one of the bitterest enemies of the
board of control in the. state. John.
son placed Rosing on the board for

Pioneer Press: What miserable
spectacle it is! Rosing drawing a
substantial salary from the state to
look after the institutions of the state

The governors second lieutenant, in
order to save dollar or two for the
democratic campaign fund, command
eering the stenographer of the board
of control and utilizing the states STA
tionery for political correspondence!
The same high officer drawing mileage
for tri p to Rochester, Fergus Falls,
Owatonna or St. Cloud on the pretext
OF inspecting the institutions there
and devoting his time to campaign
work! This is thrift with a venge-
ance. But why not pass the hat?
There are plenty of republicans who
would throw in a good round sum if
thereby they could save the board of
control from the dangerous conse-
quences of this petty political grating.
The state itself could better afford
to give Gov. johnson ten times as
much as this rotten business costs it
rather than have the board of control
polluted with cheap machine politics.
The boosted virtues of Johnson, with
which the public has been RECALLED,
look wan and sickly in the cold light
of this picayunish but essential dan.
gerous performance.

Opportunity for Drainage.

Everybody agrees that the great
Observation-Disclosures area of north
ern nnesota-whence arises the
headquarters of the streams which
How alike to the Gulf of Mexico, to
Hudson Bay, and to the Atlantic via
the Great Lakes-needs drainage, and
plenty of it.
1t is not generally understood, how
ever, that under the new state drain
age law of Minnesota everybody can
get all the drainage he reasonably
demands. All that is necessary is for
land owners possessed of wet lands to
apply to the proper state and county
commissioners; the drainage canal is
built, and the several benefited pro-
perties, whether state lands, railroad
lands, municipal property, syndicate
lands. or farm lands, pay their pro-
portionate shares of the expense on an
easy installment plan, much like that
which applies to city assessments for
sewer, water, sidewalk, and paving
Improvements. Inasmuch as the
value of the drainage to the lands is
usually many times the cost, as it
converts worthless swamp bog into
valuable farm land, the assessment
of the proportionate cost of the ditch
is not felt as burden and at the same
time it is paid by the property which
receives the profits of the improve
ment.
This system rests upon basis of
plain justice. It has stood the test of
experience the world over. It is
eminently workable in practice, and
at the same time gives every owner of
wet lands his opportunity to convert
them under state regulation into a
valuable asset for his just personal
profit, and for the advance of the COM
munity and development of the state.
Certainly, no one would venture to
advance the proposition that the
general public should stand the cost
of improving private or syndicate
lands. The Minnesota drainage OBJ
viates all special favoritism, and at
the same time is a standing incentive
to. state Development on large
scale.-Commercial West.

Rate Law Seemingly u Mix-UR,

Although it was thought that the
new commerce law would prevent rate
wars among the railroad lines, the
ruling made by the commission on ex-
cursion business will open the way as
wide as ever for rate wars. It was
believed by some of the railroad
attorneys that the thirty days. notice
clause affected every kind of pas
senger business, condition. which
would make it impossible for the
roads to engage in rate wars.
The ruling on the excursion bust
ness made by the commission is as
follows: Crates for an excursion
limited to a. designated period of
more than thirty days may be estab-
lished upon a notice of three days, in
place of thirty days. notice, otherwise
required by the amended sixth Sec
ton. Rates for an excursion limited
to designated period exceeding
thirty days will require the statutory
notcie, unless shorter time is allowed
in special cases by the commission. ,,
There is a provision in the new law
which specifies that the excursion rates
are not to be affected, and under this
provision some of the attorneys hold
that the commission cannot compel
road to give any notice whatever
when it decides to run an excursion.
Some times it is expedient to organize
an excursion within a few hours.
This would be impossible if the COM
mission had to be asked every time,
or if it required the three days. no.
tice. The most important effect the new
law has on the excursion business is
that the public in general may pur-
chase the cheap ticket granted to any
organization for which the excursion
is run. Under the new law the selling
of cheap tickets to a delegate to con-
vention and not to somebody else who
was going to the same place is con-
sldered an act of discrimination.
Under the old law in many cases the
cheap excursion rate was granted
only to those who presented Gre
Dental that they were bona fide dele
gates to the convention or meeting.
If the railroads are so inclined they
may run an excursion under any pre-
text in order to put in cheap rates.
A railroad man said yesterday that
St. Paul road could organize an
excursion party of twenty or so
Italians who wanted to go to st.
Paul. Under this pretext the public
could travel at the low rate. Isl

