THE GRADUATION ESSAY.

The wisest, wittest, prettlest girl

Her graduation essay was
The finest ever read

Or anywhere, lis said.
Her dress was white pokey en- train
And built with fairy skill,
Twas tucked and plated. gored AMI

With many a lounce and frill;
The oyerdress was baby blue,
Enwrought with laces fine.
Oh, all the women folks declared
The essay was divine.
The basque was cut Partisan style.
With plpings all Of silk,
The corsage was ~besplashed with bar:
OF velvet pale as milk;
The waist was made dccollete,
And showed a comely form;
The %essay-doubt you what we say??-

spoEse to'a summons from Chief Mine
Inspector James W. Paul, all the dis
trlct inspectors gathered in the clty
yesterday for a discussion with The
chief Of the new mining code and the
enforcement Of its provisions. There
are now six deputies as follows: Ear
Henry. Bonner Hill. William Warner
John Brott, Edward Byrne and Franz

The new mining laws will be rigid.

effect a number Of prosecutions have
been Instituted by the deputies. No,
long ago several miners were conyic.
ed Of violations in the fayette cour,
and were given stlr sentences. The In.
spectors find that a great many Of the

that the best element among the
miners have read them carefully and
obey them to the letter.
1t is also asserted that the operators

Ito meet the new conditions. The new

In commenting Upon the admin
istration's promise to assist the west
in the movement of crops the CONNER.
cial West says editorially: +
1.-The administration has been in.
sincere in it's promise to. the west tc
assist in moving the crop. One hun.
dred millions of the two hundred and
thirty-two millions recently placed by
the government went into New York
banks in the face of published reports
that none of it would go to Wal.
street. We believe it was wise tc
place large part of this money If
Wall street, but we do object to the
false announcement to the public thai
none of it would go there. OF this
great amount of money the northwest
received $1,000,000 The relief was g
farce so far as moving the crops was
concerned, and to this extent the ad
ministration is responsible for no,
acting firmly in the matter of direct
assistance. "

Mr.. Bryan believes that the most
effectual way to avert money stringen-
cies would be for congress to pass an
act providing for the guarantee by the
government of all deposits in national
banks, these banks in return to guar.
antee the reimbursement to the gov.
eminent of any losses incurred. He
is averse to the postal savings bank
proposition of the administration up
on the grounds that it would not fur
nish complete relief, because the plan
as presented limits deposits and does
not contemplate the opening of cur.
rency accounts. AS Mr.. Bryan has
carefully studied the money situation
his views are worthy of some consid-
Grafton.

p. G. sjoblom s paper, the Mime.
apolis Telegram, will at the end Of
the year go out of existence, or, more
correctly speaking, be merged into a
weekly publication of greater scope.
It will be conducted by stock com
pany of $4,000 capital with Mr.. sjo.
blom in the editorial chair: The new
paper will advocate the proper recog-
nition of foreign-born citizens and the
elimination of nationality preference
in politics. Mr.. Sjoblom has ALWAYS
advocated this policy in masterful
manner through the medium of his
Telegram, but has been handicapped
in his work by the fact that his paper
is a local publication. The Union
is glad to know that the scope of Mr..
Sjoblom's usefulness is about to be
increased.

New York's board of education has
ordered that pupils in the public
schools will no longer be permitted to
sing songs containing words or
phrases of religious significance and
that even the words "Christ" and
"Christmas" must be eliminated.
This decision of the board is the re-
suit of an agitation by the Israelites
and it will have the effect of prevent
ing the singing of Christmas carols
in the public schools. A tight draw
ing of sectarian lines, to be sure, and
one that will meet with much denun-
citation, for the singing of Christmas
carols is a true delight to the heart
of christian school children.

Governor Conner of Alabama issued
a most singular Thanksgiving proc.
lamation this year in which he en-.
bodied the following language:
"Insane commercialism and re.
lance on the power of wealth has re.
ceived a check. While some stagnant
water will be left, the country is now
being inoculated with the old-time
methods of prudence, care, honesty
and fair dealing, which will result ir
clearing and curing the situation"

optimistic view will materialize.

