GOSSIP OF THE PRESS
People Are Extravagant

Mankato Free Press: With almost
every town in the state asking for an
appropriation of one kind and another,
it is rather difficult for the legislature
to apply the knife to appropriations.
The people are in large measure to be
blamed for the increase in tax rates,
state, county and municipal. When
the people reach the point where they
can exercise economy, the legislature
will follow suit.

EBERHARTS STAND

~ OVERNOR Eberhart vetoed the
II Nolan Public Utilities bill.
~ This he seems to have done in
the face of considerable pressure to
secure his signature. It is a welcome
sign of backbone and a more than Or
dinarily clear conception of his duty.
In theory the Nolan bill doubtless
was right. In practice it is open to
argument. There are good many
reasons to believe that any municipal
control of the public service corpora
tons would have been inadequate and
could have furnished the people small
relief.
Robert LaFollette and Woodrow
Wilson saw this clearly and the great
est boon these two great men gave
their states was to secure the creation
of Utilities commission.
That is what Governor Eberhart is
working for, what he insists upon hav-
ing even though he finds it necessary
TO Call all extra SSSSlOIl VI LIlc icy 1910
ture to secure it.
Public service corporations to be
properly controlled and made amen
able to the best interests of the entire
citizenship of the state must be con-
trolled harmoniously and equally
throughout the state. Mr.. Eberhart
saw this as Mr.. La Toilette and Mr.,
Wilson had seen it before him. This
is the thing he wants. In this fight he
deserves the support and admiration
of the people of the state.
This paper has not always agreed
with the governor in the past ano
doubtless shall disagree with him in
the future but the editors trust they
are sufficiently unselfish to give credit
where credit is due without regard tt
past differences or future contingenc-
les. In this case it is due and it is tt
be earnestly hoped that the Governor
succeeds in his outlined platform.

Ben Againi

Milroy Echo: C. M. Bendixen is al
ways up to snuff with resolutions, In
vestigations, etc. His latest is the re-
solution asking the 63rd congress to
not hit the farmers too hard with the
tariff revision. Ben had better spend
his spare moments from now on, just
how to explain himself on the county
option vote on his homecoming. His
investigation committee came in on the
home stretch, greatly to their SORROW
for they found themselves just where
they started and devested of all their
money. We note from the Morgan
Messenger of last week that their
work was over.

PURSUED THEIR SERIOUS FOLLY

NJ Gus folly.
Va The end of life is living, not
excessive exertion to outshine some
neighbor, to rise to perch higher
than that occupied by some esteemed
billiards.
Living is the one important duty,
the one thing not to be classed as
serious folly. Remember this: The
happiness of your life depends upon
what you determine to be living. Is
it amassing wealth, is it squandering
youth and nerve in inane seeking for
transitory pleasures, is it in dissipa-
ton of mind or body, is it in indiffer-
ence to others and sordid selfshness
Having answered these questions
rightly you will no longer be one OF
the wandering herd pursuing its seri-
Gus folly.
Have you forgotten that the grass
grows beneath your feet, that flowers
bloom, that the sky is blue, the sur
bright, the woods fragrant and tempt
ing?
Is your ear blind to the song of the
wind, the compelling music of the muir
muring water?
Is there no answering glow in your
heart to the smile on child's face, ne
ache at a child's cry?
Do you hear no host of radiant her
aids chant anthems at the rise of the
sun nor catch no overtone of exquisite
harmony from the Emusic of thu
shores ?"

Which Are You?

Fairfax Standard: The difference
between an agriculturist and farmer
is that the farmer gets up at the break
of day, feeds his stock and has break
fast at sunup. After his frugal meal
he bitches his team to the pillow, takes
the hard handles in his horny hands,
calls "gee and haw" to his team and
plows all the long, weary day. The
agriculturist gets up at o'clock in the
morning and after an easy breakfast
pulls on his gloves, orders his horse
and buggy and drives to town.

