It is very evident that the pre- tended Democratic glee over the out- look for the year’s elections must very soon change no doubt from the Democratic standpoint and to great confidence and hope on the Republi- can side. This change has come about not through one, but many causes. In the first place the gen- eral grumbling against President ‘T'aft, after all has been very similar to all first year experiences, is chang- ing to hearty commendations -and indorsements of the president per- sonally and his administration. Lincoln and Grant and Harrison and McKinley, and in fact every Repub- lican president were found fault with during a portion of their terms, but this eventually gave way to merited applause which came when the peo- ple found out the truth. The peo- ple are now finding out the truth about Piesident Taft. They are learning in the first place in spite of Democratic misrepresentation that the tariff law is most successful.

In a New York divorce court recently the judge took judical notice of the tip as one of the adjuncts of a waiter’s life. In reply to a question the defendant said: “Well. I get $29.50 in salary and perhaps $15 or $20 a month more in tips.” “You can’t expect me to believe that,” said the court in some heat, “for I dine at your restaurant often and I know that if a person gives a waiter a tip of less than $1 he is classed with the undesirables. ~Why, my salary of $7,000 a year is scarcely big enough to cover the expenses of tips.” Farm land in Towa is worth on an average $75.00 per acre. In Min- nesota the average value per acre in the central and northern parts of the state is not over one-third this amount. Last year Minnesota raised more crop per acre than Iowa in everytning tney raised including corn and apples. Now, Mr. Farmer, is very The man who has real “geniues rarely possesses anything else.

One of the quickest ways to get homesick is to stay there all the time. Kick Kills Hayrake Driver. Mayville, N. D., July 18.—Carl Feng: ler, employed on the Schlosser farm near this city, was killed by the kick of a horse. He was engaged in ope rating a horserake and had just un hitched his team when one of the ani- mals kicked him in the stomach. He came here only ten 'days ago from Aberdeen, S. D. GREAT DAMAGE IN INDIANA Untold Loss Caused by Destruction ot Crops. Terre Haute, Ind., July 18—Rain which has been falling in torrents for eighteen hours. has:flooded this en- tire section of/the country and has donevuntold damage to crops.

Bruce, Atlantic, Iowa, says: . “The only thing that I -am sorry for is that I did not take the Neal before and I cannot say enough for its wonderful results.

The Re- publicans of Minnesota, through accredited representatives, named a full ticket last week in St. Paul, and it is generally regarded as being the best-balanced ticket any political party ever offered to the citizens of Minnesota. It is not perfect—the ticket, we mean—but in view of all things it should be elected from top to bottom at the general election in November. The Pioneer honestly feels that such will be the resnlt. A FEROCIOUS DEBATE. If somebody should ask you quick- ly, “What’s the most ‘dangerous animal on earth” what would you say?” Lion? Tiger? Rhinocerous? or, as Roosevelt hints, the Africian water buffalo? Well it ain’t any of these, according to present alarmists. It’s the house-fly. So Dr. 'Jackson of Washington says. The pestifer~ ous fly, says the doctor, is the dirtiest vermin on earth and causes more deaths by transmitting disease than any other agency.
