Now that the petitions have been

Of eur reads to two things. First;
no men are all good or all bad, but all

Have you ever noticed the less q

statement was found during the late

The story is going the rounds that
Daniel w. Lawler will shortly an
nounce his candidacy for United
States senator. Mr.. Lawler reminds
us of Ad Wolgast or Battling Nelson.
He is always willing to try to come
back, but hasn't one chance in a
thousand Mr.. Lawler is an able
man, but he is out of touch with a
large share of the states democracy.
and his past record is not in accord
with public sentiment today as it
manifests itself in the choice of pub
lie servants.-Virginia Enterprise.
The Twin City political reporters
are having the time of their lives
parading has-beens. lame ducks and
other oldstime political hacks as can
didates for governor and United
States senator in 1916, but the pub
lie generally are taking no particular
interest in the matter at the present
time. What a happy solution Of this
proposition it would be should the
people exercise their power and 60
outside the political organizations
and select candidates for these i'm
portant positions regardless of a pull
with the organizations. There are
thousands Of capable middle-aged
men in Minnesota who would make
good officials in either of these pc.
sitions, and we imagine they would
stand better show of succeeding
than any of these old-timers. Prac-
tically that was done last fall and
the man in the executive chair as q
consequence will prove hard man
to GUST, anyway, and it cannot be
done with a political hack.-Elk

Our Slogan:

That the district judges of Min
hesota are underpaid, not overpaid
as was the ridiculous assertion of a
legislator during the last session, is
striking1y evidenced in the report
that Governor Hammond offered a
judgeship to four Of the leading at.
torneys Of Winona, and all refused
because they could not afford to DROP
their practice for the salary paid. A
similar honor was refused during
Eberhart's administration by a St.
Cloud lawyer Tor the same reason.

Washington, May 19.-Methods. of
organizing community egg circles are
being suggested by the agricultural
department in special bulletins on
the subject. Through the forma-
ton of such cooperative societies,
it is pointed out, the following re-
suits are more easily obtained than
is possible through individual ef-
forts:
The selection of pure breeds that
lay more and larger eggs, provision
for better care, food and shelter and
dry, vermin-proof nests; combining
males except in breeding season; col
Letting eggs frequently, especially in
hot or muggy weather; storing eggs
in dry, clean, cool places; using
small and dirty eggs at home; mar
keting frequently, with protection at
all times from the heat; selling for
cash on a basis of size and quality,
Gloss off" instead of case count, using
attractive packages and combining of
shipments for -economy's sake.
Marketing by parcel post is also
a part of the egg circle system sug-
gested, as is the method of market
ing through a neighborhood cream
cry. While at first,~ it is pointed out,
the number of eggs marketed may
not warrant a central station, with
a manager to inspect, grade and mar
ket the whole product, such a devel-
opment should be aimed at.

JOHN BURKE, UNCLE sAMS
 TREASURER, IS s6 TODAY,

Guardian of Uncle San's buIging cash-box is the distinguished occupa- ton. of John Burke, of North Dakota who is the twenty-fourth treasurer of born hfty-six years ago today, Feb
 25, 1859, in Keokuk county, Iowa, and. as may be suspected from his name, his father was Irish. So, too, was his mother. MT. Burke studied law at the State University of Iowa. and practiced in Des Moines for a. couple of years before he removed in 1888 to North Dakota He hung out his shingle in Devils Lake, which is not such a bad place as it sounds, and soon became a leading legal light He served in the state legislature for some years, and in 1908 became gov ernor of his devoted state. As MT. Burke, like his father before him, Twas overwhelmingly and concIusive- ly Democratic in his political affilia- tions, and North Dakota. was decided ly Republican, his opponents looked upon his candidacy as something Of a joke-unti1 the votes were count ed. Then it was found that Burke had been elected, although the re- rnainder of the Democratic ticket had been defeated. Twice thereafter he ran for governor, and both times ocratic national convention met in Baltimore in 1912 Burke was na- tionaI figure, and he still shudders whenever he thinks of what a narrow escape he had from being nominated for the vice-presidency. On April first, 1913, 4he was commissioned United States treasurer, in which po- sition he gets $s, 1000 year for look ing after millions and millions and millions. Treasurer Burke not long ago assumed the role of prophet, and predicted that the United States was qr,,z
 perfty in its history. stFsor years to come, MT. Burke declared recently, 'stne United States is to be the one great nation on earth. financially
 agricu1tura1ly and industriallyl' The European holocaust, he believes, will force the United States to the fore front and keep it there flor years, perhaps for centuries, maybe for ever,'' and make it .sthe richest and happiest country in the world

KING FERDINAND.

Ferdinand, Czar of Bulgaria, will be dfty-four years old tomorrow, but there will be no celebrating in the royal palace at Sofia, for the Balkan Czar is just now a man of many trou- bles. He occupies the most difficult position imaginable for his country is still on the verge of famine as a. result of the war with Turkey and the subsequent disastrous conflict with Serbia and Greece, which made Bulgaria a pariah among nations. The Czar is of German blood, the son of Prince Augustus of Saxe-Co- burg and Gotha, but his mother was a daughter of King Louis Philippe of France, and he is also related to the royal families of Belgium, England and Portugal. His present wife is a, German, and his first spouse, the mother of his two sons and two daughters. was daughter of Duke Robert of Parma Bulgaria is en- tire1y surrounded by nations toward which its people entertain 5cordf al hatred. Turkey is Bu1gaTia's heredi- tary enemy, and it would be difficult to induce the Bu1gars to fight on the side of their ancient foes. On the other hand, Bulgarians have a quite natural detestation for Serbia, Greece and Roumania, as a, result of the conflict which turned those na- tions against Bulgaria, after her sue cessfu1 campaign against Turkey. Russia. was long considered the pa tron and protector Of Bulgaria. but since the war with Serbia. and Greece King Ferdinand has manifested great cordiality toward Austria, the sworn foe of Russia Many other conflict ng personal and national interests enter into the relations of Ferdinand with the warning powers, and his position has become a most did1cult one It is also a position of power k that only the fear of Bulgaria has prevented Greece and RoluInania. from entering the war on the side the allies.

