Submit it to the People.

The Fairmont Independent says:
The county option question promises
to play an important part in the cam
paign this fall. It will especially have
great influence in the election OF
members of the legislature.
The suggestion that the county op-
ton question be submitted directly to
the people in the form of proposed
constitutional amendment in worthy
OF consideration, as then the voters
would have the opportunity of voting
directly on this question, while now
they have not.
One of the unfortunate results OF the
present situation in the effect that this
issue, may have in selection of legis.
lators and state officials. A great
many people will vote for the candi.
dates who agree with them on this
question, regardless of their othe,

Theodore Roosevelt is returning
from an expedition which is a dis
grace to humanity. His trip to Africa
has done more to dehumanitize society
than all the humane societies can do
in years to bring it out of its present
savage state" This utterance was
made by Prof. j. Howard Moore in
a lecture before the Chicago South
Side Suffrage association. Prof.
Moore said he wished to place Roose-
welt among the great men of the
country, but was unable to find a
single deed or trait of character
worthy of commend alton. He said all
of Roosevelt's achievements were of a
negative force and thai the enthusiasm
OF bis admirers is due largely to i'm
maturity in the understanding of
human nature. sRoosevelt will have
been forgotten completely in a few
years. ''To compare Roosevelt with
either Lincoln or Washington is to
insult both of those heroes who are
dead" Moore branded the Roose-
velt-Smithsonian expedition as a ram
page of butchery in the name of
science, which affords no justification
for the butchery. To all of which the
Review man says Amen!

of the human race they were ordered
to be transferred into heaven. St.

nicely wrapped them into a neat

Senator McCumber of North Dakota
cherishes neighborly sympathy for
the beef of his home pastures and con-
tents that the steer of commerce is a
blameless animal on whom the stigma
of exorbitant prices for meat has been
unjustly fixed. With the bill of fare
OF the senate restaurant in his hand
he took the floor and said: "An aver
age beef animal on Dakota ranch,
brings $40, but according to prices
here it is sold to the consumers who
eat here for the enormous sum of
81, 500, enough to buy half a farm.
The fact that the farmer gets but $40
shows that he does not get the money"
Therefore the Dakota man argues that
we must not take the tariff off impor-
ted food products. Now, the joke is
this that everybody but McCumber
knows that these duties are merely in
PRODUCED in the tariff to humbug the
farmer with the idea that he is getting
protection. But that idea is pretty
well exploded, and even Sen ator Lodge
refused any longer to be party 10
the fraud. Taking the duty off beef"
he said, ''does not affect the price.
We do not import beef" He added:
81 am not going to attempt to humbug
the American people by trying to make
them think that while we export, taking
the tariff off would reduce the price. !"
But the humbug still persists in the
law, says the San Francisco Call. It
is harmless except as form of self.
deception.

there are sufficient fair-minded men ir
the state this fall to carry the day an6
not be bulldozed by a lot of bowling
demagogues.
Gov. Eberhart says that he is con
vinced that with scores of such letters
pouring into his Office daily there is
little for him to fear.
A. T. Stebbins of Rochester, after
j years rest from senatorial duties
has fled again for the Republican
nomination. Twelve years ago Steb
bins gave way to Joe Underleak of his
own party, and eight years ago insult
was added to injury, for 'sSteb," wher
he was beaten by 81 votes by DR.. b
81. Witherstine, a Democrat. Since
then Stebbins' political activities have
been confined to the Retail Hardware
Dealers association, of which he has
recently been president.
1t is probably only natural that Steb.
bins wants revenge on Witherstine for
that 57-vote beating, but it will be a
cruel blow if he takes from Wither-
slime the honor which has been such a
comfort to the valiant fighter of cigar
cites.
Besides, Stebbins will be lonesome
III that senate, I'm thinking, when he
looks around the chamber for E. j.
Jones of Morris and Ed. Young, who
was not a county optionist when
"Steb" was in the senate: for Frank
Day and Enos Thompson, who have
since been fighting face to face for
governorships and such. Stebbins will
miss anti-tights McHale and that ex-
FOUNDER of the constitution, T. V.
Knatvold. About the only links, if
"Steb" gets back, that will bind him
to the past are Lars O.. Thorpe and
Albert Schaller, and, it might be, Col
lester of Waseca.
Death has wrought sad havoc in
that senate, notably Hiram Stevens
and Bert Miller, Henry Keller and W.
M. Fuller, Charles J. Larson and Oar
Morgan, John Fl. Smith and John @.
Cronkhite.
Sam Sweningsen is licking stamps
at Austin and the foreign service has

who wants to run for lieutenant COVER
nor, was at the state house Friday to
see if it was true that DR.. A. B. Cole
of Fergus Falls is on the Eberhart
slate for lieutenant governor The
governor was very much surprised to
hear that there was such thing in
existence as an Eberhart slate.

