GOOD REASON FOR QUITTING
Bob FItxsimmsns May Have Been
Wrong In Judgment Concerning
"0ameness" Of His Son.

The best story observed in print for
some time is told by Joe villa In the
Sun about young Robert Fitzsimmons.
Young Fitz is considerably bigger and
stronger than his father ever was, he
Ii quick with his hands and with his
head, he knows the science of the
game. But 1t seems he can't stand up
and take it. Mr.. Villa continues:
Ten years ago Old Fitz introduced
Young Fitz to party of friends at the
former champions New Jersey home.
The father put on the gloves with his
son and the latter surprised the Wis
itors with a dazzling exhibition of
science.
"He's very clever, amt he?" re-
marked Old Fitz during a short rest.

Resuming the tilt, Old Fitz sudden

chin with terrific force. Young Fitz,
staggering, pulled off his gloves and
threw them on the floor, as he walked
hurriedly out of the barn.

Cornishman, "but he can't take a

ELECT A CAPABLE MAN

A voluntary committee, headed by
Chas. Adams, chairman of the Re-
publican state committee and until a
few days ago, secretary to Governor
J. A. o. Preus, have opened head
quarters in the St. Paul Hotel for
the purpose of looking after the gov
ernor's campaign in his race for the
United States Senate at the final cleo
ton July 10Th.
The committee believes, and with
good assurance, that if fairly good
sized vote can be gotten out at the
special election, the governors
chances for success are very bright.
But there is the rub.
The special election held on June
18th brought out trifle over one
third of the voters. While governor
Preus had a plurality over Judge
Hallam of $4,000, as Republican
nominee he only polled 558 more
votes than Magnus Johnson, the
Farmer-Labor candidate. Although
the total Republican vote at the pri-
maries was $4,000 more than was
cast for the Farmer-Labor candidate,
it does not necessarily follow that all
of the Republican majority would be
cast for the governor at the special
election. The support of Judge Hal
lam and his friends will generally be
found back of the governor as will
the Anderson and Stevenson men,
but those voting for Victor Power,
Congressman Schall, and Ernie Lun-
deem are more apt to vote against
the governor as they are for
him, so it can be seen that the vol
untary committee have right to be
somewhat alarmed over the prospects
on July 10th.
The Herald believes that the best
interests of Minnesota will be served
at this time by elevating Mr.. Preus
to the Senate. State Senator James
A. Carley, the Democratic candidate,
will open his campaign next week
and he can be expected to fill the
atmosphere with charges about the
governor, very largely because of
his personal animosity to him. The
Herald would urge it's readers to
take the Carley charges with grain
of salt.
This is not time for Republicans
to allow their own personal disap-
pointments to enter into the contest.
The race for the senatorship is be-
tween the governor and Magnus
johnson, and while the Herald does
not question Mr.. Johnson's integrity
or his sincerity of purpose, even his
most intimate friends cannot claim
that he is fit timber to be elevated
to the United States Senate.
Governor Preus by education, ex-
perience and training and with his
ability would soon become an infu-
entail member of the Senate. The
Herald is convinced that the best in
terests of the state would be served
at this time by electing him on July
10th.
If fairly large vote can be gotten
out to the polls on July 18th, Mr..
Preus can be elected. If the citizens
do not show more interest in the spec
ial election than they did at the pri-
maries, the outcome is in grave
doubt. A man or woman is not a
good citizen in the fullest sense of
the word if he or she does not use
their right of suffrage when the OPP

Chronic coughs and persistent colds lead to serious lung trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is new med ical discovery with twofold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and kills the germs.
 Of all known drugs, creosote is rec-~ ognized by the medical fraternity as the greatest healing agency for the treatment of chronic coughs and colds and other forms of throat and lung troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing clements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the ir- ritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and destroys the germs that lead to consumption.
 Creomulsion is guaranteed satis- factory in the treatment of chronic coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, catarrhal bronchitis and other forms of throat and lung disease, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold, no matter of how long standing, is not relieved after taking according to directions Ask your druggist. Creomulsion Co.,, Atlanta Ga.-Adv.

