SHOULD NOT HALTER

The fear entertained by the Juneau Dispatch that soap judgment may be taken at the Juneau convention and Delegate Thomas Gale become the loser Of his delegateship, through nomlnat- ing the delegate a, the coming conven- tiou iustead of at one that should be held next summer, is groundless. In the first place, the delegates at the coming convention represent all Alaska republicans, except the democrats who were elected by the TreadweIl Mine and Governor Hoggatt at Juneau, and why should they not name the dele gate now as we'll as next summer? IT Governor Hoggatt has the strength in the convention, let him rule, but 1T, on the other hand, the lovers Of freedom, the people who are making Alaska the taxpayers who are for territorial government-should have the power to control the convention, and it looks now as if there was DO question hut what they had, then let them poss such resolutions as cannot fail to show Gov eruor Hoggott in his true light, and provide for their reaching the Presi- dents eye. When that is cone they can do no more and no more will be necessary. The fight has begun and no whimper should be made by men who have gone in with eyes open, The President in the past has acted on much less ground than can be shown in the case of Alaska and he will, iu all like lihOOd, act again.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO

Their .UuooRsing Work Koops Us
 Strong and Healthy
 All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes The kidneys filter the blood. They work day and night. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some of this impure matter is left in the blood. This brings On many diseas' sS and ymptOmS-pain in the back, ! FeadacEe, nervousness, rheumatism, 2 out, gravel, disorders Of the sight and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, de- bility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits iu the urine, etc. But if you keep the il- ters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.

REDDLERS

This newspaper cares naught for street ,knockers" nor for that element Of local leaders who discuss the short comings of others when guzzliug high balls in back rooms of saloons. Of as little consequence is the prattle of hun dred dollar a month clerks, Flamboy- ant as may be the statement as to what certain people will do with other peo- pie in the matter of wrecking ven geance for presumed in-treatment is Of DO concern to this page, The cOntrc- versy that this newspaper may have with corporatioDs or their agents should not be meddled with by those whom the outcome ir no manner ei iects, However, those people who, through uncontrolled desire to attend, to other peoples business, may get mixed up iu lhe matter, if they so de- sire, but should they in turn later be come offended at treatment they may receive for having done so, they will have none but themselves to blame. When one makes their own bed they certainly should not be averse to occu- pying it.

obaldeau said to himself: "Go to, Il will arise and start bank. And all Babylon shall come to me with their moneys aud shall make unto me a de- poslt and | shall become rich iD the land and peradventure may be able to buy a chariot of are-yea, even 4O- borss power chariot with limousine body.
 And Uz, the chaldeau, went forth and did open up his bank. And the people of Nineveh marveled among themselves and said; Surely this Is ln the nature of a snap. We shall receive pay for our money and it shall be safe from the cOvetousness Of the Hittites, and the shalmanItes, and the Amele- kites and the Caledonytes, and the Fleabites, aud the skyIites." " And they came, yea, even a great multitude, and brought with them gold a-plep,y.
 And, behold, Nebuchadnezzar had gold beyond measure. For he had had taIkings and argument with rich trader rom the East and had put the screws to him yea, even the thumb screws. And he said to himself; "Go to, I will make a deposit in this new fangled concern around the corner, and I shall wax rich, yea, passing rich shall I wax" And he made quick hike and deposited ninety talents of silver, and of irankinceuse and myrrh, a hundred weight, and of sbittim wood, four cords.
 And Uz, the Cha'dean prospered ex- ceedingly and rode about in his chariot, and drd break the speed laws in divers places. And he built him great mansion of olive wood and precious stones. Yea, verify, he was the real thing in Nineveb.
 And his glory grew, and his wife arrayed herself in purple and fine cloth and did look upon the people with an eyeglass tied to a stick.
 Then said Ncbuchadnezzar one day: 'verily, this man Uz seemeth to be a prosperous cuss. Shall my talents Of gold and my shittim wood buy the gas olIne for his chariot, while I am scratching like sixty to pay of the millinery bill for the royal harem |? Go to, I will arise and draw out few bushels of chicken feed."
 Add be arose and took with him his hand maidens, and his OK, and his ass, and went to Uz of the Cbaldeans, And, behold, upon the door of the bank there was parchment, And upon the parch- ment was the inscription:
 This Bank is Closed"
 Then did Nebuchadnezzer weep with a loud wailing and rend his garment, and pluck out his beard. And he dispatch ed sherias and men at arms after Uz, Of the ChaIdeans; but they found him not. For he had departed into a far country-eveE unto Candia which lieth iu the Mediterranean and had no ex- tradition laws,
 And Nebuchadnezzar was exceeding wrOth, and tLere were no more banks iu Nineveh-Nay, in the whole of Babylon were there no more banks for a whole generation.

