Life Imprisonment and Hanging.

Many people are discussing the ques-
ton whether district judge has the
right of sentencing a man, convicted of
murder in the first degree, to life i'm
prisonment, instead of death. The stat
ute on the subject reads as follows:
Murder in the first degree is punishable
by death, provided that if in any such
case, the court shall certify by record
its opinion that by reason of exception
al circumstances, the case is not one in
which the penalty of death should be
imposed, the punishment shall be i'm
prisonment for life in the state prison. y
During Judge Severance's incumbency he
sentenced to life imprisonment one man
who had been found guilty by jury
of murder in the first degree. The evil
Hdence in the case clearly established the
fact that the culprit was very much I'M
der the influence of liquor when he. COM
mitted the crime.

Incompetence, INSTRUMENTATION or immor-
lality. The reasons for discharge must
be filed and the man discharged has a
right to hearing on the charges made.
Such a system will discourage employ
ices from mixing in politics, which in
the past they have felt compelled to do.
From this beginning it is to be hoped
that civil-service principles will be ex-
tended to other departments of the
state government. There is less mr.
gent call for it in the grain department,
because this service is constantly on
trial before critical public of grain
dealers and incompetence would be dis
astrous. Civil-service rules there, how
ever, would protect employees from any
necessity of making good lin a politi-
cal way. The boiler inspectors and oil
inspectors ought also to be subjected to
some examination as to their, fitness.

The Waseca Shops.

Referring to the newspaper talk that
the shops are going to be removed from
Waseca, The Journal-Radical says:
"These removal stories usually orig
mate in Mankato, but somebody over
in Owatonna had pipe dream the other
day and stole a march on the Mankato
fellows by announcing that the shops
had been condemned by the fire commits
sioner and must be rebuilt, and on this
account the company was considering
the project of changing the division
point to some other city, all of which is
news in the Chicago & Northwestern
circles in this city and we doubt not is
news to the company as well.
GA visit to the shops will prove to
any fair minded man the falsity of
these removal tales. Foreman Tisdale
informs us that right at the present
time the company is expanding large
sum of money in improvements in and
doOuI lhe shoPS, anu pldHS nave oeeH APP
proved for substantial additions soon
to be erected. If the company contem-
plated a change it would not be ex-
pending thousands of dollars in i'm
lprovements."
All of Waseca sits up nights keeping
a close watch over those shops for fear
that some other town will swoop down
on the outfit, gobble up and make off
with it. Should the shops be removed
the company would not locate them in
Owatonna. Mankato is the proper place
for them.

Young Harriman,s Failure.

Herbert N. Hartman, cousin of the
railway magnate, and himself holder
of railroad stock, has ended an unsuc-
cessful attempt to learn practical rail.
reading "from the ground up"
He left his post in the general audit
ing office of the Union Pacific at Oma-
ha, after six months stay, having
failed, his superiors say, to show him
self to be able to learn how to add a
column of figures.
That his success has not been greater
is not due to any lack of determination,
his superiors say, but he has too long
been accustomed to the pleasures and
frivolities of life to grasp commonplace
details.
Had the young man been born amid
the rocky hills of adversely instead of
in the lap of luxury, he might have been
given the right kind of start in life,
and perhaps would not have encounter
ed any obstacles in grasping with the
problems of arithmetic addition, sub
traction, etc. Pity the boy VINO is born
amid the corupting influences of
wealth.

The American Economist says that
sit would seem that in the west the
rage for tariff tinkering has greatly
subsidized. Immediately following the
extraordinary victory of November 8,
1904, which would naturally have been
construed as an overwhelming triumph
of republican policies, there was mani
Tested strange propensity for unset
Ting the most important among those
policies. AS The Chicago Tribune put
it, Something must be done to the tar
iff." Nobody was prepared to say ex-
actly what should be done. Even the
Tribune declined to enter into partic-
ulars, but contented itself with demand
ing immediate downward revision. This
cry was taken up by remarkably
large number of republican newspapers,
and for time tariff agitation was their
principal theme. But the agitation was
mostly confined to newspaper columns.
The people generally did not take part
in it. The subject Of railroad rate reg
ulation came up just in time to give
the newspapers something else to agi-

tate, and tariff revision ceased to be a
burning question"
The Economist is hardly in position
to judge of the sentiment toward the
question of tariff revision in the west.
That periodical is maintained solely by
the men who believe in the ultra pro
tective policy and their views are gaug-
ed wholly by the extraordinary benefit
which they receive from the schedules
as set forth in the Dingley tariff meas
ure. There is as much of a sentiment
prevailing in the west in favor of a safe
and sane revision of the tariff as there
ever was, and the fact that the people
are not discussing the question at the
present time with as much viyor Us
they did few months ago, is no. an
evidence that they have changed theil
minds. u

Muskrats a Dainty Dish.

