The primary election is on today
in our sister state Of Wisconsin and
there will be widespread interest in
the result, particularly as regards
Senator LaFollette. While the writ
er was in Wisconsin two weeks ago
he was impressed with the fact that
Badger state citizens are a good
deal more wrought up than are the
voters of Minnesota. Almost every
dead wall and telephone post was
decorated with posters and candi-
date cards. While county option is
an issue in Wisconsin as we'll as Min
nesota, it does not seem to be so
generally championed by the coun-
try press. Strange to say, the
brewers are making a bigger 'hol-
Ter" than the county option people.
so far as posters are concerned. If
these are not more plausible than
one of them we saw at Sparta, the
temperance forces have not much to
fear from the literature of the
brewery promoters. This gorgeous
colored cartoon poster displayed a
pictured wall, the foundation stone
of which was labeled the brewery
industry or corresponding title,
while the county option man was
cartooned as having cable attached
to the stone in question, dragging it
out far enough so that the wall of
stones Of various sizes typifying
other industries was topping to a
fall. The suggestion that the brew
cry business is the foundation stone
of Wisconsin's prosperity cannot be
taken as exactly fiattering to the
average Wisconsin citizen. The
arguments accompanying the car
toon were on the same level of
plausibility, and showed that the
beer people are badly in need of
promoter Of some intelligence. How
ever, Wisconsin's brewery interests

Returns from the census so far
published lead to the conclusion that
Mr.. Rooseyelt's fears in regard to
race suicide in this country are we'll
founded. A recent census bulletin
deduces the conclusion that the nat
ural increase throughout the coun-
try for the past decade has been 6
per cent. as against q per cent. for
the ten years preceding. And the
further deduction is made that at the
present rate of decline it will take
less than ten years more for the
United States to begin to decline in
population instead of increase, I'M
less reinforced by immigration.
While this deduction may be over
drawn and sensational, a COMPARE
son of the average size of families
of American descent with those of
thirty or forty years ago will compel
the admission that the old-fashioned
large family is no longer common.
With the many discoveries being
made for prolonging life, the al
legged decrease argues something
wrong in our social system, one Of
them being the tendency of people
to flock to the cities instead of de-
veloping the life Of farm commun-
tiles where life is simpler and better
suited for the best development of
healthy childhood.

If Theodore Roosevelt is not a can
didate for president of these United
States, he certainly is making a noise
like one in his speaking tour in the
west. In his Kansas speeches Mr..
Roosevelt swung the big stick
against the special interests, declar-
ing that while they were entitled to
justice, they were not entitled to
vote in congress, voice on the bench
or representation in any public
office. Sounds like T. R. was max
ing insinuations.

After fifty years, justice is being

at his former Kansas home. Osawa-
tonne, where Theodore Roosevelt
addressed an immense crowd last
Wednesday at the second days cele-
bration Of the dedication of state
park on the old battlefield of
Osawatomie. While many have ar
gued that John Brown was insane,
history is likely to give its assent to
the summing up of one of the ora

the torch of liberty held in his i'm
placable and unrelenting hand John
Brown was Gods own incendiary to
purge the land with fire."

4 MORAL AND POLITICAL ISSUE.


With the primary election only
two weeks away, it is well to remind
our readers that there are other
issues than personal ones in the
coming election. The Republican
party of Redwood county, for the
past two election campaigns, has
taken the position that in the mat
ter of licensing saloons the people
of the county, whether in town or
on the farm, should stand on COM
mon level in their choice of whether
saloons should be licensed to do
business in the county. At the last
county convention, the Republicans
from all parts of the county, by an
overwhelming majority, instructed
our delegates to the state conven-
ton and our representative in the
state legislature to use all honor
able means in favor of the enact
ment of a county option law. At
the Democratic convention later, on
the other hand, resolution was
passed. among others, declaring that
county option has no place in poll
tics and instructing the delegates to
the state convention to oppose any
declaration in favor of county option
in the state platform of the party.
Here is a plain issue upon which
every voter should try and intelli-
gently record his choice at the
coming primary election. Mr.. Gim-
mestad, the only candidate who has
filed for the Republican nomination
for Representative, stands upon the
whole platform by choice as well as
under instructions of the convention,
and Mr.. Keefe makes no reserva-
tons as to his acceptance of the
Democratic pledge to oppose county
option.
The coming primary does not de-
eide who are to be the nominees on
the respective tickets for represent
ative, except in a mere formal
sense, there being no contest in
either party. But it will go far
towards deciding, inferential y,
whether the people of Redwood
county want saloons licensed by the
municipality as her etofore. In other
words, whether they are in favor of
the annual scrap at every village and
city election, as heretofore, on the
question of licensing the sale of
liquor tosthe people Of the town and
surrounding country. in considera-
ton of money paid into the treasury
of the town from which country
patrons of the soloons and their
families derive no benefit and gen.
orally speaking, infinite harm aside
the drain upon their financial re-
sources.
Every citizen should study this
proposition carefullyfbefore voting
and no voter should shrink from the
issue or fail to place himself on rec
ord. Think it over, and you will
vote for the Republican candidate if
you believe in the Republican doc
trine of government BY the people
and for the people.
While it is repretable that form

Senator Seward of Marshall is
probably wishing that he could
trade constituencies with Senator
Clague. Notwithstanding Stewards
acceptance of county option as his
platform, the county option element
OF that district appears to distrust
their senator and large following
is fiocking to the standard of Attor-
ney Lende Of Marshall. The out
come will only be known after the
primaries, and The Gazette assumes
that the voters Of that district will
choose a winner to represent them.

satin arranged in folds are in evidence
With these there are wonderful facings
Of velvet that promise a broad band Of

The greatest length is from front to
pack, while the trimming is arranged
at the left side generally. Huge bows
buckles or wings are adjusted with lust
a suspicion Of a backward slant. Huge
crowns Of roses are also used on turbans
that have the brims slanting down in
the manner of 4 bell. The backward
tendency is observable here also.
When the turbanS are entirely Of
satin. silk or velvet. the amount OF ma
terial required is almost unbelievable.

able folds of material are laid and ar
ranged 20 concentrate high on one SIDE,
where the ends Of the fabric are ma

He was aware Of my presence, for his

fixed intently on me. Yet, with head
thrown back and wings slightly
dropped. he sang fiercely on, the qUiv-

forth ripping melody. Cautiously 1
