People are flocking to Montana to register
on the public lands which will be opened there
by the lottery system. More money will be
spent than all the lands are worth, for it is esti-
mated that there will be hundred applicants
for every farm.
The Browns Valley Tribune suggests that
the senators who met in St. Paul to kick about
the pork barrel suit also picked the next Re-
publican nominee for governor Don't waste
any bets on the man who is picked out at this
stage of the game.
The attorney-general has now ruled that
the carrying of rock free by the railroads is not
violation of the anti-pass law of this state. The
railroads offered to carry crushed rock from ST.
Cloud free in order to assist in the building of
better roads, This is a liberal policy on the
part of the railroads, and will react to their
benefit in the long run.

however, says he might call extra session if

THE MORALS OF OPTIMISM.

Chicago Post-"In support of the doctrine
of optimism, to which the American heart in
stinctively inclines, President Arthur Twining
Hadley in his baccalaureate sermon at Yale ad-
vances reason that is something attrac-
tive than those get from nonagenrians
and successful business men. 1t puts morals
into the opportunism of keep Smiling.''
CDR Hadley laid down as the fundamental
greatness the requirements that man be up
right himself and that che believe in the good
intentions and possibilities of others about him."
The first qualification he thought that this
country well understood, but the second SEEM
ed to be in danger of neglect. Its Importance
he phrased most effectively as follows:
The man who is cynical, whether about
men or business or politics. is assumed-and in
nineteen out of twenty with full Justice
to be immoral in his relations to women or busi-
ness or politics. The man who has faith in the
integrity of others in the face of irresponsible
accusations is assumed-and in nineteen cases
out of twenty justly assumed--to have the con-
fdence in others goodness because he is good
man himself. This is why people will follow
the optimist even though he is sometimes
wrong, and shun the pessimist even though he
is sometimes right.
The proportions may be stated here too
broadly, but truth underlies the thought Mr.
Roosevelt illustration of the man who
was not only upright himself but who never
hesitated to appeal for the heaviest supplies of
righteousness from his fellow Americans. And
he always received them in full measure. On
the other hand, a with the abilities of
Aaron Burr failed sgnally, primarily because
there was in him contemptuous distrust of
others.
when we are young we accept the pro-
fessional cynic and admire him. When we are
older we see that cynicism continuous per-
formance is often sheer 1aziness, often shallow
ness, often cowardice and often immortality:
Only in the rare instance when it comes like
flash of light from the cool pool of serious
mind does it perform the high service that is
within it's possibilities.
Essentially the trust in ones fellow man
for which President Hadley pleads is Demo
cracy. That it implies a moral optimism is
something that we can afford neither to over
look to undervalue in our actual daily con-
duct If we do not believe in ourselves and in
each other who else will believe in US or in our
republic?"

THE PORK BARREL" DECISION.
The supreme court has declared the "pork
barrep' law to be unconstitutional, and no more
money will be forthcoming from the state reve-
nue. fund to aid in the construction of roads and
bridges. This decision was maintained by all
who could or would read the plain prohibition
contained in the constitution.
Section on 5, Article TX of the constitution
says that "the state shall never contract any
debts for works of internal Improvements, or be
party in carrying such works, except in
cases where grants of land other property
shall have been made to the state, especially
dedicated by grant to specific purposes and in
such cases the state shall devote thereto the
avails of such grants and may pledge or appro-
pirate the revenues derived from such works
in aid of their completion."
This is perfectly plain, and the supreme
court says that when the language of the con-
stituton is positive and free from all am b guilty
courts not at liberty, by resort to the re-
finements of legal learning, to restrict it's
obvious meaning to avoid the hardships of
particular cases."
AS we have formerly explained the state
has road and bridge fund which is obtained
from the internal improvement fund donated
by the general government and also by limit
. ed levy authorized by the constitution.
s S
The decision also indicates that the state
appropriations for drainage, capitol approaches,
and other works of ''internal improvement" are
also illegal. More of these illegal appropria-
tions would be cut off if suit were started to
test them.
I S
If the appropriations for drainage are sub
sequently declared invalid, great hardship
would result. All recognize the necessity of
the state drainage work which is now be-
ing carried on, but at the present time, the
drainage funds are provided entirely from
the general fund of the state, and if this were
cut off, all state drainage work would have
to cease.
The supreme court decision intimates, how
ever, that state drainage fund could be Great
ed by other means. The present "internal i'm
provement fund" now devoted entirely to roads
and bridges, arises from the provisions of sec
tion of the enabling act, which provides that
5 per cent of the net proceeds of the sale of
public lands lying within the state shall be PAID
to the state for the purpose of making public
roads and internal improvement. A good share
of this fund could then, be used by the state
for drainage work and other internal improve
rnents while the state road and bridge fund
could be provided by All increased tax levy un-
der the "good roads amendment passed in
1906.

he effect of he decisio h0uzeuer
Morris tribune., 1909-07-17

The greatest effect of the decision, however,
will be in the cutting out of an undesirable
feature of the biennial sessions of the legisla-
ture. With 100000 "pork barrel" to dstri-
butte, members of the Legislature have been
much more anxious to secure liberal slice of
''pork" for their home county than they have
been to enact reform legislation. The pork
barrel' has been wonderfully effective means
of tanning the reform forces in the legislature
and wonderful aid to the predatory interests
in getting thru undesirable legislation. With
out the pork barrel' to be used in lining up
the country Legislators, better Legislation can
be expected.
Morris tribune., 1909-07-17

OF course some members of the Legislature
are foolish enough to want the state road and
bridge money distributed by the pork barrel
method, and at the next session an assault will
probably be made of the state highway COM
mission Before that time, however, the peo-
pie will understand that this is not to their in
terest, and any candidate for the Legislature
who want to throw the state road and bridge
fund into pork barrel will be viewed with
suspicion.
