monstrations show that those who at
tend the good seed meetings are there
because they want information and
that they are going to use the illus
trations given them. The work mas
been successful beyond expectations.
Every town between Young America
and Morton has been visited and steps
will be made at all towns on the
Watertown division. Farmers and
grain men are enthusiastic over the
value of the instructions given and
expect large increase in yield and bet

The party is made up of Professors

predecessors set him an example of
ruling through the people, and it be-
hooves him to do the same. While the
Englishman appears humble in the
historical view, you have but to
transgress one of his privileges to
learn how tenacious he is of them.
The Englishman's view of his gov
eminent is more rational than ours.
He never expects it to work miracles.
On the other hand, he always expects
it to do it's best In America we neg

the fact that no miracles have been
performed, demand some Immediately

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN
GOVERNMENT.

The English have some curious old
customs, some of which are merely
harmless relics of bygone times;
others which are full of the spirit of
superstition. When new parliament
is open, the commons go humbly to
the foot of the throne and petition the
king. to guarantee all their ancient
rights and privileges. For years the
monarch has not refused this, know
ing that if he did the commons would
take them anyway, and perhaps his
throne with them. Having estab-
lished their rights, the commons go
back to their nall and calling for the
yeomen of the guard. make a rigid
search through cellar and garnet for
Guy Fawkes, the gentleman wlo
years and years ago was the promoter
OF the gunpowder plot. This is a
rather expensive custom, as the yeo-
of scions of noble houses, receive sal
aries. and the head yeoman is an earl
VINO gets $4,000 a year for this half
hourts search for a man who is rot
there.
The city of London is divided into
the ancient city, which in a mile square
contains all the pomp of olden times,
with lord mayor and a board of al
dermen who nave nothing to do but
spend money for shows. The rest of
London is governed by the county
council, which is business BODY. gov
ernlng more people than are cared for
by the legislatures of New York and
Washington combined. The English
who are reputed to be nard-headed and
practical people, would not part with
one of these customs, though they add
to the expense of government and con-
tribute nothing to its efficiency. They
remind them of the fact that their
government has been a growth toward
democracy. The commons humbly SUI
ing for their ancient rights and privi-
leges. and the king solemnly confirm
ing them. looks like comic opera. but
historically ne custom is of great
value. 1t serves to remind the COM
mons that these privileges were dear

TO DESTROY SMUT.
Lecturers Visit Many Towns In Min
nesota.

MORTON, Mimi, Feb. 22.-Large
crowds of interested farmers have met
the Minneapolis & ST. Louis good seed
special train at every point On the
line. Nine lectures have been given
with an average attendance of 200 at
each. Eighteen hundred people have
heard the latest ideas On seed selection
and have received instruction on the
treatment of seed grain for smut.
Smutted grain has caused the loss of
thousands of dollars, throughout the
western section of the state this year
and the farmers are ready to adopt
every known means to prevent a repe-
tition Of the loss in the future The
lecturers from the state experiment
station advise strongly the thorough
cleaning Of seed grain and it's treat
ment with formaladehyde. To make
sure that the method of treatment is

JUDGES "ENVIABLE DISTINC-
TON"

If it is true that all the judges Of
Minnesota have either declined to ac-
cept or have returned passes given
by the railroads, then the bench Of that
state has achieved a most enviable
distinction. 1t is claimed that not a
single judge of Minnesota uses a rail-
way pass, and that the thing was &C
complished through movement
started by the district bench of Hen
nepin county. The story is plausible
in spite of the fact that the practice
of accepting favors from railway cor
porations is common among many
judges and is almost as old as the
railroads themselves. The point is
just this: If somebody makes an issue
of this manifest incongruity, to put it
mildly, and sees that the matter is put
up to each judge personally, not a
self-respecting occupant of the bench
can refuse to join in the crusade for
this form of total abstinence"
How many judges in other states
refuse railway passes? 1t would be a
pleasure to see them stand up and be
counted. 1t would be a joy to give
conspicuous publicity to the names of
all who have declined to compromise
their positions by placing themselves
under obligations to litigants whose
cases may come before them for trial.
