~ J. s. PATTERSON

New York, April 29.-This years
annual long distance endurance run
generally referred to as the Glidden
Tour-will be more comprehensive
event than ever before judging by in
formation received from David Bee
croft, who will officiate as referee.
According to Chairman Samuel But
Ter of the contest committee, from
whom the communication was receiv-
ed, the tour will start June 10 from
Washington, d. c., and end June Is, at
Ottawa, Canada. AS both of these
dates fall on Monday it is presumed
that Sunday will be spent at Montreal,
as Canada has little patience with
Sunday motoring. In fact, sutomobil-
es are not allowed on the roads at all
on Sunday in Nova Scotia.
The Sunday break in the run will
be welcomed by all drivers whose cars
have a perfect score on Saturday

penalized drivers, who will be anxious

Then too there are the children who

PEDESTRIANS ARE
OFTEN CARELESS
Those Who Almost Never
Look Before They Step
Are the Majority.

The man who drives an automobile
often is blamed because he loses his
temper with those who merely walk.
but it is certain that pedestrians are
careless and even reckless about the
way they travel the streets Those
who complain Of the discordant type
of alarm signal used by motorists can
not imagine how necessary this is.
The day has passed that the pedes-
trian pays any attention to the ordin-
airy "honk honk"
1t may be that out of town in dis.
tricts where the automobile is rarer
folks who use the roads look where
they are going and pay some attention
when they hear a horn. But by this
time there appears to be something
soft and wooing about the ordinary
rubber tooter that some motorists use
in the city, for those who walk pay
very little attention.
The stock answer to the complaints
Of the motorists is that they don't own
the streets and they use them only by
courtesy of the pedestrians. And per
haps that is all true. But there isn't
any good reason why the pedestrian
should throw the burden of looking
out for both of them on the motorist
The thing is too that the PEDESTRIAN

Civic Celebration at MINNEAPOLIS.

Although the Fourth of July is in
cluded in the Minneapolis civic cele-
bration, July 2 to s, the event is more
comprehensive and noteworthy than
the term implies. Several of the
features are in themselves of sufficient
scope to be undertakings which singly
would be considered big affairs.
There is to be an Industrial parade
which will reflect the commercial and
business enterprise of the northwest:
a historic pageant, undertaken on
more elaborate scale than ever before
in any city in the country: a water
fete, III which it is proposed to care
fully reproduce in nearly full size
such ancient craft as the ship of
Columbus, the Mayfower, Cleopatra IS
barge, Greek galley, Roman tri-
RENE, etc. The entire national guard
of the state is to be modified for two
days and is to appear in a mammoth
military parade on the Fourth of July.
Many other features, including cir
Gus and menagerie, are down on the
program.

Lady Decies,-nee Vivien Gould

Lady Decies, Vivien Could
who recently had her appendix ex-
tracted by the most approved method,
is worrying for fear she will not be
able to show off her inery at King
Georges coronation. It would be a
blow indeed we're she compelled to re-
main at home upon this auspicious
occasion, when thousands of he and
she snobs will be graciously permitted
to lick the hem of the royal robes.
And then, again, it will in all proba-
bility be the last opportunity she will
have of attending an English corona
ton ceremony. Here's hoping tina
she may at least recover so far as to
be able to sit up in bed and watch the
pageant pass her house.

Cattle Feeding,

"Cattle-feeding is not a hazardous
business, provided it is done intelli-
gently and conservatively. The man
who feeds what be has raised on his
own place, carefully husbands the
manure and puts it back onto the
land, is the man who will buy his
neighbours farm in the future; while
the man who hauls all he raises to
the elevator is the man who sooner or
later will sell his farm. 1 fully re-
alize that all farmers cannot feed beef
cattle, nor is it necessary that they
should; but do believe that every
farmer should handle stock of some
kind, grow clover, and so treat bis
land as to increase rather than to de-
crease it's fertility. Cattle-feeding is
merely one way of doing this; dairy
ing is another; sheep-raising an
other; and growing clover and plow-
ing it under still another. "-Capt.

CHRONIC KNOCKERS.

Forty districts resulting from the
passage of the Dunn good roads bill,
entailed the appointment of bunch
of ''road engineers" That makes
nice, fat political plum picking for
somebody. Wonder if Bob had any
thing to say about the appointments?
Sank Centre Herald.
No, you chronic knocker; Bob has
not had anything to say about the
appointments, nor would he recon-
mend the best friend he had on earth
for a position under the highway COM
mission unless he knew that friend
was qualified to perform the duties
that would devolve upon him. Part
OF paragraph Q, section IL of chap. %
general laws of 1911 reads: Gail per-
sons appointed or employed by the
highway commission shall be ap-
pointed solely on their merits and
qualifications, and shall not be re-
moved except for cause.'' These
words mean something to the highway
commission although they may be
meaningless to a hungry editor whose
hands palms uppermost-are extend
ed most of the time.

The Summer School.

