Presidents Taft and Diaz are anxi-
Gus TO meet, shake hands and engage
in conversation, but the laws Of Next
co and an established custom of the
United States decree that they shall
not leave the countries over which
they preside. Hence it is proposed
that the two presidents meet at
chalk line drawn across the bridge
which crosses the Rio Grande between
El Paso and Juarez-where each will
toe the mark and exchange stories.
On the surface this looks like a bit of
farce comedy and that's just what it
is. The farce lies in the fact that
civilized nations should still adhere
to semi-barbaric laws and customs
which demand that presidents or
other rulers remain on their own side
of the fence. ~

Il is really amusing TO note how
concerned some newspapers are over
the building up Of political machines
by members OF the legislature if they
should be permitted to say where and
BY whom little measly appropriations
for roads and bridges should be ex-
pended. These same newspapers
never whimpered an objection when an
amendment, that was never adopted
by the people, was read into the state
constitution which gave the legis-
lature carte-blanche in all matters
pertaining to taxation. Under the
amendment in question it is possible
for the legislature to exempt any class
of property from taxation. This is
at a gnat and swallowing a
camel.

What one cooperative creamery has
accomplished is shown by the follow.
ing item clipped from paper pub.
lished at Menlo, Iowa:
"Paying out over a half million
dollars in the last ten years, the
Menlo Cooperative Creamery com.
pany has more than doubled the value
of the land in it's immediate vicinity
Land that in 1897, when it was estab.
lished, sold for $40 to S45 an acre,
now brings from $50 to $50, and land
that sold for SIS then, is now held at
1925 to Sl75. All this change is
credited to the creamery, which last
year paid out total of SIG, 667. l8, the
record for single year. The total
amount paid out by the creamery so
far is 1882, 2S4.S2." !,
In order to make a success Of. this
sort it is of course necessary that tie
farmers stick together that they work
as a unit to further the interests oil
their creamery. If such showing as
the above can be made in Iowa it car
be made in Minnesota. .

Mrs. W. B. Leeds, formerly of
Chicago and a particular friend of
King Edward, is anxious to marry
a British nobleman and the king
would like to become the possessor of
a $4,000 black pearl owned by Mrs,
Leeds. So they have fixed up a deal
IN which Edward has promised to
furnish a nobleman and Mrs. Leeds to
hand over the pearl. Edward has a
whole string of decadent titled gentry
on his staff and it is an easv matter
for him to keep his promise. Mrs.
Leeds appears to be a very foolish
woman but, if we mistake not, she will
be much wiser after she has lived a
few months with the 'nobleman''
whom Edward selects for her.

We have no patience with those ca
PRECIOUS individuals-we care not
whether they are members of the high
est judicial tribunal of the state, ex-
ecutive state officers or, disgruntled
private citizens would question
the constitutionality of every appro-
priation made by the legislature for
necessary and praiseworthy purposes,
because of an obsolete provision in
the fundamental law of the State
adopted half a century ago when coon
and muskrat skins were about the
only currency of any value in circu-
lation. Judges and pettifogging
lawyers should take a rest this hot
weather and let necessary public
works, including drainage and the
state fair grand stand, proceed with
out further interruption. There has
been enough damphoolishness for this
year.

The late Bishop Potter was Outlines
subjected to severe criticism for con-
tributing articles to- sensational-or
yellow-sunday journals,sbu he re-
piled to his critics by saying that
through such newspapers he could
reach class of men whom no per-
suasion could induce to attend church.
This truth cannot be disputed.
Thousands of men who live in the
slums OF the great cities never enter a
church, and even if they did they
would not be welcome clad in rags,
the only clothes which they possess.
But if they can possibly scrape a few
cents together for a yellow Sunday
newspaper they will purchase a copy
and absorb every line Of its contents.

