GOOD ROADS AND PRISON LABOR.

Al. the suggestion of the state asso-
citation of members of board of super
yisors at its Marshalltown meeting, the
railway commissioners of the state have
taken up the matter Of the reduction of
freight rates on road material with
several Iowa railroads, with the result
that much progress has been made in
tlat direction. The representatives of
most of the roads have entered heartily
into the plan and haye agreed to put
in rates that will amount practically to
the actual cost OF hauling and delivering
the material.
For the state to derive all the benefit
possible from this low rate the law in
re gard to furnishing crushed stone free
t. counties, townships and cities, must
b. revised and amended. The law
should provide that the convict labor at
Anamosa should be put to preparing
stone for macadamizing public high
ways. AS the law is now only ''refuse"
stone or that (Which is not used for
building purposes by the state" can be
furnished for improving the roads. But
no county, township, town, city or road
district can obtain to exceed ten cars
per month, until all like orders are
filled. Building'good roads is now done
by contract,and procuring stone must
be continuous. Delays such as would be
unavoidable if stone was procured from
Anamosa as the law now reads, would
make the profter Of free stone by the
state as of little value.
Then if any considerable use is to be
made of the Anamosa crushed stone in
road b building, the supply must be in
creased. The state might do something
more in the encouragement of good road
building than supplying the stone free
on board the cars. 1t could kill two
birds with one stone. Paying the
freight up to certain limit would be
giving encouragement to road building
which one might term one bird. This
liberality would. perhaps, require the
labor of all the able bodied prisoners
sent to Anamosa. Furnishing them EN-
ployment in an industry which did no:
come in competition with free labor
would bring down the second bird.
This problem of employing convict
labor in work that would not bring it
4 in com petition with free labor might be
solved, to quite an extent, by the state
supplying crushed stone for good roads,

Chicago Chronicle: The very cruel
hand of fate seems tobe laid heavily
ON Governor Leslie M. Shaw of Iowa,
who has expressed vivid aspirations to
be the republican candidate for presi-
dent when the next chance comes. He
seemed to want to follow Allison, who
always pursued the presidency but nev.
er reached it. Now Shaw's hopes are
dashed and shattered. At a recent
scampaign meeting in Des Moines at
which Speaker Henderson presided and
Senator Fairbanks Of Indiana was the
attraction Mr. Henderson introduced
the orator by saying that he would be
the republican candidate for president
after president Roosevelt had served out
his second term. This was theh icy
weight laid on Governor Shaw as an
aspirant for the presidency.

LAWS AGAINST ANARCHY.
There are laws against anarchy. and

good ones.
"Thou shalt not kill"
"Thou shalt not covet."
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
SELF"
And besides these constitutional laws,
enacted for the government of the race,
man has the right to enact as many
|non.conflicting personal statutes as he
may wish.
In other words, the laws against anar-
chy are the laws in support of manhood
and intended for tie protection OF
humanity. No man ever believed too
much to make him good man. There
is no good belief that would be an injury
to any man. If the requirements Of
manhood could have been made less by
the ruler of the universe it is to be sup.
posed that the standard would have
been lowered so that the number of men
might have been increased. All that
has been required of one is required of
all. Those who practice part of the
virtues and neglect other parts are set
ting an example Of neglect and defiance
that may be enlarged upon to the det-
riment of themselves and of the world.
In the broadcast sense, no man has
the right to violate any of the laws of
nature. No man has the right to neg
lect to do the things that he requires
his neighbor to, do. The anarchist
against human government is criminal.
The anarchist opposed to nature is the
greatest criminal. Human government
may change. Natural laws will never
change. Nations may disappear. The
world will ever exist. Example is a
great teacher. There are men high in
the counsels of the state and nation,
men prominent in society and leaders
in organizations having to do with the
theoretical guidance of the world who
are popularly known as evaders of taxes;
covetous, dishonest; taking the lives of
their fellow men by the slow process of
deprivation for their own gain; holding
in contempt the man and brother. Are
these anarchists? Are they defying the
laws OF God and man? Are their skirts
clear of the crime of inciting to reprisal?
Do they know that the ignorant hold
the state, hold society and the church
responsible for the things that the state,
society and the church tolerate? If they
have not this knowledge they should
learn, but they will not. They are
ljoined to their idols. They care not
for the sufferines Of others and take
their chances Of escape. They know
that some one must suffer for their acts
and they hope to keep the reward while
subjecting others o.the penalty.-Cedal
Rapids Gazette.

Recent dispatches tell of Russians and
Germans founding colonies in Colorado
where beet sugar will be the only crop
raised. With Europeans the industry
has passed the experimental stage. The
department of agriculture in this coun-
try LAS aided in the work of securing
good varieties Of beets. So successful
has the department been atsecretary,
of State Wilson has prophesied that in q
few years one state will produce enough
sugar for the whole United States.
If the sugar trust undertakes to throt.
tie such rapidly growing industry. it
will undertake a big job. To corner the
output in few years will be almost like
buying all the wheat or corn at the
present time.-St. Louis Republic.

