The Boxelder Bugs.

Concerning the rad bugs that in
fest the boxelder trees, and which are
so plentiful here, Prof. Lugger of the
state university says of sample lot
sent him for examination: The bugs
live on the under side of the leaves
of the boxelder, piercing the leaves
with their beaks, and sucking the sap.
When cold weather comes in the fall
they leave the trees and search for
winter quarters, as they pass the win
ter in the adult stage and lay eggs
in the spring. They live over winter
under wooden sidewalks, in out
houses, rubbish piles, etc. When
searching for winter quarters they are
often seen on warm day sitting in
large crowds in sunny places on side
walks, tree trunks, etc. They ought
now to be killed by pouring boiling
water on them, or kerosene oil, or
sweeping them into pan, etc. Kero-
sene oil must of course not be poured
on tree trunks. When still on the
trees they can be killed by spraying
with kerosene emulsion, but as it
takes quite large spray pump to
spray large tree we'll, in hardly
paws one pers1n to do 1t for a few
trees. But if the town or city would
take hold of it, it would pay many
times over, as many other injurious
insects would also be killed. The
boxelder bug, unlees very numerous,
does no immediate serious damage,
but its presence year after year of
course greatly weakens the trees and
retards their growth, and it ought to
be killed wherever possible.

Address of Judge Willis.

Every speech. made by a Demo
crat at Morris this year only. serves
more and more to convince the peo-
pie Of Stevens county that there is
absolutely nothing sound to be said
in favor of the Democratic doctrines,
The address Of Judge Willis, of st.
Paul, on Monday evening, capped the
climax. From man who had risen
to the position of judge of district
court, the people had right to ex-
pect good solid argument if the
Democrats have any to offer. AS it
was, his argument was SO fnll of
holes, that tn wind whistled through
it from beginning to end.
On state issues, he gave Lind credit
for the just taxation of mineral
lands and mines "a matter that was
all adjusted before Lind was elected.
He dug up the gross earnings bill,
but he did not even essay to answer
Senator Young's masterfuI argument.
In discussing prison twine, he said
nothing about Judge Canty's junket
to the Philippines, nor about the un-
businesslike manner in which the
twine plant has been operated.
On national issues, he spent much
time with the old issue of protection
right in the face of the fact that the
Democrats no lenger favor free trade,
and that they have made miserable
failure of every attempt to reduce the
tariff. The removal of the tariff will
curtail the operations of the trusts at
the most only to the extent that they
are protected by the tariff. Az in
vestigation Of the DingIey bill will
show that only few of thetrust con-
trolled articles are protected with a
tariff, and it is we'll known that it the
past year, the subject of reducing the
tariff on these articles has been dis
cussed much more III Republican
than in Democratic circles.
Imperilisln and militarism came in
for a scoring. and the Example of
ancient Rome was ezhumed. This
portion of his address was all the
most pessimistic kind of rant utter
ly unworthy of a SPEAKER who had any
respect for either his own candor or
the intelligence of his audience. His
statements hsye been disproyed again
and again and his deducti ons were
both illogical4and insincere.
The audience was comparatively
small and expressed no enthusiasm
except when a good story was told,
The whole speech was especially dis
custing to the conservative and inde-
pendent class of voters. @

1 The only burden that has ever been
placed upon the people. of Minnesota at
the instigation and for the benefit OF
railroads was that laid upon them by
the Democratic legislature of 1857 when,
the immense railroad bond of $2,275, 900
was made, and the only burdens ever
laid upon the railroads have been laid.
upon them by the Republican legis,a-
lures of succeeding years, such as the
bill to tax unused railroad lands, the
various bills recognizing the rights @
shippers and passengers, and the Great.
amount of legislation relieving the bur-
dens of the railroad worl1ingman; and
no bill ever passed by any Republican
legislature was a greater burden to the

in the interests of the railroads This

and so palpably in answer to an emf

houses almost without opposition, md
had it gone into effect it would have
taken it's place with the Anderson bill,
and like railroad measures as a reform
and recognition of the rights of the
shippers as distinguished from the
rights of the railroad corporations. II

There have been some of the usual
charges Lby the Democrats that Judge
Mills, during the course Of his former
incambency of his Office of railroad
commissioners, had been friendly to the
] railroads. 1t is not at all necessary
! for any practical purpose to go into an
extended discussion of this subject,
/ but it is equally sufficient to say that
/ many of@the best railroad laws on the
/ statute books were drawn by Judge
1 Mills. One of these was the law au-
r thorizing the condemnation of sites on
the right of way of railroads for the
construction of elevators, and this law
has been productive of as great benefits
to the farming communities as any that
has ever been enacted. The law in
question is chapter 64 Of the General
Laws of 1893, and it has been upheld by
the courts and is still blessing to the
people of the state.
Another law, which is acknowledged
as one Of the most meritorious ever
! enacted, is that which Judge Mills
drew for Mr.. Jacobson in 1899, which is
chapter 100 Of the General Laws of that
year, prohibiting the railroad COM
panies, after having once put In effect
rate on hax, lumber, coal and live
stock, from raising such rate without
obtaining consent of the commission.
Another beneflcent law drawn by
Judge Mills in 1899 was that for Repre-
sentative McCollom, requiring railroads
to build platforms for the loading of
grain and other commodities, and it is |
recognized as the best platform law in |
any state in the West. It is also OBJ
servable that its provisions are so
binding that the railroads have made
NO attempt to evade It, While Mr.. Nc
COLON is entitled to the thanks of
every country shipper for procuring the
passage Of the law. Judge Mills is
equally entitled to credit for his skill
and labor in preparing the measure.
Another good law which Judge Mills
drew was that fixing the liabilities Of
all roads handling stock at the South
st. Paul Transfer, where loss was sus-
tanned by reason of neglect or delay in
the delivery Of stock to the terminal

