|WHAT OTHERS SAY !

Thief River Falls Times-It is pc
culiar thing how few people there are
who realize that every dollar that is
borrowed and spent by the government
today will have to be paid back. This
burden of debt is an obligation that
cannot be repudiated. 1t will have to
come out of either savings or our
earnings. If the debt increases to a
point where the government is unable
to retire it by taxation, then govern
ment securities will become worthless.
Bank depositors and insurance policy
holders and those who look forward
to old age pensions will then pay the
bill. The debt will be paid and whether
we like it or not we will make many
sacrifices in order to pay for it. And
the very people who are supposed to be
benefited by lavish expenditures will
be the ones to suffer most when the day
of reckoning comes.

Minnesota leads the nation in
the production of butter. One
sixth of the total is produced
by the North Star and two
thirds by cooperatives. st.
Louis County was fourth in
butter production with $780,
597.O4 as total. The total
Minnesota dairy income for
1897 was 167,368,286.34.

Carlton Vidette-Perhaps a lot of
people would throw up their hands in
more or less holy horror at the thought
of legalizing the lottery business in this
country, to sort of reinstate the old
Louisiana state lottery system which
cut a big figure here in the days of so
years ago. However, the postmaster of
st. Paul states that over $1,000,O00 a
year are sent out of that city alone for
lottery tickets. OF course the buyers
are mostly suckers" and that is their
own business. But the trouble now is
that the cash leaves this country and
goes to Europe, or Mexico, and very
little of it returns to this country. If
people are bound to gamble, it would
seem that we may as well let them
patronize home industry, help pay a
lot of taxes in the matter, and keep the
wealth at home.

Long Prairie Leader-The six cents per
last year brought $57O,0OO,O0O into the
government treasury. If man smokes
one package day, his tax for the
year is $21.90. This is what is known
as painless taX-you do not realize
you are paying it. There are hidden
taxes of one kind or another on every
thing we eat, wear or use. The cost
of government spending cannot be
evaded.

Chisholm MeSaba Miner-Here is
something we've been thinking for a
long time but never got around to say.
Off and on we've heard many har-
argues on the evils of the mining COM
panies, expressions, suppressions and
depreSSionS. Much of this talk comes
from the mouths of those who were
born, raised and educated by funds
earned directly or indirectly from the
mining companies. Maybe the old man
is still alive but retired on pension
or maybe he is comfortably laid to rest
where he can't hear his offspring
growing and snarling at the hand that
fed him. We can't remember hearing
that any of these early employees were
shanghaied into service for the mining
companies. Seems to us most of them
came up here willingly, got jobs, raised
families and enjoyed their bondage.
Anyhow, if the younger generation
isn't satisfied with the proceeds, why
do they stick around? Why not light
out for some other community where
blessings are more plentiful? Some of
them have done that very thing but
they didn't go far enough. They got off
at a safe distance, financed by funds
from the old sock and then they throw
rocks back at the same old target, the
mining companies. It's an obsession.

tacit understanding that the Vermilion

lative offices, one out of the three voted
on, but in recent years the candidates
from that section haven't placed Per-
haps Mr. KoSh can win that honor for
his area. Certainly there's nothing
that can be said against him. He is
unspoiled in any way by the faint of
previous politics, he is highly intelli-
gent, honest and hard worker. Voters
of the Mesaba Range ought to seriously
consider making a gesture of friend
illness to the Vermilion region by mark
ing their ballots for MIR. KoSki.

