Leo viii Not Support Eberi,art.

The Willmar Tribune wrote Mr..
Lee expressing regret that he should
be. quoted as being reconciled to the
reelection Of Gov. Eberhart. In re-
ply Mr.. Lee sends us the following
copy Of a letter he has addressed to-
Gov. Eberhart:
Long Prairie, Mimi, Sept. %, 1912
Hon. A. o. Eberhart,
State Capitol,
st. Paul, MINI.
Dear Sir:
In reply to your letter Of Sept. 23,l
1912, will say it must not be inferred
from the newspaper statement toI
which you refer that I have decided
to support you for reelection. In|
the primaries, I criticized your ad-
ministration Of the Office Of COVER
nor, also the character and calling of
the men who were supporting you!
These objections have not been re-
moved, IN fact, the developments of
the campaign indicate that they have
been augmented, and while I felt ]
could not take part in bringing out
another candidate for the reasons
given in the statement to which you
refer, it does not necessarily follow
that favor your reelection.
The demand for more business
like administration and a completed
elimination Of the machine in politics.
is keen and widespread; it was de-
feated in the late primaries because
Of lack Of organization and unity
of action, but it is nevertheless POI
tent and will persist until the people,
of Minnesota really control its poll
tics and direct it's business affairs.
Yours very truly,
VIM. E. LEE.

Expressions From Woodrow Wilson's
Twin City Speeches.

"The men who are sweating blood
to get foothold know conditions
better than the men on the top.
"The chief strength of public
man consists in the number of people
that agree with him.
II cannot draw an Indictment
against my fellowmen simply because
I disagree with them.
"The thing to do to get rid Of boss
es is to turn the back rooms inside
out.
''The republican leaders are mis-
leading their party.
"They argue that only men who
have business interests understand
what the country wants.
my answer is that the men of
large business interests know most
about their own interests.
''The men swimming against the
stream know how hard it is.
"Many people in business do not
feel at liberty to speak their opin-
ions in public, but that day is pass
ing.
"Truth is not an invalid that we
must treat her so carefully.
ut is time that sound ideas should
be given currency.
'In this day it is a case Of put up
or shut up, Of saving something and
making good.
II am not noted beauty, but
don't mind my face because I am be-
hind it; it is the people in front that
I jar.
"The cure for bad politics is the
same as the cure for tuberculosis, it
consists in living in the open"

your appointment to come. But with
what pride you sit in the hotel
smoking room and discourse to
chance acquaintances about those 20
miles an hour of speed. You get all
the elation of the automobile scoreh-
er without any danger of being run
into court and made to give up s25
by some fussy justice.
The great majority of enginemen
are splendid fellows, noble examples
of courage and responsibility. But
there is always a drifting element in
the business of a rough rider type,
who handle a train about as they
would a wild broncho.
Railroad operation is only as safe
as its weakest link. If the most in
significant little crossroads branch
line freight train is operated by a
daredevil, it may end in a heap of
wreckage that will ditch the fast ex-
press, even though the latter may be
in the hands of a trained engineer as
responsible as an ocean steamship
captain.

CUTTING DOWN SPEED.

The abandonment for the time be-
ing at least of the 1S-hour speed be-
tween New York and Chicago on the
New Work Central and Pennsylvania
roads may be significant of some re-
action against speed.
Theoretically, these trains have
been run to save business men a cou-
pie of hours time. One suspects,
however, that the sporting desire for
speed has sold more tickets on them
than the economy of working time.
Fast train running appeals to the
same instinct that pleases the small
boy in the snow country, who expert
ences indescribable thrills of delight
as he coasts down some precipitous
hill, while his parents at home mo-
mentarily expect to see him return
by ambulance.
The trains on the two first-class
roads referred to may be substan-
TALLY as safe as any others. The
worst of such railroading is that it
tempts second-rate roads i'll equipped
for speed to attempt similar rec
ords.
When you reach your destination
on fast train you may have to wait
around for hours for the time of

POOL, BILLIARDS AND BOWLING.

The moral evolution which these
three games have passed affords an
instructive spectacle to the social
philosopher.
There was time, except in some
of the large cities, when a young
man who was seen punching shiny
little balls over a green cloth was
regarded with grave suspicion by the
moral forces of the community.
Occasionally there might have
been some slight ground for this
feeling. In country towns and even
in many good sized cities these three
games were closely associated with
the flowing bowl and other vices.
OF course these little diversions were
as free from guile or stain as the
deacon's contribution box. Yet it
actually happened from their asso-
Citations, that the fellows who were
using them were often unable to get
around to work the first of the week
until Tuesday or Wednesday.
In spite of the liberal feeling of
our present days, there may be some
conservative circles where these pas
times are still regarded with sus-

NeighbOring.

