In a comment last week we noted
that st. Cloud with it's present form
of government contributed toward the
gaiety of nations. And, the Journal
Press chideth us, and sayeth it is a
satisfaction to St. Cloud folks to know
that they have better government
than ours. They should not be so sell
fish. The J. P. further sayeth that
with the rapid development of St.
Cloud, Little Falls is fortunate to be
under the shadow of it's spreading
wings. Maybe Alvah knoweth what he
sayeth, but it appeareth to us that in
stances are very rare where the Of
ficials Of a city have been more nagged
at and jumped on, for one thing and
another, than have those of St. Cloud
by the journal Press. We didn It
think we needed a diagram, as we
gathered our idea pretty much from
the editorial columns of above noted
st. Cloud paper.

DIR. DUBOIS IS FOR DAVIS

Cheney in Minneapolis journal: DR..
J. A. Du Bots, of Sank Centre, one of
the best known democrats of the state,
while in Minneapolis on his way to
Chicago gave the friends of Alfred J.
Davis, candidate for senator, his in.
dorsement. "Mr. Davis has not been
conspicuous hitherto in the public
gatherings Of the party as a politi-
cian,' said DR.. Du Bots. "That is
nothing against him. His thorough de-
mocracy is well known and Endorsed
by honest and prominent workers in
the party. On the other hand, the po-
litical history OF Daniel W: Lawler is
very well known, and this fact will re-
suit in the approval of Mr.. Davis on
the ballot cast by very many demo-
Gratis at the coming primaries"

Washington, June 8.-The outcome
Of the Administrations efforts to keep
the United States out of war and at
the same time maintain the national

Cyrus NJ. King stands for the best
in constructive progressive politics. He
knows the life Of the pioneer, what il
means to subdue the wilderness, and
that is one reason why he has been so
ardent an advocate Of good roads, and
has done so much to make them prac-
teal possibility. The democratic par
ty in many ways has fallen upon
chaotic conditions. The fair fields
and meadows have been abandon
ed and are choked with weeds and
thorns. It needs a courageous and
able man to clear away the noxious
weeds, to make clean paths, and Cyrus
M. King can do it. A vote to make
him the democratic standard bearer
is a vote to help purify the democratic
party and restore to decent and re-
spectacle standing.

Death Of British Leader Stimulates
neutrality-suspicious. In Demand for
lntsrnment Of Enemy Aliens.

London. June S.-The choice of q
successor to Lord Kitchener as secre-
tary for war is touched on only lightly
by the London morning papers. A
news agency dispatch says:
There is reason to believe that an
offer has already been conveyed to
Field Marshal Viscoant French, who
had long conference with Premier
Asquith.
Premier Asquith temporarily has
taken personal charge OF the war Of
fee.
A marked stimulus to recruiting on
the last day under the voluntary group
system and general demand for the
tntenment of all enemy aliens in;
Great Britain, regardless of age, sex
or naturalization, are the Immediate
results of the death of Lord Kitchener;
There is possibility of POLITICAL
struggle in the background over the
appointment Of his successor. This
lies in the fact that some believe the
post should 60 to a civilian, while
others are for the appointment of al
military man, preferably Sir William
Robertson, chief of staff. He could
pot serve as secretary of state for war
without being raised to the peerage

however, to which all may 90, without
question Of creed or condition, is a.
city institution in a different sense, a

buys coal for all the state institutions,
announces. that the coal for next sea-
son will cost at least $4,000 more.
The states coal bill will be about
100000. The increase is largely due
to raise in prices by the dock operat-
ors on coal shipped over the Great
Lakes. An association, practically a
trust, has been formed by these oper
ators at the head of the lakes, and as
a result not only the state, but con-
sumers all over the northern part OF
the state, are going TO be mulched,
raises being as high in some cases as
80 cents ton. We have an antitrust
law in this state, and the Attorney
Generals office would perform a great
service to the public by going after
