President Vincent of the told
the bankers club of Detroit, Mich.,
the other night, that it was time to
renew faith in democracy. Dr. Vin­
cent is always stimulating, and we
hope he will fix things so that many
poop}**. will be able to renew the
faith in democracy at the ''people's"
iniivirsify which they have nearly lost.
Nathaniel Hawthorne's Scarlet let­
ter was a wonderful psychological
study as well as a great story, but
Hawthorne did not base it on any
trouble of his own or of his family.
His son Julian, however, who dragged
an honored name in the dust, is go­
ing to capitalize his .year's stay in
the Atlanta federal prison by telling
how it feels to be a prisoner and is
also going ito tell, from the point
of an "insider,why prisons do not
reform. As a matter of fact, in spite
of many imperfections, American pris­
ons have reformed many men. We
know that, is true in Minnesota, and
believe it. to be true of other states.
Of course, not. all are changed, but
neither do all outside of prison make
good. Why expect more of the ab­
normal or subnormal, the victim of
poor environment and ignorance, than
of the. supposedly normal on the out­
side. Hawthorne's views will be in­
terest n»-, as anything tl*at throws
light upon the feelings and point of
view of the "insider" is of value.

Matt Quay had many manly traits.
Ho kept his promises, he was a good
husband and kind father. lie was
hospitable and generous. Yet no man
would hold JNIatt Quay up as an ex­
ample to youth, and everyone knows
why. His political methods were such
:,-s
men cannot approve, dangerous to
his «ountry and to the moral integrity
of its citizenship. Boss Piatt was the
same sort of a man. There are many
examples. Then there are men who
have all the virtues that Quay had
and yet are so backward in thought,
so reactionary *Sn political belief, that
they too would not in this progres­
sive age be considered either as ex­
amples tor youth or as safe guides
for the people. These reflections are
prompted by Wheelock's Weekly ap­
parent desire to boost one of the most
reactionary politicians in this state
because it learns that he is hospitable
and generous. The editor of our Fer­
gus Falls contemporary seems to have
forgotten that wide knowledge he has
always shown of the political situa­
tion in this state, or else his own
generous and kindly personality has
blinded him to the fact that demo­
cratic democrats demand something
more in a man than the excellent do­
mestic virtues, which, splendid in
themselves, do not, excuse reactionary
ideas and devotion to the interests
antagonistic to the people. Most
folks are ''good fellows." It would
bo 0Ji unpleasant world if it were
not so. But a good fellow like Tom
Johnson, not only genial and kind, but
willing to sacrifice health and fortune
jn the behalf of progress, is one kind
of good fellow, and very different from
Lorimer, the good feliow pleasant to
meet and to know, kind husband and
father, but whose political methods
were a disgrace to his state and a
danger to his fellow-citizens. We
prefer the Johnsons to the Lorimers,
and we hope Wheelock's Weekly docs.
SENDING BOTS TO COLLEGE
Philadelphia Public Ledger: A
ientus of the present freshmen 'class
at Princeton illustrates the tendency
of modern parents to bestow upon
their children, if they can, the edu­
cational and social advantages they
did not themselves enoy.
Of the enrollment 55 per cent, is
that of young men whose fathers did
not attend college. One of the fath­
ers is a member of President Wilson's
cabinet another is a policeman 256
of the 430 are engaged in manufactur­
ing and business there are I" en­
gineers, 30 bankers, 19 brokers, 11 in­
surance men and nine engaged in
teaching, with many other callings rep­
resented.
No matter what the work whereby
a man earns the means to send his
son to college, it is certain that his
purpose it to do for his offspring the
be«w he can, and he id willing to make
any sacrifice to give him the equip­
ment that shall make him a useful
and honored citizen. Many a lad goes
to college selfishly pblivious of the
self-denial and toil that has sent him.
He neglects his opportunities and
comes out of college with expensive
hfibita and with no developed aptitude
that, makes him valuable in the
world's market place. Appraising him

