Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1910-07-08

tom Noswal," the experienced political
observer of the Mortified News says in the
course of his account of the Republican state
convention
There was a story told me by gentleman
generally we'll informed as to what is going on,
on the inside, to the effect that very recent
evening, Mr.. Gordon was approached by certain
St. Paul politicians whose affiliations very
we'll known and who were in close toach also
with the governors ante-convention campaign.
AS the story goes they took him up into high
mountain from which view spread of
pleasant places and delectable gardens and
orchards, with hanging fruit ripe for the pick
ing. These were to be his if only he would be
good and play ball. Gordon, it appears, con-
cluded he didn't need either pleasant places or
delectabIe gardens or orchards in his business.
Besides, he told them he thought it all a
mirage and they couldn't deliver the goods.
Likewise he had them beaten anyway and was
quite content to fight it out On the line he had
chosen. His confidence, it appears, was not
misplaced"

lie duties as regent of the state university and
this is indeed important Office. The inter
ests of the university large, and as presi-I
dent of the board of regents, a man can do most
satisfactory work in the development of this
great institution.
Mr. Lind also declares that he is Ineligible
for the office because he is a member of the
board of regents This law was passed last
year, and would probably not be upheld by the
supreme court, bat the object of the law
good one, and Mr.. Lind appears to take the
ground that he is morally if legally bound by
its provisions. The object of the law was to
keep politics out of the board of regents, and as
Mr.. Lind accepted the Office with the limitation
which the law imposes, he is morally bound to-
abide by it.
Mr.. Lind also takes definite stand on the
most discussed public question in the state to-
day-that of county option-and his position is
not that which his party would be expected to
agree with He does not mention county OPP
ton, but he does say that it is fundamental
Democratic doctrine to accord to each admin
istrative division of the state the right to adopt
such police regulations as the people deem
most conducive to their welfare" This is not
only clear-cut statement of his position, but
also one of the best definitions of county option
yet given.
He may have put in this last declaration
with the expectation that it would eliminate
him from consideration by the Democratic
leaders, but strange it may seem, there is a
possibility of the Democratic platform declar
ing for county option.
Mr.. Lind talks like a man who would enjoy
the campaign much more than the office of
governor, and that he would run if he had full
assurance that he would be defeated

By Two New Methods

New York, Dec Two new meth
DDS of exterminating mosquitoes which
have been adopted with great success
In Honolulu have bean recommended
TO the New York health department
by Ernest Mott Smith, secretary OF
the Territorial government. who is
making his fTst visit to New York In
five years. One of the new methods
OF combating tho mesquite is by tho
use of gas while the other is the en-
ployment of mosquito fish.
The first method, according to Mr.,
Smith, was discovered by accident.
I'VE started using oil" he says. but
there was complaint that this 6ummed
up the sewage drains. and then our
chief sanitary officer hit upon the
use Of calcium carbide. One day in
cleaning his automobile lamps, he
threw some OF the calcium carbide
into an old bucket In which were lot
Of embryonic mosquitoes, The next
morning he discovered that the wig
glers were oil dead.
He made some experiments and
found that calcium carbide was al
most as inexpensive as oil and more
effective. so since then VIC have been
killing mosquitoes by gas.
Then We employ mosquito hsh.
They are little creatures from an inch
and a half to two inches long You
can take a jar so black with wigglers
that you cannot see through the wa
ter and put one OF these lish into IL
and In half an hour there will not be

fish are as transparent as glass when
empty. but after such a meal their
bodies are black with the wigglers
they have swallowed.
