The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1910-02-02

According to newspaper dis
patch from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the
farmers of that vicinity have started
a novel crusade against the abuse OF
the credit system. The farmers de
clare, according to the dispatch,
that they will not pay an increased
price for what they buy at the stores
to cover bad accounts of city Gus
toners. Fancy how quick Redwood
Falls merchants would welcome that
kind of proposition, for making
them insist on an exclusive cash bas-
is. But the Iowa farmers are right
and local merchants and farmers
both share the blame for the spread
of mail order buying An exclusive
cash system adopted by the local
merchants would put the mail order
houses out of business and stop the
most wasteful system that the whole
country is now tolerating.

Of Nelson, Day ct al. In addition
Nelson is millionaire lumber baron
and is said to be the head Of a great
paper trust. We do not believe that
Coy. Eberhart proposes to place a
man with such a record in the i'm
portant position of regent Of the
state university. AS representa-
tive of one of the farming sections
of this state. The Gazette would like
to point out to Coy. Eberhard that
the feeling among our people here
is strong for new deal in our state
boards, especially those controlling
our state fair and agricultural
school, and that the threatened ap
pointment Of Nelson would more
than ever ALLEVIATE the support of
the great farming class which IS
still powerful enough to sway the
nomination and election of our next
II
governor and other state officials. In
the case of Nelson it would be par
ticularly poorpolitics for the Govern

Iognition of leading member OF the
paper trust to position in control
of our state educational institutions,
There is demand for new deal
in this matter and both Nelson and
Butler should be displaced and the
appointments given to men with al
least interests IN common with oui
farmers. if not to farmers them
selves. and the fact that they might
be Republicans in politics shoulc
be no bar to their preferment.
It has been suggested that some
! succ essful farmer who has been
student of the St. Anthony schoo
would be particularly well qualified
for a place on the board, but this
article is not in the interest of any
especial candidate is only an ur-
gent plea for change in the make
up of our state boards all along tht
line, and especially in the interest O
placing one or two practical agricul
turists on the educational boart

The feeling between the ruling
party in Mexico and the Anne ricans
in general has been shown of late in
the Zelaya incident and in other
ways. Last week the American en-
gineers and conductors Of the Ma
tional Railways of Mexico made a
demand upon the company that at
least SO per cent. of conductors and
engineers to be hired in the future
shall have had actual experience in
railroading. The policy of the off
Gals is to work in green men and
ultimately displace the Americans
IN service. and strike is likely to
follow, giving the company the al.
tentative of running their trains
with ignorant and unframed men
or complying with the demands Of
strikers. The terrible arraignmeni
Of Mexican slavery and government
graft published in the American
Magazine has stirred up no LITTLE
resentment among the men who are
arraigned. Anyway, there can b

4 WORD TO GOVERNOR EBtRHARD

Seven out Of the nine members of
the present board of regents of the
state university are Democrats. This
condition, the turning into polite
al institution of the great education
al institution Of Minnesota, has been
the result of five years of Democrat
ic rule under the late Gov. Johnson.
Not a single member of the board
represents the great agrarian popu-
lation of the state. and yet this board
has control of an agricultural coll
lege in one of the great agricultural
states of the union.
During the next thirty days Gov.
Eberhart will have the appointment
of successors to three members of
this board, the terms of G. A. Smith,
B. F. Nelson and Pierce Butler ex-
piring on March 1st next. The
former is a Republican, and is the
sole surviving member of the board
which represents the late John S.
Pillsbury, ex-governor, and the one
man who stands out conspicuously
as founder of our university system.
We take it for granted that Mr..
Smiths reapp ointment is certain.
B. F. Nelson is one of the repre-
sentatives of the most pernicious
and perverted party spirit to be
found in the state. He has been the
ally and accompIice of Frank A. Day
ever since Frank A. Day quit the
Republican party to join Democracy
and the free silver craze down in
the second district. It was B. F.
Nelson who, last year, as president
of the state agricultural society
took $50 out of the society's funds
purchased mule and presented il
to William Jennings Bryan. No
content with spending the peoples
money for the mule he took add
tional funds to pay his expenses t

ST. PAUL LETTER.

Cor. Gazette.
The information that Assistant
Attorney General Geo. ". Peterson
has openly announced himself a can
didate for a seat on the supreme
bench is scarcely a matter of sur
prise. Mr.. Peterson has been known
for some time to entertain ambl-
tions in that direction. Mr.. Peter
son has had charge on behalf OF the
state of the timber trespass cases
and has pushed them to successful
conclusion. He is regarded as a
strong man and well equipped for
the judicial position. 1t is reported
that J. nj. Mason of Fergus Falls
and District Attorney Charles q.
Haupt may also conclude to be can
didates for similar positions.
Speaking Of Mr.. Mason reminds
me that he has recently been hon
ored by an appointment by the gov
ernor who has revived the state
arbitration board. He has appointed
on that board II. M. Leighton of
Minneapolis, contractor, who will
represent the employers of labor; Il.
lW. Goetzinger, of st. Paul. a labor

ingmen, and Mr.. Mason, referred to

turn came. He is understood, how
ever, to be reconciled now to the
way things turned out. He is said |
to owe his position to the activity of
Mr.. Underwood's Democratic friends
in official circles, who claimed the
right to name the treasurer as a re-
ward for their effort to bring about |
President Underwood's election. In
making appointments it is natural
| to anticipate that Mr.. Dunn will not |
forget his friends in the Kitchen
Cabinet and that the jobs will be
placed where they will do the most
good.
The board Of managers is said to
regard the instructions given at the
annual meeting as binding upon it
and as consequence the pass list
will be materially curtailed. Not
only will grand Stand tickets be re-
fused those who have been accus-
toned to receive them but even gate
admissions will be hard to get At
what limit these will be put has not
vet been decided upon. At previous
fairs the board has acted on the as
sumption that a generous list of
Ideadheads was essential to the sue
cess Of the exposition. and the point
has been argued at much length by
those who had the matter in charge.
It will be interesting to note the re-
suit of the policy Of pay as you enter
which it is assumed the management
will honestly adopt.
The need of additional buildings at
i the State fair was emphasized by
President Underwood in his inaugur
al address. In the agricultural de
partment there is only room +

room at all for farm exhibits

deem fundamental in reaching the
conclusion that we must have total
abstinence? First, that alcohol is
marco tic and poisonous in its action.
Alcohol is usually classified by
pharmacologists with such narcotics
as chloroform and ether, for it has
two-fold action; "a temporarily ex-
hilarant, (2) depressant. But as the
depressant action of alcohol is much
longer continued than the exhilar-
ant, it is rightly termed narcotic.
In all its forms it acts as a depres
SAINT on normal activities.
That alcohol is a poison is not
