TIE MOVEMENT TO CANADA.

BY far the most notable circum-
the steady outflow Of American farm
ers to Western Canada. The move
ment is confined to no section of the
United States. It extends into the ex-
IRENE South and into New England.
It's greatest impetus is furnished from
the Middle Western states. It is log
ical outgrowth of the tremendous
movement in Northwestern land which
has been in progress for five years past.
Logical because those seeking cheap
land in the American Northwest have
had forced upon them the conviction
that no such land longer exists.
The fertile land of. the American
Northwest may be relatively much
cheaper than that Of the Middle West,
but the divergence in price is less than
that which exists between the price of
such land in the American Northwest
and in the Canadian Northwest. In ad-
dition to all this, free homesteads are
no longer to be had within the limits
of the United States, while in Canada
numberless thousands of acres of the
best wheat land are still at the dis
posal, free Of charge, Of Industrious
husbandmen seeking to settle upon
them.
These are the considerations which
underlie the great movement toward
Canada. These are the considerations,
no doubt, which influenced the re-
nnarkable transaction told Of in these
columns a week or two ago, wherein
the Order of ST. Benedict, to which is
due almost exclusively the population
and wealth Of Stearns county, decided
upon the establishment of a branch
institution in the Saskatchewan valley,
laying the foundations of such an in
stitution, apparently, as broad, and
deep and secure as it did in Stearns
county so many years ago.
But the conditions attending the set
tlement Of government land in Canada
ana the IOunQdLlOn Oh the new 1TSCl-
tuition of the Benedictines, are infinite
ly more favorable today than they
were in the United States anywhere
from twenty-five to fifty years ago. The
American pioneer was then in advance
of the railroad, and he staked out his
own claim and built his own home,
and made his own future in the will
derness, far from association with his
fellow men and without either encour-
agement or assistance from the Ameri-
can government, either national or
state. It is not so today In Canada.
Free homesteads of the best land are
to be had within an hour or two's ride
of the railroad, In Assiniboia and Sas-
katchewan, in Alberta and Manitoba.
It would require a prophetic vision
to anticipate the consequences which
are to flow to the two countries in the
immediate future from this tremen-
dous movement. It is certain, how

SPRING SURPRISE ON RosINe.
Heron Lake Turns Out En- Masse to
Welcome Democratic Leader.

Local committees are expected to
handle arrangements for political meet
ings, but the Democrats and citizens of
Heron Lake Saturday sprung sur
prise on Leonard A. Rosing and held
an impromptu demonstration which
will long be remembered as red let
ter day in the history Of that hustling
community.
Mr.. Rosing spoke at Luverne Friday
night and was on his way to Slayton,
where he addressed a big meeting
Saturday night. So far as Mr.. Rosing
or the state central committee knew
the citizens of Heron Lake were ignor-
ant Of the fact that the next governor
was to pass through their town. The
Heron Lakers were by no means in ig-
norance Of Mr.. Rosing's route, and,
moreover, they learned that he would
be compelled to wait forty minutes in
their town for railroad connections.
When Mr.. Rosing's train pulled into
Heron Lake he was startled by the
strains of martial music rendered by
brass band, and committee boarded
the train to acquaint him with the fact
that the band and the citizens OF Heron
Lake were there to express their good
will and listen to a speech. The
speech was made from the depot plat
form, and it is safe to say that Mr..
Rosing never more thoroughly appre-
ciated a surprise.

