Senator McLaurin has dropped out
OF the race for Governor, and there
are but few who will fail to acknowl-
edge that he displayed more wisdom
in doing so than he did in entering
the race. He is a good man, a bril-
liant man, but he is not cut out for
State or national politics. He can
serve the people of the State best in
the capacity Of legislator, and in that
sphere he has served them we'll.
There is more honor in being a good
law-maker than there would be in
being a bum Governor. Mr.. McLau.

Flames Starting in Boiler Room Of
Large Plant lmperil Lives Of
200 Men.

MedfoFd Fire which started from
an unknown cause destroyed the big
sawmill of the Rib Lake Lumber COM
pany The loss. which is estimated at
$4,000 is partly covered by insur-
ance.
The fire fighters had hard time in
saving the planning mill nearby The
fire is thought to have started in the
boiler room. In a moment the entire
building was in flames and could not
be saved, The plant viii most likely
be rebuilt.
The mill was one of the largest in
the state. Two hundred men narrow
ly escaped with their lives. so quickly
did the fire spread.
All OF the employees were taken from
the structure and efforts we're made to
prevent the flames spreading to the
neighboring buildings. The planning
mill was saved. but large piles Of lum-
er and timber stock we're destroyed.
and for a time 1t was feared the rising
wind would carry the flames into the
other parts OF the village.
A party of forty men who had been
searching the woods for Andrew
Kendl, a missing s-year-old boy. as
sisted in fighting the flames.

MURRAY'S PLEA FOR MILEAGE

Where do members OF congress
who come to Washington without their
families spend their time at night?"
This question was discussed in
the house the other day by Alfalfa
Bill Murray of Oklahoma in connec-
ton with the mileage provision Of
the conference report on the legisla-
tive bill Alfalfa Bill insisted that it
was the duty OF all members to bring
their families to Washington with
them, and he insisted that that was
why 1t was desirable to make liber-
al allowance for mileage.
The Oklahoma statesman declared
that in the absence of a mans family
time was likely to hang heavily on
his hands and he would do more
roaming around at night than was
good for him. Alfalfa Bill wanted
all members to have their families
with them constantly throughout the
sessions in order that they might not
grow lonesome