The most notable. thing about Gov.
Lind's campaign speeches is his. fail
ure 10 explain the things that his long
promised and sensationally advertised
railroad rate revision did not do. It
was shown by the papers in the state
several weeks ago that the railroad
commission had completely abandoned
fits original ground, and instead Of ask
ing any revision or reduction of rates
had simply asked, or rather. petitioned,
the roads to add to the list OF terminal
pofNts three or four towns which
shipped none of, the commodities ms
cluded in the commodity rate allowed
/; at the terminal points. Gov. Lind may
explain to his personal friends at New.
Ul1n how they are to be benefited by
being placed on the list of terminal
points and permitted to ship from that
place at reduced rate some half dozen
commodities Of which they do not pro-
duce single one But he cannot, and
has not, attempted to show any logical
or acceptable reason why the railroad,
commission should have advertised for
six months that it was going to demand
and enforce reduced rate and then
iabjectly withdrew from Its position
without accomplishing one single thing
1T had promised.
The fact of the whole matter, as any
,dispassionate person can see, is that
the Democrats are simply appealing to
the farmers. who have just grievances
In certain cases, and making the same
kind Of indiscriminate promises that |
they made two and four years ago
without any hope or intention of full
filing them. Two years ago Gov. Lind |
made violent promises as to what he
was going to accomplish in the direc-
tion OF reforming the twine plant. In-
stead of reforming 1t he run it hum !
dreds Of thousands of dollars in debt.

The attempt Of CO. Lind " SM.lls M,
the memory Of former State An
Braden, now deceased, is shown up by
bob" Dunn to be one of the most
flimsy as well as despicable claims i'm
aginable. Mr.. Lind openly charged
Mr.. Braden with having mulcted the
state school fund out of $12, 2,00O, 900 by
conveying to mining companies a tract
of state mineral land. It is shown by
Mr.. Dunn that at the time Of the con-
veyance the valuable ore deposits were
unknown, and the land was disposed of
the same as any other state land. That
was before the wonderful richness Of
the Messaba iron range was liscov-
cred, and there was no law on our stat
ute books regulating the disposal Of,
such property simply because up to
that, time there was no occasion for
such a law.
Just as soon as the ore value Of the
lands on the range was discovered
Auditor Braden pre-emptorily refused
to sell any more land under the then
existing law, and he recommended to
the legislature the passage Of a law
for the future disposal Of the lands by
\ royalty on the ore taken therefrom.
This law was passed. Mr. Braden, in

A WONDERFUL EXHIBIT OF RINGS (

is not the case with the outlying regions.
where apparently the same process is going
on that marked the building up of the city.
1t is noticed that in some localities there
is what may be called almost mania for
building houses. and, to the minds Of those,
especially, who are interested IN particular
localities, the desire of people to rush into
those localities partakes of that character.
The phenomenon Is so recent as TO De
familiar to all, of rows and rows of houses
springing up in what used to be known as
the suburbs of the city, and those who live
here and pursue the even tenor of their
ways wake up some day and find to their
astonishment that where there used to be
vacant fields city homes now line paved
streets.
The Course of improvements.
Naturally they seek an explanation Of
this astonishing circunis tance, and while
they may be satisfied with the general
statement that the population Of the city
is increasing, and accept this as satisfac-
tory reason for the demand for the houses,
yet it still remains mystery why one sec
ton is favored in this way rather than
some other.
1t may, however, be a source of partial
enlightenment to note the fact that within
the old city limits, as we'll as in the newer
sections beyond these bounds, the course of
improvements as a rule follows the car
lines. In some cases the progress Is more
rapid than in others, but under all condi-
tions. and whatever the growth. 1t Is deter
mined atgeiy by the extent OF the facilities
OF communication.
The most notable instance in late years
perhaps is the building up Of the Columbia
Heights region, which had its beginning
with the extension up, the hill OF the

Some people are apparently puzzled by
what seems to them to be the lack of rea-
son in the direction of improvements and
population in this city. Sections which by
nature, in the opinion of many, offer ad-
vantages which are superior to those of
other sections by some strange perversity
are neglected, and less favored localities
are the chosen places for homes. While
this tendency has been apparent all along
in the development of the city, yet the con-
