Without the right to make laws or
repeal them, We find majority of q
people unable to secure needed re-
forms. Direct legislation is the hope
of the republic. Direct nomina atoms,
secured by independent agitation, have
smashed the old county rings and
party machines. Direct legislation
would be . body blow at party pre-.
judice, the worst foe of free institu.
lions. Campaigns under direct legis.
lation would center around ideas and
issues instead of about parties.

successfully the professions they have
selected, but because they have crowd

demand for their services, and because
there are great opportunities awaiting
them at the carpenters bench and in
all IN the learned professions by any
means. They are digging Panama
canals, managing great factories,
building systems Of railroads and do.

salaries, while the incompetents and

1,quiry - to how the much heralded
reduction Of grain rates on the Great
Northern will affect local conditions
reveals the fact that the reduction on
the rate from Willmar amounts to
Ono-third of . cent on 4 bushol OF
wheat or fax and one-haf of . cent
on . bushel of oats. The reduction
will take effect on the first day of Sep
tember, but it 10 safe to say that none

DEMAND FOR skILlEo LABoRgRs. !
Reports show a dearth of skilled
workmea everywhere in all branches
of the mechanical trades. There are
plenty of men who think they are car
penters, for instance, and who demand
masters wages, but whose expert
81 ce is limited to saving off boards
and driving nails. The same can be
said of other trades. The boys no
longer learn trades. = They prefer
working behind a counter or pound
ing . typewriter.
The boy of today seems DESTROYS,
first of all things, to pursue some cal
ling where the work is light and where
he can wear his good clothes every
day In the week. He seems to- think
that it he puts on working clothes he
is degrading himself, and he will work
rs clerk or In some Office for q mere
pittance rather than master the in
tricacies of q trade and become q
skilled mechanic. Hence there is q
crying dtmand for skilled carpenters,

herself. Her latest distinction is in
large and finely illustrated history OF
the county, one worthy of q county of
Kandiyohi's splendid achievements.
The subj ct matter of the history is
complete, and has been compiled aud
arranged with care; the Illustrations
are Of the very best half-tone work,
are numerous and contribute much to
the interest of the work, and the ma
terial, letter press and mechanical
makeup of the volume is of the high.
est quality suitable for such work.
The history will be found to have an
interest for people far beyond the bor-
ders of the county. It contains much
of value to all Minnesotans. For ex-
ample, there are several chapters de-
voted to the Indian massacre of 1862.
The story of the bloody conflict of the
almost deteDseless settlers on the from
tiers, "a told in this new history of
Kandiyohi county 10 graphic, and in
places even thrilling, and shows the
devilish barbarity with which the In
dams sought to drive the whites from
the newly settled territory. For in
stance, take the following brief extract
from the narrative of the flight of q
party from Green Lake, in the ,ur.e
of which one Lorentson and oompan-
ion named Backlund were killed:
"Afterward they 1.-THE Indians J, took
the skin from the entire face and from
part of Loren,son's head, including
both ears. Then they cut the heads
off both corpses and set them up with
their hats on. Mr.. Baklund's right
hand was cut of and between the
thumb and forefinger was placed
pinch of snuff while his snuff box was
set near his face. Pr0pping up the
discovered members so as to retain
these positions, the savages left them"
The aim of the history, however, has
not been to pick out sensational fea-
lures, but, as the compilers say, "to
present q clear and faithful picture of
conditions past and present, without
exaggeration or extenuation. AS =
part of such purpose the compilers
have given an unusually interesting
bit Of historical information as to the
once much agitated capitol removal.
It seems that the removal scheme was
born in 1856 and not in 1858, the year
Of the admission of the state. In 1855
Minneapolis people organized : q
"Kandiy chi Townsite company" plat-
ted the city Of K andiyohi, staked out
capitol square" and attempted t,
create . sentiment for building capt.
toll in the agricultural regions to the
west, a. Iowa and Wisconsin had a.
ready done. Another chapter on
1.-THE Capitol Lands" reviews in de-.
tail the controversies resulting from
this question. s.. @ ~.
A department of "reminiscences of
early settlers was the result of a. hap
py thought and will be found OF gre at
interest and value. =. -, !. = ! i
The general review of the county 8
history has not been allowed to over
shadow the interest IN the different
sections: each township and village
and the county seat, WilImar, are
given ample space for detailed set
ting forth of their past and present. a
The history, therefore, is one over
which proud county may we'll feel
pleased, and one which publishers
