we are about ready TO throw the thing
into the street it takes notion to 20,
and for the life of us we can't tell why
it stopped or why it started. It has as
many whims as a maiden lady of un-
certain age, and is ten thousand times
as unreliable. .:+ 81 .ssaszs5 .iSs.zss5. 55E'
,s Winona Republican: Inasmuch as
the other counties have had delegates
heretofore in national conventions the
First district delegates to this year's
national republican convention should
be left to Mower, Waseca, Steele,
Winona and Olmsted counties. j. s,
y Minneapolis Tribune: The New
Y York legislature is about to consider
another mortgage tax law. This will
be in effect law. w.exempting mortgages
from taxation, because it will require
only the payment of q five mill record:
ing fee. It is q strange thing that the
greatest state; in the union has only
now arrived at the rational conclusion
that credits cannot and should not be
taxed as property. If an annual tax on
credits is paid, it is instantly trans
ferred, by increase in the rate ofsin-
'terest, to the borrower Of the money,
who has already paid tax Oh thesecurity
for the loan. 5s .,.A3 .;x.I.:.s
Minneapolis Times: 1t is clearly a
violation of the city ordinance {. and
many times every day at most ofsthe
railroad crossings citizens must wait
for five or ten minutes, or even longer,
until the freight crews see fit to move
out of the way or cut the train and
thus clear the crossing. If crews in
charge of freight trains know they are
breaking the law by blocking street
crossings, many of them show little re-
spect for this law. Railroad companies
should see that their employees know
the law and obey it. If they do not do
this the city authorities should make
use of the only remedy at hand, which
is arrest and fine.

Hutchinson Independent: There ar
over $50 students at the state school O
agriculture at St. Anthony Park, all O
whom are taking the regular three yea
course. The authorities state that i
the students were allowed to selec
studies, and no restriction ass t.
residence was imposed, they coul,
easily have 1900 there next year,
would seem, however, when one con
siders the advantage which this cours
will prove to the young man on, tn
farm, that the number ought easily t.
reach 1000. 1t is said that hereafter
condition will be imposed requiring
six months residence IN farm hefOr
entering. It would seem that this con
dition was very reasonable. 1t is lex
pected that it will shut out those from
the cities who simply attend the schoo
for the manual training, etc, and nev e
intend to take up farming as vocation
