Decreased Exports to the Orient.

The export trade to the Orient de-
creased sharply in April, but it is still
an unsettled problem as to whether this
decrease is the direct effect of the Chi
nese boycott of American goods or
whether it arises from some other
causes. Shipments to China from the
more than shipments to other oriental
countries. The exports to China in April
were valued at $3,2SO,546, as against
81 ,3O6,724 in the corresponding month of
last year. 1t is to be considered, how
ever, that in April, 1905, there was a
great demand for American products,
far above the normal, and it was not
expected at the time that the high mar
ket would be maintained. The ship
ments to China in April of this year,
although far below those of the same
month of 1905, were still much higher
than the monthly average for years
prior to 1905.
The exports to Japan in the month of
April decreased by a larger ratio than
did the exports to China. The total
was $2,477 ,266, against $5,290,229 in
April, 1905. There. is no boycott in ia
pan. Other decreases in exports to Asia
are conspicuous in the official record.
For the first ten months of the present
fiscal year the exports to China were
only $3,000,O00 less than in the CORE
spending months of the preceding fiscal
year, while to Japan there was a de-
crease of over $4,000,000.

Gives Blue Earth Credit.

In an article treating of the late re-
publican convention, The st. Paul Dis
patch credits Blue Earth county with
starting the ball in favor of the nomi
'Blue Earth country with,its seventeen
votes started it, and Hennepin with eigh-
ty-six gave his nomination the finish
ing touches. For three ballots before
that, Hennepin had given its full ninety
nine to Block and Blue Earth had divid-
ed its strength between Cole, Somerville
and Block. The others simply climbed
onto the wagon. Ramsey was among
this number. Plior to this it had the
chance of being the star-but its lead
ers played politics, so they called it,
and got nothing" :.
The Dispatch is of the opinion that
Julius Block and Andrew Stephens had
as much to do with Coles nomination as
anyone. That newspaper states that
Lying on the fiat of his back in bis
room in the ST. Louis hotel Tuesday ,Hat
midnight, exhausted after a days hard
work, Cole declared to his managers
that he could not win, and spoke of a
| combination with the jacobson people
that would give him the lieutenant gov
ernorship. His managers felt about the
same as their chief, but they did not
openly show it.
"News travelled quickly in the two
days preliminary to the convention and
it reached the headquarters of the other
candidates in lightning time. Block and
Stephens quickly called in DR.. Cole and
he was advised to stick. Members OF
the Hennepin delegation close to Block
were hurried to Coles room, and he was
told fatty that he would not be allow
ed to withdraw. The language used, it

Injunction Against Intimidation.

Years ago when Judge James c. Jen-
kins issued the famous injunction re-
straining the Northern Pacific employees
from striking in body his action was
commented OH from one end of the land
to the other and labor organizations
were especially severe in their condemna-
ton of the jurist who braved the storm
of Indignation. 1t now remains for an
other United States Judge to enjoin a
labor union. If anything, this recent
order is more sweeping than that which
Judge jenkins had to do with. The in
junction forbids striking molders from
entering upon the grounds of the Allis-
Chalmers company and from compelling
or attempting to compel by violence or
threats of violence, any person to leave
the employment of the company; at
tempting to induce certain apprentices
from breaking their contracts with the
company; from congregating at or near
the premises of the Allis- Chalmers COM
pany for the purpose of intimidating or
attempting to intimidate any persons
employed or seeking employment; from
picketing, guarding, obstructing or beset-
ting the streets, alleys and approaches
to the premises of the Allis Chalmers
company with the purpose of intimidat-
ing, threatening, surrounding or 'coercing
any of the company's employees, or per-
sons seeking employment, to refrain
from interfering with such persons in
going to or from or remaining at the
works of the company.
The order also forbids the defendants
either individually or in combination, go
ing to homes, boarding houses or places
of habitation of employees or persons

Well Distributed Ticket.

