JUDGEP.H.S TOLRERG

In another column dispatch from
Hinckley tells Of the sudden death of
Judge P. H. Stolberg of the 10Th judi
cial district. The writer has known
Judge Stolberg for. more than 30
years, ever since he was receiver of
the Taylor Falls land office, and al
ways found. him to be an honorable
straight forward man. As land Off
GER his sympathies were always with
the homesteaders and he would invari-
ably give them the benefit of every
honest doubt.
We have vivid recollection Of the
case of two Princeton boys, who had
taken homesteads in the Mile Laos
reservation, for whom Judge Keith
and the writer acted as attorneys.
Register Stanard held the claims for
cancellation. Receiver Stolberg held
that the boys had fully complied with
the land law requirements and were
entitled to their homesteads. Land
Commissioner Sparks sustained the
registers decision. On an appeal Sec
rotary of the Interior Lamar reversed
Sparks and the boys were awarded
their homesteads.
AS land officer and Las district Judge,
Judge Stolberg was ever just and fear
less. He has now gone to the court of
last resort, and the judgement of. the
Great Judge will be, "Well done, thou
good and faithful servant, enter thou
into the joy of thy Lord.'' go.

With this issue the Union

We think it will be generally con-
coded that the Union has contributed
it's share towards the upbuilding of
this section of the state. Il; g,s,.
While the Union covers the local
field thoroughly it also aims to be
something more than mere local
newspaper, and we believe it enjoys a
statewide reputation.
1t is our ambition to make the Union
second to no country newspaper in the
state. We ask our friends to assist
Us in realizing that: ambition.

THERE'S no chance of a resolution
for constitutional amendment pro-
viding for equal suffrage being acted
on at this session, according to Chair

committee. Women's work against

The Hokah Chief adds to the gloom

good English to use the phrase,

cause words such as hot and cold are
.adverbs and can be modified only by
other adverbs, while the word damned
is an adjective and can:modify '.only

A wave of crime is sweeping over
the country, and it is particularly no.

it is due to European criminals being

Mr.. ,Chryst is Having Trouble.

IF. the farmers of Minnesota can Sc
cure better prices for their hogs and
cattle by building a co-operativepack-
ing house in st. Paul or elsewhere
God speed them in their efforts. But
we repeat the advice we gave a couple
of weeks ago, before investing in the
stock of any concern, investigate
thoroughly.
A Special dispatch from Wausau,
Wis, under date Of Dec..17, to the st.
Paul Dispatch would indicate that
President Chryst, the gentleman who
spoke at Milaca short time ago, is
having trouble in his own state.
The dispatch in part reads: can
other fight over the proposed St. Paul
packing plant is almost certain to de-
velop. Wisconsin and Minnesota each
want their own state officers, and not
national, to handle these problems Of
local cooperative packing houses. AL
though Ira J. Chryst is from Wiscon-
sin, his own state is opposing him in
this matter, and as a result Of this
row all business is being transacted
slowly.
Chryst's libel suit against the Min.
5nesota State society for statements
made in the packing house affair is
only one phase of the serious split in
the association. Chryst tried for a
compromise and peace by aiding the
Minnesota delegations fight for rep.
resentation.' y

REGRET KELLoGG's DECISION.

HEGREl hELLOCIG'S DEClSlON.s
That live wire 'The County Chair
man." in one of his readable letters
to the country press takes it for
granted that Frank B. Kellogg will
refuse to reconsider his determine
ton not to be candidate for United
States senator, and also adds: "Quite
a few would liked to have cast their
votes for him.
'Tom Noswal," the astute st. Paul
correspondent Of the Mortified News,
has this to say on the same subject:
''The real men of Minnesota are
expressing regret that Frank B. Kel-
logg slammed the lid so tightly. on all
the agitation and discussion of his
prospective candidacy for place in
the United States senate. The pros
pect of choice between Moses E..
Clapp and Adolph Olson Eberhart,
they say, is so dreary that it sickens.
Neither man in a fairly long political
life has stood for anything creative
and positive. Neither has. been iden-
titled with any great constructive leg
islation, any big movement though
having opportunities, the one for many
years in the United States senate, and
the other for many years in the COVER
nor's chair, far greater than the men
who have achieved a name in the
state. What could not a man of Kel-
logg's ability have accomplished in
either place? What has either Clapp
or Eberhart accomplished? They will
have long enough records when they
get before the people, never fear.
There will be thousands of words
rolled out in orotund tones in behalf
of both, many other thousands in
miles of newspapers and pamphlets
to the everlasting WEAKNESS of the al
ready weary voter, but what did they
do after all, asks the real fellow, who
finally is firing of persifage. There
is no gertrude that Mr.. Kellogg could
defeat either one, but there are
thousands who would welcome the op-
portunity to give him the compliment
of their personal VOTE" ~. --

THE POOR LUMBER BARONS!


In pure unadulterated gall Robert
bowman of New Orleans, president
of the National Lumber Manufacture
ers' association, is not lacking. He is
reported in the Minneapolis Tribune
as saying:
1--WE want to find out the powers of
the Federal Trade commission and
how they may act to afford relief when
the fact Of the necessity for relief is
established. We complain of ruinous,
destructive and even brutal competi-
ton which extends over a continent.
Even the federal government is in the
lumber business and in certain parts
Of the West this is becoming serious
factor"
We feel sorry for the poor lumber
barons.
If the government does not come ia
their rescue some of them may not be
able to- afford more than one automo-
bile for each member Of their families
That would be awful hard on our old
friend, Charles A. Smith. On his ac-
count we hope the relief demanded will
be granted without delay
"Ruinous, destructive and brutal
competition" should not be tolerated
Preparedness, and everything else
should take back seat until congress
grants the relief demanded by the
lumber barons!

That award applies specifically to the
manner in which our company has
dealt with its employees, its customers
and the public. and for the methods it
has developed in producing, trans
porting. refining and selling petro-
leum.
another award in which we feel a
deep sense of qualification, is the gold
medal for our conservation methods
in the oil fields. This company has al
ways bent every effort toward elm
mating waste in the production of pc
troleum and has initiated and placed
in operation many devices and meth
DDS tending toward conservation and
efficient operation of oil wells"
