If you want any mental peace keep
away from it. Here it is:

NY dawg Drum is good oil houn',

Makes no difference if he is houn',

1t has but one parallel in American
history and that is Mark Twain's
Punch, Brother, punch with care.
Forty years ago people were gong
crazy over the Mark Twain doggerel.
You might try it:
Punch, brother, punch with care,
Punch in the presence of the PASSENGER;
blue trip slip for ten cent fare,
buff trip slip for an eight cent fare,
pink trip slip for five cent fare,
Punch, brother, punch with care,
Punch in the presencesof the PASSENGER"
The Gazette is able to reproduce
thiseminent effort of the great hum
orist through the kindness and ex-
cellent memory of Major M. E..
Powell.
The power OF doggerel is due to
the underlying strata of rhythm in
every mans soul. Doggerel swings.
It's not the words, it's the sweep of
the rise and fall, that compells.
The Houn' Dawg song is simply
feeling; it is as void of intellect as a
decapitated wood tick.
And yet it may make Champ Clark
the Democratic nominee. When
you get the accent; you GOT A
QUIT kickin' MY dawg aroun'" it
shows fight and all the world loves a
fighter. Does this fool song sound
the spirit of the Missouri speaker?
If it does look out for him.

BEHIND THE POLITICAL SCENES.

Eberhart sentiment has been dis
covered in Redwood county.
The governor was the main at
traction" at various meetings in this
county last summer and seems to
have escaped with the biscuits upon
one or two occasions.
1t was reported to The Gazette last
week that Morgan township and VIII
lage will be for Eberhart. No claim
to first hand knowledge. is made IN
this case.
Also there is said to be some Eber-
hart feeling at Lamberton and Wal
nut Grove.
Here in Redwood Fails there is
little positive Eberhart sentiment.
All through this section of the county
the progressive wave has washed the
standpatter into the troubled deep
and the governor has apparently
passed on with those "who were. !"
If not for Eberhart who then?
Dad futile says Gordon and he is
about the only one in the county
that is saying much of anything at
present. Staunch progressives like
Melvin Hitchcock are openly declar-
ing that the county will be for
progressive candidate. However,
they have made no choice between
Sam \. Gordon and William e. Lee.

LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN
Rev. ]. J. Ehrstein Gives I'm.
pressive Sermon on Christ
Like Living

In his sermon last Sunday evening
Rev. J. j. Ehrstein of the Presby-
terian church said that the Christian
life is frequently misunderstood and
misrepresented.
The grossest misconception of
the Christian life," he said, lis that
it is a negative weak thing. The
church has placed so much empha-
sis on the don'ts of the ethics of
Christianity, that men have come to
think of the Christian life as re-
straint lettering the spirit.
The Christian life is aggressive
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1912-03-12

and strong. According to the teach
ings of Jesus, his disciples must ex-
cell in righteousness the Pharisee
plus the common courtesies OF the
Publican. To live the Christian
life one must be strong in the grace
which is in Christ Jesus, and be
hero amidst the humdrum affairs of
the common life. The root OF the
Christians life is found IN the
Christians creed.
The Christian believes in the
truth embodied in the new tesla
ment scriptures. He believes man
is a sinner and needs a savior. He
believes that Jesus Christ is the
heaven-sent savior, the Regeneration
of man. He believes that in the
new life which man receives from
God through Christ. the holy spirit
abides.
BELIEVING becomes being. The
Christian is both the messenger and
the message He incarnates in his
own life his creed.
What the Christian believes he
becomes. The flower of the Chris
tian's life is the Christians conduct.
If believing becomes being, then
being finds expression in doing.
Every Christian man is a living
epistle known and read by all men.
My conception of Christianity re-
yeaIs itself in my character and
walk"

Neither Lee nor Gordon is much
known in this county.
They have beer heard as men
making a racket far off. So far as
the memory of man knoweth neither
has ever visited this fertile county
or made a call on the Queen of the
West.
It's understood that eachis booked
to come.
Meanwhile the progressives are
sitting extremely tight on the COVER
norship business.
Dad Tuttle ambled into the spot
light last week by bringing out Dan
Mckay as a candidate to succeed
Duncan McCorquodale who will not
be candidate for reelection as
county commissioner. Dad is not
playing at solitaire in his admiration
of Mr.. Mckay VINO is and has been
for long time Republican and is
we'll known in the Belview and Delhi
sections of the county.
The Gazette correspondent at Bel
view seems to have his wires crossed
with Dads and has suggested that
S. F. Peterson, treasurer of Kintire
township, is being urged to make
the race for commissioner and has
some rather pleasant things to say
about him.
But who ever gets the Republican
nomination will have to fight it out
at the polls with j. P. Gaffney, ac-
cording to present rumor.
As might be deduced Mr.. Gaffney
is Democrat but in spite of that
he is said to stand well at Delhi and
Belyiew and to have a wide circle of
friends.
1t has been suggested that Mr..
Gaffney, stranger to the Gazette
editor, will make decidedly strong
candidate if he enters the lists.
Senator Odell of Willmar can't
see anything but Roosevelt in Kandi-
yohi county. He says that the dele
gates from his county will be in
structed for the Dutchman.

