Minnesota Plant Life.

The scientigc literature of the North
west has been enriched by the addition
OF minnesota Plant Life" by-Prof.
Conway Macmillan, of the state univer-
sity. Those who know Prof. Macmillan
will conclude at once that his contribu-
ton to the printed knowledge of Min
nesota on so entic1ng theme as the
plant life of the state will prove of great
value both to students and to those who
care to keep informed Oh all that is of
interest concerning their commonwealth.
Indeed, the subject is one which could
enlist all the powers of Prof. Macmillan,
leading him into exhaustive researches
among the works of such authors who
have written before him, and into the
Businesses which still hold secrets for
those who are vigorous enough to search
them out.
The book, as book, is almost as in
viting as its contents. There are more
than five hundred pages of discussion
and description, four l-paee half-tone
plates of charming vegetable growth
and 400 smaller illustrations and cuts of
Minnesota plants and their favorite
hooks. There are forty-five chapters,
treating of everything in the way OF a
plant which grows in the state, whether
brought in by animals, Or planted here
in the beginning by hand which made
the earth and all that therein Is. The
book treats of everything from the tall
and valuable pine, spruce, hemlock, oak,
ash and other forest trees down to the
meekest weed that grows by the wayside
or bothers the farmer, and the fungi are
not neglected. That the book Is timely,
and the coming generation as we'll as
this will call Prof. Macmillan blessed, is
a statement which needs not the author
ity OF prophecy. There was place for
the book long before Prof. Macmillan
began it, and that place has been filled
to nicely which one cannot wholly APP
preciate until he has examined the book.

What is announced as successful test

What is announced as successful test
of wireless telegraphy under the john
SON ortie1 system was given at Milwau-
kee during the past week. Messages
were sent $50 feet and through half a
dozen partitions in leading hotel. The
apparatus used in the sending and re-
ceiving of messages consists of the or
binary telegraph key and sounder in
connection with an induction or spark
cell. The system is altogether different
from Marconi's invention and the in
ventors claim that messages can be
transmitted almost any distance at the
tate of ten or twelve words per minute.
The distance which a message may be
sent is regulated by the size of the in
ductlon or sparkling coil. The charac-
tiers transmitted eau be recorded as we'll
as received by sound. Prof. johnson
says a test of his invention will be Civ
en- in New York in two weeks, but pend
ing the issuance Of patents the secrets Of
the system are withheld.

Protection from Trusts.

The national grange, in session at
Springfield. Ohio, last week defines it's
position upon the question Of trusts as
follows:
eve are not opposed to associations
OF interest which merely lessen the cost
of production but we are decidedly OPP
posed to the misuse Of the power which
large combinations of capital give for
the purpose Of destroying competition
controlling production and arbitrarily
debating prices Of commodities. Associ-
alton, as opposed to legislation, is one
thing; combination, as opposed TO popu-
lation, is another. We are opposed to
corporations or trusts which control the

Hanna and McKinisy.


Referring e the Chicago Times Her
AIDS denial that Presldent Mckinley
Favored the retirement Of Mark Hanna
from republican politics, the Duluth
Herald sage
There is no doubt that the Times
Herald states the truth regarding the re-
llatlons between Mckinley and Hanna,
because the proprietor Of that paper is
also one OF the presidents most intimate
friends. It hardly needed the denial,
however, to stamp as false the story
about Hanna's retirement being desired
by the president. There may be many
Republicans who would like to see Han
Da deposed; there may be scores Of Re-
publican politicians who consider his
presence at the head Of their national
committee to be detrimental to the IN.
=terests of the party, but the president
does not take that view.
President Mckinley deserves credit for
standing by bis friend.
Even it, as the Republican party or
gans say, Hanna is personally more of
an issue than the party wants to carry,
does he not stand for exactly what the
Republican party represents
What more is Hannaism than McKin-
leyism.
Did not Hanna hold up the trusts and
raise campaign funds for McKinley's
election to the presidency
Have not Hanna and Mckinley kept
faith with the trusts by so shaping the
policy of the administration as to make
the people pay SIC to the trusts for ev-.
cry dollar contributed by the trusts to
the Hanna Mckinley campaign fund.-
Because Hanna's home city Of Cleve-
land, which elected the Republican
county ticket by $4,000, gave $4,000
against Hanna's candidate for governor,
the Republicans ought not to desert the
man whom President Mckinley placed
in the United States senate.
Without Hanna there would have been
no Mckinley.
This being the case, the president
would be very ungrateful if he turned
against Hanna now.

