"The Redwood Gazette published
last week pictures of the grand stand
and five other buildings on their Fair
Grounds. Redwood County has every
reason to feel proud of this sextette
of buildings. We hate to admit it,
but on paper they look better than
our own Fair buildings do."-New
Ulm Review.
Come on over, and see for yourself,
New Ulm. You'll admit the picture
didn't exaggerate a bit. Ordinarily
Redwood County isn't bit stuck-up,
but We are so proud Of those fair
buildings that we just naturally ele-
vate our chins. We hold reception
in these same buildings Wednesday
Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Come
on over!

WHEN THE BOYS GO.

l@N September 18 the French
II Government issued decree
permitting the mother or
legal guardian of youth under twen-
ty to authorize his enlistment in the
absence of the father. A dispatch from
Vienna says that Emperor Francis
Joseph wept as he signed a similar
decree, saying that nothing in all his
life had caused him more sorrow.
Among the wounded in the hospital
at Bordeaux was found German SOL
dier who was fifteen years and nine
months old
In some respects these facts are
the most serious items of news that
have come from a blood-soaked con-
tinent. If, after a war of less than
two months duration, three nations
are already calling out their boys, the
future of Europe grows dark. These
lads were to have been the fathers
of tomorrow, the toilers and bread
winners, the factory hands and the
farm hands, the operatives of rail-
roads and of commerce, the physicians
and the statesmen. When the boys
begin to go, the virility of the races
is threatened.
This drafting of youths under twen-
ty signifies two awful situations. In
the first place, it means that the
havoc played by modern instruments
of destruction has already far exceed
ed the largest estimates. In the sec
ond place, the conclusion must be
drawn that these warning nations
would not be calling out the boys un-
less their rulers were preparing for
a long struggle.
The American people have hoped,
and still pray, that the insensate fury
that has seemed to blind the rulers of
these innocent peoples would soon
spend itself. But they are apparent
" possessed by the mad notion that
1t is struggle for their very exist
ence upon the earth.
Some of these boys will survive the
carnage as cripples and veterans 1t
would be interesting if contemporary
kings and diplomats could live to read
what these youngsters will some day
see written by the cold hand of his
tory of the great war of 1914.-Min-
neapolis Journal.

AT NAPOLEON'S TOMB
Robert Ingersoll.)

A LITTLE while ago I stood by
n the grave of the old Napoleon
"a magnificent tomb of gilt

100000 bayonets back upon Paris

WINFIELD SCOTT HAMMOND
(From the State Press.

We commend Congressman Ham
mond for his devotion to his plain du-
ty. If the voters look at it in the
same light, his refusal to come home
to make speeches till his work in con-
gress is done, will result in his cleo
tion.-Wheelock's Weekly.
Hon. w. S. Hammond, the next gov
ernor of Minnesota, is attending strict
~ to public business in Washington
and has no time or disposition to re-
turn to the state before Congress ad-
iourns. Mr.. Hammond has proven him
self to be a most faithful public Off
cial who believes in serving his coun-
try first, and before he makes politi-
cal speeches at Sunday picnics.-Can-
non Falls Beacon.
A good clean record as public SER
want is the best recommendation any
man can have who is seeking your
support at the general election. Win
field Scott Hammond has got it, SO
why not elect him governor.-New
London Times.
Mr.. Lee ridiculed the idea of the
economy and efficiency commission
and Mr.. Hammond endorsed it. Later
Mr.. Lee saw his mistake and made
haste to endorse the proposition. That
is the time the people of Minnesota
lead the "hoss" of the Republican par
ty to water, and made him drink,
whether he liked it or not.-Heron
Lake News, (Rep.)
An admirer of Mr.. Hammond, and
one who predicts victory for the st.
James man, is Albert Berg, former
Secretary of States. Mr.. Berg, who in
his day was one of the big Republi-
can leaders of Minnesota and who
still is in close touch with the
political game, has bunch that Min
nesota will again break into the Demo-
cratic column and that President Will
son will be responsible. He says that
the Scandinavians of Minnesota have
a high regard for the president and
that the course pursued by the ad-
during the European con-
f1ict has tended to strengthen their
friendship. AS a result, Mr.. Berg
says, Congressman Hammond will
proft.-Exchange
Colonel Day of the Fairmont Sen
tinel predicts Hammond will get out
of the Second district with 5000 to
the good. Other good judges believe
Mr.. Days figures conservative.-Win-
nebago Press News.
Laying aside my own views OF W..
S. Hammond, the Democratic guber-
material candidate, is not to be sneezed
at. The population centers are for
him and l am not so sure, but If the
election was held today that he would
distance the Long Prairie man by at
least 10000. Hammond has not yet
opened his personal campaign. They
saw he is a whirlwind when he starts,
but he will have to make up much
lost time.-County Chairman.
The Herald does not believe that
in supporting Hammond for governor
it has lost its Republicanism. If it
has then how about Lee and others
who kicked over the traces two years
ago? The Herald is only supporting

STAYING ON THE JOB.

TINE best politics is no politics.
Staying on the job, as some
one has put it, will gain the
Democratic party million more votes
than jumping into the campaign.
The administration is charged with
abnormal responsibilities. The coun-
try has confidence in its head. Nc
judgment could be sounder than that
which keeps the administration at its
task. None could be more unsounj
than that which urges it to put aside
it's task.
All over the country it is believed
the people are now disposed to give
the president support. Many Demo
cratic candidates will be elected, in
the tail of the presidents kite-if the
situation does not change-who would
otherwise have no chance But all this
is predicated, as it ought to be, on
sticking to the nations job.-Minne-
apolis Journal.
