MIR, Clement and state Expens es

In fairness, Mr.. Clement, in criticising
the growth of state expenses, ought to
explain that large part of the increase
over former years comes from the cost OF
caring for the pauper insane. Formerly,
it was done by the the towns, in a most
unsatisfactory, not to say inhumane
way. Would he have us go back to the
old method for the sake of the saving
Are not the state asylums justifying their
existence.-[ Randolph Herald and News.
The Standard Oil Next.
With the law as it stands, under this
decision it becomes Mr.. Roosevelt's duty
to proceed impartially against every cor
poration or ombination tending to
restrain interstate commerce or to mon
opolize trade. no matter how reasonably,
or possessing the potentialities of re-
straint or monopoly. Againt whom
will the Hon. Philander c. Knox be next
directed to proceed? Will it be the
Standard Oil Company ?e[New York

"Both Mr.. Clement and Mr.. Agan are
doomed to citizenship in no-license COM
munities next year unless they change
their respective places of residence. -
Exchange.
AS long as local option, the principle
for which Mr.. Clement and Mr.. Agan
both commended, is preserved, neither
gentleman will probably object to the
choice either way, license or no license,
of the voters.
It seems to be very hard for some
people to understand that the issue OF
the recent campaign was between prohi-
bition and local option, not between
prohibition and license. These misdirect-
ed shafts of editorial sarcasm are getting
decidedly chestnutty.-[ Brattleboro Re-

HaZing VS.. Lynchimg.
A jury award of ST 900 damages to a
hazed student at the Montpelier, Vt,
seminary will discourage incipient mob
law practices more than any number of
explosions. Making the hazers pay for
their outlawry is as just as compelling
the leading citizens" of the south to
support the family of a man who has
been lynched, and the courts are wise in
refusing to draw any fine distinctions.
Il Boston Evening Record.
An Original Explanation.
Vermont is now discussing the reasons
for its decline in agriculture. It's prestige
as a butter, maple sugar, and turkey
state is not impaired, but the volume of
production has not kept pace with the
general development that has character
lied the rest of New England. One native
offers the explanation that the young
men of Vermont, who enlisted in the
Civil war, settled in other common
wealths, and that their home land has
never been able torecover from the loss.

Tom Sawyer and the Spring Fever.

Tom Sawyer and the Spring Fever.
Mr.. Howells once said that rs years
from now M ark Twain's fame would rest
not on his many books of humor and
travel, but on his perfect delineation Of
the American boy as exemplifed in Tom
Sawyer. Here is delicious and timely
bit from his story "Tom Sawyer, Detect
i've"
1.-THE frost was working out of the
ground, and out of the air, too, and it
foot time every day; and next it would
be marble time, and next mumblety- peg,
and next tops and hoops, and next kites,
and right way it would be summer and
going a-swimming. 1t just makes a boy
homesick to look ahead like that and see
how far off summer is. Yes, and it sets
him to signing and sadding around, and
there's something the the matter with
him, he don't know what. But anyway
he gets out by himself and mopes and
thinks; and mostly he hunts for lone
some place high up on the bill in the edge
of the woods, and sets there and looks
away off on the big Mississippi down
there a-reaching miles and miles around
the points where the timber looks smoky
and dim it's so far off and still, and
everything's so solemn it seems like
everybody you've loved is dead and
gone, and you most wish you was dead
and gone, too. and done with it all.
Don't you know what that is? It's
spring fever. That is what the name
of it is. And when you've got it you
want-Oh, you don't quite know what
it is you do want. but it just fairly makes
your heart ache, you want it sol It
seems to you that mainly what you
want is TO get away; get away from the
same old tedious things you're so used
to seeing and SO tired of, and see some

An ORIGINAL ExpIanafion,
ROoseveIt's "MiStakeS. :"

