ing public concurs in the opinion
that blare might have been justi-

agement, has come to be regarded
as a real hotel. 1t is said by the
visitors to Redwood Falls that moth
ing has done so much to advertise
the place favorably during the past
year as the management of the
hotel.
Not only is the transient patron
age large, but the residents Of the
city are constant and approving
patrons.
At present nearly all of the rooms
in the hotel are being redecorated
and things put in shape to go for
ward for another year and improve
upon the high standard set in the
past.

his fall.

Up the labors of my brothers, l would rather
boost them all.
would rather speak the kind things than the

In sort of two-step time
Than to let it drag in dirges in gloomy, heavy
style.
Iwould rather say God bless your

Than to preach about your follies all the while.
I'd rather be booster than knocker any day,
I'd rather praise than criticize in what have to

GOVERNOR HONORS PARTNER.
Widel Of Mankato IS Made Brigadier
General on fberhart's Staff.

John A. Johnson's military staff
has gone glimmering and Governor
Eberhart now has full fledged staff
of his own. The appointments were
made last week.
Gustaf Widell of Mankato will be
Inspector general with the rank of
brigadier general. General WidelI,
who is the governors business part
ner, was general on the staff when
Van SAINT was governor. but resigned
when John A. johnson was elected.
He succeeds Brigadier General E. l..
Welsh Of Minneapolis, who is re-
tanned on the staff as an aide.
c. H. Biorn of St. Paul is made
judge advocate on the new staff. He
succeeds John Dwan. who becomes
colonel and aide. Paul Doty of st.
Paul, formerly colonel, is promot-
ed to be brigadier general and quar-
termaster general, vice M. M. Gas
ser. Duluth, made colonel and aide.
w. G. Handy. appointed as major

quartermaster general. with the
rank of major. He succeeds Major
]. Uno Sebenius of Duluth who be-
comes colonel and aide.

looked bigger because Mr.. Arneson
kept books on his purchases and any
member could at any time find out
how things stood.
There were appointments that
crowded mighty close into the sine
cure class and helped swell the pay
roll. There were Investigations,
Red Wing and draining and DIR.
Bracken and former Insurance Com
missioner Harrigan and much TAX
ing of testimony at a big expense
and it was all charged up to the
people.
LEE Is DISCOUNTED
Mr.. Lee belongs to a disgruntled
faction. He is an extremely pleasant
gentleman but he is slightly bur-
dened with his life's responsibilities
and besides he carries forward the
fight started by his father.
In the last campaign he was licked.
There was no disgrace in that but
Rudolph did not show up as a good
loser. He attacked w. R. Mckenzie,
secretary of the Northern Minneso-
ia Development association, but
failed to make good on his charges.
There are few enough things to
praise in the history of the last leg
stature, but there are some things
and wholesale condemnation can do
no good, That's the spirit Of Mr..
Lees article. Mr.. Arneson sets
him right and there is reason to be-
lieve Arneson is nearer the truth
than Lee.

The dedial is directed at the Ru-
dolph Lee spasm Of criticism which
occupied three columns of head in a
recent edition of the Long Prairie
Leader.
Mr.. Arneson, who was chief clerk
of the recent House, doesn't deny
the jack knives, nor the scissors, but
he does deny a number of accusa-
tons made by Mr.. Lee. In order to
square things he publishes in his
paper, Grant County Review, full
list of all the things purchased for
the last House.
He calls attention to the fact that
a good many desks were bought last
winter, though the custom had been
to rent them, thus increasing the
expense for this session but reduc-
ing it for the future.

progressive gain in weight from the
amount of feed given. and at the
smallest proportionate outlay.
A system of minute observation
and recording has been adopted.
similar to that which, carried on for
fifteen years, enabled Prof. Hacker
at last to formulate table of ra-
tons for dairy cows, the systematic
use of which is today enabling dairy
men to secure far larger returns, in
milk and butter fat, from cows of
whatever breed, than was before
deemed practicable.
Commencing in 1907, a certain
number Of calves have been bought
each year, and fed from birth to
block" in such manner that the
effects Of different combinations of
feeds are made apparent. Every
mouthful of feed is carefully weigh
ed, and the proportion of each in
gredient in the days ration noted.
This work is to be carried on until
the observers shall know exactly
what and how it requires to produce
a certain gain in the period from
birth to any giyen...time in a steers
life. The element of chance will
thus be practically eliminated from
the stock-raising industry, so far as
the production of beef is concerned;
to eliminate it from the marketing
is another question! One thing is
already demonstrated: that the
cattleman who fattens his animals
from birth to block has much bet
ter chance for satisfactory returns
than he who sells half-grown feed
ers for some one else toi finish"
for marketing. The latter turns
over to the stock-yard men, to feed
ers and the railroads very large
share of the profits which might
have been his.

SATURDAY, MARCH 1911.
SENATOR sAILEVs DESIGNATION
WITHDRAWN.

The anndunce6ent of Senator
Bailey's withdrawal of his resignation
was not in Saturdays Eagle because
it was not sent to Governor Colquitt
until a few minutes before 6 o'clock,
which was after the paper was printed,
We do not share in the opinion of
a good many that in offering and with
drawing his resignation he was max
ing a grandstand play for the sake OF
spectacular effect 1t is our deliberate
conviction that he was sincere in both.
There are excellent reasons for believ-
ing that he would like to retire from
public life. In the legislative investi-
cation in 1907 he said that he had
been offered $4,000 a year by cor
poration to take charge of its legal
business and he sometimes wished he
had accepted it. He has disposed of
practically all his interests in Texas,
except his home in Gainesville. He
has gotten all the glory he can ever
hope to get out of politics. He is con-
fronted with hard fight for re-elec-
ton to the senate. BY his course in
the late session he has alienated him
self from the progressive democrats,
who are in a majority in both bracnhes
OF congress. This is evident from the
fact that of the eleven senators who
protested against his resignation all
were reactionaries. Senator Culberson
nor any of the Texas congressman
Joined in the protest.
There are widely different opinions
among both Senator Bailey's friends
and opponents as to the effect of the
incident on his political future. Some
think it will strengthen him, others
that the effect will be unfavorable. If,
as many of his friends say, he acted
hastily and in a fit of anger, it will
certainly iniure him; but if, as we
believe, he really desires to retire and
took advantage of circumstances which
offered a plausible excuse for so doing
and yielded his own wishes to crafty
mis- friends. the effect will not be to
his INJURY. Time will show whose is
the correct opinion.
