4 x]j years, "Mr. Dunn's writings rere more widely read than those of any other man in the state. He served the state as auditor for many years and because of the wide experience ^there gained regarding the state-Is business in every detail, he was aJ Minnesota next to his big heart.

Foley Independent. *''rj ^j? "Hob" Dunn, as ie was known over all the state, was one of the leading men in Minnesota. His untiring work in the legfslature for good roads gave him the title of "Father of Minnesota Good Roads""and in several other ways he conducted educational methods to accomplish good for the people whom Tie served^ I Madison Press. Mr. Dunn's permanent claim to fame in Minnesota rests on his work for good roads* It was through his work in the legislature that a new code of road lawsiwas adopted, bearing his name, and the state tax for road pur poses was raised to one mill, also that the,old system of "working out" road taxes was abolished. _, 'r~ Brainerd Tribune. Tens of thousands of Minnesotans will feel a personal loss in the passing of "Bob" Dunn, and his death will be sincerely mourned. He was big-heart ed, charitable, and generous to a fault an implacable foe, but a loyal and de voted friend. May he rest in peace. Martin County Sentinel. Dear old Bob has left us. The sum mons came quickly. For years he has been in precarious "health, but he loved life, he enjoyed the fellowship of men, and fought stubbornly" and courage ously the ravages of time. The announcement of his death brings sincere regret to tens of thous ands of the best "people of the state, who knew his worth and admired his rugged qualities of heart and brain. Like all of us, Bob had his weak points but Tie had a- compelling per sonality that has left, its impress in many chapters connected with the progress and development of the state. For more than a quarter of a cen tury he has been strongly in the lime light. He was a positive character. "He didn't know how to be a hypocrite and he was so constituted that his worst side was on the outside. As auditor he was watchful of the state's interests as member of the leg islature he initiated many important reforms and as editor of the Princeton Union, which he founded 46 years ago, "he was a recognized power throughout the length and breath of the state. To the ability and persistence of Bob Dunn is Frank B. Kellogg indebted for his election to the United States senate. The editor of the Sentinel has crossed swords with Mr. Dunn in some -very bitter contests, and it is a pleas Tire to recall that in all of our years of acquaintance there was never a time 'when we did not meet and part as friends. Long shall we treasure Brother Dunn's memory. He has had a stormy life and he deserves a peaceful here after. We sincerely believe the Lord will take a liking to him. Monticello News. "Bob" Dunn was one of the most Striking figures in Minnesota public life for many years. In the State Editorial association Mr. Dunn was a leading figure in republican politics he was likewise foremost. Editorial leadership as well as po litical championing culminated in his election in 1894 as state auditor, a -position which he held for eight years. Tie was the republican candidate for governor of Minnesota in 1904, but a Split in the party resulted in his de feat. Since then he had been a mem ber of the Minnesota legislature for several terms. Chisago County Press. The sad news came from Princeton, Minn., this week that good old Boh, Dunn had passed into his final re ward. Through his death Minnesota has lost one of its most prominent mena man who for the past thirty years or more has been a powerful factor in Minnesota politics. It was in the now historic Dunn-Collins fight that his name swung into state wide prominence and that was a bitter fight and left many sores which are still -J* unhealed. In those days it was surely a fighting Bob. Aside from this, how- ',*A ever, there was a much brighter side ^1 to Bob Dunn. He possessed a good, kind heart and bepeath that rugged exterior of his, there beamed forth tm bis sparkling eyes the sunshine HtMnanitarianism and good fellow hip. For years his md May God strengthen them in this the Tiour of their sorrow. For many a day the memory of Bob Dunn shall be as green as the turf above his grave and his good works shall live after him. ''ft1 fWIS--* Park Rapids Journal/ It is with sincere regret that we announce the death of Senator Robert C. Dunn. Mr. Dunn,was state auditor for a number of years and later state senator from his district. He was one of the most prominent men in the political life of the state and at the time of his death was a candidate for re-election to the senate.

He was true blue to those he liked and would make almost any sacrifice for them. He was in truth a big hearted, gener ous Irishman and in his death the whole state has suffered a distinct loss. His death was a great shock to his many friends:"r_,?"- sxl *&?&& The editor of the Enterprise con sidered Mr. Dunn as his best friend in Mille' Lacs county. Since locating here,we have received many evidences of his friendship,- and in his death we feel a deep sense of personal-loss. Mr. Dunn always had a warm place in his heart for the Mille Lacs lake district and its people. During his "career he has many times shown this feeling in substantial ways. Even during his last illness he showed his deep interest in the welfare of this community. When he heard the re port that Wahkon had been a sufferer from the forest fires he had Mrs. Dunn call the Enterprise to ascertain the facts, and instructed us that if there was need of financial assistance as a result of any fire losses here to call on him to the extent of $100. _c He was every inch a man and a fighter for the principles he believed in.

Dunn was received by the brethren of the press withdeep and sincere regret, for "Bob" Dunn was esteemed most highly by all the old as well as the younger of the, editorial profession. Our ac quaintance with him began over forty years ago, when he was editing the infant Union at Princeton.- A little favor as between publishers on our part was never forgotten by "Bob." And this was characteristic of his great big heart. Officially he served as "State Audi tor Representative in the Legislature, State Senator, and in local positions. One of his greatest services to Minne sota was the enactment of a constitu tional amendment providing for the levying of a tax for road building pur poses. This has caused him to be known as the "Father of Good Roads." Clinton Advocate.

Dunn, editor of the Princeton Union, and one of the best known public men in the state, died on Mon day of this week,-aged about 63 years. Mr. Dunn was a strong character, a good lover and an equally good hater. He was a good patriot and never lost an opportunity to flay the Huns both at home and abroad. He had a host of friends all over the northwest, of which the writer was one who will sin cerely mourn his death.

The boche hatred continues to be illustrated by the ingeniously con structed infernal machines which he is leaving behind as he scampers to ward the Rhine. A remarkable con trivance was, for instance, found a few days ago. Eight feet from the entrance of a handsome dugout that would make a good shelter for weary doughboys was found a. cane, hang ing carelessly over the balustrade of a stairway. It looked harmless, but a certain engineer lieutenant had learned to beware. Walking around the cane he examined it. It appeared to be all right. '-V. Turning on his flashlight, he went over it minutely, and halfway between the ferrule and the handle he saw a small black string tied. This string led to the balustrade and down to where a person would naturally stand at the foot of the stairs when grasping the cane. Beneath this spot,, a four square hole was filled with an ex plosive corresponding to TNT. This is one illustration of how "the boche likes to fight. This is one of the reasons why the doughboys think less favorably of an armistice than theyjtaight otherwise. :_ 'CTJ l'^^Jfr/1 Questions of the Future."" It was loyal to stand back of the president in everything that made for a successful conclusion of the- war. And Americans as a whole were won derfully and splendidly loyal in that way. .But it is no less loyal Ameri cans to desire the kind of peace they believe will be most permanent and satisfactory, even though their views should differ with those they think the president holds. The situation changes .the moment the war is over. Persuing the war to a victorious end is not de batable it is agreed jto unanimously. Once that end is attained, the debate is in order.

Note that in verse ,14 we are taught when sick to send for the elders of the church as we are accustomed to send for the physicians. The revised ver sion gives this instruction to the el ders: "Let them pray over him the sick), having anointed him with oil in the name- of the Lord." Oil was the only medicine known at that time, and was applied before praying for the sick. Read the story of the Good Samaritan to learn a similar truth, how the doctor usually administers the medicine while the elder offers the prayer, but many physicians not only give medicine, but pray for the re covery of their patients tooT Zy- James A.
