TAKE TARIFF OUT OF POLITICS,

The constant dropping of water
will wear away the rocks, and the
constant agitation in favor of tariff
revision will cause congress to bestir
itself and respond to the call of the
people There is demand that the
tariff be taken out of politics, that
the business interests of the country
be permitted to settle the question.
That being the sentiment in CONNER
cial circles, it is not an unreasonable
request that congress empower the
president to name commission which
will give the subject its individual at
tention.
The business interests of the country
are rapidly uniting in demanding that
''tariff tinkering' along the old lines
be supplanted by modern methods.
They know what they want and they
propose to ask for it.
They anticipate opposition from old
line politicians all of whom will glibly
tell you why the permanent COM
mission plan is impractical or in
fringes upon congressional preroga-
tives.
However, an awakened public con-
science will in the end enforce a more
business-like way of approaching this
matter. Attention is invited to the
discussion of this subject presented in
this bulletin. The arguments are
convincing.
Representative Halvor Stevenson has
had his ear to the ground and has
heard the rumbling. He will introduce
bill in congress calling for the APP
pointment of commission of experts
to revise the tariff. Revision, in the
opinion of Mr. STEVENSON, must come,
and the preliminary steps should be
taken now so that the country will
know long enough ahead to prepare
for it.

WHO'S WHO IN MINNESOTA?

This is an interesting story tele-
graphed from Washington to The
Minneapolis Journal: Washington poll
ticians are wondering if serious eff
fort is to be made to carry the Min
nesota delegation to the republican
national convention for Governor
Hughes.
I'm this mornings eastern papers
there is a special dispatch from ST..
Paul saying that several state SEN
ators held meeting there yesterday
to consider the states choice and af-
ter searching themselves concluded
that Minnesota republicans are for
Hughes and not for Taft or for Roose
welt.
at is said here that this may be
the beginning of systematic Hughes
movement in the northwest, and it is
regarded as being such by many men
who are close to the president
at is known here that the interests
that are supporting Hughes have
planned to begin in many of the states
movement similar in form to that
reported to having been made in St.
Paul yesterday. It is known that that
movement does not have white house
sanction"
Naturally the people of Minnesota
will inquire into the right of a
number of state senators or any other
clique who presume to dictate what
kind of a delegation shall be sent to
the republican national convention.
The republican party as a whole will
select the delegates and express a
preference for the nomination. Out up
on bossism and dictation.

LET THE LIGHT SHINE.

1t will not be very long before the
farmers will use electric lights in
their houses and barns" remarked
one of them yesterday. That gentle
man is not making wild prediction.
There is no reason why those farmers
who live along the electric railways
should not enjoy the luxury of cleo
trio lights. With very little expense
the system could be introduced. mis-
same gentlemen remarked that once
electricity does take its place in the
household of those who live in the
country districts. John d. Rockefeller's

According to an investigation of can
neries in the state, just completed by
the state dairy and food department
there is heavy falling off in the
number in operation this year. The
decrease is over one third.
Last year twenty-three cameries
were credited to Minnesota. All the
department can find in operation this
year sffteen. And with the decrease
in the number has also followed a
fall in the output of canned goods.
In 1906, 1892, 100 cans of farm product
were turned out. This year the number
is only 4,S2l,450.
OF corn, only 2,9SS,55O cans were
turned out, against 5,455,000 last year.
There has been slight increase in
the number of cans of string beans
and peas.

George Lawson, while walking be-
low the iron bridge leading to kasota
on Monday last, discovered the lower
law with four teeth intact in a slough
opposite the home of Andrew Aim.
The next day, accompanied by DIR.
Powell, he went to the slough and
made a search, hoping to find the
skeleton to which the jaw belonged,
but the search was in vain. The doc
tor and Mr.. lawson came to the
conclusion that the jaw had been
brought down the current hanging on
a piece of wood and finally was drop
ped where it was found and it was
not buried in either mud or sand.
1t undoubtedly belonged to some poor
unfortunate, either accidentally drown
ed or perhaps suicided and was never
found or heard of afterwards.

The Mapleton Enterprise has this
to say of the late Isaac Z. Wheeler:
Isaac Wheeler was good citizen
and an old soldier. He served his
country as member of company l.
ninety-ffth Illinois Volunteers and at
ter the close of the war came to Min
nesota and for while worked for
Martin Pratt of Sterling. He was err
ratio and peculiar to remarkable de-
gree. vet we doubt if Mr.. Wheeler
ever did any man any great injustice.
He was honest, paid his debts, and
while penurious he had his good traits,
one of which was to remember his
aged father and mother with a beau
tiful monument. This was erected in
the Sterling cemetery only last week.
The deceased was about sixty-four
years of age. He was born in Canada,
his father being Vermonter, and his
mother an English woman. Being
set in his way Mr.. Wheeler Guilt
waited very few friends and went. out

Coroner Kennedy went to Lake
Crystal this morning and investigated
the death of William Addleman, who
was found dead in Butternut Valley
yesterday. He found the circumstances
to be substantially as stated by The
Free Press yesterday. Addleman was
walking with his nine year old nephew,
and suddenly fell forward on his face.
The lad ran as fast as he could and
told his mother, who was not great

the aid of her brother in law, but he
was dead when she arrived.
The coroner decided that no inquest
was necessary, and returned home this
noon.

afternoon when he was arraigned at
80 o'clock before Judge Comstock on

him so that he could scarcely sleep

Late Tuesday afternoon Charles
Ward, a well-to-do farmer residing
just north of Waseca, while working
in a gravel pit got both legs broken,
one at the knee and the other at the
ankle, by the cave-in of the wall
of the pit. The mass of frozen earth
crushed him against the wagon, and
his son, the only one, with him, had
great difficulty in extricating him and
taking him to the house. He still
suffers great pain from the fractures
and internal injuries. The physician
who set the broken bones says that
Mr.. Ward ought to recover in good
shape.