Indians for the loss of their reserva-
tion at Mile Laos lake would be a
simple act of delayed, justice. The
services the Mile Laos band of Chip
pewas rendered to the white settlers
and the government in 1862 should
not be forgotten. George B. Edger-
ton, the we'll known St. Paul attorney.
has commenced an action in behalf of
the Mile Laos Indians, and we sin
cerely hope success will crown his
efforts and that the Indians will be
awarded liberal compensation for the
loss Of their lands and timber.

sfMagnate chairman proposes to
plant rows: Of trees and to SOW grass
seeds on each side of his railroad
from Omaha to the Pacific coast. AT
least he says SO. This is a unique
idea,-i truth beautiful conception
of sthe railroad kings brain, and
while the undertaking would he stu
pendous and require much time to per-
feet, the ultimate result would war
rant the outlay, as persons travelling
to the coast would naturally select the
road bordered with trees in preference
to any other. Then, again, it Is a

One of the St. Paul papers init
mates that State Auditor Iverson and
State Treasurer Dinehart will refuse
to pay any further bills contracted
by the state highway commission for
salaries and Office expenses until the
attorney general has passed upon the
question. The point raised is that
under the recent decision of the SUI
preme court anent the road and bridge
law it may be illegal to pay money
out of the general revenue fund of the
state for salaries and expenses of a
commission engaged in the work of
internal Improvements. This is GER
tainly going to the extreme limit. It
would be strained and far-fetched
construction of the law that would
bring the state highway commission
within the purview of the decision in
question. The sooner that antiuuated
and really obsolete section of the
state constitution (Sec. V, Art. TX,
is amended or wiped out the better.

Indians of Trip county, S. D.,
have shown the whites that as politi-
clans they are more than their equal.
They have won every Office for which
they fled and declare that hereafter
they will not only participate in all
elections but will land the offices they
60 after. This was the first election
ever held in Trip county and the first
time in history that Indians have
dabbled in politics. These Indians
live on their allotments and are en-
titled to the same rights as white
mon with the exception that they are
not permitted to take whisky to their
homes. The election was a bitter pill
for the whites but they were forced to
swallow it. -

Daniel Guggenheim, head of the
Guggenheim mining and smelling in
terests, advises young men to 60 to
Alaska-the magnetic north. He
says in part: i, :,
ssAlaska is not a frozen, barren
country. It has millions Of acres OF
fertile lands and vast mineral wealth.
It is a country in which the poor man
can settle and grow rich. Homesteads
can now be entered on unsurveyed
lands. Mining claims can be staked
in . territory which for precious and
baser metals consider the richest I'm.
developed country in the world. The
western states were developed with
the millions appropriated by the
government and grants of large tracts
of land to the railroads. Government
aid of this kind, I am convinced, will
not be needed in Alaska. The land
can be taken by the homeseekers.
The fnanciers who are building rail.
roads in the southwestern section are
confident of the enormous growth OF
this section of territory. The com.
pletion Of important sections of the
Copper River railroad by the end OF
next year will mark new era in the
commercial history Of this country. !,

In an able address on s'The Laws
Delay" delivered before the State
Bar association in Minneapolis last
week, Frank B. Kellogg suggested
that there was room for improvement
in the procedure of selecting jurors to
try important cases. Among other
things Mr.. Kellogg said: "Undoubt-
eddy, the unwillingness of the best
class OF men to serve has much to do
with the failure to obtain proper
juries in the trial of the noted cases
which have attracted great public
attention. In their anxiety to escape
jury duty men are. willing to testify
that they have formed an opinion
which would require evidence to re-
move-even when they are perfectly
capable of Judging the case fairly.
Of course they have formed an opin-
ion, as any intelligent man must; but
/ such an opinion'no moro disqualifes
them than a general knowledge on any
subject disquli6es man from study:
ing it and passing upon it impartially.
The procedure in this respect should
be reformed. / believe that a statute
should be passed providing that no
person shall be disqualified as juror
by reason of having formed or ex.
pressed an opinion upon the matter
or cause to be submitted to the jury,
founded upon public rumor, state.
ments in the public journals, or com.
mon. notoriety, provided it appears to
the court from the examination that
the juror is an intelligent man
and will. Notwithstanding such an
opinion, act impartially and fairly
upon matters submitted to him."

The attempt by the French to make
a hero of Latham, the pseudo aviator
who started in his monoplane from
Calais to cross the English channel
and dropped midway between the two
shores, is nauseating. From Calais
to Dover is but twenty -one miles, and
a man pretending to be an aeronaut
who is unable to cover so short dis
lance deserves no commend alton. An
airship such as Latham's is worthless
for any purpose whatsoever.
