The Minneapolis Journal attacked
the "porkbarrel" road and bridge
appropriation. Senator Thorpe
comes to the rescue with an article
published April 26, in which he
cites the Foot lake dump case espe-
cially as justification of the law.
The Journal rejoins in the issue ed
itorially, declaring this law to be
"unbusinesslike, selfish and unpa-
triotic." It is apparent that the
Journal did not know anything of
the history of this bridge or it
would have been more considerable.
No greater instance of local patri-
otism-if loyalty to an earthworks
can be so designated-has come to
our knowledge than the manner in
which the people Of the county
have contributed thousands to this
road, and how willingly they get
stuck on all the main roads leading
to Willmar in order that this road
may live and prosper for the benefit
of dozen or two farmers north of
the lake, including our illustrlous
senator.

The First Derby.

The first Derby was run in the Isle
of Man and not on the Epson downs,
as is generally supposed. The narrow
strip Of crisp and springy turf which
separates the bays of Derbyhaven and
Castletown was the scene of the ini-
tial Derby, and it is still known as
the race course" though no races
have been held there for at least 100
years. For a long time the patch of
ground has been used as a golf links.
1t was in the year 1921, when the Earls
of Derby were still lords of Man, that
the order was issued establishing these
races. 1t was also directed that the
Derby plate, to which the earl contrib
uted handsomely, should be competed
for every year at Easter on the race
course at Castletown. Here the Derby
took place with regularity every year
until the year 1870, when the present
event was founded by Edward Stan
ley. the twelfth Earl Of Derby.

Litchiield Man Attempts Suicide

F. M. Brown, former saloon
keeper and resident of Litchfeld
attempted to commit suicide last
Thursday by taking an ounce of
laudanum. He informed his wife
Of his intent. and she tried to get
the poison away from him, but did
not succeed. Shortly after he had
taken the dose he collapsed. and the
doctors sent for had to work over
him five hours before they were
able to pronounce him out of dan
ger. Brown was evidently deter
mined to die, for he rendered the
work of his rescuers difficult by
persisting in biting the tube of the
stomach pump. So far no motive
for his act has been found.
