Minn.. s second class matter, SUBSCRIPTION---85.00 PER ANNUM THINK IT OVER. A short time ago a cranky sort of a man came into this office and stopped his paper because something in it did not just suit his fancy, says an exchange. We frequently met him on the street since then and it is amusing to note the look of sur- prise on his face that we are still in existence regardless of the fact that he stopped his paper. Some day—and it won’t be long, either— that man-will turn up his toes. His heart will be stilled forever. Neigh- bors and friends will follow his lifeless clay to the silent city and lay it to rest among the flowers. An obituary will -be published in these columns telling what a kind father, a good neighbor or heloved citizen he was—which the recording angel will overlook for charity’s sake—and in a very short time be forgotten. As he lies out there in the cold, cold graveyard, wrapped in the silent slumber of death, he will never know that the last kind words spoken of him was by the editor of the paper which in life he so spitefully “stopped.” Did you ever pause just a moment and think that your editor, whoever he may be, will write your obituary some davy? Kelliher Journal: Isn’t it about time the county was re-districted? As it now is the country from the south line of Blackduck township to the border has only one commis- sioner, by far too large a territory to be adequately represented by one commissioner. The northern part of the county should have a com- missioner and the Blackduck-Kel- liher territory is amply large for another. The county commissioners should re-apportion the county. OBSERVATIONS. LBy Doe." As to the ideal husbands: There never has been a man who could talk like a Laura Jean Libbey hero and make money as fast as Monte Cristo. Ambition is too often wigwagging in the distance while opportunity is pounding on the door, The Scranton woman who swal- lowed a hat pin while picking her teeth with it is probably glad now she didn’t use the monkey wrench. Letter postage between the United States and Great Britainis to be reduced. But what does that matter so long as they require a- 2-cent stamp on souvenir post cards? An American, Von Milevich by name, is in trouble in France. A while ago it wasan American, Perdi- caris, who needed help in Morocco. It is strange that no Americans named Smith, Jones or Robinson ever become entangled in complica- tions with foreign governments. It is the results of love at first sight that prove that love is blind. John D. Rockefeller declares that “his pictures always look terrible when taken in the sun.”. Do you recall having seen a picture of Mr. Rockfeller taken in the shade? HITCHCOCK TESTIFIES. Actor Takes the Witness Stand in His Own Defenase. New York, June 11.—Taking the witness stand in his own defense, Ray- mond Hitchcock, the actor, flatly de- nied the charges made against him that he had been improper in his con- duct with two young girls, Helen von Hagen and Bilsie Voecks. Hitchcock stated that he first met the Von Hagen girl in 1904 and that long afterward she recognized him at the Garden theater and asked to ride with him in his automobile. The ac- tor said he told the girl to ask her mother if she might go and she re- turned with Elsie Voecks, saying she had obtained consent to make the trip. Hitchcock said after reaching the house in Great Neck, L. I, he put the girls on a train for New York. The next time he saw the girls, the actor testified, was late one night standing on the steps of his house and that they said that their mothers knew where they were. The girls re- mained at his home that night. Later he met Elsie Voecks and Helen von Hagen on the street, he tes- tified, took them to the house on West Forty-first street and told them there that he heard that they had made re- marks reflecting on his character, which the two girls, he declared, de- nied. Hitchcock denied that his rela tions with either of the two girls had been improper. Flora Zabelle testified briefly, stat- ing that the time of the alleged oc: currences, - her husband told her of meeting the two young girls and of the automobile ride. Dog Saves Man From Death.

These charges, which have been rumored and com- mented on in the assembly have been made the basis of energetic action by Governor Sanders. He ordered that both houses take steps to appoint a special commission to investigate whether any money had been used or whether any such plans exist. He also ordered a special session of the grand jury immediately to investigate the corruption fund charges. Inter- est In the investigation was heightened because the anti-racing bill, known as the Locke bill, is posted for early ac- tion by the house. This bill would abolish absolutely all forms of betting on horse racing. It was generally conceded that the Locke bill would be passed by the house, but a fight had been predicted in the senate. By-a vote of 87 to 20 the Locke anti- racing bill was passed by the house of representatives of -Louisiana. The Dbill 1s now up to the senate and should it pass that body. it will put an end to the racing which has beon a fea- ture of the winter season in New Or- leans for almost a century. In conformity with Governor San- ders’ request the assembly passed a resolution providing for the appoint- ment of a committee of nine to inves- tigate the charges that money was be- ing used to influence action on the anti-racing bill.

Sioux Falls, 8. D., June 11.—Returns from the primaries throughout South Dakota are yet far from complete, but enough has been received to indicate that the progressive or insurgent Re- publicans, headed by Governar Coe I. Crawford, have swept the state and defeated the stalwart faction, headed by Senator Kittredge. It is likely full returns will show that the insurgents have carried the state by a majority not less than 3,000 to 4,000, and it may reach 5,000. That Qovernor Crawford has been nominated as a candidate to succeed Senator Kittredge appears certain. The stalwarts do not yet concede that they have been defeated. The fight was one of the hottest and most piec- turesque in the history of the state and was the culmination of a bitter fouryear struggle between the insur- gent and stalwart Republicans of South Dakota. Under the estimates thus far made State Senator W. G. Vessey of Water- town, the Crawford- candidate, will head the state Republican ticket in the coming election as the candidate for governor. g The vote on congressional candi- dates is much closer than in the oth- er contests and the final count may swing the nomination to either side.
