A e SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM STATE SHOULD SPEND MCRE FOR ADVER- TISING RESOURCES. Evidently some firms believe it does, for one patent medicine con- cern is spending $1,250,000 in advertising this year, and most of this sum goes to the so-called coun- try weeklies. Just another 'lnsta.ncf. Northwestern Canada spent in advertising in twelve months the sum of $450,000. and what did she get? Thousand and thousands of settlers and millions of dollars. On the other hand, Minnesota has been spending nothing to advertise the state’s resources, and what has she Zl;t for such a policy? The train loads of settlers who have gone to Canada know it only as a state through which most of them had to pass to reach their destination. Besides the state lost thousands of her own settlers.

Qlgveland, June 2 —The illness of Qongressman James S. Sherman, Re- pubMcan nominee for viee president, who has been 11l here at the residence of ex-Governer Myron T. Herrick since Sunday, assumed a serious phase when the patient suffered a severe chill Mr. Sherman’s iliness, which at first was diagnosed as a bilious attack, now turns out to have been caused by gall stones. Upon the ndvice of doo- tors who were called & attend the patient he was removed to Lakeside hospital. An operation may later be performed, but this step has not yet been fully decided upon. It was stated that Mr. Sherman suffered no ill ef- feets as a result of his journey from Mr. Herrick’s residence to the hos- pitel, which was made in an invalld 0. . Herrick communicated wite Mrs. Sherman over the long distance well we know that it has not. However, conditions are changing ing and there is hope for the future. —Thief Ruver Falls Press. The above sentiment is a correct one, for if there is one thing we believe in, it is in raising in our might and “hollering” about Minne- sota (more especially the northern part of the state) and telling the world, in no uncertain tones, that we have the richest commumty in this great and glorious land of the free, or any of King Edward’s do- mains either, for that matter. However, since the last session of the legislature, conditions have changed very materially for the better. The legislature of 1906-'07 created a bureau of _immigration, and later a commissioner of immi- gration, was appointed. George Welch was chosen to act as commis- sioner and instructed to use the limited means at his command for better advertising the state and especially for inducing settlers to come to Minnesota. The appropria- tion allowed the Lureau was entirely too small to make any great showing, long ways, and conditions are al-|sicians there is always danger of com- ready changing very materially. The trek Canadaward has been de- creased somewhat, and the land- hungry are begining to take note of Minnesota and her fertile acres. The next legislature should appro- priate a good large sum for the use of this department, and lend all help necessary to further carry on the work of advancing her interests. Republican State Convention. telephohe. She was greatly agitated upon hearing the condition of her hus- band and declared her intention of coming at once to Cleveland. An ef- fort to persuade her not to come at the present time failed and she and her son, Richard U. Shermau, an in- struotor in Hamjlton lege at Olin- ton, N. Y., started for this eity. 8imilar Attack Two Years Ago. Congressman Sherman suffered a similar attack in New York oity two years ago while serving as chairman of the Republican congressional cam- paign cemmittee. He was then seri- ously ill, but no operation was per- formed. At Lakeside hospital it is sald Mr. Sherman is resting quite comfortably, During the early hours of the morning the temperature of the patient roge to 102. Subsequently, however, hig phy- slolans announced that it had again become normal. Congressman Sher- man came here from Cincinnati last Sunday and at once went to the home of Mr. Herrick. There he was forced to his bed. The illness caused by gall stones is generally more painful than danger- ous. The stones form in the gall blad- der and if not dissolved by medica- tlon increase in size until they are too large to pass through the gall duct. Then it is often necessary to perform an operation and frequently the gall bladder is removed entirely. The op- eration itself s not necessarily dan- gerous. There 15 a large percentage plications.

He had # sudden sinking spell, gradually lost consciousness and could not be re- vived. The body will be shipped to New York June 27. New York, June 24.—Mr. Leeds was an American flnancier and was prom- Inently identified with the Rock Island power with regard to the presidential candidate, but said that where there was sufficient time before election to do so the committee would reasgemble the convention and have e nomination made in the regular way.

St. Paul, June 2,—Returns from caucuses in thirty counties of the state indicate that Jacobson has 251 votes for the gubernatorial nomina- tion, while Joel P. Heatwole is run- ning second with 77 and Attorney Gen- eral E. T. Young third with 60. Hennepin is claimed by two favorite sons, M. W. Savage and S. P. Snider, each of whom has hopes of coming off victor in the county convention Thurs- day. The primaries there resulted in & real contest and the other candi- dates kept their hands off. 5 It now promises to be the field against Jacobson when state conven- tion time rolls around and it is ‘al- ready being figured out how effective a combination can be made against the leader.

R While every one hopes that there will be no occasion to select another candidate for vice president by the Republicans there is no doubt that the national committee has authority to fill a vacancy in an emergency.