MUST DO THEIR SHARE.
Counties Cannot Draw From State
Fund Without Obeying Law.

c. S. Jelley, special counsel for the
attorney general, has forwarded to
George w. Cooley, secretary of the state
highway commission, written opinion
as to the disposal of unexpected appro-
priations by the state to the several
counties for road purposes. He holds
that it is the duty of the county to
improve the roads and eXpend an
amount equal to the allowance of the
state apportionment before being en-
titled to that sum, and no county Is
entitled to recover its apportionment in
cash or to have the amount remain to
its credit after the close of the fiscal
year, unless it makes the necessary road
improvements within the year for which
the apportionment is made and such fact
is certified to the highway commission
within the proper time.

Secretary of State and Pres
ident at Outs.
ELIHU MAY LEAVE CABINET
He Was Surprised That the Executive
Gave Publicity TO Letters on
the Hartman Matter.

Washington, April 30-The growing
estrangement between President Roose-
welt and Secretary Root was heightened
when the full correspondence regarding
the suggestion that +. H. Hartman take
financial interest in the last campaign
was made public. Mr.. Root urged the
president not to give out the letter
written to Sherman, of the republican
congressional committee, in which he
characterized Hartman, Debs, Meyer
and Haywood as undesirable citizens p
He considered this a tremendous blum
der. He had previously counseled the
president not to send the letter to Mir.
Sherman, being apprehensive that it
would sooner or later become public.
The president disagreed with Mr.. Root
and refused to follow his advice, and
he pursued his own course, having no
opportunity to consult with Secretary
Taft, who was then in Panama.
Mr. Root is credited with having been
surprised beyond measure when the
president scattered broadcast an an
nouncement of the alleged conspiracy
among rich men to overthrow him and
his policies. Mr.. Root was not taken in
to the presidents confidence regarding
his course in this matter, and the an
nouncement from the White House
came as a sudden and severe shock. He
regarded the presidents action as I'M
wise if not foolish. Mr.. Root more fully
than the president realizes the availa-
bility of rich men and corporations when
it comes to raising funds for great
national campaign. He knows that the
hostility of capital and the expenditure
of money in opposition is a serious
handicap to success.
Secretary Root is known to be out OF
tune with many of the presidents radi-
cal policies. The secretary is inclined to
conservatism, especially where wealth
and corporations are concerned, and does
not believe capital should be too closely
crowded even if the result be popular
approval from the masses.
If Mr.. Root leaves the cabinet his re-
tirement will be chiefly attributed to the
dislike of his wife and daughters for
life in this city. They have always pre-
ferred New York as a residence and
care nothing for the social side of az
fairs here. They would at any time
welcome a return to their old home.

FARM LABORERS SCARCE
Several Thousand Of Them Wanted in
North Dakota.

From tuesdays Daily.
Farm laborers are scarce in North Da-
kota Several thousand are wanted.
This is the cry from all over North
Dakota now and the situation is be-
coming more acute daily. The belated
spring has made conditions binding, as
the farmers must now ruch their work
in order to get in the crop.
In many places teams are standing
idle for lack of men to drive them. I'm
less immediate relief can be secured,
there will be great decrease in wheat
acreage. The farmers have endeavored
to get men from the usual sources from
which they are supplied, but find that,
owing to the general prosperity, there
are fewer Nmen available, and because
of the rate legislation the railroads
will not reduce rates as an inducement
for men to come to this territory. The
conditions are such that farmers are
with the necessity of more
forms of Investigation, so laboring
men can be employed all the year and
be here when wanted.

CHARGED WITH ROBBERY
Nicollet County Authorities Have
Peculiar Case on Haud.

from saturdays Daily
Fred Phillips and c. F. Brooks, farm
ers, the former living near Lake Jeffer-
son and the latter near Scotch Lake.
have been lodged in the Nicollet county
Jail at st. Peter charged with highway
robbery. They were arrested on COM
plant of James Ross and their case. which
is somewhat complicated, is one of the
most peculiar that has ever come under
the observation of the local authorities.
According to the story told by Ross,
he purchased a horse from Mrs. Phil.
lips, and brought the animal to st. Pc
ter. A few hours later Phillips and
Brooks went to his home, forcibly took
the horse from him and also relieved
him of $33 in cash and gold watch He
swore out warrant for their arrest.
and they were brought to st. Peter yes
terday morning by Sheriff Aug. Olson.
When they were placed in the county
jail, Phillips and Brooks lodged counter
charges against Ross. They declare that
he attempted to assault Mrs. Phillips.
and deny that they are guilty of the
robbery.

OBJECTIONS FILED
Will Of the Late Dorothea E. Frey Is
to Be Contested.

