In his keynote speech made at
Mankato yesterday Gov. Eberhart
reiterated his position as expressed
before. He summed up his state
ment in the following words:
"Several months ago l met the
friends of county option in their
state convention and defined my
position. If county option bill
is passed while / am Governor, l
will approve and enforce it..
My opponent cannot do more altho
he may promise more.'
James Gray's statement about
county option will be found in his
speech in the fifth column of pag.
three Of this issue. He makes a
straight forward declaration against
the power of the brewery interests
in politics and promises to urge
upon the legislature the necessity
of a county option law. 1t is idle

SENATOR SAGENG HAS
CLEAR SAILING.

The withdrawal Of C. J. Wright
from the contest for state senator
speaks volumes for the soundness
of Mr.. Wright's judgment, and
leaves him a factor in the political
field to be reckoned with at every
future election. His views coin
eide at SO many important points
with those held by Senator Sageng
that the contest could hardly have
been more than a friendly rivalry
for an opportunity to serve the
people along similar lines While
it is probably true that Mr.. Sa-
geng's election would have been
the result of the rivalry, in any
event a warm campaign might
have left unnecessary scars. His
retirement will bring relief to the
minds Of the friends of both
Mr.. Wright and Mr.. Sageng.-

Lecture at M. F.. Church.

There are very few men upon the
lecture platform who have made as
great success as Thomas McClary.
He has the humor Of an Artemus
Ward combined with the rare ora
tory and learning of a Wendell
Phillips. He has done as much to
make the lecture popular and at
the same time instructive, as any
man in the Lyceum field. Nature has
endowed Mr.. McClary with a face
and figure like that of Sol. Smith
Russell, and the same power with
which to make an audience laugh
or cry. His ideas are fresh. his
illustrations apt and his wit keen.

SIGNIFICANCE OF OTIS DECISION.

John Lind attended the railroad
rate hearings at Chicago, and on
his return to his home gave out an
interview which in his usual clear
cut and calculating language shows
the ar-reaching results of the re-
cent Otis decision should it be sus-
tanned. The following are a few
extracts from Mr.. Lind's remarks:
1.-The position of the railroads is
that they want more money. That
is the plea of all of them, and the
general managers Of the Missouri
Pacific, the Burlington and other
roads said that the pending pro-
posed Increase in rates is simply the
entering wedge and that it is their
plan to have a general and .substan-
tial increase all along the line.
''The grounds that they urge as
stated are that they need more
money for extensions, betterments
and improvements, such as sidings,
double tracks, better terminal facil-
tiles and more modern rolling
stock. They also contend that the
increase in wages and cost Of ma
terials makes it necessary that they
increase the rates.
$50 far as the increase in cost Of
material is concerned, the hearing
developed that there is. nothing to
that with the exception of cross
ties, The 8. & o., for instance,
put in a list of one hundred articles
on which there had been a price in
crease in the last ten years. The
whole thing was frivolous and far
cical, for instance. they cited an in
crease of 20 per cent in the cost of
brooms.
LAS to the wage schedule, there
has been a substantial increase, but
it is also apparent that the labor
unit, though better paid with the
aid of improved appliances, larger
cars and heavier engines. has be-
come more efficient than ten years
ago. so that the greater efficiency
on the whole probably counterbal.
ances the nominal increase in
wages.
1T is apparent, however. that
owing to the large increase in traffic
many roads have reached the point
of their maximum efficiency, any
additional increase in freight is Ii
able to make the handling of il
more expensive until they get addi
tional facilities. The economic
law that governs this question ma!
be stated this way Increased ton

mile in moving that tonnage. up
to the point of the capacity of the
road, but when the capacity is
reached, additional tonnage will
probably entail heavier expense in
moving.
The vital question involved is
this: The railroads need more for
beterments and extensions. They
want this money from the freight
rates. To this the shippers and
the public object. They say: "Ad-
ding to. extending and rebuilding
is your concern. You must obtain
the capital for doing that. You
have no right to ask the public to
furnish the capital for doing that.
The puplic does not get the stocks
and bonds that are issued to cover
this, and why should it furnish
money?
"All the roads were prosperous
last year. They had larger earn
ings and larger profits than ever,
Notwithstanding they spent more in
maintenance and improvements
than in any previous year. But
they are not satisfied with that.
MIR. Ripley Of the Santa Fe said
that he wanted the freight rates
raised on his system to a point that
would yield revenue for interest
and dividends and a like amount
annually to 60 in to the betterment
and extension Of the railroad. All
thu other railroad men practically
concurred in this. In other words,
they want the public to furnish the
capital for all improvements and
extensions, and the railroads insist
that they are entitled to appropri'
ate all the earnings Of the capita
furnished by the public.
The Otis decision gave then
much encouragement. In fact, il
would not be extravagant to say
that Wall street hoisted the BLACK
| flag on the strength of it.
I'm harmony with that decision
Mr.. Dawes. the general counsel Of
the Burlington, formulated the po
sition of the railroads in the fol
lowing language: The railroad
should be allowed to earn on it,
lpresent value, no matter how tina
value may have been created
whether from the expenditure O.
surplus in improvements in add
tion to the original investment, o.
> by the addition Of the natural in
crement.
"The testimony to which tn
statement applied showed that tn
Burlington has a capital invested
in the road, bonds and stocks
amounting to $320,000,000. 1t
claimed that in addition to thi
some $127, 100000 collected from
the shippers in excess of the amour
required to pay upkeep of tn
road, interest and dividends, ha
gone into the road, and that tn
stockholders are now entitled
dividends on this portion. of tn
! capital so furnished by the public.
"This contention, if sustained b
the courts will make state owner
ship an inevitable issue, if the pee
pie are to continue to do business
If the railroads are to be permitte
to capitalize their increased valu
from year to year and collect divi
dends on such increase from tn
public. rates will constantly ad
vance instead of declining.'

