Because the candidates are on the home stretch, is no reason why they should stretch the truth, Two inches of snow has fallen in southern Minnesota. Nothing per- sonal intended, Mr. Gray. If it is true that barking dogs never bite, the editor of the Bemidji Sentinel doesn’t need a muzzle. A Hibbing policeman mistook an intoxicated man for a bear, and all the Bruins in the woods are highly indignant. The Cass Lake Times reiterates its insinuation that Bemidji is a wicked place and the Times certain- ly ought to know a wicked place when it sees one. ) Calamities never come one at a time in the west. The forest fires of Minnesota were followed by the defeat of Chicago by Philadelphia in the World’s series, It took that London jury just twenty-nine minutes in which to find Dr. Crippen guilty. Doc is a den- tist and very man, at one time or another, has had his teeth filled. J. L. Harper, a practical farmer at Waitsburg, Wash , has succeeded in producing sufficient seed of an unknown variety of wheat to sow one and a balf acres to what is de- clared to be the hardiest grain grown in the Northwest. Experts and master agriculturists have not been able to classify the grain, though they say it is likely to be- come a heavy producer. The head is similar to Club wheat, but the grain is harder. Harper found seven stalks on his 1,020 acre ranch near Waitsburg four years ago and from five stalks, which were carefully cul- tivated in a garden patch for two years, he made six pecks, which will be sown next spring. Harper claims itis sufficiently hardy to grow in any partof the United States and Canada. OUR AMBIDEXTROUS COUNTY AUDITOR. Deceit, false statements, bigotry, flashy political circula rs built on dis- torted facts, or worse; bitter, untruth- against nominated candidates, sweeping and unearned claims of competence and ful accusations regularly economy do not combine in the erection of a very strong political platform for a man to stand on who bas, by a vote of the people ata primary election, been informed that his services in behalf of the public are no longer needed. Mr. Royal C. Hayner, our present county auditor, is an ambidextrous individual, to say nothing of his versatility which scintilates in poli- tical realms never before illuminated even by a disappointed nominee, des- perate in his determination to hold public office. There was a time when the Pio- neer believed Mr. Hayner to be a consciencious servant of the people, and we are still charitably enough to believe that he has beenm, but lust for office holding has shattered his better nature and ashe stands now in the glare of the mid day of the political campaign a character is revealed which has no place as an official in our courthouse. He has repeatedly assailed the good name and unsullied reputa- tion of his ‘properly nominated, Republican opponent, James L, George; he has become notorious for his unfounded claims to deeds never done, and seals his doom, so far as the Pioneer is concerned when he attempts to cajole the voters into boosting him into office by means of the ¢sticker” route, A candidate who will go so far as to say that his office has been passed upon by the public exami- ner when, in fact, such an official has never examined the auditor’s office and who, even though he had, would not have dared to give out such information deserves the defeat which awaits him. WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY | Margaret a Prisoner. Lost—Gold watch with Margaret inside. Return to St. Mary’s Home —Davenport Times. Can't Burn Postmaster's Pluck. Since the fire, the postmaster in Baudette has been stamping letters with the head of a rai'road spike. Something more than a forest fire is necessary to nonplus a pioneer like postmaster Dahlquist.—Roseau Re- gion. Be Careful About Placing the Heart. A crust of bread, a pitcher of water a log cabin ‘and perfect love —there is happiness for you, wheth- er the day be rainy or shiny. Itis the heart that makes the home, whether the eye rests on a potato patch or flower garden. The heart makes home precious, and it is the{} only thiog that can. Home is where the heart is—Erskine Ecko. Hats Off to the Heroes! Order is coming out of the confu- sion in the fire district of northern Minnesota. Aid has been freely ten- dered to the settlers, and much has been begun. The dead embers of destroyed homes have been raked aside, and new homes will take the | place of the old ones. Tears for the dead, brief regrets for the fruits of earlier endeavor destroyed, then a new start, with hope and courage, and with faces to the front.—Grand Forks Herald. Should Get Proper Focus First. We lose sight of many (hings‘by bolding them too clcss to the eye This the state has done and is now doing when it estimates the total of its growing school fund and misses the simgle fact that under present methods of administration of the state land, the fund grows only by wringing blood money out ot the set- tler through a method of opening up that does not develop markets, that does not provide roads, nor schools, nor society, that does not acquaint the settler with the possi- bilit.es of his land, but that does levy upon him and upon his children the unseen but no less gigautic tax of creating all these things, to the en- hancement of the values of adjacent state lands.—Two Harbors Journal News. More Acting; Less Talkihg. Like county .option, the pro- tection of settlers from forest fires is up to the legislature. The gov- ernor, whether Republicar or Democratic, can do nothing for either but talk and sign bills. One talks whole libraries about county option and says little about fire protection. The other has been talking conservation till tke cows come home, but economizes speech about county option, This will not save a home or alife. A whole summer’s talk two years ago did not produce an effective law from the legislature, A whole summer’s talk this year lett the settlers naked of protection of a single forest ranger when the fiery death crept upon them. We should like to rouse the people of the North to the grim fact that nobody will do anything but talk for them but themselves, Let them organize to elect a body of men who will press fire pro- tection upon the legislature and block every political job till they get real legislation, That is the way bad bills are put through; why not use it for good bills? The North is going to get re-ap- portionment next session after ten years of uunjust denial. Why? Because it roused public senti- ment, held local and general con- ventions, pledge dcandidates and is seeing to their election. No senator or representative should be elected from the North now who is not pledged 10 press fire protection legislation first of all, and combine to refuse a hear- ing to any other legistation till the whole body consents to this.— Minneapolis Tribune. Bunyan’s -Wicket Gate. In the village of Elstow there Is abundant material that is visibly asso- ciated with John Bunyan. The fsolat- ed church tower contains the very bells: in the ringing of which Bunyan rejoiced and afterward trembled, Above all there must be mentioned the wicket gate which figures early in the story of “Pilgrim’s Progress.” The wicket gate of “‘Pilgrim’s Progress” is commonly ‘represented as a- garden gate or a turnpike gate, but really the term denotes a small doorway cut out of'a large door. Concealed behind a tree at the west eud of Elstow church is just such a small doorway in the broad wooden surface of the great door. Through this lowly - opening Bunyan must often have passed when & boy.—Harper's Weekly. i ey ‘claimed Phyllis, “listen to the hush!"— Kickapoo Worm Killer makes play- ful children.

The other afternoon his older sister made another attempt to interest him in this duty.

His sister, secretly plensed with her success, stole a glance at him, when. to the consternation of the family, he sprang up, shouting gleefully: “Oh, Sis, you're:it' [ saw you peep!” —Woman’s Home Companion.
