West st. Paul Times: It might not
be bad idea for the legislators to
remember that, good roads is. of as
much Importance to the state as bad
railroads and that the former subject
is quite as much in need Of legislation
to promote it as the latter is in need
of legislation to correct it. The ideal
legislation is not to go too far in any
direction, and to round out the whole
system so that every interest is given
it's proper attention. It looks now as
though the whole state house had gone
daffy on anti-railroad legislation.

A clerk of one of the legislative
committees who occupies his spare
time-that is nearly all the time-in
writing letters for publication in the
country press says: "Before the ses-
sion is ended we expect to be able to
tell the public exactly which members
are right and which members are
wrong" he, and he alone, is to de-
termine (which members are right and
which members are wrong" That
clerk has valuable asset in his as
of George Loftus' staff.

By the senate's adoption of his
amendment to the agricultural ap-
preparation bill Senator Nelson has
achieved another victory. The aim of
the amendment is to assist agricul-
tural colleges and schools. In intro
ducing it Senator Nelson said:
''What induces me to present the
amendment is that in great many of
the states, especially in the south, they
are now establishing county and rural
agricultural schools, and the object
OF the amendment is to enlarge the
scope of our agricultural colleges so
that they can fit teachers for these
local agricultural schools. It amounts
to SIS 1000 each year for four years, and
every agricultural college and expert
mental station that I have been in
communication with highly favors.it. "

Colonel Albert Frost, the candidate
for mayor of Evanston, ILL.,, says it
was not Funston and his jayhawkers
who swan the Marilao river in the
face of a hot fire and captured the
Philippine redoubts, but he (Frost)
and his South Dakota volunteers.
Being a quiet, unassuming man, Colo
mel Frost let Funston carry off the
honors unprotected, while Funston,
knowing full we'll that he was not en-
titled to the distinction, was pro-
claimed a hero. If the statement of
Colonel Frost is true, Funson should
be drummed out of the army.

In his write-up of the annual meet
ing of the Minnesota Editorial asso-
citation, with characteristic mendacity,
Charles G. Whitney in his Marshall
News-Messenger says: "Mr. Dunn of
the Princeton Union, and Mr..
Mitchell of the Duluth News-Tribune
opposed favoring the reciprocal de-
murrage act, but were overwhelmingly
defeated by the vote of the associa-
tion." Mr.. Dunn entered protest
against endorsing specific measure
the provisions of which we're not un-
derstood by single member of the
association present at the meeting; he
did not object to resolution endors-
ing the principal of reciprocal demur-
rage. Mr.. Dunn also protested
against the reckless wholesale denun,
citation of members of the legislature.
It does not require any great amount
of courage to denounce body of men
as corruptionists. Members of the
legislature are not infallible and per-
haps some of them are not incorrup-
tible. But the same is true of editors
and publishers of newspapers.

The fact that 100000 bibles we're
sold in America during the past year
is no Indication that the people have
become more devout. A large per-
centage of these books was purchased
by missionary societies in carload
lots for shipment to the heather in
foreign lands--and they, let US hope,
have not used them for kind]ing fires
under feshpots.

One of the facetious St. Paul news
paper boys said r. G. Dunn had es-
tablished headquarters at the Mer-
chants hotel in that city for the winter,
and it appears several people have
taken the reporter seriously. Occa-
sionally, after disposing of load OF
cordwood brought in on subscri ption,
Mr.. Dunn makes a flying trip to the
Stainless city and picks his teeth at
the Merchants, but his postofice ad-
dress is Princeton, MINI.

When newspapermen stick together
on any point they invariably accom-
plish their purpose. A point at issue
is that of one Madden, a pompous
nonentity known as the third assistant
.
postmaster general, who sought to
antagonize the boys by suggesting un-
just legislation in the mail-rate
schedule. His resignation has been
called for by the authorities and he
will hand it in, if we are not mis-:
taken, in mighty quick order.

The recent wreck on the Pennsvl-
vania road is not attributed to the
block system, as might have been ex-
pected, but to the steel ties which are
used on that railway, and it is said
that in consequence recourse will
again be taken to ties of wood. BY
the time all of the causes for wrecks
have been eliminated from railroad
operation there will probably be no
one left in the country to "take the
cars.D

Professor Matteuci, director OF We

and that it's tail will become tangled
up in the earth's atmosphere. This

cause an instantaneous destruction of
all life existing on earth. Such oc-

only thing capable of dissolving the

Health Commissioner Ohage says
that the federal inspection of meats at
the South st. Paul packing houses
affords absolutely no protection
against the spread of trichinosis. It
appears that the law does not require
a microscopic inspection of meat, and
without such examination it is impos-
sible to determine whether trichinosis
exists in carcasses or not. The law
should be amended to provide for a
more thorough inspection. ~

Archbishop Guillow, Mexican di.
vine of high standing, was arrested
and fined for directing the national
anthem of his country to be played on
the church organ without obtaining
permission from the government.

In Butte, Montana, the mail car
riers went on strike for an increase of
pay. This is a striking illustration of
what might be expected to happen in
other places unless Uncle Sam hurries
up with that increase of salary. Rural
carriers, especially, are underpaid.
These men have to brave all sorts of
weather and furnish teams for sal
airy altogether incommensurate with
the work required. This is condi-
ton which the government will be
compelled to remedy.

An exchange is in doubt as to

An exchange thinks it is a good
thing to publish roll of honor con-
tanning the names of subscribers who
have paid up their subscriptions to a

their grocery bills during the week
would make himself ridiculous.

however, which is perilous to health.
