Upon personally interviewing Mr.
Kimball We found that he was not a
candidate and We took the first op-
portunity 10 make his position known.
Now the last issue of the Democratic
organ in speaking of this matt er
says, The statement Of the Republi-
can does Mr.. Kimball an injustice. "
We now rise to inquire in what re.
spect did il do him an injustice? Is it
because the office is not an honorable
one, or was 1t because OF the asso,
ciates with which Mr Kimballs name
appeared?

lance of which we may not realize"
To a large extent portions of Vir-
GINA are still war saddened, the
country growing to timber, BRAN
bles and brush. But it's treasures
of climate and sunshine mo Union
armies could loot or Southern in
dolence IMPAIR
Nowhere in the world, so our
government wise men tell us, are
lands so full of potential wealth
valued so low. Nowhere are such
rich possibilities so sadly neglected.
Ignorance, and the easy going days
before the war, are responsible for
these conditions. AS a result, a
large acreage of the South is now
listed at prices ranging from $40 to
500 per acre. But what is lost to
the South under these conditions is
gain to the man wise enough to
take advantage of it.
The South is a natural stock coun-
try. What the cow is worth, and
the knowledge to make the
right use of her, in the South is al
most unbelievable. 1.-The state
ments of agriculture facts made by
the Government experts, are thrill
ing as romance. If only half was
true, neither the Golden Klondike
nor the Virgin West holds such op-
portunities as these neglected lands
of Old Virginia.

tuberculosis In
Rural Districts

tuberculosis in rural districts is
being investigated by the Wiscon-
sin Anti-Tuberculosis association,
not only to show to what extent the
disease is prevalent on the farm,
but to show the necessity of sana-
toria in districts which have no
large communities.
The idea has been prevalent that
tuberculosis is a disease of the
cities; that rural districts practi-
cally are free from it. 1t is known,
however, that fifteen deaths occurred
in one family on a Wisconsin farm,
and that another family was entire
ly wiped out by the disease.
In both instances, due to ignor-
ance, it was believed that the dis
ease was hereditary, and the neces-
sity of precautions, of methods of
preventing the infection of normal
ly healthy members of the family,
was unknown.
Dunn county has been selected
for this rural survey, not only be-
cause tbs believed to be a represent
tative district, but because of the in
terest of its inhabitants in the
white plague fight, and the possibil-
tiles of assistance from the county
training school. The survey, which
is being conducted by Katherine
Gedney, field secretary of the asso-
citation, has been under way for
nearly two weeks. 1t is expected
that it will be finished early in
March. More than $50 cases have
been located in the county.
Not only will accurate informa-
ton be had relative to the ravages
of consumption in rural districts,
but the investigators serve as val
liable educational agents, instruct
ing patients and their families as to
proper care, method of cure and the
necessity of preventing the infec-
ton of others.

GEORGE WASHINGTON

One virtue which distinguished
George Washington from other men
who have achieved greatness strike:
a vibrant chord in the hearts of mil
lions of his fellow countrymen this
week as they commemorate the 179tk
anniversary of his birth. That was
his unsel6shness.
In this age of commercialism
with it's lust for money, its greed
for material power and social pres
tige, it is difficult to imagine man,
so free of personal vanity and love
Of self exaltation as to feel an honest
sense of resentment in the sugges-
tion of his admirers that he turn to
his individual advantage the tri-
umphs of the heroic little army he
did SO much to keep together and
declare himself King of the Amer
lean colonies. To many the servile,
obsequient manner assumed toward
the nobility of other countries now
a-days by many Americans, who
bow to the fetch of royalty like the
tories Of old and who appear to be
ashamed of their democratic hertz
age must seem the survival of that
snobbish spirit in the land, to
which the decision of Washington
to keep faith with the people
brought such keen disappointment.
By his waiver of all salary due him
for his eight years service as Com
mander in Chief Of the Continental
Army, his insistence that he be al
lowed to retire to private life at the
end of his second term as President
and his refusal to accept for
himself or his descendants any
other honor than the abiding
confidence and esteem of his appre-
ciative country, he set his fellow
countrymen of succeeding genera
tions an example in unselfishness
which they might contemplate with
profit on this anniversary.
To him the respect of his fellow
man was worth more than the flimsy
splendor of a crown or the emolu-
ments of an office for the establish
ment of which his compatriots
poured forth their blood and offered
up their lives on a hundred battle
fields from Lexington to Yorktown

cation, that it is good place to in
vest money, with more than ordi-
nary possibilities of profit; uncom-
monty good for the young man with
out means other than a healthy
body. a good head and the right
bringing up.

thing detrimental to the ST. Croix

years in Polk county, and have no
reason to complain of the financial
advantages of this section; nor of
the social or educational advan-
tages, which are good But l do
register a kick on our climate.
Originally this portion of the
globe was inhabited by fur bearing
animals. Mankind, ever restless,
moved this way. In order to stay
he has appropriated these animals
pelts until they are nearly extinct.
What temperament is to individ-
uals, climate is to localities, the
mysterious .arbiter of possibilities
and limitations. 1t was climate
that set the roots of slavery deepest
in the South, and so brought about
the South's ruin. 1t is climate
again that is working the South's
rehabilitation. Irresistible as the
call of sex, the climate lure of
the South is drawing Northern cap.

