PLACE ALL CARDS ON THE TABLE AND BURY
THE RATCHET

The woods are full Of Republican candidates for
Governor of Minnesota.
Some of them have filed and others have their
lightning rods in the most acceptable angle to at
tract votes
Several of the candidates have real ability; others
haven't SO much.
At the recent Republican state convention the state
committee were instructed to arrange for emina-
ion convention to pick candidate for governor and
other state offices to enter the June primaries
Hon. julius A. Schmahl, himself candidate for
governor is the father of the eliminating idea. All
Of the candidates suggested with one or two
notable exceptions, have signfied their willingness to
take their chances in the convention and to support the
winner in the primaries. A number Of them would
restore the governship of Minnesota to high plane.
If the elimination convention is fairly conducted the
next governor Of Minnesota be selected at that
time. If there is any attempt to stack the cards In
favor of any individual defeat at the June primaries
Is certain.
Minnesota faces critical political condition The
Herald favors the convention. The interests Of the
state is greater than that of any individual This
paper has announced its preference for Mr.. Schmah
but stand ready to support any other man named
at the convention if the cards are all laid the table.
If the Burnquist-Linquist crowd try to handle the
convention there will be gobs of trouble any other
crowd try to slip anything there will be more
trouble. ~7gas au.
This article is written before the gathering Of the
state committee Monday of this week It is hoped
that the different factions from Hennepn will leave
their hachets at home and that the convention plans
viii be completed in harmony
The Minnesota republicans have had the tar wolop-
ed out Of them previous occasions when the gang
in control rode rough shod the other fellows.
It is high time TO. the so-caed republican leaders
of the state to be big enough and unselish enough
to give every in the convention square deal;
be generous enugh to overlook of their imagn-
airy grievances against the "other fellow"
The Herald believes that the convention will be the
square If there is any candidate posing republic
who is unwilling to take his chances in this
venon he is not worthy of the support Of the party
in this state

When the society bug starts working
young men are prone to lose sleep.
That. was my trouble enc night when,
after having taken a fair naiden home
from q dance, I headed toward the
garage. A long freight train crawling
along blocked me at the nrst crossing,
and, settled back to wait for It to
snake itself by. The next thing / re-
member was heavy hand paving my
shoulder. I started up in alarm, to find
no trace of the train, the sun push
ing up In the east, and the milkman
srinning at me from the running board.
paid him q dollar hush money, but
it did little good, for my engine had
been running all the time. and it was
too good story to keep.-Exchange.

Coal From Leaves, Bark and Fruits

Coal From Leaves, Bark and Fruits.
After an exhaustive study of large
number of coal seams, James Lomax,
an English mineralogist, says he has
come to the conclusion that almost all
had their origin in vegetable matter
grown and deposited on the spot where
it now rested, the coal substance being
formed chiefly by the droppings OF
leaves, twigs,- bark and fruits. in the
shape of seeds and fructiferous cones
mainly from large trees. There had
also been, especially in the lower parts
OF coal beds, the remains of plants
much smaller In size and lower in the
scale Of organization, various kinds Of
moselike plants, all Of which combined
20 form humus In which the plants
much more highly organised could
exist and develop.-Indianapolis News.

Eruptions on the Sun.

Not long ago. at the Yerkes OBJ
servetory, an eruption was observed
land photographer on the rim Of the
sun which threw up material to a
height of 100000 miles. One cloud Of
it, which appeared as If floating de-
tached, was reckoned to have some
thousands Of times the volume Of the
earth. We are accustomed to regard
great volcanic explosions on the earth
as the mos: appalling Of natural phe-
nomena, but they are feeble and tri-
Hing disturbances compared with the
outbursts which are continually tax
ing place all over the body Of the
sun. ~

Man Leads in Endurance.

Man is truly wonderful animal
Although the majority Of the human
race ruin their strength and constitu-
tons by unwise eating and drinking,
by lack of fresh air, and by unnec-
essary exposure to all sorts Of lnfec-
ton. yet, even SO, man can more than
hold his own with the"brute creation.
Not. Of course, in muscular strength.
A tiger with one pat of his paw can
reduce a human skull to pulp; a hare
can run two yards to q mans one It
is in endurance that man beats the
lower races. For short distance q
racehorse! can sgallop nearly IS miles
an hour, but in a 5O0mile race =
trained man will easily beat any horse
that ever lived. y II II - .2@:. g :

STOICAL PHYSICIAN PERFORMS OPERATION
 ON SELF AND SPOUSE

CHICAGO.-Details of an extraor- dinary surgical operation were made public last week, in connection with the double operation performed by pr. Orlando F. Scott on himself and wife.
 To prevent amputation of his wife's right leg, Df. Scott sliced twelve inch es of skin from one of his own limbs and grafted it on the injured member of his wife.
 Throughout the operation, which lasted an hour, Dr. Scott talked with interns and students, explaining each step as it was taken and what steps were to follow. He took no anaes- thetic and despite the pain showed no outward signs of suffering.
 The doctor was captain in the United States medical corps in France. His speciality was liquid fire cases, where skin grating operations were numerous.
 Mrs. Scott was injured in an auto mobile accident. Dr. Scott set the leg but an infection made necessary either amputation or skin grating.

ROBERTS ADMITS
 TWO COUNTIES ARE LOST

C. M. Roberts, who is seeking the democratic nomination for governor, does not believe in campaigning with the crowd. MT. Roberts was one of the few politicians who did not attend the Frontier Day celebration in Prescott, believing that the people were assem- bled in the Mile High city to enjoy the festivities and not to listen to politics.
 Anyway, there were enough politi- clans present, said MT. Roberts. As confident of the nomination. as he was month ago, MT. Roberts said that he would lose only two coun- ties. conceding Nit Simms, Graham, his home county, and Mulford Winsor, Yuma, where he resides. MT. Roberts left for the north and after spending several days in Prescott and Jerome, will return south.
