To Drain Stanchfield Brook.

N. j. Young of Dalbo and M. s..
Rutherford of Princeton were in St.
Paul last week in the interest of the
farmers living along Stanchfeld
brook in Isanti county. Messrs.
Young and Rutherford are a commit
tee to make application to the legisla-
ture for an appropriation of 1925, 900
to drain the Stanchfield brook into
Rum river. The brook runs through
the towns of Dalbo, Maple Ridge and
Spring Vale and it is estimated that if
the Stanch6eld brook was properly
drained it would redeem in the neigh
borhood of four thousand acres of
lands, now worthless on account of
the lnundation. Senator Barker will
be asked to present bill in the senate
asking for the appropriation for the
above purpose. If the Stanchfeld
brook is drained it will add from fifty
to seventy-five thousand dollars to
the value of the real estate along this
brook, so we are informed by Mr..
Young.-Cambridge Independent.

.sAnent the passage of an act to abol-
ish the grand jucyy'zxggsystem Of Mime
sofa much has been said, but not as
much as ought to be said on either
side of the question by the press of
the State. Some contend that to abol-
ish thevgrand jury system would be a
violation of the constitution of the
United States which provides for pre-
sentiment by grand jury in all criminal
cases, but able jurists say that the
first eight articles of the federal con
stitution are exclusively a restriction
on federal power and are moi limita-
ton upon the states. But if the grand
jury system is good enough for the
United States why is. it not good
enough forethe states. .=.s 4. =

General Lew Wallace, the author of
ben Hur,'' 1.-THE Fair God," and
other interesting works, died at his
home in Indiana last week at an ad-
vanced age. He was typical Ameri-
can, warrior, poet, author and true
and vigorous citizen. Few like him
are produced in this age and genera
ton. AS one writer says:
Always it was his fortune to live.
to act, dramatically, even sensation
ally. More than any other American
who has lived over into the twentieth
century did Lew Wallace represent to
our somewhat wearied generation the
daring and the energy of one born un-
der the Jackson regime, the loyalty
and humanity of one whose great eli
max came under Lincoln. We will
have no other man to consider who so
closely and so saliently links these
type periods of our nation. The fin
est, the most genuine products of this
American have been the. men of the
middle nineteenth century. q Earlier
men were worthy, but not So. much
American. Later men may seem
worthy, when perspective permits, but
cannot SO definitely suggest America
since the nation has become more
than that. 1T was the distinction OF
Lew Wallace to belong to that genera
ton, and then to emphasize his indi-
,viduality therein o.. - . !.

A member of congress objected

A member of congress objected to
President Roosevelt's message OF
coincidence to the car, occasioned by
Grand Duke Servins' death. The con-
gresham remarked that he denied
that the American people we're shocked
by the killing of the grand duke He
added that the American people were
shocked at the wanton massacre OF
January p. Let it go at that. We
areSall entitled to our private opin.
ions. No law abiding citizen would
uphold the acts Of the Russian terri
tories in this country. But in Russia
there is no law in which the people
have any voice. In these days Of
Elijahs, social Mahomets, Mormons
and What Nots, there, is no such thing
as divine right Of kings.

SUNDAY LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Attorney General Says Labor Commits
sioner Does Not Have to Enforce Law.
1t is no part of the duty of the State
labor missioner to enforce the
Sunday closing law, according to an
opinion given by Attorney General
Young at the request of Labor Com
missioner W. II. Williams. The labor
commissioner has received petitions
from retail clerks associations in all
parts of the State, asking him to en-
force the law and prevent their being
obliged to work seven days each week.
The enforcement of the Sunday clos
ing law, the attorney general says, is
the business of the local administra-
tiOns.

Harvey Johnson in Battle Lake Re-
view: The State game and fish COM
mission appear to be considerably
worried for fear the legislature will
make some drastic changes in the
game and fish laws. Under the pres
ent law, there are some very fat offices
and some very poor hunting and fish
ing. It is possible that the situation
be evened up somewhat.

The Wheat Corner,

The yearly corner on wheat has been
started and the chief manipulation is
John Gates. He is bull of bulls and
is crying So wheat, but operators are
suspicious and nervous lest he throws
down his holdings and contents him
self with a ''reasonable'' profit. A
market report says:
Briefly, the situation is like this
there is, beyond doubt. a corner
or at least an enormous concentrated
long holding Of May wheat. It will
not do to treat reports of this nature
too lightly. Men with money and
nerve can do anything, and Gates and
his following have both. Hence. to
say that wheat will not sell to 81. so or
81 would be foolhardy, for it could be
put there. On the other hand, this
corner has been we'll advertised.
Usually when a corner is run great
secrecy prevails and sometimes it is
long before the principal is known.
Here there has been no such secrecy.
This is the most widely advertised
corner ever heard of. Anybody in
the United States who reads must
know that Gates has wheat cornered,
for he has intimated as much himself.
Why this wide publicity? Why adyer-
tise corner like a bargain sale of
dry goods? These are the questions
disturbing the trade. Gates undoubt-
eddy has grip on the market, and
he may force prices much higher. The
reason the trade hesitates is because
all feel that Gates will want to liqui-
date sometime, if he is not even now
doing it, and they hesitate to take a
chance in deal where so much de-
ponds upon change of mind on the
part of one man.

actly like boy of six in size, appear

just learned to count up to ten. He
eats but three meals a week, has slept
twenty-four hours and played twenty
four hours regularly for the last nine
teen years. He has grown naturally
except that it has been just one sixth
as fast as it should have been.

