PIONEER PRESS: Minnesota is not
alone in moving for the abolition Of
the fee system for Offices like those of
coal oil inspector, judge Of probate,
etc., where the fees have overgrown
the amounts paid as salaries to the
highest executive and judicial officers
of the State. The excise commissioner,
coal oil inspector and probate judge of
st. Louis county have been realizing
from 5000 to $4,000 per annum in
fees. The newly elected governor of
Missouri, in his first special message,
recommended the substitution Of a
modest salary for fees in all these and
similar Offices; and it is expected that
the change will save fully 500, 900 per
year to the State.

Witty j. Adam Bede recently Wis
tied the State penitentiary, and among
the friends he met and conversed with
were Cole and Jim Younger. Mr..
Bede is decidedly in favor of restoring
the Younger boys to liberty In a
column article in his bright little pa
per he gives his reasons why the boys
should be pardoned, and among stother
things says:
They are Missourians by birth. They were
educated in the school of border warfare. Their
father, a Union sympathizer, war jayhawked.
After the war they were outlawed. In 1875 they
helped to rob bank at Northfield, Mimi They
killed nobody. They attempted to kill nobody.
Jim was badly wounded in the face. Bob was
wounded and died of consumption in the Still
water prison few years ago. They have
served over twenty years in prison, while the
average length Of life sentence isaonly about
ten years. Their behavior all this time has
been excellent. If they ever had a devil in
them, it has been cooked out during their i'm
prisonment The purpose Of the law has been
served, and further punishment is persecution
unworthy of an enlightened civilization.

The record which the legislature will make
this year will be that by which the Republican
party will stand on or fall in Minnesota in the
next campaign. It will be that by which the
party will be measured by the public, and there
is all the greater need, therefore, for honest
and competent leadership. Jerry J. in Mime
apolis Journal
True, very true, Jerry. Both
branches of the legislature are over
whelmingly Republican, and for any
sins of omission or commission by this
legislature the Republican party will
be held responsible.

Gov. PINGREE's message to- the
Michigan legislature is replete with
good sense and practical suggestions
and recommends tions. Some of his
remarks are as applicable to the Min
nesota legislature as to that Of Michi-
gan. For instance, The cost of gov
eminent of the State should be lessened
by the reduction of the charges of de-
partments and Of State institutions,
proportional to proper maintenance
and administration, and to the re-
duced cost of living incident to the
general decline of values. [ also rec
ommend, in order to secure the proper
distri button of the public burdens, that
all forms of wealth bear their just
proportion of taxation Gov. Pin
gree is opposed to the taxation OF
mortgages upon real estate. Hescon-
siders it double taxation. It seems
that they have the same trouble incol-
lecting taxes upon timber lands in
Michigan that we have in the north-
ern portion of our own State. In re.
ferring to this matter Gov. Pingree
recommends the passage Of a law pro
hibiting the cutting and removaIso Of
timber from lands upon which taxes
are due and unpaid.

In a recent issue of the Reuieao of
ReUieaUs Prof. J. w. jerks proposes a
for the ever recurring def
cheney in the national treasury. He
would have a congressional budget
through whose Offices estimates of
necessary and wise expenditures would
be made. Then let congress supply
the measures to secure the necessary
revenue, being as careful to avoid a
large surplus as a deficit. Herecom-
mends that the internal revenue sys-
tenn be used as a balance wheel to ad-
just the revenues to the expenditures,
thus avoiding, as heretofore, the di-
rect tax. His suggestion has consid-
cradle merit and should be considered
by-congress.

The bishops Of the ecclesiastical

The bishops of the ecclesias tical
archdiocese Of Quebec are endeavoring
to stamp out a French Liberal paper.
The Electeur, as it was called in De-
cember, supported the present premier
and approved the Manitoba school set
Element. The bishops forbade MEM
bers of the church from reading the
paper under penalty Of exc mm unica-
ton, SO the publishers changed the
PAPERS name, thus thwarting thsGde-
signs of the mandment. As this sim
pie method of lodging the prelates
can be used on each publication day it
is difficult to see how the bishops will
accomplish their purpose. Whatever
may be the outcome, however, the at
fair is attracting widespread attention
as a counterpart of incidents Of medic.

our government seems powerless to pre-

AMERICAN ECONOMIST: The entire
industrial system is a great corpora
tive enterprise. The farmer produces
food for the manufacturer to consume
and the manufactures produces goods
for the farmer to consume. The manu-
facturer of boots and shoes consumes
the products of the manufacturer of
clothing and vice versa. The work
man gets work when the manufacturer
has market for his products and gets
good wages when the manufacturer
gets good prices. In Major McKinley's

MILLER rs UNJUST.

Senator Miller has broke loose on
Gov. Clough again and claims that the
honors Of the election belong to John
Lind inasmuch as Clough ran about
$4,000 behind his ticket. Miller:s
claim that Clough ran $4,000 behind
his ticket is not true. Here are the
figures, Mckinley, 1913, SOB; Clough,
l65, 1906, difference of $4,000 between
Clough and Mckinley instead Of $4,000
as given by Miller's paper. Consider
ing the opposition to Clough he made
a wonderful campaign. Thousands Of
gold Democrats in this state voted for
Mckinley but in local affairs voted the
straight Democratic ticket This in
itself would be enough to make quite a
difference between the votes for
mckinley and Clough. The Wash
burn forces all over the state, thirsting
for, revenge, waged relentless war on
Clough and cut off thousands of votes
that went to Lind to reward him for
his loyalty to Wash burn in his contest
for the senatorship. In the face of the
fact that Clough was opposed by the
Democrats, Populists, Free Silver Re
publicans and Washburn Republicans
and that he then received the largest
vote ever cast for a governor in this
State his election is a great triumph.
The fight is over. IF Clough has any
shortcomings the Gazette has no. dis
position to .palliate them, but in the
face Of the opposition to him it seems
unjust and unfair for Senator Miller,
whosis holding down a good position at
the hands of the Republicans party, to
give aid and comfort to the enemy and
to harrass Republican victors after the
battle has been, fought and won. Stay,

Under eternal snow and ice the
geological formations of northern and
western Alaska lie hidden, and the
scientists who have visited that won
dsr'and have given us little definite
Information concerning the nature of
the strata. 1t is true that most of the
rocks exposed near the gold dlggings
and in the famous Chilkoot pass are
Of gneous origin, being composed OF
impure granite or syenite, aud the
moraines of living glaciers are ma de
up of the same kind of materials.
which might be taken as an indication
that the bed rock of Alaska is all
granite.
But there are other facts which
show that the formations are varied,
and that the territory is not devoid
of rocks of a more recent geological
age. Away up along the western
coast great cliffs of carbonferous
limestone have been discovered, and
at the same place there are fossil
glaciers supposed to be the remains
Of the great glacier of prehistoric
time, which came down as far south
as Pennsylvania.
There is good field for the geo.
logist in Alaska at present, and he is
needed there to point out the trend
Of the strata, tell the world the nature
of the for,.lations and explain whether

ell from the grinding up of the indi-
genous rocks, or was scooped up out
