Mr.. HOB[ DECLARES
HE is A DEMOCRAT
Proposed Candidate for Guber.
natoriaI Nomination Answers
j. B. kolsbun

The correspondent who insists that
1 am a Republican and not Democrat
does not know what he is talking
about. said e. H Hobe yesterday
when his attention had been, called to
the statement in a. letter written to
The Globe by J. B. Kolsbun, in
which the writer had declared Hobe
not an available candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor, as
he had always been a Republican.
Proof Of the statement, the correspon-
dent said, was in the fact that Mr..
Hobe is a member of Gov. Van SAINTS
staff.
Il have never been anything but a
Democrat" Mr.. Hobe said, "and for
years my sympathies and whatever
of influence have exerted have been
in the interest of the Democratic
party's success.
1T is true that am member of
Gov.IsNan SAINTS staff was original
ly appointed on the staff of Gov.
Clough, though just why I have never
been able to learn. I made no applica-
tion for the honor, but the Minneapolis
governor named me and served. Gov.
Van SAINT reappointed me and did not
refuse. The other members of the staff
always have referred to me as the
black sheep, and my well known
Democratic principles have been a
source of good-natured chatting from
my Republican associates on the gov
ernors staff. guess that / was named
simply out of compliment to good ma
ture, and it is just possible that my
military career has not been wholly
profitable one.
But seriously speaking" continued
Mr.. Hobe Il continue to receive letters
from my friends all over the state
urging me to make a genuine effort to
secure the Democratic nomination for
governor. Not only letters reach me
daily but there have been a good many
prominent men from different parts of
the state to call on me and they have
been quite urgent in their suggestions
that / make the race for the nomina
tion.
IF this thing keeps on am not sure
that l shall hold out against their evil
dent wishes, and it need SUI prise no
one to find me an active candidate
for the nomination"

POLES AND WIRES ON
DALE ORDERED DOWN
Aldermen Give Telephone Company
Sixty Days to Remove Them

ts4i
Another of the many steps needed
before overhead telephone wires cease
to mar the beauty of st. Paul streets
was taken last night when the board
of aldermen passed resolution di-
recting the Northwestern Telephone
Exchange company to remove it poles
and overhead wires from Dale street,
between Fairmeunt and ST. Anthony
avenues. The removal must be COM
pleted within sixty days or the work
will be undertaken by the city.
The Twin City Telephone company
was ordered to take its poles and over
head wires from Hague avenue, be-
tween Victoria street and Lexington
avenue, within fifteen days. The short
time specified is really gratuitous. Al
though the company was instructed
two months ago to remove its poles
and wires within sixty days. it has fail
ed to meet the wishes of the council.
Permission was granted to the Union
Manufacturing company to erect poles
and string wires in Merriam Park for
the distribution of electric power and
light.

ALL COUNTIES RAISE
THE ASSESSMENTS
Auditor Iverson Says Returns
Will Materially Assist State
Board of Equalization

Preparations are being made by
State Auditor Iverson for the annual
meeting of the state board of equali-
zation. which will be convened at the
state auditors office Tuesday, Sept. g.
Nine new members of the board will
be named by Gov. Van SAINT, and it is
expected that the appointments Will
be announced by the governor next
week.
There are eighteen members of the
board of equalization, and under the
law the terms of just half the total
membership expire each two years
This year the terms of members from
the odd numbered judicial districts
expire, and the retiring members are:
r. J. Johnson Cannon Falls, First dis
E trict; j. G. Lawrence, Wabasha,
Third; George S. Brainerd, Blooming
Prairie, Fifth; C. M. Sprague, Sauk
Center, Seventh; Thorn Hodgson,
Nicollet, Ninth; ]. E Cooley, Duluth,
Eleventh; c. E. Dinehart, Fulda. Thir-
teenth; F. NJ Shook, Aitkin, Fiji
teenth; A. H. Strang. Jackson, Seven
teenth. 1t is generally understood that
since the retiring members are all
originally appointees of Gov Van
SAINT, the major number of them will
be reappointed.
This year the state board will be
called upon to equalize the assess
ments of both real estate and personal
property, under the law the realty be-
ing equalized on even numbered years
in addition to the equalization of per-
sonal property assessments made each
year. The board will be in session the
better part of month, but it will be
favored by an unusually good assess
ment, according to Auditor Iverson.
That official said yesterday:
81 know from the abstracts of the
county assessments already filed in
my office and from conversations with
county auditors who have called dur
ing the past few days, since the equal
ization has been made by the country
boards, that there has been a very
general desire on the part of as
SCISSORS to list all the property and to
put the assessment on a fair basis Of
values. There has been general
raise all over the state on values, and
this win be of material assistance to
the state board in arriving at an easy
equalization of the total assessment of
the state"

INDIAN PUPILS APT
Principal CasweII Tells of Cass
Lake Indian School,

"The aptitude of the average Indian
child for learning is practically a GER
tain indication of the home influence
of the child. If the Indian parents send
the child to school because they want
the child to learn and from a knowl-
edge that it is good for the child to Sc
cure at least the rudiments of an edu-
cation, then the pupil is apt, tractable
and industrious, but if the parents send
their offspring to school because they
have to or to get the youngsters out of
the way, there is very little headway
made with that child's education,' said
Benjamin Caswell, principal of the
Cass Lake Indian school, who, with his
wife and little daughter, is at the Mer-
chants hotel.
Environment is everything with the
Indian youth when he gets inside the
school house walls. His home inf1u-
ence absolutely determines his progress
or his stagnation in school, and his
school conduct largely foreshadows his
future in life. The government is doing
everything possible to tighten the way
for our people, and it must be said to
their credit that many Of them are
making the most of their opportuni-
ties"
Caswell is full blood Chippewa.
Born at Mile Laos lake. he went with
his parents Wnen young 10 the Wmte
Earth reservation, where, after attend
ing the reservation boarding school he
went to Carlisle Indian school in Penn
sylvania. He was graduated from Car
Isle in 1894, and says he was captain
of the football team representing the
famous Indian college in 1892. He
speaks English almost perfectly,
though his parents at Mile Laos were
limited entirely to the Chippewa
tongue Mrs Caswell is an Oneida,
and they are on their way home from a
visit to her people on the Oneida res
ervation, near Green Bay Wis.
With the parents speaking different
Indian tongues, their common language
is English, and their bright little girl
can speak nothing but this language.

The educated farmer can yearly IN

twenty-five 10 fifty bushels OF lime per

made by burning the rock on the farm
or near IL. Lime is the basis from
which the rich soils OF middle Tennes-

Lime increases the warmth or the soil
and hastens the maturity OF the crops
grown thereon. Lime assists fertiliz-
ers by neutralizing the acids I'm the

Hens will lay as many eggs without

This may be a new thought TO most OF
the patrons OF the Southern Agricul-
turist. but IL is a fact. Any. farmer
growing eggs for market should have
the hens in separate enclosures from
their ROSTERS. Legs that are TO be
preserved should be from hens that
have no male birds running with them.
The reason for this Is that a fertile
egg has within IL the life germ which

on Robben Island for eight years as
person suspected OF having leprosy.
was recently allowed to return TO his
family as non-aflicted. He was for
merly a shipwrecked sailor who took
a farm at the Cape. married and pros
pered exceedingly. Mosquito bites
were mistaken for leprosy by a field
ccrnet. who sent him TO Robben
Island. He returned home broken IN
spirit and financially ruined. his prop
erty having been sold for the upkeep
OF his children.
