Interested parties may try hard to
discredit the Roosevelt boom for
president, but it will not down, and
whether he eyer says he is a candi-
date or not, if some delegate places
his name before the Chicago con-
vention nothing can prevent his
nomination. Taft the country does
not want under any consideration,
while LA Toilette stands but small

1t seems that the Roosevelt fol-
lowers are increasing every day.
Well Roosevelt and La Follettewould
look good to US. Why we prefer La
Toilette second on the ticket is be-
cause he would have full power, as
president of the senate, to knock
few brains into the Payne-Aldrich
gang and force them to openly de-
clare themselves on bills that would
benefit the people instead of for
ever keeping them in the Committee

The progressive strength in the
Republican party in the national pol

candidate and center around Roose-

Desirable people are every day
passing through Minnesota and seek

Have those places anything better to
offer than Redwood county has?
Certainly not, but Redwood county
is not out after these people, is max
ing no effort, as a county to bring
settlers here.
You may say there is no room.
There is always room. Recently we
were told of county in Ohio, older
than Redwood, more densely settled.

county seat went to work advertising
their county. They brought people
from Illinois back to Ohio and in

HAPPY DEMOCRACY

Minnesota Democrats are happy.
They have reason to be.
In Woodrow Wilson they have a
compelling figure, man in whom
the people put their trust.
This New Jersey governor may
head the Democratic national ticket.
Meanwhile Minnesota Republicans
are actively engaged cutting each
others threats.
The North Star state is Republican
by 100000.
Still even 10000 can kill them
selves off if you give them time
enough.
Three factions are now busy with
in the Republican ranks.
The Taft men, the Roosevelt men
and the La Toilette men.
The grain of common sense seems
to have been everlastingly lost.
And the Democrats are happy.
Republicans, is there not just
cause for this unholy mirth in the
camp of your enemies?
Are you prepared to turn the reins
of government over to your ancient
RIVALS?
If not, upon whom can you unite?
Certainly the strongest man for
the strongest will be needed if the
Democrats are wise enough to nomi-
nate Wilson.
Pick your strongest and save Min
nesota to the party whose creed you
accept and whose doctrines you ad.

Mr.. F. J. Hassenstab would make a

PUT HER ON THE MAP

Redwood Falls needs booster.
There are good many well deyel-
oped boosters here who work toge-
Their in fine shape, but that doesn't
fill the bill.
A Booster is needed.
A paid booster, real, live speci-
men of the genus, "put-the- place-on-
the map"
There are a thousand things to
say about Redwood Falls and Red
wood county, thousand things in
which other sections of the state
would be interested and would be-
lieye if they were told in the right
way.
You'll go some before you find a
city more favorably situated.
First there is the natural water
power. With the high dam. practi-
cally unlimited horse power can be
developed at a minimum cost.
Then there are the freight rates.
No place in the state enjoys better
rates than Redwood. The facilities
might be improved but the rates are
of the best. This is an item of real
importance to the man who is look
ing for a new business location.
Back of Redwood Falls lies the
finest farming country in the state.
Rich, black loan which for forty
years has yielded abundant crops
and is capable of going on indefiin-
itely, under proper treatment in pro-
ducing Incompatible harvests.
Twenty thousand prosperous peo-
pie are living in the territory ada
cent to Redwood Falls.
With the most beautiful park in
the state containing scenery sur
passed by none, with the lake and
the rivers and the splendid automo-
bile roads there is every inducement
to make this place a permanent
home, either for business or plea
sure.
We of Redwood know all of these
things,
But the residents of the rest of the
state and adjoining states are in
ignorance of them. They are the
people we want to reach.
There is but one sure way: Sys-
tematic and ceaseless publicity.
There is but one sure way of get
ting this publicity: To employ
man to devote his energy to putting
Redwood Falls on the map"
All Of this would be made part of
the great plan to boost the entire

WHO ARE THE TAFT MEN

Roosevelt can be nominated over
Taft at the national convention.
La Toilette cannot.
There are few nowssready to con-
tradict either of these statements.
As between La Toilette and Taft
most people admit Taft will run away
with the nomination.
Roosevelt is the one hope of the
progressives.
He who opposes Roosevelt now is
opposing progress, is standing :. for
William Howard Taft.
La Toilette has not quit the race
but the hopelessness of his cause has
driven from him many Of the leading
progresslves in the country. Men
who stood close to him have admit
ted that La Toilette cannot win and
they are working for the man whom
they believe can defeat Taft.
To Redwood county the real ques-
ton is: How can we defeat the man
who tried to foist reciprocity upon
US?
The answer is apparent: Roose-
welt.
In Missouri Roosevelt under the
Stars poll received more votes than
Clark and Folk combined, yet they
both live in Missouri, which is a
Democratic state.
Does that indicate anything with
reference to Roosevelt's popularity?
Roosevelt has been tried. The peo-
| pie know him and trust him.