Busiest Termites Blind
and Avoid the Daylight

The species of termites common
in this country live in old logs. dead
or decaying wood, in stills of build
ingS, or in the ground under stones.
They select for their food moist
wood or books or papers stored in
moist places. AS the workers are
blind and avoid the light, and as
the bodies of termites are soft and
not able to Withstand drying, the
injuries from these pests are hidden
and often unknown until suddenly
building collapses or a piece of fur
niture falls to pieces or the inside
of book is found eaten away. No
evidence of the presence of the cul-
prits inside is obtained from an out
side examination, states a writer in
the Detroit News. A piece of tim
Der that appears perfect from the
outside may be nothing but a shell.
An infested timber is easily detect
ed by pounding with a hammer, CIV
ing hollow or shell-like sound.
The termites cannot be detected
by listening to their boring. They
are fought with poison gas, with ar
senical smelter dust blown into their
burrows, etc.; timbers are treated
with creosote, while metal and creo-
sote barriers between the founda-
ton and woodwork to prevent con-
tact between the termites and the
soil or other source of moisture are
effective.

THE NEWSPAPER
By Herbert Howell

The writer knows of no other So
cial organ that gives as much free
service as does the newspaper.
Each day we read the daily paper.
Each week we ought to read, or
maybe do read, the Negro papers.
Probably few have thought of
how much work and expense it is
to put out even a small paper.
Mr.. C. E. Newman and his staff
are deserving of a great deal of
credit for two excellent papers each
week, the st. Paul Recorder and
the Minneapolis Spokesman. If the
paper isn't what you think it ought
to be, then let's establish more
Negro businesses and in this way
the paper can have more paid adj
vertisements. Again we can have a
better paper by taking out yearly
subscriptions. 1t is our paper and
we can make it highly successful
one.

Taylor Asserted He Was
Not Fit to Be President

James H. Beard, the Ohio-bred
artist, who devoted more than go
years to welding the palette and
brush, once while painting a por-
trait of Gen, Zachary Taylor told
the militarist that he was very much
opposed to his nomination to the
presidency. Although born in Buff
falo in 1914, Beard spent his boyhood
in gainesville and a number of
years in his studio in Cincinnati.
While on a journey down the
Mississippi to New Orleans, relates
a writer in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, he stopped at Baton Rouge,
La, to paint large, almost life
size portrait of General Taylor, who
was at the time foremost among the
Wing possibilities for nomination to
the presidency.
While at work on the portrait one
day, Beard said to the man who
had distinguished himself in the
Black Hawk war, the Seminole cam
paign, and the Mexican war: Cen
eral, I will vote for you, but under
protest. l never knew you as a
statesman, and am not certain
that military man is qualified for
the office"
Without wincing, General Taylor
smiled and replied: "You are right.
I am no more fit to be President
than you are. Don't vote for me-"

Golden Poppy, Columbine
Popular State Blossoms

In California, the golden poppy is
cherished to represent the sunny
state. There are many legends told
about this satiny-petaled coral flow
Ter.
One of the tales, observes writer
in the Detroit News, goes back to
days when the Indian tribes occu-
pied California. 1t seems that there
was great cold wave which de-
{ stroyed all the Indians except one
brave and his squaw. Cold and hun
cry, they called upon the Great
Spirit. He sent the fire flower" or
golden poppy in answer to their
prayers. 1t drove away the evil
spirit of the cold and frost, and
brought warmth and plenty to the
land.
Colorado's flower is the Rocky
Mountain columbine. 1t was chosen
by the people of the state because
of its colors. The white represents
the snowy ranges of the mountains,
and the yellow, the gold that first
attracted people to Colorado in 1858.
The mountain laurel was selected
as the state flower of Connecticut
because of the beauty of its bios
SONS and foliage, the latter remain
ing a glossy green throughout the
year, its sturdy and abundant
growth in the state, and its general
popularity" Pennsylvania also has
the mountain laurel as her flower.
The delicate peach blossom SYM
bolizes Delaware. 1t was chosen
because of the supremacy of the
state in peach-growing. When the
trees are in bloom the avenues from
the northern to the southern border
Of the state appear as if they were
waves of white blossoms.

