p Whether Secretary of A riculture
Wilson was personally interested in
the Florida Everglade promotion
scheme has never been conclusively
proven, but Washington dispatch
says that since Wilson's mix-up in the
alligator swamp scandal President
Taft has offered the secretary ship to
three different men. The position
taken by Wilson in the Wiley episode,
in which he came to the support of the
food adulterators, was sufficient cause
to demand his resignation aside from
the question whether he did or did not
seek to enrich himself by the Ever
glade incident. ~ ~ ~ 7! q z , =

If bright, active, clean cut, elo-

republican state ticket Tom Davis of
Marshall should not be overlooked.
It has been intimated to the u n 10 q
that Mr.. Davis would accept the re-
publican nomination for lieutenant
governor if it came to him without

contends that the Indian affairs COM

II have always commended that the

A strike of such magnitude as that
of the coal miners, now in progress
in Great Britain, eclipses all records.
There are over a million men out, but
that is not the worst feature of the
strike-several hundred thousand
factory hands have been thrown out
OF employment in consequence of the
cutting off of the coal supply. The
situation is alarming, and parliament
will likely be called upon to fix a
minimum wage scale for the miners if
other negotiations fail.

At the Minnesota Cooperative Dairy
association convention in st. Paul
last week Governor Eberhart was
strongly condemned. It was charged
that while the cooperative creameries
we're rigidly inspected by officials of
the dairy department, the centralizing
concerns we're in many cases not in
vestigated at all, and that Governor
Eberhart,-not Joel G. Winkjer, dairy
and food commissioner,-was re-
sponsible for the discrimination.
The. governor declares that the
charges we're fabricated for political
effect.

ROAD FUNDS 1PPORTIONED.

HOADs FUNDS 4PPORT1ONED.
The state road and bridge fund for
the year 1912 has been apportioned BY
the state highway commission, and
every county has been given
square deal. If any southern Mime
sotan labored under the impression
that his section of the state would get
the worst of it q careful scrutiny of
the annexed list will convince him
that his apprehensions were ground
less. The highway commission faith
fully carried out the instructions Of
the legislature, as set forth in Joint
resolution No l, and apportioned to
each of the counties that failed to re-
ceive their share of the so-called
"pork barrel" appropriation what
they we're rightly entitled to. For
instance, Blue Earth county is given
81, 800, 5000 of that amount is on &C.
count of the 1907 appropriation; Mile
Laos gets Sc, 1000, 81, 1900 is on account
of the 1907 appropriation. We con-
graduate and thank the highway COM
mission for making such an equitable
distribution of the fund. Annexed

amount annnrtioned to each:

Father BrOgan Laid ut Rest.

The funeral of Rev. Father Brogan,
the venerable parish priest of St.
Patrick's, Benton county, who died
last Thursday from the effects of a
cold contracted while making a sick
call, was held on Saturday morning.
The services, conducted by Rev.
Bishop Trobec and Rev. Father
Kitowski, we're attended by hundreds
of the devoted parishioners of the
good man as we'll as by number of
the clergy, Rev. Father Levings of
Princeton being among the latter.
Interment was made in the Catholic
cemetery at st. Patrick's.
Father Brogan was born on June
"a, 1910, at Mullagh Kells, County
Cavan, Ireland, and received his
theological training at the Catholic
university of Fordham, N. Y. He
was ordained in 1867 and had been in
charge of st. Patrick's church since
1896. The St. Cloud Times says of
him:
"Father Brogan was not only a
good man but he was known as a
most charitable one. Those who
knew him best never heard a harsh
word of criticism or reproach of a fell
low being pass his lips. His loving
kindness for humanity was proverbi-
al, and he was greatly beloved by all
his parishioners and respected by all
who knew him.

By Wilbur D. Nesbit

1t is not written in books Of fate
that the Fourth of July is any day to
propose to girl.
Christmas day, Thanksgiving day.
New Years day, or any other day will
do, but the Fourth is not romantic:
1t is patriotic. On that day a man is
supposed to love his native land. He
Is to listen to speeches, or make them,
about the indiyisibility of our country.
He is to watch the fireworks-where
they are permitted-and not do any
sparkling on his own account.
Every day is Fourth of July to some
men. They have made up their minds
that they hope to marry a certain girl,
but when it comes to stating their de-
cision the tongue cleayes to the roof
of the mouth and the right arm seems
to have lost its cunning.
Jim Hicks was such man. When
love making was concerned, all days
we're the Fourth for him. Otherwise
his name would have been Armand
Decourcey. AS it was, he was just
what you would expect of a man OF
that name.
Jim had been keeping company"
of and on with Luella Miller for a
matter OF three years. This guaran-
teed him a certain standing as her
beau" but what woman wants to go
On forever that way?
On LuelIa's mind was the one in
portant thought which rests upon the
mind of every woman when she has
found the right man. That was to
make Jim propose. The romantic no
ton that a woman in love is a coy,
blushing thing, timorous, trembling.
afraid of the great masculine creature,
may be justified in some cases. But
with the Luellas and Jims Of this
world it does not obtain. Luella had
exhibited to Jim her deftness as a
cook; she had acquainted him with
her cIeverness as a needleworker, she
had demonstrated over and over that
she would make an ideal wife.
But Jim hadn't proposed.
Consequently, on the Fourth, when
Luella saw Henry Nelson, the bad boy
of the village, with a huge cannon
cracker he had kept secreted since
last year, and which he proposed to
explode somewhere during the day or
evening, she made war plans.
Henry" she said. don't you know
it's against the law to have such a
firecracker?"
'Aw." Henry muttered. 81 don't
know"
''Well, it is. And if the marshal
finds it out he will put you in the
lookup as an example"
"Aw! Somebody's always maxim a
example o. me. l s'pose you're goin'
to go an blab on me now"
Il won't, if you'll do something for
me-and it win be a whole lot of
run for you. Henry"
