If Hugh Halbe1t had started a week
earlier, Stevens would not have been
nominated. And it might surprise many
folks if John Gieske defeated Stevens in
November. Because Gieske is a barber
by trade, the metropolitan papers
ssneer at him. Yet he IS a student of
public affairs, we'll posted, and an honest
and conscientious man, and his vote
would always be for the right as he
understood it, and we believe that
would always mean the peoples side.
We should like to see John Gieske

Once upon time farmer had
800 bushels of wheat which he
sold, not to a grain merchant, but
to 1900 different dealers, bushel
each. Now few of these dealers
pain cash on delivery, but far the
greater number said it was not con-
venient then, but that they would
pay later. After a few months
had passed the farmers bank

said. My 1900 bushels of wheat

campus, where General Sherman ad-
vised young men not to leave Mime

was more gold in the soil than in all
the known mines. James Gray then
and there determined upon a college
education, and the following Septem-
Der he was enrolled as a university
student for a five-year course. He
made the most of his opportunities,
working his way through college and
supporting himself by various kinds
of employment One summer he was
level-man on the Great Northern,

one at Fergus Falls under Elmer E.
Adams; during his college year he
carried newspaper routes on the Pho

The key note address OF the demo-
cratic candidate for governor is re-
:tnarkable for it's boldness, it's vlgor
ard its sincerity. No man can read
That speech and say he does not know
where James Gray stands on the vital
questions OF the day. Not less can
ats progressiveness, its lofty yet
practical ideallsm, be doubted. Mr..
Gray takes high ground on the issues.
The basis of his faith is that the
people should and must rule, that the
rights that have been usurped by
special privilege shall be restored to
she people. We believe that even those
who may disagree with the candidate s
,1atterances will admire ana respect
his candor and fairness. He gives to
che republican leaders and republican
masses credit where credit Is due,
none the less does he scourge the
:taithless. The treatment OF the
aarltt is mastery, and the statement
of the various state issues clear and
without equivocation. There will be
those who Will not agree, and honestly
so, with one OF the means of regulat-
ang the liquor traffic advocated by Mr..
s3ray but he presents the question
Fairly and dlspasslonately, showing
that the matter is part of the larger
issue of whether the people or the
special interests, whether railroad,
Y1,ning or brewing, or any other,
shall rule. We do not believe any
free man, no matter what his views on
the liquor question or modes OF regula-
ton, cares to be dominated by any
snec;al interest. The Herald has never

d James Gray, the Democratic nomi-
nee for governor, was born at Falkirk,
Scotland, the site of Wallace's last
great battle, Feb. 18, 1862, his father
being master miller and his mother
the daughter of sturdy farmer. In
1866 his parents emigrated to Amer
lea and he was brought, as he ex-
presses it, together with other valua-
bles," to Bellevue, little milling town
in Iowa, where they resided, save
three years in Grant county, Wis, I'M
til 1880. At Bellevue he finished his
common school education, his scholar
ship being uniformly marked "excel-
lent" while his department was only
"fair," owing to his penchant for see
ing the humorous side of things.
Full of enterprise, he began his
newspaper career when eight years
old by delivering papers and Incl
dentally heralding the news, and his
peculiar bent began to assert itself.
He took an eager interest in current
history and became we'll informed on
what was going on in the world, dis
cussing Weighty matters with a grav-
ity and sagacity at once amusing and
significant training of great value
to him throughout his subsequent ca
reer.
Experience in Manual Labor.
AS he grew older he spent his vaca-
tons in the village sawmill, piling
lumber and, waist-deep in the water,
pushing and showing the logs to the
slip" During one summer he worked
on a macadamized road on a plan of
his own-contracting to work out the
poll-tax of citizens and getting enough
days. work together to do the whole
job. Thus he was practical expo
nent of good roads before the present
crusade for better highways was born.
In 1879, during his last year in
school, he acted as a supply teacher,

The Modern Juggernaut.