NOT AN INFANT.

1t is said that the prominence given
by the press to the rate war which was
inaugurated against the beet sugar in
dustry has caused the sugar trust to
desist. Needless to say this is good
news. Western farmers do not care to
have a crop which has promised great
profits ruined by the trust.
According to report, the rate war was
not all against the beet sugar interests.
The trust has purchased the Cuban out
put of cane and now wants reciprocity.
The fight against the beet sugar indus
try was simply warming for them to
keep out of the fight. If reciprocity is
secured there is every prospect that the
immense holdings of the trust will be
admitted free into this country.
No claim is made that the sentiment
aroused by the arbitrary actions of the
trust was the sole cause for a cessation
of hostilities. The beet sugar men
showed themselves good fighters. They
are doughty lot of warriors, who, in
stead Of quietly surrendering to the mo-
nopoly, went after more capital with
which to build factories. They plainly
gave warning that they meant to stay.
In this connection the growth of the
beet sugar industry is interesting as
showing the basis upon which its pro.
moters rely in their struggle. Three
years ago only $4,000 tons of beet sugar
were produced in the United States. Last
year the output was $4,000 tons. The
estimates for this years crop place the
amount at 100000 tons, principally
divided among the states as follows:

Monkeys

Cali well-all happy-lots
Of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
cf Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of Scott's
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
lapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
shen themonkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it's
cheaper to buy Scott's Emul-
sion than new monkeys and
that suits the circus men.

SHOOTING AT
TURTLE RIVER
Game of Cards Ends lin Tragedy
Edward Bernard Shot In the
Groin by C. D. Sc0tt.

On Friday last, at Turtle River
village, in the saloon of Richard
Williams, took place q tragedy
that may result in the charge OF
murder against one G. ID. Scott.
who shot Edward Bernard in the
groin with a revolver.
The story is that Bernard and
Scott and one William Hayford
were engagedin a game of CARDS..
and that some dispute arose be-
tween them, and either Scott or
his partner made some accusa-
tion of unfairness against Ber-
nard and started to assault him;
that Bernard got in the first
blow and struck the man Hay
ford i'm the face. that he then
backed off and stood in the
middle of the floor, when Scott
drew a revolver and began firing
at him, shooting over his head
once and then shooting him in
the groin. He then fell on the
floor, and a doctor from the Nc
Garry hospital at Farley was
summoned, but the man was re-
moved to Farley before the doc
tor arrived. The hospital was
not prepared to receive him
Tt was not until the afternoon
of the day after the shooting that
The Bemidji pioneer., 1901-12-05

the sheriff was notified that any
thing of the kind had occurred,
and he at once drove to Turtle
River for the purpose of making
an arrest, if necessary. The
man Scott had disappeared, and
the sheriff finally found Hayford
in bed in a house of prostitution
near the village, being able to
identity him by black eye which
he had received at the hands OF
Bernard. So far as the sheriff
could discover in Turtle River no
effort had been made to arrest
the man Scott by the village au-
thorities; and the man Williams,
who runs the saloon, had acted
the part of an errant coward.
Hayford is in jail.
Bernard was subsequently
brought to Bemidji to st. An
thongs hospital, where he was
taken charge of by DR.. Blakeslee,
the county physician. He had
been working in the woods near
Turtle River, but was not pos
sessed of a hospital ticket. DR..
Blakeslee thinks he will recover,
and as the wound is in a healthy
condition, he has not thought fit
to probe for the bullet.
It was reported on Monday
that Scott had been seen in the
neighborhood of Blackduck, and
on Tuesday morning two deputy
sheriffs took the train for Black
duck to see if he could be found.

SUICIDE
AT BAGLEY.
Albert GiibertsOn Hangs Himself
at That Place Last Satur-
day Night.

At Bagley, about 10 o'clock
Saturday night, occurred the
first suicide by hanging in the
history of Beltrami county.
A few days ago Albert Gilbert
son and his partner, both labor
ers, hired out to Swan Torkelson
to cut cordwood during the com.
ing winter.
They finished their camp the
day before and had just moved
in and were sitting by the fire
talking Saturday evening until
about 9:45, when Gilbertson's.
partner (whose name we have not
been able to learn), stepped out
side, returning in about Is min
utes, to find Gilbertson hanging
to the ceiling of the cabin with a.
rope around his neck, dead.
Albert Gilbertson was a man
about 35 years of age, single, and
a resident of Bagley. He had
been acting queer for some time
previous. but no one thought that
he would contemplate suicide.
He has relatives living in Fosston.
