Regiment Kneso Only
Obedience to Orders

One of the most amusing items
in Mr.. Balief's entertaining book
is the 'eWooden Soldiers Gone
day." he told me, 81 discovered q
volume of Russian legends in pile
of children's books, in one of which
I found tale Of the Gear Paul l.
Over one hundred years ago this
powerful monarch was reviewing a
favorite regiment in st. Petersburg.
He gave the order to march, but
soon after was called away on ur-
gent business by messenger from
the palace.
In the old Russian army no
officer could countermand an order
given by the car. So the soldiers
kept on walking, until they marched
out of Russia and arrived at the
Ural mountains. The car had for
gotten his order, but the faithful
soldiers continued to march. Ac-
cording to the legend, they arrived
in Siberia with their arms and legs
working mechanically. And the stiff,
gaunt trees in a forest there today
are said to be this regiment turned
into wood. London Tit-Bits.

APPRECIATE GOOD VOTE

> Now that the election is over and
the smoke of battle has cleared away.
the results known, some candidates
winners and others losers, it is prob
ably well to lean back, take rest,
and think matters over.
AS a defeated candidate for repre-
sentative, I have done this, and have
come to the conclusion that I must
have had a number of good friends
and supporters out over the county to
whom 1 wish to express great appre-
citation for the good vote accorded me-
My campaign was short and aggres-
sive, devoting only three or four days
weeks for interviewing voters and
calling over the county. The farm
ers of my home township-Partridg
gave me-a very good vote, for which
I am thankful. Likewise did the
farmers of Sandstone township, Nor
man, Fleming, and other neighboring
townships. Dell Grove, not so far
distant, also gave a good sendoff.
While l was out campaigning over the
county, I knew that there was some
work going on in my home village to
cut down my vote. This, however,
did not try to counteract, leaving it
entirely up to the home folks to vote
as they saw fit and if the few parties
who were laboring under cover in my
home village and those who voted
against me think they have done the
right thing, that is entirely up to
them. I have stood on certain is
sues and for which I shall continue
to stand regardless of my defeat, and
don't believe that I shall ever enter
into discussion of petty measures in
any campaign. Our neighbOring vii
lage of Sandstone, gave me three to
one vote-a splendid sendoff, COM
pared to the vote of Askov village,
which was about two to one.
Joseph E. Therrien, my opponent,
received a splendid endorsement in
his home precinct-Pine City village
"a vote of about four to one, which
is very good and I am glad to see
that the home people gave him that
endorsement. The farmers appar-
emily are my best supporters, as in the
two southern townships of Rock
Creek and Royalton received "a
splendid vote, even carrying Royalton
by eight votes. Now that Mr.. Their
rien is the choice of the majority of
Pine county voters, I wish him sue
cess in his legislative duties again
and hope that he may do all in his
power for the good of Pine county
and the state as whole. There is
no enmity between Mr.. Therriea and
myself and I therefore wish to con-
graduate him upon his success and
wish him we'll.
= My vote as a whole over the county
was good and while 1 desired election
and hoped to be of benefit to my
people in the legislature and give
them something more through the col
umns of the American as we'll as the
other county newspapers, am, never
theless, thankful for the good vote
and should be candidate at some
other time, I know in what precincts
/ have my strength and where I am
weak, having now had test.
