Interesting sdelights on men and things political

ing the battlements of entrenched de-
mocracy. Thus far, they haven't made
much headway but this does not signify
that they will not break through one of
these days. They have not overlooked
one possible opening. They have adroit
leaders on guard with the battering ram
of ridicule; the flaming torch of ridi-
cule and are constantly urged on by the
piteous cries of the thousands who,
having aquired appetites for mamma,
have no stomaches for menu of husks
which is now their sad portion.
Incidents which, at the time, appear
comparatively trivial are frequently
sufficient to turn the tide of battle in
the game of politics. For example,
when William Howard Taft was elect
ed President of the United States in
November. 1908, the republican party
was at the zenith of it's power. Six
months later it was tottering to
certain and speedy fall. What brought
about such monstrous transformation
in the fortune of that proud political
machine? 1t is an old story now but
may bear repetition and | will tell it
in the language of one who has been
here in the forefront of the battle for
the past twenty years.
''The trouble started', said this
veteran of dozen stormy campaigns,
when Taft came to Washington
week be fore he was to be inaugurated.
That is busy week for all Presidents
elect.
He was the centre of attraction, the
cynosure of all eyes, the lodestar a
round which revolved the lesser stars
of his party, the mob of place seekers,
the great leaders in congress and out.
But during that week there sat in the
White House one Theodore Roosevelt
who, during seven years of imperious
leadership, become used to and fond
of the adulation Of this selfsame mob
and those selfsame leaders He observ-
ed, first with surprise and then with
distinct annoyance, the sudden transfer
of affection from him, the President
to Taft the President elect. 1t was a
lonesome week for Roosevelt and the
germ of bitterness, close kin to the
microbe of hate, found Judgement in
his heart. He left the white House
with the memory of that week of lone
someness yet ranking in his bosom.
While on board the ship which was to
bear him away on that famous hunting
trip to darkest Africa, there was
placed in Roosevelt's hand letter
from Taft, the man whom he had made,
thanking Roosevelt for the services
rendered but, quite innocently, placing
the services rendered secondary to those
rendered by Brother Charlie Taft ano
his barrel. Thereupon, Roosevelt
charged up and down the hurricane
deck of that good ship and vented his
wrath in words which made the jolllest
of the jolly cars aboard that Graf

Washington, November 10Th 1913
Any observer who is interested, even
in dilettante way, in the noble game
of politics has no difficulty in finding
sufficient to engross his attention and
crafty his curiosity here in Washing
ton where various and intricate phases
of that pastime are constantly in evld-
ence. We sometimes hear baseball
referred to as the 'tgreat American
sport and it must be confessed that
it is indeed a most facinating game.
Millions of dollars are invested in base
ball plants and other million are annua-
lily paid out most cheerfully by fans and
fannettes for the privilege of seeing
their uniformed heroes perform prodl-
gies of valor upon the diamond. But
despite all this. | contend that the
game of politics runs baseball nigh
ty close second. if it does not lead in
the all-American amusement futurity.
In baseball there two big leagues and
anumberof minor leagues and the same
holds true in politics The democra-
tic and republican parties comprise the
major organization while the progress
sives, socialists, and prohibitionists
comprise the principal minor leagues.
There may be some objection on the
part of the progressives to this classif-
ication since their league played about
a million more people at the last pol
itical world series, held on the fifth
of November last year, than did the
major republican league, but, that
was admitted an off year for the G.
O. P. organization and should not be
accepted too confidently as forever fix
ing the status Of the two parties.
The altogether facinating game OF
politics is always in progress here.
Here are presumed to be the pick OF
all the performers in the country. Day
in and day out, for one years end to
another several hundred tried and traln
ed political athletes keep up the strug-
gle for the edification Of some ninety
million people. No sooner is the re-
suit of one contest announced on the
evening of an election day than the
lines are formed for another battle
the end of which is two or four years
hence. 1t matters not how many capt
aims fall by the way side, there are al
ways a number of valiant lieutenants
ready to step to the front and lead
the next charge, however for1orn lhe
hope may be.
Of course, one ofthe chief objects OF
the political game is to get in II you
are out and to stay in if you are In.
The fellows who are outside trying TO
get in usually create more disturbance
than do the fellows who are in and hope
to stay in. 1t is easier to attack than
defend, since, in political combat,
the attacking party has everything tc
gain and nothing to lose and moreover,
usually has choice of weapons. For the
past eight and one half months, the
Republicans have been sturdily storm

