In recent note from State Labor
Commissioner McEwen, commenting
on The Gazette article about the
awful toll of human lives exacted
every year by accidents in this coun-
try, that official expresses the opin-
ion that so to go per cent. of indus
trial accidents can be prevented by
the use of proper safety devices and
guards about places where working
men and women are employed, and
that the labor bureau is trying to
obtain legislation and work up pub
lie sentiment along that line. Mr..
McEwen states that the industrial
The Redwood gazette., 1909-12-29

casualties in the state this year will
foot up nearly $4,000. The magni-
tude of this slaughter and mangling
of life and limb certainly justifies
action on the part of our law max
ers and the men who take their
lives in their hands as part of the
game of life should be protected as
fully as possible.

couldn't you come out here with
out bringing the sheriff with vou2''
That she misrepresented to P A
Ledbeter the way to reach Smith
Who was in sight in a field, and that
she sent him two and a half miles to
reach him, although Smith was but
eighty rods away. She had said
that there was no road there, when
there was. It would appear that
green bottle flies were flying over
the grave, and that the defendant
sent 2. A. Ledbeter the round about
way so he would not see the flies.
1t would be shown that in Manka-
to a good woman met Mrs. Ledbeter
on the street and remarked to her
that P. A. Ledbeter was coming to
search for his brother, and that she
answered peevishly: Il don't see
what he is coming here for. He has
got no money to spend. He had
better stay at home" Many other
strong circumstances showing long
conspiracy would be presented.
ATTEMPT TO MISLEAD sEARCHERs.
1t would be shown that things
were done to mislead the searching
party. including the digging of false
graves in the barn and field. It was
expected that these were acts done
in concert by the conspirators. 1t
was expected to show that at break
fast the day the searching party
went out, the matter of deceiving
the searchers by digging a false
grave was talked over by Mrs. Led
better and sister, Mrs. Schwandt and
Smith. 1t was also planned to fell
the trees along the creek, to cause
the searchers to think that the body
was buried there, and cause them to
have their work in vain.
It would be shown that Mrs. Led
better was told by two men that
there were suspicious of certain
parties committing the crime, but.
that these were not impaired to the
officials. 1t showed that the whole
effort was to cover up the crime.
The state could weary the jury by
giving details, which will be brought
out at the trial. The doctors would
describe the wounds, including the
fatal one.
During the address, Mrs. Led
better sat, pale and looking the per-
feet picture of misery. Her older
daughter shed tears during the
greater part of the address.
The Redwood gazette., 1909-12-29
WHAT THE STATE WOULD PROVE.

The state would put on evidence
that could not be doubted. to prove
the states case. Mr.. Ledbeter hao
Scotch collie dog, and bull dog,
and it would be shown that both
were kept tied after the murder
which was not done before. The
bull dog was kept tied to the barn
door, apparently to keep people
from shopping around. The Scotch
collie was later Grated and shipped
away. On the story that it went away
for days, and did not get enough to
eat, it would be shown that this
was false; that the faithful dog con-
tinually stayed at the grave of its
master, which was the true cause of
shipping it. The hired man shipped
the dog, and would say that this
was the reason. The co-conspir-
ators planned and carried out every
thing in detail, to deceive inquisitiye
persons. In line with this was the
story that sMr. Ledbeter returned
two weeks safter the murder, and
that he had said that he came home
the night of May 5, but was ashamed
to go in, owing to neighbors being
in the house. 1t would appear that
Mrs. Ledbeter told all these things
to different persons as facts. 1t
would be shown that she did not
notify the sheriff of the disappear
ance, or the neighbors or officers of
the alleged temperance of her hus-
band, so that they might renew the
search for him.
1t would appear that the defend
ant was the last to 90 to bed the
night of..May 4. and that the defend
ant and Smith were the only adult
people there besides Mr.. Ledbeter
that night, and that only one or two
people coulds haye killed him. and
one was.the defendant. 1t will ap-
pear that..when the searchers came
the morning Of May 5 the conduct
of the defendant led them to go
away in search of the deceased,
when the body was at the time
buried in the barn.
BODY SUBSEQUENTLY, REMOVED.
1t would be shown that the body
was subsequently removed and bur-
led in the field, the defendant assist
ing. That when P. A. Ledbeter
arrived, her first salutation was:

Not long ago the story was told
that John Lind would run next year
on county option platform and that
the Democrats would help elect him
and quite recently it has been dis
covered that in this congressional
district Editor Lawson of Willmar

against Congressman Volstead ano
that the Democrats will support him

The Long Bow Man of the Jour-
nal doesn't come far from the mark
when he concludes a reference to the
falling off Of murder in the south
since so much of that section cut
out the booze, with the wise rehec-
tion that after all, rum is the
great asininity of the ages and the
man who deliberately puts it within
his hide ought to be examined by
some kind of commission.

