RUAORS of iobbery in connection with the
Minnesota board OF control are already preya-
lent In letting the contract for coal for the
various State institutions it appears that a
private deal was made at a higher price than

Frank Day, we are ashamed Of YOU.
Ii ever there was an honest, efficient
nonpartisan board it is the board Of
control of the State of Minnesota.
Anent fuel for State institutions, GOV.
Lind was a member of the State fuel
commission for two years and the treas
urer and auditor, the other two mem
bers of the commission, co-operated
with him in his endeavors to secure a
fair deal for the State. Did he sue
coed? No, on account of the law which
required the board to, advertise for
bids and award contracts publicly the
State was placed at the mercy of the
coal barons. The board of control this
year was obliged to reject all bids and
then, owing to the wording of the law,
was enabled to secure far better terms
for the State by making secret con-
tracts. The Sentinel is badly mistaken
when it says that "a private deal was
made at higher prices than had been
offered in sealed bids.''

The announcement of the death of
Robert G: Evans, which occurred at
his Minneapolis: home last Sunday
morning, shocked the people of Mime
sofa in every section of the State. No
man was ever richer in friends than he
and his, untimely death will be sin
cerely mourned. He came to this State
seventeen years ago in the vigor of
young manhood and by his industry
and ability succeeded in his chosen
profession in a greater measure than
usually befalls the lot of man. Soon
after arriving in the State he entered
politics and in this line soon gained
prominence, serving for nine years as
the Minnesota member of the National
Republican committee and later as
United States district attorney, an
honor which came to him unsolicited,
Last winter he was prominently men,
LlOneQ as CanQlQate TO succeed Hon.
c. K. Davis as United States senator
and the campaign which followed was
severe tax upon his strength. How
eyer disappointed he may have been in
the result he took his defeat grace
fully and added to his friends by his
conduct throughout the whole fight.
Soon after this came the death of his
beloved wife and his great grief at this
loss FASTENED his own end. Big, gen
erous, open-hearted Bob Evans is no
more, but of him it can be truthfu1ly
said, ''the world is better for his hav-
ing lived" .

William King, of Wyanette, suggests
that all the country roads be plowed

it and strew it on the travelled part Of

years ITODn now the laSI-naneu ln- dustry may by no means be the least, but the chief of these which contribute to the progress of the territory As far as horticulture is concerned, Arizona stands today about where Southern California was twenty-five years ago, when we were just emerging from the "cow country" era. Life and property are as safe today in Arizona as they are in any section of the United States, and indeed far safer than in many of our large cities. The terri tory has of late been filling up with aclass of intelligent settlers from the eastern states. With the introduc- tion of system of national irriga- tion of the arid lands-of the Uncle Sam, not Governor Murphy brand we may see in Arizona during the next decade, a development somewhat similar to that which has been witnessed in Southern Califor- mia during the past twenty years.
 It may, therefore, safely be grant ed that in population, in natural resources and in social conditions, the territory of Arizona is ripe for statehood. Doubtless a majority of its citizens desire statehood.
 The opposition to the admission of Arizona coming from the Los Angeles Times, was in the nature of surprise Arizona and Cali fornia are closely allied in trade relations and social intercourse. Their interests are in a great meas ure mutual. The advancement of Arizona means more business for California and the admission of Arizona to statehood means a rapid increase in population and taxable wealth.
 The Los Angeles Times is at pres ent engaged in issuing a special Arizona mining number, which has been most literally patronized by the people of Arizona. The object of this special number is to invite capital to Arizona. There is money in this special edition for the Los Angeles Times. Probably among the number who have signed for big contracts are many democrats and republicans. The Times does not stop to draw the political line when it means money in the cash drawer of the Times-Mirror company, but when the entire people of Arizona unite in an earnest effort for state hood, and have banished political differences to the four winds, the Times steps in and says "Most of you are no good, you are democrats, and for that reason you should not be admitted to statehood"
 This line of reasoning eminates from a pinched and drawn intellect and the Times has proved itself that 1t is no friend of Arizona, when "a friend in need is a friend in deed"
 The Los Angeles Times, the Her ald and the Examiner all have a large circulation in Arizona. The two latter mentioned papers are staunch friends of the territory, while the Times glories in the fact that it is against us.

