In commenting upon Congress.
man Steenerson's amendment to the
Erdman act, The Duluth News-Tri-
bune says it brings all the force
upon the railroads and does not pre-
vent strikes.
We believe it would be fairer and
more satisfactory to make arbitra-
ton agreements compulsory, thus
avoiding the strike itself, and at the
same time leaving the largest free
dom of agency to both parties," says
the ws-Tribune.
That this could be done, there
can be little doubt, as there is no
transportation company of moment

"KOLL'S KOLUMN" is A "KORKER."

M. N. Kohl, in his "Koll's
Kolumn," published in the last
issue of the Cass Lake Times, says:
Our friend Doc Rutledge, in the
Bemidji Pioneer, hands US a few
boquets on the first appearance of
our Kollum,' which we acknowledge
with thanks. He winds up by say
ing that it 'bristles with combative.
ness That's my idea of political
column is if there is any fight
ing to be done, to do it, and I can
not imagine a finer chance to fight
and carry conviction, than when I
have no other aspiration with what
I write than to write it with the
best interests of the public in mind,
regardless of whom it strikes.
In my opinion, he who has no
personal political aspirations can
take more unprejudiced view of
things and work more effectively,
than one who has position in mind,
or at stake, and I am going to try it
out to see if it does not work out
that way-regardless of the friendly
tips some of my Notwithstanding
Doc" have given me that I will be
head over heels in a fight before I
know it. If I get into fight feeling
as I do, I won't be a bad loser at
any rate"

A Yoga Story.

For fourteen years Bava Luchman
Dass received from the priests Of the
Black Caves of central India the nee.
essary education in order to become
yoga, as a yoga must be capable of
taking the forty eight postures of the
Hindoo idols: Perhaps the greatest
trick consists in balancing himself on
the ends Of his fingers while the whole
of his body is in the air. Bava stated
that in order to obtain the rank Of
yoga In the Black Caves Of India he
had to continue in this position on the
ends of his fingers under the eyes Of
the Judges, without a seconds inter-
val, for seven days and nights!LStrand

CANNON IN LEGAL BATTLE

Speaker Involved in Land Controversy
in Nebraska.
Omaha, Dec. 27-Joseph G. Cannon,
speaker of the national house of repre-
sentatives, is pitted in a legal battle
against the Elkhorn valley drainage
district of Nebraska.
Land owned by the speaker in the
Elkhorn district has been condemned
through an order from district court
upon application Of an engineering
company of Omaha. The Elkhorn
people are DESTROYS of running a drain
age system through Mr.. Cannon's
property, but efforts to secure a set
tiement with the speaker by amicable
means have proved futile.
Only about three acres are involved
The engineering company wants to in
stall drainage system and asked to
utilize strip Of land 200 feet wide
through the speakers farm. Since no
terms could be agreed upon, it is now
the duty Of board of appraisers t.
determine the amount that should be
paid Mr.. Cannon for the right-of-way
Mr.. Cannon is heavy land owner
In Nebraska, owning property in Saun-
ders and Lancaster counties.

lieved they were playing one state
against another, with financial gain
as their object.
II have recently been Informed of
the state Of affairs and that the pro-
moters have hopes of staging the fight
at Salt Lake City, but will say that,
as much as I would like to see the
battle take place in our state, the law
will not sanction it and, as governor,
! must forbid it.
1--WE followed sports to some ex-
tent and I do not believe Jeffries
would fight in country of such high
altitude after his long layoff. It would
greatly affect his condition."

zELAyAN SOLDIERS
SUFFERING |: GREATLY
Many Are Wounded and Hun
dreds Need Food.

Bluefelds, Nicaragua, Dec. 81
Christmas was Christmas in name
only in Bluefelds and Rama, where
1000 captured government soldiers
are sick and hungry and hundreds are
lying on cots suffering from wounds
suffered in the fighting at Rama and
Recero.
Despite the heroic attempts of the
authorities, aided by the surgeons and
sailors of the American warships, to
relieve the suffering the facilities are
SO inadequate that but little progress
has been made
Only enough provisions are on hand
to give the soldiers scarce rations.
Medical equipment is wholly made
quate to meet the most pressing needs.
Scores of wounded soldiers are in
danger of death unless immediate re-
lief is furnished, but owing to the ab-
sence of needed antiseptics and the
scarcity of competent operators many
of them will probably die with their
wounds unattended.
It is semi-oficially stated that the
American ships, now lying off Corinto,
made no objection to Zelaya's depar-
ture from Nicaragua zelaya himself
feared that the Americans would ar
rest him on charge of causing the
murder of Groce and Cannon, the two
Americans. The officers of the Ameri-
can ships, however, said they had re-
ceived no orders to intercept Zelaya's
flight.

take heed of "Koll's Kolumn." As
Mr.. Kohl says he has no political

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL MAY PASS
Measure as Drawn Said to Meet Pres
ident's Approval.

Washington, Dec. 27.-A ship sub;
sidy bill that can pass congress and
meet the approval of the president
seems to be in sight. Congressman
Humphreys Of Washington, with the
members of the merchant marine COM
mittee of the house, visited President
Taft and laid before him the bill intro
duced at the last session with amend
ments which have since been added.
The amended bill met the approval of
the president, it is said.
Mr.. Humphreys and John Hays
Hammond, a member of the commit
tee which had the matter largely in
charge, agreed that the bill would not
be made public until it is introduced
in congress on Jan. 4. They admitted
the amended bill is neither a straight
ship subsidy measure, proposing to-
substitute by tonnage and voyage, nor
mail subsidy bill.
