CANDIDATIAL QUALIFICATIONS

The Minnesota campaign of 1916,
may be said to be fairly under way.
Several candidates for Governor have
announced their willingness to sacri-
flee their individual interests to serve
the state in that capacity and in many
of the Congressional distr It's there
are a number of men wnv have slgnl-
fed their willingness to surrender a
lucrative private business to represent
their district in the House of Repre-
sentatives.
1t is a curious fact that when man
becomes a candidate for an official po-
sition he always sacrifices individual
interests or gives up a wonderfully
paying business. Just why, is some
thing of a mystery. In nine cases OUT
of ten no one was aware that they
possessed momentous personal inter-
ests or lucrative private bus
mess until they so informed the pub
lie, and if they have, no one compelled
them to give up these things and nine
citizens out of ten, probably great
er percentage, would just as soon they
attend to their own affairs as to have
them manage the affairs of state.
The bunkiest of all political bunk IS
for a man to inform the voters how
much he has sacrificed to become
candidate.
Another feature of politics which
would be amusing, if it were not for
the fact that it is serious is the reason
that many of the supporters of the
various candidates give for the sup
port of their favorites.
1t is urged that some of the guber-
material candidates are orators. Ora
tory is an asset, especially in legls-
lative position. So valuable is 1t that
no man unless he possesses oratorical
gifts, or rather the ability to think on
his feet, and be able to state his prop
ositions in a clear concise manner to
his legislative colleagues, ought not to
offer himself as a candidate for leg
islative position or ought to be sup
ported Dy Cne peoplo.
The Governorship is different
matter; except for exhibition purpos-
es only, a governor has no more use
for oratory and speech-making abll-
ity than an automobile has for whip
socket. What is needed in governor
is nerve enough and business
qualifications sufficient to conduct the
great corporation, known as the State
of Minnesota, along the same lines
that a private business is conducted.
To cut off thousand and one useless
appendages and see that every ap-
pointee earns his salary; to minimize
ornamentation and magnify utility.
Some curious reasons have been ad-
vanced in favor of candidates for con-
gress. One or more are urging they
ought to be selected because they have
doomed Minnesota and have brought
numerous settlers into Minnesota.
They did not perform this action be-
cause they loved Minnesota, but be-
cause they made money by the tran,
saction. Besides if they were elected
to congress they would have to quit
the real estate business and could
bring in no more people.
The only qualification that voters
should consider in candidate is fit
ness for the position to which the can
didate aspires.

den that the sprouting antlers on his
young moose are "antlers" in the

LOO Miles Per Minute.

With a view to finding out how quickly
message could be sent round the world.
the editor of the New York Times re-
Gently carried out an ingenious test
He wrote a message OF nine words, and
dispatched 1t eastward. The message
completely girdled the northern hem
sisphere. travelling through Honolulu to
Manila. thence to Honskong, Singapore
and Bombay. from which point il sped
onward to Suez, thence to Gibraltar. to-
ward Fayal. and finally rearrived at New
York. a distance OF ISIS miles.
No attempt was made to clear the line
for its transmission in the hope of estab-
fishing a record. but the message was
rent under ordinary commercial condi-
tons. The message PASSED through six
teen relay stations. and sixteen and a
half minutes after it left New York it
re-entered that city. thus travelling at
nm average speed of LOO miles per min
ute.
This. however. is not record. The
quickest time in which a message has
beer dispatched round the world was in
ce1eisrstion OF the opening of the Pacific
cable. when the globe was telegra phicalIy
encircled in nine and a half minutes. In
that case. however. the line was cleared
specially for the passage of the message.

Here are some suggestions for making
inexpensive soups:

1t very fine or run 1t through the vege-

If there is some scalloped tomato or

the soup pot. A cupful Of jscalloped to-

Cold cereal may also be added to give

Whenever there Is ham bone. SIM
mer 1t with split peas. or dried beans, a
little onion and perhaps a bit Of celery
for three or four hours. One ham bone
will flavor two or three quarts of this
soup. The second serving of 1t should
be kept very cold. and kept only over
one day.
