It is noticeable that the Minneapolis
Journal occupies "a leading place among
the daily papers Of Minnesota and the
northwest The, popularity of The Jour-
nal lis deserved It does not empha-
size. the sensational and the scandalous
element of news, being one Of the best
balanced newspapers in the country. De-
tcidedly 1t Is not a Charles M. Sheldon
paper on the Hines what would Sheldon
do, but It .devotes an unusually large
amount of space to clean. elevating and
educational reading matter. Let us have
more papers like The journal.

MINNESOTA POLITICS

while you are talking about material
for governor" said well-known Mime
apolis politician to-day, whats the mat
ter with w. c. Masterson of Saltwater?
! don't think you could find a better man
for governor in the state of Minnesota.
He made a fine record in his four years
service as state senator and has had pien-
ty Of experience in public affairs. OF
course he is on the present state commit
tee and in close touch with the Van SAINT
administration, but that is not to his dis
credit, and the governors friends ought
to support him with a good will, for he
has always been loyal You always know
where he stands
Senator Masterman is a modest man
and not given to pushing himself for pub
lie favor, but his sterling qualities are
well known by a great many who will in
dorse the sentiments quoted.
Congressman STEVENSON is given a great
deal Of credit for his energetic action in
first to urge the land department to modify
its order requiring all of the timber to be
cut off by July 1, 1905. Senator Clapp
has also taken a very active part in the
campaign for modificat ton of the order,
which the lunbermen say will be carried
up to President Roosevelt himself If nee
essary. ... ~.
Sam Langum says in the Preston Times
that j. T. Wyman would be all right for
governor. but for the fact that such a
nomination would deprive the state Of
the services of Ray w. Jones as lieuten
ant governor. This is a different sort of
| treatment from that accorded the lieuten-
ant governor by the Times one short
year ago:
! There has been some criticism of the
governors appointment of the grain board
Of appeals, on the ground that the new
board is not bipartisan, as the law re-
quires. This is mistake. There are
| two republicans-Messr Greenleaf and
Aaby-on the Minnea polls board, and one
democrat-Martin Lally of Crookston. On
the Duluth board, F. H Pugh and A. j.
Strang are republicans and James K.
Stone of Montevideo is a democrat.
The Glenwood Gopher wants to KNOW
.Is Hennepin county going to support
Ray w. Jones for governor? If that's
the quiet game down there, we don't want
to give it away; but certain circumstances
and certain remarks that have hap
pened" lately lead JUS to ask the ques-
ton. Maybe Jones is the latest victim
of Heatwole's acknowledgements"
Il The remarks of one Ray w. Jones him
self indicate that there is nothing in the
; "quiet game" suspected by Editor Wollan.
There is revival of the talk of G. A.
Smith for governor, but no one has heard
Mr.. Smith say a word.

BJornson Coming to America.

Thoralv Klavenaes, the Norwegian jour

urged Bjornstjerne Bjornson to undertake
another tour to America and that Mr.
Bjornson has given a half promise to
come, as he is greatly interested in the
states. Should he make the trip he viii
be accompanied by his wife.

LapIand ore Rates cut.

The Swedish state railway administra-
ton has consented to reduce by one-half
the freights on Lapland ores in order that
extensive trials of the product may be
made. 1t Is believed that the tests will
prove successful and that a great iron
industry will spring up in the country,
giving employment to thousands Of PEG
pie.
Contracts for the shipment of Lapland
ores to foreign works will expire in ten
years and will not be renewed It is
expected that by that time the Spanish
mines that at present are the chief feed
ers OF the English iron industry will be
exhausted. Thereafter Great Britain
would be mainly dependent on ore from
America, Canada and Sweden.

Cumulative Voting.

