For many days we have seen in
the daily papers of the State that
Senator Simmens would speak on
the Panama Canal treaty. After
having to wait impatiently fol-
many days, after the first announce
ment, the speech was delivered, OF
rather it was read.
Some parts of the speech were
good, But he spoiled it all when
he said he was in favor of the canal
treaty and would vote for it's rati.
fication, but that he did not approve
of the methods employed that made
the treaty possible.
The following is an extract from
his speech:
''To my mind, you might as well
say that 1 cannot administer on the
estate of a dead 1nan without ap.
proving Of his death, as to say that
/ cannot act upon the admitted fact
that Panama is an independent ma.
ton without approving of the means
by which that independence was
achieved"
Mr.. Simmons comparison is not
an analogous one. If he believes
the United States stole Panama he
should have said: ga person who
accepts stolen goods, knowing they
were stolen, is as guilty as the per
son that stole them" He is tryine
to ride the Democratic mule goine
in one direction and public opinion
going the opposite direction. and hi
will hear something drop very soon

The Seeds Problem.

The really extravagant farmer is the
one who saves in buying seeds. There
may be difference in seeds on the
market, but to the farmer there should
be no such thing in his vocabulary as
"poor seed.' No seed is worth more
than so much dirt if it is not strictly
good and true to variety. The use of
poor seed, which fails to germinate,
and which compels the farmer to re-
plant, may cause the loss of weeks in
the spring, making his crop late. And
that is not all, for he also loses the adj
vantage of the early rains and his yield
will thereby be reduced. With certain
crops there is also loss in quality and
prices. The seed used is everything
on farm.

New Laws Needed For Aliens.

From Frank =. Sargent's Discussion
of Present Perils of Immigration' in
the Century. Let aliens who come here
with fixed purpose to better their con-
dition and at the same time help to add
to the prosperity of the country, and
who can read and write their own
language, be admitted. In the admis-
sion of adults, an age limit should be
fixed, except in those instances where
parents come to join their children who
have settled here and who can clearly
proyesthat they are willing and ableste
support them. Make the physical re-
quirements binding, allowing no diseas-
ed alien, no matter from what cause to
be admitted. The head Of each family
should be in possession of money suf-
ficient to meet immediate needs until
employment could be found.

Cause of Red River Freshets.

The fact that the Red river runs
north has caused great deal of sorrow.
For 300 miles the river drags it's
sluggish way through country that is
almost dead level. It drains a
territory nowhere less than fifty miles
in width and one of it's tributaries, the
Red Lake river, brings water to it from
the great pine regious of Minnesota.
The bed of the river is narrow, with
high, precipitous banks in places and a
light precipitation over the great area
of country drained is sufficient to
change it's level many feet. AS a rule,
the water is flowing freely near the
head from two to three weeks before
the ice has broken at the mouth. This
condition causes the ice to gorge all
the way down and when there is a
heavy snowfall and the other condi-
tions are right, high water is inevitable.
This year there is more than the aver
age amount of snow in the valley
though it's depth does not compare
with that Of the famous flood of 1897.
A great deal Of interest is being taken
just now in the prospects for flood in
the Red river valley this spring. That
there is 4 possibility Of one is not
doubted.

An Ideal Candidate.

.JudgeL. w. Collins has been "a resi-
eilent Of minnesota for the last forty
mine years and during that entire
period has enjoyed the unbroken con-
fidence and respect of his fellowcitizens.
No act of his life, either public or
private, can be cited that in any man
ner detracts from his reputation OF
character as man aud citizen. In his
early manhood he contributed to the
safety and honor of his state in sup
pressing the Indian outbreak in fas'3
and for three years bore a patriotic
part in the war for the preservation OF
the Union.
For more than twenty years he has
served the state with great ability, llrst
as district judge and later as justice OF
the supreme court of Minnesota. Broad
mindedness, fidelity to duty and strict
integrity have marked his long career
as jurist, and today he enjoys the re-
spect and confidence of the entire state.
He has been life long republican
and is in entire accord with republican
policies, both state and national and
will courageously stand for the equal
and just enforcement of the laws. His
training as lawyer. his experience as a
legislator, his long and honorable career
as judge of our highest court, his inti-
mate knowledge of public affairs, his
familiarity with the history and growth
of our state and his high character as a
man are ample guarantees that he will
make an accomplished, able and accept
able chief executive, and will bring to
the discharge of the duties of that great
office, dignity, wisdom, intelligence and
patriotism.

this kind is apt to foster technicalities.
The authorities solved the difficult
ty. They passed a law requiring that
all such advertisements should dis
play the government stamp, which. at
ter being pasted on. should be struck
with the official seal. Reform is vir-
tually a certainty, therefore. for there
are but few baldheaded men or women
who would enjoy getting a knock on
the pate with a heavy seal.
French ingenuity in reform legisla-
ton commends itself to American law
makers. Our difficulty has been in
constructing laws which cannot be cir
cumvented by recourse to technicah-
ties. Let us eliminate this by incorpo-
rating practical technicalities in the
laws, and thus strike at the very source
of abuse.

not suffice to avert a water famine,
why not bring the water from the city s
pipes at Thomas springs into use by
conducting it to the city in an open
ditch? A ditch large enough for the
purpose could be dug within ten days
if an adequate force of men We're put
to work. This additional supply of
water would give the city protection
from fire ana allow the sprinkling of
streets to be continued. Within a few
weeks it is likely that good rains Will
set in that will end the threatened
water famine.

FRENCH REFORM SYSTEM.

In Paris it is a new custom to employ
baldheaded men as signposts. The
pate is exhibited about the downtown
streets of the gay metropolis without
a cover, and, Of course. pasers are
obliged to observe the inscriptions and
decorations. At the theater, too, the
advertisement pate probably is con-
spicuous in the front row.
But this form of publicity was some
what too eccentric even for Paris,
where idiosyncrasies are so common
that they seem to be natural and
proper. The public officials desired to
abolish it. The problem was how to
accomplish reform and enact a law
which would be effective. for law Of

The plan of building public bathing
establishments is not new to European
municipalities. although it is compare
lively so in American cities. But in
America those municipalities which
have opened such establishments try
to provide the accommodations free of
cost to the public; while European mu-
inequalities succeed in making their
institutions financially profitable
Free public baths are now included
among the necessities in large cities, as
there is a percentage of the communi-
ty. especially among the population in
congested districts. which finds no ac-
commodations in dwelling places The

not overfortunate, and Indirectly to-
ward the entire population, is clear.
few cities have met conditions by
installing and managing public bath
ing places, and they have considerate-
ly made the benefits wholly free or
have made rates just high enough to
overcome the cost of maintenance. The
success and popularity of the plan are
resulting in it's adoption in one city
after another.
In European cities the public bath is
a wellknown enterprise. Each NUM-
cipality, however, adapts the arrange
ments to local conditions. The city
of Colonge, Germany, with popula-
ton of about 100000, has three public
baths, the construction and installation
Of which cost more than s2SO,0OO. The
rates for different kinds of baths vary
from cents to 2S.5 cents. The re-
sorts are patronized by 1900 persons
daily
Public bathing establishments do not
properly serve their purposes unless
the accommodations are practically
free. They are not operated for profit,
but for the convenience of the public,
and city could not justly charge more
than what would, in the aggregate, be
equivalent to the cost of maintenance.
There should be more free public
baths in the large cities. Every dis
trict which is inhabited by compare
lively poor people, and where the
houses are not equipped with suitable
conveniences, should have an estab-
lishment. AS it is possible to afford
these important accommodations with
out making a heavy drain on NUM-
cipal finances. there is greater reason
for providing them.
