In an announcement which has just been issued by George D. Mc- Carthy, who was recently elected sec- retary of the Northern Minnesota De- velopment association, he says: “The Northern Minnesota Development as- sociation during the year 1915 will, we hope, continue to be the zreatest force in northern Minnesota for the development of the agricultural re- sources of our section of the state. The changes made in the plan of op- \ eration at the Brainerd meeting will made merely to cut down the cost of operation. We shall continue to ad- vertise the resources of northern Min- nesota. We shall continue to work with all other forces that are adver- tising our counties, whether individ- uals, railroads, associations, counties or the state. We shall endeavor to bring to northern Minnesota the best forces we are able to find for the fur- thering of this work. We need your help in the future as we have in the past. I am sure that you will not withhold it.” The Case of Leo Frank. The case of Leo Frank, convicted in Georgia of murder, which now comes before the United States su- preme court in the shape of habeas corpus proceedings, comes pretty near being a trial of the constitution 12 the United States, with the high-! est court divided against itself as to power to render complete justice. On previous appearance before the United States supreme court, the lat-! ter refused to interfere with the ac- although ' tion of the lower courts, Justice Holmes took occasion to re- mark that Frank had evidently been convicted without ‘“due process of law.” In other words, it is all right to hang Frank in defiance of his con- stitutional rights. And the court in whose especial care the constitution is supposed to rest is powerless to interfere. There is no honest court on God’s earth but will decide that Frank did not have a fair trial, says the Mad- ison State Journal. It is not dispu- ted that the trial judge and the jury were in a state of terror lest verdict should not be guilty of mur- der in the first degree. Frank was hated because he was a successful Jew and the atrocity of the crime aroused public clamor for bloody vengeance. the All the circumstances have a Rus- sian oder. While this case has aroused uni- versal interest, the guilt or inno- cence of Frank is no longer the main question. On one hand we have pnub- lic clamor for a man’s life, defeat- ing a fair trial. On the other hand we have the highest court in land powerless through technical en- tanglements to secure for a citizen a fair trial for his life. Mistakes of the court of final re- sort in arriving at justice may be un- avoidable, and they may be forgiven, but when the court for any reason admits that it is powerless to protect any man, Jew or Gentile, in his con- he stitutional right to a fair trial for his | life, the odium is smeared on the con- stitution.

The manner in which the pecple i ted on the amendments does not show up for the initiative and ref- egéndum. If people would take no more interest in laws or vote no more intelligently on them than they do on constitutional amendments, the initiative and refendum would be of little consequence. Besides the pro- they were | posed laws would be more compli- cated than amendments are.—Slay- ton Gazette. —— The people of Minnesota are ex- pecting that Governor Hammond will accomplish many reforms in our state government within the mnext year. They are probably expecting too much of him. It is impossible for him to work many radical re- forms in our state governmeut in a few months. Much will depend on the state legislature and if the vo- ters of the state have sent a lot of the reactionaries and radical partis- ans to the legislature, Governor Ham- mond cannot make reformers of such material.—Faribault Pilot, - PV — A new game law that should be passed by all states would contain the following: “Book agents may be shot bétween Oct. 1 and Sept. 1; |spring poets from March' 1 June 1: |automobile speed demons from Jan. 51 to Jan. 1; road hogs from April {15 to April 15; amateur hunters from {Sept 1 to Feb. 1; war talkers, no iclosed season; any man who accepts la, paper for two years and then, when the bill is presented, says: ‘I never ordered it,” may be killed on sight kand shall be buried face downwards (m quicklime so as to destroy the germs and prevent the spread of the infection.”—Deerwood Times. CRITICAL MOMENTS. What the war teaches. Every life has its critical moments. There are times when a man’s health is staked upon the care he gives to it within a few hours. His system may be run down, blood laden with bhilious poison and lungs or skin af- fected. Twenty-four hours after you start to take Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, poisonous matter and blood impurities begin to leave your body through the Liver, Bowels, Kid- neys and Skin. So powerfully penetrating is this purely vegetable remedy that through the circulation of the blood it reaches every fibre, musc'e and joint, dissolves the poiscnous secretions and drives them out of the body. It brings new activity to the liver, stomach and bowels in a short time, thus causing sallowness, indigestion and constipation to disappear. It enters the tiny blood vessels of the skin, bringing with it fresh vi- . talizer blood, and abiding faith in its wonderful cleansing power has come to thousands, when pimples, boils, carbuncles, rash, eczema, acne and other skin troubles dry up and disappear. Good blood means good health; gond health means strong men and women, full of vigor and ambition, with. minds alert and musecles ever willing. Any medicine dealer will pply you with Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery in either liquid or tablet form.

Christmas will be worthily kept by us in proportion as our hearts glow with Christithe feelinge. Cetrangements should melt in the warmth of Christmas gratitude to God. ket it be a sweet, forgiving time—a time for the doing of blsssed charttics. Because Christmao stande for the child, as the father of the man, and for the cradle, as the onc point where futurity i vulnerable, it will yet usher in the golden age. To produce an tdesl world we nced only one thing—s Christmas that lasts all the year. IF Christ had never been born there would have been no Christmas, and where now 18 hely light would abide a great shadow. and where now s sweet and eacred Joy would be sadness and tears. If Christ bad never been born the world would have bereft ftocif of the love and the light of Goa. (e Cooks in one-third the time . IF you like macaroni, you will like Creamettes. The. real difference is that Creamettes is more tender, has a rich new flavor of its own, and cooks in a much shorter time. . Ordinary macaroni, as you know, takes from 30 to 36 minutes to cook. - Cream- ettes cooks in from b to 8 minutes. Try it with cheese, with ham, with bacon, with tomatoes, or with nuts.

Instead of a Christmas Tree. into different rooms of the house and hidden in such a way that they could not be found without considerable searching. On Christmas day a.small boy of the family dressed in the costume of a One family who were over the stock- ing hanging age decided last Christmas that they could not have a tree. The children were disappointed and feared a stupid day. An ingenious sister solved the prob- lem of gift giving in a somewhat novel way. She asked all the members of the family to wrap their gifts for each other into neat packages, direct them plainly and leave them in the library on Christmas eve. No one was told what was to be done with the packages, and each member was sworn to secrecy, so that she did not know that the others’ presents were to go into the library also. The girl divided them into groups, baving one gift for each member of CI®istmas herald of Elizabethan days went through the house every hour during the day blowing a trumpet and proclaiming that a Christmas bunt would be held in a certain room. The family had a merry time until all the gifts were found anc opened and enjoyed them in a leisurely way until the next visit of the herald an bour later. As the family was a large one, the excitement was prolonged well into the evening. and all voted it a much more interesting way of giving presents than the family included in a given lot. The [to have them all in the morning stock- separate collections were then mkenl ings or hung on the Christmas tree.
