State Auditor VERSIONS plan to
have the state pay it's proportion of
the expense of constructing roads
through it's own lands would, if put in
operation, help out some in several of
the northern counties where immense
quantities of land is owned by the
state. Mr.. VERSIONS idea is that
lands on both sides of the road for a
distance of six miles should be as
sessed. That the state should make a
direct appropriation for the improve
ment of it's lands. Certainly the
building of roads would improve and
add to the selling value of the land
and the experiment is worth trying.

La Toilette is undoubtedly right in
his assertion that the recent victory
Of the insurgents in the house is a
hollow one. Anent the situation he
says in his magazines: "The ousting
of the speaker from the committee on
rules does not change the plan of
organization of the house at the be-
ginning of each congress or deprive
the speaker of his absolute power of
appointing, and hence packing, all
the standing committees on legisla-
tion. Cannon will not be a member
of the committee on rules, but the
system will be as potential on that
committee as though Cannon we're it's
chairman"

There are still a few doubling
Thomases, it seems, who question
whether the steel corporation will ever
erect a plant at Duluth. Their doubts
should, however, be set at rest by the
fact that a contract for $4,000, tons Of
Structural steel, to be used in the cree
tion of the plant, has been awarded to
the American Bridge company. I'm
like Minneapolis, Duluth does not
herald to the world the coming of big
factories, packing houses or other in
dustries until she is positive of a
realization.

Pickle Growers, Attention.

We are going to pay farmers more
money for pickles this year than ever
before, and farmers will have to do
only half the sorting that they have
done in the past. We will take the
small size a half inch longer than last
year and we will pay SO cents for the
large size. This will give growers a
chance to make a great deal more
money than ever before and does away
with the greater part of the sorting.
Call at once at the First National
bank and make your contract. Any,
thing you don't understand will be
explained there.

"Soulless corporation" is a term
applied generally to trusts, but there
are instances in which it is improper
ly applied, for all corporations are
not soulless-in fact some of them
manifest high degree of generosity.
Take, for example, the Oliver Mining
company. Last week this corporation
voluntarily increased the wages of it's
employees from to 10 per cent in con-
sequence of the growing increase of
the cost of living. Let us give the
devil his due even though he be a
trust. -4

The government bureau of statistics

The government bureau of statistics,
which has been figuring on the
reasons for the advance in the cost of
living, says that the consumption of
eight leading products, including
wheat, corn and cotton, has increased
more than 80 per cent per capita
during the last decade, while the in
crease in the aggregate quantity OF
farm products during the same period
was less than per cent per capita.
This brings forcibly to mind the claim
OF Jas. J. Hill that to growing ex.
travagance is largely due the high
cost of living. $ . as n

There is, if the daily papers may be

Roosevelt could not comply and that

! JOEL p. HEATWOLE.

