therefore, along the line of the best way of development.
 After this meeting Major Long and myself travelled on to Hartselle, where we addressed the people of Morgan coun- ty. This county will vote on March 90 for the issuance of road bonds, and from the amount of enthusiasm displayed Saturday there is no doubt about it's car rying.
 The Age-Herald is certainly waking people up throughout the state on the subject of road improvement. This is the farmers hobby, his delight his main topic of conversation, and this campaign seem to have stirred to the boiling point the determination to have it which has been simmering for so long"

GERMAN Discomfort.

| The uprising of the German people against
| the assurance of Emperor Williams tone, in
the interview with the Englshman, is interest
| ing to compare with the difference of the Ger
| man sentiment at the last general election in
that country, about two years ago. 1t will be
| remembered that the Kaiser threw himself into
the electoral campaign and called for in
! dorsement of his policies and for condemna-
ton of the socialists. He was completely
victorious, the socialist vote being greatly
duced and the government triumphantly
tiained. What has happened in the meantime
to bring about such change in public opinion
that the whole nation is full of wrath because
the emperor has magnified his personal
| Importance at the expense of legislature that
was originally chosen in entire harmony with
his course?
The thing that has happened in Germany is
business depression accompanied by hard times
and discomfort. Germany is today in agree
able mood. The taxes are high cost of living
is high, and the great numbers of the people
are out of work or in distressed circumstances.
The trusts have grip on the industries of Ger
many that can hardly be understood in this
country. There prosecutions of com
bines to restrict trade, maintain high prices by
artificial means to limit production, because
all these acts not only permitted, but sane
toned by the law. The agrarian interest and
the manufacturing interest have combined and
both keep making money in spite of hard
times. And there is no indication of any i'm
provement.
Naturally the people are discontented and
+ hair finds uffa in a4 &ho
emperor, as one in authority, for nothing more
and nothing different than he has been saying
and doing for twenty years.
Such explanation Of the state of German
feeling is not only more rational but just
to the German people then the assump-
tion that they progressive than
they used to be, that they are catching up with
modern ideas the subject of the divine right
of kings. The Germans not inferior to 9th
er nations in intelligence, and do not need to
step lively to get abreast with the rest of the
world The change has been in the economic
conditions of the people, and it has operated
with them as it does with all other people, by
making them discontented and eager to visit
blame on their ruler on any pretext that may
arise. They are acting now as they did in 1848,
when hard times provoked revolutionary move
nents and heavy emigration to America.
What would be more natural than renew
al of heavy German immigration to this country
in the near future? With revival of trade, |
reopening of factories, work for more hauds is |
it not reasonable to expect new and liberal in
fusion of the same Teutonic blood that has |
been so large an influence in the development
of the United States?-St. Paul Dispatch.

Some of the city papers have Representa-
tive w. C. Bicknell slated for chairman of the
judiciary committee. This is the most import
ant and influential position i'll the House after
the speakership, and that Mr.. Bicknell is well
the members of the legislature and others who
know him. IF he is appointed to this position,
he will be the chief of the law advisers of the
House-a position of great responsibility
nearly all of the important measures considered
by the legislature will pass directly thru his
hands, No member from this district has ever
held this position, and even tho he should not
be appointed the people of this district feel
honored that they are represented in the House
by man who is mentioned as well qualified
and worthy to hold the position and perform

~ 1t is now certain that all of the constitu-
tional amendments submitted at the last cleo
tion failed of passage, simply from the neglect
of people to vote for them. The amendments
received better vote in the country districts
than in the cities, especially i'll Minneapolis,
where the voting machines were largely to
blame. In the country districts, the amend
tnents were printed on separate pink ballot,
which helped to call them to the voters atten-
Lion, but in Minneapolis, the amendments were
but on the voting machines the same candi-
hates names, and were usually neglected.

1t is more than possible that the next legis-
lature will give the state new Legislative ap-
portionment and if this is done it is to be hoped
that Traverse and Big Stone counties be made
one of the new districts. The way the 1egis-
both the 56th and 57th shut out both Ira
verse and Big Stone counties from representa-
tion if they desire, although it is to the Gre
dit of Swift county that this has not been in
this district Traverse and Big Stone, with one
senator and one representative would make
good ddistrict.--Graceville Enterprise.

The speakership contest was settled by the
district caucuses held the first of the week,
and it is now settled that A. ]. Rockne, of Zum-
brota, will be the next speaker of the house.
He won in fair fight his opponent,
Lawrence johnson, of Minneapolis, who was
speaker of the last house. Mr.. Rockne has
been able and prominent member of the
house for several sessions, has always been in
dependent of the interests, and the members of
the house are to be congratulated on the selec-
tion they have made.
AS between Mr.. Rockne and Mr.. Johnson,
there question as to where the members
from the seventh district should stand, and
they were practically unanimous for Mr. Rock
ne. While Mr.. Rockne voted against the ton
mage tax, Mr.. Johnson did also but while Mr..
Rockne voted in favor of the harvester plant at
Saltwater, Mr. johnson voted against it.

A man who for years in his earlier life was
relatively wealthy, who exercised wide in
f1uence and to whom people came for advice on
many matters, recently died at an advanced age
poor and dispirited. The life which opened so
full of promise ended in failure. An inquiry as
to the reason why elected the response that he
had "lost his grip years ago." Further inquiry
showed that domestic troubles following one
another had unnerved him and caused him to
lose his courage and ambition 1t was a sad
story and the pity is that the world shows so
many similar life tragedies. If men thus bat
tered and bruised by adverse circumstances
would but remember that Goods in his heaven,
and als we'll earth,' they would bear up
and press forward with undminished faith and
resolution, notwithstanding that conditions
may sometimes be unfavorable.-C Clinton Ad-
yOcate.

1t is announced that the umbermen of the
Northwest going to stand with the lumber
men of the Pacific coast in resisting the re-
moval of the tariff on lumber. The umber-
men in either part of the country do not need
protection, but it is the forests which need the
protection which the removal of the tariff would
afford. The time has come when the govern
ment is using every means to conserve the
timber resources of the country, and the tariff
on lumber shonld not only be removed for the
benefit of the consumer, but especially to dis
courage the present rapid cutting of private
supplies of timber.
