n. W. CHILDS.

No voter in this state who takes any
interest in the preservation of the
school and university funds should
cast ballot for H. W. Childs, the Re-
publican candidate for attorney gener-
al. Mr.. Childs rendered an opinion that
thesale of a section Of school pine land
in Mile Laos county at private sale and
for less than half Of it's value was a
legal sale. The court unanimously set
this opinion aside and saved to the
state S., 800 on half Of the section.
When the other half is sold again it
will show saving of at least $500
more, making $4,000 for the section.
Hundreds of sections have been sold
in the same manner and for less than
one-half Of their value. Mr.. Childs
was either the agent of the pine land
ring or he was grossly ignorant of the
law. One of these conclusions is in
evitable, and either one disqualifies
him for re- election.
The Peoples party has in the person
of Mr.. J. A. Keyes an honest man run
ming for this Office. If he is elected
these illegal sales and robberies of the
school children Of Minnesota will be
unearthed and hundreds of thousands

The Minneapolis Journal, of the 3r(

its Winnipeg correspondent:


its Winnipeg correspondent:
Talking to a reporter today, w. c. Van
Horne said it was extremely difficult to
account for the continued slump in wheat
and he did not how it could last. One
unfortunate circumstance was that wheat
had lost every friend it had on the CONT
nent. Men who had stood by it and kept
on buying long had all bsen bitten so that
they had finally chucked up the lob and in
disgust left wheat to care for itself While
in Minneapolis he had talked the ouestion
over with c. A. Pillsbury, and that gentle
man had agreed that wheat could not long
stay where it was. At the present time #
was cheaper, pound for pound, than corn
When it is remembered that wheat nro-
duces more high Wines starch and in ia ct
every other article in which it and corn are
USED Tor, than corn does, it must be self
evident that wheat must go up. ''Or else
go down., suggested the reporter "Wel
yes that might be the result but Pills

well, they are bad enough heaven
knows, but they are not so bad in Canada
as they are in the states and it looks to
me as II they were going to worse in the
Central States
Do you think we have seen the worst in
Canada?"
We'll, yes; I rather think we have

IN recent speech Charles f. Elan
dreau took occasion to criticise Judge
Willis. the Peoples candidate for as
sociatc justice of the supreme court,
for his acceptance of that nomination.
Mr.. Flandreau has been the paid t.
torney of corporations and plutocrats
in this state for 30 years. His criti-
cism of Judge Willis will have the
proper weight with the people, and
that will be very small Judge Willis
has shown himself to be the friend of
the people and the enemy of corpora

An Important Matter.

This year an important amendment
to the vote of the people. Be sure to
vote for it. 1t is to give the State
Legislature power to levy and collect
a tax on all inheritances. requests. de-
vises, legacies, and gifts OF all kinds,
above fixed and specified sum, and to
be graded or progressive above that
sum. The object is to see that the
great fortunes pay something towards
the support of the commonwealth to
make up for the taxes the owners have
lodged all their lives.
Be sure to vote for it. Explain it to
your neighbors. Let the Peoples Par
ty papers call attention to it.
