The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1907-06-19

The Haywood trial furnishes a
study of human nature that goes
down to the lowest points of the
gamut of sin. If the story of Or
chard is true it is awful and if it
is false it is monstrous. The crimes
recounted by this witness are mat
tiers Of history so far as the issue in
each case is concerned, and it is
more conceivable that the confes-
sion is an honest one, than that it
should be made for the purpose Of
fixing murderous conspiracy upon
innocent men. The trial seems to

There appears to be no fakin

There appears to be no taking
about the Sunday closing at St. Paul
on the first Sunday of the applica-
ton of the lid in that city. Saloons
were not only closed tight at both
ends, but all screens and curtains
were withdrawn so that people could
see that there was nothing doing in
that line. Secretary Schmahl re-
ports that the st. Paul people are
likely to back up the enforcement SO
far as public sentiment is concerned.
It means a large amount Of money

A ride on almost any of the road

A ride on almost any of the roads
leading south or west of this city
ought to be of educational value to
our business men at this time. They
might then better understand the
difficulties that keep some of their
old-time customers from coming to
town oftener. A condition prevails
that is equivalent to a barricade
against trade so far as hauling stock
or produce into this city over. the
main highways. The discouraging
feature in some cases is that no
amount of road work will prevail
until drainage systems are perfect
ed to take care of the water. But
this is being provided for to great
extent by the bitches now under

tenance of the roads by road drags.
Lamberton. Wabasso and Sleepy Eye
appear to have been more active in
protecting their trade by helping to
maintain the highways leading into
their towas, than have the mer-
chants of this city. The amount Of
money disbursed by some of our
neighbors for celebrating the Fourth
would doubtless open up some one
or more beleagured turnpike now
shutting out people from trading in
this city. Hadn't Redwood Falls
better celebrate by turning out on
that glorious anniversary and blow

road where now exists quagmire
shutting off trade that would gladly
come here if it could?

Attorney Young will have chance
to earn his salary and get glory on
the side in connection with the two
important supreme court decisions
handed out lately. The decision in
volving the states right to legislate
on railroad rates is attracting at
tention all over the country, and
Attorney Young will have all the
moral and legal support necessary
to protect the rights Of the people
in the fight to be waged in the
courts. The supreme court decision
which puts into the hands of the
Attorney General the power to GUST
the mayor Of any municipality who
fails to enfore the laws in regard to
Sunday closing and kindred abuses,
is another heavy responsibility placed
upon the occupant of the Attorney
Generals office. Attorney General
Young says that correspondence
along this line is already piling up
to a formidable extent. He is also
quoted as saying:
II do not think any further
activity on my part will be neces-
sary in this matter. 1t will
work itself out. Officers of mu-
inequalities over the state know
the law is there and what will
be the results if they fail to en-
force it, so | have little fear
Of being compelled to resort to
any drastic measures. While |
did not make the law, / am
glad it is on the statute books,
and that | am able to enforce it.

the final issue, we believe the effect
of it will be to make working men
in all ranks Of life hesitate before
putting the power to regulate their
hours of labor and the wages they
shall receive into the power Of a

ton such as the miners union ap-
pears to be. When dynamiting, con-
spiracy and assassination for hire are
the means used to protect the rights
of labor, labor is in sad way in

While newspaper headlines are
making a noise like war with
Japan, the real ruling spirits of
both Japan and the United States
ridicule the idea Of war between the
two nations. The yellow press and
agitators Of both countries are max

citizen is neither quarrelsome nor

but not usually dangerous.

AGED MINISTER STABBED
BY A LABORER AT ENID

Enid, Okla, Sept. l2-Rev. Charles
H. McDermond, pastor Of the Metho-
dist church in Bison, was stabbed on
the streets Of Enid about 1880 this
morning by James Davis, an Enid
workman. The minister was not seri-
ously hurt. His injuries consist OF
two gashes in the face and cut In the
upper part Of his breast, which would
have been serious il deeper. Davis
was arrested, after being taken away
from his victim by crowd, and Vas
locked up in the city jail.
There are conflicting stories regard
ing the cause Of the trouble. The af-
fray was brought about, according to
the story Of Davis, through attentions
on the part of the minister to Davis
wife. According to the statement Of
the minister, however, Davis attacked
him without any cause, and probably
as a result Of broodIng over his imagin-
airy troubles

strong statement in favor Of state
wide prohibition. It is as follows:
aYes, ! believe that prohibition will
sweep the state by at least forty
Thousand majority. II prohibition
wins in this state, it will convince the
people throughout the Republic that
We are not set Of people half civ
iIized and made up Of criminals and
fugItives from justice-they will be
convinced that this state is the place
for their sons and daughters to seek
for their future home. 1t will also
mean that we are not extending an
invitation to the whisky people, gam
blers, sports, and unfortunate women
Of the southwest to come into our
state and make it their abode, These
people all flock together. This is a
great opportunity for our people to
recommend themselves to the world
as people noted for civilization, en-
lightenment, progress and Chris

ARE HOLDING WHEAT
Oklahoma Farmers Waiting for
Higher Prices, Which They Expect
to Make Up For Crop Shortage.

Guthrie, Sept. 12 While the total
yield OF wheat in Oklahoma this year
will be little more than half that OF
the previous year, owing to the ravages
Of the green bugs early ia the season,
farmers are not discouraged, as they
expect to make up for the loss largely
py the increased price they hope to
obtain by holding their wheat The
tendency Of wheat to advance In price
has encouraged many Oklahoma farm
ers to take this step.
Last year the freight rates made
export business Improbable but lower
rates put in effect by the railroads to
Galveston and other export points this
year have given this feature OF the
business a big boost. AS result there
is such a demand for good wheat for
export purposes that the millers are
complaining that they cannot get
enough good wheat to keep their mills
going.
Although the wheat harvest has
been over for two months and most OF
the crop is threshed, authorities differ
on the total yield Of wheat In Oklaho-
ma. @. V. Topping, secretary Of the
Oklahoma Millers and Grain Dealers
association, estimates it at 100000
bushels, while J. E. Woodworth,
statisticlan OF the Oklahoma Board Of
Agriculture basing his estimate on
reports received from every township
ia the territory, estimates the total
yield at l0,5OO,OOO bushels. This is a
considerable falling off from the yield
last year, which was $4,000, 900 bushels.
Advertisers win bear in mind that
the circulation of the Daily Chieftain
