Isolation of vicious women on an
artificial island he considers impracti-

would be futile, but he believes that,
as preventative of vice, the gridir on
sport is the panacea.
For more than a week the chancellor
of Nebraska university has been try
ing to tell the students of the Univer-
sity of Chicago what means will best
cure the social evil. From his idea
for a luxurious prison surrounded by
the lake and for a tug to carry the
"unfortunates'' but of the city, he
changed the idea of licensing every
vicious woman" in the great cities
He believes now that football is the
best of all the cures, and he was loudly
applauded by both CO. eds and gridiron
warriors when he advanced his new
idea.

Thomas W. Salisbury is accounted
respected lawyer of Rochester, N.
Y. He became infatuated with Miss
Anna Collins. pretty brunette, and
expended $ss. 81 in entertaining her.
A cold wave came in between the two
people and the love that was once ex-
changed turned to dislike. At any rate
the two hearts never beat as one
Now Salisbury wants to get his money
back and he has started an action in
court for that purpose. Miss Collins
declares that during the period men
toned Mr.. Salisbury and she were
keeping company, as is customary
with young persons of manageable
age and unmarried" and adds that
the money mentioned was expended in
her entertainment. Wherefore, she
demands that the suit be thrown out
of court as non-negotiable. Young
men should be sure that the girl ..is
going to stick to them forever before
they spend their money in entertain
ment.

WAS WRONGLY ACCUSED.

After several years it is learned that
it was not Justice Shiras, but Justice
Gray, who changed his vote on the
question of the constitutionality of
the income tax law, which was before
the United States supreme court for
adjudication. The recent change in
the personnel of the court has brought
this fact to light.
This is an illustration that some time
the truth will prevail and men &C.
cused of something they were not
guilty of will be set right before the
world. All these years Judge Shiras
has been forced to live under the I'M
just criticism that has been offered by
politicians and the public. And The
Duluth Herald make this editorial
utterance on the matter: Justice
Shiras was accused of changing his
vote on the final decision, with the re-
suit that the income tax was declared
unconstitutional. He has been openly
criticised in congress, on the stump,
by politicians who favored the tax and
in public places generally, yet he bore
the unjust criticism without protest
and without the statement being con-
tradicted by any other member of the
court. One of the traditions of the su-
preme court is that no affirmation or
denial is ever given by members of
the court of the secret deliberations IN
the conference room. During all these
years the legal and political world has
labored under the impression that it
was Jutsice Shiras who, at the
eleventh hour, changed his vote so
that the court stood five to four
against the income tax. This, how
ever, was once denied on the floor of
the house by Representative Dalzell of
Pittsburg.''

opposed readiustment of the tariff.
Whenever congress is Of the opinion
that the friends of protection
are strong enough to modify the tariff

to meet opposition to q revision of

pledges from candidates for congress.
when the effect is liable TO precip itate
a protracted debate with very uncer-
tain results.
Referring to the suggestion that the
tariff on cattle be abolished Secretary
Shaw very sensibly remarked:
A few days ago the butchers, in
convention assembled, declared in
favor of abolishing the tariff and in
favor of abolishing the tariff on
ctatle but 1 am inclined to think the
good farmers OF my state would vote
quite unanimously against such an ex-
pertinent. Suppose we take the tariff
off beef and then suppose the herds of
cattle from Mexico and South America
are brought in by the hundred thous-
and. They will find their way to the
stock yards and the butchers will be
compelled to bid against the packers
then as now.
No, the removal of the duties on
live beef and stock would not restore
the butchers business. 1t might ruin
the farmers, but the packers could
stand it for nothing less than organ
lied capital could enter the import
meat business with packing houses
in foreign countries, refrigerating
ships and other expensive equipment.
l happen to know that at least one,
and | understand two of the big pack
ing houses, have had men looking into
the South American field for more
than two years.
The farmer, as it is, has ample
reason to be apprehensive.
The secretary emphasized his state.
ments by saying:
l have taken occasion to look this
matter up since reading these resolu.
tions and [ think l can find reason fol

Chicago in the one month of July,
1902. 60, 900 less beeves and ITO, OO(
less hogs than in the same month ONE
year ago. That means 1000 lesl
animals per day. The @ road alone
during the entire month brought from
the southwest where the crop of corr
was failure last year, 1000 less IA
steers per day this year than Last.

going to have trouble, and it viii
take very much more acute form
than it would to say to the farmers O
the United States that their industr,
shall be opened to competition from

trusts, but said it was the parent o
conditions that make it profitable TO
capital to combine and congenisl TO

