Eber- hart is credited with the statement that he will not use his office to pro- mote his own personal . ambition, and his actions, so far, seems to indicate it. Every good citizen of the state, no matter what may be his political faith, will wish him success in the proper performance of the functions of that office. A person, who from selfish or political reasons hopes that his administration will prove a failure, has not the interest of this commonwealth at heart. Every line in a newspaper costs the proprietor something, says the Thief River Falls Press. If it is for the benefit of the individual it should be paid for. If the grocer were asked to contribute groceries to one abundantly able to pay for them, he would refuse. The proprietor of a newspaper must pay for the free advertising if the beneficiary does not, and yet it is one of the hardest things to be learned by many, that a newspaper has space in its columus to rent, and must rent them to live. To give away rent for anything less than living rates isas fatal toa newspaper as for a landlord to furn- ish rent free. J. ). HILL MENTIONED FOR GOVERNOR. The Fergus Falls Journal brings out James J. Hill, the venerable rail- way magnate, as good timber for the Minnesota “‘insurgents” to nominate for governor. The Journal says that Mr. Hill is all right on -the tariff, and with conservation of the soil and liquor and a reduction of oper- ating expenses as a platform, that paper believes that Mr. Hill could sweep the state. While Mr. Hill would undoubtedly make a strong candidate for gover- nor, the proposition of running for the state’s chief executive would undoubtedly be turned down in an emphatic manner, if presented to Mr. Hill. The Great Northern presi- dent has a very level head, and he would be very acceptable to a large majority of conservative Minne- sotans who know him and are sure that he would be fair in his handling of the people’s affairs. CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] The American people, weary of Arctic controversy, will please rise and sing with one accord, James Montgomery’s lines, Oh.where shall rest be found, Rest for the weary soul? 'Twere vain the ocean’s depths to sound, * Or plerce to either pole. The beef trust is playing for high steaks. The heading “Football Results” does not necessarily imply a casualty list. Itis reported that Hearst, in his candidacy for mayor of New York, will only fuse with those who adopt his principles. By the way, what are Hearst’s principles? LIPTON ARRIVES IN NEW YORK Wants Another Chance to Lift the America’s Cup. New York, Oct. 26.—Sir Thomas Lipton, accompanied by Colonel Dun- can F. D. Neill, arrived here on the Cedric.

DENOUNGES SELFISH - RICH Chicago Pastor Says They Are Worse Than Anarchists. Chicago, Oct. 26.—Some of the Wwealthiest persons in Chicago, mem- bers of the fashionable St. James' Kpiscopal church, sat in their pews and heard their pastor, Rev. James S. Stone, uttsr a bitter den\mciatinn of zhe rich as a class. Dr. Stone asserted that the rich are proue to be selfish and that the sel- fish rich are a greater evil than an- archy and socialism combined. Furthermore, the pastor asserted, if it were not for the leaven of right- eousness presented by the few rich who have some conception of their stewardship of riches society would, indeed, he in a bad, bad way. TAFT OPFOSES “PORK BARREL” Explains His Position on Waterway Improvement. AGAINST BIG-BOND- ISSUE Objects to Use of Public Appropria: tions to Secure the Election of Any Particular Congressman or to -Make Any One Section of the Country Prosperous During the Expenditure of Such Moneys. St. Louls, Oct. 26.—On the eve of beginning a journey down the Missis- sippi river to New Orleans as a part of the exploitation for a system of{- deed inland waterways President Taft declared in an address at the Coli- seum here that his stand in favor of the issue of bonds for corrying out approved waterway improvement proj- ects does not mean the opening of a “pork barrel” to send back any par- ticular member of congress or to make any particulas section of the country prosperous during the expenditure of the money. Mr. Taft sai¢ he opposed any such gencral bond issue of $500,000,000 or $1,000,000,000 for waterways improve- ment, the money to be cut up and parceled out to different sections. On. cross-examination the dealers testified the price of binders advanced $10.50 after the_company'was organ- ized. Attorney General Major also developed that the haryester company controls about 85 per cent of the busi- .ness in farm implements.

Talks About Panama. Canal. At breakfast Mr. Taft was a guest of the St. Louis Commercial club and in a brief "speech he congratulated himself, he said, on the fact that he bad ‘suggested to the Commercial clubs of St. Louis and other cities that they make a visit to Panama and in- spect the work being done on the ca- nal there. The clubs had accepted the suggestion and had gone and the coun- try at large had felt certain it could not be fooled and the report the clubs had made on the work had left the administration in a “comfortable sit- uation.” Up to that time President Taft de- clared shrieks of threatened scandals had been mads about the work on the isthmus, but after the report had been published the matter was treat- ed with sobriety and calmmness, with ‘which such a government undertaking should be treated. RAINS TWENTY-SIX INCHES All Records Broken During Recent Philippine Storm. Manila, Oct. 26—Some storm rec- ords were broken in the recent ty-| phoon whick crossed Northern Luzon and the Benguet imountains.

Clay Center, Neb., Oct. 26.—A dou- ble tragedy, accepted by the authori- ties as a murder and suicide, was dis- closed when a farmer four miles from here found the dead bodies of Leroy Foster and Miss Inez Cox in a buggy.

Rolfe, Ia., Oct. 26.—Sticks of dyna- mite were found by threshers in sev- eral oat bundles which they were about to hurl into the whirling grind- ers of the threshing machine.

PIGTURESQUE FIGURE IN POLITIGS GONE Death of Senafor Patrick Me- Garren of Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Oct. 2 .—In the death of Senator -Patrick H. McCarren ' of Brooklyn, who succumbed following an operation for appendicitis, Greater New York loses its most picturesque political leader. Senator McCarren, who was sixty years old on the 18th of last June, ‘was the absolute master of the Brook- Iyn Democracy since 1903, when he overthrew the old leader, Hugh Mec: Laughlin. He had been a power for years before that, but: with the fall ot McLaughlin McCarren became some- thing more than a local figure. He grew suddenly to the full stature of a boss, became a national figure, a man to reckon with when presidents ‘were nominated. For six years he held the Demo- cratic organization in Kings county gripped in his fingers. He held it against Tammany raids, the rebellion of district leaders, the furious as- saults of pulpit and press and not in- frequently against the consequences of his own acts—but he held it. He never knew when he was licked and never gave an inch against the most determined attacks. Whatever charges were flung at McCarren because of his acts as a legislator or as a politician nobody ever refused him credit for certain clearly defined quzlities. His industry never flagged. He hated cant and pretense and for the most part the senator preferred absolute frankness and truth telling in dealing with friends or enemies. Whenever he couldn’t see his way clear to tell the truth he chewed a dry cigar and smiled very slightly. His courage was unbounded. Aged Woman Robbed of $6,300. Omaha, Oct. 2 .—Mrs. Thomas S. ‘Wendt, sixty-five years old, was robbed of $6,300 in currency while she was doing a neighbor’s washing.

Druggist Barker submits the following to the readers of the Pioneer: For several years we have -an- nounced, with our recommenda- tion, that we had found a positive cure for eczema; a simple skin wash, o1l of wintergreen com- pounded with other healing in- gredients. Yet we know there are people right here in this town who have eczema, and still have never med this remedy. Wehave,therefore arranged with the D. D. D. Laboratories of Chi- cago for a special offer of a trial bottle at 25 cents instead of the g$1.00 bottle as regularly sold. We offer this trial bottle with our recommendation and assur- ance that just as soonas the patient washes his itching skin, this mild liquid will take the itch away instantly.
