Protects States Interests.

Princeton Union: AS man and an
official the Union holds Attorney Cen
eral Smith in the highest esteem. As
has been repeatedly stated in these
columns, he attends to the duties of
his important office in an unostenta-
tious manner-in this respect he is
the exact counterpart of the late IL.
w. Childs, than whom Minnesota
never had more efficient and con-
scientious official. "Fuss and feath-
ers" are foreign to Lyndon A. Smiths
nature, but he is always on the alert
to protect the states interests. Mr..
Smith and his corps of assistants are
making good all the time.
Always on the Square.

Explosion iii.

In these modern days with things all
awry,
To keep women in their place, its no
use to try.
They are grabbing mems jobs more
and more every day;
A notable example: Mrs. Clara K.
She runs a bright daily, this clever
old hen
And does it a heap better than most
of the men.
She wants woman suffrage, but this
we will fight;
You bet We'll oppose it both day and
night,
For if it is granted her fame is so
great
Every dod-gasted office she'd grab in
the state.

Not A Band Wagon Player.

lie Sueur News: Let us be fair.
That is the only way to conduct a
political battle. The News does not
believe that Gov. Eberhart is the best
man in the entire state for the office
of governor, and knows that the Gov
ernor would admit this, as he is fair
minded man, regardless of what else
he may be, but it does believe that he
is a much better man than anyone
who is a chronic office seeker and
goes about the state heaping personal
abuse upon the opposition, as does Mr..
Lee. The News never plays for a
seat on the band wagon, and would
rather advocate a man wLo is right,
and certain to lose, than one who is
wrong, and certain to win, but in sup
porting Eberhart we have in mind a
man who is right, one who will win
and seat on the band wagon, all at
the same time.

much good leather. That Ieft-foot

81 was feeling bright that morning,
and l had an idea. See here, why
don't you find left-legged man that

him.
Where would I find him?' asked
Abe.

seemed to please him, for he perked
up and went out whistIing, with the
left shoe in his pocket.
81 had about forgotten the matter,
when, four or five months later, Abe
come back with left-legged man.
He had been wounded at Gettysburg,
too, on the Confederate side, and
their feet was a pair. l sold 'em a
pair of shoes between 'em, and they
were so pleased they stayed half an
hour, chatting with me.
81 gathered that both were in mod
est conditions. Hank, the left-legged
man, had met Abe quite by accident
at the reunion of the two forces
which happened last summer. It
turned out that Hank came from a
little place in Virginia where Abe had
spent three weeks with his regiment.
Abe wasn't slow in those days, and,
having then two sound legs and be-
ing, as imagined, not bad-loOking
young fellow, he won the heart of a
pretty Virginia girl.
But won't marry you, Abe she
said, until we have whipped you out
of your boots and peace has come.
Then, and not till then, you can call

SECURES WRIT OF PROHIBITION

Case Set For Hearing On December

Fight Restraining Order

The election contest which was in
stituted by w. w. Booher against A
e. Mcbride was delayed yesterday b,
the action or the latter who went be
fore the Supreme Court OF Nevada and
secured writ OF prohibition. which
rcstrains the commissioners from
starting recount OF the ballots as
was Intended this afternoon.
This will delay further proceedings
in the case until December lith. the
date set by the court for hearing the
case. In tho event that the court af.
ter hearing the case makes the writ
permanent, then there will be no
further recourse and Mcbride will
take his'scat In the assembly.
II, however. the writ should be set
aside, then the commissioners will i'm.
mediately begin the recount.
In the preliminary skirmish IN this
case Mcbride has won point In nc.
complishing n delay. The supreme
court will probably be called upon TO
decide whether or not the old law un.
der which the suit was instituted haE
been repealed by the elections law
passed at the last session. But the
principal point lies In the fact that
the legislative session will begin or
Monday, January 18th. which leaves
but short time to accomplish re.
count CT the county's vote, and II the
completion should be delayed until the
session starts Mcbride would take his

WILSON
OUTLINES POLICY

We should be fit and ready to
aid the warning countries Of Eu.
rope when they find It difficult to
do for their peor!s What they have
hitherto been easily able to do.
We have grossly erred in the
way in which we have stunted
and hindered the development of
our present marine, and now when
we need ships we have not got
them.
Two great measures, one to
unlock the resources of the ma.
tional domain and the other to
encourage the use Of naviqabIe
waters for the generation of pow
er have passed the house and are
ready for consideration by the
senate.
A great piece of LEGISLATION
should receive the sanction of the
senate; mean the bill which
gives a larger measure Of self
government to the people Of the
Philippines.
How are we to carry our goods
to the empty markets II we have
not the ships? Hence the pending
shipping bill, discussed by the last
session, but as yet passed by
neither house. In my Judgment
such legislation is imperativeIy
needed.
The great matter Of rural cred
It's still remains to be dealt with,
but 1t cannot be perfected yet.
The duty Of economy lin gov
ernment exPenses) is manifest
and imperative. But with
- the mere growth of the country
itself thre must come inevitable
increase of expense. It is not ex-
penditure, but extravaganza, that
we should fear being criticised
for.
We must depend, in time Of
peril not upon standing or re-
serve army, but upon a citizenry
trained and accustomed to arms.
