The Way It HELPS.

When Sir Andrew Clark, Mr.. Glad
stones physician, recommended a pa
tient to drink wine the latter expressed
some surprise, saying he thought Sir
Andrew was temperance doctor, to
which Sir Andrew Clark replied:
ooh, wine does sometimes help you
to get through work. For instance, I
have often twenty letters to answer
after dinner, and pint of champagne
Is great help"
Indeed" said the patient, "does q
pint Of champagne really help you to
answer the twenty letters?"
mo, no!' said Sir Andrew. But
when I've had pint of champagne
don't care rap whether answer them
or not!'

That Governor Eberhardt is not
1.-THE goods is the opinion of State
Representative Ware Of Mortified as
stated IN a communication to the
Pioneer Press recently. The letter IS
in part as follows:
''He may win the nomination, but
can he get the independent vote that
elected johnson? It is very easy to
shout Get on the band wagon,
'Eberhart by reclamation, but there
is the long campaign with lots of
things being brought out not only on
the stump but in the weekly papers
all over the state. From what 1 know
of the two sessions served in the house
feel that there are so many things
that Mr.. Eberhart will have hard
work to explain-hls appointment Of
committees, among Others-that it
will be hard for the republicans to
satisfy the common people that he is
the best man for Governor.
PERSONALLY think Mr.. Eberhart
Is a clean, upright, man; but his
political career has not shown real
strength and courage.
If the democrats nominate John
LIND, the only man that can give
him a race, a man who is in his class,
is Hon. E. T. Young, the man that
will get the vote of the friends of the
late Governor johnson, as they are
not partial toward Mr.. Lind, but
want man who has the ability and
the backbone to fill the Office with
honor to himself and to the people of
the state.'

If northern Minnesota is to &C.

The senate committees will have much

these committees In the senate are

Roosevelt was only few days in
Egypt, but felt himself qualified to
give all sorts of advice to the natives
He told them to be satisfied with
John Bulls government and not
aspire to freedom. Strange to say,
the thlck-headed jewellers in the valley
OF the Nile didn't appreciate the ad-
vice. They seemed to think that they
knew more about their country than q
casual visitor could. While the ex-
president is touring Europe, he should
not pass the opportunity OF settling
the questions which vex the European
nations. 1t will be easy-for him
and Will sort of keep his hand in
before he reaches his native land and
settles everything worth settling.

A city is but the larger family.
The streets. it has been we'll said, are
simply an extension of the home.
And SO the street should be an ex-
preston of the home. That means
clean, decent streets. When you
invite stranger into the home you
know that the cleanliness and decency
is pleasant for him. When a stranger
comes into tie big family home called
a city, what must he think of the
dwellers therein, to find some, perhaps
many, parts dirty, unclean, uninvit-
ing? Clean your city, keep 1t clean,
physically and morally, and the
stranger will long to join the family.

that the faithful fellow ever made
any remarks about the CANNES that

The Minneapolis Tribune advocates
the extension of the primary law to
all state Offices. We believe this to be
better than the present condition, but
while the advantages of the primary
law are thus extended its evils are
undimlnlshed. Under tho present
open primary system the rich man and
the dishonest poor man have an adj
vantage over the honest poor man.
The rich man has the means by which
he can secure publicity, ana the dis
honest poor man can secure the means

preventing certain legislation. The
honest poor man will not sell him.

While this might not prevent the

although this can possibly be
corrected by legislation, it would give
the poor man a chance to make a

Of free government is that there shall
be equality before the law. The
fullest and most free discussion of
men and issues as is desired. A
