The tendency to go wild over a

there exists enormous bodies of a

THE COON CAME DOWN,

Shortly after Governor John.
son had stirred the railroad com
missioners to action on the grain
rate, >as mentioned in another
editorial, the railroads concluded
to play the coon part to Gov.
Johnson Dave Crockett. They
sent note to the railway com
mission saying they would grant
the proposed reduction of ten
per cent on grain from all points
fifty miles or more from the ter
minal points, thus giving volun
tarily more than they had offered
to give for the dropping of the
hearings on merchandise rates.
The offer will be accepted by the
commission. The roads affected
are the Great Northern, North
ern Pacific and the 500, but the
other roads will undoubtedly
have to follow the example. It
is figured that this will save the
farmers of Minnesota about one
million dollars a year.

Eat Light Food to Cure insomnia
DR.. Dabbs advises up to prefer light
food to drugs during an attack of in
somnia and points out that in some
cases night food is necessary, in spite
Of the fact that the body requires no
feeding when in an inactive state. He
thinks that this night food may induce
sleep, particularly in the early days Of
training, when a man has been forced
to give up much Of what has been
hitherto surplus food. He gives the
preference to liquid food ALWAYS"
he writes, latter excessive fatigue.
where, as in an overridden- horse, the
blood becomes toxic (poisonous), let
your first food be bland, light, warm
liquid food-very weak tea, milk and
warm water, thin, weak soup or mere
~ copious drafts of warm water, Sec
that the kidneys and skin act freely be-
fore taxing the stomach to digest. And

A Blackberry Superstition.

In some Of the southern counties Of
England queer superstitions are cur
rent about eating blackberries after
Michaelmas day. The country people
say that on Michaelmas eve the old
gentleman plants his cloven foot" on
all the biackberries as yet ungathered.
After this date, Sept %, it is unlucky
to pick or eat the fruit The date upon
which the devil puts his foot down
against blackberry eating varies in diff
ferent districts. In some it is as late
at Oct. 10, by which time one would
naturally suppose there were no black
berries left to stamp out. But the story
Of his prohibition Is told in many
places. Great misfortune, sickness or
death will surely follow disobedience to
his orders. But why his Satanic mai
esty should concern himself SO partic-
ularly about blackberries when so
many greater matters might be said to
claim his attention, none Of the stories
states. 1t may be that he considers
blackberries too healthy and wishes to
limit the consumption.

The Sea Good Ne1ghbor to Man.

The Sea q Good Neighbor to Man.
Let us be thankful that we have not
got to send the sea to school and teach
1t to think. The sense of reStfulness it
gives us as we contemplate it comes
a good deal, suspect, from our feeling
that here is one powerful and active
creature that we have not got to train.
1t Will take care Of itself, and we can
take care Of ourselves and not bother
about it. It will never want to vote,
never blame us for misrule, never
shame us with evidences of our selfish
ness and neglect. Restless as it is, tur-
bulent and untamable, 1t is a comfort
able neighbour as neighbors go. Really,
Is there anything else on the earth that
takes care Of itself? The mountains
have forest fires and. need land laws
and game laws, the very air may be
polluted with smoke and smells, the
cataracts are water power and can, be
stolen, the forests are merchandise, the
plains are real estate, but the sea is not
property, not perishable, not damage
able. 1t is the one thing that balks
greed and laughs at abuse-the one
thing whereof there is enough to go
around, and in which no successful ef-
fort need be feared to claim a monop-
oly.-E. S. Martin in Harper's Mag
azine.

said menacingly as he slouched heavily
from the room.
The rougher element OF Four Corners
were used to depending upon their rifles
to exc out an existence, meager enough
at best, and in the lifetime Of old Mr.,
Cornish, the former owner Of the great
estate, their depredations had been
practically unchecked, but now a new
order Of things prevailed. Old Mr.. Cor
nish was dead, and the villagers re-
garded the son who had succeeded him
with suspicion and the gamekeeper be
had appointed with sullen hatred.
The villagers were not alone In their
disapproval Of Dawson.