Commenting upon these reasons
presented by the graduates. President
Hillyer says:
whether these eason are justi.
fed OF not, they were given with ser.
%iousness and conviction, and without
the least OF either the snobbishness
that would indicate a false OF
superiority to country folks and cor.
ditions. or the wrong ambition to take
life otherwise than strenuously and
earnestly.
whatever may be thought as to
the soundness of the reasons given by
the seniors in ono normal school for
not wanting to teach. in the country,
It seems to he an actual and immense
ly important fact that normal school
graduates generally do feel Just az
these seniors did. II the reasons are
not sound, they should be educated
out of the mind Of normal school
students and normal schools can't go
about the task any too energetically.
IT they are sound, normal school stu
dents should cling to then, and neith-
or they nor the normal schools should
be blamed for doing so.
III they are sound, the transforma-
ton needed is not upon the side Of the
normal school and graduates, but up.
on the side Of the country school and
it's environment. Anyhow, no n need
expect ANYTHING else than that Dr.
ma school graduates will continue to
| avoid the country and go into the
town and city until. in some way. the
teachers work and life in the coun-
try are made to appear more attrac.
tive. to them.

GRAND FORKS SET
NORTHWEST RECORD
Firsrt Days Parcel Post Bust
ness Hero Exceeded All
Other Cities.
TWO PROVISIONS
CAUSING TROUBLE
Senders Fail to Use Proper
Stamps and Display the
Return Address.

Grand Forks, in the shipment Of
over 1000 pounds Of tea and coffee
yesterday through the parcels post,
seems to have established the north
west record for gross weight of ship
ments. as well as for the number OF
parcel.
Minneapolis had only about fifty
parcels during the entire day; Duluth
reported about thirty-f1ve, St. Paul
about the same number, while Fargo
had about twenty parcels.
All told. there were nearly 800 par
cells mailed in Grand Forks yesterday,
that number even exceeding the days
is big mail order houses, only about
zoo parcels being mailed there.
Having Some Trouble.
Some trouble ID being experienced
with patrons Of the parcels post
through failure to comply with these
two important rules:
Use parcels post stamps only.
Place the return address on the
Failure to comply with either Of
these regulations makes the package
unavailable under the parcels post.
Every parcel must have the parcels
post stamp, and the name Of the SEN
der. preceded by the word. from
must appear thereon.
Making Measurement.
The regulations prescribe that no
package having a combined length
and girth Of over seventy.two inches
shall be considered mailable. In
making the measurement the length,
Is figured over the greatest distance
in a straight line between the two
ends Of the parcel. while the girtn
is the actual measurement by.a tape
encircling the parcel at It's thickest
part.
Some Packages Insured.
OF the parcels received in Grand
Forks last night and this morning,
many were insured. The government
established an insurance department
in connection with the parcels post.
Delivery OF the parcels received in
the city was effected. Yesterday with
out delay, and the handling of thu
300 packages mailed yesterday also
was accomplished without undue stir
despite the fact that the parcels mus,
be weighed and a record made of eacl,
one to determine just what may have
to be done in the way Of providing
additional help to care for the depart

THE o S HEALTHFUL. .
FOOD KNOWN

It is perhaps not generally known
among Grand Forks families that
Minnesota" Spaghetti is one of the
most healthful foods known.
1t is four times as nutritious as beef
steak, six times as nutritious as po-
tatoes and, because it contains more
proteids than most foods. it is more
strength giving and less fattening.
Minnesota" Spaghetti gives the
power of endurance without overload.
ing the stomach and it should be free.
~ eaten by everyone. and especially
by children, in place Of meat.
Minnesota Spaghetti is Very, easy
to prepare, has a deliciously appetite
