A New Game Law Wanted

To the Editor of The Journal III.
1t would seem to go without saying that
the operation Of the present game law is
very unsatisfactory. A land owner, if
he have covey Of birds In his fields.
must quit and neglect his harvest to go
and hunt, or some of the village gentry
will clean them out TO rihm If he re-
monstrates abuse and insult are apt to
follow. True, he can, at some labor and
expense, post and maintain notices for
bidding hunting. And when, as Is likely,
his notice is ignored, he can earn public
censure by i inaugurating prosecution,
thereby gettinga bad name.
Ii his farm happens to lie upon both
sides of county line he can pay dollar
license for the privilege of hunting on
his own land. The other day I was
stacking grain on my own land, when 4
trio from a neighboring village flushed a
covey Of chickens and got about half OF
them before. got time to go to them and
FORBID further trespass, and then they
Wcl'ld not leave until I gave my name
and threatened prosecution. They then
with an obscene and insulting invitation
retired. If this law is to remain in force
the policy of the soil tillers is to destroy
! every nest and exterminate, as far as
possible the breeding Of game birds. And
| this Will be the result in the not distant
future. It Is not for the interest Of the
farmer to raise birds from which re gets
no benefit. It seems to me if the legis.
lature would provide that there should
| be TO open season on, and within en-.
closed or cultivated fields at all, excep,
Tor the owner Of the lands or by his ex:
press invitation, nothing but common jus.
tice would be done. Let the non-resi
dent go on to the wild and open lands
and leave the cultivated farms alone.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
For a Square Deal.

To the Edition. Of The Journal. 4 ~
The writer was in the activities of life
when Abraham Lincoln was elected presi-
dent and remembers the effort of our rep
resentative men to make some patch-up
with slavery to avoid the civil war; also
President Lincoln's tender appeal to our
southern brethren to stay their hand.
Z believed then as do now that no
human power could have prevented that
deluge of blood, as apparently 1t was the
only way slavery could be blotted out in
this country.
/ Marvellous no more than describes the
progress Of the country In wealth and
world influence since the close of the
civil war but the labor unrest and vio-
lence in the last few decades would seem
to Indicate that there was something
wrong again with the country. [-s
This enormous wealth is coming more
and more under the control Of few, and
While a large proportion of the trades and
skilled labor are prosperous and accumu-
lating a competency, there are millions
who find life struggle for existence.
The men who, advocate some change
for the betterment of conditions receive
about the same consideration that the
antislavery men did when I was a boy
But we ought to remember that the mills
of the gods grind slowly Unkind words
for the rich or sympathy for the poor
don't seem to meet the case but Presi-
dent Roosevelt's square deal'' does.
1t seems to me that the people of this
country are offered a splendid opportunity
| to recognize the power that has had tc
do with bringing him to the presidency
Hold up his hands and perhaps save this
! nation from again being called upon tc
pay an awful penalty 4. Ia.

THE BEGINNINGS OF ru1ERcuLosls

Late investigations are confirming what
has been long believed to be the fact
That the inhalation of the germs of tuber-
culosis in the form of dust is the most
prolific source of the great white plague
and that the gateway Of entrance to the
lungs is not directly thru the bronchial
tubes but thru the intermediate agency
of the upper air passages-the nose and
the naso-pharynx, and in mouth breath
ers the o-pharynx, with their asso-
ciated glandular tissues known as ade-
noids and tonsils. ~ ---
In normal individuals the membranes
OF the nasal passages are provided with
minute hair-like organs which are in
constant motion and have tendency to
remove small dust particles towards the
external orifices of the noseA and thus
serve so far as possible to protect the
deeper parts Of the body from injury.
The normal nasal membranes also secrete
a large amount of watery fluid which
washes the dust and more or less in
furious matters contained in the inspired
air, into the stomach where they are for
the most part disposed of without injury.
Persons having such normal upper pass
ages are to a great extent immune to the
tubercle germs. ...
Unfortunately there are comparatively
few persons in that condition. With our
vicious inheritance from diseased or over
worked or under-fed or badly-fed an
cestors, most Of us are born with unfor-
tunate predispositions to such condi-
| lions of the upper air passages as render
| them dangerous agencies for the acquisi-
| ton of tuberculosis. When with such
| predispOsition, or even without, children
are exposed to the heated, over dried
| and badly ventilated air, the excessive
| i,,1n 1j~ 1Nfh h mo
and the faulty diet (too much sugar and
starch and too little milk and fat) they
very generally develop conditions in the
nose and throat which favor the infection
Of the individual with the germs Of tuber-
| culosis diphtherta and other infectious
diseases. These conditions generally con-
| sist of excessive growth Of the glandular
| organs known as -pharyngeal and
faucial tonsils and are manifested In the
early life Of the child by the tendency
to mouth breathing, frequent colds and a
| collapsed state Of the nasal openings.
| Such overgrowth Of these organs is ac-
| companied by indammatory changes,
which destroy their ability to serve. as
guardians of the system against infec-
ton and render them favorable culture
beds for disease germs.
It is impossible to overestimate the
Importance of maintaining the upper all
passages in normal condition, and every
| parent should see to it that his children
are guarded as far as possible against
the insanitary influences which cause
| enlarged tonsils and adenoids and on the
first appearance of such growths or the
svnptoms mentioned above - mouth
breathing, colds and collapsed nostrils
the family doctor should at once be con-
suited.