under the head Of three trips, each
receiving week and each including a
programme of speeches in from eight
to dozen cities besides the wayside
speeches which will be made from
railway coach platforms or depot
porches between trains, etc, as is usual
with a gubernatorial candidate en- tour.
The state central committee yester-
day gave out Mr.. Rosing's itinerary
The tour proper does not commence
until next week. This week, with the
exception of one day, will be spent in
st. Paul and Minneapolis. Tomorrow
Mr.. Rosing will speak at the Red Wing
street fair and return for the series of
five meetings in st. Paul, which will
commence Thursday night and at
which Mr.. Rosing will appear with his
former chief, the peerless standard
bearer of MinneSota's Democracy, for
mer Gov. John Lind. The st. Paul
meetings close Friday night and Sat
urday Mr.. Rosing will start on his tour
of the state. Saturday night he will
probably appear at WatertoWn and
then give Monday and Tuesday to a
flying trip across the iron range before
entering on the southern tour, which is
given first place in his itinerary.
The southern tour opens at Winona
Wednesday, Oct. 8. With the exception
get only half day apiece. Thursday
is divided between Rochester and ST.
Charles. Friday, Oct. 10, Mr.. Rosing
will speak at Owatonna in the after
noon and at Blooming Prairie in the
evening and close the week at Man
kato Saturday afternoon and Waseca
in the evening.
The western tour opens Monday, Oct.
Is, at Sacred Heart in the afternoon

divided between Wheaton and Grace
vile; Wednesday between Morris and
Hermann and on Thursday Benson will
be the scene of a big meeting and an
all-day visit from the next governor.
Friday Mr.. Rosing will break into the
Sixth district and devote the day to
Litchfield. Saturday will be spent at
ST. Cloud and Sank Rapids.
The northern tour will be inaugural
ed at Minneapolis and end at Crooks
ton. The Minneapolis meeting, Mon
day, Oct. 20, will be held under the
auspices of the Fifth district Democ-
racy and will be a joint demonstration
for Mr.. Rosing and former Gov. Lind.
The local committee already has it's
plans well under way and the meeting
is expected to be a record breaker.
Tuesday, Oct. 81, Mr.. Rosing will
speak at Brainerd and Aitkin and the
following Qdy at Two 1drDOfS. InuFS-
day is Duluth day. Bemidji and Cass
Lake are scheduled for Friday, and
Saturday, Oct. rs, the tour will close
at Crookston with an immense mass
meeting, where Mr.. Rosing will be
Joined by Gov. Lind.
Sunday Mr.. Rosing will be back in
st. Paul ready for the last charge of
the battle which will be made in the
Twin Cities and which will not cease
until the eve of election. The details
for the last week have not been COM
pleted and will probably be left almost
entirely to the Ramsey and Hennepin
county committees so far as meetings
are concerned.

NO RIGHT OF PRIVACY.

The protests of representative mem
bers of society who object to being
made the objects of public considera-
ton through the press continue to be
heard from time to time. The first ex-
preston of individual unwillingness to
assume a quasi-public character was
presented through the young lady who
brought suit to prevent an enterprising
commercial house from using her pic
ture to advertise its wares. The tenn
porary success which attended her I'M
dertaxing is responsible for the vast
growth of the legal industry repre-
scented by attempts to collect damages
in making such protests effective. The
highest court in the state Of New York
has recently apparently overturned its
own dictum in this regard, by decree

conducted by corporations or individ-
uals, being one Of those rights.
revolution there has been in our
accepted understanding Of the limita-
tons upon the power of the general
government which were written into
the federal constitution. That revolu-
ton has been wrought with the aid of
the United States supreme court, or,
rather, through the instrumentality of
the casting vote of Justice Brown of
that tribunal in the admission Of our
right to govern other races on some
other charter of national authority
than that represented by our consti-
tutions, either state or national. But
no warrant which the supreme court
can give will ever justify the exercise
of the power over the trusts which the
president now seeks for congress. At
least at the present stage Of the politi-
cal education of this people, it is ex-
tremely unlikely that thirty-four of
the existing forty-five states in this
Union will ever consent to concur in
the revolution in our constitutional
system which Mr.. Roosevelt suggests,
and which in principle is,in the nature
Of the Chinese method Of producing
roast pork-that of burning down the

The lesson to the country of this
extraordinary suggestion Of the presi-
dent lies in the demonstration that it
offers of how utterly lost to the sacred
ness of constitutional rights and ex-
emptions is the average enlightened
Republican statesman of our day.

RoSING AND LIND FIRE FIRST
GUNS OF CAMPAIGN IN
ST. PAUL
COMMITTEE PLANS AN
AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN
Party's Standard Bearer and Former
Governor viii Address Fourth and
Fifth Ward Meetings Thursday Night
and Appear in First and Eighth FRI
day-Candidate Are Pleased.

