A court was held Oct. g. "A party at Hammonassett was accused by the husband with, on Sept. 25, 1907, the tickling of his shoulder with case knife so gently that the blade as 1t hit him broke into three or more pieces. The knife as broken was put in evidence, also milk bottle and stove handle. The defendant admitted the knife jabbing, but could not for a moment remember about the bottle, but finally said she threw them, not at him. He testified that on his re- turn from a neighbours the dishes, etc, were sailing through the air, and he got off by himself, just before the knife was used and ran away as the other articles were taking flight, She was also willing to admit that in February, the 18th day, she was drunk, that he was drunk, brought the whis- key from New Haven, that he hit her with a chair. She ran out doors, up and down the street, hollering, gesti- lating with arms and legs, because she was scared. She was so afraid that she didn't know when he might be af- ter her again-the little affair of 0 few days ago was hardly worth her at tention. When asked about men visit ing her, she knew one man who was trying to sell her husband a clock, who had been there she should think a thousand times. He came from Clin- ton. When asked about a number of others she didn't know what they were there for. It is surmised they, too, had an interest in that clock. All but a fruit peddler, he stopped there, so she could buy her fruit, etc. AS a daughter of MT. Allen testified to the knife jabbing, etc., and she said she did it-and as the fact was brought out that many women saw her in the stree, that day, she wos hollering and how a dentist was nearly scared out of his wits, and that people had pulled down the curtains, not knowing what might happen, etc. Judge Marsden suspended judgment after a consultation with the grand jurors for forty eight hours, and if the parties leave town, no further action will be taken.

Hearst as the standard bearer or as

there are thousands of Democrats who

which Hearst is associated. He has
defeated Democratic tickets in New

A TAX COMMISSION,

The most important legislation be-
fore the present Legislature, if not. in
deed, the most important legislation
that has ever come before Mime
sofa legislature, is that providing for
a tax commission and the abolition of
our present board OF equalization.
Taxation is the most important sub
iect which state has to deal with
and yet. queer as 1t may seem, 1t is a
matter to which the people of this
state have given comparatively little
consideration. Nothing is SO vital to
the welfare of people as a just and
equitable system of taxation Nothing
can create more distress and moro
class hatred than an unfair system.
Taxation, which is at the very founda-
ton Of all government, has for some
reason been sorely neglected in Min
nesota. The establishment of a. tax
commission gives hope that in time &
sane system of taxation may be
worked out. Our present system is
little better than the first attempts
at taxation growing out of the feudal
system. During the period of feudal-
ism only those were taxed who were
too weak to resist. and on account of
their weakness the poorer classes paid
the taxes. The same is true in a large
measure today. In theory all property
is assessed at it's full valuation, but
in practice only those who lack in
tluepce or the means to hire skillful
attorneys have been obliged to pay an
undue share of taxes. The heavier
burdens of the poor at the present
time are due to poor system of tax
alton and faulty administration Of the
laws.
One of the strange products of our
present financial methods is our board
of equalization. Real estate is assessed
under our law by men of local knowl-
edge. but men who possess local
knowledge are interested in their own
locality, and consequently they are in
terested in making low valuations in
order that their particular township
or county may bear a smaller portion
of the state tax than some neighbor-
tries to outdo the others In under

GAlUSHA A. GROW.


