ARTHUR BUTLER NEAR DEATH
Sank Centre Young Man Has Narrow
Escape From Drowning at
Osakis Sunday.

Art Butler of Sauk Centre, 16-year-
old son of George Butler, we'll known
barber of that city, narrowly escaped
drowning last Sunday afternoon when
he was taken with cramps while div
ing from a boat in deep water some
distance from shore, says the Osakis
Review. Young Butler was accom-
panied by Francis Joyce, the young
man employed in the Smith barber
shop In this city, John Phelps and F.
S. Mcconnell. The young men had
been out once and made several dives
from the boat, and at Buffers re-
quest they ruwed to shore where they
rested for a time and then decided
to try it again. The second time
out all four boys dove from the boat
at once. and pushed the boat some dis
tsnce towards shore When Butler
came up he was seen to be in distress
and soon sank a second time. Joyce
managed to get hold of him and the
others struck out for the boat which
the wind was now taking rapidly to-
ward shore. Fortunately Joyce was
able to get hold Of one oar and this
helped him to keep Butler afloat,
though the drowning man gave him q
hard tussel and he had eli he could
do to keep from going under. Butler

REFRESHING CANDOR

Thomas P. Dwyer, the "Boiler
Maker" the Democratic candidate for
governor, recently announced MS
platform at a meeting OF his col
leagues. Here it is:
Immediate repeal of the county op-
@tien law and the substitution ol
"esHome Rule"
Passage of an anti-treating law.
Strict enforcement Of the law
against profanity.
The right of every man to eat and
drink what he desires and where ne
desires.
Suffrage for males only.
Absolute Free Trade.
The employment in the public SER
vice only of the same political faltn
as the party controlling the state.
Thomas P. is Democrat OF the
old school, glorying in his bourbon
ism.
While we do not subscribe to sim
ole plank in his platform it at least
has the merit of brevity and concise
ness.
His candor is refreshing, nj:
straight forwardness commendaDl'
and his courage sublime.
His course is in striking contrast t.
those candidates that dare not taxi
a stand for or against anything, VIII
are always spreading their sails t.
catch the breezes of popular favor.
Mr.. Dwyer cannot win, but if every
body who thinks the same way n
does on these questions give him thel
suffrage he will get quite vote-fo
a Democrat.

PARTISANSHIP

1t is very amusing to anyone haV
ing any knowledge of the practlca
workings of legislation, the manlpu
lsting of political parties or the con
duct of administration to hear anna
teurs bewail the evils of partlsanshlp
Partisanship in politics is part
nership, nothing more, nothing less
and differs in no way from a business
partnership and is conducted along
fhe same principles. A political part!
can no more be maintained without
partisanship than business can DC
maintained without men going into
partnership and cooperating anC
working together.
In business partnerships the part
ners hold together, act together ano
work together in all matters affecting
the common business, but on all out
side matters they think, talk and act
as they please, so long as such think
ing, talking and acting does not affect
the common business of the firm dis
astrously.
No honorable members of part
nership, however, would think OF TAX
ing Independent action that would be
detrimental to the common interest OF
the firm, nor would he be allowed to
do so if he were so inclined.
If partner is loyal to his partner
ship, if he has any business favor to
bestow, or any profitable business to
disburse, his own firm gets it and it
does not go to opposing and compet-
ing business houses.
1t is the same, or at least it should
be the same, in political party. Each
member has the undisputed right to
hold and proclaim any opinion he may
see fit, so long as it does not conflict
with the common opinion and common
success of the party of which he is a
member, but if he holds and proclaims
opinions that conflict with the COM
mon opinion of the party and the
adoption of which would endanger
party success, common honesty de-
mands that he sever his connection
with that party and join one whose
common opinion comedies with his
own.
Partners in business would not en-
ploy a person who was a member of
a competing partnership and who's
every business interest was antagon-
istic to their own.
If a public official has any patron
age to bestow, or any favors at his
disposal, it is not only his privilege,
but it is his duty to bestow it on mem
bers of his own party and if he can
not find members of his own party
honest enough and capable enough to
fill the positions he must belong to a
mighty poor party and one that is
not safe to entrust with the control
of the government.
Partnership Il, business and parts
anship in politics is but the recogni-
tion of a great natural law that has
existed since the dawn of creation,
that impells all animal life to look af-
ter and care for its own.

BA BA BLACK SHEEP

When Humanity first began to
emerge from savagery and seek other
means of subsistence than the natural
products of the forest and stream one
of the first occupations they engaged
in was the rearing of flocks of sheep.
This was logical. The initial cost OF
flock of sheep is comparatively
small; they can be managed and
cared for by women and children and
they increase more rapidly than any
other domestic animal, except swine.
They mature quickly, are hardy, re-
sist climatic changes well, require but
little shelter, need less provender than
other stock. Experiment has demon
strated that it costs less to produce
a pound of mutton than anyother food
flesh, and it is the most healthy and
nutritious of all protein foods.
The sheep is one of the few dual
revenue producers found on the farm,
both it's fleece and flesh yielding pro-
fitable returns.
The sheep producing regions of the
agricultural world are among the
most prosperous, although many of
them are unfit for anything else.
Stearns and adjoining counties are
ideally fitted for sheep raising; for
age is abundant, drainage is good and
the climatic conditions for their
health and propagation cannot be
beaten.
They are of great benefit to the
land, are natural weed eradicators, the
big wheat farmers of the West are
willing to pay bonus to the sheepmen
of Montana and Wyoming to have
them Craze their flocks on their fer
tile fields after the grain harvest.
There is enough grain, weeds and
grasses left on the fields of Steans
county after every harvest to fatten
ten thousand sheep, that annually
goes to waste.
The supply of mutton in this re-
gion is never equal to the demand
and thousands of pounds are shipped
in every year and much of the time
it is unattainable in the local markets.
There is an awakening interest in
this branch of farming in this vicin-
ity, and our wide-awake farmers
should utilize the Stearns County Fair
to stimulate this interest. The sheep
department of the Fair is in the
hands of an enthusiast. Every sheep
breeder in this vicinity should make
it point to put his best animals on
exhibition; even if he does not secure
a premium, it will stimulate interest.
Sheep raisers, come to the Fair.
Show your faith in this branch of
most profitable farming by bringing
in your animals and talk sheep to the
farmers who congregate here. Such
action will mean a future crop of dol
lars to the farmers of Sauk valley.
