Whether Wabasso will again try tc
gain the county seat is, we believe
unlikely. Many people signed the pc
tition simply for the reason that the
question has been agitated at differ
ent times for some years past and
they wanted an election to decide what
the voters of the county desired. The
voters have decided by record vote

The clean campaign waged by Red

of satisfaction to all citizens of the
county. Redwood fought fair and
there are no regrets to offer for any

the fight again five years from now.
But If they could not convince the yot-
ers OF the county this time that they
should support Wabasso's claims,
there can be small ground for their
hoping to do so five years hence. 30
far as we are concerned Redwood
Falls is good enough for us.-Lam-
berton Star.
TO move the county seat from Red
wood Falls to Wabasso required that
IS per cent of the total vote be cast
n favor Of Wabasso. The vote IN
that county last Tuesday on the cues
tion of removal gave Redwood Falls
2579 votes and Wabasso 2106. This
count IS unofficial but the vote is so
decisive that there is no question
about the outcome. Twenty three vot-
fers in the city of Redwood Falls re
corded their votes against their home
CITY. No doubt the great majority OF
/ the loyal citizens of Redwood Falls
desire to put the postscript "Skidoo"
after the names Of each OF the TWEEN
ty-three had they the names. wa
basso's population was 100 per cent
I loyal on the question.
The campaign has been attended
with some bitterness. Now that it IS
over the past should be forgotten ard
the contestants live as friends and
neighbors. A campaign is enlivened
by good. live campaigners, but good
campaigners are good losers or wiz
ners as the case may be. Lyon Coun
ty people hope that there will be no
permanent sore spots as a result OF
the heated campaign. Tracy Herald.
Over in Redwood county people
have been worked up to the highest
pitch of excitement for several weeks
past over the election for the purpose
of removing the court house from
Redwood Falls to Wabasso. The cleo
ton took place last Tuesday In which
the voters decided that the court house
had best remain at Redwood Falls.
While there has been considerable
feeling on both sides the contest was
conducted on it's merits and the fight
clean one. On the other hand there
are perhaps many men who were
friends before the scrap came up who
will be lifelong enemies. The con-
test should never have been held be-
cause of the fact that Redwood Falls
is one of the most beautiful little
cities in Minnesota besides having one
of the finest parks, Ramsey park, in
the state where visitors to Redwood
Falls have at all times free excess.
There is no question that the people
of Wabasso have feeling towards
the county seat town that will take
years to heal over. 1t is said that
the contest was started by man
who makes that his business, whether
this is true or not we do not know,
but if it is his business of stirring
up strife it is not very commend
able one.-Jeffers Review.
Wabasso was defeated decidedly at
the polls on Tuesday and in all prob
abilities it will end Wabasso's dream
of being the county seat. The vote
stood 1882 for Redwood and 21O9 for
Wabasso, leaving majority of all
votes cast 473 to which when 30 per
cent is figured makes Wabasso de-
feated by 949 votes. The vote in Mil

fond OF books and determined to A.

George Washington, he endured the
hardships OF pioneer life surveying
the uninhabited American lands, and
In his odd moments he devoted him.
self to hts books. At college he made
many friends. for his eagerness and
warm-heartedness won the admira-
ton and love Of all who met him. All
through his life Jefferson was kind
and true. Politeness was his watch
word. and his charming manners won
for him the devotion OF his friends.
the respect OF his enemies and the
alteration of his slaves. The story is
told that one day Jefferson and his
grandson were riding together when
a passing negro bowed to them. The
young man paid no heed to the greet
ing. but Jefferson politely retur aed
the bow. His grandson looked at him
in surprise. why did you bow to
the old man." he asked. Would you
permit a negro to be more of a gen.
tleman than you are?" Jefferson re-
piled.
Another attribute OF the great JET

one of the first men of high political
power. 70, abandon the elaborate dress
Of the day--the berufed shirt and
knee breeches-and TO adopt the
plain garb which is not unlike that
worn by men today. He believed
that rich and poor should be equal.
and that ponp should be done away
with. On March 4, 1901. he tied his
horse TO fence and entered the Sen
ate Chamber to be sworn into office
as President of the United States.

a man who spoke very bitterly against

man. Then" suggested the Presf-s

When the following day the man
learned that he had been speaking
with no less person than Thomas JEFF
ferson, the President. he was so strucK
by the charm and pleasing personality
OF the fair-minded President that he;
ceased TO rail against him and become.
his fast and Arm friend.
After Jefferson left the White House.
he lived at Monticello. where he kept
open house" for all his friends. and
so almost ruined himself financially.s
He was forced to sell his library
which had taken him almost nifty
years to build up, but even the money
raised in this way did not help him
long. His friends hearing OF his DIN
culties came to his assistance, but JEFF
ferson did not LIVE long to enjoy tho
relief that they planned for him.
The name of Thomas jefferson Il
engraved in the heart OF every loyal
American. and his great life aud
deeds will live forever.
