GORDON SPEAKS

Sam Y. Gordon, publisher of
the Browns Valley Tribune, has
received many kind words from
his brother publishers all over
the state-outside the cities, of
course-who want him for lieu
tenant governor on the next Re-
publican ticket. So insistent has
been this demand that Bro. Cor
don, in the last issue of his ex-
cellent newspaper, makes the
following statement:
IF at any time the editor of
the Tribune should become a
candidate and enter upon a cam
paign for any Office within the
gift of the voters of the state,
he will do so without being aid
ed or hampered, as the case
might prove, by a promise of
any nature whatever, except the

the POSTAL DEFICIT

AS usual there is a big deficit
in the receipts of the postofice
department. President Taft and
his postmaster general come to
the front with a remedy for this
i'll of the postal service in the
shape of a proposition to raise
she rate on second class mail
-llatter. In other words, the
president and his departmental
head would tax the newspapers
a bigger rate than they are now
paying. The publishers already
have as heavy a burden as they
can carry in the form of high
prices for labor and printing
material. So high are these
prices, in fact, that profits in the
business have we'll nigh reached
the vanishing point. If the pap
ers are compelled to pay a high
er rate of postage they must eth
er continue business at a loss or
charge more for their product,
and this charge must come out
of the reading public.
The presidents recommends
ton has called forth a storm of
protest from the publishers all
over the country. If the govern
ment would abolish the much
abused ranking privilege of
members of congress, stop the
printing of envelopes below cost
and quit the paying of outrage
ously large subsidies. to the rail
roads for carrying the mails, the
deficit might be turned into a
surplus. That's business; the
presidents proposition is not.

Gov. Eberhart has appointed
II. A. Rider of Little Falls a
member of the Game and Fish
Commission to succeed Carlos E..
Avery. Mr.. Rider is now deputy
U. S. marshal and has served in
the legislature. He is well
known here as a competent Off
cial. The appointment is an ex-
cellent one. At the same time
the governor named Geo, T..
Bradley of Norwood to fill the
place left vacant by the expira-
ton of the term of John Fl. Grill
The appointment is also a good
one. The governor appears to
be giving close attention to the
affairs of his Office, even if he is
making lots of speeches.

VVYHEN Colonel Sneed dropped
WV in to say good morning to
w his daughter, young Mrs.
Rollins, he was surprised
to find her In tears.
"Why, what's the matter, honey?"
he inquired with tender solicitude.
Anything wrong with the baby?"
mo. papa. the baby's all right" she
answered, wiping her face and dab
bling a little powder on her nose.
Nothing happened to William.

puzzled.
Mrs. Rollins Strengthened up. and a
flash came into her eyes.
Eyes. papa. If you must know it.
something has happened to VIII. He
spent five minutes brushing his hair
this morning. he put on a red necktie.
and he's got a-got new typewriter"
At this revelation of masculine du-
plicity the colonel puckered up his
lips aud drew down his eyebrows to
hide the twinkle he couldn't suppress.
'SO-hO," he exclaimed, land that's
the way the land lies. is 1t? And you
Just put two and two together and

picions turn your pretty nose red.

AS TO EXPRESS RATES

While in the reforming indus
try, why don't some of the re-
formers take a hand at express
rates? If there is anything un-
der heaven more than another
that is an imposition upon a
long suffering public it is the
oppression of the express COM
panies. Their rates as a rule
are extortionate and there ought
to be some method devised to
put them on a reasonable basis.
To get pound package from the
Twin cities by express the con-
signee must pay thirty cents.
This service can be profitably
rendered for ten cents.
During the first week of the
switchmen's strike The Herald
was compelled to order stock by
express that under normal con-
ditions would have been shipped
by freight. A pound package
had affixed a charge of thirty
cents; a Is pound package cost
fifty cents; package weighing
ninety pounds cost Is cents.
Will some one kindly figure out
some equitable proportlonate
rate on these three consignments
from the cities.
A well known citizen of Long
Prairie owns an electric light
plant which broke down. The
defective piece, weighing about
a pound, was shipped to ST.
Paul and was four days on the
road notwithstanding the fact
that the shipper told the agent
he wanted quick service. The
1
new piece to replace the defect
i've one reached Long Prairie
the sixth day. The charge from
Long Prairie to st. Paul was
thirty cents, while the charge
from st. Paul to Long Prairie
was thirty-fve cents. And there
you are.
The Companies and their en-
Eployes seem to charge just about
what they see fit and if there is
"a graded system the public has
failed to detect it. In the cities
an additional charge is tackled on
for delivery. Take it all in all
the express business as it is run
is rotten and smells to heaven,
and needs a strong disinfectant
to cause it to cease to offend the
| public nostrils.

than lie.

It's as difficult for some men to keep

accompanied by the request that
it be published. If printed in

that requires considerable skill and

successfully. In drilling the holes the
safest plan Is to immense the china

with fine point is all that is needed.
