Editor Heard of the Montevideo
Leader, a Johnson appointee, has this
to say of Mr.. Jacobson's speech:
"Mr. jacobson spoke for over an
hour and half, taking up his legis-
lative record and his work while a
member of the board of control and
showing something of the work he had
attempted or accomplished for the
people of our state. He answered in
facetious vein some of the criticisms
that had been made against him and
took up other charges made by his
opponent, in more serious and
spirited way, that evoked the interest
and applause of his hearers. Alto
gether his speech was a good one for
his side, and he certainly could not
complain at the attention and interest
manifested by his Montevideo audi
ence."

James j. Hill, in the course of a
speech before the Farmers National
congress at Madison, Wis, last Fri
day gave this excellent advice:
"Above everything else send your
boys and girls to the agricultural
colleges, where modern systems OF
tillage are taught" declared the
speaker amid long applause. "The
opportunity is ample. There are
sixty-three colleges and universities
now receiving aid under acts of
congress as condition of maintain
ing a course in agriculture. Keep
them, if you possibly can, in good
agricultural schools, and save them
from the temptation of trying to ape
the airs OF the university. They are
today the most useful, the most fruit
ful educational institutions in the
country. See that the children of the
farm go where they will not be taught
to despise the soil or long for future
freed from it's labors, but will learn
the fact, now being fully understood,
that the right kind of farming offers
scope for the keenest intelligence, oc-
cupation for the most active brain
and opportunity and reward for the
highest AMBITION"

9fThe acceptance by Governor John
son of place in the Bryan cabinet
is taken as for granted here," says a
Washington dispatch. This dispatch
possesses the earmarks of the kitchen
cabinet and doubtless emanated from
that coterie of hirelings. A more
absurd story it would be difficult to
fabricate. In the first place Bryan
has to be elected before he can offer
Johnson portfolio and in the second
he has to tender it before it can be
accepted-neither of which will ever oc.
cur. Even we're Bryan to be elected

The removal of stumps from cut
over timber lands has always been
more or less an expensive operation.
But now comes a Wisconsin farmer
with the claim that mixture consist
ing of equal parts of nitric and sui
phuric acid poured into auger holes in
the stumps will reduce them to a
pulpy mass within thirty days. The
holes should be drilled with two-inch
auger and extend downward into the
stumps two feet. Four cents per
stump, says the inventor, is the cost
of the process. It would cost but little
to prove the utility of this compound.

Smith Riley, chief inspector of the,
national forest service, who has one
OF his subordinates in. Minnesota in
vestigating fire conditions for the
government, and who has made run
through the ire-swept districts himself,
says that the only way of preventing
forest contlagrations is by means of
a partol system such as that which has
been introduced by the government
Fire patrol during ''the dangerous
season." he says, is absolutely neces-
sary in forested regions. The advice
is good and should be considered by
those empowered to make such provi-
sions as suggested.

It is intimated in the papers that
Governor Johnson was; not over
anxious to meet William Jennings
Bryan during his visit to Minneapolis
last Sunday. Ex-Governor Lind gave
dinner in honor Of Mr.. Bryan to
which the governor was invited, but
it was given out that the governor
was suffering from an attack OF
ptomaine poisoning and could not
attend. The governor spoke at Still
water on Saturday evening and at
Winona on Monday evening, so he
could not have been very seriously
indisposed. Mr.. Bryan IS friends are
indignant. They feel that Governor
Johnson has intentionally slighted
their idolized leader in order to curry
favor with Taft republicans.

of Jacobson being supported by the

the railroads were supporting John

Throughout the country the labor
unions are supporting Mr.. Taft. In
Minneapolis on Sunday he was waited
upon by delegation from the Order
of Railway Conductors, who expressed
themselves as much gratifed at the
fair stand he had taken and assured
him that he stood we'll with the order.
Another nail was thereby driven into
Gompers, the pompous head of the

the labor vote to Bryan.

So S. W. Leavett must get off the
state board of control if John A.
johnson is reelected governor. The
governor himself has said so in a
public speech at Saltwater. Mr..
Leavett has been a member of the
board since it was first established
and he is one of the ablest and most
conscientious of the states officials.
But he is opposed to converting the
board into a political machine and is
the relentless enemy of grafters, and
has incurred the enmity of the small
bore politicians, hence he is marked
for slaughter if our great non partisan
governor is reelected

The speeches of Mr.. Taft in the twir
cities fully demonstrated that he is a
man who has not received due ap.
probation. He has been much under.
rated. MIR. Taft proved himself to be
an eloquent speaker, a deep thinker
a man of powerful intellect who has
carefully studied the ponderous
questions of the day. He
analyzed these great questions as
only man who has been a deer
student could possibly have done.
Besides, the next president is a man
of remarkable executive ability, dip.
lomat and the possessot of an attrac.

In speech at Chicago last Thurs
day before 5000 railroad; employees
Mr.. Taft defended himself against
Samuel Gompers' charge that he has
dealt unfairly with workingmen, and if
the cheering with which bis defense
was received counts for anything
Gompers' charges were unanimously
refuted. It was a great victory for
Mr.. Taft-a victory which proved
Gompers a prevaricator and showed
that it was not within his power to
turn the labor vote over to Mr.. Bryan,
as he had threatened.

This, from the Cleveland Leader. is
a pretty bit of sentiment: 1.-THE latest
Grand Army encampment is always
the best, the finest, the most thrilling.
AS the ranks close and the lines
shorten the benediction of time rests
more lovingly on the gray heads OF
heroes. The great league of the men
who saved the republic is held dearer
and more sacred as it dwindles toward
the inevitable end. It's encampments
are altar fires of patriotism. Its
soldiers of long ago are immortal
warriors of civic righteousness.

Down in Waco, Texas, the inhabi-
tants refused to attend meeting where
Aaron B. Watson, vice-presidential
candidate of the prohibition party was
advertised to speak on Sunday, upon
the grounds that the day was not a
proper one upon which to talk politics.
While Sunday political speeches are
not in good form, yet we cannot see
wherein it is greater sacrilege for a
candidate to harangue multitude on
that day than it is for minister to
talk politics from the pulpit-and this
has become common custom.

MATTER FOR THE LEGISLATURE
TO DETERMINE,

4 NATTER FOR THE LEGISLATURE
TO DETERMINE.
In his speech at, Clarkfeld Mr..
Jacobson took the position that the
county option question was matter
for the legislature to determine. AT
the same time, without equivocation
or evasion, he asserted that if he we're
governor and the legislature passed a
county option bill he would unhesitat-
ingly sign the same. We quote Mr..
Jacobson's own words:
"The question of the regulation OF
the liquor traffic in this state is now
uppermost. I have always been a
consistent supporter of all legislation
that would tend to lessen the evil of
lntemperance and my attitude on this
question is too we'll known and is
too clearly a matter of record to re-
quire extended comment. County
option has become a live question in
all the Legislative districts of the state.
This is a matter that will come before
the legislature in some form or another
and it is distinctively a matter for
legislative enactment. But nv
position on this subject is just what it
has always been. And I can assure
the people of the state most positively
that ii a county option law should be
passed by the next legislature and
come before me for signature as gov
ernor, in case of my election, 1 should
promptly and unhesitatingly..si it. -
