The charges that Hon. J. F. Jacob
SOD was the candidate of the "inter-
ests" have reacted against the insti-
gators in most empathic manner.
The cunningly devised insinuations
were so plainly the work of a clumsy
political character that they we're at
once Analysed by the people and the
authorship placed just where it be-
longed. Twenty years of continual
devotion to the best interests of all
the people of Minnesota, has made a
record for jacobson so sound and un-
impeachable that even the "interests''
alluded to in the insinuations would
gladly choose jacobson for their can
didate in preference to one that would
falsely charge him with seeking their
favor for their political influence.
Even the Interests" referred to pre-
fer candidate that will give them an
honest square deal without fear or
favor to one that-well, one that
would make false charges against an
honest man. Three-quarters of the
voters in Minnesota regard jacobson
as man absolutely honest and incor-
ruptible, devoted to the best interests
of the people Of his state, a man who
would carry with him into the high
office of governor the entire confidence
Of the people. AS champion of in.
tegrity and equal justice jacobson
has always made good.-Rush City

St. Peter Free Press. There is one
feature about Attorney General
Young's attitude affecting questions
of freight and passenger rates that
would seem to need explanation. If
he really means to get fair rates for
the public why is it that he persist
emily opposes Mr.. Manahan in his ef-
forts for thorough examination OF
witnesses IN posi- ions to furnish de-

material whether Young likes Mana
han personally or not. The rate cases
are not a personal affair between the
two attorneys. What the public wants
is results and it is getting tired of the
petty quarrels between the attorney
general and the railroad commission
er on one side and Manahan on the
other. Of Commissioner Mills but
little is expected but the people do
have some confidence in Mr.. Young.

IRE IN HEHRTQF LQND0N

There is a tree in Cheapside, Lon
don, that may be described as the
most expensive of its kind on earth.
II five-dollar gold pieces filled the en-
tire trunk and five-dollar bills fluttered
in the place of every one of the
leaves. it would not buy the land it
occupies. For the land on which it
stands, the northwest corner of Wood
street and Cheapside, is worth $4,500,-
OOO an acre. The tree has stood on
this spot for more than 200 years:
meanwhile its site has augmented in
value to almost fabulous proportions.
There have been several hard.fought
lawsuits over this plot of ground, the
tight having been carried even to the
house of lords: but, so far, the law.
yers have never been able to break
through the phalanx of enactments
which preserve the tree. In the first
place, there is law in England which
prohibits builders from putting up q
structure which shall keep out the
light from windows which bear the
mysterious words, Ancient Lights"
This tree In Cheapside is literally sur
rounded by number of ancient lights
proprietors, whose consent has never
been obtained when it came to cutting
down the tree and putting a modern
structure on it's site, For the same
reason, the storekeeper who rents the
tiny two-story structure on the corner
just in front of the tree has never
been able to put his building up be-
You'd it's present height. Some years
ago, one builder, who thought himself
more cute than the others, started to
take the law into his own hands and
put up building, thinking to arrange
with the owners of the ancient lights
afterward. But he was met with q
perfect shower of injunctions, pro-
,,ceedings, writs and indictments, more
than would have covered the tree in
it's full spring bloom.
A few years ago, some gardeners
were ordered to lop off certain limbs
of the tree which hung over Cheap
side. 1t was done really to save the
life of the tree, and had the consent
of the parish clerk and churchward-
ems of Saint Peters, Cheapside, the
ancient little Norman church in Fos-
ter Lane, near by, who guard this
tree from the vandals' clutches. When
the men began to work on the tree,
however, it created sensation in
Cheapside. They are chopping down
our tree" went up from a thousand
angry threats in the district. Police
men were called and there would have
been another shower of writs, injunc-
tons and proceedings had not the
minister of the parish explained the
real reason for the looping operations.
Another almost impossible barrier
which protects the tree in it's position
is the fact that it grows in sacred
ground There is law in London
that no building can be erected on
sacred ground without special act of
parliament, and woe betide the I'm.
happy man who dares to put up even
shanty within the sacred precincts