People who are born in the State OF
Minnesota are more or less of row
ing disposition. You would naturally
think that there would be a lot OF
Minnesota-born people living in
Maine, but such is not the case. for
there are less than 500 people born in
Minnesota who are at present living
in Maine. Wisconsin claims the
greatest number, nearly $4,000, while
Illinois comes second with almost
10000. Nearly 5000 are living back
in York state while Michigan has
nearly 1900, Ohio over l,SOO and
Pennsylvania about 1900. Of the
present native-born population OF
Minnesota over $4,000 were born in
the state of Wisconsin, IS, 900 in New
York and $4,000 in Iowa, while Illinois
claims over $4,000. The next highest
is Michigan which claims about 20. 600
and Ohio nearly as many. and then
comes Pennsylvania with 10000.
Maine only can claim 10000.

MORE JEFEERsoNIAN SIMPLICITY,

what St. Paul is about to ask of the
State will be referred to the regular

attorney, was the master of ceremonies
at the feed. Dick O'Connor, the
O'Briens, the O'Kains, the MacDer-
motifs and other prominent Scndina-
VANS were there in force. The mil
lionaire tax-dodgers from Summit
Ave. were we'll represented. No ref
erence was made by any of the speak
ers to the big drunk that was held at
the same place (Ryan Hotel) in 1898,

guests, with champagne bottles in his
hands, executed a jig on the banquet

A member of a group of Minnesota
educators at St. Paul while discuss
ing proposed legislation for improy-
ing the standard of rural schools.
states that four-ffths Of the school
children of the State were in the rural
school, and that while Minnesota had
very efficient high school system,
good grades, one of the best State
universities in the world, and the best
of normal schools, the rural schools
are but little farther advanced than
when they were first founded in the
State and there has not been the same
progress in rural schools that has
marked other educational lines. Well
he might say that the condition of the
rural schools is the vital question of
the hour. But when he states that
they have made but little progress
since they were first founded by the
State, we think the criticism a little
harsh. The, country schools are fast
getting out of the ''rural" school
class and are listing in the graded and
semi-graded class. Mile Laos county
is a new country but there are very
few so-called rural schools in the
county. The advancement made by
our country schools has been very
gratifying when you stop to think of
the poor support the schools usually
get. There has been too much hog
ging and examining by our higher ed
vocational institutions, and the country
schools have not received the recog-
milton they deserve. The present legis-
lature can do much toward placing
the rural school system on a higher
plane.

Johnson's Bluff Called.

State Auditor Iverson does not pro-
pose to rest under the imputation cast
upon him by the great and only Sam
1. Johnson, erstwhile public examiner
under the defunct Van SAINT regime, to
the effect that the State had lost some
thing like S75, 900 during the past two
years through his (Iverson'sl neglect
to properly safeguard the interests of
the people in the prosecution of timber
trespass cases. In letter to the Leg
lslature Mr.. Iverson strongly resents
Jonhson's reflections on his official
character and business Judgment, pro-
nounces the accusations unqualifedly
false" and demands speedy and
exhaustive investigation, feeling con-
hdent that he will be promptly and
completely vindicated I am glad
that Iverson has called Johnson's
bluff. It will be remembered how
thoroughly he refuted Johnson's So
called charges against Bob Dunn dur
ing the heat of the campaign last fall
and it is not unlikely that a feeling of
revenge prompted him to deliver this
parting kick just as he was almost
forcibly retired from an official posi-
ton to which he has done no particu-
lar credit. Dunn, too: comes in for
an additional ''report," which, if it
is ever investigated, will no doubt be
thrown into the scrap pile of public
contempt and disbelief as were those
that have gone before. Vague charges
OF official misconduct may serve their
purpose during the excitement of a
political campaign, but they will only
be taken at their true worth when
viewed in the lime light of cool, dis
passionate, fair minded investigation.
lverson will make a monkey of that
most recent $4,000 charge-see if [

The grand duke .Sergius. the tv

The grand duke Sergius, the tyrant
Of Moscow, has gone to his reward.
He was "blown to smithereens;' in
the city of Moscow while riding in his
carriage. The grand duke was the
richest member of the imperial family,
tall and handsome, but he belonged to
the dark ages and has returned to
them in all probability. This age has
no earthly use for such human
wretches who have no more regard for
human rights and privileges than did
the grand duke. He was the first to
be marked for slaughter and there
will no doubt be others to follow.
Russia is paying the penalty and it
is to be ae..severe one. AS day fol-
lows night so will justice follow op-
preston in Russia.

were no less than one hundred rafters

rafters plying that river, and these
twelve controlled by the S. r. Van

something up his sleeve for the future

The state of Kansas has started in
to buck the Standard Oil trust, the
greatest robber of the nineteenth CEN
fury, and unless stopped in it's path of
commercial conquest, will be the big
gest robber of the twentieth century:
This is no dream. Kansas has devel-
oped some rich oil fields and the
Standard Oil Trust has been buying
the product so long as it could have
the monopoly Of the rich fields in that
state. In the meantime private capital
has been making a good profit out of
the oil wells, but the oil octopus got
to swinging at such blood-sucking
gait in that state that the legislature
has taken a hand and that state. will
operate the oil industry in the future,
or at least make an attempt to DO so.
The fight is a bitter one, and let us
hope that the state will win out. The
federal government has ordered
rigid investigation of the Standard
Oil Co. and the president has informed
the authorities to spare no time nor
money in making the investigation as
complete as it is possible to make it.
There will be something doing when
the facts are brought to light and the
Standard Oil Co. will discover if Pres
ident Roosevelt lives through his
term Of Office that the people have
something to say about the manufac-
ture and sale of the necessities of life.
Unless this thing changes before long
we will have to change our name to
the ''Standard Oil States of America. :"