Charles b. Cheney, who writes poll
ties for The Minneapolis Journal, say:
that the state republican ticket is dis
tributed fairly well geographically. In
Guiding the holdover officials, the eec
tive positions are divided now as fol
lows:
First-Chief Justice Start, Olmsted
State Auditor Iverson, Fillmore
Second-Eberhart of Blue Earth, fol
lieutenant governor; Dinehart of Muir
ray for treasurer, and w. E. Young OF
Blue Earth, hold-over railroad commits
sioner.
Third Railroad Commissioner Staples
Dakota.
Fourth Senator Clapp of Ramsey
holdover, and Justice Jaggard of Ram
sey, holdover.
Fifth-Justice Elliott, Hennepin
holdover.
Sixth-Senator Knute Nelson, Doug
IDS. ~. II. ,olC VI LASS. ioi SoNSihoi
Pideeon of Wright, clerk of supreme
court
Seventh Young of Swift, attorney
general; Schmahl of Redwood, for sec
rotary of state; Justice Brown of Stew
ems, hold-over.
Eighth-Justice Lewis of st. Louis
hold-over.
Ninth-Railroad Commissioner Mills
of Clay, hold-over.
The sixth fares best, but Cole belong:
about as much to the eighth district al
to the sixth. Three of the four coun
ties in his legislative district are in the
eighth congressional district
The second district can certainly make
no complaint. Up to 1904 the present
second district was shut out of elective
offices. In that year it landed Young
on the railroad commission, and Wed
nesday added two more scalps. Blue

Eberhart will come up for another tern
two years from now, and Young's tern
will expire at the same time. 1t viii
then be up to Blue Earth to say which
it will stand for.

Statewide Primary Election.

One of the nominees on the state re-
publican ticket makes the prediction
that the Duluth convention is the last
one that ever will be held in Mime
sofa, not that the party is going to
pieces, but because the people demand
a statewide primary election law, and
there is reason to believe that the next
legislature will enact such provision.
The extension of the primary law to
state officers, will be the cap sheaf of
election reform. By its operation the
caucus and convention manipulation will
find his occupation gone. The people
will decide who shall be the nominees on
the party tickets and will do that
same thing without asking the consent
of any politician or set of politicians.
There will be no opportunity for trades
and the nationality racket cannot be
worked until sensible and fair minded
people become disguised with it entire
ly.
Candidates for the legislature should
be asked to pledge themselves to the
primary election law. Those that re-
fuse to promise this measure should be
kept at home. The people want such
law enacted and their wishes should
receive the earnest consideration of
those who enact the laws.

Republican State Ticket.

The republican state convention handl-
ed its work in manner which deserves
the thanks of the party. The delegates
had delicate task to perform but they
succeeded admirably, and gave us a tick
ct which will be supported most heartily.
The endorsement of Hon. Knute Nell
son for election to the United States
senate was expected, and the vote of
confidence which was. given the man of
the people must be gratifying indeed to
the senior senator. 1t was IL graceful
act and well performed.
The denomination of Charles NJ. Start
for supreme court justice is as well
received. He is an able jurist and has
been on the bench for years. No man
is better qualified for the dignifed po-
sition.
A L. Cole, the nominee for governor,
is one of the people. He is a strong
character, a man of sterling integrity,
ability and good common sense, and
withal broadminded. Mr.. Cole is ma
tive of st. Lawrence county, New York.
He is fiftyeight years old, just in the
prime of life and possessing a ripe ex-
perience in business and public affairs.
He comes from sturdy stock. He at
tended the common schools and st. Law
renee university, engaged in business and
served as school commissioner. He re-
moved to Minnesota in 1882 and has
been successful in business, but did not
come to the front in politics till 1902
when he was elected to the house. He
was reelected in 1904 Mr.. Cole may
be described as the champion of the new
er parts of the the state. Northern

Success Is Assured.

