Orr was the most popular of the

In the hope of subduing the fe-
male terrorists who parade under the
name of militant suffragettes the
London judges are giving members
of the organization who violate the
law the maximum sentence in Jail.
The would-be assassin, Mary Leigh,
who hurled a Ratchet at Premier AS
quith on the streets of Dublin but
wounded John Redmond, and Gladys
Evans, who threw blazing chair
from a box of the Royal theater in
the same city, were each given five
years at hard labor. The courts are
determined to put down the ter
rorism which prevails even if they
have to place every suffragette be-
hind the bars, and they are fully
justified in resorting to such

If Alvah Eastman Of St. Cloud

nomination for congress in the Sixth
district, Charles T. Kelley of the
Menahga Journal announces that he
will contest the nomination with @.
A. Lindbergh. Mr.. Eastman is bet

that reason would make a stronger
candidate, and if the opposition to
Mr.. Lindbergh should unite on Mr..

chance of being nominated. Mr..

enter the race he has the best wishes

Corsets in South Sea Islands.

James Francis Dwyer tells of a
Samoan chief who received a box of
colthes from the agent of a Boston
missionary association. ''In the
bundle,' said Mr.. Dwyer, twas "a
pair of corsets--the Lord only knows
why corsets were sent to Samoa-but
the chief knew that his special tin
god was watching over his interests.
He decreed that any of his own
wives or the wives of his followers
who misbehayed themselves should
be laced up in the corsets for a GER
tain period, and the moral effect
upon the village was wonderful.
The. spectacle of a buxom, wife
sQuealing loudly as the corsets., were
drawn around her had such a good
effect upon sco1ds and lazy house
wives that headmen from other vii
lagos sent special ENJOYS asking for
the loan of the wonderful apparatus

Some of the newspapers that are
supporting Judge Oscar Hallam for
the supreme bench as against Judge
Bum, the present incumbent, ad-
vance as a reason that the latter
concurred in a. decision that was
against the dairy interests OF the
state. There was majority and a
minority opinion rendered in the case
in question. The majority opinion
was concurred in by the three ablest
judges on the supreme court bench
Chief Justice Charles M. Start and
Justices Calvin L. Brown and George
L. Bum. If Justice Bum erred
how about Chief Justice Start and
Justice Brown? The newspaper
sentiment against Justice Bum is
manufactured, and is insincere.

Last week an opinion, written by
Chief Justice Start, was handed
down by the supreme court which
upholds the constitutionality Of the
classification feature Of the new
primary law. The law provides that
where two or more candidates are to
be elected at large the candidates
must designate the class in which
they wish to file. For instance
there are three members of the legis-
lature to be elected at large in the
45th senatorial district: at. the
primary election three of the best
republicans in the district might file
in class L.. while totally unsuitable
candidates might file in class 2 and
3, yet the voter can vote for only one
Of the candidates in class l. With
all due respect to the court the de-
cision, in our Judgment, is an er-
roneous one. Nevertheless we are
not going to swear at the court and
advise voters not to support Chief
Justice Start for reelection.

President Taft has vetoedN the
wool bill, and in his message Of dis
approval he appeals to congress not
to adjourn until it has enacted a
measure to substantially reduce Gun
necessary existing duties" He. also
says: II shall stand by my pledges
to maintain a degree of protection
necessary to offset the difference in
cost of production here and abroad,
and will heartily approve of any bill
reducing duties to this level. Most
of the rates in the submitted bill
are so low IN themselves that, if
enacted into law, the inevitable: re-
suit would be irretrievable injury to
the wool growing industry, the en-
forcement of id]eness of much of our
wool combing and spinning machin-
cry and of thousands of looms, and
the consequent throwing out of en-
ployment Of thousands of workmen. :"
If these are the results which Mr..
Taft believes would follow the
enactment of the bill into law he is
perfectly justified in the course he
has pursued.

BRAHE ORD DANIEL ANDERSON.

That grand old veteran, Hon.
Daniel Anderson Of Cambridge; in
an open letter to the independent
Press, in no unequivocal words,
gives reasons for the faith that is in
him. Mr.. Anderson is now and al
ways has been consistent republi-
can and believes in the cardinal
principles of the republican party,
while at the same time he is real
progressive. But he is not politi-
cal weathercock whose opinions and
beliefs vary with every wind that
blows, no matter from what direc-
tion the breeze may come nor from
what source it originated. In con-
Guiding his sensible and interesting
article Mr.. Anderson gives utterance
to these manly sentiments: =. e.
''Before closing the writer wishes
TO-, make a statement that few
men have the courage to make at
this time, to-wit: I am a stand
patter and am not ashamed of it,
Why. should I be? The principles
that were correct four years ago are
correct now. Those that were
wrong four years ago are wrong
now, allowing some. slight differences
in application. Are those of us who
have grown grey under the system of
representative government and an
Independent judiciary, whether
democrats or republicans: to bow in
humiliation and worship the new
tangled theories of initiative, refer
endum and recall; introduced and
agitated more for the purpose of pro-
noting new deal' than for real re-
form?''

Referring to a criticism of semi
political and mail-order house agri-
cultural journals that recently ap-
peared in the Union the Minnesota
Dairyman, published at Mortified,
Mimi, makes this inquiry:
"Bnt as Mr.. Dunn has wide
knowledge of journalism and pos
sibly smattering of agriculture as
we'll, we would be interested in
knowing what his convictions. are
regarding the editorial staff of The
Dairyman.
Our convictions regarding the Min
nesota Dairyman and it's editorial
staff are that it is a well-edited
journal and the advice it gives
dairymen and farmers is sound; that
at least two of it's editors Zone of
them is unknown to us) are practical
farmers and dairymen who know
whereof they write and are, capable
of imparting correct information to
the readers Of the Dairyman, and
they do impart valuable information
in each number of their publication.
The only criticism that we have ITO
offer is that the Dairym1nan is not
issued often enough-it should be
published weekly or bi-weekly.
