Expression of Contempt.

We condemn the national administra-
ton for its initial failure to prevent the
conservation of natural resources. and
have nothing but contempt for its insin-
cere efforts to appear to support con-
servation after public disapproval of its
course was manifested
1--WE condemn the retention of Richard
A. Baliinger as Secretary of the Interior
after the exposure of his methods of con-
Quoting the affairs of that office relating
to conservation, and declare it to be a
national scandal.
I'VE deplore the discharge of Clifford
Pinchot from the Office of chief forester
as a national crime.
The democrats of Minnesota commend
the republican insurgents of Minnesota for
their vote on the Payne tariff bill.
We demand the election of United
States senators by direct vote Of the peo-
pie.
We strongly commend the course of
Winfield Scott Hammond, the democratic
representative of Minnesota in Congress,

elect him"

On the matter of resolutions there was
no contention except for a plank on
county option. The anti-county optionists
were in the saddle in the committee on
resolutions. This committee heard the
resolutions offered by the county option
lists and then voted them down and in
serted plank declaring for the initia-
tive and referendum, which the committee
declared would answer the same .pur-
pose.
On the other resolutions in the plat
form there was no fight On national
issues the platform says:
I'VE deplore the weakness and timidity
of President Taft. who. with his own
campaign promises still fresh. but DOM
mated by the predatory interests, weak

of his high Office to force a recreant
congressional majority to do its duty of
tariff reform. No subsequent effort to
fulfill party promises can atone for this
supreme failure to restore public Con-

CHICAGO, Ill, July 29.-An important
step in the organization of a powerful
force to battle with the railroad interests
over the matter of increasing freight
rates was ta'-en yesterday at a meeting
of the national Industrial committee and

big rate congress in Chicago in May.
Twenty-three men representing fifteen

of an all-day session that 1t was the most
harmonious gathering ever held on the
subject. and that while the discussions
Jwere broad and extensive the result was
perfect unanimity.

High Regard for Lind.

Mutterings of the trouble were heard
early in the day. and an unusual con-
dition existed. The entire delegation was
a unit in declaring that John Lind was
one of the best democrats in Minnesota.
The delegates were all his friends, but
divided into two factions. One insisted
that Lind must be nominated, despite
his repeated refusal to be a candidate
and his final fiat declaration in tel
egram from Portland, Greg, yesterday
that he would not accept the nomination.
while the other argued that he had been
Governor of Minnesota and had nothing
TO gain by the nomination, and that he
was of sufficient Importance to have his
wishes needed by the convention.
The latter faction shook fists at the
chairman and at the other side, while
those bent on nominating Lind howled,
Missed and completely blocked the pro-
ceedings. until by sheer force of noise
and enthusiasm they won their point and
forced the nomination.
Even then the faction opposed to the
nomination took advantage of a motion
to make the nomination unanimous to
argue. They wanted to submit the nomi-
nation to Mr.. Lind by telegraph and
await his answer-to take recess till
o'clock at night if necessary-but this
failed and finally the nomination was
made unanimous and the convention adj
journed at 6:33.

Subpoena Issued July 8.

July 8 last a subpoena was issued COM
manding the officers of the company to
produce before the grand jury engaged in
an investigation of alleged irregularities
in the sale of stock of the United Wire
less Telegraph Company the stock books
of the corporation. Ninety-nine of these
books were produced, but on looking
them over eighteen were found to be
missing. Additional subpoenas were serv-
ed on the six officers individually July
% and %. but this did not bring forth
the missing books.
The proceedings before Judge Hand
yesterday were to decide whether the
six local officers and directors of the
company should be purged of the con-
tempt alleged by Special Master How
land. Assistant United States District
Attorney Stephenson reviewed the con-
illusions of the special master, pointing
cut that there had been a willful evasion
of the grand jury's command and as
serting that the motive of the United
Wireless officers in abstracting the stock
books was to conceal the records of
their stock manipulations. He referred
to the testimony of Arthur c.. Fike,
transfer clerk at the United Wireless
Company's Jersey City Office, No. 45
Montgomery street, before Special Master
Rowland to sshow that the books had
been spirited away by some one in high
authority.

Transfer Clerks, Testimony.

Fixes testimony was that he missed
the books from their place in the files
some time after July 1, or about ten
days or two weeks prior to the time the
officers we're served with grand jury
subpoenas. He testified further that
they were distracted without his knowl-
edge and presumably by somebody ia
miliar with the .company's affairs.
Judge Hand declined to relieve Mr.
Butler of his part of the responsibility
because he resigned on July %, few
hours before the subpoena was served on
him.
II cannot see that he is less responsible
than the Others said the court ITO
whom would we have looked for these
hoods had all the officers decided to re-
sign in a body? The motive is plain
to the court. The officers of the COM
pany were the ones most concerned in
the abstraction OF these books; they will
be given ample time to produce Them

PARKER HOUSE ROLLS


In making these rolls place two
tablespoonful of sugar. one tea
spoonful of salt, three tablespoon
fuls of butter and two cupfuls of
scalded milk in bowl. When it is
cooled until it is luke-warm add one
cake of yeast that has been softened
n one-fourth of a cupful of warm
water and three cupfuls of -four, then
knead it thoroughly and place in the
bowel again and leaev until it has
/ 'isen to double its bulk. Place on a
Toured board and roll out until it is
ne-third of an inch thick and cut
nto small biscuit. Spread butter
very thinly on one-half, score
through the center and fold over,
pressing the edges together. Place
N a pan that has been. very slightly
creased and see that they( do not
touch. Cover with. an inverted pan
or clean cloht and let rise until very
light and bake in a hot oven from
twelve to fifteen minutes.
Being cramped for room in my
cupboard, I had two brass supports
screwed into the sidewall, nearly as
far apart as my kneading-board is
wide, and about eight inches from
the floor. The board is slipped into
these supports, a wooden button at
the top holds it securely and no
room is wasted. THE brass pieces
can be bought at any large hardware
store. Ae
If you are in need of sprinkler for
your flower garden and have no
money to buy one, take a lard pail
of any size you prefer, and with
smmall nail punch a number of holes
in the bottom. = Set the punctnred
pail in larger pail Of water; lift
it out. and swing it back and forth
over your garden. You will find that
it works like charm.
Should you be unfortunate enough
to be caught unprotected in heavy
shower and return home. with your
best hat a mass of dropping roses,
chiffon and ribbon, do not be dis
mayed, but give the hat this treat
ment: Shake the hat well, suspend
i tfrom the chandelier or other con-
venient place, upside down, and leave
it till quite dry. The flowers, trim
ming. etc, will dry in an upright
position, and the hat itself may look
fresher for its impromptu bath.
