King Fredrick departed on the Oath
inst. for Iceland. The first stop will be
made at the Farce islands. Thence
the trip goes direct from the Farce ISL
ands to Reykjavik. The king will
remain in Iceland a month. He will
be accompanied by Prince Herald,
Premier Christensen. Justice Adler
and a number Of scientists. The fol-
lowing editorial in the Minneapolis
Journal explains the kings purport in
visiting the Danish possessions in de-
tail: "The interesting announcement
is made that the king of Denmark will
visit Iceland in an effort to fan the
dying flame Of love for the mother
country. Encouraged by the success
Of the separation movement in Nor
way, the 1celanders have become in
sp1red with ambition for practical in
dependence from Denmark. The
union is Of little benefit to them, either
commercially or politically, and al
though Denmark has made every effort
to keep the islanders contented, even
going so far as to invest the Icelandic
a!thing or parliament with plenary
powers, the sentiment for separation
mas grown apace. Its latest phase has
been the demand for a distinctive
1celandic flag. The separationists
claim that Iceland is not rightfully the
dependency of the state of Denmark
but is rather an appanage of the
crown, so that the monarch's title
should be king Of Denmark and Ice
land.' In language and blood and
history Iceland is more closely allied
to Norway than Denmark. The island
was originally settled by the Nor
wegians and it is there that the old
Morse language is preserved in it's
greatest purity. Iceland, too, is the
treasure house Of Morse literature, the
lcelandic sagas being the most import
ant relics of it's medieval 1orescence,
But. like Norway, Iceland passed into
Danish control by the treaty of Calmar
in 1880, and there it has remained.
Danish craftsmanship is likely to be
severely tested by the 1celandic prob
lem. King Fredericl1's decision to visit
the island looks like a good stroke,
similar to King Edwards recent visit
TO Ireland. The islanders will doubt
less be impressed by the opportunity
to see real king at short range, but
the threat to fly the Icelandic flag on
all the public buildings during his visit
looks rather defiant

COMMON SENSE

Leads most intelligent people to use only
medicines of known composition. There
fore it is that Dr. Pierce's medicines, the
makers of which print every ingredient
entering into them upon the bottle wrap
pers and attest its correctness under oath,
are daily growing in favor. The COM
position of DR.. Pierce's medicines is open
to verybody, DR.. Pierce being DESTROYS
of having the search light of investiga-
ton turned fully upon his formula, being
confident that the better the composition
of these medicines is known the more
will their great curative merits be recog-s
nized. Being wholly made of the active
medicinal principles extracted from ma
tive forest roots, by exact processes
original with DR. Pierce, and without the
use of drop of alcohol, triple-refned and
chemically pure glycerine being used in
stead in extracting and preserving the
curative virtues residing in the roots
employed, these medicines are entirely
free from the objection of doing harm
by creating an appetite for either al
cohollc beverages or habit forming
drugs. Examine the formula on their
bottle wrappers-the same as sworn to by
DR.. Pierce, and you will find that his

for reasons that are obvious. That IS
where a ssrailroad" committee came
in handy. If you have not forgotten
the very instructive incident you will
remember that the House Committee
on railroads, ssindefnitely postponed"
all the two-cent fare bills introduced,
and submitted one of their own-with
woodchuck in it. These things are
made certain, or possible according to
the character of the man who is
chosen speaker.
Then too, the irregular" represen-
tatives are safer from exposure with
a political friend at the helm. If an
investigation should be ordered at any
time thespeaker always has the power
of appointing withdrawing COM
mittee to conduct the inquiry. The
"paint" incident is an example. do
not vouch for its truth, but as the
story was told about the capitol, two
ingenious gentlemen concocted
scheme to hold up the paint trust.
One of the leg pulling artists was
member of the house, the other the
legal representative of the paint
people. The latter had bill drawn
and introduced which hit the paint
concern hard. This trust discovered
the situation and, according to ex-
pectations, "arranged' with the at
torney to kill the bill. The killing as
the story runs, was accomplished
through the house member, and the
pair are supposed to have profitted
quite handsomely. But the house
scented the scandal and it became
necessary to still the ugly rumors
through an official inquiry. The
speaker appointed Careful COM
mittee and here is their report:
eve have investigated the said
insinuated charges and found them
not substantiated by any evidence
offered before the committee, nor
was there any evidence that could
be construed as in any manner re-
fecting upon the integrity or honor
of any member of the house."
So the matter was dropped forever
unless choose to discuss it more
fully later. Leg-pulling is a very
common and profitable pastime for
certain class of law givers, but is likely
to develop into an exciting and even
dangerous game-without safe and
trusty man at the handle of the huge
whiteWash brush.

