Paul. Pry, till heris suspected4of Grimm
allty, then his arrest and seizure must be
by specific warrant and conducted before
the courts. Now what becomes of the
statistics bill in the face of this? y 1t is
evidently unconstitutional and should
never have been introduced. 1t tells Paul
Pry to mind his own business and the
scathing portion of my letter, which T h e
u r n a did not publish is none too
strong. Having shown the rights of the
citizen in these inquisitoriat matters, it is
also right in this CRITICISM to show the
rights of the public in inquisitorial mat
ters. When the nation or a state, thru
a charter confers certain privileges OH
person or corporation, that person or cor.
pOratiOn valves some of his private
rights invested in the corporation In con-
sideration of privileges conferred, for thru
the charter the state places the business
of the incorporation in fiduciary rela-
tion to the public and Of right reserves
the power of inspection of its affairs for
the safety of the public which may in.
vest funds in such corporation. Not to
do so would be a manifest injustice to
the public. Hence the right and power
of public examiners to the books and bus
mess of all corporations. Thru their
charters corporations become semi pub
lie concerns, they advertise their business
and invite the investment Of capital for
the extension of I their business, always
mentioning their Incorporation as part of
their business capital and if the public
examiner does his duty, the public is rea-
sonably safe In It's investments, but the
private property Of stockholders is free
from the public examiner unless it is held
as collateral to the property of the cor
poration. The mistake of The Jou r.

in mixing up public and private rights
and this also is the trouble with our legis-
lators, or they never would bring in such
bills as the agricultural statistical bill and
the dog bill, which, If enacted into law,
would be Of no more value than the paper
they were printed on. for they never can
be enforced, for under Article ~. of the
United States bill OF rights citizens t:f
the state will still carry on their private
business without accounting to the public
or spectators, nor will the well Informed
citizen pay a dog license and the official
that would undertake to kill dog on its

. The recent visit and speech of Tillman
give risei to som es curious reflections as
to the motives of those who pay to hear
him and who presumably read the numer-
GUS Interviews with which he favors the
press. To any one who knows the innate
decency and fair -nindedness Of the aver
age American, it is unthinkable that any
large proportion of the attention: given
to that brutal ruffian arises from SYM
pathy with him or even interest in his
so-called Views Probably not one in
ten Of those who hear him or read what
he has to say does so from any other mo-
tive than curiosity, and that love of the
incongruous which is said to be a national
trait. We patronize all freaks literally,
and we pay to hear TiIlman on the negro
problem just as we would pay to hear
Dick Croker on civil service reform, or

from disease or accident, come to him and

the age of miracles has not passed, SO far

To the Editor Of The Journal. Ttss$z &
In your issue of April 3 you quote from
and review letter from the writer to
The Journal on the bill to collect
AGRICULTURAL statistics, introduced by
Representative Sheppard of the forty
third Minneapolis district. While Z h g
J Q urn al publishes some Of the ablest
editorials published by any daily known to
the writer, (and we are acquainted with
many Of them) fear that Z h e. j u r.
nal, like our legislators, is rather at
sea when it comes to the powers and
duties OF state legislatures: and Is apt to
get private and public rights somewhat
mixed. No Legislature can pass a law that
will hold good, (even If the power exists
in its own constitution If it conflicts with
the constitution Of the United iStates.

tuition says: 1.-THE right Of the people to

I find in Fridays issue, under head of
Men and Measures % the following;
Grand Army men in the legislature are
stirred up again over the proposition. to
return the Confederate flags captured by
Minnesota regiments, now in the capitol
rOtunda. s-4r < : = >---@s =.
It strikes me that the Grand Army men
at least a large majority of them;-and
also the patriotic, loyal and forgiving
members Of the legislature will favor the
movement when they understand 1t.
There are only two Confederate flags In
the glass case at. the capitol. and they
were captured by the Fourth Minnesota
at Alatoona, Ga, Oct. 5, 1864, in one of
the most important and strenuous battles
of the war, for it was continuous fight
of charges 0f the enemy from 8 o'clock
q. m. to p. M, by 5000 troops of Hood 8
army against less than 1000 under COM
mand of General Corse and Colonel John
E. Tourtelotte of the Fourth Minnesota.
These two flags and eighty five. officers
and men had charged into a ravine with
in 100 feet of our line Of breastworks, and
when their comrades retired from the field
| they choose capture in preferenceIto try
ing to escape under a concentrated fre.
We found them a brave and jolly crowd,
worthy of our best treatment, and we
treated" them to the best that We had
in store.
About a year ago movement was start
ed by some of the members of the Fourth
Minnesota to return these flags to the
Thirty-fifth and Thirty ninth Mississippi
on the request of some Of the. surviving
members Of the regiments .,
The matter was taken up at the an
nual reunion of the Fourth Minnesota last
September and voted down. 24 to %; but
| it is hoped by the friends Of the move
ment that the next meeting will say yes
by a large majority.
The matter to come before the legisla-
ture will probably be in the form of a
resolution authorizing the governor to re
turn the flags to the governor OF Mlssis-
sippi whenever the Fourth Minnesota votes
| in favor Of it and the president sanctions
IT. and 1t strikes mo that, it Is an easy
guess what President Roosevelt will say
NV interest in the matter is to place Mir
nesota at the front for peace" by return
ing the flags, as Governor Ramsey was
to the front for war by sending the
first troops to the. president.
! If the members Of the Fourth Mime:
I sofa can forgive and shake hands witt

members of the legislature should give US
a chance to do so.

A careful housewife will let the water

lower portion of every boiler which can
be used for this purpose. The discolored

which the water TO supply the ca
nal will be derived, has been east
for some time making arrange
ments to finance the scheme. and
it is understood that he is meeting
with much encouragement. Alter
the reservoir is built it will be
necessary to form an irrigation dis
trict under the state law and vote
bonds to pay for The cost OF canal
construction. 1t will also be nee
essary to secure enough contracts
for water rights from land owners
to make the investment a safe one
for the investors who are expected
to buy the bonds. 1t will there
fore be necessary for the people
who feel lnterested-and that in
cludes everyone in Lamar-to first
file desert land claims in the dis
trict instead OF tying up with
homesteads, as some manifest an
inclination to do. The homesteads
may be taken afterward.
While the project to recla i'm 75,
900 acres OF arid land south OF La.
mar at this late day is tGrmid-
able one, there is no doubt that it
is feasible. The reservoir site
owned by Mr., Henry has drain
age area of 2.+N0 square miles and
is pronounced by engineers one Of
the finest sites in the whole state.
Its capacity is practically unlimit-
ed, but enough water can be stored