CORNELL HAS GREAT
RECORD ON WATER
CAPTURES THIRTY-FIVE BOAT
RACES
Oarsmen Have Been Famous Since
Memorable Regatta of 1875.
Steadily Advances to First
Place

Out of the fifty-one boat races in
which Cornell has entered a varsity
crew. beginning in 1872, the Ithacans
have won thirty-five, or twice as many
as they have lost. No university or
college can point to anything like such
a record.
Cornells rowing began with the
famous Saratoga regatta of 1875, of
which the students are still singing,
when for the first time the Ithacans
met Yale, Harvard Columbia, and Will
liams, Princeton, Amherst, Dartmouth,
Brown, Union, Hamilton and other col
deges which have long since given up
rowing. The Ithacans won easily, and
from that time on have been steadily
advancing until today Cornell is con-
ceded to be the first on the water.
From 1875 until 1884 the Cornell sue
cesses were moderate, but from that
time on Courtney became a power at
Ithaca and Cornell has been uniformly
successful. From 1884 until 1896 the
varsity never lost a race. Since the
regatta at Poughkeepsie was started
Cornell has won eight out of the eleven
races rowed there, and was likewise
successful in the two races on the
Thames, at New London, and one on
the Charles river, against Harvard, this
year. In 1902 and 1908 the Ithacans
won all three races at Poughkeepsie.

est Stake of Season
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 14.-Rams Horn,
a four-year-old son of Bute-Aunt Tessa,
owned by Captain w. S. Williams, a
western horseman, and ridden by
Jockey Sewel, won the rich Brighton
handicap at Brighton Beach this af-
ternoon before crowd which COM
pletely overtaxed the facilities at the
seaside track. The western colt went
to the post at to Q In the betting, being
second choice to Dandelion, the favorite,
at to 1.
Pressing the winner at the finish was
First Mason, who finished second,
beaten by neck. A length further
back and taking the short end of the
purse was Tokalon, winner Of the
Brooklyn handicap. All three horses
that finished in the race are owned by
western men. First Mason was 10 to 1
In the betting, while 20 to 1 was freely
given against the chances of Tokalon.
Rams Horns victory was very popu-
lar for he was probably the most popu-
larly played horse in the race, and the
only one to be backed down from the
opening prices. The first price laid
against him was to l and despite
the golden stream which poured in on
Dandelion, Whimsical, Flip Flap and
several others of the most fancied
horses, the play on Rams Horn forced
the bookies to cut him to 0 to 2.
The time of the race was 203 3-5,
which, while not threatening Broom
sticks worlds record of 2:02 AS, made
in this race two years ago, is considered
rather fast for the mile and a quarter
distance.
Day Ideal
The day was an ideal one for racing,
the heat of the midsummer sun being
tempered by refreshing breeze The
crowd exceeded all expectations and the
Jam was the worst seen on New York
race track in years.
The Brighton, which has a guaran-
teed value of $25,000, is the richest of
the all-aged handicaps and coming late
in the season is participated in by
horses of known quality and fitness.
Rams Horns share of the purse was
$4,000, while $4,000 went to c. E. Rowe,
owner of First Mason, and $1,000 to w.
Fuller, owner of Tokalon, who finished

urban, could not run today because of

his races this year, Dandelion was made
favorlte today, opening at to and
