Mr. Clark should be assured that he can keep going at the same old pace in full assurance that it will not over-take him. It is to be noticed that the enter- prising town of Clearbrook with its enterprising newspaper and live hustling editor, is not losing an op- portunity to boost and pull boom Clearbrook. Throughout the last issue of the Clearbrook Journal are found locals calling attention to and what lines of business are needed in this fast growing little city. Albert of this paper, is demonstrating that he is the right kind of a man to conduct the speak- ing organ of a new community. Anderson, editor winter; 75 i bill stronger than he hag been at ‘any other time since his inauguration. He may continue to grow in strength and popularity. Democrats can make no greater blunder-than to assume that they will have a walk- over in 1912.” Our people are fairminded and of more than ayerage intelligence. They admire and respect the present administration under whose reign {the most important measures that have come up during the past twenty years, were, made laws. The World does well to attempt to save its party from the sharp dis- appointment which would follow un- expected defeat in 1912.

Not So Important Now. " And now the Honorable Do Noth- ing, who has been legislating for the people for the past ninety days, and has been swelled up by his own im- portance to beat “Bob Smiley’s frog,” has reached home, and a great littleness comes over him. It comes over his con- stituents, too.—St. Cloud Times. Value of Good Roads. A good country road is always to be desired and is a source of comfort and convenience to every traveler. Good roads attract population, as well as good schools and churches. Good roads improve the value of the property so that it is said that a farm lying five miles from market, con- nected by bad roads, is of less value than an equally good farm lying ten miles away from market, connected by a good road. A larger load can be hauled by two horses over a good road than by four over a bad road. Good roads encourage the greater exchange of products and commodi- ties between one section and another.—Rothsay Enterprise. Restricting Representation. We cannot believe that the voters of this state will ever ratify the ac- tion of the legislature in passing the proposing a Constitutional amendment to limit the representa- tion of state senators in the large cities to seven members. The aver- age voter's sense of justice is too strong to permit him to support such abroposition, even though he should be the gainer by the adoption of the ‘What valid argument can be advanced in support of a mea- sure which, in granting the right of representation, distinguishes be- tween the citizen of the country dis- Shall the ma- amendment. trict and the city?

The matinee performance was about balf over when a distracted looking woman with a curly haired youngster of six sought out the man in the box office. “There are boxes on your chairs in there.” she began; “and they sdy drop a nickel in and get a box of candy.” “Yes, I see,” asserted the man in'the box office. “Well,” she continued indignantly, “I dropped a nickel in for my little girl.” “And couldn’t you get the candy?” queried the box office man. “Wait; I'll see if we can get it out.” “Oh, yes,” answered the woman; “1 got the candy all right, but I couldn’t get the nickel out.” And to the ticket man at least this remark furnished a more dramatic mo- ment than any in the play.—Louisville Times.
