It IS apparent that many farmers
throughout the country have been
biting on the "Alaska seed wheat
swindle up to within a recent date,
when the postmaster general issued g
fraud order against the concern which
has been selling the worthless grain.
This company had Offices in Juliette,
Idaho; Minneapolis and st. Paul.
The Union was among the first
papers of the country to caution
farmers against planting this so-called
Alaska" wheat, and the information
upon which it based this advice was
received from the United States agri.
cultural department, which had ex-
perimented with the stuff and found ii
almost worthless.

Will each county in the forty fifth
legislative district have it's own legis-
lative representation now that the leg
islature have finished it's labors:
Ask Representative Frank White. He
is the one who offered it as the price
for his election.-Anoka Free Press.
It was not Mr.. Whites fault that the
bill giving the forty-6fth district an
additional representative failed. The
bill passed the branch of the legisla-
ture of which Mr.. White was member
but it failed of passage by three votes
in the senate. Mr.. White redeemed
his prediction promise as far as it
lay in his power to do so. The failure
of the bill in the senate cannoblabe
charged to him. -

A lesson has been learned by the
navy department from the cruise of it's
sixteen battleships around the world
and, as a result, they will be re-
modelled. They arrived home with
masts sprung, plates loosened and
electric machinery practically out of
commission. It was also discovered
that the armor belt on the vessels is
misplaced that the ships would be
worthless as engines of war. AS a
consequence the warships will be re-
modelled to conform with type some-
thing like the old Monitor. If the
Japs have any designs upon our
country now would be the time for
them to try their hand at an invasion.

District Attorney Jerome of New
York at a recent after dinner speech
said in part:
Those who have had experience in
public life are advising the younger
men to keep out of it because there is
no future. There is no future in it
because we are governed and ruled by
demagogic opinions. We are only
permitted to do certain things because
we allow editors to sit in their
sanctums and write on subjects of
which they are ignorant and on which
they are unable to give any fair and
just criticism.
Jerome herein shows that he is an
migrate of the most despicable type.
Who made this fellow district at
torney? Who brought him forth from
the obscure pettifogger's den into the
limelight? To whom is he indebted
for his prosperous-from money
making standpoint-career? These
same editors upon whom he now seeks
to cast odium. And, merely because
they dare criticise some Of his o6icia.

For the promotion of the culture of
tobacco in Minnesota $1,000 is to be
expended by the state in Sherburne
county, such experiment to be made
under the advice of Andrew Davis and
Frank White. Mr.. Davis is a country
merchant while Mr.. White is country
lawyer. A fitting outfit, indeed, to
make any sort of an agricultural ex-
pertinent. Still, they may be able to
spend the money to as good ad-
vantage, from political standpoint,
as anybody.-Madison Independent
Press.
Knowing Representative White and
Davis as we do, we feel confident that
they will expend the money economi-
cally and put forth every effort to
faithfully perform the duties required
of them.

Abdul Hamid, the deposed despotic
ruler of Turkey, is now in exile and.

cup1es a villa in the suburbs of
Salonlca. The constitutionalists
who overthrew the tryant, have treat
ed him far better than he deserved.
Had he received just reward for his
devilish deeds he would have been
confined in one of the filthy under
ground dungeons of the Yildiz kiosk,
there to associate with rats for a
month or two, and then taken out
upon the waters of the Bosphorus
some moonless night and fed to the
fishes. Hundreds of political prison
ers' and even women of the sultan S
seraglio, have been thus disposed of
by eunuch hirelings of this polyg-
amous monster. And, notwithstand-
ing these atrocities we're we'll known to
the so-called christian powers, not an
enort was put forth to stop them. Let
US hope that the new regime, al
though Mohammedan, will no longer
countenance such barbarous proceed

Estimating the total valuation of the
state for the year 1909 at 81, 200, 900, 900,
State Auditor Iverson is of the opin.
ion that the levy for all state pur-
poses will not exceed 2.93 mills.
Last year the levy for all pur.
poses was 1888 mills. A reduction
of four-tenths of mill in the state tax
rate is doing pretty we'll. All things
considered the legislature is deserv.
ing of great praise for keeping the ap.
propriations within bounds. A re-
duction in the tax levy is what appeals
to the Taxpayers.

TRULY AMERICAN.

1. fssss TRULY AMERICAN. ISL
Here is an article from the Chisago
County Press, by NJ. S. Norelius, son
of that eminent Swedish divine, DR..
Norelius of Goodhue county, that
rings true:
! The Svenska Folkets Tidning of
Minneapolis in an editorial entitled
''If the Bear Only Knew His Strength,
reviews the political situation in the
state especially so far as the Swedes
are concerned, making Lieut.. Gov.
Eberhart the center of it's comments.
The editor seeks to show that the
Swedes of Minnesota are not politi-
cally clannish and in a sense he may
be right, but there are also some
Swedes, who take themselves a little
too seriously, so far as politics are
concerned in this state political repre-
sentation should not be based on ma
tionality, but that idea of laying it all
up to the Swedes and saying that they
should unite to push their own men in
preference to men of other nationality,
is un-American, to say the least, and
does not tend to illuminate the nation
ality as such among the rest of the
people of the state. We do not believe
that Mr.. johnson for instance, was
chosen governor three times in this
state merely because he happened to
be OF Swedish extraction. If he had
not had the brains and done the
square thing he would have been
showed under long ago. Let US not
cheaper the Swedish nationality in
this state by placing it in the lime
light of political publicity by reason
OF it's numbers. It stands to reason
that the Swedish people in this state
should, like the Germans or any other
nationality, enjoy their share of polit-
ical representation and we have it
now-but in the name of common
sense, is it necessary always to parade
the fact that we are Swedes? Wouldn't
it be far better if we would maintain
some of the other nationalistic traits
such as music or literature little
better? How many of our so-called
Swedish-Americans, men of promi-
nence in public life, aim to speak the
Swedish? Scarcely any of them, but
they want mans vote just the same.
The editor of the Folkets Tidning
should not forget that it is the pure
merit that counts with any nationality
in the long run. A little nation like
Sweden, which had university before
America was discovered, need not
worry about the pages of her history
They are glorious ones. Our theory
is that men, who possess principles
and have the courage to apply them
are the ones who should be selected
for Office whether their hair is red,
white, black or auburn, or whether
their cradles have stood in Sweden,
Norway, Ireland, Iceland or Nova
Scotia. This is the principle that
obtains in Sweden itself, for is there
any nation of culture that has re-
cognized men as quickly in the fields
of science, art and literature as just
Sweden through the founding of the
Nobel committees? The Swedish
people will not fail to make their
mark in politics in this state and else
where, but let us hope that they can
do it as sAmerican-Swedes and not as
Swedes posing for favors because of
nationality, in country which is the
most composite nation on earth. No
our Minnesota Swedes, thank God,
will remain Americans, and as such
only they shall want political recogni-
tion.