Leslie's Weekly has compiled list OF
the mistakes of Roosevelt and adds, by
way of comment, that "the American
people love Roosevelt for some of the
mistakes he has made" Here is the
whole category:
He ended the coal strike in 1902, and
thereby opened the mines, gave work to
tens of thousands of persons who had
been idle for months and reduced the
price of coal to $4,000, 900 Americans.
He carried out the country's pledge
with Cuba, first by withdrawing the
troops from the island after paci6cation
had become complete, and then by Undue
ing an apathetic congress to grant to
the island the reciprocity which had been
promised.
He led congress to pass the national
irrigation act, which will benefit every
state and territory west of the longitude
of Missouri's western boundary, which
will open to settlement new empire in
the arid region, comprising over third
of the contiguous part OF the United
States.
He enforced the Sherman anti trust act
of 1890 so that the people can repeal it
if they dislike it, can strengthen and
extend it if they want to retain it and if
it needs strengthening and extending
and in so doing give vitality to a statute
which had been forgotten, and he
also carried out republican pledge
repeated in many of the national plat
forms.
He called a halt on England, Germany
and Italy in their projected attack on
Venezuela, compelled the disputants to
submit to arbitration and thus gave in
national and final sanction to the
Monroe doctrine.
He negotiated a commercial treaty
with China, overcame Russian menaces
at Peking, induced the Emperor of China
to ratity the treaty, and thus opened the
Manchurian ports of Mukden and An.
tung to the trade of the United States.
He induced England to agree to the
abrogation of the Clay Bull wer treaty
of 1850, which tied the United States
hands in canal building across the 18th
mus; negotiated a canal treaty with
Colombia, which that country blindly
rejected; then he turned to the newly
created Republic of Panama, which
seeded from Colombia on account of
the latter's folly in refusing to accept the
canal treaty, gained a treaty with Pana-
ma under which the canal is to be built
and world-dream of four centuries
duration is to be. transmitted into fact.
For his work in getting an ist1mian
canal under American control he brought
the bulk of the southern democracy
over to his side, and Tor the time bIotted
out party lines throughout the United
States more thoroughly than they had
been blotted ont before or since Monroe's
''era of good feeling"

Frank Polcin, the well known Wi

Houghmaster building destroyed by
fire on Oct. I'D last, was again in
Redwood Falls last Tuesday and
Wednesday, and while here he en-
tered into a contract with George

other material necessary in re-
building the block. Mr.. Polcin will

parts of the county. Mr.. Draper is
firm in the belief that he will not be
removed. Mr.. Lewis having been
owner~of the Bright Eyes when that
paper made its big fight for Mr..

beneficial to his candidacy at this

The SALMON
SEASON ON
Manager Harper Of the Clark ston
Fish Trap Secures a
Good Catch
Especial to Evening Teller,

CLAnhSION. WASH, October 26
There are strong indications that q
good run" of salmon may soon be ex-
pected In Snake river. For two months
past the fishermen have been patientlv
waiting. but. as yet. they have had lit
tie success. The reporter has just Wis.,
tied the big outfit Of the Charleston
Fish Trap, of which Grant Harper is
manager and while on the ground a
"haur was made. This brought in
about $50 members Of the finny tribe
including royal chinook" "stulhead"
and ,sFsilverside" salmon: '.chub."
"whitefisht" "succors," carp" "stur-'
geon." and "coppers" Mr.. Harper
says that thus far this season most of
the salmon have been of reddish color
indicating a long sojourn in this To-
cality, but now those caught are much
whittier, meaning that they came in from
the Columbia river. The big fish trap
has lead" of $50 feet; pot" six
teen feet square and twelve feet deep.
while the heart" is thirty feet long.
The trap is now raised about twice
each week. In order that many per-
sons may enjoy the sight. a haul is
made at. o'clock. Sunday afternoon.
1t is located about three quarters of
mile due north of the High school
building. Although there is a lie1t
run. yet, now and then some good fish
are caught. Yesterday a twenty five
pound royal chinook got caught in
the fish netting. from the outside and
Mr. Harper succeeded in landing the
big fellow. The other day seventy
five pound sturgeon wandered into the
trap and was caught Mr.. Harper saws
the poor run seems to come every four
years and that If this is a bad year
next year there will be a fine season
But he tells how seven years ago the
season here was very late, but along
about Christmas time, when the ice
had formed along the rivers edge. there
was remarkable run and it is Just
possible that this may be the case this
year. There is very ready sale for
all the fish that can be caught and they
bring 10 cents per pound. right at the
