Talk about germs and microbes!
Whole generations of pioneers drank
from the same gourd and ate dried
apples and pumpkin that had been
strung up in cabins and used as fly
roosts for half year or more. There
were giants in those days, but not any
germs.-Ex. Sure, "them was the
happy days, eh, Bill?" OF course
they were giants. Nothing but a
giant could stand such living. "The
Old Oaken Bucket" with it's moss and
slime, and the dried apples polluted
by flies, may have had much to do
with the fact that the present gener
alton is so much weaker than those
"giants" were. You may go back to
those good days of drinking from a
gourd and eating off the fly roost, with
the giants, if you wish, but not for
us. We prefer the beautiful present,
and the golden future-with bath
once month, at least, and "haircut"
as often as New Years and the 4th of
July come around. "Giants but no
germs in those days" you say? You're
wrong. There were 80 many germs
in those days, is the reason there are
no giants now.

An advocate OF higher education in

An advocate OF higher education in
writing of the benefits of a college
course, asks these pertinent questions:
docs it pay to have four years
filled with the most delightful asso-
Citations with cultured people, at an
age when ambitions and high ideals
haye not been dulled or shattered by
disappointments, or the unbounded
faith in human nature shocked by
violated pledges2"
Having never had the advantages
of four such years, the writer cannot
answer from any experience of his
own, but if there is any possible way
to bring into ones life four such
years of delight, we are bound to be-
leive they would be worth more than
all the remaining years OF life, and
we would urge every young man tc
get those four years, no matter what
they cost.

President Taft went through Tole

President Taft went through Tole
do few days since at about 5 a. M,
but did not get up to look at the sub
urban Lake Shore depot, which was
a great error on the part of the Pres
ident as he will see by reading the
first page of the Blade. After
journeying to the outskirts of the
city where the Lake Shore permits its
trains to stop before passing on to
Delta, Bryan, and other large cities,
the Blade reporter, the Blade pho
togfapher, and two Blade Detectives
were permitted to enter the train en-
closure where the Presidents car was
waiting, but the heartless President
was soundly sleeping and refused to
open so much as one eye for the
Blade outfit. Even the uniformed
colored person" who guarded the
Presidents car turned up his nose at
the Blade company. 1t was an awful
Presidential frost that morning out at
the Lake Shore crossing, but when
election comes in 1912 the President
will undoubtedly have reason to regre
his lack of appreciation of the Official
visit from the Blade Office.

Auditing Books

The auditing committee of the
South Slavonic Catholic Union
have been in the city this week
checking up the accounts of Secre-
tary Brozich and Treasurer Gouze
of the society. This work is done
annually and as the society embra-
ces 27 states of the Union and a
large membership the work is a
laborious one and takes some time.
This is also the first year of the
new system of accounting inaug-
urated which has a tendency to
further add to the 1abors. AS
Messrs. Brozich and Gouze are
recognized as accurate and pain
stalking officials, the work is much
lighter than it ordinarily would be.

land near Red Lake and Cass Lake
will be opened to entry Aug. %.
An executive order to this effect
was issued last week. The order
comes after delay caused by inves-

Ninety thousand acres in all will

paid was mined during the fall and
consequently credited to the calen-

THE American Advertiser Pro-
tective Association is out after the
scalp of DR.. H. w. Wiley, the
chief of the bureau of chemistry OF
the U. S. and is making an awful
bluff at the newspapers to assist the
Association in removing this highly
useful official. DR.. Wiley has been
after the fake food manufacturers,
a class of grafters who are immense
advertisers and the circular sent
out by the Association some time
ago to every paper in the country
contained an implied promise that
to assist them in removing Wiley
would mean advertising and to
refuse would mean something else.
So far not a paper has come out
against Wiley and the Association

of stampeding the press to the

simply because the papers believe
DR.. Wiley is doing just exactly
what he was put there to do. Not
having met with the response from
the press anticipated, it was at
tempted to bulldoze DR.. Wiley out

THE state papers which claimed
that the last session of the legisla-
lature Gall but our own members)
was tied to the interests, tail and
hide, are now clamoring for an ex-
ira session to regulate things. A
chameleon changes its spots but
nevertheless remains a chameleon
and would it not be barely possible
that the interests could dominate
an extra session? 1t is admitted
that the railroad situation as devel-
oped by the Sanborn decision needs

apportionment was needed. Re-

THERE are those who seem to
think Governor Eberhart is not
making a very good governor and
ore limiting that he stay at home
and do something. The most re-
markable thing about the critlclzm
noticeable is that each and every
one has a separate and distinct
deed upon which the governor
should act. All the shortcomings
of the last legislation are laid to
Governor Eberhart, the whole
seemingly being cooked up to ex-
cuse the representative and senator
of each respective district.

WE often read in stock-market
reports that the shares of a certain
mining company sold off after the
payment of dividend and did not
regain the amount. This is entire
ly normal. The dividends paid by
a mine come wholly out of resources
that are gradually exhausted. If
the value of share in company of
known resources is a certain num-
Der of dollars today, its value is
somewhat less after the payment of
each dividend. The stockholder
cannot eat his cake and have it too.
The value of any mining share nor
mally diminishes with the produc-
ton of the mine. The failure of
this principle to obtain more gener-
al recognition, however, is apt to
cause dividends to be all profit to
some shrewd persons, which is OBJ
tanned at the expense of unwary in
vestors, who buy empty bags at
high prices and hold them after the
wind has gone out Engineering

he was once riding on a railroad train

had she shot at us we would not have
been more thoroughly frightened.
