And IT'S Reasonable

A fellow that has one says that
telephone girls make the best wives.
They get in habit of hearing kicks
and growls and are compelled to
keep their mouths shut and look
pleasant, letting the other fellow do
all the talking, and they are so diff
erent from the rest of the sex that
we'd advise any one in the market
to make break for the telephone
office forthwith. Looks reasonable.

Official Paper of Redwood County

If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the effort all in vain:
And the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain,
Would the grim, external roughness
Seem, wonder, just the same:
Should we help. where COW we hinder:
Should we pity where we blame:
All, we Judge each other harshly,
Knowing not LIES hidden force;
Knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbid at its source.
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good;
Oh, we'd love each other better
If we only understood.

DR.. A. B. COLE

Two years ago DR.. A. B. Cole of
Fergus Falls was a candidate for
the second place on the Republican
ticket.
S. Y. Gordon defeated him.
DR.. Cole is again being urged to
make the race for lieutenant gov
ernor.
He may decide to do so.
The doctor is clean, influential,
extremely popular at home where
ne has lived for 25 years and for a
long time he has been a powerful
factor in Minnesota politics.
The northern part of the state is
demanding and deserving recogni-
ton and upon no one could the
honor more properly fall than upon
DR.. Cole.
At present he has clear field
and his early announcement would
crystalize the situation and make
his nomination practically certain.

Frank G Hubbard, receiving the
following article in the course OF
business offers 1t for publicatlonsas
sound doctrine:
Once upon time the Lion, the
Tiger and the Hippopotamas, the
Jackass and the Elephant assembled
themselves together for the purpose
of selecting date when they would
call meeting of all the Fishes OF
the Sea, the Birds of the Air and
the Beasts of the Woods, so that
they might select ruler of all OF
these who would serve them for a
term of four years. At this meet
ing it was decided not only to elect
a New Ruler every four years, but
the Jackass was also appointed q
committee of one to notify all the
Fishes, Beasts, Birds and Reptiles,
that in the years when the rulers
were selected, they would not be eX-
pected to hustle quite so hard for
their daily food; in fact, that in
thsse years they were to voluntarily
go on Half-Rations and spend the
time usually devoted to caring for
themselves and families in bemoan.
ing the fact that they were what
they were, and also predicting dire,
full things that would happen just as
soon as the new ruler was elected.
All of the animals, big and little,
attentively listened to and were
guided by the bray of the Jackass
except the Bees. The Bees called a
meeting, buzzed the thing over and
then through their Queen they is
sued the following Proclamation:
eve, the Bees of the universe,
have attentively listened to and also
carefully considered you and your
braying. Mr.. Jackass, and we wish
to say that there will be nothing do
ing in Laying Off" or Half Ra-
ton" line. We are satisfied that
there will be just as much Honey in
the buckwheat in the years when
the rulers are elected as in any other
old years and we propose to get it.
If you and the rest of the bunch
want to grow lean and waste one
year in every four, why go to it.
you certainly have our permission.
Growl and bray your heads off if
you choose, but as for US we will
keep right on gathering honey at
the old stand"
Moral: The best way in the world
to make every presidential cam.
paign year lean year is to spend
every preceding three years worry
ing and talking about it, and then
when that particular year rolls
around, throw up our hands and
excIaim, ''What's the use of trying;
there simply isn't any business to
be done in campaign years and there
is no use in going after it,"
We believe the average business
man of this country 60 be a sane
Optimist. We believe whoever may
be the next nominal ruler of this
country and no matter how great
or how good he may be, that the
People will still continue to be big
ger than any one man and that just
s. long as the business men of the
country Think prosperity and also
diligently work to that end, that il
will make no appreciate difference

If the democratic national conven-

demand for Roosevelt and a third
party may be one that he would not
and could not refuse.
Party lines sit very lightly in the
