Now that the primary election is over and the candidates of political parties are squarely in the fleld the campaign will open all along the line. The independent candidates, those who have to go on the ticket by petition, will now get busy with their notaries public and the country will be canvassed for signers. There are probably many who do aot under- staud that they are barred from sign- ing a petition of this description if they voted at the primaries, butsuch is the case. A voter has no more right tosign a petition after having helped put a mae in nomination than he has to vote twice ata caucus. As the list of voters at the primary elec- tion is preserved and the petition of the independent candidates can be compared with it by any interested individual and the petition thrown eutif found to be fraudulent or ir- regular it is of the utmost importance that the voters understand the law yn this point.

Is the present method a success in its working and is it an improvement over the old delegated convention system? One serious objection to the system is this fact—a poor man need not apply, well knowing that he is virtually barred, for worth and ability are discounted because the would-be candidates can not furnish the means to carry on his campaign. When the time comes in the history of a repnblic that the citizens without means is barred from the priviledge of office-holding, our system of free institutions fail in the purpose of its creation. The effect of the duplex system is a long and exciting campaign, keeping both the candidates and the public at large, in a state of worry and unrest. For this and many other reasons, we con- clude that many modifications should be made in the system.—Brainerd Arena. . Congratulations. Editor T. M. Saunders, of the Big- fork Settler, was in town today. On Sept. 25th he will take for a life hetp- meet, Miss Ingeborg Magnussen, daughter of “our” Frank.

Dairying is practically the only means of securing profit from the land before the stumps are removed and the ground put under cultivation. Enough land must be under cultiva- tion to provide winter feed but with the abundant yield of clover, fodder corn and roots a large average is not neccessary. There are two very good reasons for advocating dairying in a country so favorable to that industry as North- eastern Minnesota. The dairy cow is the most productive of all farm ani- mals, and in dairying less of the soil fertility is removed than in any other branch of agriculture. The demon- stration of this may be seen in the fact that the dairy farmers are the most prosperous the world over, whether in Minnesota, Vermoot or Denmark. In this section of the state where the acres under cultivation must nec- cessarly be few, what crops aregrown should be made the best possible use of, and that is in feeding, Feeding on the farm, and selling a finished product, and butter is the highest finished pruduct of the farm. The creameries that have already started in Northeastern Minnesota and having sufficient patronage, paid over 27 cents per pound for butter fat during the past year. In a certain town of this section of the state located in a community where the farmers have gone into dairying, the bank paid out over $80,000 for cream checks; over $7.000 a month during 1907. In this same town five years ago before the farmers had a creamery or made a business of he —+