Z L ~ SNNA1S oPV4OAs
There were probably scores of men
IN the last legislature who would not
nave been elected but for this issue.
In voting for candidates for the
legislature as we'll as state offices, the
mans qualifications, his past record,
his position, on other state issues and
many other things should be taken
into consideration. In the last cam
paign, in many instances these things
were lost sight of, and only his po-
sition on the county option question
considered. The results of such a
condition are very evident
If the voters could vote directly on
this question, this disturbing element
in Minnesota politics not alone would
disappear, and the voters have a
better opportunity of registering their
opinion in this matter, but we believe
that in many instances, it would result
in the election of better men to the
legislature,

What Sunday Saved.

There was a remarkable demonstra.
sion last night at tabernacle in
Youngstown, Ohio, when Evangelist
BILLY Sunday closed a revival in what
ais conceded to be the most wicked CITY
an Ohio. The thousands who heard
his closing sermon became almost
fanatical. Men and women leaped
into the air, screamed, Rugged each
@other, and prayed in a most beseeching
way. The evangelist was equally
carried away, and at the end of the
carried him in their arms to his hotel.
but he wasn't SO far carried away
shat he forgot one thing: More than
$40, 900 was raised at the meeting and
given to the Rev. Mr.. Sunday, and he
carried it away in his hat, with him.
Ut was wonderful demonstration of
piety and generosity; the most wonder
full the Rev. Mr.. Sunday has ever
encountered. There are those who
will contend that when a sinner is
swept Off his feet by emotion, he soon
climbs TO his feet again; that the con-
version does him no good. That is
TOO deep a question in theology for a
aayman to discuss, but this much good
was done at the meeting: It netted the
Rey. Mr.. Sunday 0O0-Atchison

Conservation Congress.

An opportunity which, if taken ad-
vantage of, will increase the annual
profits of Minnesota farmers by mil
lion of dollars, will be offered at the
Minnesota Conservation and Agri-
cultural Development Congress to be
held at the St. Paul Auditorium March
l6 to l9 by the Minnesota Agricultural
Experiment station in an extensive
exhibit of seed testing apparatus care
fully modelled upon that used with
such effect by the seed testing DEPART
ment at Washington.

gy at the state experiment station,

The Importance of seed testing has
been wildly illustrated during the
past few weeks by the energetic cam

vent Nebraska farmers from using as
seed corn this year any Of last years
crop, which, in responding to tests.
shows so little terminating power as
to threaten the state with immense
losses, unless the Nebraska farmers
are warned in time. Happily for
Minnesota farmers, Minnesota corn
shows far higher percentage of GER
minating power and it is with them
largely matter of selection of seed
corn IN this state this season.
During each day of the Minnesota
Conservation Congress actual tests of
wheat, oats, barley, rye, clover, timo-
thy and vegetable seeds, both for puri-
ty and termination, will be made by
Mr.. Oswald. These tests will be made
without charge and it is hoped by DR..
Freeman and MIR. Oswald that thnn.
sands OF farmers will bring their
seeds to the Congress, where they will
not only see the tests made, but viii
receive information showing how the
seed tests may be made at home.

Political Gossip at the Capitol.
DAILY NEWS.

Both Gov. Eberhart and ssJake''
jacobson were Cautioned as to what
they should say at the county option
convention. But Adolph needed, and
'Jake" did pot, which suggests that
even in SO altruistic campaign as
county option it seems to make diff
ference whether politician thinks his
future is before him or behind him.
"Jake," by the way, in spite of all
the cautions stepped that day on one
of the governors dearest pet corns
and that is the appointment of the tenn
perance committee in the senate of 1907
which, as both Jacobson and Rachie
declared, had only one out Of nine
county option men on it when the ques-
ton came to vote.
The governor still has in his posses
sion list of the then senators-elect,
in which, he says, there were checked
Dec. 10, 1906, number of new sena-
tors who we're Endorsed at that time by
the anti-saloon league. OF the nine
finally appointed by the lieutenant
governor, five, Eberhart says were
personally Endorsed by Rev. N. A.
Palmer, then the superintendent of the
league, who approved w. A. Hinton,
Truman; G.. A. johnson, st. Peter; G.
r.. Donaldson, Stewart; j. T. Elwell,
Minneapolis, and Oar S. Hall, Buffa-
10 Lake. If these five, or any of them,
disappointed the league by their course
in the Legislature thereafter, the COVER
nor does not see how he can be blamed
for that. Any one who knows the men
can see how easy it would have been
for either Eberhart or Palmer to die
tate to Hinton, johnson or Hall, at
least, after they had landed what they
wanted.
Please accept my congratulations
for the manly and honorable stand you
took and the ideas advanced at the
county option convention. / trust