and are behind him and build their

That more than half of the fathers
of a Princeton class are men who did
not attend college shows that popu­
lar confidence in the general results
of higher education in America still
lives, and that the academie prepar­
ation is justified by its fruits. Our
institutions of learning are not be­
yond criticism—they never will be—
but the best refutation of the synical
assertion of their futility is to be
found in the fact that so many fath­
ers who have not won a collegiate
degree continue to want it for their
sons.
McEWEN'S VIEWS ON DULUTH
•"CHARITY" BALL
Labor World:—We peeped in at the
charity ball the other night. We want­
ed to see everything that could be
seen, and /so we saw how Duluth's
"400" act at their parties. We dis­
covered one thing that you don't
have to be dignified and stiff to "be­
long." Instance the pretty society
giri who amused an excited crowd by
tossing salted almonds and figments
ov wafers into her escort's mouth.
We saw the gorgeous dresses it
nuist have cost a fortune to dress the
women who attended the "charity"
ball. And the jewelry it seemed to
hanf in clusters from every neck. It
was a pretty sight as we watched the
convolutions and contortions of the
tango trotters. There were castle
walkers, turkey trotters, tango twist­
ers and catch-as-catch-can crawlers
and they hobbled and bobbed about
the floor in the most curious, but fas­
cinating manner.
As we looked we marvelled, and
we forgot that all this display was
given in the name of charity. Ever
sir.ee we have been trying to make
out. whether after all such affairs
arc not given out of sympathy for
fashionable dressmakers, rather than
to help the struggling poor. Charity,
o!i charity, how many sins are com­
mitted in thy namu.
The- ball was a mockery. The sen­
sible fashionable people would do
well if they should give it the taboo
in the future. Charity workers are
a unit against it* It ought to be
numbered with the foolish things of
the past, and there let it. remain.
SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PROS­
ECUTED
Princeton Union:—A St. Cloud boy
secured a small game license from the
auditor of Sherburne county together
with a circular purporting to give,
among other things, the date when
muskrats could be legally trapped. The
circular was presumed to have been
prepared by the game and fish com­
mission. The bov, pursuant to the in­
formation conveyed in the circular,
trapped a few muskrats after Novem­
ber 15. A game warden arrested him
and he was fined $20—the muskrat sea­
son legally opens December 1. The
bov acted in good faith on the misin­
formation contained in the circular
and was morally guilty of no wrong.
The fellow who sent out the minis
formation should make good to the
boy the amount of the fine. But he
won't. Again the Union inquires of
what benefit is the game and fish com­
mission to the people of the state of
Minnesota as a whole?
Pillager Herald:—The primary elec­
tion next year will occur in June in­
stead of in September as formerly.
The early primary will mean that the
campaign for office will commence
late in the winter or early in the
spring. The four-year term of office
will cfoubtless cause the fight for coun-
ty offices to be brisker than usual.
Under the new law, the county office
becomes a bigger plum than formerly
and there will doubtless be many more
ambitious politicians anxious to pluck
the fruit than in the good old days
of "two year tenure."
A young lad, just returned from a
bearding school, upon being asked by

of them transgress it is because they
feel driven into it by the practices
of the less scrupulous, and they would
welcome a square deal for all. In
some of the western states the law­
makers are taking advanced ground
in this matter, and we note the fine
of $50 just imposed upon a storekeep­
er at Everett^ Wash., for selling ia
fountain pen that had not formnd a
part of a stock advertised as having
belonged to another doaler. Misrep­
resentation pf this kind has become
inurb too common in retail trade. In
scnifc cases no great harm is dane
tho goods sold are worth what is ask­
ed for them, and the misrepresenta­
tion is simply a way of exciting the
interest and expectation of the prblic.
But too often under such a cover some
wretched trash is worked off. Against
im^noitiono of this, sort the public is
fairly entitled to protection.

