Death Of Governor johnson Causes
Gloom in Ranks Of Travellers at
Northwest.

No where has the death Of GOV.
john A. Johnson OF Minnesota caused
deeper gloom than in the ranks OF the
travelling men OF the northwest. AL
though himself not member of the
fraternity, Governor Johnson held d
very warm place in the hearts Of the
travelling men generally.
AT the time of his first election the
travelling men OF Minnesota played a
considerable part in placing him in the
chief executives chair at st. Paul and
they were amply rewarded as the gov
ernor took pains to see that many
measures affecting their organisation
were put Through.
Although the North Dakota travellers
have not felt the benefits of the worl,
that Johnson did for the travelling men
they had warm spot for him be-
cause of what he did for their broth
er travellers In Minnesota.

Pure Food Law Enforced.

It is refreshing to know that the

can now feel that they are eating the
things they ind the names OF on the

In my judgment the pure food law

acted by legislation in many years.

the consumer to know what he was
eating or whether or not the things
contained drugs which might shorten
his days"
Continuing, he said, when asked as

GRUFF BUYER IS
ALWAYS LOSEk
TRAVELLING MAN GETS ABLE TO
TELL BY INTUITION KIND or
MAN WITH WHOM He HAS TO
DEAL-cHEAP TO BE KIND AND
COURTEOUS.

There are few commercial travellers
who do not sometimes come In contact
with those who seem to take special
delight In being unkind and gruff. and
the veterans Of the road are apt to
think lightly of their experiences of the
kind named after a long experience
with people, knowing that such is part
of life itself. for the good would not
be appreciated were 1t not for the bad.
1t is, however, q remarkable and in
evitable fact that the effect OF our dis
position will be felt by some one or
many. There Is hardly commercial
traveller on the road who cannot walk
into the office of a prospective custom
er and Immediately tell by intuition
the character of the superiors simply
by inhaling the atmosphere around
them and watching the movements of
the subordinates. II the boss is a
mean and cold-natured man every one
under his direct influence is affected
more or less, and without being aware
Of 1t will wear the same frown and ex-
tend the same indifference to a strang-
err On the other hand, If he is one of
those good natured, kind-hearted
men his influence is a shining light,
from the highest man in the Office to
the porter. We may imagine when we
are sour on the world that others will
not know 1t or be influenced by IT, but
that is where we are wrong. Isn't it
perfectly natural for the office boy to
think his boss is the monarch Of the
commercial world and their office the
axis around which 1t revolves? Ger
tainly IL the boss comes in with a
frown every morning he must frown
also to maintain the dignity of his
position.
There are some buyers who seem to
think they win lose their prestige by
being kind and considerable with buy
ing from those who many times are
their superiors from every standpoint
but insist on bluffing and harassing
the salesman they come in contact
with. Til Sc tactics, however, have
long been discarded by shrewd buyers.
as they realize kindness and courtesy
to others is a most valuable asset, as
it gains good will and confidence.
The majority of people have real
good In their hearts, but many do not
take the opportunity of showing it.
When the transfer man is late with
your trunks talk kindly to him. He
may be overworked, and perhaps it
was not his fault after ALL and a harsh

An old gentleman related the story
of an incident that occurred in his
boyhood days. He was passing the
country home of a certain preacher.
who at the time was away, and was
asked by the minister's wife If he
would catch a calf that had escaped
from the barn lot and was racing it's
shadow across large field Just as
the task was finished the preacher ar
rived upon the scene and severely re-
primanded the boy for holding the calf
by its ears, which was the lads COM
pensation for his work He stated in
conclusion that the unkind words of
that preacher served their purpose,
as he had ever afterward realized the
velue of well chosen words. May we
all profit by such examples.

down to the terrible example of total

who pliers ham, and by so doing
makes war on society.
1t was of course, sarcastic hit at
the popular estimate of financial de-
linquency and wrong doing in general.
Fortunately the higher moral con-
sciousness and juster feeling that now
prevails does not discriminate between
the rich and the poor offenders so much
as formerly, yet even now it is too
often seen.
Applying the just estimate to crimi-
nal wrongdoing it is pertinent to ask
why if the petty thief is summary
sent to prison the man who steals
millions escapes scot free and is per-
soma grata in "best society,"" Is the
man who bonds a railroad, ostensibly
for improvements, and who puts most
of the money in his own pocket, less a
criminal than the man who steals a
pocket-book, or is he a brilliant finan-
cier? And are the monopolists who
enjoy rebates, who control so-called
independent concerns, and who charge
exorbitantly for necessities, men OF
ilreproachable business character?

