THE GENERAL LAWS.

The general laws passed by the
recent session of the legislature will
be issued in newspaper form in a few
days, and we expect to supply them
to our readers by Monday next.
Very few special laws were passed and
they were mostly ones that repealed
other special laws. There will be
about ten pages of seven columns
each, and the laws should be read
with some core. While there al
ways is much dissatisfaction with a
legislature body, the laws enacted by
the Minnesota houses this year we're
generally beneficial to the interests of
the state. The educational laws, in
GLIDING the free text book act, are
certainly commendable. The best
labor laws ever considered in this
state were passed during the past ses-
sion, and every reasonable demand
made by laboring men met with the
approval of the majority of the mem.
bers of the house, and were mostly
enacted into laws. The farmers will
obtain all the benefits possible from
laws intended to relief the grain sell
lug and shipping business from the
control of elevator rings and com
bines. Iu all respects the last le@
stature very nearly met the needs o
people.

THE HALF MOON,

Hudson left Amsterdam in the Half
Moon on April Z, 1909, under commission
to the Dutch East Indies company to seek
out a more direct route to their eastern
possessions. When he sailed inside Of
Sandy Hook on Sept. 8 Of the same year,
he thought he had found the western
passage he was seeking, and his hopes
ran high for the next two weeks as he
continued his exploration Of the pictur-
esque "River of the Mountains" as the
Manhattan Indians then called the Hud-
son. BY Sept. 10 he had reached point
opposite the site of the present city of
Albany, where he lay at anchor for four
days, going ashore in the canoe Of an old
Indian chief and visiting his tribe.
On Sept. % Hudson, realizing that the
great river he had discovered was not the
westward passage he had imagined, be-
gan his return trip to the ocean and back
to Holland, where he arrived in Novem-
Der. Sailing again in the following year
he discovered the great bay which bears
his name, in what is now British North
America, and there he was set adrift by his
mutinous crew with his son and five OF
six seamen disabled by scurvy, none OF
whom was ever again heard from.

MONOPOLY's CURSE.
! Case Where Monopoly Does Not
49, Curse ANYBODY for Once.

Curse Anybody for Once.
A monopoly is not always an in
htrument OF evil. The Weyerhausers
have secured monopoly of the Mis-
s1ssippi river SO far as the driving of
logs is concerned, but If they carry
out their present plans it will work
good t" both the millmen and lum-
oermen, great aud small. They intend
to put in operation I he same system
used by them in Wisconsin. Every
man cutting logs on the upper Mis-
sissippi will have his logs scaled by
a competent man and graded. The
logs will not he marked in any way
and will he handled in tho mass in
drives us heretofore. But instead of
delivering, as is now done, the iden-
t1cal logs cut by individual firms,
they will deliver wherever directed
the same number of feet of logs and
OF the same grade as the logs
received. AS for example, if H. c.
Ackley delivers to them five million
feet OF first gradelogs to be delivered
to c. Bridgman at st. Cloud. and
these logs are turned into the first
drive, then Mr.. Bridgman will take
from that first drive that quantity
OF first grade logs. Mr.. Bridgman
will not have to hunt out Ackley
logs of certain mark. but can take
any logs from the entire drive of q
certain grade. If a man takes bet
ter grade, or more than he is entitled
to, he pays the difference. This will,
undoubtedly, greatly simplify the
handling and delivery OF logs, 'and it
will:reduce the cost TO thezmill own
ers of selecting and catching logs
about five-sixths. 1t does away with
all marks and consequently the
recording Of marks, and, will greatly
reduce the boom crews. We are in.
formed that last year it cost Mr.
Bridgman $3.50 per thousand feet to
catch and boom the logs cut at its
mill, and that under the new system
, the cost will he only about % cents Il

The law under which Secretary Car
Isle may cease to give out gold certif-
Gates was passed in 1882. It provided
that whenever gold coin in sum of not
less than $40 should be presented at the
United States treasury the presenter
should receive in return therefor treas
ury notes of a denomination not less
than $40, certifying that on demand the
treasury would again pay out the gold
coin. These gold certificates, interchange
able with the gold, have circulated in
stead of it, thus preventing the wear
and tear of the coin. The same law OF
1882 provides, however, that when the
gold reserve in the United States treas.
ury shall fall below 800, OO0,O 900 the sec.
rotary shall cease paying out the gold
certificates in exchange for gold coin

An editorial in the Northwestern
Chronicle, the authorship Of which is
credited to Bishop Ireland, is attract
ing considerable attention. The
inspiration Of the Bible is discussed
and some of the ideas are little
different from those promulgated by
the "higher criticism" of modern times.
The writer, Bishop Ireland or whoever
he may be, uses these words: 1.-THE
so-called ''higher cliticim,' is fatal to
the position taken by the Protestant
reformers of the sixteenth century,
and perhaps to narrow theologians
within the Catholic church, who take
an unwarranted view of biblical
inspiration"
