INSPECTION Must Be Voluntary

Once more the Wisconsin politicians
have been foiled in their attempt to
build up a grain inspection bureau with
it's patronage, and take toll of Mime.
sofa and Dakota grain temporarily held
in the Superior elevators.
The true import of Judge Sanborn g
decision is a complete knockout for any
system of compulsory inspection. The
reports sent out, saying that the Mime
sofa law had also been condemned, are
found to be entirely false. The strength
of Minnesota s system lies in the fact
that it is voluntary service. It is en-
tirely optional with the buyer and SELL
er Of grain to take the inspection. Prac-
tically inspection is essential to a grain
( market, but no system of inspection will
be accepted unless it is thoroly compe-
tent and acceptable to all interests.
Minnesota s inspection has reached a
high point of efficiency and is the
standard for export. At the same time
the producers interests are guarded
and guaranteed by the board Of appeals,
an independent body acting as a check.
Wisconsin has attempted to force a
system Of inspection upon the trade,
which has naturally fought it. Grain
men do not care to submit to delays and
expenses for a service that will do them
no good whatever. The fight finally
reached the federal court, which says
that. the state has exceeded its powers
in trying to compel interstate shipments
to take the inspection.
There is always some dissatisfaction
among producers, and Wisconsin wa
4 encouraged in its step by an organiza
ton of North Dakota farmers. They
have an impression that inspection il
too rigid on the producer and lenient OF
the buyer and shipper. The eloserson
investigates the system, the less groun'
can be found for such complaint. An in
snection must be rigid to command re

Alder's Career,
The Editor Of The Journal

TO the Editor Of The Journal.
Speaking Of Senator Alger's career
think B. F. Stedman's account is quite a
little off the mark. Let me tell him there
was no Eighth Michigan cavalry in the
valley. r The Michigan brigade of cavalry
consisted of four regiments-First, Fifth,
Sixth and Seventh. Alger belonged to the
Fifth. was private of Company c.
Sixth, and was in there, up to Nov. 4,
1854, when I was captured by band of
Mosby's guerillas, four miles from Win
chester. That morning Alger lay at Cur
rantown at o'clock in the morning with
a squad of 100 men, as passed there He
was also in the Cedar Creek fight, and as
far as the deserving part goes, that's too
! thin. A commissioned officer don't have
to desert, for he can simply resign
