A western retail] merchant writing to the Iron Age, gives the following substantial reason for his opposition to the enactment ofa parcels post ifaw, such as is now proposed through a bill introduced by Representative Sims of Tennessee. The writer says: “Any legislation of this kiad will bea serious blow to rural com- munities allover the country. The passage of an act, such as Representa- tive Sims has introduced, will build up a few mail order houses, will take away business from thousands of retailers and will embarrass them to such an extent as to cause failufes of the small ‘This parcel post measure, beinga blessing to the ultimate ruin, in his merchants allover the country. instead of farmer, would be his as, Without, the several store have no place to dispose of his product: in short time he would not even have a nearby station from neighborhood, he would fact, in a very which to ship his grain, as without the retailer, such stations could not The establishment post means the destruc- be maintained. of a parcel tion of all small retailers, and as this slass of merchants form the backbone of the country, business of the the curtail- serious mercantile it would mean ment of business and rassmenut of the Jobber.

Duluth News Tribune: A. J. McGuire, superintendent of the state experimental farm, will not leave Grand Rapids. He has received a flattering offer from the national government, ** but he has de- cided not to accept it as he considers his work for the ultimate transformation of northern Minunesotainto a farming dis- trict urfinishe The government de- sired him to take charge of a aew depart ment in dairy farm management under the supervision of the agricultural bureau. Cass Lake How different trom his predecessor. McGuire has oever bad a forestry craze and never pandered to the interests of any set of men to hold his place or to gaina more lucrative one. His aim. has been and is to do all the good he can interests are Times: for the state; his own not foremost. MeGuire’s ability de- mands better pay than the state grants him—he is worth more—and itis tbe duty of his friends to see that his pay is commensurate with his services. Robert pe) Jacob. BR. C. Dunn has the following tu say of Jacobson in his Princeton Union: “J, F. Jacobson has every right to uspire to the governorship. His friends are justified in pushing his candidacy. If he is nominated he will run like a prairie fire and he will be elected and will prove a capable, conservative governor. The Union és not urging Mr. Jacobson’s zandi- dacy at this time—it may have a can- didate of its own—but we could sup- port him with pleasure, and should he receive the Republican nomination for governor he will have no more earnest and Joyal support within or without the confines of the state than the publisher of the Union.” .C. KILEY. | tory. There wasa fight for supremacy Democratic party in, Duluth. One faction, that was represented by the Herald, is composed of state adminis- tration boosters, the main object of which is to keep John A. Johnson in the main seat and push him as the “favorite son’? of Minnesota in the national convention at Denver. The other element, headed by such men as Mayor Cullum and T, T. Hudson. are loyal to Bryan. The Herald desired more to see the defeat of Cullum than the success of Tessman. The Johason bunch combined with the saloon element and defeated Cullum. The result isa handsome Republican victory with the “lid on.” ——_eoo———_ Iv Is announced that Bryan and Hurst have combined to defeat the nomination of our Johnson. Also the report that ‘‘the east” is for anybody except Bryan still continues to occu- py newspaper space. By ‘‘the east” is meant Wall street and the ‘‘cap- talus of industry.” Anybody who knows anything of the political hopes of Wall street and the ‘‘captains,” knows that Bryan is n®t in favor with them and he will not be the nominee if money cdn encompas his defeat in the national convention. As to the framing of a combination between Bryan and Hearst against Jobnson, that’s foolish. Johnson never has been a possibility. Bryan will be the Democratic norainee and Taft the Republican nominee. These are foregone conclusions. al KING CARLOs of Portugal and his son Phillippe. prince, were assassinated at Lisbon last Saturday by revolutionists. The second son of the king has been ‘declared . monarch and is uominallly reigning. The country is badly mixed up and more trouble is daily looked for. Presi- dent Roosevelt cablegramed the new little king telling bim that the people of the United States are awful sorry because his pa was shot. Teddy also sent some condolences to the new little king’s ma. The new little king’s name igs Emanuel, and he is honest enough to admit that he doesn’t know anything. crowo Bie SRE Ir migHr not be out of the order to casually remark that Harry Kendall Thaw was: found innocent and bug house by the jury. He was committed to a crazy house. His sister Alice, married an im- pecunious Englishman of bad morals and an inherited title, has also been tied lose from ber degenerate hus- band. She should be cousigned toa cell at Harry’s present home. She’s bugs, too. who between opposing factions of the nominated and-elected governor \he wouldn’t do much harm—intention- ally, at least. er a Sey BRYAN is one of America’s great men, despite defeat. Can it be con- ceived that anyone of those men- tioned ia opposition to him, could have survived one defeat? And that’s the measure of the difference between Bryan and the rest.—Little Falls Herald.

COUNTY BOARD MEETING TODAY The board of county commissioners will hold a special meeting to-day at the court house. Routine business will be disposed of, and the matter of redistricting the county into commis- sioner districts will probably be taken up. There is present a large delega- tion of business men from the range towns who will appear before the! board to urge that Nashwauk and! Bovey section be given just representa- tion in the districts. They are cer- tainly entitled to fair treatment as the mates at this institutiou at the pre- sent time than ever before in its” rgrippe, and mining towns have not only the tax vaiuation but the population that! justifies their claims to recognition. When you smoke Booth’s Bouquet you smoke the best domestic cigar on the market. history. A majority of ‘the patients are suffering from colds, rheymatism, similar complaints. Thus far all applicants for admission have been cared for but the limit is now about reached unless some of the present invalids are soon able to re- ceive their “ttckets of leave.” H.G. Philley, who was- injured at the log landing just below town about ten days ago. is still in an av- parently unconscious condition. His ultimate recovery is still doubtful. Mrs. Margaret Donnelly was brought down from Big Falls last week suffering from rheumatism. It will be some time, apparently. befure she will be able to leave the hospital. Mrs. John Bracil of Cohas- set and Mrs. Andrew Campbell of Big Fork are also rheumatic patients at St. Benedict’s. Mrs. Wm. Benoit of Cohasset was brought to the hospital a few days ago and on Tuesday a surgical operation was performed 9n her by Dr. Russell. The doctor removed an injured rib, since which time she feels much relieved. Mike Shultz underwent the amputation of a leg on Saturday last as’ the result of aa injury re- ceived in a logging camp some time ago. John Novack had two toes removed Thursday by Dr. Russell. He re- ceived an injury several weeks ago in the woods and through neglect biood poison had set in. Agent wanted at once to represent us in Grand Rapids and vicinity. No experience necessary.
