association will sell the tickets and

including the renting of the hall and
advertising. The two teams are doing
this as their share IN the securing of
the much. wanted athletic park. A
large number of people should after d
this game as it undoubtedly will prove
q hard struggle for supremacy between
the teams. and besides this those at
tending will be helping to make an
inclosed athletic park ana good base
ball games during the. coming season a
certainty. The college team was
defeated by the city team in q
previous game. but since then have
made such q decided Improvement in
their playing, and having since added
some players that have shown up to
good advantage. that a close and
exciting game is looked for. Both
quintets are very decided about
winning this game, and all can be
sure of seeing an excellent struggle
for supremacy. The teams will line
up much the same as they have been
in the past few games.

AS TO The POSTOFfICf
Newspapers Still Talking
About the Local a
Situation
DEMOCRATS SEE A CHANCE.

Z. St. Cloud Journald- Press: "A demo
cratic exchange (St. Cloud Tlmes)
wants to see democrat enter the race
for postmaster at Little Falls, IN the
hope that with four or five republican
candidates the democrat would get the
largest vote This would probably be
the result, as the Journal Press has al
ready pointed out. Congressman Lind
bergh in his original statement said
he would recommend the man recelv-
ing the most votes, but in subse-
quent statement he explained that as
the administration was republican the
president and postmaster general
would probably insist in having re-.
publican appointed. This is also very
probable. But the election of q demo.
crat would be rather embarrassing for
our congressman. Instead of taking
the postrnasters out of politics it
would make the contest if this plan
should be adopted-0ne purely political
IN every city and village in the dis
trict and would stir UP more strife
and dissatisfaction than any scheme
yet evolved by the mind of politician
or stateman.
Fitness for the position should be-
the first consideration, and there are
some hundred republicans IN Little
Falls who would make good postmas-
tors. The quickest settlement of the
? postofHce appointments is usually the
Dsst. We doubt. after our esteemed
congressman gets through with his
Little Falls experiment, if he could
be induced to try 1t anywhere else.
There are several prominent repub-
licans in the district who are much
interested in the strife, and who would
not be adverse to succeeding Mr.. Lind
bergh, and are hoping that through
the dissatisfaction aroused they will
get an opening to make fight against
him as candidate before the prima-
rles. That is our strongest objection
to the scheme. as we believe Mr..
LindbeIgh will be most efficient
congressman, and with the experience
gained Will be of more service to the
district than would a new man.

The SOLDIERS HOME
Ex-Gov. Hubbard Unani =
mously Chosen President
--Building Crowded 55

st. Cloud Times-At the specrai
meeting of the board of trustees
of the Soldiers Home, held at
Minnehaha. called to elect president
to succeed S. II. fowler, whose
membership on the board had expired,
Gen. L r. Hubbard, of St. Paul, was
recently unanimously elected Gen.
Hubbard's record in military and
civil life is of the best, He was the
gallant and able commander of the old
Second Brigade, First Division,
Sixteenth Army Corps, and has served
az the Governor Of this state. He
protested that he felt that he should
not assume the duties and burdens of
the position, but the trustees insisted.
The membership in the home is
larger than ever before 389 men ana
"a women present, and some 80 out,
on furlough. The women s building
is full. and there are but nine vacant
beds in the men s cottages. just at
this time Of year the number present
is always greatest. When warm
weather comes many go out on
furlough.
An appropriation will be asked of
the legislature for an addition to the
women.s building.
The old hospital, which never was q
suitable building, and was located
down the hillside, has become
insufficient to accommodate the in
creasing number of sick, is poorly
ventilated with badly detective piumb-
ing. The board will ask for an
appropriation for a new hospital,
helieving that any money expended on
the old building would be almost
thrown away.
AS the veterans grow old and feeble,
some OF them develop senile dementia.
Their condition is not such as to
warrant them being adjudged insane,
yet they frequently do become IRA
ti0nal, b0lsterous and troublesome.
There are eight or ten such cases now,
and their care is serious problem
with the trustees and officers.
Certainly the state OF 4 Minnesota
and national government, which CON
tributes 800 per capita annually to
the support of these old veterans are
DONG grand work. In this
centennial year of Abraham Lincoln
wien all the people are uniting in
1hOnoring his name and deeds, it is q
proud satisfaction to know that
among the millions Of volunteers who
responded to his call to arms not one
is permitted to suffer want and prlva-
tion IN his old age.

Preparing for Opening

The baseball fans in nearly all Of the
central Minnesota cities are already
preparing for the opening of the sea-

It is understood that the people of
Sauk Centre are making preparations

that purpose was held there Friday
evening. Henry Deters, formerly Of
Long Prairie, is handling the PROPOSE

sAt Alexandria $500 has been SUBJ
scrlDed by the business men for team
during the coming summer. Many of
the old men will be back in uniform
and that team promises to be as strong
as last year. Andrew Jacobson has
been reelected manager for this year.
Long Prairie intends to have another
team on the field and tho fans at Little
Falls are giving series Of dances to
rasle money for q team. At Melrose
meeting will be held in the near
future to discuss the baseball team.
It is understood that nine made up
wholly Of home players will be put in

In this city little has been done
although the general sentiment IS IN
favor Of team. There are enough
local players to I'll the lnfield and out

that some out. Of town man will be

the English language can make it, but
is it possible that Commissioners ia
cobson, Rocheleau and Herum fully
understand that they are EMPLOYED
to REPRESENT the taxpayers of the
county?
1t is not often that the Banner feels
called upon to criticise the action Of
public officials, for their duties lead
them through thorny paths. and the
varying moods OF the public mind
makes their tasks difficult but in the
recent action OF the majority OF the
county board in refusing assistance
for county exhibit at the world S
greatest state falr certain mis1gvings
must assall the most conservative tax
payer regarding the Judgment OF these
men. ..
/ 1t is not doubted for moment that
they act with the best intention and
with determination to save the coun-
ty funds, but II they pursue the policy
OF making a. showing for one or two
years by Sitting the progress and
growth Of the county to several times
the amount of the savings, it shows
nothing but play at politics which
every thinking citizen must despise.
1t harms the personnel of the board !;
1t harms the party This year the
county saves $3.50 cash A little calcu-
iatlon will show what creditable ex-

Expressions from every side are
heard condemning the action of the
board, the heaviest taxpayers being
the loudest IN expressing regret that
Morrison county will not be repre-
sented at the state fair. The policy
seems near sighted and out Of. all pro-

some very interesting "reminiscences Of
days when Crow Wing was famous
trading post. In his brilliant sketches
be has told many stories of Father
Pierz, the celebrated missionary to
the Indians. and in closing his last
sketch he says:
THAT old horse, the old wagon. the
old hat, the old cloak reaching to his
heels, and double capped, they dwelt
with him in my memory and seem to
take on q bit OF glory because they be-
longed to him. As I look back through
the years, all these equipments to me
seem more sacred than the horses and
chariots of ire which took Elijah into
the skies; more sacred than the man
tie which fell to , the ground to be-
come the property of Ilisha; more
sacred than the cloak at Troas, the
property of st. Paul.
