FAIR BRINGS ONLY FEW

Welfare Commissioner William Hod-

Worlds Fair would attract large num-

from all parts of the nation were
proven groundless by the almost COM
plete absence of stranded visitors dur
ing the first four weeks of the fair.
Only handful of INDECENT out-of-
towners, all young persons, had asked
the city for help since the exposition
began, he said. The welfare depart
ment sent all applicants for relief

Steer Trade Is
Somewhat Lower
Beginning of Lenten Per-

Lambs l5c to Csc Down.

South st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 81, 1899:
Bearish factors gained the upper hand
in Tuesdays cattle market, accord
ing to the Federal-State Market News
Service. Packing plants will suspend
killing operations on Wednesday in
observance of Washington's birthday.
Outstanding, however, as discour-
aging influence to the selling side
was the beginning of the Lenten sea-
son and its customary drag on the
fresh meat trade. Local receipts
were fully as large as last week for
the same period, and buyers worked
insistently for lower prices. Steers
and yearlings ranged weak to Csc
lower with heifers mostly weak, but
spots Csc off. Light steers grading
low choice topped at $1,000, with
good steers largely 1925 to $1O35,
and medium grade kinds SITS to
$500. Choice fed heifers of the year.
ling type made $3.50, with plain to
medium at $3.50 to $825, and good
up to $500 frequently. Cows de-
clined largely Csc and vealers were
fully soc lower. Weakness charac-
terized the bull trade Stockers and
feeders were weak with plain stock
ers $6.25 to $500, and medium steers
at $3.50. Good heavy calves brought
$3.50. The dairy cow trade was of
very negligible volume. The wealth
er was both too cold and changeable
and quotations were on a weak basis.
Medium and good cows were con-
sidered salable at $500 to $500.
Hogs advanced on Monday, but the
upturns were not fully maintained as
receipts expanded and the Wednes-
day packing house holiday also con-
tributed as a weakening factor in this
market. Compared with the close
of last week, prices are steady to 10c
higher, with the advance generally
on weights above 210 pounds.

Petersen COmmends
The Unbiased Voters
Continued from Page ~
Press Should be Free,

Many times during the primary
campaign, I stated that I would not
have a political party organ build
ing halo around me if were the
governor of the state Speaking from
experience as a newspaper man, it
is my conviction that the press which
does the most good is the one serv-
ing its readers well enough to main
tain list of paid subscribers. Adj
vertiSing may have some bearing on
the editorial policy of a newspaper,
but its influence is small compared
to the pressure exerted when the
paper is owned, clock, stock, and
BARREL" by political organization.
However, we have in America some
privately-oWned publications and
some writer's that are nearly as biased
as political propaganda sheets.
The editor who is a resident of
the community, accepts the ups and
downs in business, and lives with
other citizens of the community, is
the one who carries the most weight
when he expresses editorial opinions.
A political party organ which pro-
tects the party, right or wrong, even
tually loses its effectiveness. If a
department head, or individuals
working in that department, knew
that the political party organ would
expose them if they became dishonest,
they would be far more careful about
their depredations.
Keep Politics Clean.
Dishonest and corrupt individuals
do not go into church work or the
teaching profession for the simple
reason that the field does not invite
their kind, and they cannot operate
there as they would like. Politics
is one of their fields.
There is always the danger that
an organization with small mem
bership-a so-called skeleton or news
paper organization-may be used for
selfish purposes by some one with
an AK to grind. 1t may be used as
an adjunct to some political party
or candidate Therefore, let this
democratic organization become large,
for there is work to be done by in
dependent voters through free dis
cussion of real issues such as recon-
structing agriculture, unemployment,
health, education, and taxation
program that will greatly reduce
taxes on general property and place
the tax where it belongs, on net in
come.
The Independent Progressive Vot-
ers of Minnesota, by hewing close to
the line of honesty and efficiency in
government, will render real public
service and may help to attain the
goal of justice through democracy.

SNOW REMOVAL

Editor Askov American:
Please permit me space in your
Opinions of Others" column to ex-
press my opinion in regard to snow
blowing, which has become a prob
lem that has to be solved in some
way as it is problem that we will
be up against year after year unless
we find a satisfactory solution for
it. With our modern way of travel
it has become an absolute necessity
to have our roads open in order that
our children can get to school.
1t is not fair that half of the chill
dren have to stay home on account
of blocked roads, while those living
along a county road and in the vii
lage can get there every day. Our
teachers are engaged for a nine
month period and are entitled to their
salary whether we have the school
open or not as long as it is due to
no fault of theirs. So consequently
the children on the side roads are
losing out and the parents, too, be-
cause they are paying taxes to keep
the school open which their children
can not attend. Another reason why
it is necessary to have our roads
open is that today we have a num-
Der of people living on farms that
are not farming, but working many
miles from home and have no other
means of travel than by car. Look
hof IN,
from good business standpoint, it
is a paying proposition to keep the
roads open so that they can get to
work in order not to be a direct
burden to the county which in turn
reverts back on the township tax
payers.
So, for that reason 1 think we
should try to get our own snowplow
which l believe can be done if the
township, the village and school dis
trict go together. Let us get together
and talk it over as we are all in
terested in it, l am sure
We could buy pillow and wing and
attachment for a truck and hire a
truck winch WORKS out satisfactory
other places, so why not here? We
can not depend on anyone else but
ourselves to do the job.
We waited for our county pillow
for eight days and finally found out
that we could not even depend on the
promises of our county board who
had agreed to pillow our roads as
soon as they had been over the
county roads and providing that we
sent the money in ahead of time,
which the Partridge town board did.
And still they kept on passing the
buck" from one to the other for eight
days while the maintainer went over
the county road running east from
Askov, three times, which was not
necessary at all, as the road was
good after the first round. Our
county commissioners talk about
economizing and reducing our taxes
certainly do not call it economic
ing to have man driving forth and
back on road with $3.75 an hour

l wonder how the limit on sugar
raw-products raising was foisted
upon us innocent f. but dumb
common American people, anyway.
The farmer certainly didn't ask the
government to limit him to just so
much, so that about 100000 tons
could be brought in from Cuba last
year; Republicans surely couldn't
have we didn't have sugar in
their administration i. but ah-h-h,
I'll bet it was the sugar truster who
put over the limit on us.
Who else could it have been? He
can make more on sugar that comes
from Cuba because labor is cheaper
there Why, those fellows down in
Cuba don't even need to work; they
could just as well roll in the sand
and splash in the ocean. They don't
have to worry about spending all
their money in the winter time for
coal, nor saving it in the summer
time to spend for coal in the winter
time The farmers in this great

well supply all the sugar, for they

have to pay for it can not get to the
road, not even with team.
Our county gets 1c gas tax money
to maintain the county road. 1 Won
der why the townships have to pay
from $375 to $4.75 an hour for the
county pillow when it finally gets
here as we are paying for it in taxes
which rightfully should be turned
over to the townships. l think that
we should, as taxpayers, protest such
treatment.
AS a town official, also think
that our commissioners should hire
maintainers that know that they are
public servants and not bosses and
instruct them to answer calls when
they come from other public serv-
ants. That would be economy, as
that would save the townships sew
eral dollars in phone calls and lot
of aggravation.
