It Couldn't Be Printed.

We were asked the other day why we
didn't write an editorial upon the
weather: There are a bundle of per-
fectly good reasons for not doing so.
In the first place, the weather has been
the safest subject for conversation since
Noah made the first blue-prints of his
Ark. And the best thing on earth gets
hackneyed in time.
Then, again, the brand of weather we
have had handed to us all summer is more
conducive to the somber elegiac strains
Of Gray than to the optimistic notes that
characterize the Elizabethan Age. We
have enuf of the somber to think about
and we would rather dwell on something
cheerful II we have to knock, we prefer
70 use our little hammer where there is
some chance of improving things.
Finally, we are not at all sure we
sould improve things bit. At any rate,
we are not responsible for the weather.
So don't use that as an excuse for dis
continuing the paper.

And The End Is Not Yet.

The long scrap between Henderson
and Gaylord is still far from settled in
spite of the fact that the Gaylord forces
Won at the recent election.
The Henderson crowd have raised the
rumpus from it's sepulcher again by de-
elaring that their opponents nigged,
were off-side, interfered with the runner,
stacked the cards, used cold deck, and
n other ways too numerous to mention
iuggled with their sovereign right Of
franchise and monkeyed with the brass
works Of the sacred ballot-box.
In short, they are going to contest the
election and expect to throw each and
every sort of legal monkey-wrench in
the gears Of happy victors. The exact
proportions of ICON" and test to be
used in reviving the rumpus has not yet
been determined. Well, we all hate to
admit we are licked. Henderson is
simply acting in a remarkably human
way. To an outsider, however, it would
seem that Gaylord won decisively ano
shat any attempt on the part OF the ole
county seat to fight lost issue savors O
a deliberate attempt to keep alive ole
animosities that may best be forgotten a
quickly as possible.

A Melon-Cuttlng IN Store.

When the United States Government
gave millions of acres of land to the
Pacific railroads, it gave these corpora
lions power to levy tribute to an ever
increasing extent upon all who might
wish to put these lands to some use. A
recent circular issued by Won Frantzius
& Co., Chicago investment brokers,
shrows some light on the great proper
dons to which this predatory power has
grown. Says the circular:
Your attention is called to the extern
sive oil land holdings of Southern Pacific
and it's subsidiaries amounting to some
st1ing like 100000 acres. The suits
as filed by the government originally to
secover 2,273,000 acres have simmered
down to an acreage involving $1,000, in
Guiding $500 acres on which suits were
fled on the claim OF fraud. The original
suits were based upon the so-called
mineral reservation clause, which pro-
vided that mineral bearing lands would
not be patented by railroad. The
government has placed valuation on
these lands far in excess Of the capitaliza-
lion Of the company. Some day the
holder of Southern Pacific stock is bound

MARY PHAGAN SPEAKS

You care a lot about me, you men .of
Georgia, now that am dead.
You have spent thousands of dollars
trying to learn who mutilated my body.
You have filled the columns of your
newspapers with the story of my wrong.
You have broken into a prison and
murdered a man, that I might be
avenged.
But why did you not care for me
when I was alive?
I was a child, but you shut me out
OF the daylight.
You held me within four walls watch
ing a machine that crashed thru the air.
Endlessly watching knife as it cut
a piece of wood i
Noise fills the place noise, dust
and the smell of oil.
I wish some of the thousands OF
dollars that you spent on the trial
might have kept me in school.
A real school-the kind you build
tor the rich.
I worked thru the hot summer days.
When you were bossing the girls,
or shooting birds.
Or lounging in doorways, cursing the
niger;
And you never paid me enough to
buy pretty dress.
You sometimes, spoke coarsely to
me when I went to and from my work;
Yes, you did, and I had to pretend
I liked it.
Why did you despise me living and
yet love me so now?
I think know. It is like the preacher
told me about Christ:
People hated him when he was alive.
But when he was dead they killed
man after man for his sake.

BACK TO THE FRONT, DOCTOR

Some time ago DR.. H. w. Coulter,
formerly physician at Mountain Lake,
later a convict in Minneapolis, and still
later Canadian citizen, after which he
became surgeon for the Allies, decided
that the work was just trife too hard
for his independent nature, and took
French leave. He managed to make his
getaway and took passage for the
United States.
During last week, officers of the Allies
discovered the doctor in Minneapolis
and informed him that life on the firing
line would be safer for him than court
martial on the charge of desertion. It
required only few minutes for the
doctor to pack his belongings for the
return to Europe, that he might use
his skill in nursing back to health the
wounded defenders of France and Eng
land.
DR.. Coulter had been with the Allies
only few months when he deserted, and
it is quite likely that his love of morphine
was the cause. His craving for that
drug ruined his practice at Mountain
Lake and landed him in the work house
at Minneapolis. Because of his desire
to rid himself of the habit, he joined the
Allies, where he would be unable to get
drugs. His desire for the dope may
howe oo,1eod his docortiOn
DR.. Coulter has fought in the Boer war
and he knows the game quite thoroughly.
He has survived after sustaining terrible
injuries, and under normal conditions
likes to face the enemy. For that reason
his recent desertion must be laid to his
drug habits Mountain Lake VSeaU.

KNOW THY NEIGHBOR WELL.

Another method Of getting acquainted
with our neighbors who live at some
little distance has been developed by the
United Education Publicity Bureau of
of Minneapolis, moving picture con-
Germ which is in the business of securing
community films which may be exchang-
ed between cities, thus enabling each
community to see how it's neighbors go
about solving civic problems. A repre-
sentative of the Bureau was in town
nearly all last week working up interest
among the business people Of the city
to a point where they would subscribe
$500 each for the purpose of having their
places Of business displayed in films.
The advertising bug is buzzing rather
more loudly in New Ulm OF late and the
town is beginning to sit up and take
notice.
The plan as outlined to merchants
and others by Mr.. Adams, the represen-
tative of the picture company, is to Sc
cure films of all the important industries
in each city, to add them to street scenes.
pictures of buildings, and work in some
special stunts, such as run by the fire
company, military parade, or something
that is typical of each place. The mer-
chants who desire to advertise Their
places in this fashion are charged $500
for the picture and then the films are
run when completed at local play
house in each city. After being run the
films become the property of the city
the Civic organizations can make use Of
them in whatever fashion they think
best for the advertising of the city
Communities then have an opportunity
to exchange films, thus giving the citi.
zens of one place chance to learn how
things are done elswhere.
1t is expected that if the plan is put
into operation in New Ulm as in all like
lihood it will be, the pictures will be taker
the evening of October 18th which falls
on Saturday. This will be an excellent
time to secure view of New Ulm people
manners and customs as everybody ant

ments will give special drills and other
displays to impress upon peaple that II
such expensive apparatus is needed to
fight fires it must be a very destructive
and dangerous enemy eff the public and
private good.
In an interview with Mr.. Engef,
Chief of the New Ulm Fire Departments,
he said that he might try to arrange for
such a program in New Ulm shortly and
that the Fire Department Parade might
be given at the time the moving pictures
of the city are to be taken This would
bring the matter repeatedly before the
public and would be an excellent idea.
The following is taken from a circular
which is being sent out to urge fire de-
partments all over the country TO- start
campaign of education among the
people before cold weather sets In:
Like sinister echo of the awful
tragedy which stirred the whole country

children lost their lives by fire on August

now suffering from an epidemic Of fires
fatal to children and babies. 1t is we'll
