HE WHO GRUNTS SHOULD
READ.
j
"Don’t grunt, do your .stunt;’’
which, though we do not know to
whom it is attributable, is rare
good medicine and sound as a
'nut, in addition to its remark
able directness of expression.
l-’or did you ever reflect, ram
bunctious reader—we use this
adjective to avoid the platitude of
"gentle reader,” “detar reader,”
or "patient reader,” not because
we believe our readers really at
all lacking in these amiable qual
ities—did you ever reflect ram
bunctious a>i|d rampant reader,
bow much unearned increment is
lost in stunts with grunts, in
coddling snorts, bunny-liugging
grouches, and soul-mating with
peevishness and piffle—in a word,
how much increased earning you
get out ol' reducing frielion in
carrying your current?
When you begin to growl,
mentally or verbally, you strike
off sparks, and heave up boul
ders, and belch out flame, and
spout lava from your psycholog
ical gizzard, and that tears and
wears you just as a volcano tears
and wears itself with ils erup
tions. Every lime you sputter,
your efficiency engine misses a
stroke and there’s so much gas
and gasoline of business gone to
Ghenna. If Alexander had
thrown a lii every time some
thing wenl wrong, he never would
have been dangerous lu anybody
but professional acrobats; lie
couldn't have taken tso overload
that the man who’s a big suc
cess may always lake. Instead of
sighing for more worlds to con
quer. he would have stopped at
grumbling because an elephant
had eaten his chariot, or tried
. to sit down in il, or run ils wel
nose down the hack of his neck.—

Visions of Roast Beef.
It seems almost incredible, but
the fact is vouched for at Wash
ington, I ha| a representative of
the government is soon to lake
a ship for South America for The
purpose of encouraging consign
ments of beef to the Go od
.-'tales. The administration cher
ishes the belief that with meals
free of tax al our custom house;
i? will Ih» possible occasional!'’*
to buy in Ibis market an Argen
tine roust or steak. To facilitate
the Irall'ic. the federal oiVieial
named will explain conditions
here and do what be ran in oth
er ways to open up a new and
paying commerce If in all our
history there ever was such a re
versal of form as this, the books
make no men! ion of it. Hereto
fore the whole energy of govern
ment has been exerted to extend
the markets of the trusts. Now
we send a man at public expense
thousands of miles to stir up
competition for a trust. |A year
ago this would have been flat
treason. In Mark Hanna’s time
there would have been a cry of
murder from coast to coast. To
day it excites nothing but ex
pectant smiles upon the coun
tenances of millions who eal or
would like to eat—New York

TOWNJF MINOT
Minot, N. D., Aug. 18—The
Industrial Workers of the World
who tried to induce the farm
hands to quit work unless
granted an increase in wages,
have all left town, the attitude
of the citizens being very hos
tile to them, and in the frequent
clashes between the police and
the citizens on one side and the
I. W. W. and their friends on
the other, the 1. W. W. general
ly received the worst of it and
many were taken to the hospitals
or the lockup with broken pales.
