It is said that numbering will be car
ried on in the northern part OF tn
state on much larger scale than TO
number Of years. The wages vii
also range much higher. And this I'm
der democratic administration.
MARYLAND elected a democratic gov
ernor to replace republican, an(
Massachusetts did the opposite, while
Kentucky reelected democrat. IL
the congressional elections tc I'LL va
cancies the republicans made gair
OF one.
Ohio turned down prohibition
amendment to it's constitution by 49,,
600. The city of Cincinnati alone
went 10000 majority against the
measure. This is a much better show
ing than year ago, however, the
amendment being defeated at that
time by over $4,000.
The election Tues,a7- showed a
further falling off of the progressive
party vote. It also showed that they
have not all gone back to their old
love, but that they have in large num-
bers affiliated with the democratic
party, Or that they have largely in
creased the Independent vote of the
country.
Herman Ridder, editor of the New
York Staats-Zeitung, the leading Ger
man paper Of the United States, pass
ed away the first of the week. Mr..
Ridder was pubiic-spirited citizen
and active in politics, although never
H.
mentioned for vice president on the
democratic ticket in 1908. He held the
position Of treasurer OF the National
Democratic committee.

The new constitution voted on in
New York state Tuesday was defeated
by over 100000. Elihu Root, who is
being pushed forward for the republic
can presidential nomination by the
standpatters, is credited with being
the moving spirit in the constitutional
convention which adopted the meas
ure, and there is now more or less spec
ulation as to the effect the defeat of
The measure will have on his candi-
dacy.
The Brainerd Brewing company
which was closed by the government
due to the fact that it was in territory
included in the Indian treaty Of 1855,
has been granted temporary injunc-
ton, the matter to come up Monday.
The brewery's contention is that beer
is not an ardent spirit and that it was
unknown at the time Of the making of
the treaty. It is also contended that
the territory can no longer be con-
sidered as Indian territory as the pop
ulation is white by such large ratio.
Following in the wake of New Jer-
sey, three more states, New York,
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts,, vot-
ed against the amendment for equal
suffra &c. The cause, especially in Penn
sylvania, showed a splendid vote, but it
evident!; will pc some time before
women's suffrage makes much real
progress in the Eastern states. The
Western states promise a better field.
These election results will no doubt
stimulate among a considerable num-
Der of the measures advocates the ef
fort to have congress deal directly
with the question as national propo-
sition.
Lake City Leader: It has been no.
ticed this fall that with all the bad
weather reported that the county fairs
have all been success, and that the
attendance has been good. County
fairs in Minnesota have attained a
place that is wonderful. They have
developed more than 100 per cent in
efficiency in the past five years, and
they are the one thing that brings the
farm community and the city COM
IN IL
and with each other.
Preston Times: Time works some
peculiar and important changes. For
several wears DR.. Cook has been dis
credited and kicked from pillar to post
because of his claims to Arctic dis
coveries. while Peary mas been bask-
ing in the sunlight Of public approval.
Now comes the explorer Steffanson,
greater than either Of them, and actu-
ally confirms some Of the Cook claims.
The Times has never lost faith in Dr.
Cook. We have always believed that
that military snob, Peary, stole some
of the honors which belonged to the
doctor. and it is but simple Justice
that they are now restored to him by
a man big enough to do so and whose
word cannot be doubted.
Pine River Sentinel-Blaze: Speaking
of Newspaper Week. October 1916
when about 500 of the papers Of the
state made special efforts to boost the
state and their own home localities in
particular, it is noticeable that but TO,
the efforts of the newspaper men there
would have been nothing doing. In
\ looking over the manv booster editions
y that came to the exchange table Of the
II Sentinel-Blaze the spirit of indiffer
Il ence was highly manifest, and it is
questionable whether ten per cent o.
. the newspapers made EXPENSES out Of
III; the extra effort. In every community
HI there seems to be an undulv large per
