two per cent interest on $3.50, 900 which

The above from Bob Dunn's paper
is a disappointment. Taft, Roose-
welt or Hughes can be elected over
any democrat that can get the nomi-
nation. No one knows that better
than Bob Dunn Heron Lake News.
The man for whom. the News has
such intense admiration, Moses E.
Clapp, does not know any better
either, for be has been repeatedly
quoted as saying that Taft cannot be
elected. We do not know for a GER
tainty that even Hughes could be
elected, but we believe he would prove
a stronger candidate than either Taft
or Roosevelt. The aim of the latter
seems to be to rule or ruin the repub.
lican party. But if it is to be one of
the two, deliver US from the ranting
demagogue and PENTHOUSE politician
Theodore Roosevelt.

Had Cummins secured the assis-
lance of that great diplomat, the Hon.
S. Roosevelt Van SAINT, in all proba-
bility he would have carried his own
state in the presidential preference
primaries. It is declared that Cum
''insincerity" is responsible for
his defeat. Van SAINT would have so
artfully juggled this ''insincerity" in
his eloquent orations from the plat
form that his listeners would have
been cajoled into believing that Cum
Minis is in the saint category. 1t is
unfortunate, indeed, for Cummins that
he did not call into .requisition the

The Stream That Is Never Crossed

AS we tread the path of life;
There's many grief and lasting woe,
And the way is toll and strife, -. Z
But the hardest load we have to bear
Is the labor and strength that's lost :.
In building the bridge with toilsome care

We have fretting and worry from morn till
night, o.. -%'
And anguish weighs on the heart;
The thorny way seems hard to right,
And life is bitter part; = -
But there is burden greater yet. 4 I. se4sn:}E
Much peace of the soul it has cost. ....>.,.
It is building bridge with toll and sweat
Ger the stream that is never crossed.
There's looking for crossings all the day
And searching along the shore
For bridge or ford along the way
We shall never travel DER.
There's signing for useless toys in vain,
And dreaming of chances lost;
But it's hardest to bridge with might and main
The stream that is never crossed.
Then gather the roses along the way;
And treasure the fragrance rare;
Rejoice in the bright and joyous day,
Refusing to borrow care.
For sorrow and pain will surely come,
And your soul be tried and tossed;
But don't be bridging to reach your home
Ger the stream that is never crossed.

Senator Nelson of Wisconsin has
asked congress to Investigate Solicit
tor McCabe of the department. of agri-
culture and Chief Melvin of the

The refusal of the firemen on the
liner Olympic to put to sea in her be-
cause her boats we're unsafe should be
productive of much good. We're the
crews of all vessels to do likewise the
steamship companies would be COM
PEELED to provide for the safety of all
on board before the liners could leave
port. From the story told by some OF
the Olympic's fremen of the rotten

would seem that the White Star CON-
pany refused to be taught lesson by
the Titanic disaster.

Canada seems determined, by hook

across the border. Here is the latest
inducement, according to a Winnipeg
dispatch: 1.-The Pacific Canadian
railway has adopted a policy to make
loans up to $4,000 each to American
farmers living on rented farms in
order to enable them to settle, in
western Canada" While Canada has
always been liberal with her INDUCE
ments to attract immigrants to her
wind-swept plains, in this particular
instance there apparently is a niger
in the fence. The offer seems al
together too generous for legiti.
mate business transaction.

Senator Smith is not a nautical man
and consequently cannot be expected
to be familiar with the constructive
details of ocean liners. Hence he
should not be held up to ridicule
merely because he supposed that

danger. The senator is an excellent

tract from the witnesses.

Justice Hughes. If any republican

existing between the partisans of ex-

The holding Of each state and district

flames. With either Taft or Roosevelt
as the republican nominee for presi-
dent sweeping democratic victory in

The Good Roads Question

One of the big questions of the near
future, close observations predict.
will be the good roads movement, and
every, editor should be studying it and
educating his readers on the subject.
There is a good deal of truth in the
statement of some writer in the
Worlds Work that "a good road is
the best thing to build and the dreari-
est thing to write about in the whole
world. When you have said that the
difference between a good road and a
bad one is the difference between an
efficient civilization and the Jungle,
you've told the whole story. ," But it
is a subject of much Importance,
destined to receive much attention in
the state legislature and in congress.
Some editors, who make a study of
the subject, will write interesting
articles, for the question has many
sides and affects many interests.
Farmers and town people are alike
benefited in commercial way. Good
roads are in the interest of economy.
and the. most effective advertising any
county, or section, or state can invest
in.
1t is not only the coming question
but it is one of the most important
questions and will mean much for the
social and intellectual, as we'll as the
material welfare of the nation. It is
question in which every county,
town and school district is interested,
or should be, and for that reason
every editor should be studying it.
1t may not be a prominent question in
your section yet, but it will be soon
or the signs of the times are deceptive.

A couple of bakeries we're each fined

A couple of bakeries we're each fined
two dollars in Minneapolis recently
for selling short-weight bread. Two
dollars! And those concerns had
probably stolen hundred times that
amount from consumers before de-
tected. What care they for fines so
insignificant? Nothing. Had the
penalty been $50 apiece it would have
taught them lesson, but the fines i'm
posed were so ridiculously small that
they could we'll afford to run the risk
of continuing their dishonest methods.
To put stop to such practices a
penalty commensurate with the
character of the offense is necessary.