DR.. Cooks counsel intimates that
the discredited arctic explorer has
lost his mind. Since the Danish in
vestigation the doctor has certainly
lost his reputation and honor, and
now it seems that his mind is gone
and so far as the public knows, the
doctor himself is gone. Judging
from the recent cold wave, however,
the north pole is still there doing
business at the old stand.

1t is pleasant to read that the de-
mand for babies in Minnesota is not
only strong, but that in some Sec
tions it is away ahead of the supply.
The Duluth Herald chronicles the
fact that out of eighty babies at the
children's home in that city, not one
of them can be had for adoption, as
they are already spoken for. 1t
adds that some Duluth families
which had counted on adopting a
baby at Christmas time will be dis
appointed, as all they can do is to
place their names on file and wait

Last year, out Of 49.178 railroad
employees killed and injured in acci-
dents, 5000 were switchmen. In
considering what is fair wage for
these men, one should take into ac-
count the risks they take and the re-
sponsibilities they assume as we'll as
the actual work they do. When this
is considered it will have to be ad-
mitted that very few of the army OF
railroad employees are oyerpaid.

Our St. Psul correspondent last
week made a brief reference to the
plan Of taxation which is contem-
plated by the English budget, which
the House of Lords recently turned
down, as possible way of realizing
fair share of tax from the owners
of the valuable ore deposits in the
northern half of this state. While
we are not qualified to pass on the
constitutionality of a graduated as
sessment Of wealth, whereby the
possessor of millions should pay not
only fair share, but a larger share,
on an ascending scale, on the wealth
Of ti-millionaires than upon the
laboring man, who. from humani-
tartan standpoint should not be as
sessed at.al and from that point of
view, should not pay taxes at all.
That socialism is gaining ground is
largely due to the palpable fact that
the concentration of riches in the
hands of few means also the
concentration of political power,
and that some day this power must
be restrained in this country or it
will be good bye to democracy. A
graduated scale of taxation or as
sessment, making the possessor of
immense wealth relieve the taxation
burdens of men of small means, may
not be feasible under our constitu-
ton, but that it would help put the
| brakes on the greed for wealth and
the iniquities of which the sugar
trust and standard oil and u. S.
steel corporations afford conspicuous
samples, must be conceded. The
common people are getting restive
under conditions under which the
Carnegies and Rockafellers can ac-
cumulate more money than they
know what to do with, and that they
return a part of it in the form of
bequests to libraries and colleges,
doesn't make the injustice of indus
trial combinations any the less rep
hensible. If a graduated tax on
inheritances is constitutional and
possible. why not graduated tax
on all private and corporate wealth,
when it is piled up beyond the mil
lion mark?

Agitation has been started in the
northern Minnesota papers, urging
the state investment board to sell
the bonds of other states, drawing
low interest-a low as three per
cent and invest this in drainage
and other internal improvement
bonds. The proposition looks rea-
sonable and feasible. School bonds
and drainage bonds constitute gilt
edge security, and Minnesota should
look after her own people and her
own interests first, in investing its
funds.

The Duluth Herald prints a de-
tailed statement showing that six
teen New England manufacturing
corporations mostly in cotton
goods-have in ten years returned
to stockholders over thirty-six mil
lion dollars in dividends on their
capitalization of less than twenty
six millions, besides accumulating
nearly twenty-three millions surplus.
That is, they have more than doubled
their capital in ten years ten mil
lion dollars more. Coupled with the
statement that the operatives in
these mills haye averaged less than
eight dollars a week in wages, the
statistics though from Democratic
source, are calculated to make an
old-fashioned protectionist admit
that while protection has been a
good thing in building up American
industries and stimulating invent ton
there is always a possibility Of hav-
ng too much of good thing.
