Albany shortage .... Sc
Three thousand nine hundred and
twenty-nine citizens of Stearns coun-
ty are deprived of the privilege of
voting on an important question.
When we consider that these people
all live outside of the city of St. Cloud
it is apparent that the sentiment for
vote is quite general.
st. Cloud has professed absolute
confidence in her ability to retain the
court house, yet she left no stone un-
turned to keep the matter from COM
ing before the people.
The question is far from being set
tied. st. Cloud can delay but she can
not prevent a vote. Personally the
Herald editor is in favor of st. Cloud
as against Albany, but we are OPP
posed to the method of coercion used
to prevent a vote.
4 dollar head for the removal of
names on a petition is rather expen-
sive. That was the prevailing price
around Sank Centre. The Herald un-
derstands that in other parts of the
county SO cents was the average price
paid. Possibly next time they will
cost even more. Wonder if this
wouldn't be considered bribery under
a corrupt practices act?
The commissioners in rejecting the
petition only complied with the law
and are not to be criticised.
The Herald watched the scrap from
the side lines during the past several
months and we were very much
amused at some of the arguments put
Up by the Granite City folks as to
why the "dear: pepul" should not vote
on the question. 1t was sometimes
apparent that they considered it pre-
posterous for any citizen living out
side of St. Cloud to attempt to say
or think out loud on this important
question. According to the St. Cloud
Times of last Friday it was high trea-
son for several citizens of this city to
attend banquet at Albany early in
the year and give aid, advice and en-
couragement in this contest. This at
titude has led people to the conclusion
that the people of St. Cloud look upon
the court house as something belong
ling to them only, while in most coun-
ties it is generally conceded that the
court house belongs to the entire
county
However a majority of the people
of this city formerly only took pas
sive interest in the contest. 1t re-
NAMED for the attacks of the Times
on Sank Centre to drive them solidly
into the ranks of Albany supporters.
In his answer to the Herald of last
week Mr.. Mcdonald further insults
the people of this city by severely crit
icising them for leaving their names
on the petition after having been re-
quested to remove them by the repre-
sentatives from St. Cloud.
The Herald editor had business in
st. Cloud last Saturday and while
there met number of prominent men
who voluntarily deplored the attitude
the Times was taking toward Sank
Centre and insisted that the paper
was not representing the sentiment of
the City. They admitted that it was
bound to injure the cause. 49,.

were made on the result and In

side accused the other of catching
flies by hand and "stuflng" the traps.

but he seldom wandered beyond the

was the sound Of music. Like q small

feet announced his approach. He
would circle about the piano and, with

The two chief houses Of the later
period repeat several features of the
Cnossian and Phaestian palaces, not
ably pillared halls and store-rooms
with great Jars ranged round their
walls. The larger iving-rooms seem
to have had finely frescoed walls.
Many fragments Of their decorations
have been recovered and are now
pieced together to show groups Of
Minoan ladies, warriors in procession,
and fan-bearing slaves.
OF the furniture, besides the bronze
vessels already alluded to. painted
vases in great variety have been
found, among which are very good ex-
amples of that use Of natural vege-
table forms for stylistic ornament
which is characteristic of the early
Late Minoan period; and some YES
sells In stone also have been unearthed
of which one, a slender vase in black
obsidian. Of exquisite form and admir-
able symmetry, once more fills US
with astonished envy Of the capacities
Of Cretan craftsmanship. That such
a material as this volcanic glass
could be turned with truth by work
men who had no tools but Of stone
or soft bronze would never be be-
lieved, had we not this vase and some
early vessels in Egypt to prove the
fact. The process must have been al
most as slow as a process Of nature!
One remarkable statuette in bronze
has rewarded the Ephor's labors. 1t
shows a male figure. clad in belted
lion-cloth with frontal flap. and stand
ing in an attitude of salutation. He
is probably an adorant Of the Cretan
goddess Many similar figures in
similar attitudes have been found else
where In the island, notably in the
Psychro cave; but none SO carefully
and scientifically modelled as this.
They all seem to have been deposited
in shrines and holy places by men

ton OF themselves in constant relation
with the deity.

tural connection with one another,
seem to have formed a sort of block,

they represent family settlement.

was the case at Hagia Triada. What
buildings are now visible are of the
Third Middle and First Late Minoan
Periods-that Is. the sixteenth century

both seigneurial residences and also
poor dwellings In q previous age, the
Second Middle Minoan. and possibly
Q village existed before any noble
