"W rf f* THE PRINCETON UNION BY R. C. DUNN. PllisH Every Thursday. TERMSsi.oo PE YEAR IN ADVANCE. S1.25 I NOT PAID IN ADVANCE. OFFICE* FIRST ST.. EAST OF COURT HOUSE. Q. I STAPLES, Business Manager. THOS. H. PROWSE. Editor. Aluminum shoes for workers in breweries are on the market. They will at least keep the employes from sucking up beer at^oth ends. The national senate on Tuesday re jected the resolution for the direct election of United States senators, as amended by the Sutherland proviso, which gave the United States supervi sion over such elections. Hobson is more than ever convinced that Japan is preparing to conquer the United States. He discovered a Jap in the act of making a drawing of an obsolete piece of ordnance. For particulars see the Congressional Record. In view of the fact that the depart ment of justice is investigating an alleged magazine trust, it would be well for those country newspaper fellows who advocate a "gentlemen's agreement" between rural publishers to abandon the proposition' A news item says that the Great Northern railway company has de cided to raise the pay of officials and clerks on the system from 5 to 10 per cent of their present wages. This is surely no indication that the com pany 's profits are decreasing. A conservative estimate places the cost of votes in the Chicago primary election at four dollars apiece. The amount contributed to the various campaign funds aggregated $1,000,000. This makes the vote buying in Joe Cannon's district look mighty insig nificant. Here is what Disraeli at one time called Gladstone: "A conceited rhetorician intoxicated with the ex uberance of his own verbosity." How would this fit in the case of Champ Clark3 Or is Champ merely a common human gasbag not worthy of the appellation "rhetorician?" The Cass Lake Voice has, after making a feeble noise for several years, ceased its efforts as one of the official shouters for its town.Red Lake Palls Gazette "Feeble noise," we presume, is in tended to mean a sound scarcely audible Then, how can a paper making a feeble noise be a shouter? Oklahoma is also having trouble with its "Indian country," and the supreme court of that state has been called upon to decide whether rail roads can legally carry liquor into the territory which formerly belonged to the noble red man. That's no question for a supreme court to de cide' Why didn't Oklahoma lay the matter before TaftJ Nebraska has passed a law doing away with the "colonels" on the governor's staff. It provides that the governor may appoint aides-de camp if he so desires, but they shall not wear uniforms or have military titles conferred upon them. Sensible Nebraska. The "colonels" who com prise the governors' staffs of this country are the laughing stock of the world. Twentty-five Syrian peddlers of lace were arrested last week in Minne apolis and ordered to leave the city. They had no license to peddle. There should be a law to prevent the ad mission of such undesirables to the United States. Such riffraff scarcely ever becomes Americanized and will resort to anything but work to make a living. The country is overrun with alien peddlersthey have become a veritable nuisance. "The suffragist movement," says a daily, "has attained such prodigious proportions in this country and abroad that it has become a menace to personal safety and steps should be taken to put it down." This can be easily accomplished by giving women the right to vote. Not that many of them would likely take advantage of the power vested in them to use the ballotthey would be satisfied in the mere knowledge that they had brought man's nose to the grindstone. jfe&ti A Sioux Falls man is determined that the number of suicides and acci dental deaths through the inhalation of gas shall be stopped. He has been granted a patent on an automatic de vice which turns off the gas directly the flame is extinguished. Whether the lives of those who prefer to shuffle off this mortal coil by means of the gas route are worth saving or not is a question, but the invention will prove a good thing for the unsophisti cated country chap who blows out the gas. He will now be able to blow it out and survive the consequences. Duluth has been experimenting with a scheme to assist worthy unem ployed laborers and it has worked well in two directions. The Asso ciates Charities established a rock pile where all those who sought work were offered a job breaking large stones into small ones Many were glad to get work even at stone break ing, but there were others who de clined the offer. As a consequence the police got after the "laborers" of the latter class and arrested them for vagrancy, with the result that some of them were cast into jail while others were permitted to leave the city under suspended sentences. An in dustrial institution in the shape of a rock pile is a good thing for any city to maintainit answers a double pur pose. The governor, of Michigan: advo cates the use of the cat-o '-nine-tails Independent Press has been appointed as a means of disciplining, Such a for the high office which he holds. prisoners, barbarian is evidently unfit He should be given four dozen lashes but nevertheless the Union with the instrument which he favors, have his back rubbed with brine as in the medieval ages out of the state, MOW a people can tolerate such a monster is beyond comprehension. The Lord's prayer must be unknown in Kansas. The chaplain of the upper house of that state asked the grave and dignified senators to join him in that prayer a short time ago and only six or seven of them were heard to join him.Slay ton Grazete. This condition probably applies only to the Kansas legislators. Test the Minnesota law-makers, Jim, and you will likely find that the Kansas solons outnumber them two to one. who can repeat the prayer In consequence of the unrest created in Great Britain by Champ Clark's remarks in the reciprocity debate, the Canadian parliament last Thursday unanimously adopted a resolution de claring its political loyalty to the mother country. The newspaper articles on the reciprocity situation published in Great Britain were so distorted that the people arrived at the conclusion that Canada was about to ask Uncle Sam to take her into his fold. The situation goes to show what a lot of trouble one fool can stir up. Governor Eberhart has been offered a position as special legislative cor respondent for a Scandinavian paper pubished in Chicago, says the Pioneer Press. As this would interfere with the attendance of the governor at the many functions throughout the country at which he is called upon to be present he very properly declined the offer. The governor knows full well that he can serve the state better by delivering addressesboosting Min nesotathan he can by sitting in the press gallery scratching out stuff for some foreign newspaper. The Long Prairie Argus says southern Minnesota editor that the state immigration society brings new settlers right through that Rose part of the state and gets them into the newer sections, and the conse,. quence is that the southern counties are losing in population. But there Barley is not much hope of settling up country rapidly where land is held at lament* Gazette. Very true. Prospective settlers people looking for farm landswould be foolish indeed to pay $100 when they can purchase them in the northern part of the state for less than a fourth of the price. Then, again, in northern Minnesota they have the advantage of securing fertile virgin soil, while in the southern part of the state much of the land is worked out.

The reason for this condition is that the school ma'ams, old or young, are annexed by ranchers and cowboys as fast as they put in an appearancein ottjer words, they get married. This should be good news to the old maid school ma'ams, and there are several of them in Minnesota. Of course a word to the wise is sufficient. A Distinction Without a Difference Senator McGrath called the presi dent of the United States a liar this week. He apologized for it, which was manly. It would have been much more manly to have had self restraint enough to be a gentleman under all circumstances. He talked like a "progressve" republican, but we want to set our readers right, and on looking him up we find he is a democrat from Winona.West St. Paul Times. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS A80 Don't worry about Baldwini The voters of that town are intelligent and mighty independent, and their votes are generally recorded for the right men and measures.

William Howard and Miss Maggie Sinclair were quietly married by Judge Keith at the residence of the bride's mother in this village. If the Manitoba folks make a propo sition to the town of Baldwin and the county of Mille Lacs it will be a broad gauge one in every sense of the word. It will be no Princeton and Anoka 'narrow gouge" scheme. Spencer Brook Correspondence Charles Keith and Major Fridley came down from Princeton last Wednesday on their regular monthly land business. Charles and the maj'or are very popular down this way. Cail Philbrick has been making his headquarters at the North Star hotel for a day or two.
