A New Civil Calender

We have received from an adver.
Using firm in San Francisco a copy
OF proposed calendar, whose aim is
to avoid the acknowledged drawbacks
OF the regorian calendar by substitu-
ting one that is better suited to the
requirements of our day.by-day life.
Although the regorian calendar dates
from the year 1882, long before that
many and various improvements had
been suggested for conveniently divid-
ing the 365 days OF the year into weeks
and months. Our correspondents ask
"Are we not again far enough adj
vanced beyond the times of 1882 to
adopt certain other changes?" and
they offer a calendar which divides
the 81 weeks of the year into IS
months, each having exactly % days.
The first of January and the first of
every one Of the twelve succeeding
months fall on a Sunday, and the 18th
or last day of each month, therefore
falls on a Saturday. The obvious
advantage of this arrangement is that
since each day of the week must be
one of four numbers out of the %
Sunday for any month of the year
being either the LIST, 9th, 18th, Or 22nd,
Tuesday either the 3rd, 10th, l7th, or
Oath, etc.,, if one knows the day of the

At Owatonna last week the annual
convention of the Southern Minnesota
Good Roads association was held and
over 300 enthusiastic delegates were
present. One of the speakers trul y
said: "Just as we judge cities by
paved streets Or muddy dirty business
streets SO are counties coming to be
Judged by condition of roads leading
through their boundaries. A stranger
traversing poorly maintained roads
receives an impression of that district
which all the advertising in Kingdom
Come cannot overbalance. And
nothing will advertise abroad the
merits of county more than we'll
kept, we'll graded and smooth country
~oads.' Princeton Union.

The strangest accident recort

The strangest accident recorded in
local history occurred when Rhada-
manthus, duck which had taken
prizes at the recent Iowa poultry
show, exploded into several hundred
pieces, one Of which struck Silas
Perkins in the eye, destroying the
sight. The cause of the explosion
was the eating OF yeast placed in a
pan upon the back porch, which temp
ted his duckship, who was taking a
morning stroll. When Mr.. Perkins
discovered his prize duck it was in a
somewhat 'slogy" condition. Telltale
marks around the pan of yeast gave
him his clue. He was about to pick
up the bird when the latter exploded
with loud report, and Mr.. Perkins
ran into the house holding both hands
over one eye. A surgeon was called,
who found that the eyeball had been
penetrated by fragment of flying
duck and gave no hope of saving the
optic. Mr.. Perkins advises that il
ducks and yeast are to be kept on the
same premises they should be kept as
far apart as possible.

We acknowledge receipt of cir
@5ssIar letter ia which Samuel G. liver
sen, state auditor, officially announces
mis- candidacy for renomin alton at
The Republlcaa state convention. Mr..
Averson, who is toward the end of his
second four-year term as auditor, has
>oeen considered by many as possible
candidate for governor, but after a
canvass Of the political situation, has
decided after comforting with many
friends to become a candidate for re-
election. He will undoubtedly be
opposed in the convention, as Robert
j. Wells, Breckenridge, has already
announced his candidacy, and A. W.
Thompson Of Fillmore county is con-
sldered an active candidate.

The Harvester Trust.

In addition to its regular dividends
the harvester trust is about to hand
stockholders 500, 600, 900. The failure
to give slice of the melon to far
mers seems ungenerous, and the man
with the market basket also is over
looked. The question asked by the
Minneapolis Tribune s:HoW do the
farmers of the country like it'' is a
timely one. That company has paid
7 per cedt on its preferred stock for
two yeats and before that paid from 3
to per cent on its old stock. This
Indicates some kind of reorganization
in 1907, especially as the management
OF the concern is in the hands of a
voting trust.
But information about these indus
trial combinations is very scanty in
the common sources of financial in
formation. No outsider knows exact
~ what she stock Of a trust represents.
The common rule is that the preferred
stock represents the stock of constitu-
ent companies, probably literally
watered, while the common stock re-
presents the clear and limpid water of
the new com bination. The $40. 900. 900
stock dividend is said to represent
profits OF the last few years, absorbed
in the plants of the trusts.
All of the stock is to receive per
cent dividend hereafter, the earnings
for 1909 having exceeded sl4, 1000, 900
after proper allowance for deprecia-
ton. The common stock being now
$50, 100000, there will be distribu-
ton of So, 100000 a year on capital
that represents nothing but passed
earnings and expectation of future
earnings. Then the 7 per cent divi-
dend on preferred will take 81 200, 900
more on $50. 000,0 capitalization that
may represent some money originally
put into the constituent businesses.
The International Harvester CON-
pany was incorporated in New Jersey
in 1902 and embraced the Mccormick,
Deering and several other companies
in the Middle West organized to man
ufacture agricultural machinery. The
combination suppresses domestic COM
petition and the prohibitory tariff on
agricultural machinery shuts out
foreign competition, except upon
machines exported to foreign coun-
tries which are understood to sell for
about half the American price.
The tariff and the trust principle
seem to work together upon the pocket
OF the consumer of agricultural machi-
merry like the two blades of a sharp
and we'll balanced pair of scissors.

''In my efforts for conservation of
state resources 1 have been actuated

for governor promises to be very in
teresting.

