Cordelia in Walker Pilot: Editor
Chase Of the; Anoka Herald pleases to
be sarcastic when he says, "1t is hard
for a man to be perfectly at ease when
the choir is softly singing ooh Prom Use
Me- and his male friends in glad Ear
ments are gathered to grin at his an
tics. While the parson is attaching to
him female spending machine guar
anteed to out talk, out CAD and re-
duce him to abject WANT
Personally, We think that the choir
should sing $50 Long Mary" and that
the bride should be the one to wear
the conventional black, and if we re-
member right, the groom is ~iven his
chance to talk when the parson says,
"Speak now or forever hold your
peace, and if there is any impeachment
thereof, etc., and as for spending,
the sentence reads, "With all my
worldly goods I thee endow.' This

The house came near to a vote on
the submitting Of a prohibition amend
ment to the people in 1916 at the ses-
sion Tuesday. The resolution was in
troduced by Representatives Larimore
and Davis, both of whom had voted
against and strongly fought the coun-
ty option measure. Intense excitement
prevailed for a time as this movement
was entirely unlocked for, and the
proposition was finally put over until
next week for consideration. This
would seem to show a decided split
in the "wet" forces as number OF
others who led in the fight against the
county option measure, spoke in favor
OF the resolution. Is it band-wagon
movement Elle Or bluff, Or an attempt to
confuse matters7

Governor Hammond, true to his
pledge, On Monday signed the county
option bill and it now is a law Of the
state. After signing the act, the gov.
ernor gave out. short statement. re-
ported as follows:
II read the bill over, and it looked
like a very fair bill to me.
"Some question has been raised as
to how one or two provisions of the
law may work out. In dry counties
it prohibits the. sale or storage of H.
quor and the question arises whether
one, by keeping liquor in his own
house for his own use, would be violat-
ing the law. a. -
"But elsewhere it says that the law
is to; be construed literally, so I as,
sumesit win be construed not to have
any such meaning.
"The election features Of the law
seem fair and well drawn. A diffcu1.

finding Representatives Of both factions
to act as election judges as the law

Publishers Auxiliary: More, atten-
ton than has yet been. given to lit is
deserved by the psychology Of the peo-
pie who, having seen something in a
newspaper, usually an editorial article,
with which they strongly disagree, i'm
mediately write and mail an angry
letter announcing the firm intention to
take that paper no more.
The apparent purpose OF this action
assuming it to be carried OUTS to
punish the expression of the resented
opinions by withdrawing a fraction Of
the papers revenue, but underlying
that aim is probably desire, con-
scious or unconscious, to inspire fear
of other losses of the same kind and
so to coerce the paper by an appeal to
its material interests into reversal
Of it's policy and attitude on the Ques-
ton at issue.
Of course, such reversal for such a
reason, SAYS the New York Times in a
recent editorial, would be dishonest
as we'll as cowardly, but he who pro-
claims the stopping Of his subscription
doesn t think of that. And how hard
to explain is it that anybody should
be without the willingness, or even
without the eagerness, to hear what
can be said against his own views or
conclusions! Either his confidence in
his own judgment is weak or he pre-
fcrs to hold to notions already accept
ed, regardless of whether they are
right or wrong.
Ike reader who will not take a pa
per with all the utterances Of which
he cannot agree does not want news
paper at all, or to know what can be
known about the subjects he considers
important or interesting wants a
partisan organ that will keep him in a
comfortable twilight. Papers of that
kind were once numerous, but they are
scarce, nowadays, and they are fewer
every year.

HOW TO KEEP A CALF FROM
HAVING HORNS

The following is taken from the cur
rent issue Of Farm and Fireside:
"Horns were useful to cattle when
they had to fight for their existence,
but domestic cattle do not need them.
Like a man carrying weapon, the
creature with horns is likely to be up
pish and contentious. Hence, dehorn.
ing should be the universal rule, unless
the cattle are intended for show pur-
poses. The time to operate is when the
calf is young, and the thing to use is
caustic potash. Moisten the end Of a
stick Of the caustic and rub it on the
'button'' which has the intention of
becoming horn. Clip off the hair
first. Care should be taken not to put
on so much caustic as to cause it to flow
off the button upon the skin. If used
properly-and the operation requires
no great skill-no horn will Develop

The bill providing for the submit
ting to the people of an initiative and
referendum amendment to the consti-
tuition was passed by the house
Wednesday by vote of 100 to IL.
Representative Vasaly voted for the
bill and Representative Bouck against
it. An amendment along the same
lines was voted down at the last gen.
cral election. If it had become a law,
any bill passed by the present legisla-
ture, could have been, on proper petit
ton, held imperative unless it
was approved by q popular vote Of
the citizens of the state.

