little spellbinding up to the present

Investigation will be made by the
interstate commerce commission into
the affairs of the Hamburg American
Packet company, a foreign corpora
ton which is said to control ninety
seven per cent: of the traffic from in
terror cities of the United States. to
points abroad. A dissolution of this
combine is asked by the Peter Wright
Steamship company upon the grounds
that the Hamburg line is operated in
violation of United States laws. The
complainants also state that the mo-
nopoly is backed by the German gov
eminent. Thus the affair becomes
one of International import, and as
we have so far failed to dissolve any
of the trusts operating solely in this
country it is highly improbable that
one in which another power is inter-
ested will be put out of business.

of this assertion cannot be denied, for

those who carry about with them the

Anent the recount in the New York
contested election Governor Hughes
says: .--
''It is we'll known to all who are
conversant with sentiment in the city
of New York that there is widespread
doubt as to the accuracy of the official
canvass. If the result of this recan-
vass is to establish the election of
Mayor Mcclellan it will largely re-
establish confidence in our election
methods and make the more unlikely
the recurrence of similar situation.
If, on the other hand, the recanvass
should show that Mr.. Hearst was
elected every fair-minded citizen,
whatever his political convictions,
would rejoice that the fear of estab-
fishing a precedent did not prevent
the righting of a wrong and the giving
of the Office to the man who was en-
titled to it,"

Des Moines has adopted a central
form of city government similar to
that in operation at Galveston and
Los Angeles. This plan provides for
a commission of five, each commits
sioner being given a separate depart
ment of the city government after the
board selects a mayor from it's num-
Der. Under this system the granting
of all franchises must be decided by
popular vote. Wherever introduced
this form of government has worked
advantageously and it is believed
many other cities will adopt similar
plan within the next few years.

TeIl-Tale Pin Point.

Interest in the murder of Annie Kim
top, which occurred two years ago
near Darling, the mystery surround
ing which has never been cleared up.
is revived by the publication of the
following story in the Long Prairie
Leader:
That truth is stranger than fiction is
we'll illustrated by the developments
in Morrison county murder case.
About two years ago a young woman
was killed near Randall in a praticu-
larly horrible and brutal manner.
She had been employed as servant
at Little Falls and had taken the train
home for a short visit.
While passing from the station
along the road to her home she was
attacked and murdered. In the
struggle, which must have been a ter
rible one, judging from the condition
OF the ground, she stabbed her as
sailant with a hatpin, which was
broken in the encounter.
Not a sign or clue to the murderer
was left and during all of the time
which has elapsed not the slightest
evidence leading to the probable guilt
of anyone had been found. 1t was
thought for a time that two negroes
who had been seen about the place
had murdered the girl, and the au-
thorities spent months in looking
them up. Suspicious characters we're
traced as far as the Pacific coast, but
without avail.
Shortly before the murder the young
woman had been seen with a certain
young man. This young man was &C
tive in his efforts to locate the guilty
person and accompanied the sheriff
west for the purpose of attempting to
identify suspects.
Two weeks ago this young man was
taken with an attack of appendicitis
He was removed to Little Falls hos
pital, where an operation was per-
formed. In his abdomen the surgeons
found the broken end of woman's
hatpin.
The young man is still in the hos
pital recovering from the effects of
the operation. His arrest by the
sheriff as he leaves his cot will be
the first intimation he has that the
broken hatpin has been discovered.

ROSING,S RUM RULES.


lations has been adopted by the state
board Of control for the conduct of it's
business, whereby the purchasing of
immense quantities of supplies neces-
sary for the several state institutions
is delegated to- clerk. The new rules
also prescribe that the board will be
in session for the transaction of busi-
ness at it's Offices in the state capitol
only two days in each week hereafter,
Monday and Thursday, the other four
days the members time and attention
will be given to visiting the various
state institutions and other outside
duties. In other words the politicians
on the board will be at liberty four
days in each week to devote their en-
ergies to the building up of a gigantic
political machine, and no public busi-
ness can be transacted with the board
on those days. It is but fair to saw
that this radical new departure was
opposed by S. W: Leavitt, but he was
outvoted by L. A. Rosing and P. M.
Ringdahl, the two appointees of Gov.
johnson. 49,.
Tie legislature never intended that
the board of control should delegate
its powers to a clerk. Section 1864,
revised laws of 1905, provides that the
board "may appoint a purchasing
agent for each or any of the institu-
tions. = \ \ ** The compensation
and necessary expenses of such agent
shall be paid out of the funds pro-
vided for the institution to which he is
assigned" These words cannot by
any stretch of the imagination be dis
torted into meaning that the board is
authorized to appoint one purchasing
agent for all the institutions.
Section 1871, revised laws of 1905,
provides that the board 'smay adopt
rules for the conduct of it's business"
but the presumption is that the rules
will be reasonable and not detrimental
to the interests of the public. Is a
rule that requires the board to devote
only ten hours of each week to public
business and the balance of the time
to junketing at the public's expense
reasonable?
Is it reasonable to presume, that one
clerk as purchasing agent for all the
state. institutions can obtain better
results than the entire board of con-
troll?
When S. W. Leavitt is forced off the
state board of control the political
machine will run more smoothly.
Boss Rosing is an excellent engineer,
especially when he has good supply
of "oil" on hand.

Information Regarding Roads.

A circular recently issued by the
public roads Office of the department
of agriculture contains much interest
ing information to those who have
been participating in any way in the
good roads movement in Minnesota,
and among it is the following:
To provide source of revenue for
it's roads the supervisors of the vari-
Gus towns are authorized to levy a
road tax upon all real and personal
property of not to exceed 81 on each
500 of taxable valuation. This tax
may be computed in labor at the rate
of 81. so per day. In counties having
a population of 100000 or more all
road taxes must be paid in cash.
Road taxes may be paid in cash in
any town if agreed to by majority
vote at the annual town election.
In some counties of the state every
male inhabitant over 81 and under so
years of age, unless by law exempt, is
required 70 perform not less than five
days. labor each year on the public
roads, or pay $3.50 for each day he
may be required to perform road
duty. This tax does not seem to be
assessed in some counties or in many
of the towns, which is said to be due
to the fact that the counties and towns
have by majority vote decided to
pay all road taxes in cash.
Bonds may be issued by the towns
for road purposes which must not ex-
coed, together with the outstanding in
debtedness of the town, per cent of
the assessed valuation thereof. These
bonds must be paid in not to exceed
ten annual installments, and may
bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent.
The county commissioners are au-
thorized to provide fund for the
construction, maintenance and repairs
Of county roads and bridges, to be
known as "the general road and
bridge fund.-" and to be expended
upon such roads and bridges as the
commissioners may determine. Not
more than $500 may be appropriated
per annum from this fund for anv
one town road or bridge in any town.
ship. The county commissioners are
authorized to include in the regular
tax levy of a county a tax not to ex-
coed mill on the dollar on all tax
able valuation in the county for the
benefit of the road and bridge fund, in
addition to the amounts levied for
other county purposes. The levy may
be increased to 2 mills, provided the
taxable valuation in a county is less
than 81, 100000.
