OF jollier. For the life Of us we can.
not see how that will help the people.
t the democratic members had stood
by the Minnesota congressman there
wouldn't have been any Payne
Aldrich bill, but they didn't and that
is one of the reasons why the people
will not be liable to elect democrats to
succeed republicans. Saltwater Ca

Gov. johnson has stated to a
number of his friends that under no.

A Sensible Move.
There is said to be a general ten
dency on the part of the farmers in
Dakota to hold their grain, the gen
eral impression being that the wheat
market has. fallen off too rapidly.
dollar wheat' is fast becoming
their slogan and though they may not
get it: they propose to wait a while
and see how the market goes.-

Country Geese Plucked Fair Week.
State fair week is the harvest time
OF the twin city department stores.
They boost prices and rake in the
hard earned sheckles of the state fair
visitors. Many of the articles bought
during a trip to the fair can be
bought cheaper right at home, besides
avoiding the trouble of packing home
a lot of bundles. Fair visitors should
bear this in mind.-Mora Times.

Value Principle More Than Coin.
That argument about what consti-
tutes an independent newspaper goes
merrily on. The fellow who knows he
will get definite financial support
from his party every election year is
sure that independence simply means
a call for the highest bidder, but
does not realize that few newspaper
men value principle almost as highly
as coin of the realm.-Le Sueur Senti-
mel.
Carnivals Are Fakes.
Mankota is certainly to be con-
graduated on the fact that the summer
has passed and no dirty carnival has
showed its unwelcome presence among
us. IT'S we'll. The carnival is one of
the most useless 'enterprises'' ever
thrown upon guileless public There
is not one redeeming feature about
the whole business, and it is hoped
that Mankato will continue to keep
the dirty thing out ofsthis community.

J. W. Olsen, once superintendent of
public instruction and erstwhile dean
of the school of agriculture, has re-
signed after a bitter Fl ght made on him
from every section of the-..state, one
John Lind being responsible for a
share in the big fuss. Olsen is
shining example of the wing of the re-
publican party which went over to
democracy in the first johnson cam

Ruane's Conception of Heaven
1t must have been a lazy man that
invented the idea that heaven is
place of rest, where fellow has
nothing to do but lay around and
listen to the angels sing everlastingly.
1t would seem that kind of existence
would soon get awfully tiresome to
the good souls that while on earth
were always busy going around doing
good, alleviating pain, or just
hustling in the ordinary business.
Heaven must be place of great
mental activity -SIavt0n Ca zetta
