Plus X ELECTED POPE.

In selecting Cardinal Sarto as pope
the conclave seems have pleased the
church Us we'll as all the foreign govern
ments, Being comparative stranger
to most he has not made enemies to re-
sist him and his age and experience are
likely to enable him to conduct the
affairs of the church, in peaceable and
progressive manner The new pope took
the name of Plus X He has been at the
head of the church at Venice for years
and was an intimate friend of the late
Leo XIII, who but shortly before his
death declared that if his wishes were
followed Sarto would be his successor
The present pope is a fine appearing man

youth will enable him to outline and

THE CANADA THISTLE

But a few years back the Canada
thistle was not known throughout this
part Of the country, but now it claims
practically every farm, and grows along
every roadside. And whyY Because they
are being neglected and every farmer
tries to shirk his duty by saying IF
destroy mine my neighbor will not
destroy his so whats the use But
there IL Is great deal Of use and the soon
81 you get at it the better Every full
grown Canada thistle plant has about
tifty-thOusand seeds, and most Of them
grow, If given u chance, and yet the
plants can be killed with comparatively
little trouble. Ploughing kills them or
mply cutting them close TO the ground
whenever leaf shows itself, the thistle
cannot live If the leaves are not per

side Of 3 years had not a thiotle left on
the farm, having gotten rid Of them by
cutting only.

IMMIGRANTS

THE highest mark for immigration,
that of 1888, has been broken this year
and it seems as though the United
States will have million immigrants
enter its ports within year. This is
causing serious alarm to great many
people. Some figure to keep out all
those that have not a certain sum of
money but this argument is very faulty,
what this country wants is good citizens
irrespective of their means, and it is
very often the case that those with the
least money become our best citizens.
All of our people were immigrants once
upon time, and very few came here
with money at that, so why not give
those coming after you chance also.
Our country is large. very large, if 40

they loose courage because the neighbors
and railroads do not cut their
thistles Our state has given you an
ample remedy for this, and provides
as follows:
Sec. 1910 Every person and corpora
ton shall destroy upon all lands which
he or it shall own, occupy or control all
weeds known as canada thistles in such
manner and at such time as shall
prevent them from bearing seeds on his
property and to the center Of the high
way, alley or lane thereon. If such
person or corporation shall fail to destroy
such weeds within days from the time
that notice has been served on them by
a commissioner of noxious weeds he
shall be fined $500 for every day that
he shall neglect to do so.
Sec. 1880 a. Provides for the selection
of a commissioner of noxious weeds and
Sec 1880 b. defines their duties as follows:
Such officers shall investigate the ex-
istarce of weeds mentioned in sec. l4sO
and if the parties occupying orcontroling
the land shall refuse or neglect to destroy
those Oh their own land or to the center
of a street road, alley or lane adjoining
it, then the commissioner shall have the
weeds removed and the costs at the rate
of 81 90 a day to be charged up against
the land and it shall be collected in the
same way that tax is collected.
1881 Neglect of duty.
Any chairman, president or mayor
who shall neglect or refuse to appoint
one or more commissioners Of noxious
weeds within 30 days after his election
shall forfeit not less than $50 or more
than 800 90 and any commissioner who
after having taken an oath to perform
his duties shall neglect or refuse to do
his duty shall forfeit not less than so
or more than $25 90 for each and every
such refusal
From the above it is clear that any
one farmer can stamp the thistle out of
his entire town, without even making
enemies of his neighbors if he CHOOSES.
Your commissioner of noxious weeds
must see TO it, he has taken an oath to
do so and if he does not he is liable to a
fine. While the commissioner is auth
oriZed to hire men if necessary and
charge the cost up to the town which in
its turn collects it from the property
on which the work has been done in
the same manner that taxes are collect
ed SO there is no excuse for the con-
dition of our fields and roads. Writer
of this would like to be state weed com
missioner, he would not have the pull
of game warden. but he would COM
pell some people to pull thistles.
There are grain fields in our county
that from a distance LOOK like clover
fields in full bloom and on approaching
you lind the fields contain almost as
many thistles rs grain. Do away with
the thistles.

CHAS. SCAWAB RESIGNS

The president Of the steel trust has
handed in his resignation and it has
been accepted. So ends the brilliant
career OF Chas. Schwab in the steel line.
He started out at the age of 10 as a
steel worker earning dollar day and
worked rapidly up until he occupied
the position of president with an income
of million year. This seems to
have been too much for him. He went
to Europe, made fool of himself, caus-
ing his friend to even doubt his sanity
and finally was forced to resign.

Some time ago government experts
found that thousands Of acres Of hard
coal abound in Colorado, Utah and
Montana but at the same time 1t was
ascertained that all this land has been
purchased by the Colorado Coal & Fuel
Co. This land was sold as surface land
only and if the company intends to hold
it, il will be compelled to pay the gov
eminent about three million additional.
What Of it, three million is mere drop
in the bucket, that the coal company
will squeeze ont of the public in less
than "A year The mistake lies deeper
than that. In other countries, rs for
instance Canada, it is impossible for the
monopoly to get hold of necessary sup
plies AZ coal. iron, copper etc, the gov
eminent holds it for the benefit of the
people, the real owners, and does not
give it away that the people may be
charged outrageously for the small
amounts that they rebuy. Six months
ago the president called a commission to
investigate the coal strike, to find who
WAS wrong and to correct the evils exist
ing in the coal region. During short
time all was attention and excitement,
and now, what is the commission doing,
what has it done sold out to the coal

GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES CROOKEDNESS

The employees of the government
are supposed to be appointed under the
civil service and under those rrics the
person passing the best examin ion
would get the position why then is
there so much corruptness? Listen to
what the president of the board says:
1T is fact, however, that nearly all
of the persons. men or women, appoint
ed or employed in evasion or contraven-
ton of the civil service law and rules
who were examined during the investi-
CATION were appointed through the in
huence of senators and representatives
or high officials of the postoffice de-
partment.

past and there is probably no reason
why we should not be as successful in
the future as in the past.
