Well, says Farmer Ben in the
Mower County Transcript, i'll
give the legislator credit for
one good thing and that is the
passage by the house Thurs
day of the Stone railroad rate
bill which provides that COM
mon carriers may not raise
rates or classification without
consent of the railroad and
warehouse commission. The
bill went through whoopin', 80
to 25, even if one of the Mower
county representatives did vote
agin it. The people are onto
this business pretty square and
anybody that don't line up for
the people but jumps in on the
side of the corporations and
agin the people is named Den
mis- no matter what personal
emoluments may seem to come
out of it. Now the Stone rate
bill has passed the house, were
goin' to watch close to see
what the senate is goin' to do
with it. There is a rumor
comes by grapevine telephone
that the railroads amt nothin'
to fear in the senate this trip
with lot of corporation liars
and agents composin' it so
largely and that even some of
the railroad folks in the house
vote anti railroad KNOWN that
the senate will hold up all hos
tile legislatin' any how and the
corporations won't be hurt and
the people will be blinded by
their votin rite in letter when
their spirit is with the COM
bines and corporations. Anti
we come to a pretty pass when
the people can't get brave de-
tenders to stick by their rites
in the halls of legislation?

Representative McCleary has
introduced a bill in Congress
to place those who participant
ed in the struggle with the In
dians at the time of the Indian
massacre during the civil war
under the operation of the pen
sion laws. There where sew
eral troops of volunteers raised
during those bloody days to
assist the small body of SOL
diers that the government
could spare in defending the
frontier settlements of this re-
gion against the Sioux warri-
ors. These men not being re-
gularly enlisted have not been
able to secure pensions. They
underwent as great hardships
and as truly fought in defense
of the country as did the re-
gularly enlisted troops and are
deserving of this recognition
from the government. Rem

FEARS ARE UNFouNDED.
Premier RaIfour and EngIand's Food
Supply in Case of War,


London, March 6.-Replying to a
large and influential depuuation which
visited the foreign Office to urge the
appointment of a royal commission to
inquire into the question OF the secur-
ity of the food supply of Great Brit
ain in time of war Premier Balfour
expressed the opinion that the danger
Great Britain had to meet was not
the exclusion of grain and raw mate
rials necessary for the country's ma
tional existence, but the cost Of in.
PRODUCING them.
The country could get all it wanted
if it were prepared to pay the price,
and the question of price was ulti-
mately question of insurance. Suf1-
cient stress was not laid upon the part
neutrals would play in the event of a
war. There would be more than suff1-
cient neutral shipping to supply Great
Britain with grain, but not with raw
materials AS to the danger Of a
wheat corner" the premier was IN
able to estimate the magnitude of the
danger, but the country was exposed
to this in time of peace as much as
in war time He admitted that an in
quiry into the matter was advisable,
as it would tend to allay some un-
founded fears as well as show that
some of the difficulties of the situation
could not be wholly removed. Mr..
Balfour added that he thought the in
quiry ought to include the questions
of insurance, the conditions of mod
ern maritime warfare, the methods by
which commerce could be protected
and destroyed and the amount of the
actual grain supply of the country.

If there is anything in the
Indiana plan of making voting
machines in the state peni-
tentiary, we ought to try it in
this state. where the employ
ment of convicts is as difficult
a problem AS paying for voting
machines. We suspect it will
be found, however, that the
chief cost of these machines in
in the patents, which would
have to be paid for anyway.
But perhaps some inventor
would go into partnership with
the state. The matter is worth
looking into before committing
the public to buying thc~e
costly machines Minneapolis

wich are interested in the same
question. No general law on
this question has been passed
and it is therefore a question
in which the whole state is in
terested rather than simply
this county. However County
Attorney Bickne1l is drafting a
bill which he will send to Re
preventative Stone, who will
probably find it expedient to
confer with the public examin-
er's department, whose work it
is to make suggestions to the
Legislature along such lines.
We go into this matter thus
fully for the reason that there
may be a misunderstanding
from the wording of the editor
ial in the Sun that the commits
sioners have only the simple
matter of getting the legisle-
ture to pass special law for
this county. 1t is necessary
to secure general law, and the
wishes of the whole state must
be consulted.

