Gibraltar IN Modern Warfare.-The re-

question as to Gibraltar's real effective

The possibility Of the Rock batteries with
their powerful ordnance and high-angle guns,
controlling effectively the fourteen miles Of wa

open question It is true that new guns Of
the most effective design have recently been
mounted on her highest batteries, and no one
who has seen target practice from the Rock

of these larger ones. None but the highest and
most trusted officers definitely know their range,

Some time ago The Minneapolis Journal
suggested that the watchword for every
commercial organization in our state for
the next six months should be 1.-TWO MIL
lion people for Minnesota in 1906" While
the doubling OF the population of the state
in one year would, in some respects, tax
the assimilating abilities Of the state, the
idea involved is well worth considering.
The arrival Of new settlers in commu-
nifty always has an enlivening influence,
resulting in increased production and an
increase Of business. Minnesota's land
boom Is by no means a thing of the past
The more extensive land dealers of the
state are using page after page of the
twin cities big dailies to set forth the
states natural resources, and it pays. We
have an abundance Of fertile lands living
round about us that could be placed on
the market. There Is money In 1t for the
man who will properly advertise them
Twin Valley Times.
There is nothing impossible about that
two million slogan, considering that In 1900
the government census gave Minnesota g
population Of 1,751,394. An increase Of
250,0O0 in five years is not only possible
/ but it has been achieved before in ar
equal period Of the states history. AS
the Twin Valley editor says, there is ali
abundance of good land in the state wait
ing for the market, or rather, waiting FOL

attention Of the homeseeker in the prope,

LECTURES ON CORN
Prominent Feature in Farmers Short
Course Beginning To-day.

The short course in agriculture at tho
Minnesota school of Agriculture
opened this morning with an attendance
Of over fifty at the opening lecture by
G. P. Bull on corn Judging. In this
lecture the card method of scoring was
explained and following the lecture
each student was given a sample of corn
to score. Today and tomorrow will be
devoted to lecture and practical grain
Judging. This will be followed by two
days work in judging dairy stock and
the whole Of next week will be given to
judging livestock.
Many students wish only the work in
Judging and this is all put into the first
two weeks in order that those who can
not attend the whole course may take
this work without loss Of time. The
complete short course occupies eight
weeks and takes up in a practical way
agricultural chemistry, horticulture, ag-
riculture, entomology, poultry, botany,
dairying, veterinary work, farm ma
chinery, farm accounts and par
Elementary law. Lectures are Civ
en- in these subjects and test
work wherever possible. This is
the fourth year the course has been
given and the. attendance and interest
grows each year. ..

The Beef Trust Case.

Attorney General Moody turned the
tables on the beef-trust people very
neatly and effectively yesterday in his
argument before the United States su-
preme court. The attorneys for the
trust could not refute the charges that
agreements were in existence govern
ing both the purchase Of livestock and
the sale Of dressed meats. What they
were forced to rely upon was the con-
tention that their clients were not en-
gagged in interstate commerce. They
sought to make it appear that their
purchases and sales were made in the
same state and, therefore, must be re-
rarded as intra and not interstate com
meree, and, therefore, not subject to
the laws prohibiting combinations for
the restraint Of Interstate commerce.
But it appears that heretofore, under
different circumstances, and for special
reasons, the defendants had desired the
protection of the national law, had
represented their traffic as interstate
commerce and had been sustained in
that view by the supreme court, before
which they were now trying to estab
lish the contrary.
The attorney general is credited with
having made very strong presentation
of the government s case, and perma
nent injunction dissolving the trust il
expected.
But suppose it is granted-wha1
then7 Will the breaking up of secret
agreements afford substantial relief t.
the consumersa That remains to- b
seen; but our notion is that it woult
be more effective if the offenders were
punished as the law provides, by: heavy
fines or Imprisonment, or both. Some
doubt is expressed as to whether the
government will proceed at this time
to that extremity'if it succeeds in i'm
posing permanent injunction. The
packers will have another chance to bt
good, probably.

Henry Travers is well-trained incident
to the skit. The story turns on the

his antics while enjoying himself in the

the funniest thing seen in Minneapolis
this year. Good laughs are too few to
be missed, and this act is one Of them.
Frank and Little Bob, assisted by the
acrobatic dog, ''Tip,'' give an interesting
bit OF bar and ring work. Some of
Franks work on the bar being Of a
nature to cause one to doubt ones eyes.

Mr. Lawson Purdy's plan to raise
state taxation by assessing percent
age of the amount raised by local tax
alton, is said to be working well in Ore
gon, and possibly would work in Min
nesota, tho one can see difficulties in
the way of establishing it. For ex-
ample, Minneapolis raises nearly four
million dollars for all purposes annu-
ally, and presumably would be called
upon to pay the state a percentage on
this amount equal to the percentage paid
by any other county. But a good deal
of the tax raised in Minneapolis, which
for the purpose of discussing taxation
means Hennepin county, is paid over
to creditors of the city in interest on
bonds and into a sinking fund to pay
off the citv's bonds. It is question
whether Minneapolis would enjoy the
idea Of paying to the state a percent
age upon what it already owes.
It would certainly put Minneapolis
at a disadvantage with counties that
have no bonded debt which would pay
to the state merely percentage upon
what they were raising for actual ex
penses. In the case Of counties having
a large bonded debt and paying annu
ally, as Hennepin county does. abou,
half million dollars for IN
terest, such a scheme of taxation woulc
actually be like raising the rate Of in
terest. Of course it would be matter
of no practical Importance if all thu
counties had public debts bearing
similar relation to their assessed valua
ton, but this is not true. sy

A Governor Indicts His State.

Retiring Governor Durbin if Indi-
ana, in his farewell message, spoke bit
terly and pointedly about political cor
ruption in the state: If he is to be
believed, Indiana has no call to look
down upon those southern states which
merely suppress votes, for it cannot
be so grave a crime against the coun-
try to merely stop man from exercis-
ing his right as it is to make mock
cry of that right by barter and sale
He stated on authority that in one
county in Indiana, casting little more
than five thousand votes, about twelve
hundred were regularly listed as pur
chasable, and that in the last cam
paign the contending parties appropri
ated $4,000, raised by the assessment
of candidates, to carry this county.
In other parts Of the state, he. was
informed, votes had been bought al
from 500 to $50 each. He made the
broad statement that corruption Of the
electoratee had proceeded so far in In
diana that drastic legislation was need
ed to stop it.
Corruption Of the individual electo1
had heretofore been considered to be
sporadic and to be limited to the vena.
classes in the cities; but, with the gov
ernor of an agricultural state as ar
authority, it is impossible to disbelieve
his testimony, especially when a ma
tional party would select such maj
as Taggart Of Indiana as it's chairman
apparently because he knew how tt
"handle' the colored voter in Indian
apolis. .....:.
Indiana has been a battle-ground since
1876. It has occupied the position Of
a pivotal state ever since. Naturally
the corrupting methods of practical pol
itics made their appearance there early
It was the scene of Dudley's 'Fblock

Progress of Municipal Ownership.

It is pointed out, however, that citi-

In Boston the common council has
passed an ordinance for municipal gas

aldermen. If approved by that body
