FOR VOTING FOB KNUTE.
John N. Jones Gets His Reward ID Being
Slated for Factory Inspector.
The Labor Men However are Very Much
Opposed to him.

Opposed him.
The Minneapolis Journal of Friday
says: J. N. Jones, Of Redwood county, a
member of the late house of representa-
tives, IS to be The new factory inspector
to take the place Of Capt. Antoine Paul,
Of Duluth, who resigned on the first Of
January. Word of this appointment,
which is to be made on May i, leaked
out in st. Paul to-day and already has
stirred up good deal of muss among
the labor leaders Of the two cities. The
laboring classes opposed the passage OF
the struck jury bill by the legislature,
and brought all the influence to bear
that they could to induce the governor
to veto it. They took the ground that
the bill was hostile to their interests,and
have not forgotten that Mr.. Jones made
a very bitter speech in favor OF the bill,
speech which was aimed directly at
the classes who are represented by or.
ganized labor, and the only one to which
the labor leaders who we're lobbying
against the bill took serious personal
objection. Now, to have this man APP
pointed factory inspector looks to the
laboring men like adding insult to in
jury, and it is not unlikely that the gov
ernor and labor commissioner, who are
directly responsible for the appointment
will hear from their labor friends in
some emphatic way in short time.
Besides all of the above, there is said
to be a business reason why a man from
the southern part of the state should not
have had the vacant place, and why it
should have gone to a man from Duluth.
One of the factory inspectors lives in
Minneapolis, where he is busy for about
10 months of the year. Auo,her lives in
St. Paul, where he is busy for about
eight months. Capt. Paul was busy in
Duluth for about four months. While
they are working in the towns where
their homes are the factory Inspector on
lv draw their salaries. When they 90
away from home, the important item of
board and lodging is added. By nam
ing a man from Duluth the governor
would have saved the state about $500
year, But saving Of this sort cut no
figure when a place was to be provided
for member of the legislature who vot-
ed for Nelson for United States senator.
In his recent work on chinch bugs
Prof. Lugger says: "One point about
these bugs is their love for warmth and
dryness. and consequently their selection
of fields offering both. Chinch bugs pre-
fer sandy soil or poorly cultivated soil
simply because in such fields the plants
are of small and irregular growth, thus
permitting the sun to strike the soil d.
rectly. if not being shaded by foliage.
Fields we'll covered with plants and con-
sequently soils we'll shaded. are not at
tractive to these insects. A good farmer
will not utilize soils of the above char
acters, but will enrich the sandy soil to
such an extent as to produce a strong
and uniform stand of plants; neither
will he cultivate poorly a good soil;
neither will he be robber of the soil by
continuing to remove crops year after
year without returning something to the
soil in form of manure to keep up its
fertility. A good farmer will escape
many losses by insects and other pests
where poor farmer would suffer-" 4