100 MOOeTQ Ju$&oruauts
In these days city newspaper that
does not carry at least one story about
an automobile accident is rarity. Al
most every day in the large cities
there is material for news story in
volving the killing or manning Of
somebody, frequently several persons,
due to reckless automobiling. In an
Gent days there used to be chariots
with outrigger swords to cut down
swaths of people. The modern jugger-
naut, the automobile, carries no such
weapons, but nevertheless the list Of
killed and injured which must be
chronicled to it's discredit is a great
and CHASTITY one-and growing day by
day.
In some communities laws have been
passed that prohibit irresponsible boys
from running automobiles. But there
are many irresponsible men at the
wheel, and it is high time that some
action be taken to weed out the ire
sponsibles. To drive locomotive on
steel rails man must go through sew
eral years Of training; he must pos
sess a level head, high degree Of in
telligence, and he must be strictly
sober. An automobile is locomotive
running loose on the roads, with no
rails to guide its course. It possesses
the speed Of a railroad train when the
chauffeur chooses to '1et her out" II
runs upon the public highways and
thoroughfares.
Does it not seem somewhat remark
able that any man or woman, after Il
few instruction trips, is permitted to
run this trackless locomotive at will, In
and out among the city crowds,
through the traffic Of country roads
Perhaps some day this matter may be
remedied, but in the meantime the
juggernaut Joy rides without restraint,
seeking whom it may cut down.

A GOOD MAN.

Big Lake Wave: The Democrats
have at last picked out a man to run
for governor-ex mayor James A.
Gray of Minneapolis.
While it can not be gainsaid that
Lind was an able governor and we
have the most hearty appreciation for
his former administration, we also be-
lieve that Gray is still better, and,
while the lateness of his nomination is
unfortunate, we think that he has still
pretty good chance to wln-the
people OF Minnesota want a man who
is not owned by the corporations and
Gray is man of absolute honesty
and great ability.

MAN OF CHARACTER AN
RELIABILITY.

Litchfield Independent: Ex-Mayor
James Gray of Minneapolis will be the
Democratic candidate for governor in
Minnesota this year. He was last
Thursday placed on the ticket by the
state central committee. Mr.. Gray
was mayor of Minneapolis from 1898
to 1900, being elected as a Democrat.
He was at that time a newspaper man,
and has been engaged IN editorial
work ever since. He is good speaker
and a man of character and reliability.
John LIND has promised to take
vigorous part In the campaign,
strong fight will no doubt be put up
from now on until the close of the fall
election contest.

JAMES GRAY.

Sept. is: The Democrats can wear Jim
Gray in their buttonhole with pride
and without apology. It is so that he
once wore a swallOw.ta1l coat and a
stiff shirt but that was just because
1t happened to be the only clothes he
had.
Jim is one of the self made men
who doesn't need to make excuses for
the job. He's got his goods in the
front window, and he doesn't have to
mark them down.
Born IN Scotland, raised on oat meal,
he came to this country before his
antecedents became fatal.
Many a man in Minneapolis can
remember the time when Gray was a
logger in the river, standing in the
water all day long, willing to shiver
for an education. Nobody ever came
along and stuck a silver spoon in
Jlm's lips, He had to grub for what
he got. There was a long time in his
life when he didn't know for sure that
Minnesota was the bread and butter
state.
No man ever knew jim Gray with
out loving him. I have particular
reasons for loving him, for he took me
up almost out of the streets and gave
me a big hunk of encouragement and
wrapped me around in his big, burly
affection at q time when life looked a
bit like polar expedition. Jim Gray
has always been doing kindly things
and feeling pretty mad when folks
found it out. Like all good Scotchmen,
he covers up his gentility and his

people very long.
man IS nominated for high Office. 1t
takes campaign largely out of
politics, and lifts it up INTO the
atmosphere of genial and kindly
citizenship which preserves it from
bitterness and injustice on both sides.
The democrats are to be congratulated
for naming Jim Gray. He is q
credit to them, and they won't be
ashamed of him, whatever happens.
The Republicans are to be congrat.
ulated on his nomination, for 1T gives
them an opposition honest. dignified
and worthy. And the people are to
be-congratulated, because such NOM
ination is a tribute to that sentiment
among men which demands the high
est, the worthiest, the cleanest IN the
men who ask the franchise Of the
people. It reminds men that politics is
not scramble and that candidacy
has more significance than the mere
question of its success at the polls.
SO we can all be glad over Jim
Gray's nomination. He's real one,
and he is one of the rare men who can
be just as big if defeated as it elected.

Lamb Kissed 4is Own Earee.

