Too Good to be True.

Too Good to be True.
The constitutionality of the act ap-
propriating 100000 for roads and
bridges has been attacked. We have
always regarded that law as too good
to be true. Ortonville Herald Star.

Something of Job.
Politicians are now passing away
the idle hours by picking winning
candidate for governor to head the
republican ticket. And it is some
thing of a job. Dassel Anchor.
Neff Scents Corruption
Why shouldn't Senator Aldrich win
out in his diabolical scheme of throat
cutting, high-tariff policy? He has
back of him millions of dollars 6lched
from the people with which to buy
supporters in both branches of con-
gress. Lake Crystal Union.
!. So.
Human Misfits.
Many a man has his nose to the
grindstone because his parents did
not encourage him in youth to de-
velop his talents. On the other hand,
ambitious mothers have filled the pull
pit, the bar and the forum with misfts
who should be out shaving the face of
nature with a brush scythe.-A. M.
Greeley in Big Fork Compass.

He Needs Something Cooling.
If the lovely and loyal Daughters of
the Confederacy really wanted TO do
something for Captain Henry Wirz,
they might have sent him cake of
ice. It would be more cooling and
comforting to him in his present sur
roundings than a plain marble shaft.
Jim Hamlin in Bricelyn Sentinel.

Can't Legislate Religion.
Why all this howl about Gov
ernor Johnson's signing the Sun
day baseball bill? It's about time
that some one discovers that you can't
legislate religion into people. In
our opinion man can be true
christian and good citizen even if
he does take a little wholesome out
door recreation in ball park on a
Sunday afternoon.-Chishol Trib-
une.
OF Fighting Stock.
Two robbers, in the act .:ssof taking
golden candelabrae from the altar of
Holy Angels Roman Catholic church
in Chicago, we're attacked by two
priests. Both robbers were captured,
one after he had been.beaten into in
sensibility. The heroic work of the
two priests is better understood when
it is known that one of them was Father
Griffin and the other Father O'Shea.
Men bearing such names are always
from good fighting stock. Fairmont
Sentinel.
Partners in Saint Making.
A certain minister has said that no
newspaper which took truth for it's
standard would make pecuniary
success. The press might return the
compliment by remarking that no
minister who told the truth about his
congregation, alive or dead, would
occupy the pulpit much longer than
one Sunday afterward. The press
and clergy 60 hand in hand with the
whitewash brush, rosy spectacles
magnifying little virtues and kindly
throwing little difficulties into obliv-
ion. The pulpit, the pen and the
gravestone are partners in saint
making. -Elysian Enterprise.
The He Gossip.
Do men gossip? Yes, some of them
gossip more than women, who take to
this kind of business like ducks to
water. We know of some men who
have little else to do but gossip and
then prance around and imagine that
they have the public welfare at heart.
Such men are absolutely an eye-sore
to any community and are their own
worst enemies. Imagine a man ask
ing why you bought horse, automo-
bile or fishing rod or why you did not
attend this and that public function?
Why you can afford or not afford tn
do so and so? To mind ones bust
ness and cease asking foolish ques-
tions is an art that few men and fewer
women have acquired. Moral: Mind
your own business. -Chisago County
Press.
Could Not Be Better.
No one has ever made salve. ONT
ment, lotion or balm to compare with
Bucklen's Arnica Salve. It's the one
perfect healer of cuts. corns. b-rns.