so that I can see 1t before I open the door and give you a hard thump Raggedy Andy" the Goblin howled.
 Raggedy Andy did not tell the Goblin that it would not hurt him even if the Goblin did give him a hard thump.
 Instead, Raggedy Andy, quick as a wink pushed the sausage grinder on the Goblin's long nose and gave the sausage grinder handle twist.
 "Woww the Goblin howled as he kicked the door open and sat down hard upon the door step.
 Raggedy Andy let go of the food chopper sausage grinder and said, Don't trp to pull it off your long nose Mister Hookie, or you will lose your nose" then he rushed inside to where Raggedy Ann was locked in a closet. It only took a moment for Raggedy Andy to unlock the closet door. Then he and Raggedy Ann rushed upstairs and cut the ropes which held the nice, kind SnitZnoodle a prisoner in the chair.
 Hookie the Goblin was still sitting on his front doorstep with the saus sage grinder fastened to his nose.

 "Because I wrote myself to Santy Claus for doll and a. set of dishes land doll house and doll papy carriage"-
 "Aw, there ain't-young MT. Jarr looked carefully around and then sank his voice to defiant whisper mo Santy Claus"
 "Only girls believe in Santy Claus? was the opinion of Master Rangie. "Yah, yah! If yon don't believe in Santy Claus you don't get nothing, you bad boys" cried little Emma Jarr.

 Furthermore, he is wary. He is experienced. In vain are the snares of the fowler laid for him, for he has seen them, and side-stepped them a thousand times.

 He is no incoming youth, ready to see the inexpressible She in every fulttoring petticoat, and diagnosing every throb of the pulse, as fatal attack of heart disease. He is no lonesome widower ready to eat out of any soft, white hand that will feed him. He is a man who loves himself, loves his own ways, his own pock etbook and latchl1ey, and who is ready to die defending them.
 There are practically but two ways in which a woman can break through the defenses of an old bachelor. One of these is by playing up nome StuIL as her big Bertha. And even this is only effective on the old bachelor whose bachelorhood was, so to speak thrust upon him.

 Finally. Raggedy Andy could hear the Goblin unlocking the iron door. The key went "click! click" then the door was opened just a teeny weeny crack and tn Goblin peeked ut with one eye.
 Raggedy Andy held the sausage grinder behind his back.
 Are you trying to fool me, Rag gedy Andy" the Goblin asked, T do not see any sausage grinder"
 That is because you are only peeking out with one eye!" Raggedy Andy said, How can you expect to see a great big sausage grinder with only one eye? Everyone knows it takes two eyes to see sausage grinder"

On Catching
 An Old Bird

A woman writes me that she is in love with an old bachelor and she wants to know how to inveigle him into the matrimonial fold
 Alas, l fear that can offer the lady no pointers worth considering on the difficult task she has under taken. When woman captures an old bachelor and leads him to the altar, it is a matter of luck, and not of skill. If it be true that matches are made in heaven, it is because her guardian angel has been working overtime, and not because of the adroitness with which she has laid her traps
 It is an easy thing to capture a boy. Any woman with pretty face, a nimble foot and palavering tongue in her head can do the trick. In fact, in most cases the boy comes up and runs his head, of his own accord, into the matrimonial moose. He is overstocked with sentiment that he must unload on some one. He is in love with love. and all that any girl has to do Is to inveig1e him out into the moonlight and let him cast the robe of his romance over her. Even his grandmother could make him believe that she was IT, and that life would be a barren waste with out her.
 4 widower is still easier to catch. He is bell-bent on matrimony, any, way and he will snatch up any woman who plants herself in his way, so that he can't help stumbling over her, and rush with her off to the parson. A widower is like dog without a master; like a prisoner turned out of jail, who doesn't know what to do with his lberty; like schoolboy who finds all the pep taken out of playing hooky because it is vacation time and nobody notices or cares what he does.
 There is something about domes- ticity that units a man who has once been householder for any other kind of life. A man who has been accustomed to punching the home tine-clock on the dot every evening and sitting down to the sort of din- ner he likes without having to order 1t, and tip the waiter, and to having his buttons put in his shirt. and to having somebody to blame for every thing that goes wrong, simply can't get along without it. He is bored to death in clubs, restaurant cooking upsets his stomach, and he finds life flavorless without sparrlns partner
 So any woman who will say few kind words to the widower and pat him on the head, and feed him on angels food, can have him for the taking.
 But an old bachelor, That is some thing different yet again, Mauruss.
 To begin with, man is generally an old bachelor because that is the station in life to which he has called
