Former dyedin-the-wool partisans
who were never known to draw an
independent political breath as long
as they were permitted to eat. the
crumbs that fell from their masters
table, now that the supply of crumbs
is exhausted, prate loudly of their
independence and progressiveness.
Formerly if one intimated that each
and every nominee of the republican
party national, state and local-was
not one Of the Lords anointed
these simon-pure professors of the
faith denounced him as renegade
and bolter and his name was anath-
ema. The antics of these senile
antediluvian dotards is amusing to
one who is familiar with their
former servility to the party fetch.

Democratic County Convention,
'athOned,

The Mile Laos democratic county
convention was held at the village
hall in Princeton yesterday afternoon
and an organization was effected with
G. A. Eaton chairman and Grover
Umbehocker secretary. The follow
ing delegates were elected to attend
the state convention at Duluth on
June 6: J. J. Skahen, Grover UNI
behocker and VIM. Nicely, Princeton;
Robert Christopherson, Greenbush
and L. L. Hudson, Milaca. A reso-
luton was adopted instructing the
delegates to use their influence in
behalf of Champ Clark. Another
resolution authorized any of these
delegates in attendance at the Du-
luth convention to cast the full vote
of Mile Lacs county.
There was not large number in
attendance at the county convention,
but it was a very harmonious
meeting. ..,. .>

Thomas Lee Fractures Bone.

While crossing a plank over a pool
of water between the court house
grounds and Mrs. Rines' place, on
First street, Monday afternoon,
Thomas Lee, or. Tom Lee, as he is
familiarly known, fell and fractured
a small bone near the left shoulder.
Chas. Keith, who was passing at the
time, assisted him to his feet and he
was taken to his home at Oscar
Stark's in e. l.. McMillan's automo-
bile. DIR. Cooney was called and
found that the fracture was such
that there is small probability that
the ends of the bone will again unite
in consequence of the advanced age
of the patient. Mr.. Lee will be 81
years of age upon his next birthday.

Highly Commendable.

The action of the board of county
commissioners in unanimously ap-
propriating $500 to assist in complet-
ing the permanent improvements on
the fair grounds is highly commenda--
BILE. The law authorizes the commits
sioners to make such an appropria-
tion and the money will be properly
expended. The appropriation was
made with the understanding that
$500 additional would be raised bv
subscription or otherwise. No doubt
but that amount will be speedily
forthcoming. This will enable the
fair association to erect a large horse
barn, build an addition to the horti-
cultural hall and make other i'm
proyements; of course it will require
more than 81, 600 to do all this, but
it is expected that the gate receipts.
will help out this year. When all
the improvements contemplated are
completed Mile Lacs county fair
grounds will be second to those of
no county in the state. ILL.,.
The Union thanks the board of
county commissioners for their
broadmindedness and we can assure
them that it is far better to assist
the fair association in making per-
manent improvements than appro-
priating money for an exhibit at the
state fair as some of our sister coun-
ties have done.
This year it is expected that at
least $1,000 will be paid out in pre-
miums att he Mile Lacs county fair.

s5 In an article in the Courier Jour
nal which fairly sizzles with forceful
adjectives that prince Of language,
Henry Watterson, drives the poniard
numerically into the -vitals of Roose-
Velt. Hescalls him a frenzied para
noiac, a maniac armed to the teeth,
and a would-be dictator. The
article-too long for reprod
is indeed a scathing invective, but
it's truthfulness defes refutation.

SO numerous have automobile
thieves become in Minneapolis that
the chief of police has issued orders
directing all drivers not operating
their own cars to display chaufeurs'
licenses under penalty of arrest. To
a man up a tree it is difficult to see
how this will remedy the situation,
for it is impossible for the average
policeman to determine whether the
driver of a passing car is it's owner
or fellow who has purloined it.

Government inspection of meat at
the packing establishments appears
to have become a veritable farce.
Whether the inspectors are being
bribed by the packers to permit in
ferior and semi-decomposed meat to
be canned is not publicly known, but
1T: would seem from recent develop
ments that this is highly possible.
For instance, out of $4,000 pounds of
canned beef furnished the govern
ment a few days ago for the trans
port Prairie $4,000 pounds were re-
jected as unfit for food. Inspectors
who permit the government label to
be attached to such stuff as this
should certainly be ousted from
office.

