The easiest thing in the world to

Advertising is the most potent
force in the universe.
The individual who avoids ex
tremes shows good sense.
Never listen to a knockunless it
be the knock of opportunity.
The ignorant individual is usually
the one who fails to agree with your
views.
A paragrapher opines that ineffici
ency sometimes tries to pass itself
off as hard luck.
Minnesota is the best state in the
union, but there is room for better
ment Improved highways will help
some.
"Youth of 19 will Teach Philoso
phy to Elders at Harvard College,"
reads a headline. Well, he is at the
age of wisdom.
They say that at times it is neces
sary to look twice in order to ascer
tain whether it is opportunity or
temptation knocking.
The Winnebago City Enterprise
hints rather strongly that Frank
Day is a "nut." I designates him
as food for the squirrels.
It is barely possible that some
candidates for office place entirely
too much faith in the famous saying
of the late Phineas T. Barnurn.
One of the slushiest of the many
slushy European war correspondents
signs himself Herbert Corey. His
articles aie stale, flat ana unprofit

Says the Kansas City Star: "If
you are not satisfied with your lot in
life, cut the weeds on it." A de
cided improvement will doubtless re
sult.
Sir Edward Carson has resigned
his position as attorney general in
tne British cabinet. The Irish Home
Rulers have always insisted that
Carson was a yellow dog.
A prominent health exponent de
clares that fatigue or that tired feel

R. J. Hendeison, Minneapolis: I

CaiTan/a has been recognized by
the United States as the de facto
chief executive ot Mexico. One
Mexican cut-throat is as good as an
othei, but there is nothing good in
any of them.
Theie was a good deal of sameness
about many of the boom editions of
the countiy press last week. The
Milaca Times, however, issued a
very creditable number, about one
of the best that came under our obmen.
servation.
Harold Knutson, formerly of Sher
burne county, informs the St. Cloud
Journal-Press that in order to make
it interesting he may also enter
in the Sixth district free-for-all
congressional race. Knutson is a
live wiie and has many lriends in
the three southern counties of the
district.
A meeting was held in Minneapolis
last Friday by representatives of the
prohibition party to start a move
ment for state-wide prohibition, but
it was adjourned without any action
being taken. The Anti-Saloon
league favors constitutional prohibi
tion, while the prohibitionists advo
cate the abolishment of liquor by
statute. I would! not be wise to
launch the movement before the
"dry" forces become united.
A successful base ball manager
sagely observes: "Don't worry
about what has passed, but plug
hard for better results next time."
Fretting over the past is a waste of
time.
The man who has health, happi
ness and a clear conscience is twice
as rich as the fellow with a million
and bum stomach.Bemidji Pioneer.
The man who has health, happi
ness and a clear conscience is the
wealthiest man in the world.
Daniel W. Lawler of St. Paul has
declared himself, indirectly, a candi
date for office, but fails to state
what position he will seek. Dan is
an independent cuss, and continually
keeps the democratic leaders on the
uneasy seat.
The Preston Times cannot under
stand how a man who is a republican
only long enough to fill out the re
quired blank and swear to it can ex
uect people, who are republicans all
the year round to vote for him.
Neither can we.
A Wisconsin congressman now ad
vocates the election of postmasters,
and if the plan were ever adopted
we presume that ere long a recall
clause would be agitated for, which
would mean increasing turmoil. All
post offices should be placed under
the civil service.
Almost every county in the Sixth
congressional district has one or
more candidates for Lindbergh's
shoes. The first to file for the re
publican nomination is Jens J. Op
sahl of Bemidji, a former member
of the state legislature. If Charlie
Warner of Aitkin gets into the race
he will make tnem all go some.
In discussing gubernatorial pos
sibilities the St. Paul correspondent
of the Northfield News sneeringly
remarks: "James A. Peterson is to
have what is left of the old Smith
Eberhart-Preus machine plus his
own personal following." Is it not
a little early in the campaign to
commence talking of "machines?"
By the way, when will the News cor
respondent trot out his little joker?
An innovation in naval construc
tion was inaugurated at tne New York
navy yard last week with the laying
of the keel of the super-dreadnaught
California, the first battleship in the
world to be equipped with electric
machinery for its own propulsion. I
will cost about $15,000,000 and will
displace 32,000 tons. Battleships are
rather expensive, but their cost is
insignificant when compared to the
probable cost of unpreparedness.
A North Dakota candidate for
county office in his zeai to secure
votes piomised to turn back part of
his salary if successful at the polls.
He was elected, all right, but the
state supreme court recently ousted
him, holding that his pre-election
promise constituted a violation of
the corrupt practices act. I is no
easy matter to be a candidate for
office without violating some provi
sion of the corrupt practices act.
Secretary oi War Garrison is pre
paring plans for national defense
which contemplate a $400,000,000 ap
propriation by the next congress.
The military policy provides in part
for an increase in the regular army
from 87,000 to 120,000 men and a
creation of a reserve of about 400,000
This should meet with the ap
proval of all. I is not a policy of
military madness, but would place
the United States in a position where
it could command respect.
A magazine contributor opines
that if the Germans and Russians
want to fight you may destroy every
inch of metal and every ounce of
chemicals in their possession and
they will continue to fight, as their
ancestors did before them, with
weapons improvised of wood and
stone. He also calls attention to the
fact that the Romans and Carth
aginians did not look at each other
peacefully across the Mediteranean
because they had no dreadnaughts,
but went at each other in sail-boats
and row-boats, and, if necessary,
they would have gone at each other
in canoes and dug-outs. Unprepared
ness has never been a preventative
of war. and never will be.
THE PBINCETON UNION: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1915
The American Prison association
favors simplified court procedure in
criminal cases and advocates a wider
discretion to courts in dealing with
criminals who by reason of mental or
physical deficiency should not be
held to the same degree of responsi
bility as normal persons. The as
sociation also recommends drastic
penaltesfor non-enforcement of laws.
There is no doubt but what consider
able red tape connected with court
procedure could be eliminated with
out impairing in the least the effici
ency of our courts.
Frank B. Kellogg, the brilliant St.
Paul lawyer, recently returned from
his annual vacation trip, and in re
sponse to inquiries relative^b his al
leged intention of becoming a candi
date for the United States senate he
said: I have a treat many other
matters awaiting my attention, so
my candidacy for the senatorship, if
I am to be a candidate, will have to
wait." Mr. Kellogg is a man of abil
ity and stability there is not an
iota of the self-seeking demagogue
in his make-up. I would, indeed,
be gratifying to thousands of Min
nesota republicans if he. or some
other man of his caliber, should be
chosen to represent the state in the
nation's highest legislative body.
Sturdy Knute Nelson and Frank Kel
logg would make a team hard to
beat.
Le Seuer county will hold an elec
tion under the piovisions of the
county option law next Monday.
When the city of New Prague, which
is in the county, was considering
the appointment of judges the coun
cil found it was impossible to find
a single qualified elector who would
declare himself for prohibition. The
law provides that both factions must
be represented, and the attorney
general's office was consulted. A
ruling to the effect that appoint
ments can be made even if all those
selected are opposed to prohibiting
the sale of intoxicating liquors was
returned, and under the circum
stances it was the sensible thing to
do. There is no doubt, however,
but what the vote will show that
there are a few voters there who
favor prohibition, although in this
age of intolerance they may prefer to
keep their views to themselves.