Won't Disturb StrafOrd Ave.
 Bridge Now


 eff possible we will build a new present structure open to all kinds of traffic until the new bridge is completed,' said J. D. Greiner of Baltimore one of the engineers who has been employed by the Stratford avenue bridge commission to build the new span over the Pequonnock river. MT. Greinerl and his partner, Howard Whitman, were inspecting the approaches to the bridge yester- day preliminary to drawing sketches of what they think will be the proper structure.
 The engineers expect that their work of inspection and sketchfng will take several days and it will at least a week before they have a tangible plan prepared. Engineer ,Griener favors retaining the present Stratford avenue structure in place until a new bridge is built because of the exces- siye cost of a temporary structure and the inconvenience which will be suffered by vel1icular traffic now us- ing the bridge.
 William I. Allen, Walter B. LasI1ar and Secretary Blackham of the bridge commission with Mayor Wilson met the engineers in the city hall Tuesday night. The 'sY'' plan of approach in a. straight line west from Stratford avenue, and from Nichols streets, was shown the engineers and they thought it might be worked out al- though they will recommend nothing until they have gone over the ground.

SAN MARTIN.

The founder Of the republics of Ar gentfna and Chile was Joe de San Martin, who was born in what is now the Argentina republic 137 years ago today. San Martin began his career as a soldier in the service of Spain, and fought so ga1Iant1y in Europe that he attained the rank of lieu tenant-colonel. In 1911 he returned to his native land and headed the patri6t forces in insurrection against Spain. For two years he drilled his army and then began the perilous march across the Andes, where he met and defeated the roya1ist forces and freed Chile. He was offered the supreme dictatorship of Chile, but refused it, and marched north to aid in the rebellion in Peru. He captur- ed and occupied Lima and Callao, and was proclaimed supreme pro- tector of Peru. Bolivar then appear ed on the scene and demanded the leadership, and San Martin, to escape

HALF-CASTES OF INDIA
 WOULD GO INTO BATTLE

London, Feb. 25: :The petition of the Eurasians, or half-casttes of In- dia. to raise some regiments of their own has caused the war office consi- derable uneasiness because of the delicate social questions in volved.
 Eurasians are in the unfortunate position of being neither whites nor natives They are not admitted into white society as a rule. and are dis liked or daspfsed by the natives of unnixed percentage. At the same time they feel themselves superior to the natives because of their white blood
 The whites and Eurasians could get aleng very we'll together at the front, but the imperial authorities fear the Indian regiments would re- sent the formation of a distinctly Eurasian soldiery, and would be- sides refuse to associate with them in arms.
 The War Office is now trying to put the damper on the project with out offending the loyalty and the sen abilities of an important element of the Indian population

THANKFUL TO PRINCESS
 FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS

London, Feb. 25-The father of a member of the British expediaonary force has lodged a protest with the government against having to pay a duty of six pence on one Of Princess Mary's Christmas gifts to the. sol diers, which was sent home by the Eson.
 Princess Mary sent a little box of comforts and de1icacies to every man in uniform on foreign soil. Many of the recepients sent their boxes home as souvenirs to be treasured in after years. Although the boxes went out with the army supplies, those sent back were considered by the post of flee as exports from foreign lands, and consequently the tobacco con- tained in them was subjected to a heavy customs tax. According to the officials, the six pence must be paid inasnueh as the Princess failed to export her gifts in bond.
 One of the Christmas boxes sent to the front was packed by the Prin- cess Mary herself, who put in a slip of paper asking the recipient to send an acknowledgment to Buckingham Palace. The finder did so in these words:
 Thank you. Received by me, 97so Pte Fitzgerald, B. Company Royal Munster Fusiliers.'' .''

BRITISH PUBLIC READ
 ONLY STORIES OF WAR

London, Feb. 25 Confessions of well known literary men that they have lost all apetite for modern works during the war and turn back to other times. has led to an inyesti- gation by some of the papers as to what the general public now reads. It has been learned from the libraries that there has been a general falling off in the reading Of modern fiction. What part of it the public likes bears directly on the war, such as eA1I for a Scrap Of Paper.'' Hp1ings tales have been reprinted and take well with the civilians, although the Kip Hngesque soldier has never been pop ualr in the British army. The books most sought, however, are war books and those dealing with the principal characters of the war, particularly the Kaiser

BELGIAN REFUGEES
 MAKING UNIFORMS

London. Feb. 25-Hundreds of Belgian refugees, both men and wo- men, are finding employment in the wooden mills at HuddersfieId and neighboring towns, where thousands of yards of khaki for uniforms. are turned out daily.
 Every important mill in the Hud- dersfie1d district is working night and day, and the industry has been speeded up until it can go no fast CT. While London sleeps in almost complete darkness, the Huddersfi cid valley at night is lighted more bril- HantIy than in peace times, scores of the huge mills throwing out from their thousands of windows a glare which iIlumtnates the entire country side.
