The Corrupt Use of Clippings.

The more we see the use which is
being made Of newspaper comments
by candidates for Office, the more We
are convinced that a distinct para
graph Of the corrupt practices act
should be devoted to this subject.
The para graphs in the present law
relating to newspapers were not
framed by newspaper men but were
framed by legislators with a certain
feeling akin to spite against the
newspapers.
There are so many members Of the
legislature whose misdeeds have been
exposed by the good newspapers who
hoped thereby to render a public
service, and a certain number Of good
legislators who have been mishan-
died by the black sheep Of the edi-
torial fraternity, that the members Of
the Legislature seem as whole to
take delight in swatting the newspa-
pers whenever they can do so with
out danger Of being held responsible
at home. The result has been num-
Der Of regulations which are harm
less, but on the whole unnecessary
and even puerie. An editor may not
publish an endorsement Of a candi-
date, for which he receives money
except a, paid advertising" because
it is desired to keep the stream of
editorial comment absolutely untaint-
ed (as it should beg, but the candi-
date is permitted freely to take that
editorial comment and mutllate it
until the original meaning is lost, and
then send it broadcast as the unde-
filed opinion Of an editor of recog-
nized standing.
The mutilations before referred to
often change the whole meaning of
an editorial. Sometimes only parts
of a paragraph or even qualifying
clause is taken. We have seen over
Jealous campaign committees Of op-
posing candidates each take the
same editorial and mutilate it into
an endorsement Of their own candi-
date. In fact, quite a treatise
could be written on the gentle
art Of how to mutilate a printed
statement in order to get an endorse.
MEET for ones own candidate out Of
it,,
Now if an editorial endorsement i:
worth anything, then it should not b.
stolen and it should not be used cor
ruptly. The law makers wisely legis
late against the corrupt use of mon
ey in elections, but editorial endorse
ments corruptly used will infuenc

A HUMAN ANIMAL
Sad Case of One Who Would Have
Nothing to do With Civilization.

Living near Dundee, in the town Of
Southbrook, in this county are
queer couple, an old man and his son.
The father is aged about IS years
and they live on a forty-acre tract,
where they have lived for forty
year. It is said that a foot Of a
horse has never trodden on the place,
and the occupants have subsisted on
grain seeded and harvested by hand
and threshed in the same manner.
They live in a sort Of dug-out and
have always opposed the march of
human Improvement. But Of late a
change has come to them. The faith
er has become feeble from a denial
Of the necessities Of life, and the son
40 years of age, who is deaf and
dumb and has been from childhood,
was taken to the neighbors and last
Tuesday was taken to Window,
where he was taken into probate
court and it was decided to do some
thing for his relief. He was COM
mitted to the detention ward Of the
insane hospital at St. Peter, where
he will be taken care Of at the ex-
pense Of the state. His condition
was deplorable, hard to realize in a
civilized country. Being a mute, he
has, Of course, never had any in
struction, such as is accorded other
humans, and as seen by the officers
and others around the court house
was more like wild man than any,
thing else. He had never known the
touch Of a razor; his hair was un-
kempt-in short, wild man he was
virtually. He was void of all SEM
blance of clothing and it was neces-
sary to provide him with overalls and
jumper before he could be taken on
the train. With all this he was pos
sessed of very bright mind. On his
head he wore a braided straw hat of
his own manufacture, and is said to
have made a cart with which he was

place about the farm and had manu-
featured several other articles Of ma
chinery. Samples Of the straw from
his hat were left at the court house

A Fatal PLAY Ride.

The eleven year old son of ]. I.
Jordol, living in Ash Lake township,
four miles west Of Arco, was killed
in a most peculiar manner yesterday
afternoon.
Three brothers were out in the
pasture field and were in the habit of
riding the yearling steers, which were
in the pasture and had done so on
several occasions.
The elder of the three was in the
lead followed by the one who was
killed, with the younger one at the
rear.
The boys are unable to tell just
how the accident happened, but the
boy in the lead hearing a commotion
looked back and saw his brother lay
ing on the ground dead. Whether
the steer struck the boys head after
he fell off, or whether the boy struck
some pointed object on the ground is
not known. However there was a
small depression on the skull.-The
Tyler Journal.

elections more than money corruptly
used. An editor has a right to insist
that his editorial expressions shall be
used only to convey the meaning he
intended, and to assist the cause
which he wishes to assist.
The corrupt practices act should
forbid the reprinting in any campaign
circular Of any editorial comment of
a newspaper unless the express per-
mission Of the writer was first OBJ
tanned. In that way an editor could
prevent the republication Of his COM
ments in mutilated form.-Morris
