Commissioner Welsh of the state
bureau of immigration is to be con-
graduated over his share in the COM
piIation of Minnesota's Fiftieth An
niversary souvenier issued by that
bureau. 1t is not only an effectual
immigration document, but will
serve as book of reference to all
who keep it handy for reference pur-
poses. Besides many pages of reli-
able general information about our
great state and its resources, every
county in the state is described, with
a brief summary Of statistics of area
in square miles, population, both
native and foreign, principal towns
and population, and other valuable
statistics. Indeed, the only change
we would suggest is the addition OF
an index to make all this informa-
! ton more instantly available.

The official call for the annual
convention of the Minnesota Sunday
School association has been issued.
the date fixed being two weeks
h -nce, beginning April 21st and con-
tinuing for three days. The conven-
ton is to be at St. Paul this year and
st. Paul has undertaken to entertain
two-t thousand delegates on the Har-
ward plan--furnishing lodging and
breakfast. Redwood county will
certainly be represented, and will
probably better the strong repre-
sentation made last year, in consider
alton of the fact that state President
Gold of this county has been honor
ed by the association.

No sooner is Uncle James Arnold
through with giving the wide open
tax amendment a drubbing, than up
comes brother Childs Of the Waseca
Herald with the hottest kind of
roast against the same measure.
The Herald declares that the effect
of the act is to repeal our bill of
rights and go back to the 'unlimit-
ed sovereign power Of the king,
under church instruction, to levy
taxes without restraint" This is
getting serious.

A pair of twin babes on West
Central avenue, St. Paul, were too
effectually quoted last Wednesday.
Neighbors suggested to the parents
that soothing syrup would be a
great thing" to produce quiet and
rest for the children and parents.
and trial proved that the advice
was correct. When the father rose
at 6 o'clock next morning one of the
babessswas lifeless, and by the time
doctor had been summoned, the
second was also dead. The coroner
exonerated the parents but express
ed the opinion that the infants, who
were only three months old, had
died from the effects of the medicine.

Lightning Rods.

From special reports received in
the state fire marshalls Office of
three hundred and eighty seven
lightning fires in this state during
the last five years, not one of these
structures were reported as having
been provided with lightning rod.
From Indiana and Nebraska come
similar reports and lightning rod
mutual fire protective association in
Ohio covering $1,2OO.0OO of risks
has never paid one cent for loss.
Lightning rods are now made with
knowledge of the character of the
work that they have to do. and
scientific opinion is unanimous that
they protect IL properly erected.
The cheapest serviceable lightning
rod consists of a starshaped galvan-
lied steel rod about one-half inch IN
diameter. Rods made of twisted or
braided copper wires to thickness OF
about one-fourth an inch are equal
ly serviceable, last longer, but cost
a little more. A lightning rod
should be inserted sufficiently deep
into the ground to reach permanent
ly moist earth. 1t may be nailed or
stapled directly to the building,
sharper curves than with a radius of
one foot should be avoided. 1t
should start at one end of the
building, reach the highest point
follow along such highest point to
the opposite end and down into the
ground in the same manner as at the
starting point. So called points"
should be electrically secured to the
main rod and be we'll braced to the
building. and should reach up three
or four feet above the main rod.
Ornaments should be avoided. The
material for such rod can now be
had from all reliable hardware deal
ers. No patented devices are neces-
sary and any man with ordinary
mechanical ability can put up a SER
viceable rod.

President Grass Of the Minnesota
Shippers and Receivers association is
springing up as a live candidate for
railroad commissioner. The inter-

of Mr.. Grass, but we are inclined to
think it might be good politics to
give the shippers association a re
preventative on the commission, In
asmuch as Mr.. Grass shows up as a
consistent business man with the
solid endorsement of his district.

The Duluth Herald states that
the bread line" of unemployed
laborers in that city has grown 70
the number of 300, that being the
number of persons applying daily at
the Bethel in the Zenith City
for scanty morning meal. THE
growth of the bread line may be ac-
counted for quite easily by saying
that this is the time when, winter
work in the woods being ended, men
gather in Duluth every year to seek
jobs in other lines, states The Herald.
This is a great labor market, and
for many years this season has wit
messed a great gathering Of laborers
here to await the opening of spring
work. Just now there is no work
to do for them, or very little. Most
of those who have money left after
winters work are taking care of
themselves. The bowery restaurants
and lodging houses are we'll patron
lied. But for those who have no
steady work, and who are therefore
out Of money, these places are not
open, and if it were not for the
Bethel, which permits these men to
sleep on the floor and gives them a
cup or two Of coffee and couple of
sandwiches in the morning, their
fate would be pitiful indeed.

TAX AMENDMENTS.
LETTER v.

Ed. GAZETTE: Those of your
readers who have followed us in dis
cussing the tax amendment, will no
doubt have concluded that the writ
er will vote no on this amendment,
and they have judged rightly. AL
ready a district judge in the north
part of the state has declared this
measure unconstitutional. and land
men, wanting to know where they
stand, are trying to get decision
from the State Supreme Court, but
such decision is liable not be final,
for one judge of that court is incom-
petent to sit in judgement in that
case, having publicly, in speeches,
and by presiding at public meetings,
advocated the amendment. Now
every body of average sense knows
that a man as much prejudiced on
one side of a case as that judge,
would not be allowed to sit on a
small case in a petit jury The facts
above mentioned can be proved
from the files of our daily papers of
the twin cities for August and Sep
TENDER, 1906. Is it not about time
our courts were divorced from parti-
zan politics? In the face of the evil
dence we have adduced against that
amendment one is lead to ask, Are
these men who advocate that tax
amendment ignorant of constitution
al law. or are they grating for Of
flee? If they are the product of the
State University, they certainly do
no credit to their alma mater, and
the people should demand cutting
down of appropriations for the Uni
versity which turns out such lot of
poor lawyers at SO much expense.
The next amendment to consider
is of the same class as the one previ-
ously considered for it is an amend
ment giving to the legislature I'M
limited power to tax the property of
the state for roads and bridges. AS
these amendments were not printed
with the session laws, there is. not
one in a hundred of the voters OF
this state who have copy. So shall
have to quote them in full SO that
your readers may have an opportun
lily to compare them. The present
law, Art. TX, Sec. 16, reads as fol
lows: For the purpose of lendins
aid in the construction and improve
ment of public highways and bridge
| there is hereby created fund. t,
| be known as the State Road AM
Bridge fund. Said fund shall includ
| all moneys accruing from
the income derived from in
vestmentsss..internal investments ii
the internal Improvement land fund
or that maysherafter accrue to sal,
fund, and shall also include all fund
accruing to any state road an,
bridge fund, provided, the legisla
ture is authorized to add to sucl
funds, for the purpose Of construct
ling Or improving roads and bridges

Since January of 1906 116 private
banks in this state have been con-
yerted into state banks. This action
was made necessary in many cases
in order to conform with state law,
and hereafter there will be no such
thing as private bank in this state.
Now let us have state bank examin-
alton that will protect the banks as
well as the public, and the state
will be panic proof.
