howl around the family camp when their
parent came home, tired and dry.
"What is the matter, children?" asked
the fond father.
1.-THE American 'extry' says the presi-

us up. Hadn't we better mover"
mo hurry about that, the senate
couldn't get here inside of six months,
under the rules"
The next day when Father Wolf came
home, the young people again met him
in tears and said, 1.-THE World reports that
the president has ordered the army here
to clean us out. Isn't It, time to go
south?"
"Never mind, children, the order is not
effective until it has run the gamut OF

Mr.. Rogers, who is Rockefeller g right

the whole case when he says that the
Standard Oil company dealt in rebates
SO long as there were no laws TO pre-
vent such traffic. There is no pretense
that Mr.. Rockefeller had any moral
right to not only a lower rate on his
shipments than his competitors, but a
bonus upon the oil shipped by those
competitors. Such acts were never
open, fair, or decent, law or no law, ana
it is this money made by these methods
that the American Board is sending to
the heather. It may not do them any
harm, nobody pretends that it will, but
it will surely raise up a band Of heather

'Under Metcaf administration for part Of year.
Estate pays balance Of Judges salaries
O. Two years ago, when the county en-
ployees were lobbying before the Henne-
pin delegation in the legislature. pleading
for increased pay, they based their appli-
cation on the claim that the county would
really profit by it in the end, for the clerks
would work so much harder that there
would be little expended for extra help"
in the county offices. The taxpayers have
now had two years experience with the
increased payroll, and the results show
that the county paid out in 1904 some s23,-
S17.2S more than it did in 1900, before the
legislature boosted the salary list. That
Is to say, the expense for salaries has
been nearly $4,000 a month greater and
just that much more for the taxpayers
to provide 1t now costs the people who
pay the taxes S632.63 a day, for every
working day in the year, just to pay The
salaries Of those employed by Hennepin

For instance, the cost Of running the Of
fee Of clerk of the district court, it ~
said, was the largest last year in its his
tory. That may be surprise to some.
for, altho the charges for doing business
in that office were very much increased
by the last legislature, still the total cost

i by fees That office has since been placed
on a salary basis, but instead OF costing
less to run it, the office seems to have.

under the old fee system. OF course, un-;
der the present plan, the county does re-.

labor of love and as she has always been

Nature Will Help Some.

Often it occurs to one, in this day:
of big trusts and combinations, that
monopoly will some day grip the peo-
pie so tight that there will have to be
an overturning Of things commercial
to bring about justice to all. This is
especially likely to enter the mind
when one stops to consider that in al
most every line Of industry there is
now a combination, and that on every
article Of food or of household use the
consumer pays tribute to some :" q trust
baron '''.:of the day. Always there is
the consoling thought that the law is
there and that matters can never reach
the point Of depressing the people, for
theirs is the power to legislate for their
own protection.
There is another consideration In
this connection no less important-the
fact that nature is on the side Of the
people. The resources of Mother Earth
are so great that man cannot estimate
them, and from time. to time there come
reports of new developments or new
discoveries that make it harder for
any man or combination Of men to con-
| troll the supply of any. commodity or
| manufac tured ARTICLE. OF all trusts, the
Standard Oil company has been the
most strongly intrenched and has come
closest to absolute monopoly. Late re.
ports, however, show that the oil
barons'' are becoming disturbed over
the heavy production of petroleum in
our country, and. also in Europe. Al
Prices of oil haveNbeen lower Of late

Electing City Officials.

The Hennepin delegation has on the
stocks bill to put certain city off,
Gals on an elective basis. Among these
officials are the city attorney, &; city q: y:
clerk; city assessor, clerk Of the 8munici-
/ Pal court and city engineer. = There is
said to be some politics. in the bill, but
/ it may have merits or dement's outside
Of that. There is certain propriety,
especially In Tie city Of Minneapolis,
in making the city attorney RESPONSE
BILE to the people. The people are just
as capable Of selecting proper city
attorney as the aldermen. The people
select the county attorney and they
select the Judges, but they do not select
the city attorney. This power, placed
In the hands Of the council, has ten.
agdency to make the attorney of the city
{ the servant Of the, council rather than
{ the responsible servant Of the people.
The city has had several very able and
conscientious attorneys even under the
present system. No reflection upon the
past or present need be inferred if the
people do now express desire to be
closer to the city attorneys mind on
certain great questions where his advice
is all-important. ,
The Journal, however, dissents
h from the proposition that the primary
system can successfully cope with the
! problem Of selecting a city engineer.
The best engineers are not the best
politicians, while the best attorneys
3 may also be able to give very good
4 account Of themselves in campaign.
L II would be almost 1impossiblesto select
city engineer in that way; and even
if it could be done, it would be wrong
to draw the office into politics any more
than it is at present. If the delegation

be advisable to gosslowly and cautious
