What Governor Lind Has Accomplished.
That John Lind has made good gov
ernor--the best that Minnesota has had
for many years-is ACKNOWLEDGED by all
unprecedented people. It is this very fact
that causes the partisan Republican press
to sneer at his record and to bclittle
what he has accomplished in the interests
of the people. In this class is the News
Tribune that never misses a chance to
misrepresent and SANDER him. All the
Republican papers in the state, however,
are not given to this unfair treatment of
the. governor. The Aitkin Age, for in
stance, not only admits that John Lind
has made good governor, but specifies
some of the things he has accomplished
for the benefit of the state. The Alex
andria Post-News, bitter partisan like
the News Tribune, having criticised the
Ages statement that he has made good
governor and asked in what way, the
Age replies as follows: "Yes, it was bv
| vetoing the Miller bill, which was drawn
by Mills, member of the railroad and
| warehouse commission, and the railroad
candidate at the present time. It was by
the overhauling he has given the grain
inspection department; Brother Mitchell
| will not pretend to say that there has been
as much dissatisfaction among the farmers
over the grain inspection as there was
| under Clausen's administration. 1t was
by the firing of Kenyon and the appoint
ment of Pope AS public examiner that
Lind has made good governor. Kenyon
was the most incompetent man that has
ever occupied the position, while Pope
has saved the people thousands of dol
lars. Bowler may not be great success
as dairy and food commissioner, but we
| do not know that he has allowed those
| interests to languish. There is at lesst
| one improvement in Bowler over his
predecessor, he can speak English and
is able to write his reports in the Ian
guage of the land When you goto his
office it is not necessary to take al in
| terpreter along. The Age is not the
champion of John Lind, but it does be-
lieve in treating him fairly, and If some
of the Republican organs will quit lying
about Lind and support Capt: Van SAINT
because he Is Republican, because be
believes in, and stands for, Republican
principles, 1t will be much more effect
i've support" The editor OF the Age was
until recently one of the chief clerks in
State Auditor Dunns office and there
fore enjoyed especially good opportun-
tiles for learning what Governor Lind
and his appcintees are doing.
l. The supreme court has decided the
appeal of State ex rel. Railroad and
Warehouse Commission, appellant, vs.
United States Express company, respond
ent, which has a vital bearing upon the
powers OF the appellant commission and
the rights, duties and obligations of
certain class of companies which come
| within its jurisdiction. The order of the
lower court ia this case is affirmed.
| The railroad and warehouse commits
sion submitted to the respondent certain
questions regarding its business and prop
erty and compelled it to answer them.
The company did return full informa-
tion as far as its business and property
in this state was concerned, but, as to it's
business and property outsids the state
and its interstate business, made no an
swer. Therefore the reIator began this
action to compel the respondent by man
damus to furnish the omitted informa-
tion, and the defendant answered that it
was impossible to furnish the required
information. %@ ...-s "s@..~
The trial court found that, while it
was not possible for the defendant to
furnish the information with accuracy,
1t was and is possible to make answer to
the questions with approximate accuracy.
The possibility of the 'sanimal story"
are remarkably we'll shown by Mr.. W.
"A. Fraser in his new tales, entitled
MoosWa Of the Boundaries. These are
stories of Rod, the Boy, and the fur.
bearing animals Of the Northwest and
the half breed trappers who hunt them.
Each of the tales teens with curious