are granted them by railroads, :.hus en-
abling them to undersell and force to

otherwise compete with them. We en-

demand fair play. The construction Of
the Erie canal benefited the farmer.
Competition has reduced the price Of
transportation in New York 30 per cent
during the past twenty five years.
The expansion Of our territory and
commerce tends to increase the number
of capitalized associations.
The greed and selfshness which too
often actuate men has become an ele-
ment Of danger and must be controlled.
Il must be made impossible Cor SCALED
trusts to accumulate millions by selling
watered stock without adding to the
wealth of the country.
Therefore we recommend:
First-inspection of all corporations
as in the case of national banks. Nncor-
poration should be tolerated whose
books cannot bear such inspection.
Second Prohibition of all rebates or
determinations by public carriers.
Third Taxation on all capital stock.
Fourth-All capital stock should be
paid up in full with severe penalty for
violation of the law; (a) by forfeiture of
charter, fine and Imprisonment; 1b) by
impeachment, fine and imprisonment Of
all public officials whose duty it may be
to enforce the law and who fail to per-
form chat duty.
Suggestions-W would advise many
petitions to congress to pass remedial
legislation along the lines above sug-
gested. We ask the members of CUR
body to secure that legislation not in
conflict with national laws, but suited to
the peculiar requirements Of their re
spective states. One of the greatest eyl-
dence of trusts is their power to control
elections and corrupt officials. This can
be remedied by educating the people.
Meanwhile we must control by the
strong arm of authority. One principal
worthy Of consideration is thus stated
Whenever monpolies are based upon the
acquisition of nearly the entire supply
of national treasures of any sort or up
on exclusive ownership of raw material
of any kind, government ownership Of

ownership of the source eof. supply is

An Unnatural Parent.

Henry Watterson has advised Democ-
racy that it will be useless to make
trusts an issue in the next campaign, be-
cause the Republicans can shout "Down
with trustsr' louder than can the Demo-
Gratis. Why Mr.. Watterson should ten
der such advice is not easy to under
stand. Why should not Democracy raise
its voice against sstrusts," and when did
Watterson learn that Democracy had
lost it's voice2 Whatever may be advised
or thought by him will not in all prob
ability prevent the Democrats from m ak
ing fierce campaign against the evil of
trusts, and it is the opinion of many in
the party that this question, if pressed
home upon the Republican party, will
be most disastrous for it.
II don't know how it isl remarked
distinguished Republican on his return
from Europe recently, "but somehow or
other the people seem to associate the
=
Republican party with trusts"
And that is just it.. Not all promoters
and members OF trusts are Republicans,
but the policy of that party has fostered
them and made their present dimensions
possible. It it was formerly accepted as
true by Republicans that not all Demo.
Gratis were horse thieves, but that all
horse thieves were Democrats, it can to-
day be accepted as more serious truth
that all Republicans are not interested
in trusts, but all trusts are Republicans
in their interests.
The people know this, and all the talk
and all the campaign bawling Of Repub-
lican papers and speakers could not eff
face that knowledge. Many Republican
politicians are not in position to attack.
The trusts, and in Minnesota we have no..
table examples Of this kind in the persons
of Congressman Tawney, of the First dis.
trict, and Congressman Morris, Of the
Sixth district. Their anxiety to protect
the poor, down-trod lumbermen led.
them to strain every nerve to have 4.
prohibitiye duty imposed on lumber i'm.
ported. They succeeded and placed the.
whole Northwest at the mercy Of o 81 I.
gantic combination Of the big lumber
firms. And now Mr.. TaWney is bowling
for the abolition of trusts, and Page
Morris joins in the chorus. As M. Balzac
very justly remarks in one of his stories !.
Unhappy man, would you destroy the.

Republican party TO turn upon and Iend

The Filipino junta at Hong Kong is
becoming more active as the meeting of
Congress approaches. A pamphlet signed
by Felipe Buencamino, so-called secre-
tary for foreign affairs of the Philippine
republic, is being received by senators
and representatives. The pamphlet sets
forth the various reasons why this gov
eminent should be recognized and has
an appendix containing the various dis
patches, kilograms and orders that passed
between the United States and the lnsur-
gents at the time of the war with Spain.
On these documents Senor Buencamino
seeks to raise the impression that the
Filipino republic was to receive recog-
milton from the government.

Is seems that the company wanted to
condemn a strip-of land adjoining its

to the court for the appointment OF
commissioners, which application was
on the ground that the directors
had never met and passed resolutions
to extend the road, and flied them with

noon, for the purpose of obtaining the
sentiment of the student body regarding
the support of athletics the coming sea-
son. and providing this sentiment should
prove favorable, 10 devise ways and means
for the collecting of money to defray the
expense of athletic team maintenance
The meeting was very largely attended

brief resume of athletics at the institute
their present status and touched upon the
steps necessary to place them upon d
solid basis at the institute.
THE members of our faculty." said Mr.
Coombs. ARE all in favor of athletics
Many of those who are generally set down
by the students as being opposed to ath-
le+ics are really in favor Of them and
have many times rendered assistance to
those who are prominent in athletics -
Prof. Coombs said that 5000 would be
needed if base bail team was to be sup
ported that track athletic team would
cost SO, and that to send a relay team to
Philadelphia to participate in the Uni
Yersity Of Pennsylvania relay races. $50
additional would be required. Mr.. Coombs
said personally he was in favor of having
the institute represented at PHILADELPHIA.
and believed that it was in relay racing
that the best showing could be made He
did not consider the outlook in base bali
very encouraging, but said it rested with
the students which teams should be MAIN
tained.
The same policy in raising the money
will be followed this Year as in past sea-
sons. The directors Of the association
will circulate subscription papers among
the classes, one paper being made up for
base pail. another for track athletics and
d third for the relay team If The eIIh
scription for the teams EQUALS the amounts
required those teams will he supported.
