ODD THINGS IN NATURE.
Some Queries About Bees, Birds and
Lightning That Still Remain
Unanswered.

Whatever opens up new doors
or windows for us into the world
about us, whateverwidens the field
of our interests and sympathies,
has some sort of value, says John
Burroughs, in Country Life in
America. But much of the SO
called nature study opens no new
doors or windows; it affords no
mental satisfaction, or illumina-
ton, or esthetic pleasure; it is
mainly %pOttering with dry, unim-
portant facts and details. Do you
know the edelweiss flowers or our
own matchless arbutus after you
have merely analysed and classi-
&ed them? NOmOre than you know
a man after having weighed and
measured him.

Interesting. What do they do?
How do they pay their way in the
rigid economy of nature? How do
they survive? How does the bulb
of the common law lily get deep.
er and deeper into the ground each
year? Why does the ginger-rOOt
hide its blossoms when nearly all
other plants faunt theirs? Why
do the roots of trees flow through
the ground like "runnels of molten
metal" often separating and unit
ing again, while the branches are
thrust out in right lines or curves?
Why is our common yellow birch
more often than any other tree
planted upon a rock? Why do
oaks or chestnuts so often spring
mp where a pine or hemlOck forest
has been cleared away? Why does
lightning so commonly strike a
hemlOck tree or pine or an oak, and
rarely or never "a beech? Why does
the bolt sometimes scatter the tree
about, and at other times only
pillow a channel down its trunk?
Why does the bumblebee complain
so loudly when working upon GER
tain flowers? Why does the hon
ey-bee lose the sting when 1t stings
a person, while the wasp, the hOr-
net and the bumblebee do not?

Where Justice Is Blind.

A former court bailiff in Chicago ad-
mits that he bribed at least 100 jurors
in the circuit court, besides assisting
in other bribery cases. His testimony
involves a prominent lawyer in Chi
cago, Alexander Sullivan, who was
representing the West Chicago City
Railway company when the jury brib-
ing was done, and who is now facing
disbarment proceedings. AS attorney
for the street railway company Sulli-
van sent for this court bailiff and en-
ployed him to- fix juries. In his
statement the bailiff said:
I didn't keep books, and don't re-
member names. Jury bribing is a danger
GUS business, and the less one remembers
the better. as
It doesn't follow that because two men
are working together In crooked bust
ness that they are friends f}Saf
Holding out against eleven men In order
to hang a jury requires bulldog grit. Il
IS worth the $50 that usually paid.
The bailiff may be punished and the
'.prominent lawyer may also suffer
but what Of the street railway officials
whose money was used in this dis
reputable business? They are the
really guilty parties, for they corrupt
not only men but the whole system OF
Justice, vet nobody seems to have
thought Of trying to go after them.

"A Mistake Averted.

The general public will approve OF
the decision of, Judge Kelly Of the,
Ramsey district court. that the CAPT
tol commissioners were not required
to advertise for bids for the mural
decorations Of the Interior. TheFlaborl
unions objected to the course the
commissioners took in placing the
work where they thought the best re-
suits would be obtained, because they
found that the artists who would do
the work were not members of unions.
They seemed to be less concerned
about the satisfaction and inspiration
the present and future generations
might derive from the paintings than
they were as to whether the work was
to have the union label or not. The
quality Of the work did not seem to
interest them SO much as the afhlia-
tions Of the persons who were to do It.
This is one Of the absurd results Of
carrying good thing too far. Every
body but the labor leaders who were
responsible for this fantastic idea that
even high-prioed artists, who In no
way compete with the artisans Of the
unions, must belong to unions
saw the folly Of the attempt
to prevent Minnesota having some
thing better than stenciling on
the walls of its noble capitol. Even
when they perceived that the common
sense Of the community was against
them, the men who made this mistake
persisted in it with the result thai
they have now been turned down
with a slam by the courts.
Trade unionism has troubles enough
and enemies enough, and its path i
beset with difficulties enough without
deliberately seeking to increase thf
number of it's enemies and tht
strength of their opposition. VIVA
was the use of making such a gratu
ftous bull as this concerning the mura
decorations of the capitol?

Cannon Falls acknowledging from the
Collins complexion Of the
state convention in Minneapolis last week,
the Dunn news papers are doing the "hol-

and marked similarity in the editorials in
the Dunn papers. They read much as

is so Overwhelming for Dumas the Dunn
papers have tried to make us believe.
Browns Valley Interlake Tribune-Bob
Dunn says that he is glad the merger has
been decided, because it will remove the
question from politics.. You see, Bob
made Light Of the governors fight against
the merger two years ago, and intimated
that it didn't amount to much. The SUI
preme court Of the United States consid-
cred it a very important question. and a
majority OF that body has agreed with
Governor Van SAINTS views. And Mr..
Dunn's wish to remove the question from
politics will by no means remove it. This
is but the first blow in general fight
that is to be made against great COM
-bines and mergers that are forming to
restrict trade and do away with legiti-
mate competition. We not only want men
in high official positions in the state and
nation who are in sympathy with this
merger decision, in order that the law may
continue to be enforced strictly, but we
also want such men because we desire
them to continue the good fight that has