The next time you get hemmed
in, actually sewed up in a crowd so
that it seems impossible either to
go forward or get back, you can
work trick that, if you do it heart
lily, will open path along which
you may pass between smiling faces.
The only thing it is absolutely neces-
sary for you to observe in using the
formula is that unless you are sin
cere and hearty about it, it won't
work
Just say: "Neighbor, will you
help me get through" And add, if
you wish and it's the truth, MY
work requires it,
1t never fails, that word "neigh-
Dor" that We have so nearly lost
from our daily use. 1t seems to call
out an echo of the spirit of the help
ing hand it stood for in the long
ago, when neighboring was neces-
sary.
Get together" and boost and
'everybody's doing it now" are slang.
of course, but slang reflects what
people are thinking about, after all.
Nothing else is more expressive.
This neighboring revival happened to
come up for discussion when several
girls who have little leisure con-
vened to "confabulate, as they call
it, during the lunch hour. Some
body wanted to know what we"
who must be bread winners, could
do, just each one her mite, toward
the general welfare. One said:
1T would help a lot to get to-
gether the things and people meant
for each other. Here I've been wor-
ried to death over some unmothered
babies, and only just found out about
day nursery with all sorts of play
things nurses and good food, where
the mother can leave them while she
is at work. Will l get them togeth-
er? Well, will l?
THE lady who gave and equipped
and maintains this day nursery didn't
realize it needed to be advertised.
Lots of things happen like that and
many good intentions go astray for
lack. of boosting, but if everyone of
us boost every chance we get, it
ought anyhow to make a dent, dodn't

They all did think so, and then it
was that Marion, who always has
some queer quirk of an idea and a
quaint way of her own in expressing
it, said:

ing. Let's guess everyone we NEE,

DON'T MISTAKE LADYBIRDS FOR
BEDBUGS.

A writer in the current issue of
Farm and Fireside says it is the
plain duty of all of us to get to know
insects by sight, so that we may
know our friends when we see them.
Following is an extract:
1T is a sign of an up-to-date farm
er to know his friends by sight And
because some insects are nuisances,
people have come to believe that all
insects are likewise. This is a great
mistake. There are thousands of
insects whose life activities are Civ
en- over to helping mankind, and
very little credit do they get for it
from the ignorant. Among these
These have done such a good work
that finally they are being generally
recognized as friends. The case of
the ladybird called the Vedalia was
so widely known that it has done
much to bring about a popular un-
derstanding of the work of these in
sects. In 1888 it seemed as if the
orange-growing industry in Califor-
mia was to be destroyed through the
attacks of the fluted scale insect,
which had been introduced from
Australia on nursery stock. The
government sent an entomologist to
Australia to discover what enemies
this scale insect had in that country
| that kept it in check. AS a result
of his studies, the entomologist
brought back some little red and
black ladybird beetles. These were
cared for and colonized on the trees,
and after two or three years became
thoroughly established and finally
practically put an end to the fluted
scale, thus saving California millions
of dollars annually.
Since the beetles must spend the
winter in safety, they seek warm
hooks and corners, and often come
into our houses, and here they meet
with hard treatment from foolish
women folk, who mistake them some
! times for an unwelcome bedfellow.
But the ladybird is very different in
appearance from the bedbug, for it
| is rounded and shining, while the
| bedbug is flat and has no wings at
all. The ladybird is sometimes TAX
en- for a carpet beetle, but this little
rascal is smaller and is not shining.
1t has black, dull wing covers spot
ted with white and with two scarlet
dots, while the ladybirds are never
scarlet"

picion. While no one would assert
that they are intrinsically harmful,
yet certain timid moralists would
argue that the boy who learns to play
pool in the Y. NJ. C. A. may wind up
by playing it in the saloon.
The argument is reminder of the
way some conscientious people of
years ago used to feel about walk
ing Sunday. The tradition has been
handed down to the writer that in
a certain town many years ago, it
was proposed that the cemetery be
opened on Sunday.
1t was argued by the liberals of
those days that the young people
could not possibly meet with any
harm in the solemn precincts of the
burial ground. and might even get
some good from reading the Scrip
ture texts on the gravestones.
To which the ''unco' guide" in stern
protest replied, that if the young
people were allowed TO walk in the
cemetery. soon they would be walk
ing in the fields and the woods. So
the cemetery remained closed to this
profane pastime-for a few years.
How absolutely this feeling has
changed today, Now the majority
of Young Mems Christian Associa-
tions have all or part of the games
named above. Many churches find
that their members may be quite as
well off at the weekly social if they
are punching balls into the pool
pocket, as if they sat around the
sides of the room hesitating which
should speak first.