The voters of the village of
Morris met in caucus last eve
ming and nominated ticket to
be elected next Tuesday. The
word of this caucus has become
so powerful that the election
on the Tuesday following is
almost unnecessary-at least
as far as ascertaining the will
of the people is concerned.
The ordinary rule of a caucus
is that those who participate in
it are bound by the result, and
if there be any justice in ma

should prevail. AS long as we

The history of congress does
not afford another instance oi
party spitework quite so un.
justifable as that of the Demo
cratic minority in the present
house in persistently obstruct-
ing necessary and non-partisan
legislation with no other mo-
tive than a desire to punish
the Republican majority for
having denied a seat to Jim
Butler of St. Louis man
whom the leading Democratic
paper of his own city declares
never to have been elected.
The Democratic members have
themselves no objection to
many of the measures whose
passage they obstruct- they
are acting from a spite of pure
deviltry such as we sometimes
see in unspanked school boys.

At the county commissioners
meeting this week, the matter
of creating a sinking fund to
pay off the bonded indebted
ness of the county was taken
up and it was decided that it
would be in the interests of the
economical management of the
county to'create such a fund.
The present outstanding bonds
are $4,000 of Little Falls and
Dakota bonds, $4,000 of court
house bonds and $4,000 of seed
grain bonds. These must be
paid and it is better to levy a
small tax to create a sinking
fund to pay them off than to
have to refund them when they
become due.
The county commissioners
found on the advice Of the
county attorney, however, tha
they had no authority to levy
this extra tax to create this
fund and that it would be ne
cessary to apply to the legis-
1ature for authority. The coun-.
ties which already have sink
ing funds obtained them by
special legislation, but a few
years ago special legislation
was prohibited by amending
the constitution, and it is there
fore necessary that the legis-
lature pass general law. The
task of obtaining authority for
sinking fund is THUS rendered
much more difficult, because
when the general law is intro
duced, it will have to meet the
wishes of all the other counties

Books and Authors
NOT CONCLUSIVE

+ Z
Miss Jeanette Glider, editor Of the
Critic, notes that a New York publisher
takes the view that novels are about the
only books that are read at any time. He
told an author who offered him a biog-
raphy Of famous American that he
would take it, but he could not guarantee
to sell more than 5000 or: 5000. but ne
would readily guarantee the sale OF $4,000
copies if he would turn the biography into
a romance. The .author consented ana
made the conversion and the book sold
to the extent of rs, 900 copies.
This incident is certainly not conclu-
sive as proof Of the correctness of the
publishers assertion that novels are about
the only books read at any time.
Publishers lists and announcements
show that a vast amount of literature
other than fiction is published continually,
year after year. and it Is a business fact
formidably opposed to the views OF the
aforesaid publisher, that publishers do not
publish large issues of works on history, BIZ
ography, science, art, religion, travel, auto
biography, economics. sociology, ETC., for
the fun Of putting them in print. There
are more works Of this kind published
now than during any previous period OF
the worlds history People who talk
glibly about the supremacy of fiction
would do well to investigate the percent
age of the new fiction issued which gets
I into a second Or third edition. A large
portion of it dies a bornin'.''

THE MUSE AND PEGASUS

Ny thoughts forsake the ways of prose
And run to rhyme instanter.
Beholding her, how could there be
A surer inspiration?
And are not Pegasus and she "
The proper combination?
Her pony in my fancy seems
A winged beast, whose pinions
In safety bear my dream of dreams
Across Loves wide domnions
The slender quill wherewith write,
Transformed, becomes a feather
From Pegasus, and so, delight
And dream are mine together.
Line upon line, the rhythmic pace
Is what Myrtilla makes it;
The song is hers whose perfect grace
To melody awakes it.
Hers be it evermore to choose
A lyric or an idyl
And mine be it to love my muse.
