The South and Its Heroes.

Some Of those old gentlemen whom
all delight to honor, who make up the
rapidly decreasing number Of defenders
of the union, are seriously disturbed
over the attitude Of the south in the
matter of commemorating its great civil
war events and marking the resting
places of it's heroes "There is a grow
ing sentiment in those states, - says a
union veteran, (which bodies i'll for the
union..' This is an erroneous view
The gentleman is actuated by motives
of patriotism which no one can but adj
mire, but the. holding Of such view
indicates false conception Of the COM
memorative spirit of the south. The
south of today is loyal to the union.
Of this there is no possible doubt. The
Spanish American war gave some evil
dence of it, and more would be forth
coming if occasion for its display
should arise. 4. &> z
To suppose that when the southern
people erect monument to beloved
leader, or to the general memory of
those who fell in the confederate serv-
ice, it necessarily indicates disloyalty
is to harbor an erroneous idea. In the
| city Of Memphis there is a new park
being laid out that will be known as
Confederate park, and in time, nc
doubt, will have a monument com
memorative of the confederate soldier
This does not mean disloyalty. Rather
if one sees it in the, true light,Iit shows
an underlying sentiment that is Of thu
best. in humanity. These monument
are not to be taken as representing con

'!sRasping'' Congress.

It has been the fate OF most pfesl-
dents who attempted to do things, that
they have suffered a temporary loss OF
popularity with the members Of their
party in. congress-, This arises in part
from the fact that the president is a
single individual, who can and does
conceive and strike out comprehensive
plans at consecutive stroke OF
thought, while congress, on the otner
hand, is machine which must bel
nicely adjusted before it will work at
all, and which must receive constant
care Or it will get out of order. Hence
arises in congress the need of 'lead-
ers. - steerers' and committees and
rules.
The vice Of congress is not, however,
It's slowness, but it's log-rolling tenden-
= cies. If the president wants something
y done in the way of legislation, con-
gressmen are quite apt to make their
support of his plans contingent upon
s his doing something for them in quite
another sphere, namely that of execu-
tive appointments. Many presidents
have controlled congress by the pretty
little=device Of feeding patronage to the
leaders. It must occur to everybody
that this scheme is unworthy Of both
the president and congress. The exc
cutige business of the country and the
legislation of the country are different
propositions. The one involves the ap-
pointrnent to office of men who, regard
less Of politics., will execute the laws.
The. other involves the election to con-
gress Of men who, regardless of personal
considerations or social connections, will
conceive and initiate legislation which
will be for the good Of the whole peo-
pie. The plan of political appointments
soon results in demoralizing the exc
cutive departments and later works the
decentralization of congress-, whose mem
bers begin to depend for their re-elec
ton. not upon what they have accom-
plished as legislators, but upon the
strength of the machine they have built
I'D in their districts.
IF there is any GOODNESS between con
gress and President Roosevelt, it is mos
likely because he has not made bro

what he wanted of them was not inHu

able to point out here and there in
stances of where he has made mistakes
where they could have suggested bette
appointments, but these are minor e1
rors compared with the vast morasse
Of humiliation presidents have flour

In the matter of rate legislation, fe

Rice county has a candidate for sec
tary of state, who is developing consid-
cradle strength over the state, especially
thru his Grand Army associations. Cap
tain James Hunter came out of the civil 3
war with a badly, shattered body and
the people of his home city and county
have often honored him and recognized
his claims He is a Scotch Canadian by
birth, and IS years Of age. He came to
Minnesota in June, 1861, and enlisted in
the Second Minnesota battery in Febru-
airy, 1862. He received wounds In the
battle at Perryville, Oct. s, 1852, which
disabled him for the rest Of the war.
Their battery repelled the rebel advance
with grape and canister till nearly sur
rounded when it withdrew, leaving young
Hunter, whose leg had been broken by a
gunshot The rebel charge swept over
him and then back again, and while lying
between the lines of battle Hunter was
shot thru the body. At night a squad OF
rebels rif1ed him of clothing, but took
him to a house where seventeen other
wounded were lying In the morning,
after the rebels withdrew, seven were
still alive, and Hunter was taken TO a
hospital When able to travel he was dis
charged, but April IA, 1866, when helping
to celebrate Lees surrender in Faribault.
a premature discharge of cannon blew of
| his left arm and disabled his right hand.
In 1877 Captain Hunter organized the
first active company of militia in the
| state, ahd served as it's captain for eight
wears. He has held the offices Of sher-
| iff. register of deeds, deputy auditor and
judge Of probate in Rice county.
Karl De Laittre, who represented the
thirty eighth district In the house at the
last session, has refused to be candi-
date again. Republicans in the district
are disappointed, as they need to get out
their best material in order to win even
one seat.
Harry g. Skinner Of Two Harbors, who
was N. F. Hugos colleague in the last
house. has announced himself candidate
for denomination. Nearly all Of the head
Of the lakes delegation have declared
themselves candidates for something or
other already.

Football Down and Out.

After the severe setback that foot
ball has had in the colleges all over
the country, it seems as though there
will be no chance for its universal rein
statement during the next few years at
least. We are to have another west
ern conference at the Chicago Beach
Hotel, and at that meeting the fate of
western football will probably be de-
cided. In years to come college man
can no longer feel that he has gotten
enough training from his football career
to make him, with a little daily exer-
else, a strong and healthy man for. life.
So to keep up his strength he will have
to drink golden grain belt beer.

Making Of Railroad Rates.

The Hepburn or house raiiroad-rate
bill provides for Ca just, reasonable
and fairly remunerative rate to be fixed
as a. maximum charge. - 1t assumes
that the interstate commerce commits
sion shall be the body to determine
what shall constitute such rate. Inc
question of what is a fair rate involves
the solution of two questions, What is
a railroad? and What is the basis OF
compensation The supreme court has
had the question up in several forms
and it has laid down pretty squarely
the doctrine that railroad is COM
mon carrier pure and simple; that 1t
exists by reason Of certain public IA
yors. such as that of eminent domain,
and incurs certain public limitations.
One of these was expressed by the SUI
preme court the other day when 1t de-
clared that a railroad could not COM
pete with its patrons in the articles OF
freight hauled by it. AS to what con-
stitutes a remunerative rate" that de-
ponds somewhat upon the question or
| values. Some people hold that the en-
tire value Of a railroad is the cost OF
reproducing it. The supreme court has
said that the amount and market value
of bonds and stocks, the operating ex-
penses and the probable earning capacl-
| tv Of the road under certain rates may
be considered. The court has also SAID
that stockholders are not entitled, With
out consideration Of the public, to a
fixed return upon the capital invested
The public cannot be subjected to I'M
reasonable rates simply that dividends
may be earned.
When the government gets into the
business of laying down rates, the com
mission will have the first guess at
them, and it stands to reason that the
commission will go slow, taking int
consideration the legal matters wh1cf
enter into fair remuneration under the
rulings of the supreme court. 1t Woule
seem plausible to suppose that the com
mission would be loath to Interfere ex
cept where gross injustice was being
perpetrated upon an Individual or
community. The history of state com
missions has been that they made an
!. enforced comparatively few rates-th

make rates above them causing tn

! The slowness with which congress