Lambs unfortunate farce, 'SIr.
H." has one of the shortest theat-
rical titles on record, and it could
not possibly have had a shorter the
atrical life, since it was performed
only once. Lamb, as everybody
knows, "hissed and booted as loud
ly as any of his neighbors."
Writing to Wordsworth the fol-
lowing day, he said: "a hundred
Kisses (the word l write like kisses
how differently hundred Kisses
outweigh a thousand claps. The
former come more directly from the
heart. Well, it's withdrawn and
there is an end" But it is to be
observed that he did not curse his
audience, as your modern play
wright would have done. for Lamb
happened to be sound and sane
critic of his own work.-London
Chronicle.

Keep your skeletons shut in your
closets is good rule for everybody
to obey. A sorrow or misfortune
may bring to you the sympathy, not
only of your friends but of Indifferent
acquaintance but there are limits, be-
yond which this will not be carried.
People soon tire of grief in which
they are not personally concerned.
The sunshine is so much more agreea-
bic than the shadow that it will be
sought for, and they expect you will
help to make it as soon as what they
assume to be reasonable time has
passed by. If you do not, if you are
constantly opening the doors of your
skeleton closet and weeping over
what it contains, you need not be
surprised that you are Stunned by
those upon whose affection you have
most counted. You must smile
though your heart be''well nigh brok-
en-, and it is right that you should
do so. The world, albeit it is not a
bad world, is still full enough of care
and of burden for each human being
to carry, for himself as to make the
carrying of those of Others for pro-
longed period unbearable.

MAKING A WlNEeLAss.
II Takes Many Processes and the Work
Of Four Men.

The making of a wineglass is q
fascinating sight to watch and a
revelation to many. It requires the
services of four men, and the proc
esses are numerous. Inserting his
hollow iron blowpipe into the mouth
of one of the pots or crucibles, the
blower collects sufficient "metaP" to
form the bowl of wineglass.
This metal is a lump of hot, soft
material and is. Of course, molten
glass. 1t is made from white sand,
red lead, refined ash and saltpeter
mixed in certain proportions, and
then it has been resolved into mol
ten glass, technically known as
metal. The lump of material on
the end of the pipe is rolled to and
fro on polished table to obtain the
desired smoothness and evenness of
surface.
After swinging the hot glass rap
idly through the air for some mo
ments the worker then blows down
the pipe until the lump Of soft ma
te1al has expanded to the required
size and shape, when he gauges it
with his calipers to see that the
dimensions are correct. 1t IS now
passed to a second man, who casts
on sufficient metal to form the stem,
while on to this again is added ma
terial for the foot. The processes
now follow one another rapidly, the
glass being passed from workman to
workman and back again as each
fulflls his particular task.
Over and over again the partially
completed object is inserted into
the furnace where there is a heat Of
1000 degrees F., held there for a
few moments and then quickly with
drawn to be further treated. With
precision that only comes Of long
training, one man trims the bowl Of
the glass to the required size by cut
ting the superfuous material away
with a pair of shears. The bowl
then has to be opened out to the
desired dimensions and measured to
see that it is perfectly correct in
size, when it is finally lifted by a
boy from the workman's holder on
the end of forked stick. finished
article, and placed in the oven to be

A HUSBANDS DUTY TO HIS WIFE.

The man who declares that sun
shiny husband makes a merry, beau
tiful home, worth having, worth
working for, had fine conception of
the chief characteristics of happy
household. Ifman is breezy, CHEEKY,
considerate and sympathetic; his wife
sings in her heart over her buildings
and mending basket, counts the hours
till he return at night, and renews
her youth in the security she feels of
his appreciation and admiration.
You may think it weak or childish,
if you please, but it is the admired
wife who hears words of praise and
receives smiles of commentator,
who is capable, discreet and execu-
tive. We have seen timid, weak,
SelfdistruSting little fairy bloom in
to strong, self-reliant womanhood
under the tonic and the cordial of
companionship with husband who
really went out of his way to find oc-
casion for showing her how fully he
trusted her judgement, and how ten
derby he deferred to her opinion. In
home life there should be no jar, no
striving for place, no insisting on
prerogatives or division of interests.
The husband and wife are each the
compliment of the other. And it is
just as much his duty to be cheerful
as it is hers to be patient; his right
to bring joy into the door, as it is
hers to sweep and garnish the pleas
ant interior. A family where the
daily walk of the father makes life a
festival, is filed with something like
heavenly benediction.
