President Roosevelt has been.tak-
ing hand in legislation of late and
as a result the antitrust bill has
been passed and the department Of
commerce bill with it's bureau of
corporations has been passed. The
president does not believe in legis-
lation passed only for it's political
effect but believes in laws, and there
is no denying the fact that he has
simply forced congress to pass this
needed legislation.
Morris tribune., 1903-02-14

A bill has been introduced in the
house to extend the Torrens system
of land transfers to the entire state.
While this system has not been en-
Enthusiastically received in Hennepin,
Ramsey and st. Louis counties where
it was introduced last year, yet we
believe the system is right and will
finally become popular, as it provides
a much more satisfactory way Of es-
tablishipg land titles and making land
transfers than the present encumbrous
method.

minent local politician yesterday,
THAT little man Volstead from the
Seventh district will be in congress
when every other Minnesota member
p now in the house is out. Volstead is
more than likely to make good this
claim Some people have expressed
disappointment in Volstead because
z he is not a shouter. He is quiet
transformations, almost timid little
man But he sees and he knows.
Almost unknown outside his own
county he went into the large Seventh
district and defeated such campaign
ers as Bowling and Young. The
man who can do that is to be reckon
ed with.
When the Minnesota delegation
met to act on speaker last fall Vol
stead dropped quietly into the Mer-
chants, and while all the other con-
gresham occupied the center of the
corridor and attracted general atten-
ton: Volstead quietly took himself
to an obscure corner in the rear and
no Que was aware of his presence
That's his way. He won't be very

Peary says that he is willing to try

give it to the poor, Peary. The trusts

Russell Sage has given out an
interview in which he says that the
general prosperity of the last year
will continue undated during the
coming year. Coming from an
authority who is usually prophet of
storms, the opinion should have
much weight. Furthermore the
opinion is borne out by the general
vbusiness conditions of the last few
weeks, and after the temporary
stringency of this fall which seems to
steady investments and inves ors,
good times may now be expected
until the presidential election, which
ds always period of quiesence in

"Do you know what they do? They
Just get few handfuls of rice ana
sprinkle 1t on the roofs Of the people
they hate.
"Then what do you think happensf
Why, then the monkeys come focking
down from all the trees on to that roof
after the rice. They eat all there Is on
the surface of the roof. and then, to
get at the stray grains that have lodged
in the crannies, they begin to pull the
shingles off. Wherever there is n grain

other place they pull the roof up to get
at 1t, and finally. 10 and behold, there
is no roof left! The monkeys have torn
IT all away. Then the man who spread
the rice laughs subtly, for be has had
his revenge. and yet no one knows and
he cannot be punished"
