Such Converts Don't Stick.
Gypsy Smith is said to be convert
ing the people of Minneapolis but this

People Will Not Stand For 1t.
We are not socialist or an anarch-
list, but we are predicting that the peo-
pie of this United States are not 60
ing to stand for some things very
much longer. When James Patten
gets a corner on wheat and can make
SIS, 100000 in one week, that is more

the people have to pay for it.-Zum-

temptible falsehood about you, and

lingual stiletto. No words in the
English tongue can be mustered into
language sufficient to execrate so vile
a wretch. -Floodwood Broadaxe.

Prophesies a Glorious Future.
With the danger of a tonnage tax a
thing of the past, and a 1926, 900, 900

Paul combined. -International Falls

The Truth in a Nutshell.
The saloon keeper who pays his
license and lives up to the law is en-

largely responsible for the anti-saloon
sentiment of the country, which is
putting the lid on the business in
many states and hundreds of cities
and villages. The saloon men who
respect public sentiment and obey the
statutes in self preservation will be
