congress was alive to the serious char
acter of the situation a generation ago
and that it was under no illusions with
regard to it's power to regulate rail
roads. 1t was only a question whether
it would not be better to give the rail
roads chance to so amend their man
ners as to make government interior
ence unnecessary.
But the railroad magnates never re-
formed. They never intended to re-
form, and it became evident that either
congress must regulate the railroads or
the railroads would regulate the people.
This is really the only question before
the senate today. The fight for judicial
review has been falsely represented by
the railroads as their fight against con-
iscation. There is confscation involved,
but it is not the confscation of rail
roads. 1t is the confscation of the law
that is intended. Unlimited judicial
review is merely killing the Interstate
commerce commission by inches instead
of by abolishing it. It is the difference
between opening patients veins and
blowing out his brains. Dissolution will
result in, either case.

WATERFOWL, S. D., April 21.-The

which undertook to purchase fifty miles
of right-of-way, northwest of this city,
for the extension of the Minneapolis 81
st. Louis road, announce that they prac-
tically have completed their undertake
ing. C. H. Lester, who has borne the
brunt of the work, has secured deeds
to sixty-six descriptions in Coddington
county, practically all the road re-
quired.
In Clark county the railroad wanted
title to fftY-seven tracts and of this
number, Mr.. Lester obtained deed or
a contract for deed for all except FIVE.
The land secured by Mr.. Lester for the
road aggregates 675 acres, which was
acquired at an approximate cost of $25
per acre. This average may be slightly
raised by the final settlements for
tracts now under condemnation pro-
ceedings.
Mr.. Lester says that he expects that
| about 260 miles of the road will be COM
pleted in time to handle the crops next
| fall. The line goes west thru Bradley
! and Condo, thence out to the Missouri
river at LIE Beau. From Condo there

Work will be begun on the east end

extend its line to the town.
An option has been taken on the Min

a company during the last week with
the avowed purpose of purchasing it

SURPRISING the Charter.

Minneapolis has reached stage in
her development when the city must
take hold effectively Of the problem OF
city government. We are acting now
under an ANTICIPATED charter which IS
like a child's charm string, button
taken from each successive legislature
and the whole displaying neither har-
mony of design nor coloring. Three char
ters have been submitted to the people
but it cannot be said that any one
of them has been considered. They
have been secretly knitted and openly
spurned.
Neither political party has had the
courage to resolve for or against a
new charter. Neither has even had the
nerve to open it's meetings to the dis
cussion of the subject. Indeed, one
party in the last campaign received
important contributions from a public
service corporation on the express un
derstanding that the charter should moi
be discussed in halls hired by it's COM
mittees. We do not know which tc
. deplore the most, the hardihod Of 8
servant of the public which would thus
attempt to shut off discussion or the
supineness of a party machine, pre-
tending to represent the people, which
would accept such bride.
The public service corporations dc
not want new charter based on the
home rule act. The political machines
want the dollars of the corporation
S badly enough to smother debate on tn
subject Under these circumstances i
. is very evident that while three char
tiers have been submitted none has beer
considered.
The present charter commission /
planning to submit another draft of ;
charter at the fall election. Will tn
people allow the political committee
and the public service corporations t.
smother it again? r. =:

B. B. Herbert. editor of the National

of Missouri at Columbia yesterday. His
topic was Newspaper Making and

some interesting observatins based on
Mr.. Herbert's long experience. He be-

editors are born and not made.
"The greatest editors, he said, have
been noted for the great breadth of
their readings and knowledge and the
greatness of their hearts. From great.
ness of heart comes what is called the
nose for news or the news sense. On
account of the necessity of this special
news sense to the newspaper man we
are frequently told that editors, like
poets, are born, not made. But this
sense comes from well directed human
sympathies, guided by broad knowledge
and quick understanding.
1.-THE newspaper must not be merely
dry record of facts, but must touch
human hearts. must move and inspire
as well as teach; must entertain and
amuse as well as inform. If you ask
what are the chief requisites for 3

The Distance Tariff,

The Cannon Falls Beacon wants the
coming state convention to declare for
distance tariff, and makes the famil-
lar argument that preferential rates
granted the twin cities have dwarfed
the wholesale and manufacturing in
terests of the smaller cities.
AS far as jobbing enterprises go, that
argument is entirely exploded by the
comparative tariff sheets compiled by
the railroad commission. They show
that in merchandise rates the smaller
distributing centers fare exactly as
we'll as the twin cities. Rates out of
Winona, Faribault, Mankato, st.
Cloud, Brainerd, Fergus Falls and
other towns having distributing rates,
average just as low according to dis
lance as rates out Of Minneapolis and
st. Paul. The same rates enjoyed by
jobbers apply to most manufacturing
enterprises in the state, such as wood
enWare establishments, canning facto.
ries, soap factories and the like The
twin cities have no preference. The
D1SSeoI poIut llIdue NY Cue sDedcOH is
that flour mills in southern Minnesota
have been run out of business by lower
rates enjoyed by Minneapolis. That il
a matter entirely out Of the province
of the state, and no distance tariff
could help it.
No interest in the state has any cry

principle is wrong economically, and az

bored arguments against government
control, which they assumed to mean ;

AS to Lieutenant Generals,

There is some disposition in the
country to make merry over the fact
that we got more lieutenant generals
out of our little war with Spain than
we did out Of the great war of the
rebellion. 1t has been objected to these
creations of high grade officers that
it reduces us to a point where we have.
no adequate rewards left for the SOL
diers who may serve brilliantly in
great war hereafter. -.
1t will be, perhaps, just as we'll to
let the rewards of the great war of
the future look out for themselves,
trusting that we shall have no great
war to pay for. In the meantime there
is no impropriety in making lieutenant
generals Of Miles, Chaffee, Bates, Nc
Arthur and Corbin. The fact is, these
men were all brilliant junior officers
in the rebellion. Except Miles and
Corbin they were colonies or less when
the Spanish war broke out. They had
been doing hard service on the frontier
for poor pay and had done it uncom-
plainingly. The American people are
not the kind to grudge them a little
honor in their old age and retiring
pay adequate to their needs.
Are we not in danger of setting up
a false standard and one dangerous to
the safety of the country if we de-
clare that the top rank in the army
belongs only to those who win vic.
tories? Do we not thus tend to dis
courage the organizing soldier without
whose patient work the dashing gen
eral would soon cease to dash?
In war an ounce of prevention is
worth many pounds Of tactics. This
was demonstrated by the japanese in
their war with Russia. They got ready
down to the last button. They got the
temper of the country ready down tt
the last capacity for sacrifice. The,
had the scene Of the campaign sowet
with spies and they divided the GROUND
to be fought over into acre lots ant
staked it out. The military men VIII,
did these things as truly won the bat
tie Of Mukden as Nogi or Oyama.
Under the general staff plan as lai,
out by Secretary Root the American
army is to be brought up to the high
est point of efficiency in time of peace
If we have another war and if tn
army gives good account of itsel
the credit will be as much with tn
men who prepare it as with those VIII
lead it and there should be no hest
tation in rewarding great organizer
even should they never see battle.
