By o. M. Thomson.

One morning, about 612 years be-
fore Christ, the inhabitants of the
icty of Jerusalem read in the Jeru-
salem Morning News the following
little want ad:. Run We through the
str cts of Jerusalem and see if we
can find a man" The address at
which the applicant was to apply was
that of jeremiah the Jewish prophet.
Knowing the value of newspaper pub
licity the sage had taken this means
to let his wants known; and it had
the desired effect for by noon he had
plugged his telephone so that he
could get time to open the bundle of
letters the postman brought on his
second round.
The Jewish theologIan smiles self
confidentially as he read the an
nouncement; the Greek thought
gloatingly of his perfect physique and
the Roman contemplated with salts
faction the daring deeds of bravery
and heroism of himself ami fellows
on the field of batrIe. Here were four
standards of measurement. jeremiah
had in mind an ideal man and the
Jewish doctor believed he possessed
those ideals because of his strict OBJ
servance of the forms and ceremonies
of Jewish religion; the Greek be-
heved he would come up to the
standard because of his physical per-
lection; the Roman was sure he
would fill the bill because of his re-
lation to Roman soldiery and so Jere-
miah was deluged with answers to his
advertisement
Two hundred and seventy-five
years later there was an incident oc-
CURED over in Greece which goes to
show that the dearth of men was not
confined to Jerusalem alone. One
day while the waters of self-confi-
dence were perfectly calm and placid
there appeared upon the street of the

Boston. Mass, Jan. 1O.-Boston'
whtrlwind municipal campaign, which
has been one Of the bitterest in the
history of the city, ended today. To.
morrow voters will elect a mayor
nine councilmen and school COM
misioners. The election has attract
ed national attention as it is the first
to be held under the new city chart
er adopted by the vote of the citizens
of Boston last November.

of aldermen is ( polished and the
council is reduced to nine members

The mayor is to be elected for term
of four years instead of two as here
tofore, and is subject to recall after
two years by not less than a majority
of all the voters of the city. Candi-
dates for mayor, councilmen and
school committee are nominated by
petition and all party designations
are eliminated from the official bal
lot. Another interesting provision
of the new charter is that all de-
partment heads appointed by the ma
yor are subject to certification by the
civil service commission, instead of
being compelled to secure confirma-
ton to the council, as has been the
case in the past
There are four candidates in the
contest for mayor. The fight is real

crat, and member of the banking
house of Lee. Higginson & Co., ami
John F. Fitzgerald, former demo-
Hubbard, the present republican may
or. and Nathaniel Taylor, a democrat
and editorial writer on the Boston
Globe, each feels that he will win.
Mr.. Starrow describes the cam
paign as "a moral issue" and the
Moral Issue" as Mr. Fitzgerald. and
Mr.. Fitzgerald speaks of Mr.. Stor-
rows methods as IAN effort to de-
bauch Boston electorate such as has
never been seen in the history of the
city,
.Mr. Starrow promises that if he
is elected Boston shall have a better
administration than ever before in |
the history of the city. He will see,
he says, that all the city money is |
spent honestly. that grating con-
tractors do not get chance to divide
with dishonest city officials and that
all city departments shall be con-
Quoted without regard to political af-
file tons. He is going to check the
increase of the city debt he says, and
has positively declared that the only
interest he has is to advance the well
fare of Boston. At the same time
ne wants it distinctly understood
that he isnot a reformer.
Mr.. Fitzgerald. in his numerous
speeches, has advocated a bigger,
buster and better Boston. He has

schools at Clements and in District
No. 10. in North Hero township, be-
came semi-graded, having two de-
partments. District No. 10 is the
first two-department school outside
of village. 1t is an example Of
what can and ought to be done in
schools large enough to maintain
two teachers. Such beginnings
should form a good nucleus for
strong consolidated schools in the
future. 1t would be well for school
boards of other districts to inyesti-
gate the venture Of this district.
Our purpose is to so plan and arr
range the work in the rural schools
that pupils can finish the eighth
grade. Thus teachers are encour-
aged to make an effort to prepare
classes to pass the state high school
board examinations in the common
branches. During the past year
forty three passed these examina-
tons and received county diplomas
in recognition thereof.
In reviewing the work Of the
year, we are very forcibly reminded
of the hearty co operation and re-
Spouse on the part Of teachers, par
ents and school officers. To build
up school system is not the work of
an individual, but the combined will
and purpose of all concerned. May
this cooperation and mutual conf
dence grow and become greatly in
tensified the coming year.

