NOT THAT KIND OF 81 MAN.

Frank Kellogg is -shoeing these
days. He should start the fireworks
shortly. One thing that Frank can
lay claim to is that he has a tsbarrel'
and you know the kind of barrel that
Frank has always draws ''flies.'' Look
what it done for him in the primary!
|-Chaska Herald. .... .,..-.
The above fling at Mr.. Kellogg is
unworthy of the usually fair minded
editor of the Herald. Mr.. Kellogg is
not gum shoeing" AS far as his
time will permit he is complying with
requests to deliver short talks at pub
lie functions. But the invitations are
SO numerous that he is obliged to de-
cline more of them than he accepts.
The campaign conducted for Mr..
Kellogg at the primary election was
strictly in accordance with law,
and was one Of the cleanest ever
conducted in behalf Of a candidate fol-
public office in this state. The writer
was one of two that had general
charge of Mr.. Kellogg's campaign and
knows whereof he writes.

SUCCESS TO ALL OF THEM

There has been great deal of rot
published and considerable cheap talk
INDUCED in over the designation of the
so-called Jefferson Highway. AS far
as the Union is concerned the decision
Of Mr.. J. D. Clarkson is satisfactory.
If the eastern route had been
designated we should have propounded
a few pertinent questions to Manager
Clarkson before advising a compliance
with the conditions he requires. AS
it is, we have no interes, in the "con-
ditions.' Let the other fellows do the
propounding and paying. 1t is mat
ter that concerns us not.
There will be no effort made, we
hope, either at the Detroit meeting or
elsewhere, to induce Mr.. Clarkson to
alter his decision. Let it stand. And.
in all sincerity, we wish our friends
on the so-called central route success
in their undertaking. And damned
be he who would place any obstacle,
however slight, in the way of the sue
cessful completion of the jefferson
Highway.
But we would beg leave to remind
our friends on the central route that
we fellows who are interested in the
Northern Minnesota Scenic Highway
are not going to get off the earth;
we are going to put forth every effort
to make the Scenic Highway from
Minneapolis to the Canadian boundary,
one of the best constructed roads in
the state of Minnesota, one that will
be Of real benefit to the farmers and
a joy to the tourists and pleasure
seekers.
There is no occasion for any
ebullition of temper on the part of
the partisans Of the Jefferson or any
other highway. The more good roads
we get in Minnesota the better. Moth
ing is gained by ridiculing or belittling
ones neighbors.

Make It Worth While.

Life, at the longest, is short. We
are here today, and tomorrow we are
gone. Life is a fleeing, intangible
thing. No one knows how long he may
possess it. No one knows at what
moment the dread summons may
come. Knowing and realizing this
much, then, doesn't it rather seem a
good plan to make the most out of life
while we are still here? Wouldn't it
be much better for all of us to Danish
malice, greed, avarice, jealousy,
hatred and kindred things and cult
vate the finer qualities? Friends are
worth more than dollars. There are,
in fact, many more desirable things
than great wealth. AS we journey
through life, let us endeavor to make
it more on the order of a pleasure ex-
cursion, finding time to do the things
worth while, in so far as our capacity
permits us to do them, and banishing
the sordid and narrow, the cheap and
nasty, the tinseled and trivial.-Win-
nebago City Enterprise.

BOTH SIDES"

In choosing representatives to the
legislature the people should be care
full to select those who are the very
best all-around men. With some OF
our voters the views of the candidates
on the liquor question, both pro and
con, are considered the only qualifca-
tions for a legislator. There are
cranks both ways, some will not vote
for a man unless he is an advocate
of county option, no matter how well
qualified he otherwise may be. and
there are cranks who will not vote
for man unless he is against county
option, no matter how we'll qualified
he otherwise may be-.
We have reason to believe that Can
didate Carmichael of this county is
opposed to county option, and that
ty option. Now, without saying one
any sane man believe for one mo-
ment that they would not make good
legislators Should the liquor ques-
ton enter into every transaction that
comes up? And by this we mean both
sides.-Lakeville Leader.
The above is good common sense.
There have been too many members
Of recent legislatures elected on the
temperance issue. A man might be g
horse thief, a wife heater or sheep
stealer, but it mattered not if he was
right on the liquor question-right
from the viewpoint Of the partisans
Of either side. " u:
The writer has the pleasure of know,
ing Mr.. Carmichael intimately. He Is
inclined to faver the "wets' all right,
but he is endowed with large stock
Of good common sense, and he was a
useful member Of the last legislature.
He was especially active in promoting
beneficial road legislation. On the
other hand Mr.. Roe, we believe, es>
pouses the cause Of the .sdrys,',' but

