Neat Compliment.

As the beautiful Duchess of Devon shire was one day stepping out of hei carriage an Irish dustman who wal standing by and was about to take his morning smoke caught glimpse o1 her countenance and exclaimed, Love and bless you, my lady, let me light my pipe in your eyes,
 The duchess, delighted with this com pliment, frequently afterward checked the adulation of her charms by saying ''Oh, after the dustman's compliment the others are insipid."

who employ the best advertising manager and make
the largest appropriation to advertising will
be the one who can corral the most votes And in the
name of democracy that sin is commtted The govern
men of the nation to publicity purchased in the
newspapers at Is cents an inch
The reader may wonder why the newspapers should
long they sell advertising for real money
WE'LL they care least the editor of this paper
because there is whole lot the newspaper pro-
fession than selling advertising. The highly priced
thing a newspaper editor has is the confidence of his
readers And however careful he to mark advertising
as Advertising how many readers know that advertising
reflect the editors opinion and how many know that edit
ora opinion absolutely for SALE not even to
friends? And how many of you readers remember when
you John Smiths picture in the paper whether it
the advertising columns where was paid for
in the and editorial columns where no money would
put it if the editor thought that John Smith was not
the right kind of to introduce to his readers.
Some newspapers refuse to sell political advertising
space-but that isn't fair either.
So far as see, the newspaper must still toler-
ate the '15cent statesman and sell him space and
the time continue the unpurchaseabe discussion of
men and in the editorial columns. The two
kinds of publicity continue side by side We there
fore ask readers to carefully distinguish between the
two. Advertising will always be plainly marked adver-
tisng but the only way any politician of poti
clans purchase the editorial opinion of The Tribune
will be to purchase all the right title and interest of the
present theren-a somewhat difficult performance
in view of the fact that said right title and interest
is not for SALE

Regarding County Agents

Mr.. Editor What about an Agri-
cultural Agent for Stevens County
This question is to be voted upon by
all the voters in Stevens county at the
spring election, Mar. 18th. Both
farmers and townspeople have a vote
upon this question, so let none over
look, or neglect to vote on it. 1t
concerns every citizen, landowners,
business men, laborers, women and
children. 1t is to the interest of
every one. The first thing to consider
is: Is there need for a county agent
The answer is to be found in his
duties. He should work for anything
that will be for the welfare of the
community. He should work hand in
hand with every effort put forth for
the building of the county. Not re-
garding faction or favoritism, but in
terested in good drainage, good
grains, and crops, good homes, good
farms, good stock, good men and wo-
men, boys and girls. He should be a
practical farmer, but more than a
farmer, he should be an allround, in
telligent business man, with practical
common sense, not a politician, but a
man alive and awake, of kindly spirit,

OUR 15-CENT STATESMEN

All the rules of good business prescribe courtesy
customers, but we beg to the customers who
hereinafter aluded att that there nothing whatsoever
personal intended
Minnesota has presidential preference law On every
hand is expressed dissatisfaction with it's contemporaries
and the of working it, and disappointment with
its provisions and surprise that law should have
been enacted.
Therefore our first query Where did the law come
from? Who demanded it and why? Well wager that not
five cent of the voters of Stevens county knew that
there such law, and that percent cared
thing about it, The truth that the law came into be-
ing the result of the activity of progressives
whose sole idea of progressveness is getting something
Isn't it about time that of the sensible pro-
gressves of the state display little backbone in stand
ing out against senseIes innovations the of
being called stand patters?' Minnesota delegates
elected by the convention system have failed to re-
fleet the opinion of the people of the state there
absolutely need of such a law.
Second query, Who's who, anyway? Formerly in
convention assembled the parties selected their strongest
land the Democrats still do)-selected them with
view to conserving the parys welfare giving representa-
ton to city and country to different factions
ests. Things were balanced up in way to satisfy the
greatest number
Now who will select and who will tell us what these
various candidates stand for? There's whole bevy to
select from, and aside from few prominent Names who
they?
And that's where the newspapers come in and in or
der to make themselves known to the these aspiring
statesmen buy space in the newspapers Is per
inch and advertise for votes By the judicous expend-
ture of 800 to 5000 coupled with getting name
the verest yro in politics may be elected to posi-
ton of trust delegate to the national convention with
out the voters knowing anything about his fitness the
trust.
And the newspaper is put in uncomfortable posi-
ton The advertising columns for sale to any re-
spectacle person who wants to buy space published
rates. the editorial columns sale at anv price
Since the editor has opinions who would make the
best delegates and is supposed to inform his readers
he placed in the position of giving away publicity to
one while charging another for space.
Ultimately this will mean that every candidate will

selves on the back and whoop loudly
about our ability as a prophet.
Here a week ago We went right out
and said that the Cubs were men who
worked into condition slowly and
that nothing much need be expected
of them until the season was well on
it's way. And aren't they making
good for us? Here the PhiIlies have
trimmed them four straight times
and have done it with comparative
ease.
In reality, the Cubs have beaten
themselves. In all the games they
have slammed the ball hard, but have
failed because of openings left the
other fellow and refused to take adj
vantage of their own opportunities.
The Cubs have evidently looked
over last years records and learned
that the PhiIlies won a pennant with
out much of a baserunning team.
But things will be different in the sea-
son to come, and if the North SidePs
are to be up in the race they will have
to show more wide-awake ability on
the paths than in yesterdays punk
stuff.
They made three runs and 13 hits,
and the hits weren't scattered. But
it took four hits to manufacture the
second run, and three were required
to put the third one over the plate.
That seems like a terrible waste of
run-making material.
However, there is some speed to
that Cub gang, especially in the out
field, so there is room for much hope.
The men will ginger up in a short
time and should be doing better with
their tools.
There is a very apparent possibility
that Mike DOOlan will find it hard to
land himself a job of shortstopping
during the coming season. Alex Nc

CaTthy as batter.
The latter has had several chances
to star, but has failed to reach any
great heights so far. 1t may be that
he is in for a good season. Muligan,
however, may have the. call, because
he has yet to show his big league
worth.
Doolan must play better ball than
he did in the Federal league last year
to push these two young men aside,
and Mike has reached the age when
improvement is hardly to be expect
ed. His batting is weak, and always
has been, and he is hardly covering
as much ground on defense as when
he was recognized as one of the best
defensive men in the business.
Outside of this one shortstoP po-
sition, there is little doubt of the
makeup of the Cub team. Zim, Safer
and Yerkes are all sure of their jobs,
and Mann, Flack, Zwilling, Williams
and Schultz are outfeld certainties,
with the choice for regular duty lying
between the first three named.