 Of the total white population 56, ,740,739 are native whites, con stituting 74.4 per cent of the total population, and 10,250,063 foreign whites, or 13.4 per cent of the total population. Native white persons are in turn subdivided into fl ,O53,- 417 of native percentage and 15,- 6S7 1922 of foreign percentage, con stituting respectively 53.S per cent and 20.6 per cent of the total population.
 The native white element has in- creased 23.3 per cent and the for eign white only 12.2 per cent since 1890. The native white element of foreign parentage has increased relatively twice as fast as the native whites of native parentage.-Los

THE PRESIDENT AND TRUSTS.

AS President Roosevelt has but limited
time in which to prepare his first annual
message to Congress it is probable he is
now engaged upon it. One subject that
III is pretty sure TO present with recon-
m~endations for action by Congress is that
of trusts. As he is a man of positive con-
victions it is more than likely he will pre-
which has engaged so large a share Of
public attention. The probable general
character OF his recommendation may be
inferred from some previous expressions.
Roosevelt is not opposed TO capital or to
corporations as such. but he is in favor
OF holding them to strict accountability
and making hem pay their share Of taxes.
Especially is he opposed 10 combinations
of capital in restraint of trade or Of legitl-
mate competition. As Governor Of New
York he sent a message 10 the Legislature
advocating the principle OF State taxation
OF public franchises, and he approved a
strong bill TO that effect. He also approved
an antitrust law. In his message to the
Legislature urging the passage of a law
taxing corporations he said: i nave not
the slightest sympathy with the cutlery
against corporations as such, or against
prosperous men OF business" He was care
fuI to discriminate between doing justice
by the people and doing injustice to cor
porations. lie emphasized this idea more

Cecil Rhodes Tells Where They Are

Julian Ralph. in New York Mail and Ex-
press.
1 asked Cecil Rhodes one day why it
was that. though he had an American
Gardner f. Williams) for his general
manager at the diamond mines, and the
lamented George Labram in his works.
though such gifted Americans as John
Hays and Mr.. Seymour were
conspicuous in the management of the
Rand gold properties. yet none was a large
owner of these properties.
Il should have expected to see Amer
leans on top as owners-not as salaried
men," said j.
Yes. so would any one." Mr.. Rhodes
said, but. you see. here in Africa they
came too late to get in on the ground
floor. The English and the foreigners came
first, and as soon as the operation of the
mines became difficult and novel methods
were required we sent for the Americans TO
help us out. We told them that at johann
nesburg we had to so deeper for our gold
than IL had ever been worked before. and
we asked them if they thought they could
devise and build engines of such unparal-
leled power as our needs required. They al
ways replied that what we asked was moth
ing out OF the ordinary 20 them. that they
had 10 meet bigger propositions in Cali
fornia, and that our little show was a
small thing compared to what they were
playing with in their mining regions. OF
course. this was all bunkum. but we did not
know it then. They had never had such diff
ficulties as ours To meet in California or
elsewhere in America. and they had never
built such enormous and powerful machines
as we required. However,, they went 10
work and did what We required. as no
other men in the world could have done.
That gift of breadth and fertility put them
in the high position they occupy i'm South
Africa. but. as l say. they came too late
to be among the large and original holders
Of the stock.
1.-The Englishman." said Mr.. Rhodes.
Lives in "a little country and can almost
stand anywhere In 1t and see over the
edges. He can run from one end of Eng
land 10 another in a few hours in a rail-
way train, and II he has a mind 10 he
can walk to any place easily instead of
riding This narrows the minds of our
people. Their horizon is near at hand,
their outlook is short, their ways are little.
The American is built larger to suit the
great continent across which his country
spreads. Everything In America is big
big distances. big views. big mountains, big
plains. big rivers. Consequently the Amer
lean has grown broad and big 10 meet his
surroundings. Nothing is too big for hir,
TO undertake. Nothing daunts him. That
is why we like TO employ Americans at the
head OF our working STATS and learn TO
rely upon them
