fragments hurled about. One of the
pieces passed close to his head and
bruised the lower part of his face Sc

would undoubtedly have proved fatal.
He was brought to New London where
he received surgical treatment and as
no bones were broken it is to be hoped
that he will soon recover.

Much as has been said and written

Much as has been said and written
about the insufficiency and incompet-
ency of some of Gov. John Lind's ap-
pointees, there is every reason to be-
lieve that much of the stuff upon that
line. given out to the public, was
nothing but skillful misrepresenta-
ton of we'll known facts, for the bene-
fit OF office-seekers, who care more for
personal gain than public interest
and whose only aim is a good fat po-
sition. That Coy. Van SAINT takes cog
nizance of this tendency and guards
against it as much as possible is amp
ly demonstrated by his retention in
Office of White and Haugdahl in the
food and dairy department. Both
men are populists but were appointed
under Lind's administration more on
account of their fitness for the work
expected of them than in consequence
of their political affiliations and it is
only to the credit of Gov. Van SAINT
that he gives preference to efficiency
over party service in an industry of so
vital Importance to farmers. No one,
of course, would blame him for ap-
pointing men of his own party to any
position if equally competent, but un-
til this can be done he should not be
blamed for selecting men for this
branch of this service from the ranks
of his political opponents.-St. Peter

Let us civilize the Filipinos, no

we must teach them. Examples speak

Gov. Van SAINT has signed the reap
portionment bill. Kandiyohi is still
in the seventh district, but it is new
district composed of the following
counties: Big Stone, Grant, Ira
verse, Pope, Swift, Kandiyohi, Chippe-
wa, Lac qui Parle, Yellow Medicine,
Lyon, Renville, Stevens, Lincoln and
Redwood. This makes more COM
pact district than the old seventh
which reached from the temperate zone
to somewhere near the North Pole.
Eddy was the only man who knew the
geography of that district, and this
was what gave him his best hold.
There were settlements hidden away
here and there that Eddy's opponents
never knew about, and consequently
the people never found out that there
was any other candidate in the field.

Aguinaldo was captured on the 23rd

letter was sent to Aguinaldo stating
that the detachment was an insurgent
force, and the few Americans with it
were prisoners. When Funston reach

fire on the unsuspecting Filipino
guard and in the CONSERVATION follow

E mer Adams, manager of Eddy

Elmer Adams, manager of Eddy's
campaigns, is man who generally
doesn't shy at anything done by his
party; but he couldn't refrain from
expressing his regret at Van SAINTS
action in retiring SIN. Owen from the
board OF regents of the university.
He says:
''It is to be regretted that Mr.. Owen
could not have been reappointed. He
has been a most valuable man on the
board, and the great development of
the agricultural college and farm
school is largely due to his work and
assistance. It is but stating the truth
to say that two of the best men on the
board of regents were John Lind and
S. M. Owen. The retirement of these
two men is serious loss to the uni
versity."

The nations owning their railroads

the feasibility of public ownership, as

adhere to it after having given it a
fair trial.