Indians Conception of
the Twentv.Third Psalm

The Indians conception Of the
Twenty-third Psalm, given by an
authority in the Indianapolis News
follows: THE Great Father above
is Shepherd Chief. I am His and
with Him I want not. He throws
out to me a rope, and the name of
the rope is love, and He draws me,
and He draws me, and He draws
me to where the grass is green and
the water not dangerous, and I
eat, and lie down satisfied. Some
times my heart is very weak and
fails me, but He lifts it up again
and draws me into a good road.
His name is Wonderful. Some time,
it may be very soon, it may be
longer, it may be a long, long time,
He will draw me into a place be-
tween mountains. It is dark there,
but I'll draw back not, I'll be afraid
not, for it is there between these
mountains that the Shepherd Chief
will meet me, and the hunger I
have felt in my heart all through
this life will be satisfied. Sometimes
He makes the love rope into a whip,
but afterward He gives me a staff
to lean on. He spreads a table be-
fore me with all kinds Of food. He
puts His hand upon my head and
all the tired is gone. My cup He
fills till it runs over. What I tell
you is true. I lie not. These roads
that are away ahead will stay with
me all through this life, and after
ward I will go to live in the Big
Tepee and sit down with the Shep-
herd Chief forever"

The Name Marcus

The name Marcus is a slight
shortening Of the Latin Marcus,
meaning martial or :'war-like."
1t may have been derived from
Mars, the god Of war. Mars is an
ancient name which probably meant
"a hammer" That meaning fits in
well with martial" Marcus Au-
relius, Roman consul Of the second
century, wrote the immortal ''Medi-
tations," called the finest product
of Stole philosophy. Other bearers
Of this name in ancient times, &C.
cording to an authority in the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer, were Cato, Ro-
man statesman (not the poe); CT
cero, greatest orator of Rome; Mar
cellus, Roman general, five times
consul; Trajan, emperor of Rome;
Martial, Latin poet and epigram-
matist double war-like names for
a man Of peace); QuintiIian, Roman
rhetorician; Regulus, Roman con-
sui general; and Varro, most learn
ed Of the Romans. who wrote over
900 books on many subjects.

Daisy, or Marguerite

Daisy is called Marguerite by the
Germans and French. Many of the
famous women of history whose
name contained Marguerite, used
the daisy as their flower. The WEIGH
derivation means trembling star"
The Scotch derivation was known
as Gowan which refers also to the
Bells or English Days Eye. The
German Meadow Pearl is similar
to the popular daisy of our fields.
From Germany originated the term
''he loves me, he loves me not, ("
and the flower was known as a
measure Of love. states a writer in
the Rural New Yorker. Germans
state that ''if the last petal which
is removed determines the situation
unsatisfactory the young man in
volved is at liberty to determine
otherwise" The daisy was worn
by early English royalty on days of
festive occasion.

Movement of Water Through Drain

It has been stated that when wa
ter is released through a small
hole, such as the outlet of bath-tub,
the whirlpool thus formed always
turns clockwise south of the Equator
and counter-clockwise north of the
Equator. However, such is not
the case. Whirlpools may turn in
either direction in both hemi-
spheres. The United States weather
bureau says that the phenomenon
of whirling water running through
a hole is due entirely to conditions
which have nothing to do with
location in reference to the Equator.

Windmills will supply power for
transmitting telephone conversations
over some sections of the recently
completed Fourth transcontinentar'
telephone line where it crosses desert
lands in the southwest. This first
known use of such machinery for this
purpose was recently decided upon
after the Bell Telephone Laboratories
In New York City had made tests with
an experimental windmill in New
Jersey.
The windmills will drive generators
which will charge batteries supplying
current to the vacuum tube ampli-
fiers or repeaters stationed at inter-
walls along the line between Oklahoma
City and Whitewater, Calf, to "boost"
human voices on their way. Ordinary
power lines not being available in GER
tain sections of the desert country, it
was decided that windmill at each
repeater station would produce the
power most satisfactorily.
There is an almost constant breeze
