Wild and woody Montana has elect
ed a woman to congress, in the person
of Miss jeanette Rankin. She will be
the first woman ever selected for this
important position. She is said to be
a very attractive and intelligent young
woman, Republican in politics, an ar
dent suffragette, and received her ed
ucation at the University of Mime
sofa. Just now the question has come
up as to how Miss Rankin will be des-
ignated in congress, whether as a "he"
or "she." This minor detail will very
likely not worry the new congress-
manette to any great extent.

The splendid vote given Harold
Knutson in Democratic old Stearns
was surprise to Harold's friends.
The Herald fully expected that Mr..
Donohue would have a majority of
1000, but the official returns place
his majority of 1O2 over all candidates
and a plurality of 395 over Harold
Knutson.

The Republicans will control the
next congress which convenes in De-

hut sufficient to block any disastrous
legislation proposed by the President

In the selection Of Eric Thornton
as private secretary, Gov. Burn
quist has named a gentleman who
will be universally popular. He has
ability in abundance; is affable and
unassuming; square as men grow
and will be tower of strength to the
administration.

The Herald editor has always con-
tended that Secretary of State julius
A. Schmahl was one of the very
strongest men before the people of
Minnesota. The recent election
proves this contention as his majority
will be fully as heavy as that of Gov.
Burnquist and possibly more.

Now that election is out of the
way the teeth of the Adamson law
are beginning to show. This measure
was forced through congress by Pres
ident Wilson just before the closinH
of the last session, and was supposed
to benefit a small percentage of the
railway employees of the country. a
number of the different railway cor
porations affected have asked the
court to enjoin against the enforce
ment of the law until its constitution
atty has been established. On the
other hand the railroad men insist
that unless the law is effective Jan.
1 they will walk out. The public will
be trimmed either way.

A Personal WORD

Early in August, at the solicitation
of number of friends prominent In
state politics, the Herald editor be-
came a passive candidate for chief
clerk of the house at the incoming
session of the Minnesota legislature.
The country press Of Minnesota
treated our candidacy very kindly and
considerable voluntary support came
from other directions.
The result of the recent election
gave US more than fighting chance
for the position. However, the idea
of becoming a candidate for chief
clerk did not originate in our own
noodle, and, as we gave the question
more and more consideration, the po-
sition became less and less attractive.
After mature deliberation, we have
arrived at the conclusion that, even
if successful, the position would not
warrant the expenditure necessary to
make a campaign and open headquar-
tiers in St. Paul.
We believe that those associated
with us in the making of the Herald
are as competent and trustworthy as
can be found; nevertheless, we feel
that the best interests of the Herald
will be served by US staying on the
job at home.
We have had our fling with polit-
zeal job in St. Paul and arrived at the
conclusion long since that, as mon
ey-making proposition for US, they
are a delusion and a snare. And, last
of all, Sank Centre is the best place
on earth in which to live.
We are appreciative Of the cordial
offers of support from the newspaper
men of Minnesota, legislators and
state officials, but we are not can
didate for chief clerk or any other
legislative position.-Asa M. Wallace.

Now that election is over every one
of the old members of the House have
become imbued with the idea that
they have speakership qualifications.
Sundays Minneapolis Tribune en-
deavored to give the impression that
the speakership question was all set
tied and that 1. w. Nolan was the
man of the hour. Mr.. Nolan is an
able man, but the Herald is OF the
opinion that the country will have
something to say. Southern Mime
sofa has two gentlemen, in Represen-
tative Southwick or Wells aid Rep
resentative Parker of Spring Valley,
amply qualified for this place. The
Herald does not pose as prophet,
but at the present time Mr.. Parker is
the best bet for the place.

when the automobile merchant, or

yours while the going was good, and
get out. But what a difference just a
few years make.
Today the motorcar industry is the
fifth largest in the United States and
still growing. In every community
you will find the man who sells auto
mobiles to be one of the leading indi-
viduals of his city. He is liberal
minded citizen, willing to do anything
or go to any trouble IL il will be of
benefit to the community at large.

II was only during the summer and
fall months of the year, while the
weather was pleasant, that he could
hope to sell cars. The minute the
weather began to get bad he pulled in
his horns and was willing to sit
around and wait until the balmy days
of spring rolled around. He sold car
only when some one really came IN
and demanded it. Today. though, he Is
a year-round merchant He under
stands that his expenses run on all
the time, and that it makes no differ

over or not. Now he is the man who
bosses the calendar and makes each
day pay its proportionate share or the

DRIVES CADILLAC HE
BOUGHT 10 YEARS AGO
Minnesota Farmer Says Car Was Sec
ond-Handed When He Acquired
Il In 1905.

Hardly a week passes that the mail
does not bring to the Cadillac Motor
Car Company letter telling of the re-
markable service given by one of its
earlier models. Owners write that their
cars have been driven from 100000 to
10000 miles. Many times they tell Of
particularly hard service performed. and
almost invariably they state that the cars
are still In good condition.
No exception to this rule is Peter
Schoen, a farmer, who writes the COM
pany from Jeffers, MINI, Ito let you
know that am a satisfied owner Of one
Of your model A, one-cyiinder, four
passenger tonneau cars" Mr.. Srhoen
goes on to say that he bought the car
second-ha in 1905, and that alter II
had ben run for ten years. on solid tires,
over country roads, Il Is as good as when
he bought it. This model was built m
1903, so that the car had seen two years
of service prior to the time II came INTO
Mr.. Schoen's possession.
Mr.. Schoen says he has no doubt that
the engine Is as good now as when It
was built. 'I have taken good care Of
the machine" he says. Nevertheless, a
car that Is able tn stand up as many
years as this one has. must have quality
and stability. The original paint Is on
the car, and in fairly good condition at
that. 1 have the machine on the farm
and make many trips to town. The
people crowd around II and wonder that
an old make Of car Is still able to skim
the roads. OF course, 1 explain that It
is a Cadillac, and lhose knowing some
thing about cars know the difference. I
am proud of the Did machine, since 1t
gives me such excellent service"
