Andrew Carnegie recently gave &c.,
600, 600 to be used for the purpose of
promoting universal peace. It seems
to US that the logical way to insure
peace is to be adequately prepared for
war, but Mr.. Carnegie's money will
not be expended in ornaments. A
commission of wise men will handle it
and through it's use will endeavor to
convince the powers that ornaments
are unnecessary. The aim of the COM
mission is to do away with warfare
good idea, indeed, but
we fear it is almost impossible of
accomplishment.

The department of justice is doing

that OF the concern styling itself the

WRONGLY ACCUSED.

Governor Eberhart seems to
labor under the impression that even
the elements can be held in check by
legislation. It is to be hoped, how
ever, that he will recommend no I'M
constitutional measure, like county
option for instance, for consideration
by the legislature. 4.
The above was taken from the
Princeton Union, Robert G.. Dunn's
paper. Mr.. Dunn was one of the men
endorsed by the .Anti-Saloon League
and counted as one who would help to
elect county option speaker. Mr..
Dunn, it is claimed, has endorsed his
namesake whom Youngdahl says is
the brewers candidate for speaker.
Bob Dunn never mentioned county
option in terms as the above during
the campaign. He simply talked
about good roads.-Park Region
Echo. s. e. -, = So ~. a.-. ~ re-
Can't fellow indulge in little
harmless sarcasm at the expense of
our great and good governor without
being accused of inconsistency? Dur
ing the campaign the governor, it is
alleged, said that it would be i'm
proper for him to attempt to influence
legislators by recommending county
option, while at Brainerd he init
mated THAT he might convene the legis-
lature in extraordinary session if an
equitable reapportionment bill failed
of passage at the regular session
Incidentally, Bob Dunn made no
pledges to any man or league, but he
is unalterably opposed to either the
liquor interests or the Anti-Saloon
League debating who shall be speaker,
nor would he knowingly support any
man for speaker whom he believed
could be controlled by any interest.
Furthermore, any practical temper
ance Legislation proposed at the ensu-
ing session of the legislature will re-
ceive Bob Dunn's whole-hearted sup
port.

UNFAIR 70 MR.. DUrN. SIS 81

The liquor interests are making q
determined effort to control the
coming session of the state legis-
lature. Their hand is shown in the
speakership fight. EVERY man whom
they can reach or whom they control
has been rounded up and the fight is
on to job the county option men out
of the control of the house. Long

The above lis the prelude to an
unjust and unfair article aimed at
Hon. II. 81. Dunn. There was no
ADLER man elected to either branch of
the state legislature at the election
last November than Mr.. Dunn. AS
sistant Attorney General George W..
Peterson, whose home is in Long
Prairie, regards Mr.. Dunn as one Of
the ablest attorneys of southern Min
nesOta and as man of unimpeach.
able integrity. One of the best known
district judges of southern Minnesota
writes the editor: "Mr. Dunn is the
soul of honor and honesty and as a
lawyer he has few equals and no SUI
perior in this section of the state. .
Here is the testimony of two eminent
men who know Mr.. Dunn, and yet the
editor of the Leader, who evidently
does not know Mr.. Dunn, would have
US believe that he is mere tool Of the
liquor interests. The great majority
of the members-elect of the house who
are supporting Mr.. Dunn for the
speakership are doing so solely for
the reason that they believe him emil
nently qualified for the position and
they are men who cannot be influenced
in the remotest degree by the liquor
interests or any other interest.

A policeman was held up by
robber in st. Paul saloon last week

arrest the burglar? Too much is
often expected of the policeman!

House Robbed.

Friday evening about $50
o'clock Reid Kinkead' S house was
broken into and robbed. Mrs.
Kinkead and her daughters were
at church and Mr.. Kinkead was
up in town. When Mrs. Kinkead
left the house she noticed a stran-
ger, who earlier in the day had
applied for something to eat,
lettering near the front gate.
When Mr.. Kinkead returned
home he found the front door
locked and on going to the rear
he found that one of the kitchen
windows had been forced open.
He entered through the window
and found hat the house had
been ransacked from cellar to
