Not All for Foraker.

it Will be quite mistake to count all
the veterans for Foraker People are
now more independent, and do not pay
the same regard to the Foraker ma

would like to see Roosevelt take an

Unburied Dead on Battlefield.

Editor National Tribune: Was there
any other battle fought, excepting the
battle of the Wilderness, where neither

soldiers in the Wilderness at the close
of the war, lying just as they fell. They
were soon after buried by our Govern

buried, because both sides moved i'm

PENSIONS NO BURDEN.

| 1t is absolutely necessary every little
while to meet the charge by ill-informet
writers and speakers that pensions arc
a burden upon the people. Every mar
who is properly informed about public
affairs knows that this is not so. but il
makes a delusive theme upon which op-
ponents of pensions, and particular!
the Southern papers and speakers, harp
! to the misinformation of the people
The Southern people have frequent
groans about the immensely of the bur
den which their people pay in pensions
to their "conquerors."
As a matter of fact, the United States
draws its revenues almost wholly from
imposts levied for other purposes thar
revenue. Various interests, economic
and moral, insist upon these taxes being
levied for their purposes The revenue
is not the main thing. but only Incl
dental. For example. all true lovers OF
temperance insist that the production
and sale of liquors, spirituous and malt.
shall be regulated. and the best regula-
ton is by taxation. What the Govern
ment shall do with the money obtained
by this taxation is a matter of compare
tive Indifference. The taxation has
demonstrated its high reguiative value,
and it is difficult to see now how the
country could get along successfully
without this regulation of the liquor
traffic. A like tax is put upon tobacco
for trade and other reasons, and the
strongest advocates of the retention of
the tax are those engaged in the bust
ness. Any attempt to reduce or remove
the tax upon tobacco would be most
strongly resisted by those engaged in
the manufacture and sale. This has
been repeatedly demonstrated when
there have been bills introduced to re-
move the tax upon tobacco, and met
their strongest and most effective re-
sistance from the tobacco men them
selves. From these two sources the
Government last year derived s249, 1872
10S, an immense sum, the most of which
came from the following six States:

INSTANTLY KILLED
Gus Peterson Struck BY Train on
Omaha Track.

Gus Peterson of Mankato was in
stantly killed while walking on the
Omaha track two and half miles east
of Belle Plaine at 2:30 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. He was struck by
Omaha passenger train No. 6, that left
Mankato at about one o'clock.
Mr.. Peterson had been employed by
General Widell in the latter's stone
quarry for years, and had many friends
who will regret his sudden and violent
taking off. He was a single man, and
that he was provident was shown by the
fact that he had several deposit slips on
the First National and National Citi-
zens banks of this city. His parents or
other relatives live at Joliet, Ill, as
nearly as can be learned.
Peterson left yesterday morning on
the Omaha train, and why he was walk
inc on the track east of Belle Plaine is
not known. He was somewhat deaf,
and probably did not hear the train
approaching.
The following is a Belle Plaine dis
patch to The Minneapolis Tribune:
Gust Peterson, laboring man, commit
ten suicide by jumping in front of an
approaching passenger train yesterday
afternoon, in this place.

PARDON OF ANNA IVERSON
Woman Was Sentences But Remain
ed in the Sheriff'S Custody.
From Mondays Daily.

