auLaARIA,s REASONS.

BERLIN, Oct. 8. (via sayville.)-
Bulgaria has joined the teutonic al
lies because only thus can all Bull
garian peoples be united, according to
a manifesto issued by the Sofian gov
ernment, published today in the Frank
furter Zeituns.
For her aid, continues the n,anifes-
to, Bulgaria has Germany's and Aus.
trIa's promise of parts of Serbia, gis-
ing the Buigarians a frontier with
Hungary, an absolute necessity, it is
declared, to Bulgarian Independence.
The allies, pledges, says the state
!ment, were disbeiieved. Russia 10
denounced by the manifesto ,as seek
Ing to win ConstantInople and tho
|DardaneIIes, Great Britain as aiming
at destruction Of German competition,
France as hoping for Aisace-Lorrane
and the other allied powers as plan
ming to "rob foreign countries" while
Germany and Austria are upheld as
defenders Of property and peaceful
progress.
Serbia 10 declared euIgaria's worst
enemy and accused OF expressing
i"pureiy Bulgarian Macedonia with un-
heard Of barbarism."
The teutonic allies, adds the mani
festo, are victorious on all fronts and
II would be suicidal for Bulgaria not
to be found on the German and Aus
trIan aide.

HELLO, SAM!

what is the matter. You look so
angry this morning?"
"Well, I took this thing to the
Quick Repairing Blacksmith Shop,
and they fixed it while was waiting.
They told me it wouldn't take long to
take it in, slap it together and slap it
out, and they fixed it quick enough,
but would sooner leave it day or
so and get a good job of it. The
first time I went around the field, it
broke. Where the other shops are
using rivets, they seem to be using
broken punches just so they fill the
hole with something. I would sooner
pay a little more and wait a little
longer and have it done right"
"Well, you must remember you did
not go to the right shop. There is
another one just block further west.
l commenced to 60 there and 1 am
very much pleased with their work
and I find that they do not handle
anything but the very highest grade
of materials, and their workmanship
can not be beaten. When you come
there, you will see they are busy
which proves that they are doing the
right thing"
"The proprietor told me that his
business gained Is per cent during the
year of 1914, and 1915 starts out away
ahead of that again. He has the light
est and finest shop between Minneap-
oils and Breckenridge, and it is the
best equipped with modern, up-to-date
tools and stock and he certainly knows
how to use them too, believe me: He
was for some time in a black cell
Of shop, but now he feels right at
home He also says thanks to every
body for bringing their work to him
and he is in hopes that they will keep
on doing the same, and he will then
need no man on the street to rustic

Dying For Her Cause.

The papers have been so full of the
case of Mrs. C. G.. Higbee, who died
at the Capitol a few moments after
making strong plea for separate
reformatory for women, that it need
not be mentioned here. But how long
it does take disfranchised class to
make an impression on the law max
ers!
For twenty-three years Mrs. Hig-
bee had been urging this much need
ed reform in our prison system. Her
tragic death was shock to all and
the legislature took action Immediate
ly.
Suppose the women had not been
denied the ballot all these years, does
any one believe it would have taken
so long to get this result?
Will this tragic death help some
people to see the justice of equal suf-
frage?

The second bill taxes all homesteads
land and buildings-at half the rate

The second bill taxes all homesteads
land and buildings-at half the rate
as other land.
l am not so sure about the merits
Of this bill. Suppose man rents his
homestead and moves out, what then |?
Must the assessor find this out and
increase his taxes?
And what about the poor man who
owns no home and lives in a fiat or
rented house? Must he pay more tax
es than the one who is able to own a
homestead? For it is the tenant VINO
pays the taxes, not the owner, in the
end.
Why not tax all land on the same
basis, no matter how it is used or
whether used at all; and then cut all
buildings as low as possible.
I don't think buildings should be
taxed at all; but am willing to get to
that ideal state step by step, but as
fast as we can.
Well, the idea is good-let's boost
it,

COUNTY OPTION PETITIONS.

Blanks for obtaining the 866 signers
necessary to secure county election
on the saloon license question have
been mailed to all parts of the county.
We hope there will be a prompt re-
sponse.
Everywhere that there is gathering
of voters, socially, during the coming
week or two let some one who is
qualified to take legal acknowledge
ments circulate one Of these lists and
get as many signers as possible, and
the requisite number will be quickly
secured.
All petitions will be bound into a
book before being presented to the
County Auditor, and will become a
historic volume, in which it will al
ways remain an honor to have ones
signature recorded. The petitions will
go into the book into the order they
are received.
The County Auditor is required to
call q special election within not less
than 40 days or more than so days at
ter the petition is filed. 1t is expected
that this election may be held in first
part Of June.
All those who sign will have the
privilege if they desire to attend a
conference to be called for the pur-
pose Of appointing a committee and
making the necessary arrangements
for the campaign for county prohibi-
ton which will follow.
Now that we have secured the
rights we have contended for so many
years, let us go forward without hesi-
tation and finish up the issue in our
own county in manner that will do
credit to our traditions.
From the letters coming from diff
ferent parts of the county, we judge
that the matter Of holding this elec-
ton will be pushed with enthusiasm.
One hustling citizen from Spicer
writes:
81 will help to circulate a petition,
or can get all the signers necessary"
We hope this good hustler will get
busy, but is would be too much to ex-
pect him to get all the signers.
A resident of Lake Andrew writes:
There is probably not county in
Minnesota which can produce such a
showing in temperance and prohibition
work as Kandiyohi County can. Now
let it take the lead in pushing it to
completion. l am yours for speedy
action"
