UNCLE SAM MAY PAY DEBT
Southern Pacific Claim Cut in Two
 by Senate Committee.

The Senate sub committee on Claims, having charge of the claim of the Southern Pacific for stopping the flood caused by break in the banks of the Colorado River at the request of President Roosevelt, has scaled the bill down from $1,6OO,OOO to $S7O,O0O and reported in favor of paying that amount
 In replying to President Roosevelt, Hartman said he would place all his equipment at the disposal of the gov ernment. The committee thinks the railroad should accordingly make no charge for it strains and equipment, and holds that the railroad was bene- fited to the extent of the difference between the claim made and the sum allowed, inasmuch as it's own tracks were in danger of being washed away.
 Senator Flint is quoted as having said that if the Senate passed this claim he felt satisfied that the House would do the same, as the committee of the House which has been consid- ering the claim, looked at the matter in much the same light as the Senate Committee did.

Princeton Union: Those Jealous
newspaper supporters Of our versatile
governor are hard to please. They
seem to labor under the impression
that the governor is not getting the
support The IS entitled to-" in certain
quarters. Great Scotland! He has
the support of Ed. Smith, Oar Reese
and the entire senatorial combine;''
the Brewers and Liquor Dealers
association; the Twin City rapid
Transit company and every other
corporate interest In the Twin Cities;
the great American Steel trust and it's
allied interests in this state; the rail.
road corporations and last but not

The postmaster general is worrying
about the great deficit Of ST., 900, 900 in
his department, and suggests increased
postage on magazines and newspapers
to cover the loss. The postmaster
general knows we'll enough that the
greatest cause of the deficit is the ex-
tortionate price paid for rental of mail
cars and railroad carrying of mail.
The railroads charge an exorbltant
rate to the government, at the same
time giving the express companies low
rates. Worse than highway robbery
has been perpetrated on the people
Tor years by the railroads in their
charges for carrying mail, and yet we
don seem able to find a congress, a
president or postmaster general with
the courage and determination to stop
the graft. If the present postmaster
general would let politics alone for q
while and study out a practical
method of getting the mail-carrylng
charge down where it ought to be, he
would earn the gratitude Of the people.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

Every professional and business
man, or anyone else interested in the
development of our city and county
ought to be on hand at the annual
meeting of the Commercial club next
Monday night, and enlist himself as
a member for the coming year it not
already one. The old members should
also be there in large numbers.
While there has as rule been a
number of members at the meetings,
there has not been the attendance
that spells enthusiasm, push and
energy for the things that we should
be Interested in. Don't holler be-.
cause this and that thing isn't so and

out with your suggestions. There are
many things that can be done for
Little Falls, but united action is
necessary to attain the end that will
ahow marked progress when the COM
ing year has passed.

STORM WINDOWS A MENACE.


Ed. Redwood Gazette: am pleased
to note in your issue of the first inst,
that you question the ACCESSIBILITY of
storm windows. am convinced my
self that the next twenty-five years,
possibly a shorter period of time, will
see the disappearance OF most of the
storm windows now used on public
and private buildings in this state.
Conditions at present are certainly
not only insanitary but disgusting.
have travelled around the state a good
deal and have had the greatest
difficulty IN obtaining a room at a
hotel IN the winter season that was
not sealed up tight against the en-
trance of pure cold air. Some of
these hotels are not aired from
November to April and are constantly
pe1vaded by stale odor.
AS to the necessity for use of storm
windows in this climate in the winter
time, on certain windows and under
certain circumstances, they may be
majority of the kind of storm

from the inside, are menace to
health. There ought to be law IN
this state forbldding the fitting of any
storm window on q room used for
living or sleeping or public gatherings
mot ventilated by forced draft) unless
the same is so adjusted as to be readily
opened from the inside. Although it
would probably be unwlse to prohibit
the use of storm windows altogether,
yet 1t may be noted that none Of the
best hotels use them at all. Where
windows are properly fitted there is
not much need of storm sash. When
Twas in Ely last winter the prorietor
of one of the local hospitals who had a
large building on windy corner told
me that he had found no need of
placing storm sashes on his hospital.
I. myself, have never but once, and
shall never again sleep in a room
where the window has a storm sash
fastened on tight. Why not start a
crusade against the use of storm
sashes in Redwood Falls and Redwood

make the changes necessary In the

IL Is pretty apparent that Taft's
smile is not altogether the expression
for a kindly, generous nature The
indications are that 1T IS largely 9
mask, and that the serenity OF;
cOuntenance has deceived the American
puople. Largeness of frame does not
always mean largeness of wisdom.
The fact is, as the American Magazine
shows in its current number, that the
Iaft smile has long been deceptive,
and instead of illuminating, has
darkened popular perception Of what
is the real nature Of William Howard
Taft. He smiled his way through
the presidential campaign while
Roosevelt did the hammering. He
kept on smiling very broadly-when
he announced a cabinet containing a
majority OF reactlonsts ana trust
tools headed by Steel Trust knox,
and including Ballinger, who had been
repudlated by Roosevelt. Roosevelt,
1t is true, had Root and Knox in his
cabinet, but he controlled them, and
was not their willing puppet. Taft
smiled again when he espoused the
cause of Aldrich and Cannon and
signed a dishonest tariff bill in the
interests of his party" and against
the interest of the people. Then he
surely smiled again when he told the
people that Aldrlch was a great
statesman, that his central bank
scheme was good, that ship subsidy was
right, that we must 60 gently about
spending money on the great rivers,
and that he believed in the Roosevelt
policies, but would carry them out his
own way. The smile grew broader
when CLAWS was dismissed and
Balllnger given certificate of
character and must have changed to
loud laughter when Plnchot was
thrown out. Such q good natured,
jolly statesman is our president. And
remember the case of Crane, said to be
the best fitted man in the country for
the Chinese mission. Inundated by
beng forced to resign before he left
the country, and it seems at the behest
of Interests" which did not want
such man In China. Then there is
Wlckersham, the attorney. general who
writes private letters to the district
attorney of New York telling him to
20 slow IN the sugar trust cases.
Wickersham must get q real oleaginous
smile. TAFT will need to keep on

and who will return to find his
policies a joke, bis friends dismissed
from public services, and all the force
of reaction behind the admlnistra-
tion? And what of the day of

Bradstreet's says that the cost of liv-
ing in the United States increased II
per cent OH the average on ninty-six
commodities during the year ending
Dec. l, 1909. In some things the ad-
vance was very great. The problem is
certainly becoming a serious one. A
Des Moines standpat paper says the
reason IS that people who once bought
SIS over coat now insist on having
one that costs $35. The New York
Post we'll answers this by saying that
the trouble is the coat once sold at SIS
now sells for $50. That appears to be
the nub of it all.

Beneath the sands may stand a pyramid
Unmentioned in historic book or tome;
The forest may o'ertop some crumblino

Beneath which olden rulers dreamed
and did;
Some palace that once housed the
mighty Cid
Nay sleep below an humble peasants

The stately halls and castles still I'M

What could be ours, would we but take
