JUDGE ELL TORRANCE, commander
1n-chief OF the Grand Army of the Re-
public, says: GAIL the veteran soldier
of the Union desires is that the laws
be justly and fairly administered &C.
cording to their reasonable intend
ment, and that all who are entitled to
receive their benefits shall enjoy them
without diminution or unreasonable
vexatious delays, and that every un-
worthy claim shall be. rejected and
every fraudulent ,pensioner stricken
from the rolls. D. Many old soldiers
have got the idea that the pension de-
partment has been. run: too much on
the supposition that the older the
soldiers got the more their statements
had to be discounted. What the old
soldiers want is just what Judge Tor
rance says, no more and no less. The
pension department must bear in mind
that our old soldiers are not renewing
their youth, but on the contrary are
fast marching to 1.-THE bivouac to the
Dead" and it certainly is the govern
ment's duty to be as liberal as possible
with the boys of 81.

O. c. GREGG, :, superintendent. of
Farmers Institutes, who has been
down in New York lecturing at the
New York farmers Institutes, returns
with gloomy reports of agricultural
conditions in that state. He says.the
cheapest improved farms IN the coun-
try to-day are to be found in New York
state. Mr.. Gregg says the farmers
look on the dark side of things and
seem to have come to the conclusion
that they have little chance in the
competition with the aggressive west.
He says that there has been too much
overcropping and poor farming meth
DDS by New York farmers. Many fine
farms with the best of improvements
are ridiculously low in price and can
be bought to-day for less than the cost
OF the original improvements. This
would indicate that the east is not all a
flower garden and a bed of roses.
New York is in need of few more

locked the secret of successful farming
on old and WORKOUT farms.

The people living up around Mile
Laos lake are very much incepsed over
the report of Inspector Sinks of the
State board of health on smallpox in
that section. It seems that Mr.. Sinks
rushed into print the first opportunity
after he reached the cities and gave
out report that was wholly without
any foundation and was wild and woolly
to say the least. There have been a
few cases of the disease around Mile
Laos lake the same as elsewhere
throughout the State, but in Justice to
the authorities and the people living
at the lake the UNION would say that
Mr.. Sinks published statements and
reports do that country a great injus-
tice. Further comment on this matter
will be found elsewhere in the UNION.
Mr.. Sinks should go way back and sit
down.

THE people of the city of Chicago
have decided by vote that they are in
favor of the ownership of all street
railroads in the city, also for the own
ership of all the gas and electric light
ing plants OF the city, and for the nom
ination of all candidates for city Offices
at primary elections. These PROPOSE
tions were submitted to the voters of
that city at the regular city election
recently, the propositions being SUBJ
mitted on separate ballot. The voter
was requested to vote Eyes" or "no"
on each one of the questions, and each
one was carried by very large ma
jority which would Indicate that the
people OF Chicago would like to have
charge OF the public utilities them
selves. That such municipal innova-
tions will take place in time there is
no question, but the whole system of
government has got to be more per-
feet than it is at the present time be-
fore such changes take place. There
is no doubt but what the people of
Chicago will be given the primary
election law, however, and then, presto
change. .......

THE convention held last week at
Louisville for the organization of a
new political party to be known as the
Allied Peoples party seems to have
been inflated chiefly by the same old
pair of political bellows that the Popu-
lists have used for some little time, as
the convention while it was an attempt
to unite all the So oalled reform forces
of the country, was controlled by the
great lights of Populism.

"Oh, foolish little acron, wilt thou be all

and I.''-Lymon Abbott. D. D.
Governor Van SAINT has issued pro-
clamation fixing April Is as Arbor
Day in Minnesota and urging the peo-
pie of the State generally to unite in
it's observance. The proclamation is
as follows:
"Approaching springtime has
brought back to US the song birds
which make Minnesota their summer
home, and the bursting buds suggest
the planting Of trees, shrubbery and
vines that our homes and public places
may be made more beautiful and at
tractive.
II especially urge, that upon the day
Indicated, appropriate exercises be
held in every school within the State,
to the end that our youth may be
taught to appreciate the beauties of
nature and the Importance of protect
ing and preserving the birds of our
State.
II further recommend, in common
with the executives of many other
states of the union, that upon said day
trees be planted in memory of William
Mckinley, our late lamented president.
His we'll known love for trees and the
beauties of nature make it especially
appropriate that his memory be thus
honored."
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Olsen has also issued his Arbor day
bulletin which he has sent to the
schools throughout the State. He
emphasizes the Importance of not con-
fining the Arbor day work to the mere
planting of trees, but to make it the
occasion for a general cleaning up of
the school yards and the beautitying
OF the school rooms, and to encourage
the birds by protecting them and pro-
viding for their comfort.
In the past ten years the school chill
dren of Minnesota have planted over
100000 trees on the school grounds.
Last year over 1900 trees were
planted. There are, however, 1900
schools in the State without a tree
near them, and last year 5000 districts
in the State did not observe Arbor day
in any form. The superintendent will
urge more general observance this
year.

THE senate last week passed the OLE
omargarine bill by a vote of 80 to 81.
The bill has been stubbornly fought
ever since it was introduced in con-
gress, but the dairy interests of the
country were all powerful and in pass
ing the bill congress has acted in the
interests of a majority of the people.
The measure as passed by the senate
differs in some respects from that
passed by the house of representatives.
1t provides that oleomargarine and
kindred products shall be subject to
all the laws and regulations Of any
State or territory, or the District of
Columbia, into which they are trans
ported, whether in original packages
or otherwise; that any person who sells
oleomargarine and furnishes it for the
use OF others, except to his own family,
or who shall mix with it any artificial
celebration that causes it to look like
butter, shall be- held to be a manufac-
turer, and shall be subject to the tax
provided by existing laws; that upon
oleomargarine colored so as to resem-
bic butter tax of ten cents pound
shall be levied; and upon all process or
renovated butter the tax shall be one
fourth OF a cent per pound. The man
ufacturers of process, renovated or
adulterated butter shall pay an annual
tax OF $500, the wholesale dealers shall
pay tax OF $3.50, and the retail deal
fers tax of S48 perannum.

The question ''What shall we do
with our ex-presidents?" seems to be
under discussion at the present time,
but as we never seem to be bothered
much with ex-presidents there is little
in the topic to excite public comment.
We have, only one at the present time,
and he seems to be getting along very
nicely in the peaceful and cultured
precincts of Princeton. An eastern
paper has suggested that we make
them senator's for life, as their services
would be of great benefit to the coun-
try in this capacity. That might be
so, but even great men after having
retired from Office sometimes are apt
to lose their prestige by going back
into public life. After a man has been
president of the United States for one
or for two terms it would seem to be
more in the line of the eternal fitness
OF things for him to retire to private
life and If needs be take up his chosen
profession or assume some useful posi-
tion in the walks of private life, rather
than to again engage in political strife.