John r. Walsh the once mighty
Chicago banker is in the penitentiary.
The big. and little, good and bad
papers nowwrite moralizing editorials,
the sum and substance of which is to
emphatically convey the idea that the
way OF transgressor is "hard and that
justice falls alike upon the rich and
poor" Of course it is easy to go for
Walsh who is in the pen; he is a
broken man, his money is gone; he
stumbled and fell and now they turn
upon him and devour him. His con-
viction does not prove that dishonesty
in business is punished, nor does it
furnish an illustration Of the impartial
ity of the law, for punishment did not
come, until he had disturbed the profits
OF others. 1t proves that he infringed
upon the hunting grounds of more
powerful criminals than he was and
that man of wealth may commit al
most any crime for years with impuni-
ty. Even in his punishment he is fav-
ored far above the ordinary law
breaker. He enjoyed liberty for more
than year after a poor man who
had stolen pennies to Walsh's doll ars
would have been serving sentence.
Preparations far in advance of his
coming were made to smooth his way
at the penitentiary. The powerful in
fluences that have SO long protected
him are still moving to secure his par
don. 'The way of the transgressor
is hard" is an ill-advised text for
either a sermon or editorial.

week, it is possible to find the day of
the month quickly and without refe-
renee to a calendar.
The additional month necessary nm
der this system is named by its spon-
sors Vincent and it is placed in
the calendar between June and July.
Thirteen months of IS days each,
however. give total of only 1854 days
for the year, and To accommodate the
ODD day, it is proposed that between
Saturday, the last day of December,
and Sunday, the first day of January
there should be a day to be known as
ammo Day." It is not recognized as
as a calendar day, and beyond its
name, has no other distinction to sep
arate 1t from the last day of Deem
Der. Any labor done on Ammo Dav
would have to be a matter of special
contract or agreement. No interest
or rental will accrue upon that day,
and for all such purposes it would be
considered part of Saturday, Decem.
Der 70. Leap Year is provided for by
an extra day between Saturday, Vim
cent 18th. and Sunday, Vincent 18th.
This would be known as sMidanno''
and it would be treated in all respects
similarly to Ammo Day.
Although there can be no question
OF the simplicity and convenience of
the proposed calendar, in respect of
any prospect of it's imme diate and
worldwide adoption, we fear it must
be classed with those two other great
desirables, the ''metric system" and
the 'longer daylight day." We are
not more firmly convinced of the adj
vantages of this and those PROPOSE
tons for simplifying and rendering
easier and more pleasant the round
of daily life and it's duties, than we
are that to bring about these sugges-
ted improvements will take many
years of arduous and persistent agi-
tation. Scientific American.

In going through our exchanges we
lind that many Minnesota towns are
favored by some district Or state con-
ventions which are being held during
the winter. What's the matter with
New Ulm? Can't the Commercial
Club or some enterprising citizens
secure some of these conventions for
our city, which is known all over the
state for its hospitality and the many
advantages as convention town.

There has been SO much said of late
ABOUT whipping the insurgent element
into line. How is it to be done? The
congressman are indebted to certain
persons in their respective districts
Cor campaign work in bringing about
their election and the congressman
want these men appointed to post
master Or other Offices under the
S=sies=l government. But the republi-
gan sHarty owns the government and
-Aldrich, Cannon and Taft own the
Republican party. Now, if congress-
man is an insurgent against this
power his supporter ought to be
destroyed, starved out. The first and
most sacred duty according to the
politician) OF the government party is
so preserve itself. Congressman must
secure the places for those men or
else be left out of consideration.
However, a man with 81, 500 annual
salary ought to be able to do the
country q more substantial service
than to beg for appointments for those
who "electioneered" for him. If this
rs all they are congressman for, then
let Aldrich, Cannon and Taft keep on
kicking them, insulting them and
weed outtheir supporters; they deserve
1t. The people should have no pity
4on them. A true representative of a
sovereign people should not need TO

The success of boycotting meat de.
ponds upon the same principle as that
pursued by the miser who tried to
teach his horse to live without eating,
only to have him die as soon as success
seemed about to have crowned the e1-
pertinent If a commonwealth can on
ly regulate the supply of its own
products by depriving itself of the ar
ticles desired, then it would seem to
be engaged in chasing itself around
the block. 1t it even succeeds in re-
ducing prices it will be because moth
ing is bought and as soon as the boy
colt is broken the temporary advan-
tage is lost. Yet, the news items from
all over the contry say that about 200,
900 people are chasing themselves
around the block as it were. We know
of better method of getting rid of
tyrants and which was most effectively
employed over a hundred years ago
by one George Washington, Franklin,
Henry and others. It appears, if the
records are correct, that those plucky
men didn't chase themselves, but
chasedthe other fellow, the oppressor,
and they chased the arrogant JohnBull
SO hard that they had everything to
themselves and their own way. But
alas-to suggest and offer such radical
means to gain yonr so called .inalien-
able rights" in this ossifed, petrifed
trnst-authority ridden age of ours is
denounced as anarchism while in the
good old days" OF George, Ben and
Patrick it was called heroism. To be
sure, nowadays boys don't cut down
cherry trees, but a number of them are

Now, will you have the courage to
chase these industrial thieves and
