Should Governor Eberhart set his
name to the eastman Distance tariff
bill that will become law
Extremely doubtful if the people of
this state are to gather the benefit
from this measure that many of them
fondly hope to realize.
Not entirely satisfactory has been
the operation of this law in Iowa and
states like Illinois with a big metro
politan center have not felt the need
of such a law.
The twin cities are becoming the
Chicago of the northwest. To many
farmers the value of such centers is
not apparent yet that there is value
cities like New York. Philadelphia
Chicago, st. Louis, Boston testify
The great states, if there be any ar
gument in this, are those states hav-
ing big centers of commerce.
Iowa has none such and Iowa is to-
day the one state in the Union most
rapidly running to grass.
Is there any answer in this? II
Governor Eberhart is to sign the bill
let us hope distance tariff is not det-
riment to state.

wrong? And is it any wonder that the
mail order house magnates are getting
rich? Do you care to help promote
such conditions -Winnebago Enter
prise.
One Of the pecularities Of the parcel
post is the amount of goods which are
being returned to the big mail order
concerns. When the parcels post went
into effect many people predicted that
it would be a wonderful aid to the Chi
cago mail order houses. The fact of
the matter is that increase of small
packages being returned to the big
firms, has increased over 800 per cent.
People who were in the habit of taking
substitutions now take advantage of
the cheapness of the parcel post and
return the articles.-Lake Wilson Pr

Gratis have got into the green corn

AS might be expected, the "sob
writer" of the ST. Paul Daily News
has begun dishing up the rankest
sort of gush about the daughters of
President Wilson. No doubt the Will
son girls are thoroughbred, high class
Americans, and credit to their par
ents, but the slushy stuff put out by
the News and kindred sheets will not
tend to make them more popular.
Those maps the twin city fellows
have been publishing to "clinch" their
arguments against the eastman bill
are the best arguments in the world
for the bill. Every map used has pic
tured the twin cities as the center of
everything, commercially speaking, in
the state. That's just what we're
fighting out here in the country. We
want to build up the other towns and
not have all the growth confined to
the cities.-Luverne Journal.
1t wasn't so long ago that the aver
age member Of a state legislature did
MT know a finger bowl from a glass of
water, but now the legislators of
Pennsylvania are considering a "pure
finger bowl" bill, which, if it becomes
a law, will make it misdemeanor for
a waiter to serve a finger bowl that
has not first been thoroughly cleansed.

HOME RULE FOR MINNESOTANS

HOME RULE FOR MINNESOTANS
MASSAGE of notable legislation
r has characterized the present
= session of the legislature.
After the desert Of profitable work
for two years the change comes as a
happy omen of the future.
1t is significant of many things:
Legislators are really trying to ascer-
tain the desires of the people and do
what they can to make those desires
workable; legislators are feeling their
responsibility to those who put them
in office; home rule is becoming an ac-
tuality and not vain word for the
political orator.

KISSING THE ROD

o heart of mine, we shouldn't
Worry so,
What we've missed of calm we couldn't have
You know.
What we've met of stormy pain,
And of sorrows driving rain,
We can better meet again,
If it blow!
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known,
When our tears fell with the shower,
All alonei-
Were not shine and shadow blent
AS the gracious Master MEANT
Let US temper our content
With his own.
For, we know, not every morrow
Can be sad!
So forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Let us fold away our fears,
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years,
Just be glad.-James Whitcomb Riley

Death of Mary Menerey.

Mary M. Menerey was born In
Brockway township, st. Clair county
Michigan, September ii, 1855, died at
thte home of her father, j. Menery,
in Coleman, Mich. April %, 1918.
At an early age she completed the
rural course in the country school
and from there went to the Yale
school. After completing her course
in the Yale schools she took up the
work of teaching. For several years
she was recognized as one OF the sue
cessful teachers of st. Clair county.
Her parents, brothers and sisters
having moved to Coleman she came
here in 1894 and accepted a position
i'm the Beaverton school where she
taught for eight years resigning to
care for her mother who passed
away March 2, 1908.
At the time of her mothers death
she decided to remain at home. Some
three years later she became afflicted
with the disease that finally caused
her death. During the years of her
intense suffering she had been cheer
full at all times and never gave up
hope of recovery. All that medical
skill could suggest was tried in the
fain hope that her life of usefulness
could be extended and that she might
remain to be joy and comfort to her
family.
Deceased leaves to mourn their loss
an aged father. four brothers and
three sisters, who all deeply feel the
loss of one who has been so thought
full Of their every welfare and was ev-
