OUR OFFER.

1t having been reported that the
people of Norway invited Prince
Charles to become king of that
histor country, and that he de-
clined because they only offered
him $475, 600 year, we promptly
sent the Storting the following
cablegram:
"Dear Storting:-If Prince
Charles don't want the kings Job
we will take it at $3.50, 900 a year,
to be paid twice a month, and board
ourselves. We will furnish re
Communications from President
Roosevelt, Senator Nelson, Con-
gresham Buchanan and the post
master of Sank Centre, that we will
make better king than Prince
Charles or any other pampered son
of royalty. We will establish re-
forms and rules of conrt etiquette
that will make the crowned heads
of decayed Europe sit up and take
notice. We will furnish our own
Worshipful Master of the Bath
Tub, Grand Keeper of Records and
Seals of the Kings Treasury and
Venerable Consul of the Champagne
Cellars at our own expense, all the
rest of the hired men to be furnished
us free of expense. We will
guarantee to supply queen that
will make the Royal Scrub Women
wish they never had been born un-
less they keep the imperial stair
ways clean enough to eat on. We
will bring with us four princesses
for wives of Europe's future rulers
and if they are as successful in
keeping their royal consorts broke
as they are in keeping us in that
condition the peace of Europe will
be assured for a century. They
won't have any money for wal
! purposes. We have a red headed

boy that will make a first class
crown prince and the succession to
the throne will be assured. 1t is
understood that we will be allowed
to take our cigars with us from
Sank Centre. If we are compelled
to use those sold in the shops in
Christiania we demand eleven
million dallars year and a life
insurance policy thrown in.
This offer only holds good for
ten days. The Hera DIS advertis-
ing patronage and subscription list
is increasing SO rapidly it may be
withdrawn at any time"

their wares from the vehicles of
transportation in a reasonable time
they must pay penalty and the
law has right to say if the
companies delay transportation
beyond reasonable time by refus-
ing or neglecting to furnish
vehicles for transportation, they
shall pay penalty to the business
injured by such action.
We think the following good
plank on transportation for a
political platform:
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1905-09-14

A transportation company
must not discriminate by carry
ing freight or passengers for
nothing, or at less rate for
some than it does for others.
Freight and passenger rates
must be reasonable and the law
through its proper officials has
the right to say what is reason
able.
Transportation companies are
only entitled to a reasonable
return for capital actually in
vested and the law has the right
to compel them to disclose Che
true amount of capital invested.
II business must pay a
penalty for holding cars after a
reasonable time the company
should pay a business for failing
to furnish cars in a reasonable
time.
Every possible precaution
must be adopted for the safety
of passengers and employees by
transportation companies.

benefit of others. They have made


who have sacrificed all for the
degree of credit and honor as men
no sacrifices. They collected their
pay as they went along and their
wages wee not meager.
All transportation corporations
possess rights and privileges that
are not granted to private business
concerns and consequently the
public has a right to certain control
over their business. 1t is a we'll
recognized principle of law, older
than any other, that when the
individual cannot protect himself
against the extortion of business,
whether it is the business of an
individual or corporation, the law
has not only the right but it is the
duty of the law to protect. him.
For centuries the law has regulated
the amount of interest on loans, the
amount of toll that miller might
receive for grinding grist, charges
of innkeepers, stage coaches, hacks,
and various other lines of business.
The right of governmental con-
troll over transportation companies
is SO we'll settled that to deny it is
to proclaim ones ignorance or
prejudice.
In this country there are only
two questions to take into conside-
ration:
Where the authority of the
national government ends and the
right of the state governments
begin.
Second. The limit or extent OF
the control.
A transportation company can
build up a great city in wilderness
or transform great city in fertile
valley into a country village by
discrimination; it can make a
millionaire a pauper or it can make
a pauper millionaire by favorit-
ism, and for this reason the law
has right to say that there shall
be no discrimination or tavoritism
between communities and citizens.
Unjust and exhorbitant transpor-
tation rates mean robbery of the
people and the law has the right to
say that such rates shall be
reasonable and to decide as to their
reasonableness.
Watered stock, excessive valua-
ton of holdings, plumber the people
by making them pay interest on
capital which has no existence and
the law has right to say that the
transportation companies have only
the right to receive fair return on
capital actually invested and to take
measures to compel such companies
to disclose the true amount invested
in their enterprises.
The lives of it's citizens is the
most valuable asset that a nation
possesses and the law has a right to
say that, regardless of expense,
such companies should adopt every
precaution for the safety of Its
passengers and employees.
! The business of transportation
companies is to transport. If a
corporation or citizen hinders such
business by neglecting to remove

One of the most important, if
not the most important, questions
of modern civilization and modern
business ia the question of transpor-
tation. Almost everything we use

Never were prospects brighter for
sheepmen than now. There are no
oyerstocked wool warehouses and big
bands of yearling, two-year-old, and
even three-year-old rams staring them
in the face as was the case not so
very long ago. Whatever figure poll
tics may cut in sheep husbandry we
must not lose sight of that great fac
tor, the law of demand and supply.
The eagerness with which whool has
been bought this season and the In
quiry regarding next seasons clip, the
way in which rams of all breeds have
been sought by our great western
floclmasters, and the unusual inquiry
for rams this late in the season tells
significant story of the future
American Sheep Breeder.
