: About 700 freshmen failed at the
end of the first semester Of the state
university last year. In nine cases
i out of ten the failure was due to lack
!. of thoroughness in common branch
2 es. As only the best of graduates
. of high schools usually go to the uni
j versity, what must be the condition
of those who are fair, average OF
poor ?-Slayton Gazette.
Do you notice that the average
boy who graduates from one of our
Minnesota high schools does not join
, the loafers? He gets a job and in
short time has won promotion, or
else he goes to college and prepares
himself for broader field of useful
ness.-Albert Lea Tribune.
! Human life is not worth pinch of
snuff so long as any irresponsible per-

Just to satisfy our own curiosity
we asked a well-known citizen whom
he considered the "best people in
town." "The best people in this town
or community" he said, "are those
, who believe in the town, who speak
good word for the town and who
spend their money IN the town." Are
T, you one of the best citizens Carl

: The man who refuses to help some
E good cause or to march along the
path of progress because it may in
tarfere with his accumulation of
wealth is not a true citizen. If in
the brave days of old our forefathers
q had been imbued with that spirit we
would not now be citizens of an in
y dependent nation. But because of the
patriotism and superiority to world
ly gain displayed by those same men
o we can hold our heads high. And il
= is our bounden duty not to lower the
= standard.-St. Charles Union.

h declaring it has outlived its useful
). ness and should be relegated to OBJ
7 livion. She calls the marriage SER
q vice a poll-parrot affair and the
method as used in reciting the pledge
as ridiculous. Notwithstanding this
Y declaration of the woman at the head

" there is little doubt but that the mar

will continue to be the popular style
for many years to come.-Stillwater

: Well, the defeated candidates in

poets that have been noted since the
weather department was established
E in Washington. Unless some unusual
e catastrophe overtakes the standing
wheat crop, this years harvest will

q lar wheat. All of our alarming and
I disquieting predictions do not seem
to work out-Preston Republican.
