It behooves those progressives who
prefer to name themselves Democn ts
to be bestirring themselves to the
end that the delegates whom they
send to Baltimore will truly repie
sent the feelings and aspirations of
the people of these parts. The Sev
enth District ought to send two Wil
son delegates who can be depended
on to stay by him to the end, and if
a break should come follow the lead
of Bryan, Gore, Folk, et al. With
the Guffyites, Hillites and Sulhvan
ites in control, a victory would mean
nothing but a change of name, and
the fruits would turn to ashes on the
lips of the people.
This cry of prohibiting brewery
owned saloons as a political issue is
the veriest humbug, and just what the
liquor interests wish for. The lat
ter hold conventions among them
selves often for just that purpose of
discussing «the various means of "im
proving" their saloons .with the idea
of placating opposition. Anyone who
can be deceived into believing that
''improving" saloohs is temperance
reform of the remotest kind is gull-

Roosevelt is again giving Taft to the
nation by permitting his own name to
be used in attempt to eliminate the

constructive statesmanship by a rec

ible indeed. An improved saloon is
not a 'half-loaf" which should satis
fy any friend of temperance, nor is
it the one-thousanth of a loaf. The
only good saloon is the closed saloon.
The more "respectable" a saloon is
made, the more damage will it do, and
the more victims it will ruin. County
option means something for it means
local prohibition thru the enfran
chisement of the people affected by
the policy. The fight against "brew
ery owned saloons" means nothing
but catching the votes of an easily
deceived temperance element. After
severely berating the saloon interests
and painting the terrible influence
they wield in politics in the most lurid
colors, these would-be temperance
statesmen propose to remedy the
matter by whitewashing the saloons
and giving them added prestige in the
community! That's exactlv the
brand of buncombe contained in Sam
Gordon's "temperance" plank.

The securing of seed corn that
will germinate seems to worry the

Why did the Railroads select Min

Rev. Donald McKenzie, Anti-Sal

A petition is being circulated for
the construction of a public highway
on the north side of the railroad
track, between this village and the

Old timers say that the good crop

A man by name of J. G. Harris is

The city of Winona pays 1 cent for
each and every English Sparrow kill
ed in the city limits. This bird is a
dirty, noisy nuisance, and annoying
and destructive to other birds much
more preferable. All cities should
join in the effort to rid the country of
this nuisance.—Mankato Journal
In many of the progressive coun
ties of Southern Minnesota it has be
come customary for the farmers to
pay their road taxes in cash and then
for the road overseers to spend the
money on road improvement to the
best of their judgment. Wherever
tried out thoroly the plan has been
found very satisfactory.
Winnipeg, Feb. 1.—There are 13,
000,000 bushels of damp wheat in the
west facing a problem of enormouis
difficulty. If this wheat is not mar
keted and dried before spring, it will
be a total loss, involving farmers in
ruin. There is no chance of moving
it under the existing transportation
condition. A mid-winter thaw would
do great damage.
Exactly 10 years in the active ser

entry into the postoffice Work. Mrs.
Allen is the only woman mail carrier
in that part of the state.
Now that Congressman Stenerson
of the Ninth Congressional District
has become a member of the White
Earth Indian Tribe and has acknow
ledged the fact by making applica
tion for pine allotments, it has been
suggested that being a "ward of the
U. S. Government" he is not entitled
to vote and much less to be a repre
sentative to Congress. He seems
to be in a hard row of stumps.
On Sunday morning while passen
ger train No. 16 was approaching
Glencoe a passanger who appeared
to have been asleep in one of the
coaches suddenly raised in his seat
and jumped through the window. His
action was noticed and the train
stopped. The man was picked up and
taken to the hospital at Glencoe,
where he died the same afternoon.
Had it not been that the ground was
well covered with snow he would i»
all probability have been instantly
killed as the train was running at
a high rate of speed. It is thought
the man must have been dreaming at
the time he committed this strange
act.—Montevideo Commercial.
A year old moose, captured by a
farmer near Salol, west from Bau
dette in Roseau county, has been sent
to the state game and fish commis
sion at St. Paul, where it has been
turned over to the Como park zoo.
The moose was caught when but a
few weeks. The animal has become
tame and was much attached to its
captor, who desired to keep it, but
this the law would not permit.
This is the second instance of this
kind that has come to our notice late
ly. Will any one of the wise* ones
please tell us why a man is not allow
ed to keep a tame moose or a deer.
What can the object be for such a
law? We can see why a man should
not be allowed to keep tame wolves.
There is a bounty on those animals
to encourage their extermination.
But with deer the case is directly op
posite. The one aim is to protect and
encourage their increase. Why should
not a man be allowed to keep and
raise a hundred deer if he wanted to.
If the captor of this deer was not al
lowed to keep it, why is the Como
park management allowed to keep it?
If a man goes out and kills a deer
(in season) he is allowed to eat it
up. But if he takes it alive he must
part with it.
