the necessity of its use except at
rare intervals, and we fail to see
why, with all due Difference to the
judgment of the president, judges
should be more exempt from it's

who owe their official position to

devised by some thirty southern
Minnesota senators gave to each of
the three big cities one additional
senator and elk additional senators

JOHN WANAMAKER is accredited
by the business world with know
ing something about advertising,
and John Wanamaker says "Adver-
Using doesn't jerk; it pulls. 1t be-
gins very gentle at first, but the
pull is steady. It increases it's
power day by day and year and
year, until it exerts an Irresistible
power" And when one stops to
consider that John Wanamaker
started business with a 500 stock
and then went and contracted $50
worth of advertising to help him
turn it quickly, with the result that
his advertising account finally ex.
ceeded the MILAN mark annually,
it 10 evident his judgment in the
matter should have some weight
on the progressive business mind.

AND cay, that Lorimer investiga-
ton commences to take on a new
tinge of interest to Virginians since
President Hines, of the Virginia &
Rainy Lake company has become
the central figure as being the man
accused of having raised the one
hundred thousand dollar slush
fund for the senator's election. And
that interest is not in the least dim
med by the denials of the former
wielder OF the goad-stick and the
equally emphatic assertion of sev-
eral other prominent gentlemen
that Mr.. Hines personally solicited
contributions to assist in replacing
the amount he had claimed to have
advanced.

Taft's Canadian reciprocity agree

that such an agreement would con-

looks az though Mr.. Taft and the

a possibly recalcitrant democratic
house to take care of in the settle
ment of the question of free trade

IN the efforts of the Study Club
to have passed an ordinance against
the use of soft coal in certain Sec
tons of the city, doing away with
the attendant smoke nuisance, the
body will have done something for
which the people as whole may
rise up and call them blessed. The
smoke nuisance is one thing which
can and should be abolished, and
after the passage of the ordinance
we trust it's provisions may be
strictly enforced.
DULUTH was on Wednesday voted
an appropriation of $4,000 by. the
state Legislature for the establish.
ment of an experiment or demon
stration farm. From anything we
ever Saw in Duluth, and we have
had speaking acquaintance with
her since '89, it will take the full
amount to excavate the rock on the
proposed site, if anywhere within
the corporate limits, and the big
town at the head of the lakes will
later seek an equal or greater ap-
preparation to haul in dirt with
which to build the farm.
