Maurice Eastman, the only son of Alvah Eastman, editor of St. Cloud Journal-Press, died two weeks ago after an illness of eight months, He was twenty-four years of age and vice-president of the Journal Press company.

He was born of the love of power and suffered under William H. Taft; was crucified, dead and buried. He descended into Africa. The third year Be rose again from the jungle and ascended into favor and sitteth on the right hand of his party, whence he shall come to scourge the licked and the dead. ‘| believe in the Holy Outlook, the Big Stick, the Ananias club, the for- giveness of political aetivities, the resurrection of presidential ambitions and the third term everlastingly.— Amen, Amen, Amen.” Republican Cancuses, Notifications have been mailed to the members of the Republican coun- ty committee calling their attention to the precinct caucuses to be held May 7 and asking their co-operation in sending a delegation to Bemidji. These caucuses are of vital import- ance to every voter since it is the nearest approach that Minnesota has to a preferential primary. Those who do not go to the.caucus polling places and cast their ballot for .delegates to the county convention will Rave no word in' the' momination’ of the candidates when the flnal ticket is arranged. If a man has a right to vote a bal- lot, he has the right to make the bal- lot on which he shall vote. The man who takes no part in the caucus elec- tions and then when he comes to the polling booth on election days ob- jeets because of the two men named neither is satisfactory, has no reason to feel dissatisfied; for if he had done his duty in the first place, the result might and probably would have been different. The people of Minnesota should have a preferential primary law that will allow the voters to make their own ballots and make them free from machine dominated conventions. But such a one is not on the statute books at this time so that the caucus is the only opportunity the people will have of expressing their preferences. Every man owes it to himself as a citizen and voter to attend the cau- cuses and cast his ballot for good gov- ernment. Talk with the candidates and see for whom they will stand if elected to the county and state con- ventions. Then go in and vote for the right man. ‘Would the women attend the cau- cuses if they had the right to vote? They certainly would! Will the men do less on May 7? Flower Pot Coverings. Although there is nothing really objectionable in & plain earthenware flower pot, there are many girls whq like to have plants in thelr rooms but who object to the sight of the prdc. tical pot and cannot afford an orna mental one. In that case they may make quite an artistic cover from paper, which can be changed as soon as it is dis. colored by the dampness of the earth, To facilitate changing, narrow rib. bons of the color of the paper should be cut for the top and bottom of the pot and fitted with dome fastemersg or hooks and eyes. These girdles can be quickly taken off, and they look much neater and are firmer than a ribbon tied around the gathered paper.

Why He Was Late. “What made you so late?” “I met Smithson.” “Well, that is no reason why you should be an hour late getting home to supper.” “I know, but I asked him how he was feeling, and he insisted on tel- ling me about his stomach trouble.” “Did you tell him to take Cham- berlain’s Tablets?” “Sure, that is what he needs.” Sold by Barker’s Drug Store.
