The man who wrote “My Wifes Gone to the Country,” has just been divorced. He ought to have been sentenced to sing his song on a desolate isle. Meat is becoming more fashion- able as diet in Japan, and we may expect to see prices raised because of the increased demand. And maybe rice will go down. Noticing the little rift in the con- gressional insurgent band the Wash- ington Star remarks: “Regular in- surgents and insurgent insurgents are preparing for a fiight among themselves.” Mr. Rood, or the man who did the guessing for the Sentinel, is a poor guesser when he accuses the Pioneer of making the complaint to the postoffice department of the Sentinel’s contest. What an awful disposition a man must have to excite himself to such an extent that his mind will dictate what appeared in the Sentinel April 1. A man must also have a miser- able conscience when he commences to judge others’ work by his. Because somebody made a com- plaint that the Sentinel contest was violating the postal laws, Mr. Rood or his company is just narrow-minded enough to immediately accuse the Pioneer of doing this. The poor man probably wrote the article hastily or without investigating the matter, or it may be that it’s ignor- ance pure and simple. We'll forgive Mr. Rood for such silly bableand when he learns who entered the complaint against the Sentinel’s contest he may have sense enough to retract what was said in the recent article. The public knows, the postoffice department knows, and if Mr. Rood has awakened by this time, be also should know that the Pio- neer knew nothing whatsoever of the complaint when it was made. The public will also undemfl that owing to the fact that the Sentinel did not dare to publish anything regarding the contest in its last issue that there must be a nigger in the woodpile somewhere. If Mr. Rood’s contest was on the square why did he withhold his contest anouncement of this week? NORTHERN MINNESOTA AWAKE. IF EVERY Duluthian should travel about the northern part of Minnesota these days, stop at the fine, thrifty cities and talk with their people, as well as with those he meton the trains, his heart would be mighty glad for his city and his state. For one thing, he would see, first of all, everywhere along the line of every road, new farms, increased acreage broken, new buildings and the evident air of prosperity. In every town and city, from the little way station to the county seat, he would see growth and that well- groomed, well-kept, clean and suc- cessful look that begets its own kind. If by chance he had not passed that way in five or ten years, he would be amazed at what the interval had accomplished. The single store at the way station has become a village, the village a little city, big school houses, new stations, brick blocks, handsome bank build- ings, well-kept hotels and all the et ceteras, show how community life has responded to the overturning and cropping of the soil. Everywhere 1s progress, and yet more progress, and everywhere the spirit of optimism, with the firm belief that Northern Minnesota’s time has come. Lverywhere, too, is organization. Itis a mighty small city that has not yet been touched by the electric spark of doing for itself, and so has not its commercial club. The farmers are getting together. They are rightly reasoning that what co-operation has done for their milk, it can do for vegetables and other products. Finally, the Duluthians would find that every one has heard of the awakening in this city; that Duluth is promoting agriculture and is interested in making a market here. They are all looking to Duluth, all are anxious to get in touch with Duluth, and there is a consequent growing feeling of good will toward this city. Those who work together for a common object in which each will share the profit are partners. Duluth and Northern Minnesota must be partners, in'this business of buying and selling. Duluth must furnish the market for what the farmers have to sell, and it will find among the farmers a reciprocal market.— i Duluth News-Tribune. We would not think we had so many dead friends if they were alive and had chances to dissapoint us. Money can do lots, but it cannot cause a new tooth to grow in your face. The woman who hesitates is not yet born. One great trouble with a man partially drunk is that he always wants to impress his sobriety on the policeman.