The death of Galusha A. Grow ends
q remarkable career. He, even more
than the late Senator Hoar of Massa-
chusettS, was a connecting link be-
tween the past and the present. When
Grow was first elected to- Congress in
1851 the question of slavery was still
to be decided. Sumner had only just
entered the Senate. Benton. who had
served for thirty years, was still in
the Senate Lincoln was country
lawyer, unknown outside of Illinois.
When Grow entered Congress he met
men who, like Benton, connected that
period With the political history of tho
Continental Congress. Grow lived to
associate i'm Congress with men who
decided the issues of the Spanish war
His life recalls how young our nation
is. And yet what changes have taken
place since he first entered Congress.
AT this time the great bulk of the
population was east of the Alleghanes
The Mississippi valley was the from
tier. The stretch of country from
Omaha to San Francisco was known
only to trapperS and those who crossed
the great plains in OK teams to hunt
for gold in California. Slavery still
existed in all the country south OF
Mason and Dixon's line, and fierce
contests We're being waged over the
question Of whether the new territories
of Kansas and Nebraska should be
slave or free. These questions Grow
helped to settle.
He missed by single vote being
nominated for Vice President in 1864
with Lincoln, and thus missed by the
same margin being President of the
United States during the troublesome
years of reconstruction. Had he been
President instead of Andrew johnson
the whole history of reconstruction
might have been changed.
After the years of reconstruction he
retired from Congress to private life,
where he remained for thirty years,
to be returned again to Congress in
1894 and again in 1896 with the largest
plurality ever polled by a congressional
candidate. In 1894 he was at the same
time both the youngest and the oldest
member of the house. His chief pub
lie service. aside from the part that he
took in the Lincoln campaigns. con-
sists in the Free Homestead Bill, of
which he was the author.
There is no man now living who
took part in the events that were at
issue when Galusha A. Grow took his
seat for the first time in Congress.
With him the last connecting link be-
tween the present and the anti-war
period has vanished.

Someone has said that Christ will

change. has been brought about by the
tendency of Protestants in England and
this country to travel: and travel is
chiefly directed to the old Catholic
lands. The man or woman who stud

Times. Protests came in such vigorous

what startled and had sense enough to
see its mistake. Among the professors

Episcopal bishop of the diocese of New
York (whose mother was Irish) and
the sister ct the editor of the New

tual protests was made by a fashion,
able woman. whose ancestors came

who is an appreciative student of Gel

The Republican party is now in such
straits that it has just one man whom

hinges it's success on one man. and
when that man is one who has had the
courage to drop his own platform and
adopt that of the opposition party?
The Republican party has claimed

DUNNE DEFEATED.

f'i l'le llISI tllle III ten years tho
Republicans have carried the city of
Chicago at a city election. Mayor
ticket. with the exception of city treas
urer, was defeated. This result is due
to several causes. In municipal affairs
Chicago, like most Of the large cities
in the country. is Democratic. Ed
ward r. Dunno is admittedly one OF
the most upright men who has ever
held public office. He is an honest,
conscientious scholarly and loyal gen.
tleman. Comparing the individuals
who led the tickets everything is in
favor of the defeated candidate, but
Mayor Dunno apparently had too great
Il burden to carry.
In the first place Municipal Owner
snip has not made good. The grea.
things promised by the theoretical
radicals who have been shouting Mu-
nicipal Ownership in Chicago for some
years past have failed to maleralze.
Mayor Dunno has been loyal to the
platform upon which he was elected
tw" years ago. He has honestly en-
deavored to bring about Municipal
ownership of the street railways of
that city. The task was too great.
His loyalty to his promises was suffi-
cient to cause his defeat. Had he ac-
cepteh the compromise offered by the
ordinances adopted by the city council
he would have undoubtedly been elect
ed. Municipal Ownership has received
Il severe blow at the very headouar-
ters Of that sentiment. The people OF
Chicago have become tired of the con-
stant agitation and the resultant poor
service received from the traction
companies.
Even with the heavy load of Mu-
nicipal Ownership on his shoulders,
Mayor Dunno would probably have
been elected had he not had the addi-
tional load of Hearst and Hearstism
to carry. Hearst betook himself from
New York to Chicago and brought
with him his $4,000 editor, Arthur
Brisbane. to instruct the people of
Chicago in their duties of citizenship,
The immediate result of the advent
Of Hearst to Chicago was the begin
ming of a campaign of mud singing
directed against the private character
of the Republican candidate. who, 1t
appears. is not altogether free from
weak spots. But the bitter campaign
of personalities was carried to such an
extent that it reacted in favor of the
person attacked. The people Of Chi
cago voted against Hearst and the
principles and methods that he stands
for more than they did even against
Municipal Ownership.
1t ought to be apparent now even
to the most fatuous follower of the
New York editor that that Individual
is a minus quantity when 1t comes to
winning political battles. He has his
followers, but the moment that he and
his followers are found supporting a
candidate that fact alone is enough to
drive a sufficient number of voters
away to insure defeat 1t is to be