Muskrats furnished dainty meal for
500 guests at feast recently held at
Monroe, Mich. "What to Eat" pub
LEGATION devoted to the culinary art
tells the story of the great banquet. In
all, $500 rats were partaken of, and
everybody present appeared to enjoy the
meal. Statesmen, lawyers, doctors and
men of all professions were included in
the list of attendants and the relish
with which the rodents were devonred
should forever set at rest the claim that
the muskrat should not be numbered
among the things that are good to eat
Former Lieutenant Governor John
Strong was present and should have
been awarded the prize for eating the
greatest number of the roasted rats
He said he never ate anything that tast-
ed better and it is partially at his sug-
gestion that the feast is to be repeated
at Monroe again next year. All the
officials of the town honored the occa-
sion with their presence, and dignitaries
were there from towns and cities as far
away as Toledo, Ohio. From the latter
city came Frank Wade, the bosom
friend of the late Golden Rule" Jones
whom he says, taught him to eat musk
rats. No kind of meat was served ex-
cepting muskrats, and aside from the
eating, the principal diversion consisted
in speechmaking and listening to ora
tions in praise of tine toothsome "onda-
ira zibethicus.."
While the guests were principally pro-
fessional men most of them were more
or less interested in yachting and it was
yachtsmen who devised and successfully
carried out the novel feast. The oc-
casion was under the auspices of the
Monroe Yacht club, which boasts among
its members some of the most noted OF
Michigan's lawyers and doctors. w. b
Sterling, Commodore of the club, H. A.
Conant, Charles Greening and Edward
Wilder constituted the committee that
had direct supervision over the festivi-
| ties.

val" were begun weeks in advance

for, but the number obtained lacked 2OC

Worsted By a Woman.

Miss Anna B. Miller of Philadelphia,
has just given her sisters in that slow
going town an exhibition of the siren
uous life, and has demonstrated very
clearly that women are possessed of
force and energy that would put some
men to shame. Miss Miller was de-
posed as supervising principal of
Rhoades school, and she has just been
awarded verdict of $4,000 against DIR.
Charles H. Harvey, formerly presi-
dent of the Thirty fourth Sectional
school board. Miss Miller sued for $780,
600, and in the case, which lasted five
days, she was her own lawyer. Miss
Miller was discharged from her position
on charges based on letters alleged to
have been written by her to teacher
in her school, and on affidavits alleged
to have been made by the teacher in
which many misdeeds were charged to
Miss Miller. Her contention was that
DIR. Harvey and others conspired to de-
prive her of her position, and she denied
having written the letters. No lawyer
would take Miss Miller's case, so she
put in two years in the study of law to
fit herself to conduct it. She has not
been admitted to the bar, but says if
the defendant appeals she will study
further to meet MS lawyers on their
own ground.

An important Enactment.

The Minneapolis Journal calls atten-
ton to one of the important acts of the
legislature. 1t is the law placing the
inspectors of the dairy and food depart
ment on a civilservice basis.
The act was purposely drawn so as
not to interfere with the staff during
the present administration, but begin
ming with 1907 no one may be appoint
ed inspectors except from list of per-
sons who have passed an examination
set by the board organized for that pur-
pose. Once appointed, inspectors may
only be removed for cause.
The board is to consist of the dairy
and food commissioner, the attorney
general, and tine dean of the state ag-
ricultural college. 1t must hold an ex-
animation every year, and oftener if
necessary, and applicants remain eligible
for year after passing the examina-
ton.
Inc dairy ana 1000 department is an
excellent place to start the civil service
movement. Proper inspection of cream
cries, dairy barns and the food supply
in general is of the highest Importance
to every citizen of the state. As long
as appointments are made on a political
basis, the best service cannot be OBJ
tanned. No matter how honest and
Jealous the inspectors may be, some OF
them will lack the knowledge and ex-
perience necessary to efficiency. The
most important provision of the law is
that protecting inspectors from dis.
charge for political reasons, and putting
them on tneir good behavior, discharge
being only possible for neglect of duty

Eye Diseases of Cattle.