- JOEL p. HElTWOLE.
It is with unfeigned sorrow that
the Union chronicles the death of
Hon. Joel P. Heatwole, which oc-
Cured suddenly at his home in North
field on Monday afternoon. Mr.. Heat
wole was sufferer from Bright's
disease for years and had been SER
riously i'll of late, but his death was
unexpected. He was sitting in chair
after dinner when the final summons
came.
Mr.. Heatwole was born in Indiana
in 1856. He came to Minnesota in
1882, and his first newspaper work in
this state was on the Lake Superior
News at Duluth; subsequently he was
connected with the Glencoe Enter
prise, and purchased the Mortified
News in 1884. He was secretary of the
republican state committee III 1868.
and chairman of that committee in
1890. He was defeated for congress
IN 1892 in the Third district, but was
elected in 1884, reelected in 1896, 1898
and 1900, each time by increased
majorities. He voluntarily retired
from congress at the close of his
fourth term. he represented his con-
stituents we'll and ably in congress,
and had perfected an organization in
his district that had not it's counter
part in this or any other state.
Mr.. Heatwole took an active part in
the organization of the lower branch
of the Minnesota legislature in 1903,
and despite fierce opposition landed
his candidate, the late L. W. Babcock,
in the speakers chair.
In the contest for the republican
nomination for governor in 1904 he
espoused the cause of r. G.. Dunn.
After bitter struggle Dunn was nom
mated. In the campaign which fol-
lowed, owing to an unfortunate COM
bination of circumstances circum-
stances over which Dunn had no con-
trol-Mr. Heatwole did not feel called
upon to exert himself in behalf of the
candidate he had labored so earnestly
to nominate.
Mr.. Heatwole was president of the
Minnesota Editorial association for
a term, and he enjoyed the proud dis
tinction of publishing the model coun-
try newspaper of the state-the North
field News. He was an able writer;
his paper had large general circula-
tion and welded powerful influence
throughout the state. He numbered
his friends by the thousands and,
naturally enough, man of his ag-
gressiveness and independence had
some enemies. He was always a fac
tor to be reckoned with in Minnesota
politics. He was a man who would
go to any length to serve his friends
and never attempted to conceal his
contempt for those he considered his
foes.
Had Mr.. Heatwole lived he might,
eventually, have reached the goal OF
his ambition-a seat in the United
States senate.
Like the rest of us poor mortals,
Joel P. Heatwole was not infallible.
He will long be remembered by his
friends as the genial companion and
resourceful politician who never knew
when he was whipped.

HON. THOMAS WILSON.

EHURSDAY, APRIL /:
ss HON. THOMAS WILSON.
6 Hon. Thomas Wilson is no more.
He was found dead in his rooms at
the Aberdeen hotel, ST. Paul, last
Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Wilson was born near Strabane,
county Tyrone, Ireland, May 16, 1927,
hence he was almost SO years of age at
the time of his death. He came to the
United States with his parents in 1927
and settled on a farm in VernangO
county, Pennsylvania. Here he re-
NAMED until he was 20, alternately
working on the farm and attending
the common schools of the neighbour
hood. He then entered Allegheny
college, from which he graduated in
1852. He was admitted to the bar in
1855. Came to Winona, Mimi, the
same year and practiced his pro-
fession. He was a member of the con-
vention that framed the state constitu-
ton. He was elected judge of the
Third judicial district in 1857, and
one year before his term expired, in
1863, was appointed by Gov. Miller
associate justice of the supreme court.
In 1864 he waselected chief justice of
the supreme court, and resigned July
IA, 1869, to resume the active practice
of law. Was member of the house
1891, and of the state senate 1883 5.
In 1881 he was the unanimous nominee
of his party (democratic) for United
States senator. He declined a unani-
nous nomination for congress in 1884.
He was again unanimously nominated
in 1886 and was elected by $500
majority in a district that was re-
publican by 5000. In 1883 he was de-
feated for congress by a small MAORI
ty. In 1890 he was the democratic
candidate for governor and change
of 1, 134 votes would have elected him
over VIM. r. Merriam. In 1892
Judge Wilson was appointed general
counsel for the Northwestern Railway
company, a position which he was
occupying at the time of bis death.
Four years ago Gov. johnson
appointed him member of the board
of regents of the state university.
Thomas Wilson was one of natures
noblemen. Born and brought up in
the rigid Presbyterian faith he was
entirely free from sectarian prejudice
not drop of bigoted blood coursed
through his veins. He was kind and
courteous to every one, especially so
to the young, many of whom profted
by his fatherly advice. Until recent
years he took an active part in affairs
political, as all good citizens should;
demagogism was foreign to his
nature; men of all shades of political
opinion esteemed and respected him.
He was one of those grand men who
laid strong and deep the foundations
of the commonwealth of Minnesota.
He fought the battle of life we'll and
| honorably and ever performed his
part. His labors are ended. He has
gone to his reward. His kind words
and deeds will live after him and long
keep bis memory green in our soul.
May the gentle dews of heaven
brighten with verdure the grave where
he sleeps.