LIVE STOCK SHOW.
Cattle of the Blue BIooded Variety to
Be On Exhibition,

The Minnesota state fair is the only
one of the state fairs which maintains
each year a national exhibition Of
pure bred cattle. At this year fair,
which opens on Sept. 1st, exhibitions
and sales will be held by the Ameri-
can Short-horn Breeders association
and American Hereford Breeders
association. These great associations
of stock growers, which are the rich
est and most influential organizations
of their kind in the world, make no
other exhibitions at any other state
fairs. They are SO gratifed with the
results of showing at the Minnesota
fair, that they will bring an increased
number of animals this year, while
the auction sales, which are feature
of these shows, will be crowded with
the best from the finest herds in the
country.
The auction sales and judging of
these cattle take place in two great
circus tents which are put up near the
cattle barns on the fair grounds. 1t
is one of the most interesting sights
of the fair to see these magnificent
cattle brought in for sale or for the
Judgment sof experts of international
reputation as to their points and
value.
These great exhibitions by the
I
Hereford and Shorthorn people natur-
ally stimulate all other breeders to
send their best animals to the Min
nesota fair. The enthusiasm has
spread to the dairy cattle growers and
this year the Holstein- Friesian associ-
alton will add large amount to the
state fair premiums for its class and
will make a large and attractive
display. Other dairy breeds will be
splendidly represented.
From this it will be seen that the
state fair of 1902 will be an excellent
place in which to study tie best of
pure bred cattle and to buy animals or
herds for stocking farms in the north
west. It is expected that the attend
ance of breeders and stock men will
be enormous while the general farmers,
who are annually taking more interest
in stock raising, will flock to the fair
in thousands.
The fair is held during the first
week in Sep tember and one-half fare
rates have been made on all railroads.

THE NEGRO QUESTION.

Separate land for the negroes. This
is what Mrs. Josephine D. Heard,
secretary Of the Colored National
Emigration association, advocates.
Mrs. Heard declares that America
is no country for the negro because
the prejudice against the race is too
strong and seems to grow continually.
She advocates the removal of the
negro to Liberia. Cuba and Hayti,
expressing the belief that the colored
people would be better off there than
in this country. Mrs. Heard says
"We do not ask for social equality
here in the United States, but we do
want civil rights, where the colored
boy or girl can rise just as high as the
white child.
1t might be remarked for the lady S
benefit that the negroes in the United
States have done remarkably we'll un-
der all the circumstances that have
surrounded them. They have gotten
together millions of dollars worth of
property and many Of them are en-
gagged in business and the professions.
They have avdanced as rapidly along
educational lines as could be expected
and taking it altogether the colored
race has done pretty well.
No man in this country, white or
black, is held in higher respect than
Booker Washington, and he yields an
influence among men that cannot be
estimated
There can never be social equality
between the whites and the blacks,

Judge Searle has decided an impor-
tant case from Morrison county in
volving the forfeited tax sale of 1901.
Property was bid in for less than the
amount of taxes appearing on the
records as due and unpaid. The owner
of the property attempted to redeem,
but the auditor of Morrison county,
under direction of State. Auditor Dunn,
would not accept the amount received
at the sale, but demanded all taxes
with accured penalties and interest.
This the owner would not pay and
brought suit Judge Searle holds that
in such cases property may be re-
deemed by payment of the amount
actually realized by the county and
state at the sale.

BUILDING UP A SERVICE,

Adopted and put into vogue in 1897
the rural free delivery system has
made remarkable strides, and, in the
words of Superintendent Machen, has
already revolutionized business and
economic conditions in a country COW
ering more than 100. 600 square miles.
1t is indeed wonderful develop
ment. of a system that has proven
more than popular and demonstrates
what can be accomplished by govern
ment whose machinery works in such
harmony. 1t is practical illustration
of what can be done by men when
they are called upon.
In magazine article Mr.. Machen
gives some very interesting figures
concerning the cost of this new sys.
tenn:
THE territory covered by the rural
routes is equal to about 100, 900 square
miles, equaling in area the New
England states, New York and New
Jersey. Eventually they will cover
1000, 600 square miles, or more. The
appropriation for the maintenance Of
the service advanced from $40, 900 in
1897 to $50, 900 in 1898, 500, 900 in
1899, $3.50, 600 in 1900, 81, 700, 90 in
1901. For the fiscal year ending June,
1902, We have an appropriation of
So, 10000. OF this sum, So, 900, 900
will be required to maintain the more
than 5000 routes, the cost of each be-
ing $500. Nearly $500, 900 will be used
in the expense of administration.
For the year 1908 the department
has requested an appropriation of
IS, 900, 600 and there is not the slightest
doubt that it will get it, for members
of conrgess are agreed that no other
single item in our annual expenditure
brings anything like proportionate
return to the people.
Up to the present time the service
has not been self-sustaining but in a
few years it may become a source of
profit to the government.
Carroll county, Maryland, enjoys
the distinction of first successfully
demonstrations the advantages of the
concentrated service-that is, service
covering a whole county-and displac-
ing the old system of fourth class
postofice and star routes Fifty-6ve
rural letter carriers are employed in
the county to deliver mail to between
1000 and =, 900 farm families.
