THE STATE FAIR SQUABBlE.

Without saying it in so many
words, persons who have done little
investigating of the methods used for
the Minnesota State Fair intimate
that funds used in carrying on the
institution are juggled entirely too
freely for the good of all, or nearly
all, concerned.
AS a result there is to be COM
plete reorganization ordered by the
legislature and the Fair association
will be PLACID upon strictly bust
ness basis and will be in every sense
a state organization.
For 10; these many years, the
newspapers of the state have been
crying out against reckless extrav-
agance and have cried Justify for re-
form. These appeals have borne
some fruit but it remains for the pre-
sent glazing inaccuries in the fin
ancial accounting to bring the true
force of the State Fair evil to the
notice of the legislature, the direct
result of the governors board of
audit.
Incidently, the State Fair manag-
ars are making a special bid for the
friendship of the newspapers of the
northwest, thing that has largely
been lacking for a long time. Dur
ing the last fair, shabby treatment
of reporters caused the big Twin
City papers to curtail their space
for fair news, which was not very
good advertisement for the fair as
ISOLATION. Now the fair manage
ment courts favor by inviting news
paper men to attend a banquet and
express opinions as to the best way
to handle the fair.
One thing appears certain: radical
changes are to be made. If the fair
remains under the control of the pre-
sent management it will only be
under promise of reforms in many
departments. However, it appears
quite likely that the actual control
of the big show will be vested by the
legislature in the state board of con-
troll.
The awakening was tardy, but
now that it has come it ought to
mean a good deal to the citizens of
Minnesota who, through the legis-
lature, have appropriated thousands
of dollars for the carrying on of the
exhibition.

A TRAGIC WARNING.

During the past few days the tele-
graph wires have flashed the follow
ing item throughout the country.
Memphis, Tenn.-As a result of
his impertinence toward pass
engers on an inbound Frisco
train, Jim Durham, negro por-
ter, was beaten to death. The
negro made some impudent re-
plies to passengers whose names
cannot be ascertained and they
beat him about the head and
body until he was unconscious.
Travellers who have had much to
do with negro porters are not sur
prised that Jim Durham was beaten
to death and while most folks will be
humane enough to admit that CAPT.
tai punishment is extreme, there viii
be no general regret over the death
of the African, which should stan(
as a warning to the colOred men.
A white man dosen't care to suffel
impudence at the hands of anyone
and much less from a negro. Never
theless, it is not unusual to have tn

1t is not an infrequent complaint
of passengers out of Bemidji that the

to their credit, there are porters on

Appellate Court Gives Automobile
Combine Hard Blow.
New York, Jan. 1.-THE United
States circuit court of appeals re-.
versed the decision of Judge Hough
rendered in September, 1909, when he
upheld the validity of the Selden auto.
mobile patent.
This patent is on the basic prin.
ciple of the application of power to
motor vehicles and the decision is far.
reaching in it's effects
The Selden patent seeks to control
the manufacture of virtually all gaso-
line automobiles in America. Many
of the manufacturing companies hold
licenses under that patent; but there
are many others which operate indie
pendently and in defiance of the pat
ent. Under the ruling the ground for
contest between the licensed and un-
licensed dealers is removed unless the
scope of the Selden patent is changed
by subsequent ruling of the United
States supreme court. ~...

PLEDGED AID TO ENGLAND

Chief Executive, in Letter to seere.
tary of the Navy Meyer Directing
the Reprmand, Says the comman-
der's Offense Was So Conspicuous
That the Departments Reproof
Should Be Equally So.
Washington, Jan. 11.-President
Taft has decided that Commander W.
S. Sims, the United States naval Off
Ger who, at recent dinner given in
London by the mayor of that city, de.
clared that if Great Britain ever was
seriously threatened she could depend
on every man, every dollar, every
drop of blood" in this country, should
be publicly reprimanded.
His offense has been so conspic
uous,'' said the president in his letter
to Secretary of the Navy Meyer, di.
recting the reprimand, that the &C.
ton of the department in reproving it
should be equally So
The president says that whenever
an officer of the American navy "is
called upon in a foreign country to
speak in public, so that what he says
will necessarily be brought to the at.
tention of the people of other foreign
countries, it is his obvious duty to
avoid invidious comparisons and to
limit his speech and his expressions of
friendship for the country whose guest
he is to language that will not indicate
lack of friendship toward other coun-
tries.
"The navy is used much as an in.
strument of peace. One of the chief
functions that it's officers perform
when they visit foreign ports is the
representative one of conveying to all
nations the good will of the United
States. They are under special obliga-
tons to see to it that what they do or
shall say shall not embarrass their
government in foreign nations"
Commander Sims cannot escape
censure, the president holds, ION the
ground that what he said was mere
expression of his personal opinion; un-
der the circumstances he must speak
as an official representative and he
should have known that the words he
used would at once call for severe
comment in other countries than Great
Britain and might involve this gov
eminent in explanations and disclaim.

Washington, Jan. lin an ex-

Senator Coe I. Crawford of South Da-

employed by agents of Senator Will

nois and declared it his conviction
that Mr.. Lorimer was not entitled to
retain his seat in the upper branch of

More than usual interest attached
to the speech, because Mr.. Crawford
took stand directly opposite to that
occupied by his colleague, Mr.. Gam
BILE. In the face of Mr.. Lorimer's re-
peated protestations of innocence
Senator Crawford fatty charged that
Lorimer was cognizant of the ques-
tionable practices of his lieutenants.
Il regret to say it," declared Mr..
Crawford, ''but l am personally con-
WINGED that Mr.. Lorimer knew enough
about what was going on at Spring

upon inquiry; that Shurtleff and

that he ratified their acts and accept
ed the fruits of their corrupt prac-
tees, of which he must at least have
had some knoWledge-and that he was
not legally and duly elected to seat
in the senate of the United States by
the legislature of Illinois,"
Senator Crawford began by review
ing the testimony taken by the senate
subcommittee of the committee on
privileges and elections, which was
instructed to inquire into charges
against Mr.. Lorimer. His study of
the testimony, he said, had forced him,
reluctantly, to arrive at conclusion

The evidence, in his opinion, showed

election Of Edward Shurtleff, whom he
described as "bitter enemy of Sen
ator Hopkins and political bench
man of Mr.. Lorimer," to be speaker of
the legislature and Lee O'Neil Browne
to be the leader of the minority.
"A game was being Played said