Well, he bought more goods and a little more

And he played that system with smile on

The customers focked to his two-by-four,
And soon he had to hustle for regular store.
Up the square where the people pass,
He gobbled up corner that was all plate

He fixed up the windows with the best that
he had,
And he told 'em all about it in a half-page ad.
He soon had 'em coming, and he never, never
quit,
And he wouldn't cut down on his ads. one jit.
Well, he's kept things humping in the town
ever since,
And everybody calls him the Merchant Prince.

Uncle Sam Helps Babies.

The brunt of any community's san
itary sins falls on the baby.
Baby didn't ask to come here, he
dies if he is fed poor milk, or if he is
kept in hot kitchen, or put to sleep
in an air tight bed room, or if he is
pestered with flies and mosquitoes.
Overcrowding, poverty, dirt, ignor-
ance and heat, alone or in combination,
start epidemics, like the present in
fantile paralysis scourge in New York,
and include in the death toll the ba-
bies of the careful and fortunate as
we'll as the helpless child Of slums.
Baby is not responsible for any of
the hard conditions he finds here. It
is his right to find plenty Of fresh air,
clean surroundings and decent food
waiting for him.
Uncle Sam recognizes the baby's
claim and has just printed bulletin
for mothers called ''The Summer Care
of Infants" Any mother can obtain
copy, free of charge, without even
the price of return postage stamp,
by writing to the United States Public
Health Service, Washington, D. C.

THE MOUNTAIN .LABORED. ETC

General j. A. o. Preus has returned
from the scene of the great forest
CONGREGATIONS in northern Minnesota,
where mosquito smudges have been
raging for weeks, and here is what he
reports, according to the Minneapolis
Journal of the Both u1t.:
"The fires were not as bad as /
expected. Although large areas of
state timber lands were burned over,
they are practically all cut or covered
by permits and the state stands to
lose but little.
Grain late Wednesday greatly sub
dued the fires which are now under
control. Danger at the village of Ray,
around which a ring was burned, is
past"
That other savior of the state, Gen.
eral William Thomas Cox, remains to
be heard from.
The outburst of the mosquito
smudges should be good for an addi-
tional 100000 appropriation by the
next legislature. - r.

The Italians have a story of Profess
sor Nicholas Machiavelli, who attained
some reputation in the city of Flor
ence as a writer on statecraft and
warfare. He kept the spectators stand
ing in the blistering sun for three
hours while he vainly tried to dispose
of a small body Of troops according to
certain theories Of drill which he had
laid down in a piece of writing. Finally
along came practical friend who
seized drum, and in three minutes
accomplished what Nicholas could not
accomplish in three hours. This fable
would seem to teach us that while it
is good thing to know what ought
to be done, it is even better to know
how to do it.-Collier's Weekly.
The above is a splendid illustration
of the difference between theory and
practice. 1t has been truly said that
thoughts are but dreams till their eff.
fects be tried.

It has been said that "dry' mu-
|nicipality means city or village with
grass-grown streets, owing to the fall
ing off of trade and the consequent
diminished travel. While, perhaps
this statement has never been taken
seriously it appears that aridity does
effect heritage. Since Moorhead went
dry the chief of police has been forced
to cut the weeds and grass on the jail
lawn. In former times prisoners were
plentiful, and they kept the premises
about their temporary abode in a trim
and neat condition.

Robert Carmichael, Dakota county
farmer, and member Of the legislature
had serious experience with his silo
that should be warning to all far
mers. / :##
It was wooden silo and contained
over 200 tons Of 1914 ensilage. July
3rd he discovered fire issuing from
the top, and upon investigation found
fire all through the center from top to
bottom. Sixty neighbors, working for
"a hours, helped him extinguish the
blaze, and it was only by wetting down
and throwing out the contents that the
fire was controlled.
cit was the most stubborn blaze
ever saw" said Mr.. Carmichael. A
man couldn't work in it but few min
utes before being overcome with fumes
and reel about as though drunk. In
fact, it was really burning alcohol.
Advise farmers not to keep ensilage
too long, nor put wet or green hay in
a barn. Spontaneous combustion is no
myth"
