Another Trolley Line Proposed.

The Freedom County Times says
that q move is on foot for the building
of an electric line from Albert Lea to
Mankato. The principal movers in the
scheme are Albert Lea men, but the CAPT
tai will be furnished by outside parties.
The Times says that the country through
which it is proposed to run is in need of
railroad and that if an electric line
will pay anywhere it will pay there.
The move for this road is in line with
the suggestion made by The Independ-
ent- Times some weeks ago, that if the
business men along the line from Man
kato to st. Cloud would form an organ
ization for the purpose, they could soon
get an electric line up through this
section. Perhaps if the Albert Lea Man
kato line is go it will aid in move to
get line up this way.-Hutchinson

WILL TEST WINTER WHEAT.
Professors Hays and Bull Making
Some Experiments.
From Saturdays Daily.

from saturdays Daily.
Winter wheat will become the staple
product of Minnesota and spring wheat
will be displaced if experiments now
under way at the state experiment sta.
ton are successful.
Profs. W. NJ. Hays and Coates P
Bull, who are in charge of the work
are convinced that they are able to make
possible this revolution in Minnesota
farming.
A strain of winter wheat has been
discovered, which by actual tests, yields
more to the acre in given term of years
than spring wheat can.
This variety of winter wheat is being
made more hardy in order that it may
thrive in the soil and climate of Minneso-
ia, whereupon seed will be distributed
throughout the state.
Average yields on land sown at the
station have been 3S bushels for this
variety of winter wheat as compared
with % bushels for the best variety of
spring wheat.
The culture of winter wheat would
therefore be the more profitable of the
two varieties even if the winter wheat
should prove failure two years out of
five.
This proportion of failures, however,
is not likely, as fields which have blight
ed in winter can be resown to hard wheat
in spring, the only loss being the cost
of the winter wheat used for seed, as no
further preparation of the ground is

MAN WITH JAG HAS RIGHTS.
An Opinion Handed Down BY Justice
Lovely Of Supreme Court.
From Saturdays Daily.


According to Justice Lovely, the in
toxication of pedestrian does not JUS
tify the negligence which occasions his
injury, nor allow one, who has been
guilty of carelessness, to charge up
against the unfortunate victim the con-
sequence of his own fault unless it is
also the case that the drunken mans
misconduct is the direct and proximate
cause, of the accident.
can intoxicated person receiving in
juries by reason of the negligence of an
other is not for the reason, as matter
of law, precluded from recovery, but his
mental condition is question of fact
to be considered by the jury" says the
court.
These grounds are taken by Justice
Lovely in the case of John Clarke, re-
spondent, VS.. Philadelphia & Reading
Coal and Iron company, appellant, which
went up from Ramsey county.
Clarke was injured by falling into a
coal hole in front of the Astoria hotel,
and sued to recover damages by reason
of his injuries. 1t was admitted that
the defendants agents had removed the
cover from the coal hole.
The district court awarded damages
in the sum of $1,000, which the supreme
court says is not excessive, in view of
the nature and extent of the injuries.
The defendant moved for new trial,
which was denied, and an appeal taken.
The order appealed from is affirmed.
On the trial defendant sought to es-
tablished the fact that Clarke was in
toxicated at the time OF the accident,
and was therefore guilty of contributory
negligence.
The supreme court holds that the YER
dict must be sustained on the ground
that it was an issue of fact whether
defendant exercised reasonable care in
removing the cover and guarding the
hole.

BURGLARS AT ST. PETER.
Little Girls Saw Masked Intruder,

Burglars entered the home of Pat
rick Martin in the south part of town
last night. The entrance was effected
through rear window, and the bur-
glars passed through room occupied
by the children of John Fay, who saw
the masked men. It appears that in
Minneapolis the Fay home was entered,
and one of the little girls, in crying out,
was gagged. When asked why she did
not alarm the house on this occasion,
she said that she didn't want to be gag
ged again. Mr.. Martin heard the fell

but though it was some of the occupants
of the house. So far as known now, no
property was taken. Mr.. Casura had

Mr.. NELSON'S AMENDMENT.
1t Correctly Reflects the Sentiment Of
Western People.

From Saturdays Daily.
Senator Knute Nelson is entitled to
the thanks of the Republicans of the
northwest, and of Republicans every
where who believe that the time has
about come for changes to be made in
some of the schedules of the Dingley
tariff law, for the position which he took
at the meeting of the platform commit
tee of the Chicago convention. Senator
Nelson didn't get exactly what he want
ed, but his move was in the right direc-
ton.
During the discussion of the platform
by the subcommittee of twelve, Senator
Nelson offered an amendment as fol-
lows:
"The measure of protection should al
ways equal the difference in cost of pro-
duction at home and abroad
That amendment was debated for an
hour or more, and, finally, on the mi
tiative of the ultra protectionists of the
subcommittee, and against Nelson's pro-
test, the words cat least" were inserted,
after which it was adopted. With this
addition the Nelson amendment provides
that 'the measure of protection should
always at least equal the difference in
the cost of production at home and
abroad"
As originally presented, the Nelson
amendment correctly reflects the views
of all moderate tariff Republicans, and
it is to be regretted that it could not
be adopted without alteration. The best
judgment of the American people is OPP
posed to the bonus theory. The moment
the measure of protection exceeds the
difference in the cost of production at
home and abroad, the bonus begins to op-
crate. Senator Nelson's amendment
would have prevented declaration by
the Republican party Indirectly favoring
the bonus. At the same time, however,
the tariff plank as whole marks an
advance over that of 1900, and with the
other planks, keeps the platform in
touch with the latest phases of business
and industrial thought. If it leans at
all it is in the direction of revision.
Revision sentiment was very strong in
the national convention, and Senator
Lodge is to be congratulated on the good
sense which he displayed in providing
that a Republican congress and presi-
dent should be the sole judge of the time
when revision should be undertaken.
This declaration will satisfy the cham
pions of the "Iowa idea" and all Re-
publicans who indorse that idea. Those
who know the history of this plank and
the attitude of the president personally
rely upon the confidence expectation that
the president will write revision mes
sage, calling an extra session of congress,
as soon as practicable after the 4th of
March, 1905, to consider the schedules.
1t seems to be the very general opinion
among party leaders that revision will
be accomplished sometime during the life
of the fifty ninth congress, which will be
elected in November. The Chicago plat
form will make the approach to it by
congress and the president much easier
than otherwise would be possible, and
e
to credit for the work which he did
on the subcommittee of twelve to bring
about this condition of affairs.-Minne-