SOME PHASES OF THE SPEAKERSHIP
CONTEST.

SOME PHASES OF THE SPEAKERSHlP
CONTEST.
In view of the fact that this official
in command of the combine crowd
would be the key to the situation and
that the session was certain to be char
acterized by a contest for supremacy
between the corporations and the
people, it was only natural that the
the interests should take a deep and
diplomatic concern in the selection of
of the speaker. They had much at
stake and it is not difficult to under
stand something of their activity in
the contest to decide who should pos
sess the powers and privileges of the
position. The people merely looked
on "with eyes fuller of love than of
understanding"
There were six men in the field as
candidates for speakers, but only three
were prominent in the race. These
we're: L. H. johnson of Minneapolis,
Ambrose Tighe of St. Paul and A. j.
Rockne of Zumbrota. The two last
named were men whom the corpora
tions were afraid to trust in so power
full a position. Mr.. Tighe never ap-
peared very formidable for the reason
that he had not been member at the
previous session and was not well
known to the newer representatives,
and in addition he was the very kind
of candidate that the city press would
not advertise. But it was different
Mr.. Rockne. He had maEy elements
of strength and it was to accomplish
his defeat that things were "framed'
up with Lawrence H. johnson in the
limelight.
To be frank, perhaps brutally frank,
Mr.. Johnson was the corporation cam
didate for speaker. He may or may
not have been per 5onally re-
sponsible for the fact that ne was
pushed into the position by COM
bination of interests, but the truth
remains that these interests were back
of him and that he could hardly have
been successful without their aid.
AS the shrewd political experts of
the corporations saw the situation
there were really but two candidates,
johnson and Rockne. From their
view point one was a man to be trusted,
the other to be feared. The case was
serious and scheming became neces-
sary. Scheming for the corporations
is the chief vocation of Senator e. E.
Smith of Minneapolis. This Estates
MANI is notorious as the head of the
combine crowd in the legislature. His
record is openly corporation colored
and even tho he should desire to deny
the imputation, the official facts would
plainly prove that he represents the
interests first, last and in the interim.
He is their recognized leader. The
fact that Senator Smith is an ac-
complished manipulation would not IN
itself be pertinent to this story. But
his connection with the speakership
contest is interesting and instructive.
He was virtually manager of the john
son campaign, and with the situation
in his hands subsequent events devel-

Johnson. The records of the tele-
phone companies show how many
long distance talks turnout the state.
The interests never put themselves
on record on writing.
Another specific instance of cor
poration support for Mr.. johnson is
supplied in the history of the effort OF
the Twin City Rapid Transit Company
in his behalf. On the day before the
primary election the street car COM
pany procured several thousand cop
les of the Minneapolis Tribune, each
of which contained sample of the
official ballots. Out of these papers
they cut the portion containing the
ballots and after being marked to in
dictate the candidates for whom they
wished their men to vote; these were
given to the employees as they left
work on the evening before election.
Tee name of L. HI. johnson was
among those checked. Some of the
street car barns were in Johnson's
district.
Whether or not Mr.. johnson openly
solicited such general support from
the interests is a question which I
shall not attempt to answer. What
will concern the public more is how
he discharged the debt of gratitude,
incurred either consciously Or uncon-
sciously.
SETTING THE MACHINERY IN MOTION.
Permit me at this time to introduce
another scion of the Smith family
Sherman S. This Mr. Smith is Min
neapolis man and is known locally as
''Sherm." At home he is discredit-
ed politician of the ward healer type.
One of the first acts of the Johnson
administration was the selection of
Sherman S. Smith as Speaker clerk.
His appointment is recorded on page
fifteen of the first days journal and
again on page twenty-on of the
journal of the third day, but there is
no evidence on the pay roll that he
drew his 81. so per diem twice.
in the Johnson campaign for speaker
and some say that he was its manager.
This assertion is altogether too seri-
Gus slam on the situation; it is bad
enough to know that Speaker john
son made Sherm his confidential Sec
rotary. AS Speakers clerk, Sherm
kept general tab on developments,
paying special attention to personal
and corporation measures. On one
morning in particular [ remember
seeing him hurrying about, convers-
ing excitedly with certain statesmen.
AS he spied out only such members
as had been "lined up" for the inter-
ests, I knew that something. was up
and seated myself in the gallerypto
await developments. Sure enough!
the corporation crowd had heard that
there would be another attempt to
force action on the anti-pas bill that
morning and were marshalling their
forces for the fight. Such was Sherm
Smith and such we're some of the leg
islative labors with which he encum-
bered himself.
| In addition to this confidential
clerkship Speaker Johnson provided
Smith with another sourse of income.
1t has become the custom to permit
some person to establish cigar and
confectionery in the postoffice lobby,
for the convenience of members. This
privilege was in the hands of Lieuten-
ant Governor Eberhart for disposal,
the authority being granted to him by
the capitol commission and that Of

