LEGISLATIVE POLITICS.

The editor of the Herman Review keeps
pretty close tab on things political in this leg
islative district, and if all that he says be true
lively contest is in prospect for next year.
The situation at the present time appears to be
too unsettled for comment other than that it is
most unfortunate that Mr.. Bicknel's bill CIV
ing each county in the district representative
did not pass the senate SO as to avoid the tan
gled situation that again seems in prospect
The Review says
"Things in this legislative district polite
ally is beginning to stir and before the break of
spring we may see many full fledged candidates
out for positions from the 57th. Mr.. ]. E.
Peterson of Barrett, who almost as a stranger
in the district four years ago, came within 100
votes of gaining seat in the lower branch of
the Legislature, is considering another try for
the House. He will not be the only candidate
from this county as Ole A. Pikop, the political
wizard of Elbow Lake township is taking on
political ambitions in alarming proportions and
may shy the caster. This will make it lively
condition of affairs from this end of the district
and as Stevens and Traverse will also have
candidates for the House, we look for some
sharp contests. For the senatorship Mr.. Cane
storp has signifed no intention to let loose of
the job and it may not be forthcoming, and as
such he may return uncontested Mr.. Foss of
this county has am bitions to succeed Mr.. Cane
storp, but far known activity has been
shown from his camp. Messrs Spooner and
Bickne1l will be satisfied to return to the House
unless on opportunity presents itself for them
to break into the Senate. Attorney Murphy of
Wheaton has been spoken of Traverse
comfy candidate for either the House Sen
ate, and Per Johanson is to be reckoned with
from that county. Mr.. Peterson is brother
n-law of Gov. Eberhardt and this may add to
his might candidate.

Towns on the Leech Lake Indian reserva-
tion have had some experience with the strong
arm of the federal law the past week. The sa-
looms have repeatedly violated the law relative
to selling liquor to Indians. The federal au-
thorities notified the saloons that the practice
must be stopped, and when it was persisted in,
the federal officers raided the saloons in
Mahnomen and other towns. The difficulty
has now been reported compromised, and
those saloons which have not sold to Indians
will be allowed to continue in business. The
federal officers base their authority old
treaty with the Chippewas which provided that
the sale of liquor should forever be prohibited
in the Indian country" The strict reading of
this treaty prohibits the sale of liquor in all
that part of the state north and west of Mime
apols, but the federal officers do not insist
it's enforcement except in those parts of the
state where there Indians.

ADVERTISING MINNESOTA.

John J. Furong has just come home from
the Seattle Exposition, and from attending 9th
er fairs out that way enthusiastic about Min
nesota. That's generally the way. To make
man appreciate Minnesota let him travel around
awhile.
Mr. Furlong is first vice president of our
state association and went out to attend fairs
and the best that the extreme Northwest
could do. The thing that impressed him most
was not the resources of the Pacific coast coun-
try, but the way they are advertised. And he
wants to jump right into a campaign of adver-
tsing Minnesota. He doesn't like to thou
sands of people every week running right over
Minnesota to sections of the country that
haven't as much to offer in the way of natural
resources as state has, but which get the
immigration because they advertise and Min
nesota doesn't pretty nearly doesn't
This is old story, about Minnesota doing
nothing by comparison to get settlers, but there
is lot of truth in it. One trouble is that there
are no large interests to do it. The railroads
won't because they have land left worth
talking about and they advertise for the long
haul which takes people out beyond this state.
There are no large bodies of land in private
hands to be exploited. It is a case of small
holders, except the state which has hundreds of
thousands of acres, but is not in hurry to sell
them they getting more valuable every
year. and the state doesn't need the money.
But that policy is not in the public inter
est, unless we very much mistaken. The
public interest is promoted more, we believe,
by improvement of these lands and by settle
ment of other lands and the increase of rural
population with corresponding increase of pro-
duction. That's matter to be undertaken in
the general interest. Local prejudice has oper-
ated against it to some extent some sections
fearing that others would profit by such ex-
ploitation more than they, or at their expense
That is narrow and shortsighted view and it
defeats programme which should operate to
the advantage of every section of the state-not
some sections as to others, but ultimately to
ALL But it is something that calls for co-opera-
ton and getting together for the general good.
Lit that spirit could be induced and vigorous
state advertising campaign inaugurated and
carried on for a few years by the state for the
benefit OF the state, there is not section or
corner of the state, and not an acre of land that
mand that could be created. Such campaign
would cost money but he who has something
worth advertising and advertises it we'll is the
one who does the business in that line. That
is just as true of communities as it is of in
dividuals.-St Paul Dispatch

FRIDAY, OCTOBER IS, 1909.

Boss Cannon will at the next session of
Parsons that Cannon entered into a deal with
Tammany whereby the Republicans in New
York were to assist Tammany in defeated re-
form legislation in New York, and Tammany
was to assist Cannon to election speaker.
Probably there will be move made to appoint
an Investigating committee and the test of
strength between Cannon and the insurgents
will come on what kind of committee shall be
appointed. Cannon will probably want to ap-
point whitewashing committee.
The Minneapolis Journal announces that
L. C. Spooner is candidate for the Republican
congressional nomination on an anti-Cannon
PLATFORM There must be mistake about
this, or perhaps the reporter perpetrated. joke
on our serious statesman. To run for congress
on an anti Cannon platform in a district in
which not one-tenth of one per cent of the vot-
ers are in favor of Speaker Cannon and his
policies is like flying in the face of Fate and de-
mands particularly large quote of Spoonerian
courage. Courtesy demands that Mr..
Vostead announce himself as candidate on
a Cannon platform.

Charles w. Morse, the New York fnancer
who was convicted of violation of the national
banking laws during the panic of 1907, has fail
ed on his appeal to the circuit court and faces
a fifteen year sentence. Morse has made a
most spectacular recovery of his financial re-
sources. Four months ago, while his case was
being appealed he was released under very
heavy ball. and Immediately plunged into
business. In that four months it is said that
he has paid off $7,OOO,OOO of his Indebtedness
and regained control of large part of his ex-
tensive steamship interests Any man that can
make money at that rate honestly deserves his
freedom and opportunity to pay off all his
debts, but any that is sharp enough to
make that amount of money by methods that
are legal but dishonest deserved to be locked
up general principles.

The bank guarantee plan of Oklahoma is
now having one of it's severest tests in the sus-
pension of the states largest financial institu-
tion-the Columbia Banking and Trust COM
pany of Oklahoma City-with deposits of more
than 100000. When little bank of $4,000
liabilities failed last summer and depositors
were paid in full, no very severe test was i'm
posed on the bank guarantee plan, but the plan
is due now to receive real test. There is no
hurry about declaring the plan either success
or a fai1nre. as few months time will demon
strate the truth.

$546 worth of machinery and horses to plow,

STEAMER MISSING.
The Lady SybiI Is Long Overdue from

80 hours overdue the Plant LiuC
steamer Lady Sybil, Capt. NJ. Wraigh-
ton that left Boston at noon on Sat
urtiay last had not arrived in port Ut
to o'clock this (Tuegday) morning.
The n-arrival OF the steamer has
caused considerable anxiety among
those having friends and relatives
aboard. The trip usually takes her
about 50 hours and she should have
arrived here late Sunday night.
\ heavy gaze swept the Atlantic
coast Saturday and Sunday. Steam
crs arriving here reported Il very try
ing time and the Lady Sybil likely
had a very hard experience. The gen
eral opinion along the water front is
that she had to lay to on account If
the heavy seas as otherwise she should
have been along some time today
