Chairman Porter of the house committee on foreign affairs is another legislative official, who has expressed himself on .the reasons for the resignation of Secretary of State Lansing, saying: s ‘;gl am not inclined to accept this new and novel intex:preta- tion of organic law. N “There is nothing in the Constitution which prohibits mem- bers of the president’s cabinet from meeting .and discussing any departmental matter. If we accept the president’s construction of the Constitution, it would be a violation thereof for two of the secretaries to hold a conference in the absence of the president. “Mr. Lansing has served Mr. Wilson faithfully during both of his terms as president, and in due consideration of his rights 1 think the president should have asked for his resignation on the ground that they did not agree on the policies to be pursued by the state department, and not to have dismissed him in this harsh way.” 2 It is at least to the credit of Governor Edwards of New Jersey that he doesn’t want any of the forbidden stuff for himself. . He is a total abstainer.—Minneapolis Tribune. But he doesn’t seem to care a continental whether depravefl human creatures get polluted or not, and the governor ha Wilson’s support. Qe Now that about every state has its favorite son in the wild and wooly presidential scramble, it is time for the cities, towns and villages to trot ’em out. Who's ours? The Exchange Editor By Cyv Perkins, Jr. Interesting Stories—Real and Unreal—as Told by the Editors of the Press of Northern Minnesota—Retold, Rehashed and Commented On by This Editor LET’'S LIVE AND LET LIVE. Don’t jump at the assumption that the poor emperor of Austria has enough to live on even with his salary reduced to $750,000 a year. May be it’s German money.—Crookston Times. 7R R Just the same, if Lord Grey belonged to the United States government instead of the British government, we rather think something would be done about that treaty.—Crookston Times. o NO ARGUMENT TO THIS. Isn’t it about time for the government to practice that thrift which it has preached for the past five years?—Daily Virginian. S R S A COMING INTO ITS OWN. Labor is doing more thinking and will do more voting this year than during any previous period in our political history.—‘“Labor.” Recognized, organized union labor commands more respect today than ever before. ik topte by . CHEAP AT ANY PRICE. One woman values her actor husband at $100,000. It would be inter- esting to know what price newspaper men’s wives would place on their husbands.—Mankato Free Press. A T SR IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE. Don’t get it in your head there is no more trade to be ‘obtained. That you can’t enlarge the extent of your business. Of every dollar spent by the people of your district there is not over one-half of this dollar spent with you or your fellow business man. The other half goes to the big city advertiser—the mail order man or the merchant in your nearest town who is not afraid to talk to his trade about his business and his merchandise. Think it over—it will pay you.—‘“Pep.” . S o igeaas A SWITCH OR A CLUB—WHICH? Former President Taft advocates a legal club for the reds. A hickory switch applied to the broadest part of their anatomy would be more like it and obtain better results.—Mankato Free Press. . Both, if properly applied. g ol RESPECTFULLY, IS RIGHT. Treat every cold as respectfully as if it were the flu, until you’re sure it isn’t.—Red Wing Republican. e I LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE? Hasn’t been so advertised but it looks a little as if there was an elimina- tion contest on between the president and his cabinet. The latest with- drawal is secretary of State.—Stillwater Gazette. May be these fellows who are seeking elimination are looking for a “soft” place to light before the fall election. A A JONES WANTS TO BE CHIEF BOOSTER. Ww. W: anes, editor of the Gonvick Banner, is advocating a cleanup club for his city, and for fear they will make him president of the club, Mr..Jones issues an ultimatum that the only office he is looking for is “Chief Booster.” We'll predict that he will make good at whatever office they honor him with. famous novelist, Zane Grey, to Benja- min B.

That was too long ago for even the oldest Inhab itants to remember, hecause the heat was so intense that therewas no such thing as an inhabitant’ én the earth. The only way we know it is by seeing other planets so young that they are still nothing but unbelievably hot gas. After a while the earth cooled off a bit. ~ Instead of gas, it was a solid mass, but twhite-hot still—then red- hot—then cool enough to allow some primitive form of vegetable life. Be- fore long, in about a million years or g0, the earth became cool enmough to have a flourishing vegetable garden on its surface. Some parts of the earth continued to develop until Adam and Eve came on the scene. Lithuania, the new Bal- tic republic, had just about reacheéd the Adam-and-Eve stage when it got drowned oit of sight. The whole coun- try literally disappeared. It was cov- ered by the sea. . “COUNTERFEIT” IS PLEASING. A picture that gives Elsie Fergu- son unusual opportunities to display her talent is on view at the Elko theatre tonight tomorrow and Thurs- day. It is called *“‘Counterfeit” and presents the star as a Southern girl of excellent family who is influenced by the impecunious state of her affairs and the offer of a large re- ward by the Secret Servige to under- take the task of rounding up a band of counterfeiters.