OLD VIRGINIA
G. A. Taylor Finds The South
More Alluring Than the
West

For the benefit of friends and old
acquaintance, and others as we'll
who are daily making inquiries, per-
sonally and by mail, in regard to
Old Virginia, where l intend to To-
cate soon and make my future
home, write this letter.
Last May began a trip overland
to the Pacific coast, with covered
wagon and four horses. l did
make most of the trip by team,
driving entirely across Minnesota,
South Dakota, Idaho, Washington
and Oregon. In this manner saw
the West as very few people have
seen it since the days before the
railways stretched across the desert
to the Pacific. Ofthis trip l will only
say that, after looking that country
over for nearly five months, in my
opinion the Great West beyond the
Missouri is over-estimated, over-ad-
vertised, and, as a rule, misrepre-
sented-the poorest kind of a place
for a poor man, and a very risky
place for mar of means to invest
his money.
Now, in regard to Old Virginia,
and it will apply to other portions
of the South as well, | am firmly

The week in Congress has been
of great interest and Importance in
Legislative matters. The House has
passed the Canadian Reciprocity
bill by large majority and il is
predicted that the bill will pass the
Senate 1t will not, however, have
smooth sailing and if it were not
for the impression that the Presi-
dent will call an extra session of
Congress almost Immediately after
the 18th of March, provided the SEN
ate does not vote on the reciprocity
bill, it is doubtful if a vote could be
had before the 9TH of March. If the
bill comes TO a vote, there is but
little doubt that it will be passed,
because majority in favor of the
bill in the Senate is conceded, but
owing to parliamentary usage in the
Senate, there can be limitless de-
bate, and the upper house has some
limitless debaters who are quite
capable of talking the bill into the
next session.

faithful member of each until his
death.
In 1898 he was elected Member Of
the Assembly of Wisconsin serving
during the term of 1899. He also
served some time as a member OF
the District School Board and in
other local positions.
For several years he has been
Vice President of the Farmers &
Merchants State Bank and of the
River Falls Mutual Fire Insurance
Company as well as of the River
Falls City Mutual Fire Insurance
Company.
His life work was concentrated in
his newspaper. This work he loved
and it increased in size and reputa-
tion from. time to time and it became
a model local paper. AS an editor
he was painstaking always. Every
article received his personal atten-
ton and he prided himself in neat
and accurate mechanical work in
his paper and in the other work of
the Office as we'll.
AS an editor he was necessarily a
politician. In this as in other things
he was conservative by nature and
slow to accept new theories without
careful investigation. The columns
of the Journal were always open to
fair discussion of any public mat
ters and on being assured of the
propriety of any public movement
he gave it his hearty support. He
was never bitter in his editorials.
He gave the benefit of the doubt in
matters in which others differed
from him.
In all discussions of public mat
tiers his language was kindly and
courteous and he was liberal in Civ
ing place to matters of public inter-
est.

Died, at his home in the city OF
River Falls, on the 18th day of Feb
ruary, A. D. 1911, Calvin Randall
Morse, aged, SO years, 6 months
and 7 days. His death resulted
from stroke of paralysis which
afflicted him at his office February g.
Mr.. Morse was born at Bethel
Vermont, August IL, 1847, his par.
ents being Abner Morse, Esq, and
Mary Randall Morse. In the year
of 1855, the father removed to Wis.
consin, coming here by team most
of the way and arriving at River
Falls in the fall. The family joined
him in the spring of 1856.
Randall, as his friends loved tc
call him, received his early educa.
ton at the River Falls public schools
and he learned the printer art at
Ellsworth, Wisconsin, his teacher
being M. B. Kimball, afterwards
known as the blind printer"
In 1872, the father and son re-
vived the River Falls Journal, and
conducted it together until 1877,
when Randall took the whole charge
of it himself, and has edited and
published it from that time. He
married Miss Mary B. Horton,
August 4, 1879. This marriage was
very happy one. By her, he had
three children: Raymond Horton
who died when but fourteen months
old, Marvin Abner, a promising lad
who died March Is, 1900 and Stanley
Randall, who survives his father.
Mrs. Morse died September 9, 1886.
She was a woman of rare culture
and much beloved by all who knew
her.
Mr.. Morse became a member of
the Masonic Order in 1869, and of
the 1. O. o. F. in 1871 and was a
