If the majority of republicans in convention assembled pigked “Jake” Preus as the man to lead the party to victory, then he is the man to back up to the last “trench.” Every single individual who permitted his name to be considéered at this elimination meeting should _ consider it his duty to be a “backer” of every man selected for office. This is what he would expect, had he been chosen for a place on the ticket, and ig'therefore honorbound to support the men selected. We do not (believe that any of these prospective office seekers will carry the fight into the primaries, but if such should be the case, then these candidates must expect criticism of the severest kind and rightfully so. Any candidate who does so, places personal ambition or vindictiveness above honor and common decency and should receive the rebuke of all patriotic citizens of the state. . ‘ Even to have entertained such an idea is an excuse for a public -apology. The people of this state have confronting them a serious problem, and it needs the united action of every right think- ing individual to prevent radicalism from success in Minnesota politics.

Donaws el = OFFIOIAL COUNTY AND CITY PAOCEEDINGS THE PROBLEM OF IRELAND. There has been in Winnipeg during the past week some discussion of the Irish problem; and the result has been enlightening as to the apparently in- superable difficulties which lie in the way of a settlemqnt of this question. A discussion of this matter by Irishmen themselves in their present temper gets nowhere. The conflicting Irish tem- peraments are at the moment irreconcilable. Ex- perience has shown that outsiders cannot intervene and bring about an adjustment of the dispute, either by force or by persuasion. While the Irish them- selves are hopelessly divided and show no real desire to try to understand the point of view of the other man, the result is hopeless deadlock and chaos, under the effects of which Ireland, which has been in recent years one of the most prosperous communities in the world, is slowly but sarely un- dergoing a process of distintegration that will be ruinous to its people. Events such as those which have been occurring in Ireland during the past two or three years are bound to have a most detrimental effect upon the economic and social structure of the country. Perhaps a realization of the economic folly of the present situation may be the first step towards its amelioration. The speakers who have discussed the Irish ques- tion in Winnipeg during the past week, have been Protestants from Ulster. But they talked the -standard Sinn Fein argument. They are part and parcel of the Sinn Fein movement and have ap- peared on numerous United States platforms in com- . pany with DeValera. They are in no way repre- sentative of Irish Protestants; and to whatever extent they sought to convey the idea that any there would be an early settlement of the Irish ., 7 The handsonlest nobleman in England .is being sued for divorce.

If all the people of Ireland were in favor of an Irish republic, nothing could prevent the establishment of such a republic. The time has gone by when by military force, four or five million people all of one mind can be constrained to submit to a government to which they are opposed. The difficulty about Ireland is that there are two Irelands. That is an unpalatable fact which the Sinn Feiners try to dodge. % But it is inescapable. A PERFECT CURE. .

Hadley, candidate for the nomination for governor on the republican ticket. Here is what he has to say about J. A. O. Preus, who won the convention indorse- ment: “Though we were not the man selected to make the race, there are no sore spots about us. We were beaten fairly and squarely. We were not an active candidate and made no fight whatsoever, but the fact remains nevertheless that victory was not ours. “The only thing to do now is to get behind Mr. Preus and assist him in his fight. He is a clean, upright, capable and honorable gentleman. Every man who is a republican and believes in fair play will boost and vote for Mr. Preu. We have no time whatsover for the soreheads and quitters. The world is not wasting much admiration on men who yelp when they get a licking. Vote for Preus.” ~—St. Paul Dispatch. < PRy MARRYING A CELEBRITY. The stream of belated comment touching the Danielson-Hurst nuptials continues to flow.

Twenty-five per cent is about the average loss. The average cow produces about 160 pounds of butter-fat a year; 25 per cent of 160 pounds is 40 pounds. A good separator will save this loss of 40 pounds of butter-fat for each cow yearly, which at the present price of from 50 to 70 cents a pound, represents a saving of from $20'to $25 and more. The better the cows, the bigger your loss. _ So that if you have two or more cows, you can’t afford to be .without a DeLaval Separator another day.
