Should Stick to the Farm.

Archbishop John Ireland gave
some good advice while at Olivia
which is just as good for the farm
ers on this side of the river. We
copy from the Times: Il learn with
regret that some farmers Of Rem
vile county, as we'll as some in other
parts of the state, have a desire to
leave their farms for the big cities
and other places. Let me advise
against this. Why give up your
Independent farm life here for a
life of strife and worry in the large
city. You stuck to the farm when
it was worth but So an acre, why
leave it now when it is worth $50 an
an acre? Can't you appreciate the
contentment, and comfort and indie
pendence of the farmers life? Why,
if a king or the president should
come through here he could not
cross your farm without your per-
mission. You have every conven-
fence and comfort that you might
desire. God has been good to you
in Renville county. Don't make the
mistake to leave the farm"

Thomas Lowry's estate will pay to
the state an inheritance tax of SAL
1910 on property given to Mrs.
Lowry before his death. While there
is a question as to the validity of
the act of 1905 imposing an inheri-
lance tax on gifts made prior to
death, Mrs. Lowry was not willing
to take advantage of that condition
and voluntarily submitted to the
state officials a list of property Civ
en- to her and requested that the tax
be assessed in accordance with the
law. This payment will be the first
under section 5. chapter 288 of the
general laws Of 1905. It will also
be the largest Inheritance paid to
the state with the exception of the
estate OF Sarah P. Brown, which
ipaid $65. $50.

H. A. Baldwin returned from
business trip to Lemon, S. D.. late
last week, and was greatly impressed
with the signs of prosperity up that
way. He counted twenty-seven four
and six horse teams on the streets,
which had come there loaded with
the farmers produce.

Saturday to cheer on the champions
Of his alma mater on Northrup
Field. Messrs. Odekirk and Tink.

The meeting of the state teachers
last week is reported very success
full one and fully justified the change
made in the time Of calling the asso-
citation together from the holiday
season to October. Redwood county
was we'll represented, and retiring
president Webster saying that the
only trouble was the big Minneapol-
is auditorium was not big enough.
The new officers elected are E. M.
Phillips of Albert Lea president,
John M. Guise of St. Paul secretary,
and F. j. Sperry Of Mankato treas
urer.
A pretty we'll founded report has
been circulated the past week in
volving the good name of former
stenographer of the State Bank of
this city. The statement has been
published that the person in ques-
ton doctored the entries Of the
reports and accounts of the bank to
cover a shortage of about $1,000
which the employee is accused of
taking. The whole matter will un-
doubtly be sifted by the grand jury,
and the suspected person released or
put on trial. The GAZETTE deems
it only necessary to state that the
shortage is too small to in any way
affect the standing of the bank and
that it is greatly to be regretted
that any employee should be so fool
ish as to risk a ruined reputation
for money consideration. and espec-
tally so foolish as to suppose that
the theft would never be traced to
| its source.

A MISEa'S END.
Meanness Of M. VandIle and the Way
He fastened Hi Death,

NJ. Vandlle was chief magistrate at
Boulogne and by misery habits left a
fortune Of 100000. His usual diet
was bread and milk The bread cost
very little, and after eating his loaf at
home his habit was TO become his own
public milk inspector, whom as chief
magistrate be had the right to appoint
And So as he declared, to protect the
inhabitants from being imposed upon
by an inferior quality OF milk he took
his walk Immediately after eating his
loaf and demanded to taSt' the milk Of
every salesman he passed thus saving
himself from purchasing any. Misers
are generally strong mrn-they have to
be 50 in order 10 live lie Of priva-
tion--but eventually Nandilo, like 9TH
er misers, WAS seized with illness, and
the surgeons had to be called in. In
those days they bled their patients.
The surgeon asked V0ndile half a
livre for the operation. but the million
ahe ordered him at once cut Of his
sight and sent for the aputhecary. The
apothecary refused to cut the price
down, so Nandille sent FOR poor bar
Der, who undertook TO open a vein for
three sous time.
AYE, but" said this worthy econo-
mist, "how often, friend, will It be
necessary to bleed mcT
Three times"
And what quantity Of blood do you
intend to take each time|
Eight ounces"
"Wcll, but why can't you take the
whole twcnty-four ounces at once?
You want 10 make a job OF me, you
scoundrel, Here. sir; there are your
three sous. Take the twenty-four
ounces Immediately" The barber was
generous to obey. NJ. Vandille lost the
twenty-four ounces Of blood and died in
a few days, leaving all his vast treas
ures to the king, whom he made his
sole heir. Strand Magazine

The Oldest Bridge In Psris.

The Pont Notre Dame is the Oldest
bridge in Paris. 1t was first built in
1413 in the reign Of Charles W., but it
was carried away, together with the
houses which lined it, by ice foes
when the frost broke in 1899 A new
bridge was begun at once under the
direction Of Jean Joconde Of Verona
and was ready for traffic in 1907. On
that bridge stood the famous picture

The CAMPAIGN of Education

Those who have heard Senator Aid
rich, or who have read his faithfully re-
ported speeches on the subject Of cur
rency reform, cannot fail to have been
impressed with the Straightforward
ness manifested in discussing that intri-
cate problem. His frankness and lucid
'ity is calculated to disarm any suspicion
or prejudice that a hostile press has
sought to arouse, and it is a credit TO
the fairness Of the American people
that in every city where he has thus
far spoken he has generated the same
spirit of candor and consideration that
he himself has shown. Bringing before
the public a presentation Of the none
tary conditions anu systems abroad, he
affords his hearers a new breadth Of
view. When II comes to a specific for
curing the financial Ills known to exist
in our own country, he disclaims, for
himself and his colleagues, who have
been studying the matter. having
agreed upon any definite plan, but
having suggestions from the various
sections of the country.
The visit Of Senator Aldrich must
make people realize that the commits
sion. which he represents, is engaged
chiefly for the ~present'in a campaign
of education. In addition TO the utter
ances Of their spokesman, the commits
sion is planning the widespread eircu-
%latlon OF a great variety Of literature
designed 70 flood the whole subject
With the light Of u own and Euro
pean experience. In exchange for the
information which 1t has garnered for
the American nation. the commission
asks that competent judgment be forth.

Inexonsahle Indifference.

The vote on the three bond PROPOSE
lions submitted for popular ratification
OF rejection at the recent election In
Omaha shows an inexcusable indlfer-
ence on the part of. u people on sub
jects of real Importance to the commu-
nifty. These three propositions in
volved the issue of bonds in compare
lively small amounts, and the fact that
two Of them have been lost by a small
margin and one carried by an equally
small margin, is not the significant
feature.
The commentary on the listlessness
OF the voter comes in the small number
Of votes recorded. Less than 300
people out of more than $4,000 took
the trouble to vote one way or the
other. Three-fourths Of the voters
who went into the election booths reg
istered their choice for candidates for
office, but refused, or neglected, to say
yes or no on the bonds. True, the
questions depending on the voting of
these bond propositions raised no issue
in the campaign, but they had received
some attention In the public prints and
there was no organized opposition.
The principle of bond submission is
the same as that called for by the in
~itiative and referendum, and by the
direct legislation movement, but this
experience with our bond propositions
cannot be very encouraging to the adj
~vocates Of plebiscites on more compli-
Gated questions that cali for something
more than a mere yes or no.
