THE LAST CALL.

It is possible that our readers have
wearied of the constant exploitation
of the Stearns County Fair, but our
excuse is that we regard it as the
most important affair that will be
pulled off this year and its success
means more to the county than that
of any other undertaking that will be
placed upon the boards this season.
Stearns County is one Of the great
est in the way of natural and created
resources of any in the state. Owing
to the conservative character OF its
citizens these resources have not been
heralded abroad to the same extent as
those localities possessing fewer adj
yantages. Every indication points to
the fact that this fair will eclipse all
others in every line. The management
have taken every action in their pow
er to make it great success.
It is now up to the citizens to 90
their part. Everyone who can pos
sibly do so should make it a point to
attend and to bring something for ex-
hibition. More outsiders will be pres
emit than ever before and the impress
sions made will be widespread and
far-reaching. =.
There will be an "Albany-Freeport"
Day, a "Melrose Day" and a st.
Cloud" Day, but we especially wish TO
impress upon the citizens OF this city
that every day will be "Sauk Cen
tire" Day. 1t is due from the citizens
of this city that they give the Fair an
enthusiastic and unanimous support.
Considerable time, money and labor
have been expended in advertising,
automobile runs and in other ways to
get outside residents to attend. I'm
less we attend ourselves this will
make us appear ridiculous. Sank Cen
tire has never yet failed to get to the
front and now is the time for US to
make the official slogan: "Stearns
County Fair; We'll all be there" mean
something.

UPLIFT SOURCES.

The only real lasting work that is
worthy of the highest human effort is
the uplifting of humanity to a higher
and nobler standard, Intellectually,
socially and morally.
The four great agencies of human
uplift are our churches, our schools,
our newspapers, and our places OF
amusement.
All these agencies are splendidly
presented in this city. Our churches
compare favorably with those of any
city of the same size and population in
the state.
Our schools are splendidly equipped
with paraphanelia and our corps OF
teachers rank among the best.
Our newspaper is one of the great
country newspapers of the state. We
SO state ourselves and we are a good
Judge of a newspaper.
In the Caughren, Mr.. DeBeau has

A MANIFEST ABSURDITY.

According to the Mortified News
party of distinguished ladies, men,
bers of the Minnesota Woman's Anti
Suffrage Association, visited that city
and held a meeting declaiming on the
evils that would result in granting the
women of Minnesota the right of Bal
lot.
We were never very strong for this
woman suffrage stuff. But as long as
it is advocated by Mrs. Fuller, of the
Little Falls Transcript, Mary Nc
Fadden, and we have five full grown
suffragettes in our own household,
when we wish to argue against the
proposition we go off by our lonesome
and hold a soliloquy. While prophecy
is not our long suit, we do not think it
needs the vision of a seer to see that
in the future, and the very near
future at that, sex will no longer con-
stitute a distinction in the privileges
of citizenship. We confess we don't
like it but we are fully aware that for
all that we or any one else can do, the
effort to stop it would be as futile as
it would be to sit on the banks of the
Mississippi river and try to stay its
on-fiowing flood by whiting shavings
off a pine single and casting them
into the torrent. 1t is surely going 20
come to pass, it is written in the stars,
and really the only reason why we are
against it is because Of the inherited
prejudice handed down to US from our
barbaric ancestors.
But this Woman's Anti-Suffrage
Association gets our goat. We can't
see why it is not just as "unwomanly"
for woman to get out upon the plat
form to make an "anti" as it is to
make a "pro" suffrage address. We
should think the babies would get as
lonely while mamma was out trying to
convince the men that she ought not
to vote as it would if she was out try
ing to convince them that she ought
to vote.
If the awful suffragettes force the
men to allow women full ballot privi-
leges, the good" women will not have
to surrender" their womanhood, and
mingle with degenerate men at the
polling places, unless they so desire.
Women going out and declaring that
women ought not to be allowed to
vote because they do not want to vote
themselves is the funniest exhibition
of "whistling down the wind" this day
and generation affords; it is so de-
lightfully inconsistent. But if women
were not inconsistent they wouldn't
be women and if they were not women
they would not be any more interest
ing than masculine humanity.

IT is WELL.

