LIKED ST. LOUIS SHOW.
General Gustav Widell and FamiI,
Visit the Worlds Fair.
From Wednesdays Daily.

General Widell and family are home
from st. Louis where they visited the
fair. This is the fourth Worlds Fair
that the general has seen, and he con-
siders the st. Louis show the finest.
with the exception of the electrical dis
play. In this respect the electrical IL
luminations at the Buffalo fair were SUI
perior. General Widell states that he
compares very favorably with those of
other states, considering the cost of
the structures. The display made by
Minnesota is not as large as those made
by some other commonwealth, but what
there is can be put down as superior in
quality to many others. The fact that
the fair occupies so much ground space
is pleasing to the large majority of
people as there is less crowding than at
other fairs of similar character. The
exhibits made by Germany and Japan
are simply grand, in the opinion of the
general, but as a whole the displays
made by this country are far ahead of
those of foreign nations. Among other
places of special interest was the Fill
pino village, also the Indian school and
the Esquimaux village.
Other attractive features We're the
flower garden-the Cascade, Machinery
and Sunken gardens.
General Widell says that person
could spend twenty five years at the
fair and yet he could not see everything
there is on exhibition. The fair is of
such a magnitude that its grandeur can
not be expressed in words.
General Widell found the charges for
meals reasonable.

LABELS MUST SPECIFY.
Syrup Makers Will Be Watched by the
Food Commission.
From Thursdays Daily.

The state dairy and food commission
is preparing to make vigorous crusade
upon manufacturers of maple syrup
who have not complied with the label
law which went into effect the first of
the year. The department officials be-
lieve there are many prominent brands
that do not comply with the state law.
IF manufacturer sees fit to make
maple sugar three parts cane and one
pure maple sugar this department has
no objection" said one OF the deputies
yesterday, "but he must not forget to
mixture has been made. There is moth
ing the least harmful about the adul-
teration but the consumer has a right to
know what he is getting for his money.
"We find that there are many brands
of maple syrup on the market which do
not comply with the law. The depart
ment is preparing to secure samples to
make sure that the ingredients of each
brand are plainly stamped upon the ar
ticle before it appears on the market
We are receiving samples every day and
on the whole there seems to be a gen
eral tendency on the part of the manu-
facturers to comply with the new law"
Minnesota and Wisconsin are fast
creeping up into the front rank of the
maple sugar producing states.
minnesota produces maple sugar as
good in quality as that from the maple
woods of Vermont" said George i.
bingham of the department. ''There are
in the southern and northeastern parts
of the state some of the finest maple
groves in the country which are produc-
ing hundreds of gallons of syrup each
year. There is a grove of NAPLES in
Chisago county where the industry is
carried on in a small way.
Those interested in the industry in
Minnesota and Wisconsin have profted
from the experiences of the older states
The scientific tapping of the trees does
them no harm nor is there the least dan
ger that the supply of sap will be grad
ually diminished"

DR.. SMITH STARTLED THEM
University Professor Makes Sensa-
tionai Statement to Glass.
From Wednesdays Daily,

81 would rather have criminal for
my father and thief for my mother,
providing they were both perfectly heal
thy, than have consumptive deacon for
my father and an hysterical saint for
my mother"
DIR. S. G. Smith, professor of soci-
ology, in lecture to his class in social
pathology at the state university Sat
urday made the above startling state
ment relative to his views on the i'm
portance of physical well being to moral
welfare.
DR.. Smith denies the theory which
holds that mental characteristics are in
herited, but insists that moral perversion
may result from transmission of ply
steal defects, or through abnormal ply
steal conditions.
In illustration of this doctrine Prof.
Smith claimed that while drunkenness.
or a taste for drink could not be inherit
ed, still such neurotic condition of the
system as would induce an individual to
indulge in strong drink might easily
descend from parent to child
DR.. Smith is pastor of the Peoples
church, St. Paul, and we'll known and
recognized authority on sociological sub
jects.

EUGENE v. DEBS, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF THE
SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

less the presidents Independent in
quiries corTobate them as to the fitness
of applicants. 'Fitness first; then ac-
ceptability to the people; then the char
acter of his backing is the order
in which the president has insisted on
considering the claims of all applicants
for office. To his insistence on this rule
is to be attributed whatever disgruntle-
ment with the president has existed
among his party associates. 1t has re-
quired no little courage, no little firm
ness, sometimes an emphatic assertion
of the superiority of the presidents

the wisdom of Mr.. Roosevelt's course
has come to be recognized, even by SEN
ators and representatives whom he has
o.sended, since it is seen how few had
appointments have been charged up to
the administration, even in the heat OF
the present campaign.-St. Paul Pioneer

ROosEvEL7's GOOD WORK.
1t Was Performed While on the Civil
Service Commission.
From Wednesdays Daily.

In considering the service of Theodore
Roosevelt in connection with civil SER
vice reform, reference is usually made
altogether to what he has done in ex
tending the classified service, in closing
up loOpholes for favoritism therein, in
furnishing infractions of the rules, and
in impressing upon politicians and spoils-
men the desirability of the merit sys-
tenn. But perhaps his greatest work
has been the practical extension of the
merit system to the unclassifed service
that is, to those appointments where
no examining board pass upon the quail
fications of candidates and where poll
tical influence still remains a large
factor in determining who shall fill the
offices. The practical abandonment of
the executive prerogative in the selection
