Mr.. Whitaker believes that no state in

deriving benefits from the Pan-American
exposition than Minnesota. Her location
of course, is the one great point in favor

the opinion OF this gentleman, bring ito
Minnesota a large number Of home-seeik-

that the appropriation made by the

GOVERNMENT SEED SHOP.

One of the most ridiculous governmental
fakes is the annual seed distribution to
the farmers through the various con-
gressmen Some attempts have been
made to do away with this grotesque con-
gressional graft, but the custom had be-
come too firmly rooted to be disposed OF
without struggle.
The seeds as they are distributed sell
dom arrive in time for use and if they did
no thrifty farmer would attempt to ex-
can have that done for him at the state
experiment station. In quantity the seed
is not sufficient to do any good but in the
aggregate 1t costs the country a right
smart sum.
The only good the system accomplishes
is in the line of congressional soft soap.
Certain newspapers and local men with
a supposed pull are made the agents of
the congressman to deliver the seed to
those who are supposed to be impressed
by such an evidence of congressional con-
sideration.
IF the money spent for this annual ap-
plication Of political soft soap were given
to the various experiment stations to be
invested in seed and delivered to those
who would follow out the instructions Of
the station it would be money well spent.
No one Is more interested In abolishing
this comedy than is the farmer himself.
But where is the country congressman
who has the backbone to stand up and
advocate it? Where is the secretary Of
agriculture who will take and keep a
and energy?

inspector under Fred C. Schiffmann at
that place, paid visit yesterday to the
city and incidentally called upon his
chief, with whom during the day he en-
joyed a yacht ride down the Mississippi.
Mr.. Marshall says that v6ry little bust
ness in his line is available at the Zenith
City at present, owing to the strike
among the employees of the steamers on
the lake. Transportation has been tied
up on this account. The strike is sup
posed to be practically settled now, how

that Duluth was SO cold Monday and

said that the commissioners had not de-

Gently states that a fortified canal would
be the first point of attack by a foreign
nation in case of war. There is no doubt
about this. To attempt to make an

would be to invite attack upon it at the

stronger than its weakest link, nation
is no stronger than its most vulnerable
point. An isthmian canal owned and. con

be that point.
