Knows a Deck When She Sees 1t.
Now the kings of Spain and Italy
nave met. A short time ago it was the
rulers OF Great Britain and Germany.
That makes four kings, all there are
IN an honest deck, but not all there are
IN the European collection. Mary
McFadden.
It's Dead Easy.
When you travel along, easy like,
occasionally walking, trotting, pac-
ing, ETC., in order to save yourself. on
the road to happiness, it isn't a
difficult task to do your duty to man
kind and all the other boys and girls.

You're Right, as Usual, Colonel
we believe it is the proper thing to
allow the western states, especially,
to settle their own domestic affairs.
1t is just as proper for a state to fight
for it's rights as it is for a set of gov
eminent rulers to bring on a conflict
without the consent of the people. If
the people east like the Japs and
Cinnamon SO we'll, let them take them.

People Do Not Demand County Option.
Neither the republican party nor the
democratic party promised to pass a
local option by counties law, and but
very few people expected that such a
law would be passed by the present
legislature. Look up the platforms of
both parties and see in what MASTER
full manner they got around the ques-
ton. In fact it looks as though the
voters of the state do not want such
law. If they do why did they not
compel one of the old parties to make
stand on that particular question:

..,, Let Us He Consistent
There are some papers in the state
that are given to censuring the repub-
lican party for not supporting the
county option bill, and these papers
last fall we're supporting a man for
governor who was known to be antag-
onistic to such bill. Now, let US be
consistent. Last fall the republican
party had nominee for governor of
this state who was in favor of county
option law, and SO expressed himself.
What was the attitude of the county
option people toward this nominee?
Why it was anything to defeat him.
The republican party is not in any
way indebted to the county option
people after such treatment. Evans

Brother Bell on States Needs.
What the northern part of the state
needs and is entitled to in all fairness
is a redistricting of the state. So far
there does not appear to be any fight
put up by the members of the northern
part of the state for this important
measure. Again the legislature should
enact an entirely new law in regard to
roads, something in line with the
system followed by the Canadian prov
inces. Another important matter is
a law to destroy noxious weeds, a law
that could be enforced by special in
spectors appointed for that purpose.
While the present noxious weed law is
stringent enough, there is much red
tape connected with it and town officers
refuse to enforce itagainst their neigh
bors.-Rosseau Times.

Col. Ward Foxes Fun at Col Day.
Col. f. A. Day came down Satur-
day night last so as to attend church
on the Sabbath, and also look after
his newspaper work. He returned to
st. Paul on the Monday afternoon
passenger. It was necessary that the
colonel should return to st. Paul on
account of the session of the legisla-
ture. AS chairman of the state dem
ocratic central committee he has the
matter of temperance legislation to
look after, and it is necessary that he
watch the brewers or they might pass
a county option bill or foolishly enact
some temperance legislation, or make
a break with those allies of the minis
ters and churches, who were in part
nership with them during the past
election. Martin County Independent.
