elsewhere in this issue is a state
ment signed by Prof. G.. E. Swanson
relative to the report that State Supt.
Ramer had been campaigning with
the governor in the north part of the
state. Mr.. Swanson gives the state
ment as made by the governor, and
we are not disposed to doubt the gov
ernor's report. We print the item for
the aso that Mr.. Swanson feels
that the report as we gave it last
week might work an injustice to him.
We secured the report from the press
dispatches, and, as will be seer by
the item elsewhere, the facts were
sufficient to give rise to the report,
but not sufficient to warrant the state
ment that the two gentlemen were
campaigning the whole north part of
the state together. We presume that
the treatment accorded by the COVER
nor to the home candidate in Grant
county was very similar to the treat
ment of Mr.. Swanson by the governor
while he vas III Kingsbury.

fond of referring to.

FRANKLIN LANE CONFIRMED.
The President Sent the Nomination to Senate December Last, Hut
 It Met with Opposition.

Washington, June 30.-The senate in ex. ntiye session Friday confirmed the nomination of Franklin Lane of California to be a member of the in terstate commerce commission to suc- ceed Former Governor Joseph w. Fi- fer of Illinois. The president sent the nomination to the senate on December 6 last. but the interstate commerce committee failed to take action. Op- position to reporting the nomination. it was publicly stated, was based on the fact that if he was confirmed the democratic members would dominate the commission, Mr. Lane being democrat. Senator Elkins made fa- vorable recommendation on the nom- ination Friday by polling the commit tee. Senator Foraker led the fight against confirmation Friday, contend ing that MT. Lane lacks conservatism and is a pronounced reformer in rail- road matters Senators Kean and Till- man were both favorable to confirma- ton and in this was joined by Sem aior Flint, who said he had opposed the nomination on account of Mr. Lanes politics, but now that the com~ mission is to be enlarged by the new rate bill. he withdrew his objections. On vivi voce vote Mir Lane was con- frmed

WHEN ROOT GOES SOUTH.
Will Accept the Hospitality of Chile and Make Part of Journey in n Chill
 tiau Warship.

Washington June 30.--Secretary Root will accept the hospitality of Chile and make part of his trip along the west coast of South American in q Chilean warship. The United States cruiser Charleston, on which Secretary Root will sail for South America is too large a craft to work it's way along the inside passage from the Strait of Magellan to Valparaiso. Chile, and consequently the American secretary of state and his party will probably leave the Charleston at Sandy Point in the Strait of Magellan, and go aboard a Chilean man of war which can wor! its way along between the islands of the west coast and the mainland, thus shortening the trip by several hundred miles and enabling MT. Root to remain longer in Chile.
 Secretary Root will probably be in Rio Janeiro for about ten days. His stops on the west coast of South American will be at Valparaiso, Chile Callao, Peru, and Guayaquil, Ecuador From Valparaiso he will journey by rail to Santiago, the capital of Chile l He will also take the rail trip from Callao to Lima, the Peruvian capital
 The ditance from Guayaquil to Quito
 the capital of Ecuador, is so great that
 Mir Root probably will be unable to make the trip.
 After crossing the isthums of Panama Mir Root will go to Cartagena, Colom- bia, to pay his respects to that govern ment The Colombian secretary of state will doubtless be at Cartagena to greet Mr. Root and it is not unlikely that Preident Reyes himself will make the long trip from Bogota to greet the American secretary of state Carta- gena will be MT. Roots last stop be- fore returning to New York.

He was carried home and Dr. Chavis. who was called in, assisted Dr. Locke h dressing the wounds. Drs. Norman and Scott of Ham, burg were also wired for and went to assist Tn saving the boys life. It seemed impossible for him to survive the great shock, but he Is now resting comfortably and the physicians express the opinion that he will recover.

The great ranges of the west produce herds of cattle in which the percentage of disease is remarkably small and the federal gov. ernment is steadily reducing. by ap. proved scientific methods. this small percentage. Tho inspection of the animals before and at tho time Of slaughter has alvey. been thorough. It is true that the department Of agri- culture has heretofore lacked the power and money to provide for an efficient supervision and sanitation of the methods of preparation If canned meat food products.
 "Thc legislation which has just be- come effective provides the depart ment of agriculture with an adequate law and with ample money to carry it into effect.
 Supervision and inspection will Dc extended from the pasture to the package The federal stamp upon the can win be a guarantee not only of the hoalthfulness Of the animal but also that the product was prepared in sanitary surroundings. and with the addition of no deleterious chem teal or preservatiye. any meat food product bearing the government stamo will be fit for food.