A TRIBUTE TO THE COW!
^The following tribuite ,to
was written bv F. D. Grayham in Pa­
cific Dairy Review.:
"Most potent of all influences in
the building of this, the mightiest na­
tion in'history, is the cow. Her sons
drew the plows which first cultivated
the land of the New World, hauled
Ito market the products of the field,
and with slow energy, moved the chat­
tels and household goods beyond the
mountains to new homes in the Farth­
er West.
"They supplied the beef which is
the food of the Anglo-Saxon, a race
that was never conquered since his­
tory began. They furnished the shoes
of the pioneers who trod the unknown
wilds and made of itihem the farm­
steads and cities of our present en­
lightenment. They gave the clothes
and robes to protect the pioneers
against the destroying blasts of winter
and made commerce possible before
the railroad was. They covered the
chair upon which he sat, filled the
mattress up which they slept and
glued the furniture which he used.
the cow
The old cow is mother of the whole
bovine race and foster mother of half
the human race. From the roadside
weed she manufactures the most nour­
ishing of human foods. She is the
ready aid of the farmer, the pet of
the rich man and the ever-present help
of the poor. She is the economist of
the people and the conservator of their
resources. She partakes of the grass
of the field and leaves the farm the
richer for her presence.
"As she helped to develop the farm
from the wilderness and as she ate
of its first fruits, so she will renew
the life of the soil and make a still
greater agriculture possible.
"In all our history the cow has been
mail's closest friend and benefactor.
Upon her products are built the great
business interests winch center in the
stockyards, the creameries, the shoe
factories, the harness shops and the
mills.
"Take away the cow and our banks
would close, our graveyards yawn, and
the wheels of commerce would cease to
turn. Foster and care for her and
business flourishes, the fertility of the
soil is conserved and she becomes the
custodian of the nation's prosperity."
MIDDLE AGED STENOGRAPHER
Chicago Beeord-Herald: It is dis­
covered in New York that there is a.
time limit in the business world for
wtmen no less than for men. The
woman most discriminated against is
of these, aged 40, has written to the
papers to ask why, experienced and
able and still energetic and ambitious,
she cannot get and hold a satisfactory
position.
Employers have been interviewed.
One and all they resent the imputa­
tion that the choice of younger wom­
en for stenographic positions is in­
fluenced by a pretty face or by per­
sona! charm. Fresh, keen senses and
adaptability to modern methods were
given as the. determining factors.
The hope for the middle-aged wom­
an stenographer would seem to be in
gradually getting such a grip on the
details of a business—or some depart­
ment of it—as will make her useful,
find even indispensable, in something
beyond mere typewriting. This anight
be difficult in a large office but not
impossible in a small one, where the
persons element has greater play.
TRIBUTE TO HIS MOTHER
I think back through the years, the
lean and the fat, the good and the bad
ones, to my earliest recollection. I
see a woman with an eye that flashes
swift as an archangel's wing and a
that
breaks with laughtej-, and
hardens at sight of wrong, singing lul­
labies a woman who, with hand grasp­
ing the Unseen Hand, walks the brier
bordered paths of life unashamed, un­
afraid, unharmed. She is clad iu gar­
ments of beauty for me, and age does
not soil them, nor years make them
cheap and tawdry. Her tongue is
without guile, having never been the
messenger of a lie. It is seventeen
years since her soul went home to
God and her fingers became for me
the fingers of an angel, but I have not
forgotten all she said. She told me
there was a Santa Claus, and I believe
her. He brings me no longer drums
and fifes. But he still brings to me
the vision of my mother and the music
of that angelic chorus which sang at
creation's dawn and at the hour of
man's redemption. Vice President
Thomas B. Marshall.

REFORMING THE CROOK
Hutchinson Leader:—Charles E. Vas
aly, chairman of the state board of
control, and recently elected president
of the state board of corrections and
charities, in a recent address deplor­
ed the attitude of police and peace of­
ficers toward paroled men from the
penal institutions. These police offi*
cers go on the theory that once a
crook, always a crook, and the man on
parole gets little or no help from the
very persons who should assist him to
get a new start in life. Many of
theses men are the victims of unfor­
tunate circumstances, rather than hard*
ened criminals, and a little timely as­
sistance would in many cases save
their restoration to good citizenship.
Keeps Comin' Bonn'
"Every time you go to town
And start to throw your money 'round
Say, home-made-goods are the stuff for

Because they spell pros-per-i-ty.

shore
Says: "Good-bye, Bill,,, for evermore.
But the, dollar you spend in your In­
land town
Keeps a 'comin' and a 'comin' and a

