Shop early. It is now only 23 days and a cou- ple of hundred dollars until Christ- mas. Sheep prices continue to soar up- ward. Mutton, mutton, who'se got the mutton? Minnesota won the apple prize at Spokane. This entitles Minnesota to pose as the bread and applebutter state. President Taft says he doesn’t now feel that his famous Winona speech was just what it should have been. Jim Tawney, as usual, agrees with the president. From Minneapolis newspapers we gain the impression that the theory that it is healthful to sleep out ‘of doors is correct, for the Minneapolis newspapers coo over the assertion that its policemen are the strongest in the country. THE McNAMARAS GUILTY. Sad as was the tragedy resulting from the murderous acts of the Mc- Namara brothers, the fact remains that good will result from the pun- ishment of these two low specimens of a particularly revolting band of Union labor, although temporarily a sufferer, will in the end gain, because from now on the great organizations of the country’s best and most skillful workers will not be so guillible and will not jump with such haste to assume that such men are innocent. “Stop working for a day” and “a million dollar defense fund” are cries raised in connection with the McNamara affair that in the future probably will sensibly be lack- ing. As for the McNamaras, no tears of sympathy need be shed. Not only did they betray their unions but they plotted and executed the most das- tardly and cowardly crimes. James B. McNamara’s sickly effort for sym- pathy by the assertion that he did not wish to cause his brother pain comes as a ghastly joke in view of his act of having slaughtered in the dead of night 21 innocent persons criminals.

TAFT WILLING. President Taft, on the threshold of. the campaign of 1912 has authorized the following announcement: I am very grateful for the honors the people have given me. I do not affect to deny the satisfaction I should feel if, af- ter casting up the-totals pro-and con, and striking a balance they should decide that my first term had been fruitful enough of good to warrant their enlisting me for another. Any man would be proud of such a verdict. But I have not been willing, nor shall I be, to purchase it at the sacri- fice of my freedom to do my duty asT see it. My happiness is not dependent on holding any office; and I shall go back to private life with no heartburnings if the’ people, after an unprejudiced review of my administration, conclude that some one else can serve them to their greater ad- vantage. Thus does the president with all and frankness which Americans admire most, state his po- 'sition regarding his personal de- sires for the campaign soon to open. The president admits an unhappy phraseology of his Winona speech but still stands behind the Payne tariff measure and insists that the Repub- lican party has redeemed its pledges, and that he is willing to abide by the verdict of the voters on his four years of office. 4 THE ROAR OF THE RAPIDS. On Friday of this week the North- ern Minnesota Development associa- tion meets in the city of St. Cloud. That gathering marks a danger spot in the history of that organiza- tion and if destroying rapids are to be averted every friend of the North had better lend all possible aid in steering the craft through a safe channel. i There is more at stake in taking a definite, decided and dignified, stand on reapportionment than merely re- apportionment. If the St. Cloud convention dodges the issue, or thwarts the real de- sires and demands of the North, the Northern Minnesota Development as- sociation will find itself beating against the rocks. In Bemidji, its birthplace, the or- ganization hoisted the reapportion- ment banner; at Crookston it rallied beneath its folds and Brainerd re- apportionment was, by all odds, the paramount issue. If St. Cloud surrenders the fight; with what disgust must the citizens of the North view the proceedings. And if the white flag is run up, what will happen to good roads, im- migration and the other things for which the Development association has been fighting? ‘Will the North continue to rally be‘hi}m an organization that is ready to wilt on the direst need of its peo- ple? We believe the voice of the North will be so loud at St. Cloud that op- position will be swept aside and that the association will be stronger and better than ever.

'When- ever I do wrong, with malicious in- tent, then I feel-for a while like a counterfeit cent; I would swap my- self off for g watch made of brass, I haven’t the: courage to look in the glass. But when I do right, then how chesty I feel! The village is filled with my jubilant spiel. I feel that a feather-is placed in myh ood, and I guess I am right, for it pays to be good. Oh what are the things of particular worth? And what are the prizes we gain ‘on earth? They are not the gems- that go clinkity clank, they are not the bundles we have in the bank. Respect of our neighbors, the love of our friends, some credit up there where the fir- mament bends—these things are the guerdon for which we should strive, they give us an object in being alive. And you’ll never gain them, as gain them you should, unless you believe that it pays to be good.”—Walt Ma- son, KKK KK KKK KKK KK * Something You'Don’t Know. * KK KKK FK KK KKK KK Ontario, Canada, has at present thirty-six co-operative societies. - According to the latest Uncle Sam’s “farm-hand” pay roll represents $645,612,000.
