A number of eminent surgeons,
chemists, physicists and other pro-
fessional men of New York have com
bined for the purpose of establishing
radium institute. They propose to
obtain a pound of the precious metal
50, 700, 900 worth-and to engage in
work of philanthropy by treating,
free OF charge, patients suffering from
cancer and kindred diseases. They
are firmly Of the opinion that the ap-
plication of rays from radium,
properly used, will in many instances
cure cancer. Let US hope that the
project attains success.

TIE. MRllRsHON Plan.

Il
The Mershon plan Of canals and
waterways for Minnesota is wildly
depicted in the Pioneer Press Of the
24th inst, in we'll written article by
Mr.. G. r. Barns of that papers
staff. The article is accompanied by
q map of the state showing the routes
Of the several proposed canals and
waterways. Mr.. Barns estimates
that water power to the extent of $780,
600 horse power could be developed in
connection with the canals and water
ways; that immense areas of swamp
land would be drained and reclaimed:
and that floods on the Red, Mime
sofa and other rivers would be pre-
vented. But the greatest benefit to be
derived would be in cheaper trans
portation facilities for freight. The
cost Mr.. Barns estimates anywhere
+.
from S25, 100000 to $50, O0O,O 900.
The system of waterways so glow
ingly set forth is a grand and COM
prehensive one, and if successfully
carried out would undoubtedly result
in great benefit to sections of the state.
But it is hardly probably that Mr..
Barns dreams will be realized in the
near future. Even if survey by
board of competent engineers demon
strated the practicability of the
scheme it is extremely doubtful if the
people of the state would ever change
their constitution to saddle an enor-
nous debt upon themselves for the
development of a system of waterways
that could not be utilized for more
than five or six months IN the year.
OF far more Importance to the
people of the state is the matter of
lettering the condition of the public
highways. Permanent improvement
of the roads is live issue today in
every township of the state. The
question of good roads will not down
it completely overshadows any and
all other issues. When system of
good permanent public roads has
been established in every county of
the state then, and not till then, will
other public Improvements of gen.
eral nature be given serious consider
alton. But good roads must come
first.

During the month of August 8,O24
persons emigrated to Canada from
the United States, a large number of
them taking up claims in that country.
It appears that the principal reason
for this exodus is that the Canadian
government offers better inducements
to homeseekers than does the United
States. And then again, Canada
does an enormous amount of advertis-
ing and maintains immigration agents
in many countries.

NOT IN 4PT COMPARISON.

An exchange quotes a prominent
business man of the town in which it
is published as likening Gov. Eber-
hart to Roosevelt. By accident one
was promoted to the governship and
the other to the presidency, and
Roosevelt was chosen to succeed him
self, hence this prominent business
man referred to reasons that Gov.
Eberhart should be given the nomi-
nation by reclamation. It is not an
apt comparison. Roosevelt had a
reputation for doing things long be-
fore he became vice president a
legislator, as member of the civil
service commission, as police COM
missioner of New York city, as as
sistant secretary of the navy, as a
volunteer in the Spanish-American
imbroglio, and also as an author of
no mean repute. Chester A. Arthur,
who as vice president succeeded Gar
field in 1881, was not nominated by
the republicans in 1884. Mr.. Arthur
was nice sociable gentleman but he
was completely dominated by Conk-
lin and other designing New York
politicians, and his name was not
mentioned in the republican national
convention of 1884. Gov. Eberhart
| would size up better when compared
with Arthur rather than with the
strenuous uncomfortable Roosevelt.

THE .sSLITER'' IRONsMINE..

- liz ss01l1v GI1ks,N xk1ONs10xMHGs
The state has received royalties
amounting to several thousand dol
lars for iron ore taken from the
!" Siiver' mine! Impossible! Was
it not heralded through the length and
breadth of the state in 1904 that Mabel
Evans had secured that property and
the state would never receive dollar
from 1t? Yet it is a fact that the
state has already received royalties
from that mine amounting to nearly
$4,000. and the state will receive 25
cents per ton for each and every ton.
of ore that may be taken from the
mine in the future, and rs cents per
ton is all the state would receive no
matter who held the contract. But
the dastardly liars of 1904 convinced
thousands of voters that Bob Dunn
robbed the state when he issued
prospecting lease, good for one year
only, to Mabel Evans covering this
fraction in the ''Sliver'' township near
Virginia. Not a pound of ore could
be mined or removed under the pros
pecting lease issued by Dunn. The
5O-year contract, which gave permits
sion to mine and remove the ore UPON
payment to the state of royalty of
25 cents per ton, was issued by
Auditor Iverson. It was that con-
tract, and not the prospecting lease,
issued by Dunn, that was attempted
to be cancelled in suit brought by
Attorney General Young. But the
district and supreme court sustained
the validity of the contract in every
particular. In 1904 it was claimed
that there were millions of tons, of
high grade ore covered by the Evans
contract. Now the millions have
dwindled to 100000 tons. But wheth-
er the mine contains 25O,0OO or
$50, 900, 900 tons the state will receive
Is cents for each and every ton, and
Is cents per ton is all the state could
receive in any event.
Had it not been for the initiatory
steps taken by Dunn in having the
"Sliyer" tract in question certified to
the state as swamp land, Pearl Smith,
a West Superior speculator, would
have become the fee owner of the
land. Through Dunn IS initiative the
land was saved to the state, and the
state will be enriched to the extent of
seventy or eighty thousand dollars.
But Dunn's zeal in behalf of the state
cost him the governorship in 1904 and
the eternal enmity of Pearl Smith and
his hireling editors. "

We have speed regulation ordi-
nances in this country for automobiles
but the trouble is they do not regulate
they are farce, pure and simple.
About the only effective way in
which the speed of motor cars could
be regulated would be to pass law
making it a penitentiary offense for
manufacturers to turn out a machine
which could possibly be coaxed into a
faster clip than eight miles an hour.