In order to economically feed a dairy
cow it is always desirable to supply as
much ol' the nutrients required in the
roughage part of the rations as pos­
sible. says the Kansas Farmer. Alfalfa
hay contains relatively much larger
amounts of protein than corn silage.
Both are very palatable forms of
roughage and in combination form a
most satisfactory and economical basis
for a milk producing ration. Por a
cow of moderate production giving in
the neighborhood of three gallons of
milk a day, fifteen pounds of alfalfa
hay and all the corn silage the cow
will consume, which will ordinarily
amount to thirty or thirty-five pounds
daily, will supply sufficient digestible
nutrient material for the production of
this quantity of milk.
In order to produce larger quantities
of milk if a cow has a capacity for pro­
ducing more milk, it will be necessary
to supply additional nutrients. Addi­
tional roughage cannot be consumed, so
the extra nutrients required must be
supplied in a more concentrated form.
It is commonly estimated that about
one pound of a properly balanced grain
mixture must be supplied for each ad-
Nearly one-fourth of the Guern­
sey cows or heifers which have late­
ly made high records off milk or
butter fat production are owned in
"Wisconsin, and almost without ex­
ception the owners are members of
co-operative couruy breeders' asso­
ciations which, with the aid of Pro­
fessor George C. Humphrey of the
College of Agriculture of the Uni­
versity of Wisconsin, have been
formed in their respective districts.
One of the best monthly records
was that of Taylor's Cream Cup,
owned by C. C. Allen of Kenosha.
This cow in one month produced
1,595 pounds of milk which yielded
S2G3 pounds of butter fat, or the
equivalent of 90.39 pounds of butter.
ditional four pounds of milk. For sup­
plying this additional nutrient material
in a concentrated form a combination
of four parts corn chop, two parts bran
and one part cottonseed, meal would
probably be the most satisfactory ra­
tion. One pound of this mixture would
supply .12 pound of digestible protein,
.52 pound digestible carbohydrage and
.5 pound fat. Ton pounds of addi­
tional milk would require about four
pounds of this mitxure, or, in other
words, a cow that is capable of pro­
ducing thirty-five pounds of good avier
age milk can be fed fifteen pounds of
alfalfa hay. thirty or thirty-five pounds
of corn silage and four pounds of this
grain mixture. If the extra grain fed
with this_ roughage ration should be
cottonseed meal only, much more di­
gestible protein would be supplied
than would be needed for milk pro­
duction. Since cottonseed meal is more
expensive than, corn
meal or bran, such
a ration would necessarily be less eco­
nomical than the properly balanced ra­
tion suggested.
How Much Seed Corn to Select.
It will'require about seventeen ears
of corn per acre to plant three kernels
per bill in thick rowed corn. If you
list, it is the editor's judgment that no
more seed than this should be used on
average good upland. and the kernels
should be dropped as nearly as possi­
ble one in a hill and the space should
be as equally distributed as possible.
Remember, however, that in selecting
the corn in the field yOu go over it
rather hurriedly. When winter comes
and you look the ears over carefully
you will Gnd many that will not suit
you. Of those that do suit a number
may not grow strong, unless the corn
Is properly dried and stored. A good
rule is to select twice as many ears
from good plants in the field as are
needed to plant the required number
of acres next year. This allows a very
close selection to be made during the
winter.—Kansas Farmer.
Hogging Off Corn.
There is no better way to fatten
hoga with profit to the owner than to
turn them loose in the cornfield and
let them pick the com themselves.
Experimentation has proved and the
experience of praetica farmers to all
parts of the state is that this method
Li a profitable one. Every one who
has tried it agrees that It is an
the hogs get the corn when is fresh
and more relished. -More pounds of
pork can be made from a bushel of
corn by "hogging off" than by eating
husked* corn.—Orange Judd Farmer. I
Farm Watef Supply.
A season such as we have just passed
through should be a warning to every
man handling stool in any considera­
ble numbers to establish, a thoroughly
reliable water supply, says the Kansas
Farmer. A thoroughly dependable
water supply is an absolutely essential
of every good live stor*k farm. It
would seem that the tendency has been
too ranch in the p.ist to depend upon
luck or circumstances in a. great many
eases to supply water for cattle and
•thei stock.

EIGHT DAYS GROSSING DESERT

Presidio, Tex., Dec. 9.—The com­
plete rout of Huerta's federal army in
Northern Mexico, with the frantic
flight of his generals for safety on the
border and the demoralization of the
unpaid troops, was established with
the arrival at Ojinaga, Mex., opposite
Presidio, of the civilians and soldiers
who deserted Chihuahua City.
In the remarkable hegira whicli
struggled for eight days over the
185-mile trail through the desert and
endured great hardships for want of
food and water, were General Salva­
dor Mercado, Huerta's deposed mili­
tary governor and commander of the
federal troops in the north General
Pascual Orozco, General Antonio Ra
jos, General Marcelo Caravao, Gen­
eral Ynez Salazar and a host of
subordinate officers.
They had deserted their posts in
fear of General Francisco Villa's rebel
army and virtually had surrendered
Chihuahua, the state capital and the
largest of the far northern cities, to
the rebels.
Along with tiiem came, burdened
with what property they could carry,
men, women and children, represent­
ing some of the richest families in the
republic. Their flight with the army
was in face of reports that they might
expect no mercy should they fail into
the hands of the rebels.
L'uis Terrazas, a wealthy land own­
er, reputed to own half of the state of
Chihuahua, was said to have brought
with him a vast fortune in cash, fear­
ing it might be lcoted by the rebels if
he remained in the evacuated city.
Whether the federal officers and the
soldiers would attempt to seek refuge
in the United Slates was not made
known on their arrival. Just before
the approach of the federals the few
rebels in Ojinaga, who were greatly
outnumbered by the advancing fed­
erals, left their garrison and retreated
to the field.
