The Minnesota Federation of Commercial
Clubs are asking for an appropriation from the
state legislature of 100000 to be used by the
state immigration department to advertise the
state. Some editors very inconsistently oppose
so large an appropriation arguing that it will
all be spent III city papers or that it will be used
only to advertise the cities instead of the
country. The objections have no force what
ever, because the money will be spent in ac-
cordance with the best Judgment of the immi-
grafton board, and like all money spent in
advertising there is little chance that it will
be wasted altho no two men would spend it in
the same way So far as the size of the appro-
priation is concerned, it is very small amount
for state wealthy Minnesota to set aside
for advertising.
Morris tribune., 1909-01-23

Pioneer Press, Editorial: Ohio and New
York are examples of states which adhere to
the good old constitutional plan of choosing
United States senators through their 1egisla-
lures. Ohio has just turned down two rich
Bosses, each backed by powerful machine .
and elected Theodore Burton, without
wealth and with no machine, but with splen-
did record of public service. New York turns
down all the old-style politicians and elects
Elihu Root, the statesman whom President
Roosevelt once described as intellectually "the
greatest living man in this or any other coun-
try" Could any state have done better?
Missouri has adopted the new plan OF
choosing United States senators, in defiance OF
the constitution, by the direct vote of the peo-
ple Under this plan, William J. Stone, one OF
trickiest and meanest politicians known in the
history of the state, is reuominated for the SEN
ate; and Joseph w. Folk, one of the finest men
and foremost reformers, in the nation, is de-
feated in his just ambition and retired to pr1-
vate life Could any state have done worse?

Governor Johnson recommended to the
Legislature that state department be
created to have charge of the great business
interests of the state itself, like state lands,
state timber and state mines. These interests
are now looked after by the state auditors
Office which is primarily simply accounting
department The plan was at first opposed
by State Auditor Iverson, but the suggestion
is not Objectionable and Mr.. Iverson some time
later announced that he in accord with the
plan, which announcement followed by
the governor with the announcement that he
knew of no better man to head the new depart
ment than the same Mr.. Iverson. If the de-
partment is created and Mr.. Iverson is appoint
ed the governor will have the appointing of
his successor, and thus in the of the
changes made will have the distribution of
about eighty plums to the faithful.
Is Mr.. Johnson politician? No, he simply
evolved this whole plan in order to improve
the administration of the affairs of the great
state of Minnesota
A determined effort is being made to so
amend the anti-pass law that policeman, fire
men and others may ride free There is no
need of the change, and when once attempt
is made to change the law from it's original
purpose, there will be end to exceptions
which could for plausible reason be
made. The attorney general has ruled that all
public officers even to notaries public who are
also employees of railroads must gi We up their
passes, and it is announced that L. w Hill, who
is a member of the state highway commission,
will hereafter pay his fare his own road.
Such cases not in line with the original
purpose of the law, and it will not initiate
against the law to have an exception made of
bona tide employees of railroads. Under the
present construction of the law, no railroad
man can hold his passes and still retain pub
lie Office He must give up or the other.
Other examples of the injustice which the pre-
sent ruling has worked are that Mr. Weyer-
hauser, the lumber king, had to get off the
state forestry board because he was a director
in several roads. Superintendent Sovereign OF
the Northern Pacific is member of the Staples
school board and must resign pay fare as he
goes about his division of the road J. w.
Mason of Fergus Falls who rides free the
Great Northern as it's attorney, has been oblig
ed to resign from the Fergus Falls charter
commission. J. L. Washburn, the Duluth rail-
road attorney, must get off the Normal board.
Judge Thomas Wilson and Pierce Butler of the
University regents must resign or pay fare
when they go over the roads for which they
counsel This rule applies to all men in
the employ of the railway companies who ride
upon passes even in the discharge of their
duties.

The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1909-10-05

Notwithstanding the automobiles
owned in Vermont represent the pow
er of 10000 horses, the hundred old
Morgans at the state fair, last week
attracted more attention and more adj
miration than a lineup of all the
"honk-wagons" could have done. Had
the Morgan breeders of the west
side" shown their animals to the ex-
tent they might have done, it would
have all been the best horse show
ever held on New England soil. This
side of Vermont should wake up TO
the fact of it's opportunity, before
next year brings the state fair
around again.-Burlingto Clipper.
There was also the largest collec-
ton of automobiles ever seen togeth-
er in this state The automobile en-
closure on the grounds at one time
on the second day of the fair con
tanned around 500 machines and the
enclosure will have to be enlarged be
fore another year But there is room
in Vermont for both horses and auto
mobiles and their interests are rather
similar after all.

Half a century ago, Rev. FIR. John
O'Brien of Lowell Mass, through
overwork and exposure became seri-
ousy run down. A cold and stubborn
cough and lung trouble threatened his
life An eminent specialist gave
Father John prescription to cure
the cold and remove the lung trouble,
as well as to build up and strengthen
the body. The clergyman began to
I improve at once, the cough disappear
ed and his lungs healed. 1t corrected
his digestion, made new tissue, and
Father John was soon restored to his
| former health and strength.
Father John recommended the med
icine to his Pensioners and friends,
and because of its merits 1t became
the family remedy in thousands of
homes, and became known as Father
Johns Medicine" having been so
named by the people and was adver-
tised all with approval of Father
John.
1t will cure all throat and lung
troubles, prevent Consumption, and
make flesh and strength If taken
| faithfully 1t is not a patent medi-
cine, and does not contain alcohol or
! poisonous drugs.
AS a guarantee that the story of
Father Johns Medicine is absolutely
true, the sum of $25.000.00 will be
given to any charitable institution if
it can be shown otherwise
