Senator Clague has introduced

Senator Clague has introduced a
practical temperance bill. It relates
to minors entering saloons and pro-
vides a penalty, not only for the
saloon keeper who admits the minor
to his place of business, but for the
lad who goes into the saloon. This is
right. We often lay all of the blame
on to the saloon keeper when half if
not more rightfully belongs to the one
who makes himself nuisance about
his place. Martin County Sentinel.
That bill should become a law.
But there should be an amendment
tackled onto it which wouldmake it a
felony for saloon keeper, or any other
person, to sell or give to a minor or
drunkard Intoxicating drink. It is
the sboot-leggers" and not saloon
keepers who generally furnish minors
and confirmed drunkards with intoxi-
eating drink. 4

If the claim Of the attorney for the
imprisoned Pittsburg council grafters
is substantiated those rascally robbers
are being illegally held. Their at
torney contends that they were con-
victed under a law which had been
repealed and never re-enacted. Pre-
Stunning this to be true, Pittsburg must
certainly have bright prosecuting at
torney to bring suit under law which
did not exist. But, then again, on
the other hand, it is not altogether i'm
possible that the prosecutor was in
collusion-for a consideration of
course-with the grafters. Nothing in
the line of corruption causes much sur
prise in rotten Pittsburg.

Electrocution, as means of produc-
ing instantaneous death, has proven
to be failure. This was demon
strated at Sing Sing prison on Mon
day, when it required three successive
shocks from the electric battery before
William Jones, negro murderer, was
declared by the physicians to be dead.
From this it is shown that the electric
chair is no more or less than a brutal
instrument of torture-a device which
should be prohibited.

In one respect at least President
Roosevelt was no different from any
of his predecessors made many
enemies. But it must be borne in
mind that the majority of these enc
mics are enemies of the country at
large-trusts, grafters, character as
sassins and other undesirable citizens
whose noses he brought to the grind
stone. He would have been a poor
stick indeed had he made no enemies.
Even George Washington, the father
of his country, made many enemies,
as is shown by the Philadelphia
Aurora, published on March 6, 1897.
In an editorial on the first president
the Aurora says in part:
If ever there was a period of re-
joicing this is the moment. Every
heart in union with the happiness and
freedom of the people ought to beat
high with exultation that the name of
Washington ceases from this day to
give currency to political insults and
to legalize corruption. A new era is
now opening upon us-an era which
promises much to the people-for pub
lie measures must now stand upon
their own merits and nefarious
projects can no longer be supported

In response to an invitation from
the state legislature James j. Hill on
Thursday addressed the members OF
that body in joint assembly. He
chose for his subject the preservation
of our agricultural resources and pro-
posed to the legislature a plan which
he believed would accomplish great
results in the way of realizing the
utmost possibilities of the soil and at
the same time preserve it's fertility.
His suggestion was that this legisla-
ture appropriate $4,000, to be ex-
pended under the direction of the agri-
cultural college, and that two hun
dred graduates of the agricultural
school be scattered over the state to
give practical demonstrations to farm
ers of what can be accomplished by
scientific methods. Mr.. Hill has
studied this question of the preserva-
ton of agricultural resources for
twenty-five years and is one of the
best authorities on the subject in the
country. In consequence his advice
is eagerly sought on such matters and,
wheresoever followed, has invariably
proved valuable.

APLEA FOR JUSTICE.

Next Wednesday the Bjorge tonnage
tax bill 1.-The bill that provides for the
imposition of q special tax on iron ore
to be paid into the state treasury-will
be a special order in the house, and
after thorough discussion it will be
either adopted or rejected by the house
on that day. The position of the
Union on this tonnage tax proposition
is well known. We believe tonnage
tax is wrong in principle; an ad
valorem tax is simpler, better and
more equitable. The state has no
moral right, even if it has the constitu-
tional right, to impose an negotiable
and unjust special tax upon the
special product of any particular
county; the state is entitled to the
general state tax, no more or no
less. If any special tax is to be levied
upon any special product of any par
ticular county the amount raised
should be expended within the limits
of the county from which it is derived,
more especially is this true of St.
Louis and other northeastern counties
where settlers are so scattering that it
is almost impossible for them to build
roads and maintain school houses by
the ordinary methods of taxation.
Any singing out of the iron ore in
dustry for special taxation will have
a tendency, to say the least, to retard
if not altogether prevent the building
up of a large iron-manufacturing
center at the head of the lakes. A
larger and greater Duluth means much
to the farmers and dairymen of north
eastern Minnesota. There is no sense
or justice in imposing an unjust tax
that will work an injury to one section
of the state and at the same time will
not Tighten the burdens of the tax
payers in other sections of the state to
the extent of a fraction of mill on
the dollar, for experience has proven
that the more taxes there are raised
by indirect methods of taxation the
greater the expenditures. We believe
there are enough broad-gauge, fair
minded men in the house to prevent
the passage Of a bill that can only be
defended on the principle that might
makes right, and may, if enacted into
a law, work incalculable injury to St.
Louis county and northeastern Minue-
sofa.
