aa OHASSET HERALD-REVIEW IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE COHASSET, MINNESOTA, AUGUST 21 1912 BOOST FOR COHASSET Women in Industry The increased cost of living dates back to the last century, and it made it impossible for men to sup- Port their families. Women were driven out into the business world. They came into competition with men who were ungenerous and un- just. It was all the fault of the same greed that causes present conditions, the desire for luxury and pleasure in both men and women. There was a lack of self abnegation, | pretty gifts, including a hand-painted and so we find inequalities in in- dustry. There should be equal pay far equal work, and anything else is un- just; but it has been the way since women came into the labor market. Men have objected, saying that women have not the strength, but how much does strength count? A factory girl can go into the factory and press a button that sets ma- chinery moving as well as the strong.’ est man.

McMahon of New York. A Vanishing Type The day of “shotgun” farming is} over, but the “shotgun” farmer, un-| aware of the changes taking place all| about him, still persists. He may be marked by weedy fields and stag- gering fenceposts, by tangled heaps of parbed wire, by unpainted and unkept buildings. His horses are poor his machinery always out of repair, his “luck”bad. He works early and late) and never gets ahead. He is “agin” good roads and better schools because these things cost money, and “what was good enough for me is good enough for my children.” He is a bit late with the seeding and the’ frost catches the oats and flax. Some times the mortgage gets him down and tramps on him; sometimes he rents a farm, moves to town, runs down the business at which he failed-' He is not wholly to blame. He was born to fit the conditions of thirty years ag. The times have changed. The agricultural world “do move.” He stands still—Farm, Stock and Home.

TWO DEAD; TWO INJURED Meeting Opposition He Shoots Down Farmhand, Wounds Girl’s Father and Brother and Takes His Own Life When Pursued by Posse. Belle Plaine, Kan., Aug. 21.—In a fight which followed an attempt by Sam Wood, thirty-five years old, a farmer, to kidnap Ethel Manahan, daughter of Matt Manahan, at the lat- ter’s farm near here, James Thomp- son, sixteen years old, was killed; Manahan was fatally wounded and Gaylord Manahan, sixteen years old, a son of Matt,.was hurt. Wood was overtaken by a posse near his own farm, two miles north of Belle Plaine. He ran from a cornfield into the road and fired three bullets in his breast. He was brought to Belle Plaine fatally wounded. Wood spared young Manahan’s life when the boy agreed to drive him to safety. Wood lived on a neighboring farm. During the night he drove to the Man- ahan place in a buggy and routed out young Thompson, a farmhand. He demanded that Thompson produce Miss Manahan. The young woman had been aroused by loud talking in the yard and overhearing the conver- sation of the two men fled to a closet and locked the door. Thompson declined flatly either to | produce the girl or to tell where she might be found. After further parley- ing Wood deliberately fired at Thomp- son. The latter fell dead with a bul- let through his heart. The elder Manahan then appeared upon the scene. Father Hit With Iron Bar. ‘Wood grabbed an iron bar and after @ struggle beat Manahan over the head. Leaving Manahan unconscious on the ground within twenty feet of where Thompson’s body was stretched, Wood attacked Gaylord, the young son of Manahan, when he pleaded with the murderer to spare the lives of his father and sister. Wood’s reply was a blow which stunned the boy, but did not seriously injure him. Wood then entered the house and started a search for Miss Manahan, but failing to find the young woman ran out into the yard. Young Mana- han had recovered and on his knees pleaded with Wood to save the lives of his father and sister. Wood prom- ised to do so if the boy would help him get away. The two jumped into Wood’s buggy and drove rapidly to the south. Two miles distant Wood entered a corn field, deserting the vehicle and ordering Manahan “to re- turn home.” Arriving home young Manahan spread the alarm and soon after day- light a posse had started in pursuit of Wood. A physician who treated the elder Manahan stated his condi- tion was serious. Serdoedectectontondedtecte Riistes + Sete M. N.

