PERIODIC MEDICAL EXAMS.

Speaking of general and compulsory
medical examination for every ybody at
regular periods with the ostensible OBJ
ject Of discovering disease in its incipient
stages, the New York Evening Post re-
marks that such an examination might
kill more than it would cure.
The doctors argue that very large
proportion of humanity suffers with
symptoms, that prove that they are on
the sure road to disease of the heart,
lungs, kidneys, or blood vessels, but
which taken at early stages could be
cured. This is probably true, but there
are good many things to be considered
before we 60 into the periodical. public
enforced, medical examination business.
One is that as yet. even learned doctors
sometimes make mistakes. It is com.
mon occurrence for quite siok people to
recover, so to speak. in spite of their
doctors. Then we should also have a
new class of public officials whose powers
might be. tremendous. Now a man
chooses his own doctor. then he would
have no choice, and furthur. to carry
the matter out logically, the patient
would necessarily have to begin course
of medicine Or submit to surgical opera
Ition. i&
But Of course, the greatest objection

The candidate that does not get there
next Wednesday will have the satisfac.
tion of knowing that he won't have to
run again this year-and there's more
satisfaction in that than you can realize
unless you have ever tried making per-
sonal canvas for votes. Personal solici-
tation for political support is only re-
moved degree or two above actual
begging,-at least that is about the SEN
sation that comes to the candidate him
self. 1t gets away with mans self-re-
spect pretty badly. While there is moth
ing really dlsreputable about it, perhaps
in some respects just the opposite, yet it
is far from pleasant job to go around
and "see' each individual voter. Send
the visiting candidate away feeling as
good as you can, for the poor fellow has
troubles of his own just now.

HIGH PRICES ANE LOW PRICES

Their are two distinct and opposing
principles advocated as arguments in
favor of the reduction of duties on i'm
ported goods; one, that reduction of
duties will make goods cheaper to the
consumer, and the other that the reduc-
tion on goods will therefore make better
times.
The times of real prosperity are times
of high prices, whether of labor or COM
modities. One condition brings the
other inevitably.
The times when everybody is hard up,
is the time when goods and human labor
are cheap. The two conditions are nat.
urally, and logically co-incident.
"The high price of living" has been a
political text of the demagogue for
several years. The "high price of liv.
ing" simply means high prices for labor
and for the producer-and prosperity.
That may not be desirable state of
affairs for some people but the laborer
and the farmer and the other producers
prefer high prices rather than lower.
OF coure, the man who gcts three
dollars day for labor, would like to
buy his beef at ten cents a pound, and
his flour at two dollars hundred and,
vice versa, the farmer woulu like beef to
sell at ten cents a pound on foot, get a
dollar and half for his wheat, and pay
farm labor about 'steen dollars month.
But one condition brings the other.
Drop the price of living and the price of
labor will drop. Drop the price of labor
and the price of food and other products
will drop, if for no other reason, because
the laborer has not the money with
which to buy.
1t might be argued that the man who
gets a dollar day and buys his -four
for dollar hundred weight, gets the
same result as if he got three dollars a
day and paid three dollars hundred for
flour; but there IS this great difference,
in the latter case he will have little or no
difficulty in getting his three dollars a
day, because labor will be in demand,
while in the other casehe will have many
days whenh gets no dollar, because not
employed.

THE STATE TICKET

This week we ad to our column of
candidates the names of the offices of
the state. In this case we will say
something about some of them rather as
matter of information than as argu-
ments.
First we may say, there has been a
ticket nominated by faction of so called
republicans, whose platform has but one
or two distinct features, resubmission
and anti-woman suffrage. This ticket
is headed by j. II. Wishek as candidate
for governor. While, personally, we are
not in favor of suffrage, we think MIR.
Wishek's platform in itself is one of the
best arguments for that issue, as it
shows that they are afraid of women s
votes on that subject. Practically all
the support that MIR. Wishek and his
companions will get in this county will
be such votes as are marked for them by
mistake, hence these explanations.
The only real gubernatorial candidates
are Messrs Hanna and Burdick. Mr..
Burdick has an excellent reputation as a
good man, but most of us think that
this is not his time because Gov. Hanna
by good work in his first term is entitled
to a second term.
For Lieut.. Governor there are five
candidates on the republican ticket. all
strangers to our people except John H.
Frame of Grafton, and if we follow the
general rule we will vote for our near
nelghbor rather than the mas from far
off. This same Is true in the list for
treasurer, Tom Tharaldson of Walsh
county who has been deputy treasurer
under Mr.. Olson. wants to be principal
and he is neighbor.
For Commissioner of Agriculture, two
of the candidates are pretty we'll known.
MIR. Flint has been state dairyman, de-
partment of the Agricultural department
and tie other is Will E. Holbein. The
latter has been for some years, secretary
Of the Press Association and has proven
himself pusher and rustler, which
characteristics are just what are needed
in that particular Office.
Tho other Offices and candidates on
the state ticket, are mostly strangers,
and to great extent their nomination
will be . matter Of luck, st least g far
