one of the best known newspaper men
in Minnesota, was yesterday selected
by Governor Johnson as his executive
clerk, to succeed Cleve w. Van Dyke
of Alexandria, who resigns to enter
business 5,-~
The resignation of Mr.. Van Dyke
comes as a surprise, but is the result Of
a business deal that has been pending
for some weeks. He has accepted a
tiattering offer to assume the general
management of the Warren Developing
company, owners of the townsite Of
Bisbee, Ariz. He will continue to spend
much Of his time in Minnesota. One
of the leading democrats of the younger
and radical school in Minnesota, he has
been an important factor in the state
administration. He served several
terms as county superintendent of Doug
las county, being elected against a
heavy republican majority, and last
year made a lively campaign as the
democratic nominee for congress in the

was done and the true facts presented

Recently Mr.. Van Dyke took an ex-

The result of this trip is that Mr.. Van

Big Railroad Taxes Coming.

will be paid<i the first two months Of
next year, will exceed $4,000, ,000. The

tion, state officials do not expect the

An emperor or a king has his sub

THE Missouri State Republican
gives an instance where inter-
state commerce regulation doesn't
work so we'll:
Under its provisions a maximum
rate was fixed governing the ship
ment of lime by rail. 1t cannot
now be transported for less than a
certain tariff. Before this law be-
came operative the Missouri Pacif-
ic shipped large quantities OF lime
from Glencoe, neal st. Louis, over
its Iron Mountain line to Texas
points, at a low rate. Why? Be-
cause going south the company
preferred to haul its cars with lime
or any other shipment rather than
transport them empty. Experience
had shown that cars suffer more
from wear and tear, with nothing
to steady them, than when loaded
down. Consequently the company
not only saved this loss from wear
and tear but profited by the addi-
tional revenue, however low the
rate. incidentally the lime indus
try profited also. But since the
commission fixed a maximum rate,
these shipments have ceased, and
therefore instead of preventing the
railroad company from discrimi-
mating against other articles offer
ed for shipment, the Interstate
Commerce Commission actually
Disseminated against both the
lime industry and the railroad, in
this case.

IT'S the basest ingratitude in
Gov. Folk to proclaim a distrust of
the ability and desire of the people
and officials of Mississippi county
to uphold the law. That county
was wild for the fake Reformer, in
his behalf splitting upon and revil-
ing the then State administration
because it refused to fall down be-
fore and worship the new god.
Surely, if any people are to be
trusted to uphold the right and
crush out evil, faith must be given
to those in the ranks of the right
eous. At least, that's the way an
unregenerate sinner argues. But
Folk, the immaculate, doesn't see
it that way. He sends his Repub-
lican Acknowledgement down into
the lowlands to stir up the "moss-
backs and coerce their local SER
wants into upholding the law and
the dignity Of the State. They
were all right when Folk the can
didare wanted their votes, but to
Folk the Governor they are not
good citizens, and he haunts in
their faces his distrust of their will
to do their plain duty. No doubt
the desire to vaunt himself before
the world is the prime cause of his
action in the premises, but ingrat-
itude attaches to it all the same.
He who seeks profit and advance
ment by setting up the weaknesses
and shortcomings of his neighbors
is no. admirable in character. The

mer insultingly inscribed on it's