MIR. Iverson S Bargain Sale.

The office of the state auditor is
flooded with inquiries about the fall
sale of state lands. The state legisla-
ture only gave Mr.. Iverson $500 a
year with which to advertise the state
lands and carry on the immigration
work Of the state, but the business
seems to have been conducted with so
much wisdom that great demand has
already been created for these lands.
The opportunities offered to the set
tier are, of course, exceptional. The
terms Of the sale give the buyer forty
years. time, if he desires, in which to
pay for his farm. It requires very lit
tie capital for the purchaser to become
a land owner. .-.. -.-z " J#
This attractive proposition Mr.. liver
son has caused to be made known so
widely that not only is 1t destined to
bring into the state settlers upon these
lands, but to attract general attention
to the advantages of Minnesota for men
Of small capital who wish to engage in
agriculture. It is to be hoped that
the success OF Lne new bureau OF I'LL
migration, with the limited means APP
propriated for this work, will have dem
onstrated to the legislature the advis-
ability Of providing more literally for
immigration work in the future. 4"
Minnesota has done very little adver-
Using in the past and as a result has
suffered in the western movement of
population by comparison with other
states and districts Thousands Of i'm.
migrants have passed. thru Minnesota
to more remote localities, travelling ove1
lands of as good, if not better, quality
to acquire lands more remote from mar
kets and less favorahly situated fol
agricultural pursuits. The reason fol
this has been, in the main, Ignorance

stantial progress made toward absolute
free trade, while the representatives OF
the tobacco and sugar interests who
have heretofore fought any modidca-
tions whatever, are prepared to make
substantial concessions. 1t cost some
thing to send these congressman to the
Philippines, but it would probably pay
to ship out batch Of them every year.
The same is true with regard to
Alaska. Comparatively few Of the
members Of either house have ever Wis
tied that country or have any concep-
tion Of its extent or its resources, and
no interest in its development. If we
are not to make'a disgraceful failure of
all our attempts at governing depend
encies and outlying districts, we must
either send the lawmakers in considera-
BILE number into those districts, or the
lawmakers must send representatives
who will bring back to them the facts
which they will be willing to accept and
act upon.

The Bennett Will Is Settled.

The Bennett will case in which Mr..
W. j. Bryan figured considerably has
been finally settled and Mr.. Bryan has
made statement Of it in the Com
moner, of which he should have the
benefit, since he came in for good deal
of unfavorable criticism while the con-
test was pending. .-> VIZ
Mr.. Bryan relates that in the spring
of 1900 Mr.. Philo Bennett, residing at
New Haven, Conn, called on him to
draw certain paragraphs Of his will.
These paragraphs provided for three
funds of 900 each to be distributed
among colleges, $10,0o0 for prize funds
to encourage excellence in the study Of
the principles Of civil government, $780,
600 to assist poor boys to pursue col
lege course, and $4,000 to assist girls
in the same manner. Another para
graph directed Mrs. Bennett to hold in
trust $4,000 to be distributed in &C.
cordance with sealed letter to be de-
posted with the will.
| At Mr.. Benefits death the widow
contested the paragraphs mentioned
The courts rejected the $4,000 trust
fund and the sealed letter, but upheld
the three $4,000 requests. These be-
quests have now been distributed by
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, and are in full an6
continuing force in colleges covering
each state in the union. ssas-4....
It was the sealed letter trust which
caused the comment, it being said thai
Mr.. Bryan had used undue influence
with Mr.. Bennett to obtain its insertion
in the will. The charge of undue in
fluence was withdrawn. and it appeared
that Mr.. Bryan had only a remote in
terest in. the trust since he was to re
tain the money for himself only will
the widows consent, otherwise he wa
to distribute it among colleges.
! Mr.. Bryan states that the will con
science abandon cost him upwards O
$1,000 in attorneys, fees and .travelin,
! expenses, to say nothing Of loss Of time
The upholding of the 100000 Of be
quests to colleges is the result, and not
withstanding considerable annovanc
and some Misrepresentation, Mr.. Brya
feels amply rewarded for it all in hav
ing the privilege Of placing the fund
, left by MI. Bennett, in such a way az
he believes, will help the rising genera
tions for all time to come in this cou1
try. -r$. e.

