When papers omit to give credit to
the journals from which they repro
duce articles it should not always be
attributed to desire on the part OF
the editors to steal or plagiarize.
Carelessness or neglect to add the cred
it line is ofttimes responsible. We will
take for example the "bird' editorial
reproduced in the Saltwater MESSENGER
from the Union, word for word.
without credit, or the Gottwerth fish,
ing story, locally adapted and printed
in the Bemidji Pioneer from the same
source. Now, here are two reliable
papers, and to accuse their editors OF
appropriatlng articles with an intent
to steal would be wrong. altogether

Mr.. Perks seems to have solved the

that during the entire period of the
corporations existence strike has
been unknown among it's employees.
How he averted strikes Mr.. Perks did

every time an advance in wages was
demanded it was granted.

Speaking of the power of legisla-
lures to fix railroad rates the Com
mercial West says:
The courts have reached the ulti-
mate conclusion that legislatures
have power to fix railroad rates, but
that herates fixed mAst be reason
able, and the courts are arbiters OF
the question what is r. sonable rate,
Courts as a rule accept analysis in
order to decidewhat is Reasonable
rate. But as experts disagree, Judge
Mcpherson tries the expedient of a
ninety-day practical trial IS settle the
question of the reasonableness of the
Missouri two-cent passenger 4Fate.
The next question which arises: is,
whether ninety days is a sufficient
period to give the proposition a fair
trial. However, Judge Mcpherson
has set new and interesting prec-
edent in court practice, and that IS,
to make practical test of an act in
stead of rendering an opinion on a
rough estimate based on a prior
reasoning; all of which shows that
this is getting to be very practical
world, even in matters pertaining to
the dignity of the judicial ermine.

THURSDAY, JULY q !, 100 8 g

Promoters Of air line electric rail-
ways have thoroughly worked the
cities and are now devoting their at
tention to the rural districts. ssFirst
allotments have. been Aoversub-
scribed more than SO per cent, y and
now "second allotments" are offered
at Is cents on the dollar. In other
words, 1925 will purchase a share of
the par value of 500, and the public
have the assurance of the promoters
that $500 invested now will be worth
$500 two years from July l, 1907"
The smooth promoters also assure the
public that there will be no ''watered
stock" and yet stock is offered for 20
cents on the dollar-SO per cent water!
The Union has warned its readers
on numerous occasions to beware of
these get-rich-quick schemes. Think
twice and then think again and do a.
little investigating before purchasing
any electric railway stock.

Ex-senator Stockwell of Minneapo-
lis in a caustic. letter to Governor
johnson severely criticises several of
his recent appointments, especially
that of Pierce Butler to the board of
regents of the state university. Mr..
Stockwell tells the governor that "the
railroads already had one regent and
there was certainly no reason for the
selection of another railroad attor-
ney." But Mr.. Stockwell forgets that
Mr.. Butler and numerous other rail-
road attorneys stumped the state for
Mr.. Johnson in 1894. Mr.. Stockwell
also plainly intimated to the governor
that he and his appointees cannot
serve the people and the corporations
at the same time.

A story comes from Washington
that Colonel Cocktails, engineer in
charge of the Panama canal construc-

work. AS Colonel Cocktails is an
army engineer it cannot be that he
has been offered a better position by

said of other chief engineers who have
resigned. Difficulty follows difficulty
in digging the Isthmian ditch, but, as
President Roosevelt is said to have
exclaimed, eff every d man on the
job quits we'll cut that channel Just

A Valuable Manuscript,

Captain Theodore E. Potter. now a
resident of Lansing, Mich, but one of
the early settlers of Minnesota, has
presented to the Minnesota State His
torical society manuscript of eighty
typewriter pages relating his expert
ence in Minnesota in its territorial
period and the early time of it's state
hood. a. - =
Captain Potter's manuscript is
highly priced by the historical society
as. a valuable contribution = to the
written history of Minnesota, as it
deals with the events of his military
service Immediately following the
Observation-Disclosures massacre in 1857,
and the defense of New Ulm, in which
ne took a prominent part.
Captain Potter was severely
wounded in battle with the Indians
at New Ulm, but in spite of his inju-
rles he rode through the country from
New Ulm to Mankato, and from there
to Waseca to assure the white settlers
that the Indians had been subdued.
With his written narrative of his
military experience Captain Potter
has presented to the society portrait
OF himeslf at the age of IS years, and
ne has promised to send an album of
photographs of the members of Com
pany G., Eleventh Minnesota volun-
teers, OF which he was a member.

Although Hartman has de6ed laws
OF the United States with impunity he
discovered to his chagrin that he
could not violate the rules of the
Yale-Harvard race course and escape
without punishment. For such VIOLA
ton the multimillionaire was uncere-
moniously dragged from his motor
boat and made prisoner on the
revenue cutter Gresham, where he
could see little or nothing of the
races. The penalty for an infringe
ment of the racecourse rules is fine
of $500. While the fine is but a baga-
telle to Hartman, the disgrace of ar
rest will probably teach him a lesson.

''Why do some farmers sell their
lands in productive Minnesota-leave
their pretty homes among the trees, the
hills and streams and settle upon the
barren plains of Canada?" asks a
contemporary. Farmers who move
from Minnesota into Canada are usu-
ally induced to take that step by the
glowing advertisements write-ups-in
the American press paid for by Can
adam land-sharks. These write-ups
invariably misrepresent' conditions in
the Canadian northwest and the
farmer, without -, due investigation,
embraces the alleged inducements
therein offered. A large percentage
of the farmers, however, sooner or
later return to Minnesota, but there
are many among them who have not
the money to do so. Farmers contem-
plating selling their lands in Minne-
sofa, where total failure of crops is
unknown, should think twice, and then
three or four times more, before
carrying into effect such contempla-
ton. They can never, after living
for years among the trees, the hills,
the dales and streams of Minnesota,
content themselves upon trackless
plain where tree is curiosity.

Mr.. McCleary, in his capacity OF

Why should Frank Day deny his
Omaha interview in which he stated

that the interests opposed to Bryan

Colonel Nef of the Lake Crystal
Union believes, as do many others,
that the game and fish laws are a
farce. In the last issue of his paper
he says:
There is no argument whatever in
favor Of the game and fish laws as
they now exist. Those whom they
favor have no kick coming. The pub.
lie, the taxpayers, have. In the sweet
bye and bye new deal will be made.
The farmers will prohibit any city
hunter from coming on their farms.

While trusts in Europe are not
nearly so numerous as in America
they are on the increase. The latest
combination to come into existence is

Germ, with a capital stock of s13O, 000,-
900, has been launched in Great
Britain and it's object is to control the

Now that the state entomologist has

The real green bug is said to be an

is necessary to determine it's individu-