Attention has been called to the ex-
istence of disease affecting the eyes
of cattle, and in the interest of readers
"a little information upon the subject
may be of value. The affection seems
to attack in rapid succession a num-
Der of animals upon the farm. The
first symptoms noticed are very severe
form of inflammation of the eye. After
the first symptoms are seen there rap
idly follows more alarming symptoms.
The tears give way to pus which col
lects on the inside corner of the eye,
glueing the eyelids together. If the
eyelids are separated the eyeball is seen
to be intensely red and covered with
pus. In short time the color of the
eyeball changes to white and looks as
though a growth of skin covered the
eye. AS the whiteness of the eyeball
increases it is seen to be more prominent
and has on its surface small ulcers, or
raw spots. When in this condition it is
questionable if the eye sight will ever
be restored. The treatment consists in
keeping affected cattle in darkened
barns, away from healthy stock. Each
animal should be given tablespoonful
of saltpeter in the drinking water, and
the eyes bathed with cold water several
times a day and solution of boracic
acid, tone-half ounce to the pint of
water), dropped into tine eye at least
three times a day. Should ulcers APP
pear they should be treated with solu-
ton of nitrate of silver applied with a
feather or soft brush. 4.
The disease is quite infectious and
spreads very rapidly, affecting both
young and old cattle. Its manner of
spread is not as yet known and may be
brought about through drinking from
the same trough, the germ being taken
up with the drinking water; or, again,
it is possible it may float in the air.
This latter theory is questionable as
only one farm in neighborhood may
be infected
1t is said that one attack immunes
the animal against subsequent infection.

The UncIean Money.

Comments of clergymen on whether
Deacon Rockefeler's gold is fit for the
contribution box are decidedly interest
ing. Some of the disciples of the church
are outspoken in their belief that mis-
cash should not be accepted, while 9th
ers are willing to take it, resting con-
tent that the money no matter by what
means-legal or otherwise-it was OBJ
tanned can be put to good use, and pos
sibly rescue from the pit lot of sin
ners; or it can be forwarded to the land
of the heathens where all money looks
alike.
Among the clergymen who regard the
acceptance of the oil kings dollars as a
bad thing, is Rev. A. c. Dixon, pastor
of Ruggles Street Baptist church, Bos-
ton, who recently declared that he
doubted whether the money has been
on the whole, blessing to the Baptist
denomination. "The millions invested in
the University of Chicago, have, in my
humble judgment so far done more harm
than good Under the leadership of a
prince of organizers and money raisers
the university has striven to do for ed
ucation what MIR. Rockefeller did for oil,
by swallowing everything educational
and making sort of syndicate of faith
and unbelief"
I'm the early years, when Mr.. Rock
efeller was laying the foundation of his
great fortune" said Rev. Dixon, though
he did not violate the law of the land,
he did violate the higher law of the
golden rule, and brought financial ruin
to men and women, who claimed that it
was done by unfair, if not by fraudu-
lent means.
Now, Mr.. Rockefeller, will you not do
the generous, honorable and righteous
thing by making restitution so far as
possible? Such course would do more
for Christ and the church you love than
the gift of millions to good causes. You
can find people or their heirs whose
business you killed because they would
not surrender. Now that the war is
over and you are victorious, will you
not indemnify them for their losses I?
You can do it, and still be the richest
man in the world"
Rev. Artemus j. Haynes, pastor of
the United Congregational church of
New Haven, preached sermon on the
Rockefeller gift and criticised in the
sharpest terms the action and words
of the prudential committee of the
American Board Of Foreign Missions as
indicating in mis- opinion, shameful eva
sion of Christian duty" The finding of

the committee he characterized as a
document which might have been pre-
pared by corporation lawyer, filled
with sophistry, evasions, excuses and
legal bubbles, and not one sentence
from beginning to end ringing true"
Rev.. George f. Pentacost says there
is such thing as dirty money. "There
is moral quality in money. Every
man who takes money from his neigh
Dor without equivalent is betraying his
master. The richest man in the world
is said to have from five hundred to one
thousand millions. He has given in char
ity $2s,0O0,OOO. l tell you it is no more
for that particular gentleman to have
given that enormous sum than it would
be for the man with an income of $1,000
a year to give cents year. 1t is a
mere paltry excuse. There is such a
thing as dirty money.
"Just after the election of Van Wyck,
as mayor a letter was sent from Tam
many Hall to all the churches announc-
ing there was 100000 left in their cam
paign fund and asking now much each
clergyman could use of it for charity.
Every Protestant church refused the Of
fer. For to accept money is to con-
done the methods by which it is acquir-
ed, and whether we take money from
Rockefeller or anyone else, we by so do
ing become particeps criminis in his do
ings."
Too many people are prone to gloss
over the faults and short -comings of
those whose pockets are lined with rich
es. The acceptance of unclean money by
the churches is but an act of encourage
ment to those who gain their wealth by
who believe in right living and who
have wholesome respect for all moral
laws should raise protest against the
practice of churches receiving contribu
tions from those millionaires who have
accumulated their wealth at tne expense
of the people. 1t is up to the churches
to get out from under the domination
of the moneyed aristocracy and get
closer to the souls of the people. Rich
furnishings in the sacred edifices look
very brilliant under the bright incandes-
cent, but they don't appeal strongly to
the heart of the man who carries the
dinner pail. Riches are not everything.
This precept should be inculcated deeply
into the minds of those who are now
growing up and soon will take their
places in the professional and business
world 4
