Perhaps never in the history of mod
ern journalism has any newspaper
gained so rapidly in public favor as the
Chicago Inter Ocean. Within the past
two years it has, by adopting progress
sive methods and injecting push and
enterprise in all it's departments forced
itself into the very front rank Of great
Chicago newspapers. That this popu-
larity is deserved is beyond question.
The publisher during this time, Mr.. H.
H. Kohlsaat, has spared neither expense
nor effort to attain his ideal and he
has succeeded. Uncompromisingl Re-
publican on all National issues. The
Inter Ocean does battle for what
it believes to be the true faith in
manner that at once commands the
attention of the public and respect of
all. It can be recommended to those
who desire a clean, reliable, enter
prising metropolitan family newspaper.

The grand jury of Redwood or Brown
county has duty to perform when it
again convenes. A citizen, a member
Of the jury that found Madigan guilty,
has published over his own signature,
statement that he knowingly, found
an innocent man guilty, of heinous
offense. In this letter he reveals the
proceedings of jury in criminal
action, in manner for which we can
find no equal. He states that he be-
lieves Madigan was innocent, accord
ing to the evidence but in order to
reach a verdict, he cast the veil Of
shame over high official, his wife and
his children, and their children Of
future generations. We know of moth
ing that will equal this confession.
We have read of the degradations Of
the human race, in fiction and reality,
and we have yet to find case that
will equal this, wherein human being,
believing a man innocent, would brand
him a felOn and put shame on his
loved ones forever. We do not know
whether there is a law Furnishing jurors
for revealing the proceedings of jury
in criminal case; we know not Wheth-
er there is law Furnishing a man for

but if there u.s. the grand jury Of one
of the two counties should find it, and
bring this man to an accounting for
such strange, sensational and inhu-
man confession. 1t is blow at the
jury system, blow at our personal
safety-RedwoOd Gazette.
We are frank to say, and we believe
that an honest PUBLIC will endorse our
sentiments, that there is not within
the confines of this or any similar
institution, human being who is
guilty of a more heinous or damnable
crime than that pictured in the article
above quoted. 1t is not, however. the
enormity of the crime which appalls
and surprises us, but rather the consci-
entiousness of the confession. The
crime, method or system of finding a
, speedy verdict, as manifested in the
, above instance, is, in reality, COM
mon one, and it is high time the press
and the people of this country and age
should become awakened to the reali-
cation of this fact.

A party of simple minded farmers
were caught pilfering few pine logs
from the Red Lake reservation. The
theft, of course, was promptly reported
by minions of the government, and the
unsophisticated grangers were as
promptly fined $50 each-three times
the value of the logs. Log pilfering
must not be INDUCED in by clod-hop-
pers. This is an exclusive privilege
reserved for millionaire pine barons.
Wholesale pine stealing is respectable;
it is one of the recognized industries;
but stealing by the sledload-well, that
is stealing. Whew, but wouldn't the
state and the United States treasury
be flush if the respectable thieves in
Minnesota were obliged to ante up
three times the value of the logs they
have stolen in the past twenty-five
years? Princeton Union.

The average citizen who is generally
honest and not up TO the devious ways
of the law breakers, have no idea OF the
number OF men in prohibition localities
who have Federal license to sell liquors.
These men do not pay s25 for the fun OF
the thing nor to crafty a patriotic de-
sire to assist in the support OF the gener-
al government. They get them for the
purpose OF selling liquor and to prevent
prosecution in the Federal courts, which
they fear of all things, while taking lit
tie cognizance of the indictments against
them in the State courts, as they can
usually succeed in running witnesses
away or of suborning testimony. If the
Legislature wants to score point Tor
temperance and break up such traffic in
liquors, let it pass law making the pos
session OF government license to retail
spirits, prima facie evidence that the
holder is selling them contrary to the
laws OF the State. and there will be few
er doggeries in the country.