THE FRAUDULENT A1IENnarENr

a
Referring to the wide open tax
amendment which was never adopted
by the voters, the Waseca Herald uses
this strong language: 81
"Why, it is an outrage upon the
ballot box that ought to arouse the
indignation of every decent man in
Minnesota.
"During the session of the legisla-
ture last winter we tried to prevail
upon Governor Johnson to forcibly
bring the matter before the legisla-
ture, in special message, but he re-
fused to do so-trusting to the courts
to rectify the wrong.
1.-THE result is what we told the gov
ernor we thought it would be-the
statute being so defective that an cleo
ton contest involving the election of
state officer or the adoption of a
constitutional amendment could not
be adjudicated in the courts so as to be
of any practical value whatever.
"We also asked Legislators to take
action, but they, too, we're Indifferent,
and thus the infamous outrage of a
rape upon the ballot box is accom-
plished and goes unscathed.''
The child-like confidence of editor
Child in Governor johnson is truly
touching. Uuder the wide open tax
amendment it is possible for the legis-
lature to enact law that will give
counties the right to exempt any class
of property from taxation-goods
and merchandise for instance. Under
such a law goods and merchandise
might be exempted from taxation in
Ramsey and Hennepin and possibly
St. Louis, but it would not be pos
sible to exempt that class of property
in any other county of the state-the
people would not stand for it. Then
what would be the result: The re-
tailers of St. Paul and Minneapolis
would be enabled to increase their
trade at the expense of the country
merchants. It stands to reason that if
a retailer in Minneapolis paid. no
taxes on his stock of goods he could
undersell merchnat at Waseca or
Princeton who is obliged to pay from
four to six per cent taxes annually
on the valuation of his stock of .mer-
chandise. !,
Such a condition of affairs is pos
sible under the wide open tax amend
ment that is now part of our state
constitution. T.

James MCGEE Arrested.

James MCGEE was arrested at the
home of his brother in Wright county
by Sheriff Shockley upon warrant
charging him with having sold horses
which were mortgaged with the First
National bank of Princeton for $3.50.
The warrant upon which MCGEE was
arrested was issued in August last,
but until last week the man had not
been located. He was brought here
on Monday and returned on Tuesday
to Monticello with the sheriff, where
he expected to be able to raise suf6-
cient money to arrange a satisfactory
settlement with the bank.

The bed of the ocean seems to be
equally as unreliable as the bed
which closes with a spring. Now it
is up and then it is down, or vice
versa. Where it was up it is down
and where it was down it is up. AT
least that is the report of captains OF
vessels engaged in trade on the gull
Of Mexico. Recent volcanic erup-
tions are responsible and this will
make necessary the remapping of the
seas bottom.

A pamphlet with a brig ht red cover
has been published denouncing in
bitter language President Roosevelt
for almost every official act he has
committed since his becoming the
nations chief executive. The title OF
this pamphlet is "The Roosevelt Pan
ic of 1907" and it's authorship is
anonymous, but it is supposed to
emanate from Wall street gamblers,
who are all 'agin" the president. It
is a veritable roorbach, but at the
same time publications of this nature
ofttimes have the effect of doing in.
calculable injury to the person Sian.

When man places his political

should at the same time place his
financial affairs in the hands of a

Those who have watched the action
of Attorney General Young in the
organization and contest affairs of
Koochiching county, know what kind
of public servant he is. The Du-
luth Herald in commenting on his late
action in obstructing the recount on
the tax amendment, says things which
two-thirds of the people of this county
have found true year ago. The
Herald says in part: "This is dis
honesty, pure and simple. There can
be no other name for it. Instead OF
a department of justice, the attorney
generals Office is being turned into a
department of injustice, with the aim
of defeating the will of the people by
a technicality. An attorney general
who will take such stand has pitt
full conception of legal ethics and OF
the responsibilities of public
oficer.''