SENATOR CLAGUf AT BEMlDJI.
Predicts Eberhart Win Easily Win and
that Hammond viii Lose.

A correspondent of the Minneap-
oils Evening Journal interviewed
Senator CIague last week and this
is the way he quotes our fellow
townsman:
Governor Eberhart will be elect
ed, and | feel confident that there
will be reapportionment bill passed
at the coming session Of the legisla-
ture. but | am not so sure that it
will become effective at once" said
Senator Frank Clague of Redwood
Falls, who is in Bemidji. Mr.. Clague
was chairman of the senate commit
tee on reapportionment two years
ago. Of James Gray. the democrat
ic candidate, the senator said:
Il haven't read Mr.. Gray's speech
in full, but it seems to me that his
declaration for county option has
cooked his goose. In the first place,
his official acts while mayor of Min
neapolis do not entirely harmonic
with the attitude he now assumes.
''Of course, if the country news
papers were to take up Mr.. Gray as
they did John A. johnson, and the
travelling men should rally to his aid
and tits said they are quietly go
ing to work in his behalf Mr.. Gray
might generate enough strength to
let Governor Eberhart know he is in
the race. But, as | size up the stu
ton at this time. Mr.. Gray hasn't
the ghost OF a show.
1t looks as if Mr.. Ellsworth would
retire Mr.. Hammond" said the SEN
ator. 1T is admitted that Ham
mond is strong and that the fight
will be a hard one, but it is a good
guess that Minnesota's next con-
gressional delegation will be solidly
republican.

SHALL WE BUY
FAIR GROUND?
Question to be Submitted Tomorrow
Morning at Popular Meeting
at the Court House.

At meeting called last night at
the Commercial Club rooms, the
matter of buying fair grounds for
the benefit Of future fairs was dis
cussed at some length. and resulted
in a reference of the final decision
to popular meeting to be called at
the court room tomorrow. Wednes-
dav morning, at IL o'clock sharp.
While majority of the business
men maintained that the present ar
rangement helped business better
than a fair ground with its paid ad
mission features, no defense was
made for the carnival schemes, and
there was practical agreement that
the fair ground was the thing if the
farmers would take hold of the fair
and make it their own. and that the
business men would get behind and
push such fair financially and 9TH
erwise, with the one purpose of max
ing the annual meeting an up-to-date
demonstration of what the farmers
of this county are doing.
The general discussion included
some remarks from Prof. Tomhave,
who spoke by invitation of the pro-
gress made at a number of county
fairs in various parts of the state,
where the use of fair grounds had
been abandoned aud again taken up
as a prime necessity for a successful
fair.
AS a Fult of the discussion, the
chair was directed to appoint a COM
mittee of seven or more, with the
suggestion that the committee in
clude five practical farmers, the
committee to make special effort to
get out a good representation of
both farmers and business men to
hear and discuss the proposition for
issuing stock for the purpose of buy
ing fair grounds. at the meeting to-
morrow morning.
The committee appointed to find
the cost of buying suitable grounds
reported on three different PROPOSE
tions, the one most in favor being
the purchase of the old grounds at
about the price of ordinary improved
farm lands close to the city. The
fact that the old race track and
some of the buildings are in toler-
ably fair condition seemed to make
this the best ground to invest in.
but the whole matter will ultimate
ly depend largely on the result of
the popular meeting tomorrow.
Every farmer in this vicinity at
least, has financial interest in any
proposition which helps to make his
farm more desirable either to sell or
to live on. A live county fair would
certainly be one of these helps.
The meeting agreed on making
the shares of stock to be solicited
put at ten dollars per share. so that
every one interested might buy at
least one share. The amount neces-
sary to make start and the number
of shares to be issued was left to be
settled at the popular meeting to-
morrow.
