Apples by the Roadside In Maine.

Along the highways in Topsham,
Me-. where new state roads are being
built, the abutters are grating the
wild apple trees outside with summer
apples, early fruit that will be ripe
and ready for the wayfarer, no matter
whether he travel by taeSold Dobb;I.
the automobile or shank's mare.
On these trees metal signs are to be
placed informing the public that the
fruit is for public use, simply request
ing the same care and consideration
for others, in picking the same that
was shown by those who have planted
the trees Or grated them for the use
Of all.
The idea is worthy of emulation
everywhere. 1t shows a spirit of hos
pitality. It advertises the Maine
apple, it brings the summer visitor to
Maine.
All this part of the new spirit OF
progress that is coming to the
countryside of Maine trimmer roads.

royal entertainers, Bro. Pease of the
Union, Judge G:ddings and his
brother, Thaddeus, Superintendent

Trip to Taylors Falls.

Dr.. and Mrs. Cooney, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ben. Soule, Mr.. and Mrs. G. A.
Jack and DR.. and Mrs. Small made a
trip to Taylors Falls on Sunday in
Mr.. Jacks and DR.. Cooney's automo-
biles. The party left Princeton at I
a. m. and proceeded through North
Branch and Center City to the falls.
The day was pleasantly spent at the
Interstate Park and at the great con-
crete dam where the electric power for
the Twin City Rapid Transit company
is generated. The party returned in
the evening, reaching Princeton
about 10 o'clock.
The entire trip covered over 100
miles and the worst roads we're en-
countered near North Branch. The
sand in that region is much darker
than our Princeton sand and infinitely
worse to travel through, Mr.. Jack
says.

Another Candidate for District ,Jndp.


Mr.. G. NJ. johnson announces his
candidacy for district Judge of the
Seventh judicial district in another
column. Of Mr.. johnson his home
paper, the Detroit Record, says:
"We believe with many others that
he is unusually we'll fitted to fill the
position on the bench which is soon to
be vacated by Judge Baxter, and we
further believe that the voters of this
county will use every honorable
means to secure his nomination at the
September primaries and his election
in November.
Believing that the Office should
not be sought or given as reward
for political services, merit and abili-
ty will be the standard in the honor
able, digniied and professional cam
paign which Mr.. johnson will make.
He will endeavor to personally meet
as many of the voters as possible and
will try and reach the others through
the mails and press.''

The Consumer PAYS for Bad Roads.

The city dweller, the wage Garner, is
quite likely to look upon the subject
OF good roads as a matter that con
Germs the farmer and need not worry
MIN. He does not stop to consider
that he is paying Indirectly, in in
creased cost of living, the price of
hauling over poor roads. He pays a
wheel tax on everything he eats and
wears. If the roads are bad and the
haulage high, he contributes accord
ingly, although he may not realize
that fact
Suppose, for example, a farmer
lives five miles from town and has To
haul his grain over a road so poor
that it is possible for him to make
only one trip day. The cost of
getting his crop to market will be
about 5 cents a bushel. If the road is
improved so that he can make two
trips day or can double his load
without additional horses he will save
Ss5 on every 1000 bushels, according
to figures compiled by the Department
of Agriculture. That S25 is absolute
waste. The city man may think that
it comes out of the farmers pocket.
but as a matter of fact it adds to the

Is Gordon Marked for Slaughter:

I have said that Gordon objected to
Smiths selection. He had reason, il
there is any truth in the stories that
are going around. for it is no secret
that some of the governors friends
and supporters have marked Mr..
Gordon for slaughter. A conference
in the German American bank build
ing didn't have to be waited for this
time. Orders are said to have come
direct from the headcenter of the
brewers combine who made no secret
of their issuance. The proposition is
to work both ends against the middle.
The poison is already being instilled
in the minds of the friends of TEN per-
ance reform to whom it is intimated
that they have an understanding with
the candidate for lieutenant governor.
'So-called republican politicians in
st. Paul who are really in the pay of
the brewers combine, who are poll
tically closely associated with Sena-
tor Smith, are already working with
scarcely any concealment against
Gordon. With the liquor interests he
is marked man. If in their effort to
defeat him they can enlist the cooper
alton of the friends of TEN perance the
trick they calculate will be turned.
Naturally the suggestion that he will
refuse in the selection of committees
to follow the policy Of his predecessor
does not sit well in certain quarters.