Toronto Is to have cumulative voting in
the future for four members of the board
Of control and twelve members Of the
board of education, the full membership
of each board being five and fourteen,
respectively. In voting for members Of
the board Of control, under this plan, a
voter may If he wish, cast four votes for
one person; or he may divide his four votes
In any way he please. In voting for the
twelve members of.the board Of education,
he may combine three of his votes on one
person. The result Of this system will be
that it one-fourth. of the voters give all
their votes to one man they will be able
to elect him to the board of control; or if
one third Of the electors unite on four
candidates for membership in the board
Of election they can elect their men.
This method. Of voting. insures proper
tional election. It gives the minority party
some show. Under the system Of a single
vote to each candidate for board member
ship, minority parties having but little
less than half the votes are often without
any representation on the board. This
fact is, Illustrated in, Minneapolis at pres
lent. Tho fully a third and perhaps 4o:per
cent Of the voters-of this city are demo
Gratis, they are without representation on
any Of the elective boards. :
A good feature Of cumulative voting is
that it does not discourage membership in
the minority party. At present there is
a great temptation for the ambitious
young man entering politics to choose his
party with regard TO numerical strength
rather than principle. He knows that ir
communities where one party has long
been dominant and is likely long to remain
so there is little chance for him to wir
public honors If he affiliate with the min.
GRITTY party. But under a. system of Gu,
mulative voting or minority representation
in. office, he would know that while hi
Ecould not hope for: leadership In public
affairs so long as his party was in the
minority, he could count upon some hon
orable reward for his public activities.
| So long as we maintain party govern
E1nent, every good citizen must desire tina
the 1contending parties be we'll matched
and. that the minority shall not lack To-
leadership or incentives for. organization
Cumulative voting would give the minor
ity something to show for it's, pains, thu
there are not many offices to which it cal
be applied. BY eliminating ward line
as the boundaries: of aldermanic district
it could: be applied to city councils. Il
addition it could be applied in Minneap
oils to the county commissioners, tn
! park, library and education boards. L
state affairs it could be applied to judge
Of the supreme court, the railway an
warehouse commission, and, if the con
gressn1en were to be elected at large i
each state, it could be applied to then
also. In the share of these various Of
fees that would certainly fall to an activ
minority, there would be ample rewar
for the leaders,.

ABOUT THE BANANA.
Few Folks Know How to Peel One Prop
erIy-How 1t Grows.

rev FOtkS NHOW now 10 reel Une Prop.
erIy-How 1t Grows.
OF course, everybody knows that the
banana is tropical fruit. But few
know how it grows.
In starting a new plantation the
lands are first cleared in the dry season
of their dense growth and the vegeta.
ton is heaped into piles and burned
In May, when the rainy season begins,
the planting is done.
The stalk or sucker of q banana
plant, instead of having a main tap
root and its branches. grows bulb
several inches in diameter having four
to seven eyes. In setting out the new
plants sections of these bulbs. each
containing one eye, are planted in the
ground about foot deep and from fif-
teen to twenty feet apart. The plants
grow very rapidly and in about eleven
months each stalk bears it bunch OF
the fruit. Usually only one bunch
grows on a stalk, and when the ban.
anas are harvested it is done by cut
ting down the stalk.
1t is strange thing about the stalk
that when it is first cut down a mule
would have hard work to move it, but
in few days man can lift and easily
walk away with one. This is due to
the fact that the stalk is nearly all wa
ter, which rapidly dries out in the
tropical climate, leaving only the fibre
of the stalk Other shoots keep COM
ing from the bulb at its root, and 9TH
er bulbs keep growing on the shoots;
then the stalks have to be kept thinned
out. or they will grow so thickly that
they will choke one another.
There is no such thing as special
harvest time for bananas. They are
gathered throughout the year. The
plants last from fifteen to forty five
years without replantipg.
The true banana is the red one, which
comes principally from Medi terranean
ports; the yellow ones with which we
are so femiliar are varieties of the
plantain.
Any ply stefan will tell you the value
sOf the lnana as a food. 1t is one of
the most nutritious and be tlthful of all
fruits; some persons assert that it has
even more nourishment III IN an cqnal
amount of meat of wheat.
A great many people cannot eat the
banana without suffering from after
effects of ''feartburn.' Simple as it
may seem, this is not the fault of the
fruit itself, but Of the people who eat
it. They do not know how to remove
the skin properly.
Never begin to peel n banana from
the end. Hold the fruit in both hands
with one end pointing away from you;
have the hands in such position that
the fingers are underneath, the thumbs
being On top and in about the centre
of the banana; then force the skin
apart with the thumbs. That is re-
moving the skin from banana prop
erly.
A delicate membrane lies between
the skin and the fruit itself; this is the
indigestible part of the banana. When
peeled properly this membrane is re
moved with the skin; but when the
fruit is peeled by stripping the fruit
down from the end it remains on the
banana, causing indigestion.
The banana is also used in other ways
than for eating raw. You can have
good cup of substitute for coffee made
solely from it. A flour is also made |
from the fruit and used in various
ways.
