TR4NPS LURE BOYS.
TSeo Lads Rescued on Railroad
Tracks.

As Patrolman Cronin, of the Kings
bridge police station, was on his post
ar 2slst street and Broadway yesterday
afternoon he happened to glance down
st the tracks of the New York Central
Railroad and was surprised to see swo
well dressed little boys of about twelve
years walking UP them with two tramps.
The difference in the dress Of the tramps
and the boys was observed by the police
man and he decided TO investigate
Cronin climbed down to the tracks and
stopped the men and asked them where
they were going and what they were do
ing with the boys. The men could offer
no satisfactory explanation of their pres
ence on the tracks with the boys, and
Cronin decided to place them under ar
rest
The little fellows said that they had
met the men at Audubon avenue and
16Sth street, and that the tramps had
asked them for something to eat. The
boys had gone to their homes and
brought back food. The tramps, they
said. had then promised to take them
to a place where they would find a lot
of money, and the four had set out for
this hidden place Of wealth.
When taken to the station house, the
boys gave their names as Warren Young,
eleven years old, of No. sos West 16Sth
street, and Thomas Brewer, twelve
years old, Of No. Sc Audubon avenue
They Were held as witnesses, while the
tremps Were charged with enticing boys
away from their homes. They gave
their names as Joseph Decker and Dean
Rich and said they had no homes.

Professor Ekenburg is a resident of Lon
don, but was in Sweden last October when
Ion Hammer, director of the Swedish Ex-
port Association, at Stockholm, was in
jured by a bomb received in his mail, and
when a similar attempt was made upon the
life of a manufacturer of Gothenburg, who
was reputed to be unfriendly to the Society
of the Young Socialists.
Upon his return to London Ekenburg
became the object of suspicion, and knowI-
edge of the fact so distressed him that he
broke down mentally and was removed to
an asylum. Later he appeared to have re-
covered possession of his mental faculties
and he was removed to BriXton Jail

The GAINESVILLE Argus has clearly
defined views on the county option
question which should commend
themselves to all temperance people.
It says: Properly there can be no
issue upon that question without a
direct vote of the people. The spir-
it of our civic life is such that no
legislative body has any business to
refuse the people an opportunity to
vote upon that question or for that
matter any other question when a
respectable number of people de-
mand it. There ought to be one
sentiment and only one, permeating
all parties and endorsed by all legis-
lative candidates, that the people
should be granted this privilege. It
should come spontaneously and
should be expressed in language as
emphatic as it is determined. When
the question comes before the peo-
pie then and then only may the
issue be clearly and properly defined.
The attempt to make it a party
question instead of a purely legis-
lative question is wrong and is a
source Of delay rather than a help in
solving the problem.

The Cost of a Field of Grain.

Few farmers know the labor cost
of a field of grain. Few know
whether the crop harvested pays
the labor cost. 1t is less difficult
than troublesome to keep a record,
but if the farmer will carry a little
booksand make a memorandum of
the hours actually spent in blowing,
in preparing the seed bed, in plow-
ing or planting, in cultivating, in
harvesting-in fact a record, by
hours, of all time consumed by man,
and team, he will discover new light
and begin to find remedies. An
account should be kept with each
field as with an individual. Charge
the field with the labor at a price
the farmer would pay for it if he
hired the work done. Each item of
cost should be charged to the field.
If a machine is broken, charge the
expense OF repairs to the Held IN
which the accident occurs. When
the crop is taken off, credit the field
with its value. The difference be-
tween the two footings will show
where the loss or gain falls. Going
further in bookkeeping. the cost of
seed, to which the cost of cleaning,
etc., might be added and made

first amendment on the ballot,
which provides that the state may

the constitution as it is the state
can contribute only one-third of the
cost. To make it plain. at present

Candy News: II hold. says Presi-
dent Roosevelt, referring to legis-

York, that the only way in which
a politician can really serve his party
is by helping that party efficiently
to serve the people, In selecting
candidates for the legislature the
people should choose men who have
proved their capacity for such serv-

anything else, needs men of char

Deserving Editor Appreciated.

Appreciation is about the best re-
ward faithful editor can hope for,
and we take pleasure in passing
along to Gazette readers the follow
ing tribute from the pen of Editor
Bjornson of the Minneota Mascot to
his neighbor at the county seat:
Thirty years is a long time. An
active newspaper career in the same
community for that period means a
lot of work. 1t means a whole lot
of energy expended. 1t means the
best part of any ordinary life de-
voted to the cause of one commun-
ity, the interests Of one locality. C.
c. Whitney is still in the prime of
his mental vigor and should have
decades of service ahead of him,
but, as such things are ordinarily
reckoned, he has spent the best
years of his life working for Mar
shall and Lyon county. He has built
up the News Messenger into one of
the strongest papers in the state
and he has won for himself the en-
viable distinction of being one of
the very best newspaper writer's in
Minnesota. His paper is power in
its community and the state and its
editor is welcomed in the highest
political circles Of his party wheth-
er this last is compliment we will
leave those acquainted with such
circles to Judge.
Thus his work has brought him
power but not wealth assets upon
which he can not draw for material
comforts. And still he is no doubt
satisfied, because he knows that he
has in many instances been able to
help in the struggle to maintain a
clean city, in the fight for better
schools and better government. His
labor has left the county better, his
work has added to the comforts of
the community.
And so we take this occasion to
congratulate Marshall upon having
in its city the most ably edited coun-
try paper in the state of Minnesota
and express the hope that the News
Messenger may pass as many natal
days in the future as it has in the
past under its present efficient man

Two Strong Reasons.

A certain Scotch minister in q

an Edinburgh divinity student was

to be allowed to preach the follow