A summer training school will be
held this year in Milaca in joint
session with Mile Laos and Kanabec
counties. A strong faculty has been
assigned, consisting of three men and
two ladies, all college graduates.
All subjects pertaining to first
grade certificates will be taught. It
is the purpose of the county superin-
tendent and the faculty to make this
one of the best summer schools held
this year in this state. Agriculture
will be taught, sewing, model school
work, civics, music, algebra,
physics, and all the common branches;
in fact anything and everything that
pertains to our school work will be on
the program. Some teachers are
planning to attend summer schools
elsewhere. Why this should be is a
mystery. Everything will be given
here as desired, and by just as CON-
petent men and women as can be
found anywhere in the state. You
will practically be at homo and, when
it comes to getting a position, you
will find yourselvs right in touch with
the school boards of your counties.
Board rates and room rent are as
cheap in Milaca as in any place in
Minnesota. 1t is a strong point in
favor of our home school that the best
possible instruction and the least ex-
pense are here combined.
Another feature is the fact that
those attending here have the advan-
tage of coming more closely in touch
with the faculty. Afternoon aid will
be cheerfully extended to anyone who
may desire it. Examinations, at the
close of the term, as usual, will be
given. Those passing IS per cent or
over have permanent marks in SUBJ
jects thus taken, and these marks will
never be called in question as long as
the teaching profession is followed.
Think it over, consider all things.
and make up your minds to attend the
home training school.

LET THE BO4RN INTESTIG ATE.

In brief but digni6ed note Chief
Justice Start informed Governor
Eberhart that the supreme court could
not comply with his request to ap-
point commission to take testimony
and submit findings in the Red Wing
school imbroglio. The chief Justice
said: "We have no jurisdiction of
the matter as court, and if we should
consent to act as arbitrators it would
establish an undesirable precedent
which would embarrass.: the court and
directly tend to impair confidence in
it,. >We~are, therefore, constrained by
our views of judicial duty and pro-
priety to decline to comply" ~'
The governor would do we'll to keen
hts hands of and let the state board
of control conduct the investigation,
if charges are. preferred against su-
perintendent Whittier. We believe
that full and impartial investigation
would conclusively establish the fact
that the Red Wing institution has in
the main been we'll conducted. If the
evidence proves that the school has
been improperly managed and that
the superintendent is blamable the
board will not hesitate to take. the
proper steps: We have faith in the

and there will be delegates from Wis
consin, Michigan and other states in
attendance. Many topics of impor-
lance to the general public will be dis
cussed, including state development,
development of state lands, conserva-
ton OF soil fertility, land show in St.

government.
Bishop McGolrick of Duluth, one
OF the greatest authorities known on
colonization matters, and Prof. Whit
son, an eminent soil expert of the uni
versity of Wisconsin, will be among
the speakers. Farmers will find Prof
Whitson s address we'll worth listening
to. W. J. Brown of Warren will
speak on drainage problems and G.
G. Hartley of Duluth will also address
the meetings.
The people Of Duluth are noted for
their hospitality to visitors and they
will do all that is possible to make it
pleasant for the delegations. There
| are some good hotels in Duluth where
accommodations may be obtained at
reasonable rates.
The counties included in the North

however-they can see for themselves
that the outlook is favorable to a

lance it is impossible for any one to

RATHER INCONSISTENCY.

It seems little inconsistent on the
part of some of the newspapers to IN
sparingly denounce the work Of the
recent legislature and at the same time
lavish compliments on Lieutenant
Governor Gordon. It is claimed by
the friends of the lieutenant governor
that he organized the senate and
turned down the "old gang" and the
claim is true. That being the case
then Mr.. Gordon is, in a great
measure, responsible for the work of
the senate-for it's sins of omission
and commission. He cannot wholly
escape responsibility for the defeat of
reapportionmenta and the passage of
the seven.senators law; he must
shoulder his share of the blame for
the failure of the senate to pass the
federal income tax amendment after
that measure had passed the house
unanimously; the roadhouse license
bill, the eastman distance tariff bill
and other measures passed the house
but failed of passage in the senate.
On the other hand not a single
measure of statewide Importance that
passed the senate failed of passage in
the house. Speaker Dunn has been
severely criticized for the failure of
certain measures to pass the house,
but no word of censure is visited upon
the lieutenant governor for the failure
of any measure to pass the senate.
Why find fault with the house organi-
cation and compliment the senate or
ganization? Mr.. Gordon made
good presiding officer, but we fail to
see, if he is to be judged by the results
obtained in the body over which he
presided, wherein he is entitled to any
particular credit. Certainly, Mr..
Gordon had a majority of the senator's
behind him or he never would have
been permitted to organize that body;
then, We repeat, he cannot escape his
share of the responsibility for the
work done or left undone by the
senate.
This article is not written in any
fault-fnding spirit. The Union
supported Mr.. Gordon, both before
and after the republican state conven-
ton, for lieutenant governor, and
has no regrets on that score. But We
wish to call attention to the inconsis-
tency of some of his friends. Mr..
Gordon presided over tho delibera-
tions of the senate gracefully, per-
formed the routine duties of his posi-
ton in perfunctory manner and pur-
sued policy of mastery Inactivity
throughout the entire session.