The opening guns Of the Democratic
campaign in Ramsey county will be
fired by Leonard A. Rosing and John
Lind Thursday and Friday nights at
four ward meetings. The First, Fourth,
Fifth and Eighth wards will furnish
the first skirmishing ground.
The opening of the campaign was
the central thought at the meeting of
the executive committee and DEM
ocratic candidates last night at the
city and county headquarters, .Arrol
building. The county and state tickets
will work together and the opening of
the campaign is only an indication of
what the whole battle, from the DEM
ocratic side, will be.
Mr.. Rosing and former Gov. Lind
will open the campaign Thursday night
in the Fourth and Fifth wards. The
halls for the opening meetings were
not decided upon last night but will
be announced today. There was some
doubt about the appearance Of Gov.
Lind, but the state committee yester-
day announced that he could be relied
upon for both nights and he and Mr..
Rosing will alternate.
FIRST Meetln9 IN FlrSts
Friday night they will speak in the
First and Eighth wards. The ward
committees have been extremely anx-
ious to secure both Mr.. Rosing and
Mr.. Lind to open their respective cam
paigns and their arrangements are
practically complete. The First ward
meeting will be held under big tent
which the ward organization has Sc
cured and which will be pitched on
Payne avenue. The Eighth ward meet
ing will be held at Jarosz's hall.
Last nights meeting was one Of the
most enthusiastic ever held by the
Ramsey county Democratic committee
and the party's candidates. There were
f1fty-two candidates and committeeman
present and much of the detail Of the
campaign was disposed of. Headquar-
tiers will be opened in all the wards
and placed in charge of competent
men. The experiment of permanent
headquarters last spring proved a sue
cess and aided by the experience gained
then they will be more effective this
Leaders Are Optimistic.
Both committeeman and candidates
are optimistic in the extreme. They
have felt the public pulse and are sat
isfied that a stirring campaign will
bring a sweeping victory to the Demo-
cratic banner. The watchword Of the
organization and candidates is work to-
gether for the common good and Ram
sey county will experience a campaign
which for vigor and attention to detail
has never been eXcelled.
The candidates are delighted with the
large registration, indicating the peo-
pies interest in the battle Of the bal
lots and they believe the manifesto
ton of that interest at the primaries
can only mean an increased interest
at the polls. The organization Is in
perfect harmony with all the candi-
dates and will get down to hard work
at once. The major portion Of the miss
ing detail will be supplied at meet
ing Of the executive committee to be
held tomorrow night.

SETTING ASIDE THE coNSTITU-
TON

Perhaps the most extraordinary de-
velopment thus far in the congressional
campaign has been the proposal of
President Roosevelt to bring the trusts
under control through the agency of a
constitutional amendment. The coun-
try might not be expected to take the
suggestion seriously were 1t not that
the majority of the present house rep
resenting the presidents party and his
administration had already secured the
passage through that body of resolu-
ton looking to the adoption of such an
amendment.
The suggestion has it's significance
chiefly as showing the lightness with
which the average Republican politi-
clan regards the constitution. 1t is an
instrument, according to him, which
might the tariff schedules, according
to his understanding of the require
ments of any existing political situa-
ton. 1t does not matter to the average
Republican politician what end is to be
accomplished. If 1t is not apparently
consonant with the institutions of the
country his philosophy tells him that
the institutions of the country must be
changed so as to render it consonant
President Roosevelt is not identified
IN the public mind by any reputation
for profound constitutional knowledge.
The limitations of his training in this
regard are, Of course, generally recog-
nized, but until he came forward and
presented his remedy for the trusts it
would have appeared incredible that
he could assume the responsibility for
any such proposal. Yet in his Gin
cinnati speech Mr.. Roosevelt ap-
preached his subject with mind di-
vested, apparently, of all thought that
his constitutional amendment proposal
was extraordinary in itself. He intro
duces the proposal in the following
manner:
''It might be better If all the states could
agree to work along the same lines in
dealing with corporations, but I see not
the slightest prospect of such agreement.
Therefore, personally feel that ultimately
the nation will have to assume the re-
sponsibility Of regulating these very large
corporations which do interstate COM
MERGE The states must combine to meet
the problem caused by the great combina-
tions Of capital; and the easiest way for
the states to combine is by action through
the national government"
Now, of course, there is one answer
to all Mr.. Roosevelt's assurances and
arguments, and that is that the states
of this union, being in the conduct of
their own domestic concerns practical