When the hearing on the will of the
late Dorothea +. Frey came up in the
probate court this forenoon, objections
to the will being admitted to probate
were filed by two of the grandchildren,
Albert Lortz and Annie Weber. They
claimed that the will was not properly
or lawfully executed, that the deceased
was not of sound and disposing mind or
memory and not legally capable of max
ing a will, that the purported execu-
ton of the proposed will was obtained
by fraud and undue influence, and that
the deceased was laboring under a de-
fusion that her daughter, Dorothea B.
Lortz, was still living and that she had
fully provided for her, whereas. she had
been dead more than a year and the
mother had attended the funeral and
had full knowledge of the death, and
had never made provision for the de-
ceased or her children as claimed.
Pau & Pau and Thomas Hughes APP
peared for the contestants, and the hear
ing was continued until May a. A lively
contest is expected, and there was a
good attendance of interested parties at
the hearing today.

INSTRUCTIONS ARRIVE.
Two. Gent Passenger Fares to Golnto
Effect Next Wednesday.
From SATURDAYS Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The travelling passenger agents of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road are
visiting the different stations along the
line and instructing the local agents in
regard to the two-cent passenger fare
law and the regulations that have fol-
lowed its adoption by the road. All ex-
cursion. rates, party-rates, and nearly all
half fare rates are to be cut Off Clergy
men and Sisters of Charity will find
that they must pay full fare hereafter,
but this will be but half cent mile
more than they have been paying, and
it is felt that this will not prove hard
ship for them.
Mileage books that are sold before
May l will be good over all the line, but
those sold subsequently will be honored
only on interstate trips. Excess bag
gage rates will remain the same as here
to fore.
The new tariff sheets on Interstate
business may not be out for several
weeks. The other agents expect simil-
ar instructions.

THIRD CROP REPORT
Conditions Are Most Excellent Along
the Northwestern Road.

The third crop report covering condi-
tiOns west of Winona along the line of
the Chicago & Northwestern road has
been issued. 1t is as follows:
Since the last report we have had a
general rain in South Dakota, turning
from rain to snow over part of the ter
ritory. 1t was not sufficient to retard
seeding progress which is now rapidly
reaching its conclusion, and it is safe
to state at this time that small grain
seeding is completed with the exception
of the Northern Sioux Valley, in the vi.
entity of WATERFOWL, and some points
east of Owatonna.
All things considered the past week
has been favorable; the first few days
being warm and pleasant, fine growing
weather, followed by the rains and
snow and colder, and Is now gradually
coming off warm, which with the rain
and warmer weather will start growing
crops in excellent shape.
With small grain seeding completed
during the month of April, it is safe to
state that the season is about two weeks
in advance of year ago. This will in
sure a full acreage as at first predicted.

Big Secretary May Attend
the Big Show.
WILL DELIVER AN ADDRESS.
II. f. Burton Is to Repre-
sent Him i'm the Contest With
Foraker of Ohio.

Washington, April 25.-Since the re.
turn of the Taft party from Panama it
has been decided that Congressman r.
f. Burton of Cleveland will be the chief
spokesman for Taft in the Ohio cam
paign. Mr. Taft himself will hold aloof
from the controversy in accordance with
his view of the dignity which should
surround a presidential candidate.
As Senator Foraker will make issues
of railroad legislation and the Browns
vile affair, so will the secretary at some
time between now and the first of Sep
TENDER deliver a speech on these sub
iects. They will not be in Ohio, how.
ever, but probably in Minnesota and
Iowa, and will be delivered from the
standpoint of the defense of the ad-
ministration, and not as coming from a
presidential candidate.
Secretary Taft may visit Minnesota at
the opening of the state fair next Sep
TENDER.
By this course Secretary Taft will not
only preserve his dignity as a candidate,
but will defend his policies, and viii so
closely identify himself with the course
of the administration that no one else
can claim the support of the president
in the national convention.
By declining to engage personally in a
rough and tumble fight for favor of the
Buckeye state, Secretary Taft leaves
open the possibility of going into the
convention without the Ohio delegation.
Should Foraker win out in the Ohio
primaries, Taft would still Be strong in
other states, and while his candidacy
would be handicapped, his friends, and
particularly Representative Burton, be-
,lieTe he would still be- in the running,
Secretary Taft is expected to repudi-
ate the inference given in statement
made public by his brother, Charles p.
Taft, to the effect that the secretary
would be Il candidate for the senate
against Foraker.
Some believe that Representative Bur-
ton will soon announce his candidacy for
the senate to succeed Foraker, and
couple that fight with the Taft cam
paign in Ohio.
In answer to specific question as to
whether he intended to make any an
Nouncement in the near future regard.
ing his political purposes, Secretary Taft
yesterday said that he certainly would
make no such statement before his Ohio
trip next Friday, and he was not pre-
pared to state whether or not he would
have anything to say after that trip
