Une only way you
mt the "insidous lobby"
4 getting in it's work is to
elect men who cannot be lobbied.
In the United States Senate
there are, and have been such
men as Nelson Of Minnesota,
Harris of Tennessee. Morrill, Of
Vermont, Pettus of Alabama and
many others; in the House, Town
send of Michigan, Cooper Of
Wisconsin, DeArmond of Nilsson.
ri, Moon of Tennessee, Morris of
Minnesota, Burton of Ohio and
many others. All these men had
long years of public service and
there never was even whisper
or suggestion that they were
ever influenced in their public
action by. any improper methods.
There are men of equal ability,
integrity and honor to be found
in every legislative district, con-
gressional district and state in
the Union. If the voters will
put men of this class in places of
public trust, lobbyists, no matter
how skillful. and corruption
funds, no matter how large, can
no more influence legislation
than the incoming tides can be
stayed by building enbankments
of sand. This is the only way
that lobbyists can be frustrated
and corruption be defeated. You
can legislate till the COWS come
home but if you elect officials
that can be corrupted some meth.
cd will be found of corrupting
them. The remedy for all politi-
cal wrong doing lies more in men
than in legislation.

The new editor attended the
meeting of the Agricultural So.
ciety of Stearns County at the
Commercial Club rooms Wednes-
day of last week and was graf
flied to observe. the harmonious
manner in which the business
meeting was conducted. With
this condition existing it isn't
any wonder that the Stearns
County Fair is generally recog-
nized as being the best county
fair in the state.

A. M. Welles Of the Sank Centre
Herald has sold his printing plant to
Asa Wallace and will take a much
needed rest" says the Akeley Herald
Review. That Wallace will make
good is a foregone conclusion. This
will give brother Welles a splendid op-
portunity to look up bride, but
whether he'll make good we hesitate
to perdict. --Bemidji Pioneer.

BOOSTS FROM THE "CANG

The newspaper boys of the state
commented literally on the change of
ownership of the Herald in the issues
of last week. They were very gener-
Gus in extending fluctuations to both
the retiring and new editor. We are
taking the liberty of publishing few
of the comments herewith:

travel about a bit and casually

calities one is bound to arrive at
the conclusion that there are

Friends Of Asa Nj. Wallace, former
editor and present owner of the Stand
ard, will be interested to learn that
he has just completed deal whereby
he becomes owner of the Sank Centre
Herald, owned and operated for the
past several years by A. M. Welles,
formerly of Redwood Falls. The deal
has been pending for some time but
but we have been reliably informed
that Mr.. Wallace will take the Herald
over August 1st. 1t would be folly for
us to attempt to describe our old boss
ability as writer and country news
paper man, but suffice to say that he
is hnstler and will soon convince the
people of that section of that fact.
We predict that the Herald under
Wallace's guidance will fast became
one of the leading papers of Stearns
iounty. Success to him.-Fairfax
Standard.
1t is rumored that A. NJ. Welles,
the talented editor Of the Sank Centre
Herald, has sold his newspaper to Asa
M. Wallace, deputy state fire marshal.
If the report is true the Herald has
fallen into good hands, but we'll all
miss Brer. Welles just the same.-Osa-

A. M. Welles, s'the bachelor editor"
has sold his Sank Centre Herald to
Asa NJ. Wallace, at present deputy
fire marshal for Minnesota. Bro.
Welles is one of the best newspaper
men in the state, and has been in the
editorial harness so long that his re-
tirement will only be temporary. At
least it is hoped so, as the newspaper
s'boys" of Minnesota would regret
very much to have him quit the active
journalistic field. Asa Wallace was

The Sank Centre Herald, in it's cur
rent issue, contains an announcement
of Asa M. Wallace of his purchase of
that paper, to take effect August lst,
and states that the policy of the paper
will be outlined in the issue of his in
itial number. Editor Welles makes
no statement except that he will col
lect all bills and pay all claims, and
that his successor will carry out all
contracts. He will no doubt say fare
we'll in his next and last issue. Mr..
Welles is an excellent newspaper man,
| and we wish him well wherever his
lines may be cast. Editor Wallace is
a journalist of experience and ability.
We cordially welcome him to Stearns
county and trust that our journalistic
relations may be pleasant.-S Cloud
Times.
The report comes from Sank Centre
that A. M. Welles has sold the Herald
of that city to Asa Wallace, deputy
state fire marshal. MIR. Welles is not
at his office today and the report cam
not be verified. Mr.. Wallace isan ex-
perienced newspaper man, and if he
becomes the owner of the Herald will
maintain the high excellence of the
paper under the editorship of the
gifted editor who doeth all thing

to have Bro. Welles remove from
Stearns county, and wish him contin-
ued prosperity wherever he may
abide. Cloud Journa. Press.

One reason for the high cost
of living can be found in the fact
that last year the people of the
United States spent four times
as much for drink as they did for
food and clothing, twice as much
for confectionery as they did for
meat, two thirds as much for
chewing gum as they did for
flour, enough for tobacco to half
pay the national debt and more
for automobiles than they did for
farm machinery.

President Wilson is having
his trouble over the distribution
of the political pie in Minnesota.
A few days ago he nominated F.
Finnegan to be postmaster at
Morris and sent his name to the
senate for confirmation. It ap-
pears that the gentleman was
selected by the Lynch Hammond
faction with the result that the
strong Bryan crowd are in the
air. J. r. Bennett Of St. Cloud,
who has about as much use for
Fred Lynch as an average man
has for rattlesnake, made a
hurry-up trip to the nations
capital to try and prevent the
confirmation. In the distribut-
ion of the loaves and fishes to
the faithful both factions are
about even to date. All in all,
perhaps, Mr.. Wilson is slowly
arriving at the conclusion that

South Amboy, Feb. 7:--Since
there has been change in the offic-

this city, the church has started out
on the progressive line. The lecture
and Sunday school rooms have been
most elegantly remodeled and fixed
up for the purposes for which they
are used. Steam heat having been in
stalled. the interior of the church
proper and main audience room is
being refitted and redecorated. while
electric lights have been added,
which makes the interior equal to
most Of the churches in the city. As
the congregation is small In number
they certainly deserve much COM
mendation for the manner in which
they are beauttfying their house of
worship. But it Is tho long pull,
strong pull, and the pull altogether
that tells. And that is what is tell