Politics and Printing.

VI Richard Weightman of the Chicago
Tribune, discussing the scandals in the
government printing office, suggests
sthat there are but two ways to cure
them: either give the public printer
authority commensurate with his sre-
Eponsibilities or shut up the shop and
.let the printing out by contract. The
lIlatter he believes to be the preferable
plan, since it would take the PRINTING
hut of politics and save the govern
.Ehent millions every year.
rA The United States has owned and
Perated its printing works for a good
ssSiaFny years. Doubtless it was at first

Educating the Congressman.

There is an old maxim among child

may not be very correct in form,
but it is nevertheless significant. This
maxim receives a fresh illustration in
the cases of number Of the congress

to the Philippines. Men who went
over there fully persuaded that the Fill
pinos were ready for self-government
are coming back Of different mind,
and men who went over there opposed
to any reduction Of the tariff on i'm

NEW LEAGUE IS
FOR DUAL TARIFF
American Reciprocal Tariff League
Is Formed on Non-Parti-
zan Lines.
New York Sun Special Service.

Chicago, Sept. Undetermined to
stand firmly on their own feet, to act
as the support, for no political boom,
and to fight "the fight of the west''
for dual tariff permitting foreign
trade, the executive committee of the
American Reciprocal Tariff league met
and organized yesterday in the Great
Northern building.
The non-political character of the
league, which is the result of the reci-
procity conference held in Chicago last
month, was shown by the fact that
neither Governor A. B. Cummins nor
any Of his faction were put on the COM
mittee.
Headquarters will be maintained in
Chicago, and William E. Skinner will
have charge of much of the executive
work in the great campaign to be
waged over the country in favor of
the dual tariff.
Gustav Schwab, who represents the
New York Produce exchange, F. j.
Hagenbarth, president of the National
Stock Breeders association, and E. N.
Foss, recognized leader of the reel
procity forces in Massachusetts, are the

A Shoulder Calling Gun.

w. T.. Hornaday, the celebrated nat
uralist, has written an article for
Shields Magazine, in which he protests
vigorously against the new automatic
shotgun. This is a sporting piece
which carries six. cartridges, which can
be discharged in quick succession by
six pulls on the trigger, and without
taking the weapon from the shoulder
Mr.. Hornaday describes it as ga shout
der Calling gun: -
His protest is against the use of such
an instrument of slaughter amongst the
wild game, and he contends that no de-
cent sportsman would carry such mur
derous weapon.
It appears, however, that this cur
has already found it's way into The
northwest. We hear Of it's use in va
rious places, and while we cannot ex
pect to curb the ambition Of the sports
man entirely, it would seem as if thu
sentiment Of true craftsmanship would
be strong enough to make it SO unpleasant
for any man to carry a gun Of this kin,
while hunting game BIRDS. so unsports
manlike, that no one would be willin,
to do so.

Significant Evidence of the Com
mercial Strength of Mime
apolis.

Summarized in the final report Of the
Northwestern Miller, covering the mill
ing trade for the past crop year, are
some percentage figures that are likely
to be surprising to many. 1t is not
generally known, for instance, that dur
ing this unfavorable season the -four
exports from Minneapolis were, proper
tionately, the smallest in twenty-five
years. The calendar-year comparisons
go back that far, and the crop-year
comparisons go back sixteen years, and
the showing is substantially the same,
however made.
Of the output for the calendar year,
13,652,735 barrels, only 1,741,120 bar
rels went for export, or 1875 per cent
Of the total. Just prior to that, the
percentage had fallen to 1877, which
was thought extremely low. Time was
when 4O.3O per cent Of the hour made
in Minneapolis was shipped abroad.
This month the industry began to
look up Everyone knows the condi-
tions that brought the temporary fall
ing off. Today there is relief from
these conditions, an abundant crop of
wheat, and large proportion of high
quality. Last season something like
forty pounds more wheat on the aver.
age was required to the barrel Of flour
because so large part Of the crop was
low grade. It is not so now. Already
the mills are beginning to. get back
their foreign business, and everything
Indicates a speedy return to former
normal conditions. y
This is interesting from the milling
standpoint, but its significance in 6
business way lies much deeper. Here

under temporary difficulties It nigh
have been supposed that this woult

FOR THE sPoRTsMAN's WINTER
NOTWITHSTANDING not three quarters
of the fun Of going abroad with rod
or gun lies in recalling the going, after
the return, when with fire ablaze and
pipe asmoke one remembers how he
brought down some particularly wary,
wild gander, or, at last, landed some
crafty old trout too WHY to be caught
easily by mere man. A book for just
such time is Sporting Sketches, by
Edwyn Sandys, a book which carries to
the reader recollections of his own ex-
periences, but which thru the great va

some experiences he has not had and give
him hints as to how to get them. What
