Congressman Tawney won out in
the state supreme court in his libel
suit against the Albert Lea Tribune.
The court reversed the district court
OF Freeborn county, which dismissed,
on the pleadings, Mr.. Tawney's suit

editorial in the Albert Lea Tribune,
based on some comment in the Phila-

The annual convention of the state
agricultural society will be held at
the new capitol, St. Paul, on January
IL, II and - and at the agricultural
college on January IA. These
sessions are open to the public as we'll
as the delegates and are we'll worth
attending by those interested in the
agricultural or live stock Industries,

delivered dealing with those subjects.
Frank B. Everett of Cleveland,
near LIE Sueur, we'll digger, was
attacked by eight timber wolves while
driving home from his work in
Elysian. The savage animals chased
him five miles. He fought them off
desperately, but his horses became
tired and could not keep up the pace.
Taking off his fur coat Everett
wrapped sick of dynamite in it, lit
the fuse and threw it to the wolves.
They bounced upon it in body and,
in moment the dynamite exploded,
killing them all. Their scalps were
worth 1886 more than new overcoat
There are 10000 accidents year
on the railroads and in the mines
and workshops of Minnesota, accord
ing to the. annual report of State
Labor Commissioner w. E. McEwen.
At the last session of the legislature
law was passed requiring all cor
porations to report accidents to the
state labor bureau, the object being to
aid the work of the commission that is
drafting an employers liability law
to be presented at the next session of
the legislature. AS result of this
law the labor department has been
gathering statistics of accidents in
Minnesota. During the last three
months $500 have been reported, being
at the rate of 10000 for a year.
According to the statement of Mr..
McEwen, one-half of these could be
prevented.

An Indisnutalla Fact.
Those Awful Exceptions.

The Bemidji Pioneer, in recent
issue, appeals to republican papers of
the state to: "Be good, for once,
boys: and let's see if we cannot elect
a republican governor next fall" It
asserts that all the republican papers
in the state, with two or three ex-
ceptions" are giving Governor Eber-
hart the support he is entitled to, and
names two of the objecting papers,
one of which is printed in Mile Laos
county and the other in Stearns
county. -Sauk Centre Herald.

Clear the Marks of Genius
There are certain country news
papers which bear the mark of genius
behind the editorial pen so plainly
that they make the exchange desk a
thing of joy. There's the Ortonville
Herald-Star, the Walker Pilot, the
Brainerd Dispatch, the Princeton
Union, Saltwater Gazette, Cambridge
Independent-Press, Red Wing Re-
publican and Fairmont Sentinel,
whose editorial pages scintillate with
wit, truth, candor and humor. These
papers, with a few Others make the
exchange desk pleasure rather than
a task.-Anoka Herald.

Not a Bad Sueeestion Either

The Foley Independent thinks the
next legislature should consider the
proposition of reapportionment, an
income tax, a one cent tax for good
roads and the publication of the
personal property tax list. The Foley
editor should be sent to the legislature
that he might incorporate his ideas
into laws instead of suggesting to the
other ellow.-Brainerd Dispatch.

Governor Eberhart is going about
the country preaching conservation of
natural resources for the benefit of the
state. Would it not be we'll for the
governor to practice what he is
preaching and conserve little of his
brain power and hot air for the benefit
of the state of which he is the chief
executive?- Faribault Pilot.

Conserving His Own Political Interests.
In connection with his conservation
congress next month Gov. Eberhart
proposes to appoint committee of
1000 farmers to consider the question
OF Improving the conditions surround
ing country life. If the members of
this committee will admit that their
condition needs any Improvement
such body ought to compose large
and effective campaign committee.
Perhaps after all it is his own condi-
tion that the governor is anxious to
improve Ortonville Herald-Star.

How About the Innocent Public:
The best that can be said for the
strikers, is that it was an ill-advised
move. They should have made their
demand while holding their jobs and
there would have been a chance for
them to have gained something but
now in any event the loss falls on the
strikers.-Rush City Post.

''Old Put" Hopes They Won't Strike.
Some facetious Individual suggests
that perhaps the farmers will strike
and then what? Then we will starve.
Should the farmers take lay off and
refuse to raise crops except for their
own consumption, which they could
do if financially able to stand it for a
year or so, then all strikes combined
would look like canoe as com pared
with a battleship. Hope they won't.

The Remedy
II 1t is true, as alleged, that the
railroads charge express companies
half cent a pound for carrying news
papers and periodicals, while thew
charge the United States government
nine cents a pound, it would seem to
US that the remedy for the postoffice
deficit would be a considerable re-
duction on the part of the railroads in
their prico to the government for
carrying the mails instead of any in
crease in the postage rate.-Duluth

Age Makes Quite Difference
The same man who can't walk ten
blocks on a cold, windy day would
have twenty years ago, ridden in a
bobsled twenty miles in one night,
with the thermometer 10 degrees below

than that. he wouldn't have kicked if
he had been dumped into a 'snowdrift
half dozen times during the evening.
Beats all how tender a fellow gets
after he quits chasing around the
country with lot of young folks in a
bobsled. Blue Earth Post.