county feels much the same way
though he is far from sure the dele
cation from his county will be in
structed.
This raises the query: If Lac Qui
Parle goes to Roosevelt where will
T. Christianson go?
Elias Rachie, militant leader of
the county optionists, is receiving his
regular mention for congress from
this district.
Elias is a politician. He was about
the only one of the c. O's. that ap-
preciated the mistake made when
his faction tied up with Jim Gray
two years ago. He is a real county
optionist, believing in it as a matter
of principle and not inclined to let it
go by default as some seem to be.
Mr.. Rachie is well known in this
district, is Scandinavian and a pro-
gressive. However he has not yet
decided to tear the mantle of honor
from the shoulders of A. J. Volstead.

Great Strides Were Made Yesterday
 in That Direction

In one field of endeavor yesterday, beginning soon after midnight, was the the busiest day in Phoenix The
 birth record for day was probably broken. At least four future citizens
 will date their beginning from Aug
 ust A and perhaps there are others
 not enrolled.
 The first report came from the residence of Dr. w. S Lowe, where there had happened a ten pound girl 1 the first of the family not counting the doctor and Mrs. Lowe, and they do not really count just now. The report from the residence of Perry Munger announced the birth of
 a ten pound baby girl already chris tened Sarah Agnes. Perhaps the earliest in the field was the youngest and only son of A.
 R. Redondo, of 737 East Adams street,
 of the weight of ten pounds just after
 midnight
 It amounted almost to an epidemic l on East Adams for in the same block at No. 758 of that thoroughfare there
 came into being the youngest male 1 heir of MT. and Mrs. Archie Walker, who varied the monotonous proceed i ings of the day by weighing only eight pounds.
 The lady who telephoned to the
 overworked birth department of The Republican about the Walker event
 was informed that that was the fourth Yes" she replied joyously, "business is booming"

INDICATIONS OF LONG LIFE

It seems to be generally agreed that every person affords physical indl- cations of his prospects of long or short life. A long lived person, it is said, may be distinguished at sight from short-lived one. In many cases a physician can glance at the hand of patient and deter mine whether he will live or not.
 The primary conditions of longevity are that the heart, lungs and diges- tive organs, as well as the brain. shall be large. If these organs are large the trunk will be long and the limbs comparatively short. The per son will appear tall while sitting and short while standing. The hand will have a long and somewhat heavy palm, with short fingers. The brain will be deeply placed, as shown by the low position of the orifice of the ear. The blue, brown or hazel eye is favorable indication.
 The nostrils, if large, open and free, indicate large lungs A pinched and half-cIosed nostrn indicates small or weak lungs. These are general points of distinction, but are, Of course. subject to the usual indivi- dual exceptions.

PUBLIC ASKED
 ID BE PRESENT
Pacific Gas & Electric Com pany Invites All Inter ested to Attend Hearing of Complaint Against It, Before Commission

Sometime ago the Municipal League of Phoenix filed a complaint with the corporation commission against the Pacific Gas and Electric company. alleging unjust, unreasonable and eX- cessive rates. The company recently changed ownership and the new man agement has announced a policy of taking the people into its confidence in every way possible. The company itself is desirous that the public should know thoroughly both sides to all the questions of controversy that may arise between if and it's patrons and to that end it has issued post card invitations to all it's patrons urg- ing them to attend the hearing of the complaint made against them by the Municipal league.
 This invitation as it appears below. has been sent to all the newspapers with a request to publish, for the reason that some who have received the post card notice may forget it and for the further reason that there are many citizens who may be inter l ested, who are not now numbered l among the companys patrons The hearing will be held publicly i before the corporation commission next Tuesday, August 27. at the capi- i tol building and it is probable that l the senate chamber will be pressed 1 into service for that purpose as many | witnesses have been summoned and doubtless there will be many spec tators Following is the company s | invitation:

About a Revolutionist.
You know there was a revolution in
Russia in 1905 During that revolution
the warship Potempka joined the reyo-
1utionists. You remember that. Every
member of the crew of that ship was
condemned to death by the Russian gov
eminent. That is the usual way. One
man came over to this country a year
ago as a stowaway on n steamship and
landed in New York He was detected
and the Russian government demanded
him TO be eXtradited, first because he
came as stowaway, second that he
was a murderer a thief, that he had
killed people and that he had committed
arson. The case came up in the lower !
court and he had to 60 back, it came |
