Detroit Record: After considerable
elaboration over state politics and the
merits of the present and would be
administrations, this paper has decld-
ed to cast it's lot with the faction
which favors the election of A. 0. Eb-
erhart as governor of Minnesota.
Readers who follow this column close
lv will give US credit for not taking
the step hastily or ill-advisedly, for in
the past we have found more or less
fault with the present executive and
some of his official acts. We have
been open and frank in our criticism
and we shall follow this course, no
matter whom may next grace the gov
errors chair. While practically all
other portions of the paper are held
more or less suoservient to the obll-
cations we owe our constituency, yet
this portion is the personal vehicle OF
the editor and here we give express
sion to our personal opinions. What
the editor may think binds no one but
himself and to no one is he held re-
sponsible for his editorial utterances
on matters of current interest. Never
theIess, we feel that however much
privilege this conveys upon US, NE
must faithfully and conscientiously
represent these things which we feel
are vital to the welfare of our city,

A Repeater.
Brainerd Dispatch: "Hon. C. A.
Lindbergh is repeater. He has re-
peated his affidavit Of two years ago
that he is a republican. He has not
affiliated with the party since that at
fidavit. He has been Bull Mooser.
He is again a republican because he
needs republican votes" says the St.
Cloud Times. The Times is right. the
people will not be fooled this time,
however, for it is a we'll known fact
that at Washington Mr.. Lindbergh
has refused to affiliate with the re-
publican congressman, taking commit
tee assignments as progressive, but
refusing to hoist their banner in his
district At home a republican, at
Washington anything that suits his
fancy. Lindbergh is the only man who
has successfully played both ends of
the political game against the middle
and made it win. The republicans of
the Sixth district have candidate
in the person of H. J. Maxfeld who is
loyal to the interests of the district
and who will make a representative in
congress worthy of the name.

Sentiment Rapidly Crystaiizing.
Deerwood Journal: The sentiment
throughout the Sixth congressional
district seems to be crystaliZing quite
rapidly in favor of the candidacy Of
Hon. H. ]. Maxfeld of Wadena coun-
ty. Mr.. Maxfield is one Of the young
er generation Of the public men in
Minnesota, who is entitled to the con-
sideration of the voting public by
reason of the fact that his record
shows considerable constructive abll-
ity. His candidacy is viewed with
more than ordinary favor in the dis
trict by reason of the good work done
by him in assisting in the development
of Northern Minnesota during the two
terms which he served as president of
of the Northern Minnesota Develop
ment Association. Mr.. Maxfield was
one of the originators and the first
president of this association which
has developed to such a large extent
the idea of cooperative work among
the counties of northern Minnesota.
Later on he became immigration COM
missioner of the state, and while in
that position he demonstrated quite
plainly his originality and fearless
ness, and it is due in great part TO
his work as commissioner that the de-
partment today is as efficient as it IS.
In brief Mr.. Maxfeld is live wire,
hustler and booster, thoroughly IN
attune with the spirit of the voters OF
tbe district whom he seeks to serve.

Preside, Tex, Jan. 10.-AIthOugh
there was occasional firing during the
night, the real assault on Ojinaga by
Gen Pancho villa and his 500 Mexican
rebels had not been opened early today.

of dust were visible along the Chihua-

ing evidence OF the approach of other
large bodies Of troops, evidently rebeI
re-enforcements.
The federals have made ever pos

as follows.
yet that the turning point in business
has been recahed. but general sentiment
Is more hopeful. Wholesale trade is
rather more active. while retail demands
have broadened under the stimulus OF
the usual clearance sales and more sea-
sonable weather in some sections. Full
resumption of operations is reported at
New England footwear factories, which
have sufficient volume of contracts On
their books to keep machinery busy for
some time TO come"
Bradstreets says, in part, as folio vs.:
Trade and industrial affairs present a
ulOIc GueeElul aspect L MS Is as yet
more a matter of sentiment and tone
rather than of actual expansion in de-
mand and output, but favorable develop
ments certainly seem to outweigh those
OF an adverse character. Thus there is
a little more activity in some whole
sale lines, statesmen are going back on
the road, money for commercial needs is
easier. and banks are seeking Instead of
rejecting paper. The reverse side of the
picture Is found in the continued mild
weather, checking demand for coal and
heavy wearing apparel, more especially
clothing.
80 far as the future outlook is con-
cerned. there is a disposition the coun-
try over to look on the cheerful side Of
things and TO expect that a fair spring

The industrial situation has been

cided that Stephen Kirby, the Paco-
let man, came to his death by being

cused Of murder. Other arrests will

to kill Kirby. Tuesday night he is
said to have gone to the home of a
negro woman, and there he was at
tackled by negro man named Coot
Dawkins, who grabbed Kirby by the
lapels of the coat. Kirby broke away

The Menace Of Mecca.

"The pilgrimage to Mecca" says
the Scientific American, "is still
standing menace to the health Of the
world, in spite Of the sanitary pre-
cautions adopted by the various coun-
tries concerned, including the Otto
man Empire. The American consul
general at COnstantinople quotes sta
tistics Of pilgrims who travelled to
Mecca via ports of the Red Sea dur
ing 1912. There were S3,995 OF
these, most OF whom came by way OF
Jeddah, and Of this number 4,671
had to be subjected to quarantine or
other sanitary measures. Statistics
OF those arriving by the Hedjaz rail
way and other overland routes are
not given, but it is known that the
annual number of pilgrims often eX-
ceeds 100000. In 1912 1913 vessels
were engaged in carrying pilgrims,
of which 1874 were British, 90 Rus
sian, IS Dutch and 80 Ottoman. AS
to the origin Of the pilgrims, the lar
geSt number came from the far and
middle East, including 5000 from
Bombay, $500 from Singapore. and
1900 from Batavia. From the In
dian Ocean, Gulf of Oman, and Per-