ODD FELLOWS
ANNIVERSARY

Yesterday was the Ord anniversary
of the American Order of Odd Fellows,
the legal title of which is now The
Independent Order of Odd Fellows"
There was no observance of the event
in the IdItarod. where the only organi
cation of members of the order is the
l. O. O. f. Club of Flat City. Last
year the club celebrated the anniver-
sary with a grand ball.
While the American Order was
founded in 1919, it was afterward aftil-
lated with the Manchester Unity, and
it was not till September %, 1912, that
the Odd Fellows of the United States
resumed their original independence.
reatfirming the resolution in lS43 and
adopting a distinctively American rit-
ual in 1915
The first lodge established on this
continent YVES Shakspere No. /, New
York city, December rs, 1906. The
live Odd Fellows composing this lodge
were of the Loyal Independent Order,
and the moving spirits were Solomon
Chambers and his son John c., English
mechanics from the south of London.
The early members were Jealous work
ers and other lodges were soon organ
lzed. In 1909 the roll of mem bershIp,
in the six New York city lodges, com
prised 36 prominent citizens and bust
ness men. as we'll as many others Of
less influence.
Meantime attempts were being made
to plant Odd Fellowship in other parts
Of North America. In 1915 there were
Two lodges in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
In Boston, during 1918, James B.

land the previous year-and four others
Instituted Massachusetts Lodge No l,
and held regular meetings, the method
being, as in New York, ancient usage
and self institution. Two Englishmen.
Il Jew, an Irishman and a Frenchman
comprised its charter membership.
The origin of Odd Fellowship and
the source Of its peculiar name cannot
now be historically traced. Until nearly
the close of the nineteenth century it
had been asserted for years that Defoe,
the English novelist, mentioned "Odd
Fellows" as early as l745, but modern
research has relegated this, as we'll as
many other alleged Incidents of the
orders early days, to the realm of ira
dition. 1t is known. however, that
society grew up in Eng land during the
ei2 hteenth century, almost rivaling in
numbers and influence the Masonic
Fraternity, and that this "Antient and
Most Noble Older of Bucks began TO
decline about the wear l773 and passed
out of existence. A reasonable suppo-
siton sttains among antiquaries that
these lodges furnished the nucleus of
the Odd Fellows.

THE MERRY MEN.

The highwayman of olden days
was won't to haunt the lonely ways
upon his prancing steed, and when
a traveller came by the robber said:
''Shell out or die, and show your
highest speed" And having swiped
the pilgrims roll, he galloped off,
gay, iaunty soul, some damsel fair
to see; little while he went his
way, and then upon some dismal day
he graced gallOwS tree. The rob-
Der of these modern times doesn't
ride the highway for his dimes. or
flourish blunder0u3s: he has a hand
some gilded lair and by his wiles
entices there some unsuspecting
cuss. And then he sells the victim
shares in wireless fakes and other
snares, in moonlight and in blue
sky. For him no gallows creaks
and groans; he robs his victims of
their bones and winks the Other
eye. [ like the old-Lime robber
test: he had a bold heart in his
breast, his life was ia his hand; and
even on the scaffold he was finer
than the crooks we sec in this
knave-ridden land.-Walt Mason.

Some Famous Men Lost
When Titanic Went Down

in Pennsylvania in 1881. The son was
born in 1887. In the latter sos he
joined his father in constructing the
suspension bridge across the Allegheny
river at Pittsburg. After the war he
was associated with bis father in build
ing the Cinclnnati-Covington bridge
and became assistant engineer in con-
structing the Brooklyn bridge. After
his fathers death in 1869 the entire
direction of the latter work was left in
his hands. The bridge was completed
in 1888. Since that time he had been
vice president Of the iron aud steel wire
rope manufacturing concern of the
John A. Roebling & Sons Co. of Tren-
ton, N. j. In the war he was brevetted
lieutenant colonel for gallant service
before Richmond and colonel of volun-
teers for meritorious service.