FOR SOCIALISM Marshali Scores Republic- ans in Speech. NOTIFIED OF NOMINATION Judge Parker, in Notification Address, Declares Neither the Republicans Nor Progressives Are to Be Trusted to Remedy Conditions. Indianapolis, Aug. 21—Governor Thomas R. Marshall was officially noti- fied that he is the running mate of Governor Woodrow Wilson at the head of the Democratic national ticket in the coming campaign. Judge Alton B. Parker of New York, who was the Presidential candidate of the party in 1904, made the notification address. Thomas Taggart, national commit- teeman for Indiana, was master of ceremonies and imtroduced Judge Par- ker, who, as chairman of the commit- tee, delivered the notification speech. In his address notifying Governor Marshall of his nomination Judge Par- ker took his text from Governor Wil- son’s speech of acceptance. Judge Parker said there was a partnership between government and privilege, that this partnership resulted in pub- lic injury and that the Republican par- ty was solely responsible for the part- nership. He declared neither the Re- publican nor the Progressive parties could be trusted to break up the part- nership and that the Democratic party could be trusted to accomplish that result. Marshall Attacks Republicans, Governor Marshall of Indiana in his speech of acceptance attacked the Re- publican party on the grounds that it had fostered special privilege to the point of making men everywhere so- cialistic in theory if not in conduct. In this connection he said: “It is idle for a thoughtful man in America, whether millionaire or pau- per, to longer play the ostrich. Safety does not consist in hiding one’s head in the sands of either sentiment or | hope. It is foolish for the vastly rich | to keep on insisting that more and | more shall be added to their riches through a special system of special legislation ostensibly enacted to run the government, in reality enacted to loot the people. “Whether voting the ticket or not, men everywhere looking upon the aw- ful injustice of this economic system are becoming socialistic in theory if not in conduct. “I do not hesitate to say that if it be impossible to restore this republic to its ancient ideals, which I do not believe, and I must make the ultimate choice between the paternalism of the few and the socialism of the many | count me and my house with the throb- bing heart of humanity.” DEBS TO TOUR THE COUNTRY | Socialist Candidate for President Will Cover Continent.

DROWN AS LAChuH jumped Their bodies They clasped one another in a grip which it was found difficult to break. Hurley and Miss Gysland were mem- bers of a party of seven which went for a launch ride. Hurley acted as engineer and after lighting a cigar threw the burning match into some gasoline. Flames spread, setting the boat afire. Miss Gysland pushed Hur. ley into the water and followed. Other members of the party did not see them again. The other three women and two men jumped into the water and kept hold of the burning boat until onlook- | ers on shore saw the flames and res- cued them. ANSWERS ATTACK OF RIVALS Minnesota Governor Defends Use of Contingent Fund. Answering attacks on Governor Eber- hart regarding expenditures from the governor’s contingent fund Ralph W. Wheelock, secretary to the governor, issued a statement in answer to argu- ments accredited to Lewis C. Spooner and W. E. Lee, gubernatorial candi- Gates and rivals of Eberhart. The teply made by the governor’s secre- tary covers an expenditure from the contingent fund used for the care of Bertha Clausen of Duluth, an insane girl. Mr. Wheelock says in the reply there was nothing improper about the expenditure as is alleged to have dates. Regarding other alleged improper usages of the contingent fund Mr. Wheelock says no answer will be made because they are too trivial. DRAINED LANDS ARE FERTILE Samples of Grains Grown There Shown in Washington. Samples of oats and flax grown on Chippewa drained pete swamp lands in Northern Minnesota were placed in the house lobby by Representative Steenerson and attracted considerable attention.

Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Hays, formerly of Minnesota, issued a statement denying that there was any ground for criticism by Repre- sentative Moss, chairman of the com- mittee on expenditures in the depart- ment of agriculture, because of his alleged connection with North Caro- lina drainage lands. “IT have read the printed testimony in the Mattamuskeet lake bed inves- tigation,” said Mr. Hays. “I told the truth both in my original statement and in my testimony and the wit- nesses corroborated my statements and discredited the statements in the two widely circulated letters on which the investigation was based.” HITS BIG PETITION PLAN Minnesota Attorney General Rules Re- garding Electors. The plan for a monster petition to place Roosevelt electors on the gen- eral election ballot in Minnesota, bearing signatures of thousands of Progressives from all parts of the state, probably will come to naught as a result of an informal ruling given by Attorney General Lyndon A. Smith. The attorney general is of the opin- ion that petitions to place presidential electors on the election ballot cannot be circulated until after the primaries, Sept. 17. He holds that in this re- spect electors, like. state candidates, come under the general provisions of the election laws. Three Hundred Deported Weekly. Albany, N.
