St, Louis Globe Democrat: The de-
cision of Judge Humphrey in the cases
of the meat packers is that the men2at
the head of the corpora ions, and doing
it's work, can not be convicted of viola
tions Of the trust laws, but that the
corporations themselves can be, and, lin

d Heron Lake News: VIM Griffin, one
Of the prominent farmers of Weimer
township has fully demonstrated that
dairying is the surest and safest propo-
sition for the farmer, especially herein
Southern Minnesota. While some far1
mers are engaged more extensively in
the business, yet none can show q
greater per cent Of profit. Mr. Griffin
keeps only nine cows and at the prps-
ent time they are giving him gross in
come Of $40 a month. There maybe
other farmers in this locality doing
better than that, but we haven't heard
of it. Forty dollars month from nine
cows shows that they are receiving pto-
per care. y. b 1

have to look to her laurels or she nay
get left by her sister cities in the en-
ward march of progress. The matter
of street paving is engaging the atten- |

our own citizens to know what our

Mankato Free Press: Under the pro-
visions of the new code, the bondsmen
for saloon keepers hereafter must
qualify in the amount of $4,000. That
is not all. They become liable for
every infraction of the law by those
whose bondsmen they are, and may bel
called upon to cash up for them. f a
saloonkeeper sells to a drunkard the
wife can sue for damages and if the
seller cannot settle the bondsmen must.
There are saloonkeepers in Mankato
who should respect this law. In the
past they have sold to habitual drunk
ards, regardless Of the fact that these
unfortunate characters have. been
ssposted.' The excuse Of these saloon
keepers has always been they did not
know who the habitual drunkards
were. Better. post themselves and
avoid trouble.