ester written permission to rum the

that their leading lawyer personally
picked the members of the temper
ance committee. In this connection
two things are certain: (First), that
the saloon interests have no reason to
complain over the results of the ses-
sion; and, \second), that Speaker
johnson was certainly "fair" to them
not only in, the selection of hetemper-
ance committee, but also in permit
ting them to be represented by such
saloon lobbyist as Ex-Representative
Selb, in daily violation of rules AZ and
65 of the regulations under which the
house was supposedly governed.
The railroad representative who
was the most active for Mr.. Johnson
was Solicitor Root of the Milwaukee
system. Mr.. Root is perhaps the
most expert politician of all the Min
nesota railroad men who are interest
ed in the great game of legislation.
He is both smooth and shrewd, with
strings of influence extending in num-
erous directions all over the state.
Just prior to the settlement of the
Speakership contest on December
18th, it is said that Mr.. Root ssgot

Home Team
Gets Defeated
Kamiah Lads Win Ten Inning
Game After Hard Struggle.
Same Teams Will Play Again
Here Sunday.

The local base ball team went
to Kamiah Sunday and played
the team Of that town, losing to
them by a score of 8 to 9 after
ten innings Of hard, fast playing.
Both teams fell down in the
first Inning and the home boys
ran in 6 scores to Kamiah's 5.
After that they settled down to
business and played fast ball for
the rest of the game, tying the
score in the seventh inning.
Kamiah succeeded in getting one
man across the plate in the tenth
and won the game. Parsons
and Moffit were the battery for
Kamiah and Hill and Peterson
for Cottonwood.
A return game will be played
here Sunday afternoon and a
fast one is expected. Practically
all of Kamiah will accompany
that team to this place and it is
said they will come with money
in every pocket to wager on their
team which has been strengthen
ed materially and is expected to
have a walk over. The home
team expects to do a few things
that day also and lovers of good
ball will not be disappointed if
they attend the game.
A game with the Ferdinand
team has been arranged to be
played at that place a week from
Sunday.

and her 4-year-old daughter were
knocked down, and the tiger,

The dead body of Ned Rankin,
an Indian, was found at the
mouth of Cottonwood creek a
short distance above Sites on
Tuesday morning. Rankin had
his skull crushed in a couple
places and is thought to have
been killed by Indian companions
who left Sites with him. The
coroner's jury investigated the
case but did not make public it's
verdict.
There will be a meeting of the
citizens of Cottonwood Saturday
evening, June 1st, to make
definite arrangements for the
Fourth. A week ago Wednesday
a meeting was called, and as
there was hardly anyone out the
meeting was postponed until the
following Monday, in hopes of
getting better attendance after
the trials were over. But on
Monday evening the attendance
was even smaller than before.
Again it was put off. It was
agreed to meet on this coming
Saturday evening. AS there is
only a month left it is time we
were taking an action. There
is something like $4O0 raised
already and with two. or three
hundred more, Cottonwood can
have a celebration, the equal of
which was never seen on old

Saturday, June 1st. Be sure
and come.