And now Senator Root has become
perceptibly nervous over the outlook
for Taft's nomination and has con-
suited his colleagues upon the advis-
ability of placing in the field, should
Roosevelt be- nominated, a third
ticket. No conclusion has been ar
rived at, but strong opinion pre-
walls among Taft leaders that the
chances for the presidents nomina-
tion are very slender and that the
only salvation will be a compromise
candidate. A compromise candidate
it will have to be if the republicans
expect to elect president for neither
Taft nor Roosevelt can be elected if
nominated. srs@s:> -

by the manufacturers is that the

Il G. z. SMITH LOSES :ss50,Ol,O.

IhaI arrogant multi-mil lliOnaire,
9. A. Smith, is getting what is COM
ing to him. He has acquired vast
tracts Of valuable timber lands in
Oregon and California at an insig-
nlticant cost, but the United States
government is making trouble for
him. The recent decision by the
Federal Court of Appeals at San
Francisco will not help him in float
ing his gilt-edged securities, and he
will feel too poor to contribute $780,
600 to defeat the republican candi-
date for governor of Minnesota this
year. 1t is a long lane that has NO
turning. The following special to
the St. Paul Pioneer Press tells the
story and will furnish a good text
for another article in Everybodv's
Magazine:
Portland, Ore, May 24.-Word was
received from San Francisco today
that Judge Gilbert of the United
States court of appeals has confirmed
the opinion of Judge Bean of the
United States district court of this
district cancelling title to thirty
seven quarter sections of timber land
in Linn and Lane counties held by
the Linn and Lane Timber company,
which was organized in 1906 by G.
A. Smith, former regent of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, and mil
lionaire timber man, and members
of his family.
The land is valued at approximate
ly $3.50, 900 and comprises nearly 5000
acres. The claims first were filed on
in 1900 by men and women whose
expenses it was alleged were paid by
S. A. D. Puter and Horace MacKin-
ley. The patents were issued
August IL, 1902, for the thirty seven
claims. Eight other patents were
issued July 8, 1902, and these claims
were outlawed by the statute of
limitations.
When the patents were issued the
deeds were turned over to Fred A.
Kreibs, or other agents of Smith, to
be held in trust. Smith had been a
big timberman in Minneapolis before
coming to Oregon, and in addition
to the land involved in the suit, he
held $1,000 acres in Linn, Lane and
Douglas counties. The holding
company, capitalized at 500, 600, was
organized, Smith reserving all but
two shares in the company. For the
stock in the company he turned
over all of his timber holdings.
The existence of this company,
which was organized in Minnesota,
was kept a secret and the deeds to
this land were never recorded until
three months after the suit against
Smith had been filed, May rs, 1908,
and the statute of limitations had
run out. Upon the fact that the
company had not been made a party
to the original suit and was the
owner of the land legally, the de-
fense based it's argument.

on Monday to consider the No. 10
ditch matter and hear the parties

$500 was made to assist the town in
carrying out the work.
A proposition for constructing a.
new bridge across Prairie brook.
between sections % and "a, in the
town of Greenbush, was considered

Dougal bridge in the town of Milo.
was similarly disposed of.
The board designated June l as

cided to take control of the same
and advertise for bids in order that
the work may be done in accordance
with the requirements of the state
highway commission.
1t was decided to allow the county
superintendent of schools 1925 for
all necessary expenses for the year
1912, the amount already allowed
him to be deducted from such sum.

Convincing Testimony.
We believe that anyone seeking a
new homestead would do we'll to look
carefully over the land still open for
development in the United States
before crossing over to Canada.
Northern Minnesota presents MANY
excellent opportunities. The neigh
borhood of Hill City, in Aitkin
county, has among it's residents
many former Scott county folks and
there are others up near Ogilvie in
Kanabec county, still others in
Becker county and in Pine, Mile
Lacs and other northern counties.
Surely, if these old neighbors speak
we'll Of their present abode after
several years residence, it ought to
be more convincing testimony than
that of any Canadian land AGENT

Cannot Carry Them in November.
An analysis of Colonel Roosevelt's
vote in Ohio and in Massachusetts,.
the only states thus far in which he
has had a real contest, would indi-
cate that he is not sufficiently strong
with. the people in the so-called
pivotal states to carry them. His
tremendous vote in such states as
Minnesota and Illinois is not signif-
can't. Any republican can carry
Minnesota and the chances are that
any republican would be successful
in Illinois. But Colonel Roosevelt is
not so sure of states like New York,
Ohio and Massachusetts, in the final
contest, for he polled very nearly his
full strength in those states at the
primary elections. These and sever
al other large states are fighting
ground for the right kind of demo-
crat. The recent primary returns
show that Roosevelt is weak where
it is necessary for him to be strong.
He cannot be elected unless these
states give him their electoral vote.
