Dawson Press: There is q good
deal in the newspapers lately about
Hanna making the race for govern
or. Just to be contrary we don't be-
lieve he will get a chance to make
much OF q race. From where we sit
it looks like the people viii take the
popular congressman on their shoui-
ders and carry him to the governors
chair.
Bathgate Pink Paper (dem): The
Griggs County Sentinel, in an article
Of some length, adheres to it's former
proposition for q meeting of demo-
Gratis before the March primaries, on
the ground that such a meeting
would create enthusiasm and awaken
democrats of the state to extra effort.
Following it's line OF argument 1t says,
whenever we wanted to forward any
particular movement, we called mass
meetings-from conservation to clear
ing the back alley" Farther, it says
it would be opposed to booming any
state candidate.
The idea OF democrats getting to-
gether for the purpose of creating en-
thusiasm and producing election re-
suits is an excellent one. 1t appeals
to us. The time for such q meeting Is
after the June primaries have been
held and the last bone OF contention
within party lines disposed Of Then
we will have our list of candidates and
can start the work of organization
and prepare to present a solid front
to the opposition. Meetings held be-
fore the primaries would be subject
to that discord which is consequent on
political aspiration and would be as
apt to result in harm as in good.

Switzerland is the tallest country in
Europe, and in fact. the tallest in the
world. 1t is so tall that it is impos-
sible for a person standing on the
ground to see more than one-tenth of
it, and to see all of it, 1t is necessary
to go up in a balloon. Switzerland
does not cover much territory, but Il
it were laid down on its side, 1t would
reach from the north pole to Antarc-
tic. They do not go by the compass
IN Switzerland, for they know only two
dtrections-ups and down.
The native Swiss are equipped ap-
parently with feet such as are pos
sessed by the musticae domesticae or
common housefy which gai1y ambIes
up and down the surface of a slip
perry mirror without danger OF falling.
A Swiss can walk up the side Of a
stand pipe and eat a ham sandwich at
the same time, If somebody will fur
nish the sandwich. The only law in
Switzerland. which is strictly enforced
Is the law of gravitation and that ap-
plies only to the tourists from the
mountain peaks and it is always a
wise precaution to carry an umbrella
Mountain climbing is the greatest of
outdoor sports in Switzerland. At the
hotel, every tourist wishing to make
climb. is furnished with an alpine
stock and a little hat with feather in
one side. The little hat with feather
is absolutely necessary, for without 1t
no tourist could climb over sewer
excavation in Switzerland. 1t would
be against the ethics and ethics are
very highly regarded in Switzerland,
most of them costing in the neighbor-
hood Of 92R each.
The guide goes first and attached
to his waist Is q stout rope. At the
end OF this rope is the first tourist.
Around the first tourists waist an
other rope is attached and at the end
of his rope Is the second tourist, and
so on. until seven or eight of them are
strung together all in row. This is
done SO that If tourist number should
fall off a cliff thousands Of feet
high. he would take all the rest of the
tourists and the guide with him. It is
not at all uncommon to see photo
graphs Of q guide clinging from
perately to the edge of cliff 10000
or $4,000 feet from the ground with
ten or twelve tourists dangling from
him and swinging in space. How they
get out Of a predicament of this kind
is never explained,
But 1t is not necessary to climb the
mountains to figure In an exploit OF
this kind. There are several photo
graph galleries in Switzerland ar
ranged for this very purpose. A man
may appear to be hanging by his teeth
from mountain vine 10000 feet in the
air, but he is not. He is only hanging
by his teeth in the photograph gallery
with his feet only about an inch and a
half from the floor. An alpinestock
Is wooden pole with spike at one
end and a fool at the other.
The main business OF the alpine
stock is to get between the tourists
legs and to tangle him up like a circus
acrobat or a man trying to undress in
the upper berth of Pullman sleeper
When this happens on the face Of q
slippery cliff, the tourist in question
/ starts back for the hotel immediately
on his elbows and shoulder blades at q

very high rate of speed and takes his
party with him.
1t always pays to be polite to a
guide and give him a chew of tobacco
when he asks for it. If he becomes
at all peeved during the trip up the
mountain, and grows tired Of the COM
pany he is in, all that he has to do is
to reach around behind him with his
jackknife and cut the rope, and the
company Immediately departs and the
guide is never bothered by that par
ticular party again.
The principal exports Of Switzerland
are yodlers, bell ringers, cheese and
moving picture films.
The Swiss yodler is In class By
himself and he can yodle louder and
longer than any other yodler in the
world II he can get money to get
out of Switzerland, he can yodle his
way around the various vaudeville cir
cults in the United States and pick up
fortune.

party organization. Or, II it did, 1t
would subject itself to just such criti-
cism as is made Of the old boss sys-
tenn.
Our party has always stood for the
primary election system as in contra
distinction from the convention sys-
tenn. since the proposition was first
mooted.
The object Of the primary law is to
do away with conventions. bringing
the initiative direct to the voter.
The contention of The Sentinel is
that a meeting should be called be-
cause we have no convention.

aries. strictly in accord with the de-
clarations OF our party or the spirit
of the law?
Does The Sentinel believe in the

II such meeting is called it will be
politicians and those who desire posi-
ton who will most largely attend. The
average democrat will not feel that
he can afford the time and the $25 or
$50 which it viii cost to attend. The

meeting the less likely he would be to
attend. which would make the meeting
| unrepresentatfve and local In its ma
ture. while its actions would go out
as representative OF general senti-

BEATING THE TRUST.

Prof. and Mrs. ]. H. LEWIS of Johns
Hopkins university have devised a
system whereby meat can be produced
by chemical process. There is hope
for the householders who are troubled
by the high cost of food.
The Baltimore scientist and his wife
have experimental with food produce
ton until they say they can put pieces
of chicken in certain saline solution
and grow chicken meat. Given an
organic cell to start with-they are
able to keep 1t growing indefinitely
outside Of the organism of which it
was originally a part.
Or. Lewis says this discovery may
make 1t possible in time to grow meat
on a commercial scale through chem
ical process. He is thus quoted in
The Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette:
The value of all these experiments
which my wife and / have conducted
has several different phases. For in
stance, it may some day have a great
commercial value. There is nothing to
prevent our operations from being
conducted on. much larger scale.
Suppose that you had a number of
watts filed with saline solutions, and
that in these solutions you put the
muscles or other organs of various
animals, not only while in the en-
bryo, but even when they had reach
ed the adult stage. There would be
large growths. and these would be
edible. In other words, the salt solu-
lions could be turned into incubators
sure to hatch, and from which pieces
of embryo chicks could be taken
every day without hindering the in
crease Of the supply.
1t will hardly be possible to grow
turkey for the forthcoming Thanks.