THE SENATORSHlP.

Extraordinary developments nave
occurred during the past week in
regard to the one contest TO be
made in the county this fall, viz.
the senatorship.
Senator L. O. Thorpe, who was
nominated in the Republican pri-
mary. has withdrawn from the race
and the county committee has filled
the vacancy by the appointment as
candidate of Charles w. Odell,
cashier of the First National Bank
of Willmar and Supervisor of the
Census for the Seventh Congress
sional District.
From the first, enat tor
Thorpe's attitude has been one
Of reluctancy to enter into a
strenuous campaign to be returned
for the coming term. He so in
formed the people in his announce
ment. AS none of his party seemed
to have any desire to get into his
way, he filed and was duly nomi-
mated. After the filing of Editor
Lawson Of the Tribune the Prohi-
bition ticket it speedily became
evident that strenuous campaign
would be required. Senator Thorpe
was unable to secure such pledges
of support as he felt he was en-
titled to have and concluded to
resign from the bad job. This left
the field clear for Lawson. The
politicians at Willmar, however.
got busy at once to fill the vacancy
and found Mr.. Odell willing to 60
into an attempt to save the day for
what is left of the old stand-pat
Republican machine whose inter-
ests appear to be such that it
couldn't bear the idea of having a
senator representing the county
on whom they have no party
strings.
| Just why politicians, who first en-.
couraged Senator Thorpe to file,
and then after his nomination dis
couraged him by withholding their
support, should now be so eager tt
get in the game themselves will
remain mystery until cleared w
by the results Of the campaign. Il
Mr.. Odell was dissatisfied will
Thorpe's record he had the chance
to promulgate a platform and try
conclusions with him in the pri
mary.
The spirit for fair play in thi
|. county is strong. and this strange
swapping of horses while crossing
a stream will not appeal strongl,
: to the fairminded voters of Kandi
7 yohi County.
This new deal appears to be
"frame-up" which is being fixed t
g catch the rising tide of progressive
sentiment with a new candidat
and progressive platform for tn
benefit Of the old discredited ma
chine, rather than permit the credi
to be given to anyone who had bee
f active in promoting the crystaliza
. tion of progressive ideas in tn
r community.

Taking the College to the Farms.

There are now being perfected at
the Massachusetts Agricultural Col
lege plans whose carrying out are
likely to make something Of a stir
among the farmers of the State.
Early in March there will set out
from the institution 4 caravan Of
three specially built electric cars, two
devoted to exhibiting purposes and
the transportation of products for dis
tribution, the third to living quarters
for the professors who are to illumi-
nate the purposes of this college on
wheels"
AS the cars go touring over the
street railroads of the Commonwealth
there will be offered at as many
points as possible a series of lectures
that will give the farmer the benefit
CT the study and experimenting that
has been made at the college along
his lines. The lectures will be sup
plemented by exhibitions OF products
which have been raised by certain
methods or under certain conditions,
and which illustrate the point the
lecturer is trying 10 bring out.-BoS-

Poultry Success.

Success with poultry is had by
knowing how This is not learned
in a day, or even a year, as We have
found by experience.
In 1876 at the Worlds Fair they
had royal birds-Asiatics, European
and Mediterranean, bat no barn yard
fowls. This was a worlds fair and
the barn yards were not in it. In our
boyhood days this barn yard tribe
furnished eggs in profusion. When
We saw those royal birds We thought
they offered a royal road to success.
but our idea Of royalty then differs
from what ii IS nov. Experience
with those royal birds showed that
royal birds. like royal people, are
poor stuff 20 build success upon.
The AsiatiCs were too indolent TO
keep healthy, and the corn crib low
cred rapidly. Europeans were too
qrarrelsome. It took n large range
to hold them and outside of egg pro-
ductiop they were rot suitable.
We then secured IIoudans and
Rocks: these proved more profitable
than any Of the former kinds. When
the f. !. Reds came around We found
in them or ideal fowl for the farm.
