INTELLIGENT DAlRYMEN,

We are pleased to publish the pho
tos of Robert Thompson's fine herd of
Holsteins on our first page, and also
the record given by Mr.. McNelly in
an adjoining column. Mr.. Thompson
and his neighbors are doing the coun-
ty service as we'll as themselves in
their practical demonstrations of what
can be accomplished in animal hus-
bandry by placing a top-notcher at
the head of their herd and consist
emily building their grades to the ex-
clusion of those that don't pay. Good
blood and the intelligent use of the
milk test is the salvation of the dairy
man.

MINNESOTA'S FIRST CITIZEN.

Minnesota does not forget that it
was John Lind who was the presi-
dents personal representative in
Mexico, that it was John Lind whose
investigation Of Mexican conditions
and whose reports to the president
formed the basis of the successful and
humane policy that has worked out
practically without bloodshed the
achievement for humanity and peace
which was President Wilson's aim.
And it is John Lind who puts in a
phrase the character of the Huerta
absolutism which has finally broken
down under the pressure of Ameri-
can displeasure, when he calls it
truly "a regime of privilege, loot and
murder"
To destroy such a regime without
war, against the pressure and abuse
of bitter opposition of privilege
and craftsmanship at home, is a great
achievement; and much of the credit
is shared with President Wilson by
Minnesota's first citizen, John Lind.
Duluth Herald.
When the Mexican trouble is quiet
ed the part that Minnesota's John Lind
played in securing complete under
standing will no doubt come to light.
Dollar diplomats and greedy Imperial
lists cannot or will not understand
President Wilson's policy but the lib
erty-loving people of all nations will
rejoice with the common people of
this country that moral victory was
won, greater than if done by the
mailed fist of the nation. The watch
ing and waiting" policy will be found
to have been a "dO-something-w worth
while" policy. In this doing our
state had the honor Of furnishing
leading character, and those who have
been misled to ridicule will soon rea-
lie their error. Those who have
thoughtlessly regarded the occupa-
ton of Mexicos leading port and that
only as an inconsistent act will find
that it will prove a potent factor in
the recognition of the humane policy
of President Wilson in the final peace
terms. Idealistic in his democracy,
yet firm in not allowing passing CON-
plications to swerve him from the
main purpose, and taking nothing for
granted, John Lind was eminently the
proper man to represent the President
in Mexico. Minnesota is proud of
her John Lind.

farm. Sec. Forsberg replied that the
Board expected that at this time they
might sell the school land at a price
Of $3.50. The purchase of the same
at $1,000 three years ago provoked
much criticism as being an exorbitant
price to pay. The purpose of pur-
chasing the land originally was to
qualify as well as possible in order to
be one of the first thirty schools to
come in under the new law granting
state aid for this purpose. Now it
would be perfectly safe to sell the
land and rent required patch of land.
AS for the cost of the Agricultural,
Domestic Science, and Manual Train
ing departments, the special state aid
and the two mill tax from associated
districts paid that. The total cost of
the agricultural department outside of
salaries, including keep of horse, text
books and supplies, was about $40.
Gov. A." E. Rice expressed himself
as not favoring the sale of the school
land. He thought that with the right
kind of man at the head of the depart
ment it might be made credit to the
district.
H. T. Olson wanted to know if chill
dren who live in parts Of the city be
longing to other school districts
should not be forced to pay tuition or
be required to come into the district.
Secretary Forsberg replied that the
few cases existing of this kind are
from districts which are contributing
a two mill tax to our districts. The law
however, requires that for all pupils
attending the industrial and agricul-
tural departments from districts out
side of the associated districts their
home districts pay their tuition, and
such tuition has been collected by
the superintendent.
The matter of improving the Lin
coin building was then taken up and
discussed. Senator Odell moved that
the sense of the meeting would justify
any necessary expenditure for plumb
ing and other improvements required
for this building. At the suggestion
of Gov. Rice this was broadened to
include an addition to the building if
found practicable. This motion was
carried without dissenting vote. DR..
Johnson then expressed himself, as be-
ing satisfied that the people would be
found willing to do anything "fair
and reasonable" but that the erection
of new 100000 building asked for
last fall was most preposterous re-
quest.
Two years ago bonds for the same
kind Of proposal as was carried Sat-
urday were voted down because it was
said that the old building could not
be remodelled into anything but
fire trap and the only solution was
new building.
Alderman o. A. Norman asked per-
mission to use the Lincoln school
house for election purposes, as there
is no suitable polling place in the
ward, the city to pay the district the
usual rental. It was brought out that
this would mean the dismissal of
school at general and city elections.
It was thought that registration days
one of the halls could be used. It
was pointed out that the usual smoke
fest would have to be cut out, if this
practical demonstration of local civics
was not to be demoralizing to the
children in the other rooms. The pro-
position was adopted.
At the closing Of the polls after be-
ing open an hour, the votes were
counted and the result announced as
follows:

But up from the scarlet mire of
scandal, of good names erased and
futures darkened, rises a heroic fig
ure-the faithful young bride.
She, won't believe it!
She married Edwards when the
shame of an alleged violation of the
white slave law was upon him. Shar-
ing the stigma of a crime that the
world views with uplifted eyebrows
she made his fight her fight. She

thought differently. They would
prosecute.
That is why Mrs. Edwards has filed
afhdavits with the federal officials
with the request that the indictment
be set aside.
The case dates back to 1910, when
Edwards as a single man came to
Chicago to close some deals with the
Mogg Coal Co. There he met Miss
Cox, a stenographer for Mogg. After
repeated refusals she finally took
lunch with, Edwards.

faced the accusing .glances of the
people Of st. Paul with a fortitude
that was inspiring.
Instead of avoiding the women of
the city she went among them. She
appeared before the women's clubs
and told them what she believed to be
the truth about her husband. They
argued with her-at first.
They were convinced partially.

case.