ARRESTED FOR
GRAVE ROBBERY
Seven Negroes and Demonstration of
Anatomy in an indianapolis
College in Trouble.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 90
Seven negroes were arrested today on
warrants charging them with robbing
graves in the cemeteries about Indian
apolis. Warrants were also issued
today for a prominent physician, the
demonstration of anatomy in the Gen.
trail College of Physicians and Sur
geons, in which two stolen bodies were
found about ten days ago; an inferno in
the college and the white janitor Of tha
college.
Rufus Cantrell, one Of the negroes,
made a confession and implicated the
others. He said the demonstration Of
anatomy accompanied the negroes on
several of the grave robbing expedi-
tons.
The police say that the operations
of the gang were on large scale. Up
ward of 10 graves, it is said, have been
robbed by the ghouls during the last
three months. The detectives say the
bodies were sold to different colleges
which opened their winter terms with
in the last week. The revelations made,
the detectives say, are not only as
founding but horrifying.

FORGOT TO GET LEGAL ADVICE.
Ross Clarke Admits Expenses in Vio-
Iation of Corrupt Practice Act,


lation Of Corrupt Practice Act.
The criminal penalty clause of that
section of the corrupt practices act
which relates to the expenditures of
candidates for office was conveniently
omitted, or Ross Clarke, late Republic
an candidate for nomination for clerk
of courts, might be hailed before the
courts for punishment.
Mr. Clarke certifies to violation Of
the law. He cannot be punished be-
cause of the absence of a penalty
clause from section 6 of the corrupt
practices act passed by the legislature
Of 1895. However, had he been sue
cessful at the primary election, his
defeated opponents could have had his
nomination set aside by the courts.
and, had it been allowed to rest until
after the election and Clarke had won
out at the polls, the election under the
law would have been Illegal and the
courts would have no alternative in
declaring the Office vacant upon appli-
cation Of the person receiving the
next highest number of votes, made to
the attorney general.
In his certified return of expenses
to the county auditor Mr.. Clarke adj
mits spending $685. in his unsuccessful
hunt for chance to run for office. The
filing fee Of $40 is omitted from the
certificate, which swells the total to
$605. OF this sum 1920 is described
as spent for newspaper advertising,
which, from the amount of space used,
indicates that Mr.. Clarke got cut rates.
In any event, candidates are not eX-
pected to remember all the money
dropped in the chase for political glory,
but Mr.. Clarke should have consulted
a lawyer before he filed his certifi-
cate of expenses.
Under the schedule of permissible
expenses fixed by the corrupt practices
act, Mr.. Clarke could legally spend
$3.50, or just SIS less than he admits
spending. The law provides that a can
didate for office may have legal ex-
penses on the basis of $3.50 for 5000
voters, and for each 100 voters over
5000 and under $4,000 he may expend
an additional 81. The law expressly
provides that the number of voters is
ito be ascertained by the total num-
Der Of votes cast for all the candidates
for such Office at the last preceding
election held to fill the same"
The whole number Of votes cast for
the candidates for clerk of courts two
years ago was 21,516, which would
make the limit Of expenditure $3.50.
However, Mr.. Clark strenuously insists
that he has not violated the law. He
has construction of his own for the
law quoted above. He says it does
not mean what is written on the stat
utes, but that the intended basis Of
computation is the highest number Of
votes cast for any Office in the county
or district On that basis, he says, he
thinks he had a right to spend $3.50,
because there ought to be 10000 votes
in Ramsey county, and naively adds:
"And there were lots of fellows who
spent more than I did, though they
won't admit It."
