KNIGHTS or PYTHiAs
PLAN CENTRAL HOME

Muskogee. Okla. May 1.-Two inn
portant features developed in the
meeting OF the grand lodge of the
knights Of Pythias here yesterday.
The first is the recommendation that
the incorporation formed a year ago
to build a Pythian home be abandoned,
and the grand lodge itself incorporated
for the same purpose. The second is
that a central or home lodge in the
state be formed, to which may belong
all members Of defunct lodges, Un.
doubtedly both plans will be adopted
Oklahoma City is making a hard
fight for the next meeting of the
grand lodge. AT that meeting it is ex.
pected that permanent Pythian head
quarters in the state win be located.
The town that can land the next grand
lodge meeting will have the best
chance to get a resolution through to
land the permanent headquarters of
the order.

EVERYBODY INVITED.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1910-11-02

By the action of the Republican
State Convention two new names in
the list of Supreme Court judges were
placed before the voters for their APP
proval this fall. P. r. Brown of
Luverne, and David F. Simpson Of
Minneapolis. Both have served long
District bench and the character of
that service has demonstrated that
both are qualified by training,
character and ability to fill positions
on the Supreme Bench. Judge Brown
being nominated for the term beginn-
ing January st, 1912, has no OPP
ponent. Judge Simpson is nominated
with Justice Jaggard for the terms be-
ginning January l st. 1911, and for
those terms the Democratic convention
nominated candidates..
That the state convention nominated
him by reclamation, without a dissent
ing vote, in itself is high assurance
as to his fitness for the position.
Judge Simpson is SO years of age,
and his life has been spent under con-
ditions favorable to the development
of judicial character and ability.
For "a years his home was at his
birthplace, farm in Dodge county,
Wisconsin. Young Simpson came to
Minnesota in 1884 and engaged at
Minneapolis in the practice of his
profession,
In 1898 he was appointed city at
torney of the city of Minneapolis,
which position he held through reap.
pointments for four years. In 1896 he

these papers is to get some prominent
and popular young person in every
community and to let that person go

get their subscriptions. They know
that each such person has large
number of friends and acquaintance
who can't refuse when approached.
It's a gentler way than Jessie James
employed but it brings the unwilling
coin out OF the pocket of the victim
with just as great certainty and much
less danger to the person doing the
hold-up stunt
The people should put a stop to this
kind Of a thing. Men should refuse,
absolutely, to be subjected to this
kind of a hold up. Every contest
merely means that the public is being
played for sucker and it is time that
that long suffering animal retaliated
by refusing to take the bait.
A paper should sell on its merits and
when it wants to increase its sub
scri ption list let it do so through the
aid OF solicitors who sell papers and
not through local contestant"
who merely lend the publication their
popularity which in turn is converted
into dollars and cents by the shrewd
circulation managers. We do not be-
lieve that there is any solicitor SO
thoroughly detested by the average
victim of the agency graft as the
| newspaper contest cuss.
! And we can not but think that the
4 paper that puts on a contest is a
loser in the end. When people are
forced to buy something which they
do not want they do not, as a rule,
feel very good about it and they are
going to drop the proposition about
as quickly as they can and they are
not likely to speak many words oil
praise for it. either. The contest
mania and clubbing craze are good
things for the publisher to shun.-

from TIE Washington correspondent
of the Boston Transcript and may be
Illuminating:
A story SO sens ational that the
Transcript correspondent has kept it
to himself for a month, yet so plau-
sible that it is slowly but surely find
ing credence among the political
managers, is quietly being circulated
concerning the relations of Theodore
Roosevelt and William Fl. Taft. It
was given to me first in the City Of
whose prominence in the United States
also is such as to warrant little
more than passing attention to the
story. The suggestion is, in brief. that
Taft and Roosevelt, whatever may be
said to the contrary, have a most per-
feet understanding regarding 1912. It
was stated to the writer with the
ntmostiso berness and sincerity that
the plan is to name the venerable
John NJ. Harlan chief justice of the
United States, he to retire after the
Inauguration of President Roosevelt
in 1913, and Roosevelt to name Taft
for the vacancy.
This plot of major politics is so in
credible that it wovld hardly be re-
peated if it we're not that it has been
taken with some seriousness in i'm
portant palitical ciriles in the United
States. It has a beWitching plausi.
bility, and, as far as the gentlemen
themselves are concerned, it would
settle very prettily one of the mos
perplexing political problems the Re
publican party has had to face since
1892.
Barring the point that the people o
the United States may want to hav,
something to say themselves about wht

cript correspondent has some yer,
alluring features. phe impression
obtains that President Taft is not &C
lively seeking renomina tion. It is NJ
secret that his ambition was to b.
chief justice of the United State

because his work in the Philippine
was not completed. Whether any sucl
agreement between the President an,

considered, it is certain that it woul,

Hennepin counties. By two success
sive reflections he has held this
position since.
While Judge Simpson has always
voted as Republican, there has
never been any partisanship in the
discharge of his official duties. This
is shown by the facts that he was ap-
pointedito his second term as city at

Democrats as well as the Republicans,
and that two years ago, before becom-
ing candidate for reelection as Dis
trict Judge substantially all the Demo-

candidate for reelection and pledged
him their support.
Not only has he been a nonpartisan
politically but he has by his fairness
earned and holds the confidence of all
classes. He has repeatedly received
the endorsement Of labor as we'll as
that Of the business interests.
In addition to his work as Judge he
has been interested in many public

The Voting Contest Hold-Up.

A very popular way of swelling
newspaper subscription lists just now
is the contests methods. In this field
of activity the daily papers take the
lead. Every four months they conduct
contest of some kind. The prizes
are tempting, and consist of automo-
bills, airships, trips to Europe and
various other things from pianos to
tooth picks. Some smooth talker sent
out by the paper putting on the con-
test comes along and interests some
one in each locality to get busy
assuring him that an airship is due to
drop right in the particular part Of
the country where he happens to be
talking at that very moment. So
smooth is the "con' talk put up by
the agent of the big daily that
hundreds all over the state rush into
the contest and begin to roll up sub
scription lists for the paper.
That these people in the rural dis
tricts, and all other districts for that
matter, have been induced to give up
or neglect their other occupations and
go out to solicit subscription for
these daily papers on a proposition
which will not compensate one out of
each 100 for the shoe leather used is
bad enough, but it is by no means the
worst part Of the deal. The worst
part is the loading, by these local
agents, upon all their friends papers
| that the latter neither want nor care
the least thing about. There are
certain solicitors one can not turn
down. A merchant can not turn
down a member of the family of d
customer. A professional man can.
not give the cold shoulder to the
daughter Of leading family. A
farmer can not find it in his heart to
refuse to donate a years subscription
to the cause of neighbos's automo.
bile opportunity. A politician-well
he, of course, walks with his hands ur
all the time and all they have to dc
is to go through his pockets and help
themsel yes.
Not one man in twenty who buy a
contest paper wants it. The sub.
scrlption is given for personal
reasons. Friendship, fear of offend
ing, business patronage, anything
and everything, except wanting the
article bought, is the reason fol
buying.
