesota, and
the heartfelt sympathy of all goes out
to the devoted partner of his Joys and
his sorrows-Mrs. Johnson. Nav
kind heaven comfort her in her great
bereavement. r. G.. ID.
