More Cotton Spinning
Because of Cheap Labor

Toxic. Oct. 3-Cotton spinning by
japanese in China has been on the
increase in recent years. This Is due
to the cheaper, more plentiful sup
ply of labor obtainable in China than
in Japan and the advantages of get
ting supply of raw cotton on the
spot. In addition to. these ad-
vantages' the proposed raising of i'm
port duty on cotton yarn and cotton
fabrics as result of the Washington
conference will make the import of
these goods to China in competition

suing a railway company for dam
ages resulting from the death of a
COW which had been run into by a

his pet question, which was:
"Now tell me, was the COW on the
track?'
AT last the engineer became angry,
and answered the question::
"Well. if you want me to tell the
real truth. the COW was bathing in
the stream the other side Of the track
But the engine saw it, leapt off the
rails. dashed over the hank, and,
landing right on top of the COW.

Editorial Comment
The lnanity Of Love Letters
(New YorkTribune.)

NNeW 4OIhFl TlDune.)
Whether the love letters issuing
from New Brunswick are authentic
or not, there need be no surprise at
their quality. Volumes of love let
tiers pass through the courts year in
and year out, and we have yet to sec
one that when read out in the cold
light of day, did not display the same
hopeless inanity. Love levels all lit
clary talent, at any rate.
There were the Brownings, for in
stance. who, off the line of their
mutual passion, were skilled and adj
mirable craftsmen. The superlative
mush that they wrote one another
doubtless parsed better than would
the love letters of a pickle manufac-
turer in a breach of promise suit
brought by a member of a Follios
chorus. 1t had little else to commend

Only Now

O0ly NOW
Only one time worth the having,
And it's now.
Never ask the foolish question,
When and how.
Look upwards to the sky,
Never mind wherefore or why,
There is no by and by,
Only now.
Only one more hill to climb,
That's the next.
Don't get flustered don't get worried
Or perplexed.
For the further heights can wait;
Do not pause or hesitate,
One more step to conquer fate,
That's the next!

BAND WAGON TACTICS

The Herald wonders if the banc
wagon tactics used by the Kellogg
boosters at the gathering of the Min
nesota newspapermen at the West
Hotel Minneapolis, Friday and Sat
urday of last week was as fruitful
of result as had been expected.
The Herald understands on relia-
BILE authority that about SO newspa-
per men of those represented were
pledged to support the reelection of
Senator Kellogg. Many Of the bet
ter class of newspapers in every
section of the state did not sign the
Kellogg call to arms. A number of
these are supporting Judge Hallam
to succeed Senator Kellogg; a num-
Der of others, including the Herald,
refused to sign, because we are not
particularly interested whether
Frank Kellogg succeeds himself or
whether he is succeeded by Judge
Hallam or some other good man.
This paper will support the candidate
nominated at the Republican conven-
ton March 81. But in this pre-con-
vention senatorial fight if any of the
candidates desire to use advertising
space in the Herald they must pay
for it.

A STRONG CANDIDATE

The Sixth Minnesota district will
have a candidate for the clerk OF
the SUPREME Court in George M &.
Stowe well-known resident of Wa
dena county. Mr.. Stowe announced
his candidacy few days ago and
the response from every section of
the state has been surprisingly graf
flying. At the present time none of
the elected officers of the state come
from the Sixth district except Her
man B. Mueller of St. Cloud, pres
ent clerk of the supreme court. The
present incumbent was nominated by
Tcwnley support in a three corner
ed fight four years ago and cannot
be expected to be named in a con-
vention made up of representative
Republicans. Mr.. Stowe will take
to the office of clerk of the Supreme
Court an experience of sixteen
years as clerk of the district court
of Wadena county. He is widely
known over the entire state; he is a
man Of mature judgment and splen-
did ability; his magnetic personality
will make him host of friends with
those whom he comes in contact.
The Herald would like very much
to see the Sixth district get back of
Mr.. Stowe in his aspiration for clerk
of the Supreme Court. If he can get
into the state convention with his
district solidly back of him he Will
be nominated not later than the Sec
end ballot, after some of the othr,
counties have given their home tai
ent candidate the usual "first ballot
complimentary vote.