high cost of production and eventual
Y is maid nv tho conr,,nor

high cost of production and eventual
ly is paid by the consumer.
One of the fundamental reasons for
the increased cost of living is the in
creasing gap between the producers
and consumers of the country and the
expense of bridging that gap. A cen
tury ago the producer and consumer
were practically the same. Only a
small percentage OF the people did
not raise what they ate and wore.
They had to pay no middlemen' IS
profit and no transportation charges.
Today only a small percentage raise
what they consume. What they use
has to be carried to them. Whatever
adds to the cost of carrying increases
the price they have to pay. And there
is no doubt that poor roads add to
the cost of transportation and to the
amount Of wheel tax the consumer has
to pay.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

New Sidewalks,

Bergman Brothers have just com
pleted fine lot of cement sidewalk
and gutter on north Main street. A
full half block of the latter, extend
ing from the Marks corner to the
alley beside Moeger's tailor shop,
will soon be ready for use, and fine,
wide sidewalks have been laid in front
OF Gillespie & Stoneberg's harness
shop. Henschel's restaurant, Mr..
Townsend's new building and Mr..
Moeger's building. A crossing is
also being laid on Main street half
block north of First street.
Princeton probably has more good
cement sidewalks than any other town
of it's size in this section of the state
and we may all be justly proud OF the
fact.

A Brutal Outrage.

The Washington Star gives wings to
a rumor that President Taft and his
cabinet have under consideration q
scheme for requiring the department
clerks in that city to work eight hours
day. The clerks protest, the Star
protests, and it says that the business
men OF Washington propose to bring
the matter before the local board of
trade and the chamber of commerce.
An eight-hour day for these over
worked and underpaid employees is
utterly indefensible. The scheme
ignores entirely the nervous and
physical strain of trying to keep
awake for eight weary hours on a
stretch, broken only by an interval
for lunch. It is true that very large
majority of the workers of the United

Mr.. VIM. Shenton, a prosperous
Sherburne county farmer, who resides
on section Is in the town of Becker,
accompanied by his son-in-law, Mr..
e. A. Miller, we're callers at the

Miller had been operated upon that
morning at the Northwestern hospital.
Mr.. Shenton is native of England
and has been resident of Becker
township for more than 30 years. He
is one of those hard-headed old farm
ers who believes in honesty in politics
as well as in religion and business.
Mr.. Miller is the buyer for the
Crescent Creamery company at Big
Lake. In Mr.. Shenton's estimation
Theodore Roosevelt is one of the
greatest men of this age.

cratic county committee of Beltrami
county. Mr.. Johnson, regardless of
his political proclivities, is a good

cludes to make try for state Office
that surname of his should be worth
$1,000 votes to him. And, by the way,
many less deserving men have been
elevated to positions of trust and
emolument in this state. The Rum
river valley has given Beltrami and
several OF the other northern counties
many good enterprising citizens. Our
loss is the northern counties gain.

will Never Return to old system.

Will Never Return to Ola system.
A Colorado visitor criticises our
method of placing all state institu-
tions under the general supervision of
the board Of control, and argues for
the old system Of board for each in
stitution, made up of residents of the
community in which the institution is
located. That, he declares, is the
order of things in Colorado, and it
appears to him to be a much wiser
method of managing state institutions.
This critic, however, probably does
not know that Minnesota tried that
plan and developed its weaknesses,
and that, because of the unsatisfac-
tory results which it produced, the
change was made to the present sys-
TEN.
The board of control is burdened
with a great deal of responsibility and
a large amount of important work:
but we have yet to hear any demand
for a return to the old and wasteful
system, where management by local
boards led to organized raids upon
the state treasury, where each board
felt it to be it's duty to secure as large
an appropriation as possible for it's
own institution, and was not always
scrupulous about combinations with
other boards for the purpose of
swelling the appropriations.
The present system is much simpler,
more business-like, and, we believe,
produces much better results. It GER
tainly ought to make for economy in
the purchase of supplies and in the
management Of the business affairs of
these state institutions, leaving the
matter of uperintendence in expert
hands, where it ought to be, with such
oversight for the protection of the in
mates as the board of visitors
provides.
A more careful examination of re-
suits would doubtless satisfy the
Colorado critic that the machinery
provided in this state at the present
time is better than that whose lack he
deplores, and that Colorado would
gain by the adoption of the. Minnesota
plan.-St. Paul Dispatch.
