There is no force to the argument
that if maximum passenger rate of
two cents mile is fixed by law it
would do away with cheap excursion
rates. In four cases out of five ex-
cursion rates are given for the pur-
pose of bringing crowds into the
large cities. If cheap excursion rates
we're cut out altogether and a fiat two
cent rate was established it would be
better for the railroads and the gen.
eral public. If railroad company,
however, wishes to make lower rate
than two cents a mile on stated occa-
sions that is the business of the rail-
road company.

Representative William Brown OF
St. Paul last week introduced a bill
in the house virtually authorizing the
board of trustees of the soldiers home
to establish canteen in that institu-
ton. Mr.. Brown contends that, as
many of the veterans use tobacco,
cigars and stimulants, they should
not be compelled to 60 to St. Paul or
Minneapolis in order to procure those
small comforts. Mr.. Brown is right
and his bill should pass. The old
soldiers are fast passing away, and il
anything can be done to make life
more pleasant for them while they re-
main among US it should be put into
practice.

Professor McVey of the university
of Minnesota feels positive that he
has discovered the reason for the car
shortage. The "learned" professor
concludes from his Investigations that
freight congestion is caused by the
desire of the railroads to increase
dividends, and asserts that as result
of this congestion there is loss OF
profits to all but the railroads. We
are pleased to learn that the professor
has made this wonderful discovery,
but how it is possible for railroads to
increase dividends by hauling less
freight is beyond our understanding.

In ansinteresting ST. Panl letter. -

lnansinteresting st. Paul letter to
his. paper, the Sank Centre Herald,
Frank Eddy takes occasion to remark
that, "of all the bowling travesties on
justice contests before partisan legis-
lative bodies are the worst.'' Then
he goes on to rehearse the proceedings
in the Hackney-Butler contest in the
senate, where there was not a shadow
OF justification for a contest on the
part of Butler, the democratic contest
ant, and yet every democratic senator
voted to seat him. But, strange to
say, Mr.. Eddy overlooked the contest
case in the house where the committee
on elections reported that the sitting
member, j. D. O'Brien, a democrat,
was elected by one vote, and the house
sustained the report of the committee.
Out of a total membership of 119 in
the house the democrats have onlv ID.
In both instances justice was done,
for Mr.. Hackney and Mr.. O'Brien
were rightly entitled to their seats.

"We have had experiences like this
before, when we appropriated S35, 200
for a railroad fight and did not get a
dollars worth of good out of it,
Mr.. Dorsey referred of course to the

Creameries are prosperous in Todd
county. The Long Prairie Leader de-
votes large share of the space in its
issue of Feb. 18th to an illustrated
write-up of the Long Prairie and
Round Prairie creameries. The sales
OF the creamery output at the former
place during the year amounted to
almost as much as the capital of the
two national banks located there. The
Ito patrons of the Long Prairie
creamery had returned to them more
cash during the year than was paid
out by the three elevators at that
place in the same time. The Leader
is so we'll pleased with the business

weekly hereafter, and intimates that
later the semi-weekly may give place

hour from their Investigations of rail

disseminates you will of course starve

as the pure food commission does-eat
anything you take fancy to, provid-

organs will tell you more accurately
than can the commission whether bugs
in bologna, microbes in molasses,
sand in sugar, ETC., are deleterious to

ostensible purpose of extending the

nominations for positions on the