This promises to be one of the most
quiet campaigns in the history of
state politics. With the election only
forty-five working days ahead there
has nothing been done in the way of
campaigning and there is nothing do
ing now. While in st. Paul last week
we visited both the headquarters of
the Republicans in Minneapolis and
the branch headquarters in st. Paul.
It is so quet there that the click Of the
typewriters girls jaws as she chewed
her gum sounded like the report of a
rapid fire maxim opening fire on the
enemy.
The Democratic headquarters in st.
Paul were as lonesome as a prayer
meeting when the automobile season
is at its height. Even the "bottle-
scared veterans of a hundred political
campaigns who, in times past were
wont to assemble in the headquarters
anti-rooms and in the Hobbies of the
hotels where the headquarters are sit
uated, were absent. We couldn't even
find fellow "has been" to swap rem
iniscences with.
There has not been single cam
paign speech made during the cam
paign up to date and none are an
nounced-and it is well. We have prob
ably done as much campaigning as
any man in the state, yet we never be-
lieved in it, but we were compelled, or
thought we were compelled to do so,
because others did it. We have al
ways believed, and still believe, that
the voters of the state are intelligent
enough to vote right without any in
structions from spellbinders or lurid
articles in newspapers. We believe
that the day of stump speaking is
past and we are glad of it. We be-
ieve that if not a single campaign
speech was made the result would not
be changed, and we are considerable
of a political wind-jammer at that.

THE FIRST LIGHTHOUSE.

The first lighthouse was erected at
Pharos, near Alexandra, in Egypt. It
was finished in 285 B. c. It's height
was $50 feet, and the light, which was
kept burning on top at night, was vis-
IDLE Al miles away. This tower ex-
listed for some 1000 years, when it
was destroyed by an earthuake. The
modern lighthouse is the home in
which "Zumalweiss" grain belt beers
aids to good health advertisement.

supplied us with a place of amuse-
ment, and is offering attractions that
are far beyond those of most places OF
Sank Centres population.
None of these agencies are Of any
value to city unless they are sup
ported and utilized, and support is not
limited merely to financial aid but
means cooperation, utilization, friend
illness and recognition.
If paying the preacher was the only
thing needed to support church we
could raise the money for his salary,
let him preach to the janitor, and all
go fishing every Sunday. He must
have cooperation in his work or his
efforts for uplift are wasted. If every
seat was occupied in every church
every Sunday for the coming year, at
the end of that year the moral con-
dition of our people would be so i'm
proved that we would have no need OF
new lookup and all questions re-
lating to the morality Of our commune
ity would settle themselves.
If our citizens would see to it that
every child of school age, not other
wise provided for, was brought to re-
ceive the advantages of our public
schools, the Sank Centre Of the future
would be far different city than the
Sank Centre of the present.
If every citizen of the city and in
the country tributary to the city would
cooperate with the Herald by con-
tributing the items of interest that
come under their notice and backing
it with their moral support in every
effort that makes for the benefit of
the community, it would be much
better paper than it is now and that
would be travelling some.
If we realize our opportunities and
yield to Mr.. DuBeau the support that
his efforts in behalf Of furnishing high
class entertainments warrants, he will
be able to supply us with class of
attractions that will instruct, elevate
and improve the moral standing of the
community and not be detrimental in
any way to public morals.
To accomplish the best results all
these agencies must work together.
The preacher should utter no senti-
ments from the pulpit that he would
not be willing to publish in the press;
the press should publish no article
that could not be repeated in the pull
pit; the schools should impart princi-
pies of honesty, industry, virtue and
morality as well as technical instruc-
ton, and our places of amusement
should offer nothing to the public that
could offend the most refined woman,
and all this can be accomplished by
mutual cooperation of all these
agencies. sss@*

Stanley and KinChelOe Will
Carry Christian By De-
CISiVe MajOritieS.

The first statewide official primary
election under the new law is being
held to-day all over the State.
Local interest centers in the long
term senatorial race. Beckham has
a following in the county that may
be considered formidable. Gov. Nc
Creary's support will not run much
over 100 votes. The total vote isex-
pected to be about $500 in the DEM
ocratic races. Beckham will receive
about 625 votes, McCreary l25 and
Stanley 1850, giving Stanley 1000
majority. But for the fact that
Beckham has fooled a good many
voters as to his attitude on NATIONAL
prohibition. he would not run much
stronger than McCreary. In the short
term race the result is not indicated.
The McCreary and Stanley men are
both seemingly for Camden. Young
and Smith will receive only scatter
ing votes.
In the Congressional race Kinche-
loe will carry Christian county by a
very decisive majority over Judge
Henson. His nomination is regard
ed as a foregone conclusion.
Gov Wilson is expected to carry

HERSCHEL PERRY'S HOME.

Thursday the house of Herschel
Perry, near Gresham Chapel, in the
neighborhood of Kirkmansvifle,
caught fire at about noon. The con-
hagration is thought to have had its
origin in a defective fue.
The family were all away from the
house when it caught and it was
burned to the ground. Mr.. Perry's
little baby boy was in the house and
his clothes caught from the flames.
The child was burned to death be-
fore the family could reach him.
