"Are You Mason?" which comes to
the Academy of Music tonight, has GER
tainly established an excellent record as
a laugh-maker. 1t was transplanted
from Germany to America and from
America to England, and it has made
good in all three countries as side
splitting, mirth-provoker of the very first
class. All the sport follows the lies of
two deceiving husbands, impersonated
by John G. Rice and Thomas A. Wise,
who pretend, in order to cover up some
poker and other evenings, that they are
Masons, and that their evenings out are
spent at lodge meetings. 1t is not at all
necessary to be Mason in order to en-
joy the fun of the piece, an dthere is
not a man, woman or child who would
not have jolly time laughing at its
hilarious nonsense.

PRESIDENT STICKNEY of the Chicago
Great Western road referred to, the
members of the Chicago Live Stock
exchange as barnacles and called his
competitors oriental savages at hear
ing in Chicago last week which was in
quiring into live stock and packing
house product rates from Missouri river
points to Chicago. The C. G. W. road
has been making it's competitors get a
hump on themselves recently and the
Chicago crowd at the Union stock yards
in that city have very little love for
Mr.. Stickney. Only two years ago one
of the officials of the Union stock wards
remarked that the grass would be
growing between the G.. G. W. rails in
a short time, but it seems that the
grass has not been growing as luxu-
riantly as the Chicago crowd desired
and there is consequently some bad
feelings over the matter. ..-..

. CONGRESS will have to fish or cut
bait with the trust legislation that is
now before that body. President Roose-
welt is in dead earnest in the matter OF
having some very stringent and effec-
tive legislation to give the federal GOV.
eminent control of trusts, and the Lit
tlefeld bill embodies all the recon-
mendations of Attorney General Knox
and expresses the views of the presi-
dent. The bill grants additional pow
ers and imposes additional duties ON
the interstate commerce commission.
The gist of the Littlefeld bill is pub
licity and any corporation that fails to
file a statement of it's affairs, etc., can
be excluded from interstate commerce
as it should be. The senate it is said
is making arrangements to smother
the bill and to make a grand stand play
with onezof those ambiguous and nigh
sounding bills that sometimes Raxe
hypnotic effects on the public. FThe
senate will have hard work shaking
the president in his determination to
have trusts properly looked after. ~

UGH g has been done by the State
aid private individuals in the con-
struction Of drainage bitches in north
ern Minnesota. Thousands of acres
have been reclaimed and yet the work
is still in its infancy. Elsewhere in
this issue is given the history Of Judi
cial ditch No. l in Polk county which
is to be constructed under the opera
tions of the Grindeland law. This
ditch will be the largest ever con-
structed in the State and will prove Of
great value to the farmers whose land
will be drained. Drainage bitches
will in time redeem all the low lands
and swamps of northern Minnesota,
and it will REQUIRE several millions of
dollars to construct the system of
bitches which will be worth to the
country many times their cost.

that will promote the best interests of

increase in the tax levy for State pur-
poses. Mr.. Babcock is not snowy
demagogue. He is plain, practical
man endowed with good stock of
common sense and is not lacking in
nerve. When necessary he can say no,
and in such a manner that there can
be no misunderstanding his meaning.i

HE house committee on roads and
bridges has amended the county road
and bridge fund bill that. was endorsed
by the Princeton board of trade and
sent to Representative Mark for intro
duction. The bill provided that every
incorporated village which constitutes
separate road district, should receive
all the money the taxable property of
any village yielded from the county tax
for roads and bridges. The house
committee has amended the bill so that
it applies to all cities and boroughs in
the State which can claim such portion
OF the road and bridge fund of any
county as the taxable property in any
city, village or borough bears to the
total amount Of the taxable property
in the whole county. The bill will ex-
cite considerable discussion when it
gets before the legislature.

The American people still stick to
the old habit of chewing gum and it is
said that last year $40, 600, 900 worth of
gum was consumed in this country.
Cleveland is the greatest gum-chewing
city in the United States with Chi
cago and St. Louis in close pursuit for
the belt. The gum trust sold Sc, 500,
600 worth of gum during the past year,
Chicago being the principal distribut-
ing point. Retail dealers realize very
little profit on the product as most of
the profit goes into the Golfers of the
trust. The principal Ingredient Of the
gum the trust puts on the market is
what is known as chicle, the gum from
the juice of the zapote, a tropical tree
found in Mexico and Central America.
This gum was discovered by Brook
Ign photographer who tried to develop
it as substitute for rubber. The
down east spruce gum still is in much
favor. It made its appearance on the
market in Portland in 1885, and the
man who first placed it on the market
grew rich and retired and his sons and
sons-in-law still continue in the bust
ness.

IT is a battle royal that is being

Mexico along with Oklahoma and In
dian Territory, and Quay who has
championed the omnibus bill has set
out to block all, consideration of i'm
portant measures until the senate dis
poses of the statehood bill. A test of
strength the other day showed that
the Pennsylvania senator held the
trump card, but there is great opposi-
tion to the passage of the bill and
Senator Nelson and several other
senators are getting ready to talk. the
bill to death. There are certain COM
mercial interests in New Mexico. and
Arizona that Quay is not far removed
from in many ways and these interests
want statehood in order to break loose
from federal control and fly their own
kite. On the other hand there are
many who think that statehood has
done much in times past for new and
raw territories and think Arizona and
New Mexico should be let in at this
time

For Good Roads.

State Senator Stephens of Crookston
says the farmers want better roads and
are willing to pay for them, and he has,
therefore introduced into the legisla-
ture bill to encourage rural free de-
livery. Realizing that rural routes are
slow to be established, if at all, where
roads are bad, Senator Stephens would
authorize town supervisors, where it is
known that a rural delivery route is
contemplated, to put roads in good con-
dition for travel by reducing grades,
building bridges and culverts and de-
stroying weeds.
The bill is in itself proof of the wis
dom of the policy of the government in
using the rural free delivery service as
a means>of stimulating road building.
If Mr.. Stephens did not actually know
that proposed routes in Minnesota had
been abandoned because the roads were
so bad, he would probably have never
been stirred up to introduce such a bill
The prospect Of free delivery is a great
premium on good roads.
While the Legislature is getting in
terested in this subject we hope it will
be wise enough to create State high
way commission and turn over to it the
State road and bridge funds, so that
they may be so spent that we shall
have really improved roads to show for
them, instead Of some rough hummocks
of mingled sod, grass and mud, eu-
phemistically termed turnpikes. If
the State can afford to spend money on
roads, it can afford to spend it well. In
fact it can't afford to do anything else
