Knitter's Romance,

Romance may certainly figure in
many of the knitted waistcoats and
gorgeous stockings worn by our under
graduates to-day, but these have not
SO romantic an origin as the first of
these articles produced in this coun-
try, says the London Chronicle. For
tradition has it that William Lee, who
in the sixteenth century invented the
knitting frame on which both stock
ings and waistcoats we're produced
mechanically, was driven to this piece
of ingenuity by the cruel flouting of
the lady he loved, who happened to be
a stocking knitter.
Enraged at his failure to make an
impression on her heart, he sought to
make 1T on her purse by killing her
means of LIVELIHOOD; and one is glad
to read that all stocking makers COM
bined to frustrate his cruel purpose,
with the result that he fled with his
invention to France, where he finally
died of broken heart, whether for
love of his lady or of his spoiled in
ventlon, tradition does not say.

There is some talk of effecting a
compromise with the railways on
the rate question. The railroads are
said to have offered to make a 219
cent rate, and to sell 500-mile milage
books at $40. good for any member
of the family, also to sell l000-mile
books good on any road in the state
at 500. The offer is certainly a
liberal one, and rather than have a
long drawn out suit in the courts
with the chances of being knocked
out we believe the legislature would
be Justified in accepting the offer,
which is practically two cent rate
to all who use 500 miles year or
more, and for those who use less, a
215 cent rate would be no hardship
whatever.

A little excitement was reported
in Wall street the other day. A few
speculators in railway securities are
alleged to have had some losses. A
little water may have been squeezed
out Of some stocks, that were too
abnorma]ly diluted, but that is all.
The country as a whole took no
notice of the furry in the street and
business went on just the same.
The panic it would appear was pre-
arranged for a purpose, and that pur-
pose evidently was to make the state
legislatures in a number Of western
states relent their drastic legislation
for the control of railways, especially
as to a two-cent fare. When the OBJ
ject became known the country re-
fused to become excited. The nice
little scheme failed to work.

The investigation carried on
by Mr.. Robertson's special COM
mittee appointed to look into the
question of excessive charges by the
express companies doing business in
Minnesota has already resulted in
much good. The investigation be-
came so interesting for the express
companies that they voluntarily,
thru their officers, agreed to reduce
their rates rs per cent. This means
a whole lot to people who are obliged
to have articles shipped to them by
express, but MIR. Robertson, who is
an active young worker from Mar
shall county, doesn't propose that
the investigation shall stop on the
voluntary reduction of rates. He
insists that the companies must keep
in a public place their schedule of
rates, and it has been announced
that such a procedure would also be
accepted by the companies in very
short time. Still further reduction
will in nowise injure the COM
panies, and he proposes to ascertain
if such is not the case, and if 50 to
have bill passed that will bring
about the reduction. He is aggers-

The way lumber prices have ad-
vanced in recent years, owing to the
depletion of our forests, ought to be
sufficient to start a mighty move
ment for re-forestat1on. Not only
have the lumber prices gone up so as
to make building operations almost
prohibitive, but the quality of the
lumber has also deteriorated.
Lumber that now sells for first grade
would hardly have passed for third
ten or fifteen years ago. At all the
saw mills in the state little insight
tcant logs that a few years ago would
have been rejected are now converted
in to lumber and every bit utilized
for some purpose. The merchantable
pine in the state will be all exhaust
ed in a very few years. In view of
these facts, it seems to us that more
attention ought to be paid to re-
planting the pine forests and per-
petuating the supply. The lumber
man with his ak can destroy a
magnificent grove of stately pine in
few days, trees which has required
years, yes centuries to grow. The
present generation is not doing it's
duty to posterity if it persists in rob-
bing the forests without making any
provision for replenishing the supply.
Not only should the state go extern
sively into the scheme of re-foresta-
tion, but individuals everywhere
ought to take up the work. Every
farmer ought to have several acres
of trees growing on his place. 1T is
a slow crop, but as the years roll by
it would become more and more
valuable for fuel and building
material. ST..