The pardon board on Saturday grant
ed pardon to Mrs. Anna Nerson, the
wife of highly respected farmer liv
ing near st. James, says The st. Paul
Pioneer Press. Her one act of folly
having been forgiven by her husband,
who has taken her back to their home
and three children, and the petition for
the pardon having been signed by the
presiding Judge and a large number of
residents, the pardon board agreed to do
what it could to wipe out the past in
the interest of the home and family.
Mrs. Iverson, who is Il comedy matron
of less than thirty years, was sentenced
to one year in the penitentiary on COM
plant of her husband on charge of
clipping with the hired man. According
to the evidence presented to the board
the marriage was the result of arrange
ments with Mrs. Iverson's parents rath-
er than a love affair, but the married
life lasted for six years, in which time
three children were born. Everything
seemed to be running along smoothly,
her husband being a respected and pros
porous member of the community, but a
short time ago the trouble began. Mrs.
lverson, it is stated, became infatuated
with one Hughson, an employee on the
farm, and she eloped with him, taking
her youngest child, about one year old.
The couple were located in nearby
town and taken back to st. James on
the complaint of the woman's husband.
reconcilement followed, and although
Mrs. lverson, after pleading guilty, was
sentenced to one year imprisonment, the
sentence was suspended pending an APP
peal to the pardon board, in which the
presiding Judge, Loren Cray, joined. In
| the meanwhile Mrs. Iverson. while con-
structively in the custody of the sheriff,
was allowed to return to her home with
her husband and has been living there
since. Hughson also pleaded guilty and
| is now serving a sentence of one year.
Congressman w. S. Hammond of St
James was one of those who appeared
before the board to urge the granting of
| the pardon. The pardon was granted on
! the condition that Mrs. Iverson should
live with her husband and that her con-
duct should be all that is proper for a
wife and mother during the time for
which she was sentenced.

AFTER DAIRYSUPPLIES TRUST
Congressman Tawney and Secretary
Straus Have a Conference.

Washington. June 5.-Earmers and
dairymen in the northwest are interest
ed in a suggestion just made at the de-
partment of commerce for setting in
motion the machinery of the bureau of
corporations to check what is claimed
to be monopolistic action on the part of
dealers in dairy supplies and machinery
utilized in creameries.
Representative Tawney of Minnesota
had conference with Secretary Straus
of the department regarding the subject,
and number of important facts were
brought out tending to indicate that
contracts in restraint of trade, and con-
sequently in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law, are made by large
manufacturing and supply establishment
in Chicago that is said to have the mo-
nopoly in the more important machinery
which enters the creameries in most of
the dairy states of the country.
Facts are brought to the attention of
the department which induce Secretary
Straus to say that the matter will
shortly receive attention at the hands
of the bureau of corporations, and the
! investigation will proceed as soon as
certain work upon which the experts of
the corporation bureau are now employ
ed is out of the way.
A mass of testimony bearing upon al
legged restraint of trade in dairy sup
plies, much of which has been brought
out in patent suits and through letters
written by dairymen who complained
that they are subjected to the monopo-
listic practices of the supply company.
In some instances it is alleged that ma
| chinery which costs SO is sold at from
$500 to 1920, and even when this high
price is paid the articles cannot be OBJ
tanned unless other necessary supplies
for the equipment of the creameries are
| ordered from the houses which have con-
tracted with the owners of the patents
| 1t is these latter contracts that are al
| legged to be in restraint of trade under
| the terms of the antitrust law.
Not only does the system as practiced
subject the dairymen to high prices for
the patented machinery, but an absolute
monopoly of important dairy supplies is
/ lodged in the hands of the Chicago COM
pany.
| The details of the matter now i'm the
| hands of Secretary Straus convince that
official that something should be done
| in the direction of relieving the dairy
men of the country from the effects of
the restraining agreement.

HENRY MEANT JOHNSON
Judge Humphrey So Informed the
Newspaper Men at Washington.

Washington, June 5.-"It is the gen
eral supposition down our way that
Colonel Henry WattersOn had in view
Governor Johnson of Minnesota when he
said he had candidate that could lead
the democrats to victory in 1905" said
Judge Humphrey of Louisville at the
New Willard.
Governor Johnson, it is believed,
comes up to the specifications laid down
by Colonel Watterson He once had a
mustache and his geography accords.
The Minnesota man is also on record
as opposing government ownership of
railroads, but he is also said to be the
pOssessor of a large and varied assert
ment of views on all questions of the
day. Perhaps if he could get as many
votes as he has views he might be able
to prove Colonel Watterson true
prophet"
