western dairymen that they were the
benehciaries of the men who were TAX
ing an unfair advantage of them.
The cooperative creameries all along
have had trusts of one sort or another
to contend with, which sometimes
secretly and sometimes openly, have
endeavored to prevent the successful
operation of the local creameries.
Their methods of doing this may have
been different. The purpose of the
trust has always been the same, to
control the product of Minnesota
dairymen. But the dairymen are
learning that the most profitable thing
for them to do is to be independent of
combinations. The movement which
has resulted in the Minnesota Co.
operative Diaries association is the
result of this and ought to have the
support of every dairyman who wants
to put the dairying business on a firm
basis. By cooperation the dairymen
will be in position where they will
be Independent of the trusts which
seek to make profit from their
industry.

Cooperative Creameries.

The following article from Heat.
wole's Dairy Paper is we'll worthy OF
the farmers perusal and careful con-
sideration:
The dairymen of the. state will be
doing the prudent thing in taking the
marketing of creamery products into
their hands. If anything we're
needed to prove this it is found in the
obstacles thrown in the way of their
organization by the agents of inter.
ested corporations. There is much to
indicate that dairymen in the past
have suffered loss because the New
York butter market has for many
years been practically a close corpor.

quotations to its own advantage and
at the same time maintained agents

King and Crown Prince Assassinate

King Carlos and Crown Prince Luiz
of Portugal were assassinated on Sat-
urday by six men who are supposed
to be anarchists. The king and queen
were returning from their estate at
Villa Vicosa, accompanied by the
crown prince and the Infante Manuel.

way station to meet them when the
train pulled into Lisbon. The roval
family entered an open carriage which
was in waiting and Immediately
thereafter six assassins armed with
carbines and revolvers rushed to the
side of the vehicle and poured in a
deadly hail of bullets. King Carlos

The Harmony Scarecrow.

There is a tendency among some of
the republican papers to make a
scarecrow out of Harmony-they
always spell it with big I'll" We
believe in harmony, we believe in do
ing a good deal to assure it, but we
absolutely refuse to consent to having
it held over the party as a whip.
Every body is willing to do all he can
to promote harmony, nobody wants
a fight within the party, but there are
whole lot of good, square republi-
cans who would not want to buy har-
mony, or anything else, if they could
help it, at trust made rates. Just now
it appears that the "interests are
going to try to drive the party with a
whip of ''Harmony." Any man dis
tasteful to the 'interests" is pro-
nounced harmony breaker and is
supposed to "go way back" that the
interests may march on unmolested.
II that is the price OF harmony in the
republican party we say, to the dogs
with harmony. We do not care for
that kind of harmony. It is better to
suffer defeat at the polls than buy
victory at the price of submission to
the dictates of the Interests. If the
success of the republican party means
the defeat of the wishes of the people
then let the democrats continue in
control of the governors Office.
There is very little difference between
an interest serving republican and
democrat in the same business, and
for our part we would rather see
democrats holding down jobs of that
kind. Those who are making the
most noise about harmony at present
will soon find that the republicans of
this state will refuse to be whipped
into line just because the Interests
are cracking the harmony whip

Demand for Labor Good.

According to an interview with
one of the prominent Duluth employ
ment agents by representative of the
Duluth News Tribune there is heavy
demand for men to work in the woods.
This agent stated that the demand for
lumberjacks is fully as great as that
of last winter but that men were more
scarce. They did not seem inclined to
work for the prevailing wages which
range from $40 to SIS less than last
year. "Work on the railroads." says
the agent, lis scarce, but it will be

Should be Recommended

The good natured boys who pillow
the snow from the sidewalks after
every heavy storm should be
recompensed with something more
substantial than "Thank you, SON.
n.y." but very seldom do they receive
even the latter. The boys do the
work voluntarily and ask no compen-
sation, but this is no reason why they
should not be given something for
their labors by the people whose side
walks they clear.

Salient Features of MESSAGE.

Salient Features of Message

Directs attention to need of action
in connection with the abuse of iniunc-
tions in labor cases.
Recommends laws better to secure
control over the great business con-
Germs engaged in Interstate commerce.
and especially over the great common
carriers; that Interstate commerce
commission may pass upon any rate
on its own initiative, may exercise

sumo a certain measure of control

Urges that railroads be permitted to

Says Sherman antitrust law should

plies to attacks made by the Standard
Oil corporation and the Santa Fe

Defends the two judges who i'm

to great and small, rich and poor,
weak and strong.
Denies that the administration 8
actions have brought on business

the speculative folly and fragrant dis
honesty of few men of great wealth,
and claims there is no justification
to feel gloomy or frightened at the
outlook, as ultimate success is as
sured.

died at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Frank Peterson, in this village,
on Friday, January 81, from heart
failure superinduced by a paralytic
stroke received sixteen months ago.
Since sustaining this paralytic Attic
ton Mrs. Frederickson had been
cared for by her daughter, and not
withstanding her severe suffering,
bore her burden with fortitude. She
was a good christian woman, and
beloved by those who had the
pleasure of her acquaintance.
| The deceased was born in Denmark.
July 9, 1928, and on January 3, 1852,
was married to Hans Frederickson.
With her husband she came to the
United States in May, 1889, and
located at Ridgeway, Pa, where the
family remained one year. From
Ridgeway the family moved to Santi-
ago, Sherburne county, MIMI, where
homestead was taken up, and upon
this homestead Mrs. Frederickson
lived until the death of her husband,
September IL, 1906. She was then
brought to the residence of her
daughter, Mrs. Frank Peterson, in
Princeton.
Mrs. Frederickson was the mother
OF four daughters, three of whom sur
vive her, viz, Mrs. Frank Peterson,
Princeton; Mrs. Jas. Nelson, Idaho;
Mrs. Peter Larson, Denmark. She
also leaves six grandchildren and
seven great grandchildren.
Funeral services were held at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Peterson at 3 o'clock on Friday AFTER
noon, January 81. The services we're
conducted by Rev. Geo. A. Swert-
Eager of the Congregational church.
On the following day the remains
were taken to the Danish cemetery at
Santiago and there inferred beside
those of her husband. The floral
offerings were profuse and among
them we're wreaths from the Pythian
Sisters, Lady Maccabees and
Rebekahs.
Mureil Foltz.
Little Muriel Foltz, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. F. G. Foltz, died at the
Northwestern hospital on Monday
morning at 6 o'clock following an
operation for peritonitis, which was
performed on Saturday morning by
DR.. Cooney. Death resulted from
exhaustion. DR.. Cooney says that
the operation is simple one, but the
little girl was in weak condition
from the effects of the disease, from
which she had been a sufferer for a
considerable time. A surgical opera
ton, however, was the only course
which gave any hope of relief.
Immediately preceding the attack of
peritonitis Mureil had suffered from
pneumonia in an acute form, and
this left her in no condition to combat
the disease. Mureil was the youngest
of thirteen children, ten of whom are
now living.
Funeral services we're held at the
family residence yesterday afternoon,
Rev. Lambert of Hamline university
officiating at the obsequies. The
burial took place in Oak Knoll ceme-
terry.
Mureil was bright, sunny natured
little girl, and her taking away is a
heavy blow to the family.
