. In a speech at Chicago recently Jas.
j. Hill strongly criticised the liter
allure sent out by the government agri-
cultural department to- the farmers.
The language in which the bulletins
are; couehed, said he, is so technical
and abstruse that it cannot be readily
understood by the farmer. He does
not mean by this that the farmer lacks
intelligence but that the bulletins
should be couched in more simple
language. Mr.. Hill speaks the truth.
There are altogether too many scienti-
fic names used in the bulIetins-names
that man not we'll ,versed in Latin
cannot understands. ~, ~: -. l.: $. =

No one is surprised when man
dies from excessive whiskey drinking
but it is seldom that death is at.
tributed to excessive coffee drinking.
DR.. Lindley of Los Angeles, however,
says that the imbibation of large
quantities of coffee caused the death
of Mrs. Glendenning- had taken
so much caffeine into her system that
she was a nervous wreck. In all
probability hundreds of other people
die from like cause. Toxologists
tell us that caffeine is stronger
poison than alcohol.

HE SHOULD HAVE NO OPPOSITION.
It is intimated that Justice George
L. Bum of the state supreme court
may not be nominated or indorsed by
the republican state convention, br.
that a straight out>republican may be
nominated in his stead. Mr.. Bum
was appointed by Governor Clough
to the second district ramsey
county, bench to succeed Judge Chas.
D. Kerr in 1897. Governor Clough
was severely criticised for appointing
him. But Judge Bum made such an
excellent record that he was elected to
the position, practically without op-
position, in 1898, and reelected in 1904
and 1910. 1t is generally conceded
that no ADLER jurist has ever graced
the Ramsey county bench. Judge
Bum was appointed by Governor
Eberhart to the supreme court bench
to succeed Justice Jaggard.
Justice Bum is personally unknown
to the writer, but we do know that in
Ramsey county he is held in high
esteem by men of all political parties
and that his record as a judge is un-
assailable. He should be nominated
by the republican state convention
without opposition, and whether he is
or not the Uni o n will favor his elec-
ton. 81 ia ..i,*,.% ) To-: ..

A hard luck story comes from
Crookston, in the territory contiguous
to which, says the Duluth Herald,
thousands of bushels of potatoes have
been frozen in the fields. The farmers,
however, have no one but themselves to

of good weather-in which to dig and
store their potatoes before the freeze
came, and they are fully aware of the
uncertainty of Minnesota fall weather.

We have never been an intense ad.
mirer of President Taft. We believe
the Payne-Aldrich tariff measure ia
an abomination and that the president
ought not to have sanctioned it. That
he has appointed some men to i'm
portant positions who have not re-
flected credit upon his administration
is also generally admitted even by
his staunchest supporters. But the
president is only man-to err is
human. He has made mistakes and
he has rectifed his mistakes as fast
as opportunity offered. He is a big,
broad-gauge man; he has the courage
of his convictions; he has the best
interests of the country at heart; he
does what he believes to be right:
there is not an iota of demagogism in
his makeup; he is intensely patriotic
and an American from the ground up:
his integrity and sincerity of purpose
is beyond question, and he is withal a
man of much experience and great
abilities. His NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in
administering the affairs of his great
Office and in the discharge of the
duties imposed upon him by the con-
stitution has earned for him the en-
nifty of constituencies demagogues
and arrogant captains of Ugh finance.
But the plain common people are be-
ginning to find out the manner of man
he is, and they love him for the ene-
mics he has made. In this connection
the following extract from an extreme
~ sensible editorial in the Duluth
News-Tribune is apropos:
"That the president has been
earnestly trying to enforce the laws
and at the same time, in the interest of
all the people, build up constructive
and not destructive policy; that he
has been condemned by those upon
whom the hand of the government has
fallen; that the constitution which the
president has sworn to support pro-
vides for a representative govern
ment, and not for one framing laws
on election day, volume at time;
that IN the line of controlling big
business and preventing violations of
the law his administration has done
more than all other previous admins
trations, and yet done it with judicial
temper; that the president has taken
the whole people frankly into his con-
idence in every detail; that he has
not hesitated boldly to declare what
he believes to be right in the very
strongholds of the opposite view; that
he has not ordered his conduct as
president in the interest of his own
advantage, all count for nothing with
Incorporate or disgruntled insurgents,
who bitterly condemn him for, in fact,
honestly endeavoring to be president
of all of the people and to maintain
and preserve constitutional govern
ment."

young man giving the name OF
l.. A. Eldredge, and DeKalb, H., as
his home, was locked up today on
suspicion that he had designs on a
large tent that did service during the
chautauqua and carnival the last two
weeks in sheltering the Hamburger
steak stand.
The tent is a large one, about IL
by 20 feet, and was the property of
Mrs. J. H. Jaeger, 1908 South Front
street. until she recently sold it to
George Ring of Blue Earth. It's value
is about $50.
Eldredge and his partner, Theo-
dore Lewis, also Of DeKalb, rented
the tent of Mrs. Jaeger two weeks
ago for the balance of the week, say
ing they wished to use it at the
chautauqua for refreshment stand.
The tent had in the meantime been
offered for sale to Mr.. Ring, and on
the following Friday he called Mrs.
Jaeger up and told her that he would
cake the tent. She told him that it
was rented for the week, and it was
arranged that it should be shipped
the following Monday.
Permission to Keep Tent.
Eldredge and Lewis, learning of
the sale of the tent, asked whether
they could keep it during carnival
week if Mr.. Ring gave permission,
and Mrs. Jaeger told them that they
could. Later, the young men in
formed her that they had called up
Ring and that they had arranged
-, tho fayo ay.
week. They were to ship it to Mr.
Ring after that, and she says that
they told her that they did ship it,
but she learned today that they had
not done so, but that the tent had
been packed and was at the union
depot ready to be shipped to Web
ster City, Iowa. Mrs. Jaeger called
up Mr.. Ring and learned from him
that when the young men called him
up and asked him for the tent an
other week he told them that they
could not have it, but they represent
ed to him that Mrs. Jaeger had rent
ed it to them for two weeks, and he
agreed with that understanding.
Officer Simmonds and Deputy Sher-
if Ed. Ario were brought into the
case, and went to the depot to get
Eldredge, but the latter fed on their
approach and ran down the yards.
One officer took one side of the
track and the other the other, and
they finally found the young man
coming back and trying to board a
freight train that leaves soon after
ten o'clock. They locked him up.
Says 1t Is Mistake.
When seen at the lookup by a.
Free Press reporter, Eldredge said
that the whole thing was a mistake.
His partner, Lewis, had telephoned
to Mr.. Ring, and had made the ar
whereby they could keep
the tent another week. Lewis had
gone with the carnival to Redwing, |
while he, himself, had planned to go
to Webster City, where there is anoth- |

bought a cane rack for $25, and was
going to see what he could make at
