Of more than passing. interest is this item from the Kelliher Journal: “The threshing machine purchas- ed by Henry Folk of Firman arriv- ed at the depot on- Saturday -and was unloaded Monday,. and :then started on its way to Firman.- This machine stands for advancement in this country, and we. believe that it will not be many years before. there will be need for a number of .such machines in this country, . Mr.. Folk is to be congratulated upon . having the first machine around. Kelliher, and we hope he will find it.a paying investment.” Itisa great day for Northern Minnesota when traction engines be- gin to dolge the trees. The Journal is right when it says. that the thresher stands for advancement in this country. It means that the hum of the threshing machine it to re- place the song of the saw. AND NOW FOR THE FIGHT. By a vote of 85 to 31 the Minne- sota House of Representatives said in no uncertain tones that this state is entitled to, and by the pledges of political party and state constitution, must have, a reapportionment along fair and impartial lines; a reappor- tionment based on a population basis. Now the bill goes to the senate. There has been a good deal said about the danger of the bill before this body. In what by many was considered a test vote, the senate is recorded against reapportion- ment, but nearly all the . senators declare that only a vote on the measure will reveal to the public the real attitude of the senate. Those who ought to know say that if the bill passed by the house had been presented ts the senate be- fore the “1914” talk began, it would have passed with votes to spare. As it is, someone has started the agita- tion for a bill that is not to go into - | beautiful THE BE““]‘" n‘"_Y PI“IEE“ his declaration at the Brainerd con- vention of the ‘Northern Minnesota D:velnpment association to the effect that unless a fair reapportionment bill is passed that he would assemble he legislature in- extraordinary . ses-| Eatord n e Potettiosat emi]l, Bavscets, o0 sosmd 2100 fOF: the ipurpose of:passiog . such tloes mattor. +fa bill.

Chippewas Faitbanks, effect until 1914, and this agitation is apt to cause trouble. Friends of the bill declare that any effort to alter the house bill will endanger reapportionment and that to attempt to make the bill take effect in 1914 is to attempt to break the pledges of pclitical parties ignore the constitution and thwart the honest demands of a long suffer- ing public.

He just bad submitted one of his very best productions to.an unfeeling editor, who had rebuffed him in these gentle words: “l wish there was a law about poets’ licenses like the dog license law. If 1 had my way a poet would have to take out a license-every year and those who didn't would be killed.”— New York Press, 't shines.
