TOOL FOR OPENING RUNWAY.

an iron point A bar is attached about
fifteen inches from the point to enable
the operator to use his foot in press
ing it into the soil. 1t is only neces-
sary to find the runway of the go
pher. The handle is sufficiently thick
to make a hole large enough to per-
nit one to drop the poisoned potato

ing the hole open.
1t might be well not to let swine
run in the alfalfa fields for a time after
the poison has been put out.

as is shown bv the following
editorial recently appearing, in
that paper. TheTelegram says:
THEY SHOULDN RUN AWAY
Editor Jones over at Washburn,
has been making a fight against
the local electric company for
cheaper lights for the city, and
as a result the electric company
and all of it's friends are after
his scalp, both as postmaster and
in every other way.
Mr.. Jones knew how much a
fight he had to com mence with,
and from what we know of him
we are satisfied that he will whip
the other crowd TO a finish. In
the meantime Mr.. Jones should
not feel badly if things do not
come very easily. There are al
waysa lot of people who are push
ing a newspaper to do just such
things as Mr.. Jones has done in
Washburn, and as soon as the
fight begins they run away.
Mr.. Jones is probably old
enough in the business to have
known this from the start, SO he
is not disappointed.

that he went to war with Japan,

JUDGE PARKER RISES TO KICK,


was-and still is, Alton B. Park
er. Judge Parker is most esti-
mable gentleman, and one of
great dignity-so much dignity,
in fact, that the American people
have judged him to be ''stiff. =
The Judge has said a good many
good things though, in his life
time, and he discusses the policy
of the big insurance companies
contributing of their funds to tbs
national political campaigns.
Vice President George W. Per
kins, of the New York Life, has
admitted to a Legislative investl.
eating committee of the state of
New York, that his company gave
$50, 900 to the national repu blican
mittee in the las t campaign.
That money was likely used to
help defeat Judge Parker-al-
though he could have been snow
ed under without cent of re-
publican money going into the
campaign. But Parker does not
approve of the use of the money,
either on moral grounds, or to
''soak" him with, and he makes
remonstrance that will meet
with the approval of policy-hold-
ers all over the country.
Judge Parker said:
Eyes, I believe I ought to say,
now that there is no political ex-
element to distract the public
attention, that the president Of
the New York Life was not the
only such contributor. The
officers of other great life insur-
ance com panies, such as the
Equitable and the Mutual also
contributed from the policy hold
ers' funds for campaign pur-
poses last year.
"Were there an investigation
of railroad. manufacturing and
other corporations it would be
found that these as we'll as life in
surance officers put their hands
into the treasury and took out
mon eys belonging to widows and
orphans to help secure a partisan
triumph.
'sThat their acts were unlawful
and their purposes corrupt goes
without saying. They intended
to have the money used, as it was,
in corrupting the electorate.
''The officers responsible for
these raids upon the treasures
of corporations have received
their reward in unfettered man
agementof life insurance corpor-
atoms; in unem barrassed raids
upon the public through trusts,
condemned by both common and
statute law; in refusal to punish
criminally the officers of railroad
and other corporations violating
tue laws, and in statutory per-
mission to manufacturing COR
porations to levy tribute on the
people.
"There can be no hope of
checking the unlawful aggres-
sions of officers Of great corpora
tions so long as they may thus
form quasi partnership with
the organization of the dominant
political party,
"There is, however, something
worse. if possible, Than the es-
cape of such officers from JUS
tice. tits the gradual demoral-
ization Of voters and the dulling
of the public conscience caused
by the effect to make these
vast sums of money procure the
ballots they were intended to
procure, corruptly and other
wise. =

Some needed improvements are con-
templated in the basement of the CITY
building. in the way of providing a room
for the janitor. The quarters which
are at present occupied by Mr.. Fisher.
is the little room adjacent to the mu-
nicipal court room, and which was
formerly used as a consultation room.
This room is occupied in common by
the ianitor and the superintendent OF
schools. and it is a source OF neon
yenience to both. To do away with
this, it is contemplated by the COM
mittee on city buildings. to erect
partition across the municipal court
room, midway between the double
doors leading to that room. and having
the doors set at an angle, so that one
will open into the court room, anu
the other into the new room which the
building of the partition would create.
This arrangement would allow one
window in the new room, and the room
would be large enough for the pur-
nose for which it was intended. 1t Is
not understood that the matter mas
been wholly decided upon. but IL Is
thought that the room VIII be built.