IF YOU CAN'T BE GREAT, HERE

David Grayson, writing his story en-

more precious than the thought that I
have been much trusted with deep

women. Next to living great things

Bills have been introduced in the
legislature, which if passed will re-
move the limitation, 800 acres, one
can purchase Of state land. Actual
settlers would hardly want more than
800 acres. The fathers of the bill
claim that the present law delays de-
velopment in the counties Of Beltrami
and Koochiching. We understand that
these lands have vast forests Of spruce
and cedar. What is to stop the big
users Of this class Of timber from
buying up all these lands and use the
timber in their own good time7 It
would seem that actual development
would be much slower under the pro-
posed law than at present.

John Wetzel on Wednesday resigned
as a member of the board Of education
Of Little Falls. Mr.. Wetzel has proved
himself most efficient member. Dur

kind which are without remuneration,
take much Of ones time, they are ac-

city, and in this respect, Mr.. Wetzel
has we'll fulfilled his part.

How SOME COUNTIES GOT THEIR
t': =. NAMES

Brainerd Dispatch: The counties Of
Minnesota were named largely for fam
GUS Americans, particularly those iden-
tilted with the history and develop
ment Of the northwest. A number Of
early governors and legislators of the
state are included in this roll Of honor
Many of the most beautiful and ex-
pressive county names are of Indian
orr in. Others were left by the early
French explorers Of the region.
The origin and significance Of these
county names has been traced by the
United States geological survey, with
the assistance OF history students with
in the state.
Grow Wing county was named from
Grow Wing river, which was called
by the Indians kayaugewaguan signi-
flying "crow's feather.''
Alrkin owes its name to Samuel
Aiken or Aitken, an old trapper and
furdealer.
Carlton county took its name from
Reuben B. Carlton, one Of the first set
tiers and proprietors Of Fond du Lac
at the head Of navigation on the ST..
Louis river.
Stearns county took it's name from
Charles r. Stearns, a member Of the
state legislature.

liam Morrison, an early Scotch fur
trader, and the first white man to visit
the sources of the Mississippi river.

LaFollette's Weekly: t'That there
should be some business disturbance
following reduction of the high tariff
duties was inevitable. That much of
the depression was artificial cannot be
disputed. Does any rational human
being doubt that the tariff interests
would fight to the last ditch to main:
tain their unlawful profits! They had
many times warned the public that it
would be unsafe to interfere with
them. It was an open boast of stand

ests would make the American people
pay dearly for their folly in. the elec-
ton Of 1912; that when a few million
laborers had been laid off, and the
balance had suffered a cut in their
wages; that when the banks reduced
the credit line and the: people were
made to feel the pinch, they would be
eager to bring Aldrich and Cannon
back and beg them to make the wheels
90 round.'
"The interests could afford to take
a small present loss on a manufactured
depression to restore their privileges
of monopoly and huge profits for an
other long high. tariff period.

twenty tons Of hay by fire Monday
night. The hay was in stacks. The

have started it, as some were seen

Alexandria Post-News: Withholding
criticism Of the president and his adj
ministration in a situation like the
present is rather a fine expression of
loyalty. AS president Of our country,
Mr.. Wilson has had grave responsible
tiles as to our foreign relationships
thrust upon him, and we, as American
citizens, should give him our moral
support. Expressions from the press
Of the country indicate that he has
that support in a marked degree. Am
orleans wish to remain neutral. not
only to avoid the horrors of warfare
but to hold the respect of the warning
nations so that eventually this country
may act as peacemaker in restoring
normal conditions and securing ces-
sation Of strife. The president IS work
ing with but one purpose in view, the
avoidance Of all entanglements, and
in that he commands the confidence
Of the nation.

He knew when to smile and when to sigh.
He learned how to use twinkling eye,
And then he was cut out by fool.
A fool who had never studied art,
Who merely obeyed a thoughtless heart
And when it came to a chance to WOO
Did the foolish things it told him to!

':f:AUITING'' OF EARTH's CRUST

'tAULT1NG'' OF EARTH'S CRUST
It is well-known fact that the ma
jority Of the severest earthquakes are
produced by such movements and read
justments Of the outer shell Of the
earth. The process, known to geolo-
gists as faulting, is as follows: Ow-
ing to various subterranean causes, the
solid crust Of the earth is put under
stress. The stresses keep growing
greater until finally they reach the
breaking point Of the rocks. They
yield suddenly and move over one an
other along the line Of fracture until
the strain is relieved. This breaking
of the rocks, sometimes along lines
hundreds Of miles in length, and the
movement of the broken parts over
one another, set up Jars or vibrations
which, travelling outward in all direc-
lions through the rocks, constitute an
earthquake. The severity of the shock
at any point on the earth s surface de-
ponds upon the character and extent
Of the break, the amount Of movement,
and the distance Of the point from
the place Of origin of the disturbance.
Earthquakes also occur frequently
in connection with volcanic eruptions,
but these are likely to be more local
in character and, on the whole, less
severe than those due to faulting.-

italian Earthquake,' by John L. Rich,
