The State EntomOIogiSt

Because we have been so free this
year from attacks of Hessian fly and
chinch bug, farmers must not feel
that they are to be always immune in
this line. The condition of crops,
climate and soil are such through
parts of Minnesota that we will always
have the festive chinch bug and the
active Hessian fly with us in greater
or less abundance, and without doubt,
some seasons will witness serious at
tacks of grasshoppers in portions of
the state, as we'll as the two insects
above mentioned.

JOHNSON AND
THE MERGER

He Bitterly Opposed Governor Van
SAINTS Action Against the Railroad
Merger, and the St. Paul Globe,
James J. Hills Newspaper, is
Now Strongly Supporting
Him for Governor.
The st. Paul Globe is owned, body
and breeches, by James ]. Hill, presi-
dent of the Great Northern Railway.
It was the st. Paul Globe that bolted
Bryan in 1896, and did it's best to dis
rupt the Democratic party. The st.
Paul Globe is nov bitterly attacking
r. c. Dunn and supporting John A.
Johnson. The consistency of it's sup
port of John A. Johnson may be meas
ured by the fact that Johnson is at
tempting, in his campaign speeches,
to borrow credit by endorsing the &C
ton of Governor Van SAINT in regard
to the railway merger while the Globe
has blackguarded Van SAINT in its edi-
torial columns for the stand he took
in regard to the merger, and, in sea-
son and out of season, has been
SITOuSly uOSIll0 U Tic dhli-lhCi SSi
peaple. OF course, being owned by
James J. Hill, the Globe could do moth
ing less than sustain the merger, but
either it is insincere in supporting
johnson in his feeble imitation OF Gov
ernor Van SAINT OF. else it knows that
Johnson is insincere in the attitude
which he assumes upon this question.
That John "A. Johnson is not sincere
in the professions he now makes re-
garding the railroad merger is evil
denced by the fact that in his news
paper, the st. Peter Herald, prior to
the time he was mentioned as Demo
cratic candidate for governor, he con-
tended strongly against the anti
merger action by the state, and at
tackled Governor Van SAINT for caus-
ing suit to be brought against the
merger in the most bitter terms.
This, no doubt, is the secret of the
strong support he is now receiving
from James ]. Hills newspaper, the
st. Paul Globe.

STORM DID MUCH DAMAGE.

In addition to the loss of one life

More than half of that amount was
done to manufacturing plants, the re

Mayor Harrison's Action.
He declared the action of Mayor
Harrison in ousting the strike break
ers from the housing rooms in the
packing plants means quicker success
to the strikers. Not since the strike
began has President DonneIIy seemed
so hopeful He criticised the action
of the teamsters in sending a commit.
tee into the yards yesterday to make
an investigation.
II don't see what the teamsters ex-
pected to do" he said. IF they don't
like this strike, let them go back to
work"
On the subject of action by the Fed
GRAFTON of Labor Donnelly was silent
He simply declared the report would
prove a sensation.
"A national election is coming on"
said President Donnelly. "The labor
vote is too powerful to be ignored. AS
soon as l have seen Schmidt in Kan
sas City, l shall go to indianapolis.
While l am away I expect to make
several speeches."
"The mayors action in declaring
that the packers shall no longer house
their strike breakers is the hardest
blow our foe had received" said Pres.
ident Donnelly. The packers will
have no trouble getting the breakers
out of the plants and out Of the yards
We will help them to do that if they
need any help, and will see that the
outgoing crowds are not hurt But
as sure as the sun rises, the strike
breakers will not be able to get back
to their places of work"