CONQUER EVIL BY GOOD
)R. LUTHER H. Gulick and others

~ R. LUTHER H. Gulick and others

in mind not only to preserve the beau
tiful folk-dances of the country, but
also, in doing this, to supplant the fac
dances of the present day.

ugly vulgar Dances" says DR.. Gulick
cit is foolish to try to stop it by legal
measures. We must provide dances
that are more beautiful and attrac-
tive"
Here is the right philosophy. Toe
often our virtue is purely negative
There are too many "shalt nots" in our
laws. What is needed is few affirma
tives. Evil is conquered less by fight
to overthrow evil than by the estab-
fishing of the good and the pure. There
is no vacuum in the human soul. I'm
worthy things cannot be turned out to
leave an empty room-but the worthy
thing must be enthroned within.
There is but one way to give up
laziness and that is to go to work
There is but one way to conquer self
ishness, and that is to engage in un-
selfish activities.
Teachers and preachers can talk anc
argue forever against inferior and vul-
gar books and pictures and dances ano
get nowhere. The way to cure the
situation is to bring forth the books
and pictures and dances that are love
ly and wholesome and sane and give
people chance to see how beautiful
they are The rest will be easy. When.
ever the lovely thing faces the pnlove

them with unerring vision.

EACH IN HIS OWN TONGUE

A fire mist and a planet,
A crystal and cell.
A jellyfsh and saurlan,
And cave where the cave men dwell;
Then sense of law and beauty.
A face turned from the clod-
Some call it evolution
And others call it God.
A haze on the fair horizon,
The infinite, tender sky,
The ripe, rich tint of the cornfelds,
And the wild geese sailing high
And all over upland and lowland
The sign of the golden rod
Some of us call it Autumn
And others call it God.
Like tides on a crescent sea beach,
When the moon is new and thin,
Into our hearts high yearnings
Come yelling and surging in
Come from the mystic ocean,
Whose rim no foot has trod-
Some of us call it longing
And others call it God.
A picket frozen on duty,
A mother starved for her brood,
Socrates drinking the hemlock,
And Jesus on the rood;
And millions who, humble and nameless.
The straight, hard pathway trod-
Some call it Conservation
And others call it God.

Mankato Free Press: "There will
not be two standards of morality, one
for women and another for men in this

male companions. "In cases of this
kind the men are just as guilty as the
women" concluded the court. IRE

TAKE YOUR CHANCE.

Was there ever a more manifest

And what was it but lie?
Nothing" says Royer-Collard, lis

Facts. indeed. are often little more
than bludgeons in the hands Of the
ignorant to brighten us from the
clear view of the truth.
Perhaps that is why the Mulhall
revelations make such dry reading.
Taking 1t for granted that the former
lobbyist is dealing in facts and that
they will result in much good, it re-
mains a regrettable fact that the
articles get on ones nerves. Roger
Collard evidently knew whereof he

HELP WANTED.

History is repeating itself as to
the harvest being plenty and the
sons of rest were loafing in the
park When a farmer offered them
$3 day to work in the harvest they
demanded $3.50 When that figure
was met they demanded 81. The
spokesman for the tramps asked the
farmer:
Is your land rolling or broken -
Rolling" said the farmer.

This is free country and a mau

vests.

be poor, and some men will snap at
jobs that pay them SO per diem and

Northern Indiana is booming, it is

centering in Lake county 1t looks
like the advancement will continue
indefinitely and the population of
Lake county will be doubled within
the next decade at the present rate.
Its fame is spreading all over the
country and industrial chiefs have
their scouts at work looking for sites.

but, on the other hand, the industries
can say: Sell at a fair price or we
will go to Indiana" The break is
coming, and then the greedy dock
company and other owners will have
to reduce the price and let down to
the bars to industries which have
been clamoring for locations along
the Calumet river. Indiana will force
this action and it is coming. The
dock company and the wealthy hold
ers of vacant land are making their
last desperate stand for the fabulous
prices. The industries are holding off

Indiana to lower that limit. 1t is
