WEIGH DOING GOOD WORK.

We occasionally hear about
Minnesota Immigration Bureau,
just where they are or what they
are doing is not so plain. The
people in the con jested centers and
in places where farm property has
reached the prohibition figure,
should be informed through some
reliable source, that there are thou
sands upon thousands of acres of
good tillable land in Northern
Minnesota that can be secured at
from $500 to $1,000 per acre.
There are numerous tracts of land
IN this part of the state where
there is wood and logs enough on
the land to pay for it, at the price
it is held at, and it has been
clearly demonstrated that this is an
ideal country for stock raising and
dairy farming. This Immigration
Bureau that has been lost, strayed
or stolen," should be located and
put to work. -Akeley Herald.
Brother Geise should read up"
a few. The papers of the twin
cities, Bemidji and other places in
the state have been filled of late
with glowing accounts of the work
that is being done by this same
Minnesota Immigration Bureau to-
ward informing the land-hungry as
to where they can get just such
land as is mentioned in the above
article.
George Welsh, the new commits
sioner of immigration, is doing
great service in inducing settlers
to come to the state, and, more
over, he is great friend of the

During L. +. Cooper's recent visit to
Chicago, where his new preparation
and theory created the usual sensation
many hundreds of people brought
enormous internal parasites to the
young man, which had left the system
after taking his medicine.
Among these people was Mr.. Emil
Winkler, who brought to Cooper a
tapeworm that proved to be over
ninety feet in length. Mr.. Winkler,
who resides at 1872 East Ohio Street,
Chicago, had this to say of his expe.
rience: For five years I have been
more or less complaining. have had
severe headaches, and any food that I

Could We Live on Mars?

The physical conditions on Mars are
in many ways intermediate between
those found upon the earth and the
moon, and it seems plausible that the
life existing upon it should similarly
be of higher type than that found on
the moon and of lower type than
that found at present on the surface of
the earth. Even if the physical condi-
tions, as We understand them, were
equally favorable with those on the
earth, civilization would by no means
be necessary consequence Had it
not been settled by Europeans the
United States would still be a wilder
ness. How much less should we hasten
to accord civilization to a planet of
which we know little, except that if
we were transported there ourselves
we should instantly die.-Professor W.

ITSREASON|NGF FAULT LTY.
Mr.. Bryan Comments on Latest
Supreme Court Decision.
CONGRESS WITHIN RIGHTS
Declares Corporations Are the crea-
lures of Law and as Such Should
Enjoy Only the Rights and Priv
ileges Conferred on Them. -

Washington, Jan. 29.-W. J. Bryan
again visited the lobby of the house of
representatives and spent an hour or
more in the company of Representa-
tive Ollie James of Kentucky, shaking
hands and chatting with members.
Mr.. Bryan's attention being called
to the supreme court decision holding
that corporation has a right to dis
charge a man because he is member
OF a labor union he dictated the fol-
lowing statement to the Associated
Press:
II have not had an opportunity to
read the decision, having seen only
the account of it in the morning pa
pers. The subject is one of vital i'm
portance and 1 do not understand by
what course of reasoning the majority
of the court reached the decision an
nounced. A corporation is creature
of law. 1t has no rights except those
given it by law and it must not be
confused with the natural man. Man
was created to carry out divine pur-
pose; the corporation was created to
make money. The corporation enjoys
many rights and privileges which are
denied to the individual and it can
not claim the possession of any nat
ural or inalienable rights. The power
that creates corporation can restrict
it, restrain it and control it and con-
gress has plenary powers in dealing
with corporations in so far as they
engage in interstate commerce.
Did Not Exceed Its Power.
''Whatever may be the rights of an
individual in dealing with other in
.lividuals the government certainly
has the right to determine the condi-
tions upon which a corporation can
exist and do business and congress ;
can fix the terms upon which state
corporation can engage in Interstate
commerce.

and If man can be discharged be-
cause he belongs to a labor union by
the same logic he can be discharged

jectionahle to the employer or to a
church against which the employer is
prejudiced.
"Followed to it's logical conclusion
the principle laid down by the court,
as I understand the decision, would
enable the corporation to set itself up
as dictator in regard to the habits,
thoughts and convictions of it's en-
ployes on any and every subject.
"The fact that two of the justices
have dissented enables me to dissent
from the conclusion of the majority
without disrespect to the ability or
high power of those who have given
what regard as an erroneous con-

ADMIT DEEDS OF BRUTALITY
Officers Of Illinois Reformatory Tes-
tify at Investigation.


Pontiac, Ill.,, Jan. 29.-Members of
the board of managers of the Illinois
state reformatory in this city, at a
session here, heard stories from the
lips of officers of the institution them
selves of brutality and torture inflict-
ed upon Willie Hamlin, an inmate,
whose death and the conflicting ex-
plantations thereof has raised storm
of criticism. The original story that
the board convened to inquire into,
that Hamlin was beaten and kicked
into a condition that resulted in his
death, has as yet received no con-
firmation other than the boys ante
mOrtem statement to his mother But
though Fastening to explain that they
did not heat, the disciplinarians of
the institution admit that they admin
istered punishment beside which a
beating would be child's play.
