Don't Fish Until May First.

Game Warden N. B. Andersen
called our attention Monday to the
fact that he had received instruc-
tons from the state game and fish
commissioner to promptly notify
him of any fishing being done with
hook and line. The law is impera-
tive against the practice before the
first of Nav, during the closed sea-
son, no matter whether the fish
caught are suckers, bullheads or
game fish. Spearing only is permits
sable for suckers, carp and other
rough fish.

Judge Comes Here to Hear
Testimony on Walnut
Grove Scrap.

The Walnut Grove contested cleo
ton case is to come before Judge
Olsen next Monday. the Judge COM
ing to this city for that purpose. to
decide the matter at special term.
The Judge may be depended upon to
decide the matter fairly and we do

the plaintiff Mcdonald. while Sen

the license side of the contention.

Durham and His Garden Green.

Alderman Durham has heard the
cry Of back to the soil, and be-
sides looking after his farm near
this city proposes to skin all the
amateur garden cranks in the city.
Without any hotbed foolishness he
sowed his seed early this month
when the skeptical gave him the
laugh for his misplaced faith in the
banana belt and now the laugh is
on the skeptics. for the alderman
can show early peas two inches high.

larry jealous about preserving the
right the people haye in the public
domain. In fact, that note ran
through his speech that national
resources can only be developed by
private capital. If coal mines are
to be developed in Alaska it must be
made easy for the Guggenheims to
get at them. That's the way the
iron industry has been developed in
Minnesota and the copper and silver
in Montana. It's one way. There
doesn't, however, seem to be much
in it for the public at large.
| notice that all the credit is being
given to Attorney General Simpson
for his attempt to collect from the
Kennedy estate inheritance taxes on
Great Northern securities. 1t should
not be forgotten if this proves sue
cessful that it was Mr.. Iverson, the
State auditor, who first directed Mr..
Simpsons attention to the matter by
a letter on file at the State Capitol.
If there is any virtue in the sugges-
ton the auditor is entitled to credit
for having made it.
The States right to such inherit
ance taxes is by no means clear and
its claim to them will no doubt be re-
sisted by the heirs. There seems no
question that under the laws of the
State of New York where Kennedy
lived that State can collect taxes on
the Kennedy personal estate which
includes the securities in question.
Whether they can be taxed again for
Minnesota's beneft-that is to say,
whether they can be made subject to
double taxation is nice question up
on which, until settled by hecourts,
it would be presumptuous for lay
man to venture an opinion.
Speaking of Iverson, views as to

est disposition on Mr.. Ballinger's
part to make any concessions to pub
lie sentiment. He had much to say
about the States duty to conserve;
little to tell about how the federal
government was discharging his
own. Mr.. Ballinger's speech lacked
the earnestness Of the man entrusted
with important duties There was
nothing to indicate that he had sym
pathy with the work Of reclamation
or conserving which Roosevelt insti-
tuted. No doubt he regarded the
the interest here as another phase
of that hysteria' to which he re-
ferred.
The prejudice against Mr.. Balm
ger, which it is idle to deny exist in
the public mind, was increased on
the occasion Of his visit here by an
interview of which he made haste to
deliver himself, in which he made an
onslaught on the congressional insur
gents and insurgency. tThe insur-
gent movement in the Republican
party" he said, is merely an ebulli-
ton, a species Of histeria, with a
faint of hypocrisy as WE'LL"
Mr.. Ballinger assumed that the
congressional investigation commit
tee will exonerate him from the
charges preferred against him.
am inclined to think that in that he
is right. 1t looks as if the commit
tee had made up it's mind to do that
before the inquiry began However,
it's matter of small consequences
whether or not the gentlemen who
are engaged in making the inquiry
decide to apply the whitewash brush
or otherwise. The public will come
to its own conclusion on the eyi-
dence submitted. So far it has not
been of such character as to indi-

So far as | can learn, Mr.. Balm
gers speech made no great hit here.
It does not appear to have impressed
anybody as that Of a man very great

criticism Of the Roosevelt methods
which did not 60 down well here.

On Sunday evening Rev. Taylor
%. Thompson preached his farewell
sermon to the congregation of the
Burlington Presbyterian church. A
< very large audience which crowded
the church listened to Mr.. Thomp-
son as he bade farewell to his con-
gregation.
s85s Mr.. Thompson has been pastor of
the Burlington Presbyterian church
4 for over year and half, having
preached there each Sunday during
n his senior year in the local high
school. After his graduation he &C.
cepted a call to remain there for the
summer and at their request altered
his plans for entrance into college
5 last fall to remain as their pastor
during the winter months. Mr..
" Thompson began his work in Burling
/ ton before he was eighteen years of
/ age, and when given charge Of the
WORK, was told that as yet the Bur-
lington field was but a missionary
B field, and as yet was not strong
enough to support regular pastor.
!. He was also told that he should do
!, his best to get the field in such shape
that when he finished his work there
1t would have to be as successor
regularly ordained minister in the
Presbyterian church. In. spite Of his
4 youth and inexperience he was sue
cessful in these eorts and not only
.are they to secure such q successor
to Mr.. Thompson. but they are also
going to build a splendid parsonage.
When Mr.. Thompson first preached
in Burlington he preached once each
Sunday to an audience Of twenty or
thirty. when he concluded his work
