The Oceanic Multitude.

Every multitude is in it's nature like
the ocean, which, though in itself in.
capable of motion, is excited by
storms and winds. So, also, in your
selves there is calm and there are
storms; but the cause and origin of
your fury are entirely attributable to
those who led you on; you have caught
your madness by contagion.-Scipio
Fricanus Major.

Remembrance of the PigtaiI.

Waist long pigtails were the fash
ionable wear in England about 1740,
and before that the bag wig had been
adorned with pigtail looped up in a
black silk bag. AS late as 1858 an
old gentleman was seen in London
with his gray hair tied behind in a
short cue, and even today enc can
find relic of the pigtail, for the three
pieces of black velvet on the dress
tunics of officers in the Royal Welsh
Fusileers are the remains of the rib
bon with which the cue was tied.

A TOUCHING Wall

The St. Cloud Times, in it's
issue for May 81, emits an edi-
torial wall nearly a column in
length because, in the demo
cratic county convention at St.
Cloud May 80, the opposition to
the Times -Nordstern ring got
the better of that combine in the
organization of the convention.
Because Jas. r. Bennett Jr. hap
pened to be the leader of the re-
volt against the machine meth
DDS of the Times, he's denounced
as traitor, man who's not a
good democrat, and lot of other
things. Paul Beaudreau a n d

lambasting. Of course, the

to Bennett. Chute, Beaudreau ct

lowers are "bucking" the Times.
Nordstern combine. Oh, no; it
charges the opposition to the
Times-Nordstern cabal with at
tempting to defeat Wilson.
To the disinterested on-looker
those convention proceedings
were as good as a comic opera.
The way "Jim" Bennett and his
hackers went after the Times
Nordstern outfit was amusing in
the extreme. The Herald holds
no brief for Messrs. Bennett,
Beaudreau, Chute ct al, but it
rejoiced to see somebody with
the nerve to go after the COM
bine's scalp and get it. For
years the Times Nordstern COM
bime has held Stearns county
democracy in the hollow of it's
hand and the man who refused
to bend tie pregnant hinges of
the knee and do it's bidding has
been pronounced anathema mar
anatha. A d the taxpayers
have suffered correspondingly.
1t will do no harm to jar the
machine little. The public
generally has little use for the
unholy combine located in the
Times building and would glad
ly see it broken in pieces. If
Jim Bennett, can do it, good for
Jim.
The Herald was represented
at the convention and admired
Jim Benefits management in
securing control. To be sure,
Beaudreau wasn't very much of
a chairman, but he did what he
was told to do and caused thrills
of WEAKNESS to course up and

Industry COMING Into Its Own,

Guayule was for years overlooked
or despised; it's rubber content was
considered of little OF no value, and
when at last acknowledged this was
said to be inferior to other rubber
because it did not come from the
tropics. Yet in spite of all guayule
has become an important source of
rubber supply, millions of dollars
hare been invested in the industry,
factories have been erected close to
the guayule fields and towns have
grown up for the operatives and field
