Thief River Falls I'm Line.

Thief River Falls, MINI. The
city council has passed a resolution
which calls for a special election on
July IL, when citizens will be called
upon to decide whether or not they
will take advantage of the law
passed by the 1907 legislature,
which provides that the city council
may purchase or build a local tele-
phone exchange. A straw vote on
this proposition carried almost un-
animously, and in accordance with
this action the city council will now
permit the taxpayers to determine
whether they will buy the present
exchange or build a new one.
The city owns its electric plant
and waterworks and is committed
to ownership of public utilities
whenever it promises to return an
income to the taxpayers. as do the
enterprises mentioned above.

Trust Has Difficulty to Control.

The telephone company has in
creased the local phone rates at
Willmar and now the citizens are
trying to get together on plan tc
establish an independent phone sys-
tenn. It looks to US as tho the tele-
phone business is one that is too
easily handled by local mmunities
for the trusts ever to get complete
control. .-Litchfeld News Ledger.

Man and his Pride.

He struggled along TIL he stood 81 the
top.
On the peak that we call Success"
And he gave little heed. nor even would
stop
At the Org Of a soul In distress.
But proud of his strength and proud OF
his gold
And proud OF the fame he had won.
He died In his pride when his story Was
told
And the toll Of his day was done.
The papers recorded the facts OF his life
The world condescendsd 20 pause
Men spoke OF the part he had played In
the strife
And voted him formal applause.
Now his name is forgot and his fame 10
forgot
And OF all the professions Who wend
Through the valley OF shadows none vis-
its the spot
To murmur: This man was my friend"

To relieve the worst forms OF
Rheumatism, take a teaspoonful of
the following mixture after each meal
and at bedtime
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half
ounce; Compound Kargon. one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla, three ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists,
and are easily mixed by shah ing
them we'll In a bottle. Relief is
generally felt from the first few
doses.
This prescription forces the clog
ged-up, inactive kidneys 10 filter
and strain from the blood the poison.
Gus waste matter and uric acid,
which causes Rheumatism.
As Rheumatism is not only the
most painful and torturous disease
but dangerous to life, this simple
recipe will no doubt be greatly
valued by many sufferers here at
home, who should at once prepare
the mixture to get this relief.
II is said that person who would
take this prescription regularly, a
dose or two daily. or even a few
times a week, would never have
serious Kidney or Urinary disorders
or Rheumatism.
Cut this out and preserve il.
Good Rheumatism prescriptions
which really relieve are scarce, in

Will Make Cheaper Goods.

Cheaper shoes, clothes, window
glass. lumber and paper will be
among the public's profits when the
Payne tariff bill is passed by con-
gress. The ideas o. the tariff franz
ers are being reconciled and the re-
vision is TO respond 10 the popular
demand for a reduction.
At this time the committee on
ways and means is practically agreed
10 a so per cent reduction in steel
schedules except billits. The duties
on woolens will be reduced. The
wooden mills are no longer depend
ent on protection and the pric. Of
cloth is too high. the leaders think.
The plate and window glass prices
will be reduced and lumber will be
put on the free list.
Wood pulp and print paper will be
materially reduced. and there is a
strong chance OF their being admit
ed duty free. The house bill will
include provision for free hides
A reduction on shoes and leather
goods will also be reported in the
bill.
There is not much encouragement
for the coffee importers in the senti-
ment for the coffee tax. Chairman
Payne is still strongly in favor Of the
tar as a revenue producer. He is
running counter TO the opinions Of a
majority OF the house and the ma
jority Of the committee.
Mr.. Payne is now convinced that
the country wants the tariff reduced.
and he is working to secure the re-
duction in the schedules. Dalzell
and Fordney Of Michigan and Gaines
Of West Virginia are still fighting the
reductions but with little effect.
Representative Crumpacker is lin
ing up with Payne. as is Representa-.
tive Boutelle. President Taft and
Speaker Cannon are with the revis.
ionists.
II is expected that the bill will be
ready for presentation to the house
within FIVE days after congress meets
on March Is.

The Louisville Times hands out
this wise and timely advice "In-
stead of Gov. Wilson advocating
revision of Kentucky's tax laws so
as to increase the revenue in the
State Treasury, II he would stay at
home and try to earn his own salary,
and II Lieut.. Cox was not compelled
to fill the Governors Office about
half the time and draw from the
State Treasury a salary nearly equal
to Wilson, there might not be so
much need Of increasing our taxes.
When the Lieutenant Governor fills
the chief executives place he draws
for the time the salary the Governor
would draw. Still the Governor
draws for full time. Let Wilson
practice economy a little. Two men
drawing Governors salaries is too
much The Democrats built new
Capitol and went out Of Office with
full Treasury at the present rate Of
taxation. Again would we empha'
size, Let Wilson leave off trottine
