THE PRESS AGAINST HOLDEN.
[Coon Rapids Enterprise.1


It is safe to say that fully 80 per
cent Of the republican newspapers OF
the state are against the Holden cam
cidacy. This will no doubt strike Pro-
lessor Holden as a most surprising
thing since practically all the news
papers Of the state for years have
lauded the professors work at Ames
and HIS special seed corn train talks.
Because Of this unmeasured praise
Professor Holden might naturally con-
clude that the newspapers would be
equally as enthusiastic In their sup
port of him for governor. That they
are not must be a great disappoint-
ment to him. It is probably his hrst
great puzzling lesson in politics.
The reasons for this coldness OF the
press toward Professor Holden arc
varied. To begin with his announce
ment struck most editors az q piece OF
bomhAst-prestnpt uousness bordering
on offensive egotism. Another reason
brought out seemingly by scheming
politicians to serve selfish purposes and
to defeat George w. Clarke, whom 1t
il known has shown such Independence
and stability Of purpose as to defy GER
tain politicians in their demands on
him for political recognition. For an
other reason, the factions Of the party
becoming weary Of factlonal strife had
come to believe that, while Clarke was
!. nominally q progressive, that he Wal
irnanifestly fair with both factions. and
thru his election the party might easily
! become united: that the scheme Of Z

THE RoY AND THE SURGEONS.

THE BOY AND THE SURGEONS.
IMechanicsville Pioneer Press
A 14-year- lad named Zubrod has
been at the san atorium since last
April. He came there in serious con-
dition for an operation for appendicitis.
When placed under the knife he was
found to be in a condition that made
life a speculation. There We're per-
forations in the intestines. These were
cared for in the best possible manner,
and he fingered for some months when
a slight Improvement encouraged an
other operation. This gave the attend
ants but scant hope Of saving his life.
A third operation followed when the
liver was found to be in a greatly en-
larged condition. A drain was placed
and within recent time he has shown
signs of improvement. The boy. came
from near Hopkinton, and the family
recently moved to this vicinity, the
father purchasing the Whalen prop
erty.

CUMMINS IOWA'S BEST BET"
Mason CITY Times1


Senator Cummins, leader of the pro-
gressiye wing OF the republican party
as he is, since his sojourn in congress
has earned the reputation among all
parties, all classes of business, of be-
ing a level-headed, brainy business
man, with the capability Of grasping
and solving big business and govern
mental policies. Senator Cummins is
not the destructionist that Roosevelt
would lay claim TO being. Senator
Cummins does not believe in throwing
the country into commercial and finan-
cial panics by filling the newspapers
with scare head threats against all
business. His plan is rather to take
business in hand and by a nlasterful
use of the reins keep it safely moving
along, but on its own right OF way, not
the peoples.
With the confidence OF the west and
middle west back OF him, and the ac-
kncwledged tribute of the east to his
ability and worth as a statesman, why
should not Cummins he the best bet"
for compromise candidate?

The recent famous case in Council
Bluffs In which criminals escaped at
the hands Of the Jury was just case
Of colossal humbug. The jury admit
teddy took the ground that the suckers
who bit on the game were not en-
titled to any redress, and using that
idea In mind they acquitted defendants
clearly guilty Of criminal game.
What is the use of trying to educate
certain class Of people? A fool and
his money are soon parted. That is just
as true in 1912 as 1t was centuries ago,
from which we conclude that fools VIII
have to take their medicine in spite Of
the great bulwark Of human laws with
which a sympathizing public has en-
deavored to surround and protect the

dent of the public schools of Stearns
county, is a hustler is well known to
the public. Mr.. Boerger is on the
Qui yiye all the time to devise WAYS
and means for the betterment of the
schools under his charge. Last Sat-
urday Mr.. Boerger was i'm Sank Cen
tire holding conference for the bene-
fit of parents and teachers. During
the day the conference proceeded,
and the attendance was fair consider
ing the fact that holiday preparations
are occupying so large place in the
public eye. The conference, never
the-less, was a success and those who
attended felt that it was worth while.
A new departure in gatherings of
this nature was provided in the eve-
ring by Mr.. Boerger in the form of a
spelling contest. Mn Boerger recog-
nizes the fact that great many
people, teachers included, have 'sbad
spells.'' Mr.. Boerger also recognizes
the Importance of providing a remedy
for these spells. One remedy he Of
fers is the spelling contest.
And when spelling contest Is
mentioned, what memories the words
call up in the minds of the elders.
They recall how, in the days of the
little old red district schoolhouse, the
boys and girls stood up on opposite
sides of the room, after choosing sides,
and then spelled down." Many an
photographed toe was stubbed and
bruised on words taken from the old
spelling books. One by one the boys
and girls fell by the photographed
wayside until but one remained on a
side, and finally one of them fell to
rise no more and the remaining one
stood it for while and finally sue
cumbed, to be carried off from the
field strewn with fragments of ''bad
spells.
Well, last Saturday evening, the
old-time contest was repeated. Mr..
Boerger was master of ceremonies
and M. D. Aygarn hurled photograph
ical shot and shell at the brave
soldiers in the persons of boys and
girls who formed the army he was out
to demolish.

CHAN HARMON TALKS

lis Hills We're Wooded and the
Lakes Lay Beyond
SAW STIRRING TIMES
Former Well Known Citizen of Sank
Centre Makes a Mark for
Himself in History

The Minneapolis Journal of Deem
Der contains an article relative to
the early DAYS, and in which Chand-
Ter Harmon Of that city, familiarly
known as "Chan" Harmon by his
many friends,> is the chief figure
aChan'' Harmon used to live in Sank
Centre and every year lie makes
visit to his old home where he is ever
welcome.
1t was just sixty years ago that
Chan Harmon, then small boy
trudged through the snow with a bag
of hickory nuts on his back, making
his way to the claim of his father
Allen Harmon, where Loring Park
now invites the public. There wasn't
very much to Minneapolis at that
time. but the Harmons were there.
Harmon Place was named after them.
Sixty years after the boy carried his
sack of hickory nuts, the same boy,
gray with age, trudged over the same
route and noted the marvellous chang
es that have since taken place In
Minneapolis. Chan" Harmon talked
to the Journal man about it and the
latter wrote story that the journal
printed. is an interesting article.
Mr.. Harmon talked at length on
the old times. Among other things
he said that he hauled brick for the
Nicollet House in 1857 when Nudd &
Eustis were building that structure.
He mentions "Old Man Law" the
father of John II. Law of this city.
Mr.. Law was at that time working in
st. Paul and getting $l25 month;
while Jim Hill was receiving S75 a
month for his manly toll. Here are
few of Mr.. Harmon's remarks:
AMy experience and observation,
and the result of much reading, is
that the first settlers in new place,
the ones who really lay the founda-
ton for the great things that are to
come, rarely make themselves rich"
''The most wonderful thing to me
is to stand and get view of what
they call the Plaza, where the beauti-
full churches have gone up and to
look up to what they now call Lowry
Hill, where the fine homes are, but
which / remember as great wooded
hill beyond which lay the lakes"
81 am glad that my father, even If
he did not profit by it in material
way,>was one of the group of old pio-
neers who builded better than they
knew and made great city where
the wilderness used to be-"

lowing to the "reminiscences of the