An institution in any community
which in itself has the power to black
en- the character of the most honored
citizen, is totally irresponsible, and
stands ready to swear away the good
name of the first man who dares to
raise his voice against it, is a menace
to the community aside from the evil
influence it exerts. The man, with a
family of boys and girls growing up is
certainly blind to their interest if he
does not oppose the existence of such
an institution. The man who dares to
attack such an Infamous traffic and
drive it from our midst should have the
open support of every citizen who
stands for a morally clean city.

THE TRUTH ABOUT NEW RICHMOND
Rev. w. E. Kloster in The Link

Rev w E. Kloster in The Link
The newspapers of New Richmond
and the state have published under
big headlines that the city of New
Richmond was facing bankruptcy on
account of the saloon license shortage
in the city treasury. Where the state
ment was not made direct, differences
were drawn so adriotly that the readers
could easily determine the purpose of
the writer.
New Richmond's credit is now as
good as it has been for the past five
years During the past five years New
Richmond has borrowed from $4,000
to $4,000 per year to pay running ex-
penses, which amount was taken out
of the tax receipts the following year.
In several instances the city has had,
besides the loan, overdrafts in local
banks amounting to $875.5 so.
On August 81, 1908, according to the
treasurer's report, there were loans
of $4,000 for the year and an over
draft of 1878. 46. On the other hand,
a loan of $500, NO OVERDRAFT,
BUT $273O. 46 CASH IN THE TREAS
URY.
There is no complaint on the part
of the business men in the volume of
business done. The following would
indicate that it is highly satisfactory:
Mr. E. A. Glover has recently pur-
chased two brick store buildings in
the heart of Main street. One of these
buildings was recently occupied by a
saloon. The Araquist Mercantile Co.
has secured the building to the north
of their already large block, which
was occupied by saloon, for their
grocery department. Another build
ing formerly occupied by saloon is
occupied by high class electric NOV
ing picture company.
1t would appear since $4,000 of the
borrowed money is state loan COW
ering the space of twenty years, and
drawing 81 per cent interest-which
Will add only $500 to present loans
from local banks-that the city would
not have to draw so largely upon the
tax receipts. Consequently a lower
percentage in the way for next year.
Five residences have been built, or
are in the process of building, and one
concrete blacksmith and implement
shop.
The municipal improvements have
been the redistricting Of the electric
light system, necessiting the placing
of the poles and fixtures in a large
area of the city; also the erecting of
water tower at the cost of about
$4,000, and | believe that there has
been more cement sidewalk built than
any previous year, of which the city
pays Is per cent on all street walks.
1t is a fact that there has been
much drunkenness on the streets, but
that has been largely due to the neg
lect of the city officials, as they said
they wanted to give the voters their
fill of no-license. At present five per-
sons have complaints sworn against
them for selling Intoxicating liquors
without license, the evidence being
secured by voters who had already
done their duty by their votes, yet had
to place themselves in a position of
reproach, and at considerable expense
had to do what the officers of New
Richmond were sworn to do.

Judge Lindsey's story, 1.-THE Beast and

interest you. 1t is the story of Judge
Lindsey's own life, of his own fight
against the corruption engendered by
Big Business and Machine Politics. 1t
deals with conditions in Denver, but its
appeal is nationwide. In every large
city and in every state may be found
the trail Of the beast about which
Judge Lindsey writes. And every
where it is the same.
Seldom does story find it's way into
print that contains so much of import
ance to the American people. For
that reason this story should be circu-
lated as widely as possible. And if it
is read as widely as it deserves to be,
''The Beast" will have cause to trem-
bic. The seen enemy is more easily
vanquished than the unseen. Judge
Lindsey has performed service foi
each one Of US by turning the light OF
publicity a light dazzling in intensity
into the darkness of '"The Jungle
and throwing into clear. relief "The
Beast" that turks there. Those who
fail to perceive it-claws, fangs, purr,

autobiography, are blind indeed. When
self-preservation is dependent upon
Individual alertness, all the senses are
quickened. Self-interest sharpens the
vision. And your interests and my
interests and the interests of those
who are to follow US, are at stake IN
this great contest with Greed. Judge
Lindsey makes this plain. 1t behooves
each one of US, therefore, to see our
common enemy when it is thus driven
from cover, and, seeing, to understand
how imperative it is, by our united
efforts, to destroy it. Help Judge
Lindsey in his effort to serve your
