KILEY. - Leo DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE Ratered in the Postoffice at Grand Rapids, bs Minnesota, as Second-Class Matter THE REVUBLICAN DILEMMA. It seems from present indications Abat for the peace of the Republican party, the administration made a serious mistake in selecting Messrs “Bonaparte and Conrad to investigate the postal scandal. The ‘report of ,bhese yentlemen on the Tulloch ‘charges does not suit the Republican leaders at all, and they do not know what to do with it. 1t has certainly stirred upa big rumpus in the cabi- “net, and three meetings have already been held without reaching a con- clusion as to what action shall be taken in regard to it. Secretary “Shaw and Postmaster General Payne resent the reflections made on their departments by this report and they are backed up by a large contingent of influential Republicans in and out of Washington, who criticise its method. They refer to Bonaparte, who has long been an independent Republican, devoted to civil service, reform interests, and Conrad, who is a gold democrat, as “two mug- wumps.” ‘There is a good deal of talk concerning the ‘bad policy” of out- side the ‘‘ofticial family” and the Re- publican party for investigators. Their reports, it is known, speaking out plainly, and this is what causes the trouble. Bonaparte and Conrad practically call for the resignation of Robert J. Tracewell, comptroller of the treasury, but Secretary Shaw is standing by him. The forcing out of Auditor Castle afew days ago, al- though it met with less resistance on Secretary Shaw’s part, has pro- voked hostility. Archbishop Irland of St. Paul, who is an influential Republican and one of Castle’s closest friends, has been to Washington to see about it. He is extremely displeased. Secretary } Shaw construes the Lonaparte report | to mean that the auditing officers of the treasury must assure themselves of the integrity of every voucher in- stead of merely assuring themselves that it is regular in fourm and was properly passed by the accounting officers on the spot. Ne believes that the acceptance of the report would involve radical changes in treasury methods amounting almost to a revo- lution. These, he holds, should not be entered upon without very serious consideration. Outside the cabinet circle, as the news of the contents of this report has become known, criti- have been privately made. They now say that the president should trot. have gone outside the party for his investigators. No further attempt’ will be made to adjust the difference until Secretary Shaw returns from his western trip. ‘This condition of affairs is nuts for the democrats. The Republicans are certainly up. against it. If they do not give the report full publicity end acbupon it, it will furnish added ammunition to their opponents and of the most daugerous sort —Duluth Herald. atee LOSER EEE ESE THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER. Newspaper directories show a large increase iu the number of country newspapers the country over. The newspapers are weeklies, semi-week— lies and dailies. In Minnesota, the number of country rapidly increasing. In the north woods of this state, some of the news- paper plants arfived on the scene of publication before a clearing was made and in advance of the settlers who will read then. Some of the brighest and best coun- try editors in the business are located in the pine forests and are working faithfully and with good effect for the good of the region. They write bright newspaper literature, and are quoted, with surprised delight by ex: changes published in the cities. The settlement grows up around them, and they begin to fight -for schools and churches.’ They get them. The Minnesota neswspaper, pub- lighed in the country is a bulwark of the commonwealth, just as, in a gen- eral way, the country newspapers are to the nation. Not only. do the country editors of Minnesota largely control the politics of the state, but they seb. an example of independence of thought and fearlessness of com: } ment that might well win the com- mendatign and emulation of the! metropolitan dailies. The methods of city journalism would never do in the country, where the editor has in mind always the personality of the friend about whom a news iten printed. The country newspape' a friend of the family , and speaks almost affectionately of the affairs of interest. to the village | or county in which it is printed. It is rich in local “atmosphere” or “color,” and it fights for the right of its readers as faithfully as it reflects their joys and sorrows, their progress and prosperity. It discusses with them the ques-! tions of grave moment, international, | national, state and local. It presents | in intelligent and brief mauner the great problems of the day and keeps its readers in touch with the pulse of | the throbbing world of affairs. The journal is published ‘“‘in the interest! of the home town,” and never forgets | its mission. What may seem to the\ city newspaper man, who is a strang- er in his home city, a trivial personal about some village character, is a bit} newspapers is | | place the country KURDS SUP RC OLIN ey hw PPI SPT A.

The quaint, little allus- ions of the “‘joshy” sort bring out the hearty laugh of the village readers. These same readers may be better judges of classic literature than are many of the city dwellers. They read—for they have time to read, and they read understandingly. The vil- lage newspaper reports the sessions of the literary clubs, and some of the papers read there would be revela- tions to more than one member ofa college literary club. The country paper encourages the debating socie- ty, and fosters focal talent, just as the city newspaper aims to’ do, the medium through which the local merchant advises his customers of his wares, It is the medium through which the politician, if he is wise, would prefer speaking ty the voters. It speaks for local self-government and keeps 1t in order. Not all the pictured attractions of “yellow” journalism, not all the rapid fire news seryice in the world can re- newspaper, which holds its prestige in this day of rural telephone and rural free delivery as staunchly usit did iu stage cuach days. The country newspaper isan in- stitutian of Lhe people and. for the people. Its utterances are simple with the simplicity of dignity., Long may .it guide it readers.—Duluth News Tribude.

Guile of section 20, 56-26 raised 2.000 bushels of potatoes on his farm this season, for which he 1s offered $1,000 in cash. He is not ready to sell at present. and expects to get more than 50 cents per bushel for the lot, The 2,000 bushel was raised on less than eight acres of what Superinteneent Chapman calls | “Jack pine land.” of news that is of moment to every We reproduce the above from the It is! Grand Rapids Herald-Review, and from our own experience we have no doubts of its truthfulness. For the last two years we have planteda patch of potatoes on lands that have not been manured and in each case we have taken out first-class potatoes averaging more than one anda half bushels to the square rod of ground and this land has been in cultivation < any farmer, (nota ional agriculturist with a job) what the effect of a crop of clover would be if this ground was again planted with potatees after the clover (second crop) has been plowed under. His answer will be: ‘At least double the first crop.” Ask the farmeragain if he can grow a good crop of potatoes on “pure sand; he will tell you that it cannot be done; the potato is as essentially a potash plant as wheat is alime plant, neither will it tnrive and make good returns withouta bountiful supply of their favorite food. plot of ground where Mr. Guile raised his crop must have been such soil as we have at and around Cass: Lake, i. e., a soil largely made up of powdered clay-and lime. If 250 bushels of pota- |tses can be grows on lan manure there is good re: lieve that 5C0 bushels can be grown on the same lands when treated systematically with clover aud per- haps barn yard manure. We lose hope in the integrity of mankind when they make such luose assertions and attempt to force the people to believe the assertions are true.—Cass Lake Times.