Minnesota republicans will enter the
state campaign with united front. The
bitterness of two years ago has been
wiped out altogether by the harmony SC
manifest in the convention at Duluth
which nominated the strong ticket that
is presented to the people for their
support.
The friendly spirit which pervaded
the great gathering augurs well for the
party and means success at the polls in
November. The ticket is one which
commends itself to all classes. 1t is
made up of first-class men whose fitness
for the positions to which they are GER
tain to be elected is unquestioned. They
are clean, honest and upright and with
out faint.
Contests entered into most every
nomination, yet there was no display of
acrimony or ill-feeling. The delegates
were convened for the avowed purpose
of framing up ticket which would APP
peal to the public and they have ac-
complished this end. Their good work
will receive handsome endorsement on
election day.
There are no sores to heal or wounds
to bandage. The fight for the several
places on the ticket was open and above
board. Every candidate for nomina-
ton went into the contest with his eyes
open to the bald and undisputed fact
that but one man could be selected for
each place, and those who failed to re-
ceive recognition will content themselves
with the situation, accept defeat with
the grace of warriors who fought a good
fight and were defeated by men equally
as worthy as themselves.
The republicans of Minnesota are in
excellent fighting condition. They are in
shape to give the enemy a most siren
uous campaign and the victory which
the grand old party will credit itself
with on Nov. will be glorious one.
However, republicans must not rest
under the feeling that their task in
bringing about the victory will be an
easy one. The opposing forces have been
well entrenched behind the official
breastworks for nearly two years and
they have added strength to their arm
ament. To size the situation up in any
other way would be foolhardy.
The battle will be hardfought. The
enemy will not surrender the fort cas-
lily. They will contest the claims of
the republicans until the last gun is
fired. Republicans must be put on their
guard, and every party man is expected
to do his duty.

That is what The Slayton Gazette

The Gazette should read the plat

Baggage Agents Propose to
Adopt New Rule.
BAGS WILL NOT BE CHECKED
Also to Discuss Clause Limiting The
Amount That Can Be Claimed
for the Lost Articles.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
"Unlocked receptacles, such as suit
cases, telescopes, etc, will not be check
ed. Passengers must take them on the
train and take care of them"
Such notice as this may be tackled
up in the st. Paul union depot in the
near future, as well as in all depots in
the Western Passenger association ter
ritory. The adoption of some rule in
that direction will come up for con-
sideration at the quarterly meeting of
the Western Association of General Bag
gage Agents June 20 in Milwaukee.
Passengers make frequent claims to
baggage agents that their telescopes, etc,
are tempered with Ell route and they
demand to be reimbursed for what they
claim to have lost. There are passen-
gers. who say that they have lost hun
dreds of dollars worth of jewelry from
a 50-cent telescope. Despite the alleg-
ed value of their property they fail to
put lock strap on the telescope. The
baggage agents have become tired of
settling such claims and they propose to
protect the patrons of the road as well
as the roads.
"The street car company puts gates
on cars to protect passengers from be-
ing injured and bringing suit for dam
ages" said a general baggage agent yes
terday afternoon. 'The baggage agents
propose to put locks on receptacles and
protect the contents"
There is another feature to the ques-
ton. Some of the telescopes and suit
cases which people carry cannot stand
the usage on baggage cars and depot
platforms. A lock would be no protec-
ton for the contents. In such case the
passengers may be asked to take their
travelling bags with them on the train
and be responsible for. their welfare.
The association will consider the ques-
tion of checking corpses from Chicago
through to the east on all lines. At pres
ent there are only two lines to the east
which have such an arrangement with
the western lines.
The baggage agents will discuss also
the proposition of putting a clause on a
ticket passage providing that the limit
for lost baggage shall not exceed 500.
A few lines have such provision in
their contract printed on tickets, but
the proposition is to have all the lines
in the association agree in the matter
The baggage agents put the PROPOSE
ton ND to the association about six
months ago, but the officials said that
the scheme was not practicable at that
time. A committee, which looks after
supreme court decisions, will submit de-
cisions and opinions on the validity of
the clause, before the baggage agents,
who may again take the matter before
the roads.

DR.. B. Merrill Ricketts,, whose paper
on compression of the heart after it has
ceased beating to restore life, read at
the meeting of the American Medical
association in Boston on June 6, created
a sensation, has consented to talk on
the subject. He says a person who has
been dead twenty minutes was brought
back to life by manipulation of the
heart. The heart has actually been
stimulated to action one or two days
after DEATH said the doctor, ''yet one
or two minutes after the cessation of
the heart is time enough to Justify a
physician in opening the chest and
squeezing the heart much as one would
a sponge, to renew its action. In illus
tration of this let me cite case of a
child of Brighton, England, only last
year, who was pronounced dead by the
attending physicians, and the coroner
was sent for. The child had been dead
supposedly for five hours, when the cor
oner arrived, yet the child at that time
raised it's hands and the heart beat and
there was life for several hours after
ward. Manipulation of that heart,
would in all probability, have brought
permanent life to. that child
