Must Take Examination.

The Kansas board of medical ex-
animation and registration voted to
sever all relations with the Missouri
medical board. Hereafter physicians
certificates granted in Missouri will
not be good in Kansas. The Kansas
board contends that the restrictions
are too lax in Missouri to permit young
physicians from their state to practice
in Kansas without an examination.

Use the Split.Log Drag.

This from The Waseca Herald APP
plies to ali sections: The matter OF
good roads ought to receive the most
earnest attention of the people OF this
county early this spring. Every road
district ought to have ''split-loS-
drag or its substitute, and arrange
ments should be made early to use it
upon all roads-especially upon all
main Travelled ones. These drags, If
properly made and handled and used
would keep all our roads in good con-
dition. Good roads will prove to be IL
great saving to all farmers, and the
farmer that does not do what he can
to encourage road making makes a
mistake.
There are many roads in Blue Earth
county that show the good effects OF
the split log drag. This simple de-
vice has been used Oh the highways to
good advantage and has done a great
deal to solve the good roads problem.

where these kind of fish thrive. This

brooks most abound. One shipment is
being made every day. and SO far seven
carloads, or about 100000 brook fry,

earlier than usual. The shipments are
made in cans containing about 1000
trout each. Twenty cans are sent i'll

English Railway Earning S /.

The London Statist, in presenting the
results of the nineteen principal English
railways for the year 1906, as COM
pared with 1905, says that last year
was distinctly good one from the
point of view of gross receipts, and not
unsatisfactory in regard to net earn
ings. There was larger proportionate
increase in expenditure than III gross
receipts.
Railway expenditure in l906 was
affected by the desire of many rail
ways to devote more revenue than
formerly to the Improvement of their
roadways and equipment.
The desire of the companies to meet
the demands made for increased wages
to their employees also helped to swell
expenditures in 1906, arid furthermore
the price of coal and other material
had tendency to advance during the
year.
all the railways serving the great
manufacturing districts of the country
enjoyed very large expansion OF
traffic, and there also was moderate

MONEY FOR THE STATE
More Than Sixty Seven Thousand
From The Government.

Washington March l9.-State Audit
lor ). q. lverson has been notified that
the sum of $67.702 is ready to be paic
to the state of Minnesota on a govern
mcnt warrant.
This is the amount for which MIR
lverson put III claim in December
1905, and represents the interest paid b,
the state Oh an old bond issue of 1862
negotiated by Governor Ramsey, VIII,
went to New York and raised the none,
to equip an expedition against the Sioux
Indians.
The state auditor and Attorney Gen
eral Young, while in Washington look
ing after the claims of the state fol
swamp lands in the Chippewa Indian
reservation, also took up the interest
claim and it was found necessary to get
a bill through congress before anything
could be recovered.
A bill ordering an investigation was
passed and approved on june 80, 1906
ordering an investigation of this claim
and it was found to be just indebted
ness. Mr.. Iverson followed it up close
ly during the last session of congress
and the money was provided for in tho

the interest of this old claim is lik'

Put Young Men in the Senate.

Proceeding from the discussion of the
fitness of candidates for the United
States senate to the consideration of the
public service generally, we hold the no.
ton that it is bad policy to put senile
men into public stations of any sort of
responsibility, says The La Crosse
Chronicle What is needed for the pur-
pose of public administration in these
days is youth and vifility. :.
Nothing else will keep a nation or Il
state or town abreast of the times.
The dim and blood-shot eye, the feeble
limp, the irascible temper that goes
with certain kinds of old age and
the habit of looking backward that is
irresistible when to look forward is to
see the specter of the open grave1these
are all characteristics of the man who is
pitiably out of place in a public office.
We have come upon days when young
and vigorous men, with open minds and
hopeful hearts are needed to carry on
the business of the community. To put
any other sort in the places of RESPONSE
biity and power is to invite stagnation
and to cultivate disaster.
These words are well spoken, and
were no doubt framed because of the
candidacy of Ike Stephenson for the
seat made vacant by the resignation of
Senator John c. Spooner. Mr. Stephen
son is man well along in years. He
possessed the ability to make money,
and this seems to be the basis for
seeking passport into the senate. Wis
consin has been represented in the Uni
ted States senate by men of brains and
brilliancy.
| There was Matthew H. Carpenter,
Timothy o. Howe and long line of
able men whose great work re-
fiected credit on themselves and
the commonwealth. They were chosen
for the high station because they did
possess the ability which ihen should to
represent a people in the upper house of
congress. They were not men of wealth.
In fact they were comparatively poor i'll
purse, but what they lacked in this
worlds goods was. fully made up by a
large supply of that article which is es-
sential in mapping out of laws for a
government of and by the people.
