A Delightful Auto Ride.

Last Sunday morning Mr.. and Mrs.
O. A. Rudolph in their auto with
Miss Alice Rudolph at the wheel,
called at the home of the editor who,
with Mrs. Linn, took seats in the big
Nelie Car and started for BeresfOrd.
We drove south and west until we
got on the line between Highland and
Lincoln at the J. d. Hicks corner and
then south to the B. Solem corner
and west to the Marius Nelson corner
and then south into Beresford.
The country looked fine and the big
corn fields proved an attractive pic
ture as we rolled along. and the beau
tiful homes Of the sturdy yeomen
gave proof OF wealth and comfort.
and just before reaching Beresford we
noticed C.. A. Wheelock's cement
block residence.
After dinner at the Hotel Wilbur
and a visit with some of the old
time friends of Mr.. Rudolph, we
headed into Brooklyn township and
then north to Delaware and east to
the b. Solen cornor in Highland, and
then south to Norway and east to
Moe where we made a brief stop and
found Proprietor DahIe of the Moe
store at home. Our next stop was at
the =. S. Paulson place but there was
nobody at home. We looked around
for Bro. Paulson's big pear trees but
didn't find them and we returned 10
the main road and then north and
home.
The PaulSon home is a charming re-
treat, surrounded by all kinds of trees
and shrubs, with cement walks and
the residence is a handsome one nest
ling in a nook protected from the
gales that come out Of the northwest
occasionally.
TIE ride CT SO miles Or more was
delightfully."- pleasant, and the editor
and wife appreciate the kindness of
Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph and the care
full driving Of Miss Alice.

VOLUME %. NUMBER -

President Taft utterly r%epudiated
the demands of the people in his re-
sent Massachusetts speech, and at
the same time planned a tour of
Western progressive states to hurl
defiance in the teeth of every pro-
gressive citizen who oppose his stand
in behalf Of the tariff robbers. PreSi-
dent Taft has assigned himself a task
that will teach him that the Ameri-
can people have no use for a president
who proves unfaithful to party and
personal pledges. He seems like a
man beside himself with rage because
a great majority Of the people refuse
to follow him into Wall street.

Clellan to employ his time picking up

Ian afterward explained to Mr.. Lin
coin why he did not attend the cabinet
meeting, at which the president seem
ed amused.
The differences between the two gen
erals involved n much more serious mat
ter than social precedence. however.
McClellan's plan of organization con
templated brigades, divisions, corps
and armies. He objected to the old
geographical divisions. In all except
the brigade formations Scott opposed
him. The general in chief insisted
that the geographical divisions were
necessary. He also sale that he had
only brigade organization in Mexico
and implied hat what was good
enough there vas good enough in the
war between the states. Mcclellan re-
joined hat the entire number of men
engaged in Mexico was but a handful
