Increase tho Penalty.

AS result of the numerous recent
hold-ups and murders that have &C.
Cured in Minnesota the announcement
Is made that one of the first bills that
will be introduced in the Minnesota
legislature in January will be an act
providing punishment of life impris-
onment for conviction in any lold-up
case where a dangerous weapon is
used.
Such bill is in force in Illinois and
other states will adop: similar mea-
sures this year.
Should such bill b. introduced in
the Minnesota legislature there is little
doubt but that it would pass, as there
is strong sentiment already in favor
OF some such strenuous measure The
recent hold-ups in the vicinity of Min
neapolis have aroused the public and
anything in the way of Legislation that
would have tendency to check such
brutal work would have the support
of the public.
It is stated that the bill will be in
PRODUCED by member of the Ramsey
delegation in the house and that it will
be drawn alonf the lines of the Hi.

culture beat the world in cattle at the
international live stock exhibition in
Chicago, when Clear Lake Jute the
Aberdeen Angus two-year-old prize
steer, was awarded the first and great
est prize of the exposition, that OF
grand champion.
Clear Lake Jute won second place,
or that of reserved grand champion,
in the same exhibit year ago. He
was sent to the Chicago exposition by
the Minnesota institution in the hope
that he would this year capture the
first prize. He fulfilled their expecta-
tions of all the cattle experts at the in.
stitution by first carrying off first
place in the Angus prize contest and
followed this by winning the greatest
cattle prize in the nation.

State Fair Figures,

The Minnesota State Fair association
closes its fiscal year. Dec 10, with a
profit on the years operations of near
~ $4,000. The annual, report of the
association, which Wilt be given out
soon, will show that the rainy weather
which prevailed during the week OF
the fair this year did not make much
over $4,000 difference between the
profits of 1908 and 1904 fairs.
The excellent showing made by the
fair association is matter of much
surprise to the public in general 1t
was believed that the rains of fair
week would cut the profits down to a
small figure, and might even leave a
deficit on the years business.
Secretary E. w. Randall said that the
report of the years operations was now
nearly complete and tn at he believed
he was safe in saying the profits are
within $40, 900 of those of last year.

An electric COW mixer is the latest
invention which is receiving attention
by State Dairy and Food commissioner
w. w. P. Mcconnell.
The apparatus is similar to the one
now in use in many parts of Germany
The machine has rubber hood (which
is attached to the udder of the COW. A
rubber tube conveys the milk to a
large vessel and the air is removed
from the tube by a electrical device
and the action is sinilar to the suck
ing of calf. Other tubes can be run
to different cows. The highest sue.
cessful test that the machine has made
is on twenty cows.

may be that the Filipinos VIII misuse

misuse it II they are misled by foolish
persons here at home into starting an
agitation for their own independence or
into any factious or improper action. In
such case they will do themselves no
good and will stop for the time being all
further effort to advance them and give
them a greater share in their own gov
eminent. But if they act with wisdom
and self-restraint, if they show that they
are capable of electing legislature
which in its turn is capable of taking a
sane and efficient part in the actual work
Of government. they can rest assured
that a full and increasing measure of
recognition will be given them. Above
all they should. remember that their
prime needs.are moral and industrial, not
political. It is a good thing to try the
experiment of giving them a legislature:
but it is q far, better thing to give them
schools, good roads, railroads which will
enable them to get their products to mar

duce order, peace, fair dealing as between

Not Ready for Disarmament.
If these self-evident truths are kept be-

ton has no more right to do injustice to
another nation, strong or weak, than an
individual has to do injustice to another
Individual; that the same moral law applies
. in one case as in the other. But we must
also remember that it is as much the duty
of the nation to guard it's own rights and
its own interests as it is the duty of the
individual so to do: Within the nation the
individual has now delegated this right
to the state, that is, to the representative

But the citizenship of this country should
not be debased. ut is vital that we should
keep high the standard of .Well-beine
among our wage workers, and therefore
we should not admit masses Of men whose

the naturalization Of improper persons. Is
a curse to our government; and it is the
affair of every honest voter wherever born,
to see that no fraudulent voting is allowed
that no fraud In connection with natural

Naturalization Laws Need Revision.
There should be a comprehensive revi-
sion of the naturalization laws. The courts
having power to naturaliZe should be
definitely named by national authority; the
testimony upon which naturalization may
be conferred should be definitely prescribed;
publication OF impending naturalization
applications should be required In advance
OF their hearing in court;' the form, and
wording of all certificates issued should be
uniform throughout the country. and the
courts should be required to make returns
to the secretary Of state at stated periods
OF all naturalizations conferred.
Not only are the laws relating to
naturalization now defective, but those
relating to citizenship Of the; United
states ought also to be made the subject
OF scientific inquiry with a view to prob
able further legislation. BY what acts
expatriation may be assumed to have
been accomplished, how long an Amer