pointing him." the doctors daughter

Robert Cornish shook his head. ''Not

short until they learn to realize the es-
tate is private property. When they

Molly shook her head doubtfully.

she said. "They are lawless and ig-

them than you believe, and Dawson

There was such excitement in Four
corners as had not been known In
that small settlement for many a day.
The quail on the Cornish estate were
protected by the game laws from April
to September and by Dawson, the
gamekeeper, at all times, yet one May
morning found Dan O'Connor in the
Cornish preserves with a brace of
quail at his belt, Whereupon Dawson,
summoning the sheriff from Windsor
Bend, had promptly arrested O'Connor
and Jailed him.
Such thing had never happened be-
fore in the history of Four Corners,
and public feeling ran high. A crowd
had gathered at the one store the place
boosted, and their muttered threats
finally merged into open defiance.

way comp mics examin !. To
stop this the merger roads and.
their big rival, the 500, proposed
that the entire matter be dropped.
Inreturn for this. the railroads
would make a ten per cent reduc-:
ton on grain rates from all points
over 100. miles from. the termi:.
nails. The commission was: on
the point Of accepting this when
A. B.: Stickney objected to sacri.>
ticing the interests of the most
populous part Of the state for the
advantage of a limited number of
people, and the proposition was
dropped. Now comes Governor
Johnson in a letter to the COM
mission and blandly suggests
that as the roads have confessed
they can stand a ten per cent re-
duction the commission ought to
order it made, without granting
anything in the matter in hand.
The result is thus told by the
Minneapolis Journal:
AS result of Governor J. A. John
sons communications to the state
railroad and warehouse commission
yesterday, and consultation between
the governor and the commission late
yesterday, an order was issued late
today citing every railroad company
operating in Minnesota to show cause
before the railroad commission why
it's rates should not be reduced on
grain, coal and commodities general
ly.
By statute, the railroad companies
may take twenty days within which to
answer, and then must have ten days
notice of hearing. Thus, it will be at
least month before the formal hear
ing can open and it will be practically
impossible to have the case closed in
time for relief in grain rates for the
cheaper moving of this years crops.
The consultation was held in the
governors Office at the capitol. There
were present Governor johnson.
Railroad Commissioners G. F. Staples
and Young and Attorney General
Edward T. Young.
The railroad commissioners, tho
agreeing with Governor johnson in
the desirability of having grain, coal
and general commodity rates reduced,
were OF the opinion that it would be
we'll first to wait until the work of
revaluing railroad property, now in
progress, was completed.
GLOW long will this work take?"
asked Governor Johnson.
"Probably two years more," was
the answer.
"Must we wait two years, then, be-
fore getting any more relief in the
matter of rates?" asked the governor.
The commissioners agreed that that
would be too long wait, and so decid-
ep to begin at once the investigation
the governor wanted.
The republican campaigners
would do well to drop this matter
and search around for a gun that
does not kick so hard as to knock
down the person that fires it.

The leading exponent OF Jefferson

!Thos. E., Watson, of: Georgia, the
Father OF Rural Free Delivery; author
of "The Story of France" ssLife:. of
Napoleon,Y- Life and Times of
Thomas Jefferson" bethany and
other books: Mr.. Watson was the
Peoples Party nominee for Vice-Pre-
sident in 1896, and for President in
1904. He is to-day heading a middle
class reform movement which is bound
to sweep the country in a short time.
Watson's Magazine is not a
Socialist publication. It does not
stand for collective ownership of all
the means of production. Mr..
Watson belives in public or govern
ment ownership OF railroads, tele-
graphs and telephones; in municipal
ownership of street railways, gas,
electric lights, water works, etc.; and
he believes in private ownership of
all industries not natural monopolies.
The middle class-the home owners
farmers, small business men and
property owners-won Jefferson's VIC
tory in 1900; won Jackson's vic
tory over Nick Biddle's money power
in 1882; won Lincoln's victory in 1860.
But each time after the flush of vic
tory had died away, they became
careless of their rights and went to
sleep. They have slept a good por-
ton of the time since 1865, but
Watson's Magazine is waking them
up. Another great victory is in the
air. Keep in touch with the move
