1.-The County Chairman - in his let
ter on another page, touches on the
repeal of the law which required pur-
chasers of state lands to make certain
improvements on the same within five
years, and lntimates that the present
land laws inure to the advantage OF
spectators. Nothing to it. The fewer
restrictions placed upon the sale of
state lands the better. There is really
no grounds for criticism of the meth
DDS now in vogue of disposing OF
state lands, nor of the manner in
which the sales are conducted.

The Independent-Press does Speaker
Dunn an injustice. In point of ability
Mr.. Dunn was the peer of any man
who ever presided in the lower branch
OF the state legislature and no one
questions his fairness. See other
cause for the "ignominy'' than the
speaker.

Our special st. Paul correspondent,
Ralph" writes some hot stuff this
week. "Ralph" has inside sources of
information and ought to know where
of he writes. Evidently Governor
Eberhart's friends are beginning to
realize that he is not going to have
smooth sailing over the political sea
next year. The indications are that,
by-and-by, there will be "lovely fight
ing along the whole line"

We are rapidly growing@:into q
north and south Minnesota. This is
all wrong.-LeSueur News. '."., "..'
sectionalism is to be deplored, and
we agree with our LeSueur contem-
porary that it is all wrong. The rem
edy for sectionalism in this state is
simple-give to each and every county
in northern, central and southern
Minnesota equitable representation in
the law-making bodies of the state.
This. is right guaranteed by the
state constitutional constitution
made and adopted, largely, by
southern Minnesota people.
The Union stands for fair deal
for every section of the state, not
only in representation in the legis-
lature but in all other matters as we'll.
There is no excuse or justification
for failure to reapportion the state
since 1897. It ought to have been re-
apportioned in 1900. The pity of it is
that the gross inequality in represent
tation cannot be remedied before 1913,
there will be no extra
session-and should the wrong be
righted then it will be 1915 before
northern Minnesota will come into its
own.
No better illustration of the tyranny
of majorities can be given than the
denying to northern Minnesota the rep
resentation it is justly entitled to in
the law-making bodies. Men who
claim to be "progressives" and vo-
ciferously clamor for the initiative,
referendum and recall, and adopt as

the People Rule" with faced
effrontery say to the hardy settlers of
northern Minnesota, "wait until we
have partially disfranchised the
toilers in the large cities and then we
will give you the representation you
are fairly entitled to and which we
have SO long unjustly denied you"
These alleged "progressives" do
not practice what they preach. They
are willing the people should rule,
provided one vote in the First and
Third congressional districts counts
for two in St. Paul and Minneapolis
and in northern Minnesota.
If the constitution had imposed the
duty upon the supreme court Of re-
apportioning the Legislative districts

Wisconsin's superintendent of pub

teachers Of that state charges that the
state university is the spoiled child of
that commonwealth, and comes pretty
near being the whole works in Wis

in Minnesota who believe the criticism
of the Wisconsin superintendent will
apply with equal force to our own big

Barnesville is enthused because a
farmer living near there raised $50
bushels of potatoes to the acre. Not
a bad crop, to be sure, but it pales
into insignifcance beside the yield on
Bill Schmidt's land in the town of
Princeton-475 bushels to the acre.
Many farmers in this township raised
near unto 400 bushels to the acre.

In the Martin County Sentinel
several farmers advertise auction
sales of their live stock and farm ma

A handful of buccaneers of high

Nelson W. Aldrich, Senator Crane
and President Vail of the Western
Union Telegraph company, held a
conference recently at Lyndonville,
VT, to decide upon delegates to the

Brand Whitlock, who was elected
mayor of Toledo, Ohio, recently, has
filed with the board of elections a
certified statement that he did not
spend one cent for expenses during
his campaign. This is either another
proof that the corrupt practices act is
a farce or that Whitlock has rich
friends who "dug up'' for him.

OF the state on the basis of population

In attempting to score a point
against Representative L. b. Rice of
Park Rapids, who favors an extra
session of the legislature for the pur-
pose of enacting legislation recon-
mended by Speaker Dunn, the Long
Prairie Leader quotes the measures
mentioned by Mr.. Dunn and adds.
GAIL of this legislation was up- for
consideration at the regular session
and was beaten through the efforts Of
the corporation and brewery inter-
ests.''
With one exception each of the
measures mentioned by Mr.. Dunn
passed the house at the regular ses-
sion and were defeated, or we're not
acted upon, in the senate. The excep-
ton was the five per cent railroad
gross earnings tax, and Mr.. Rice
voted for that bill. As far as Mr..
Rice is concerned the Leaders, pun
gent criticism does not apply. We do
not wish to be understood, however,
as approving of some of the measures
that Speaker Dunn recommends. y:

looks though the trees had grown year much as
they grow in the north in two years.
We have carefully investigated the water conditions
We saw many flowing wells, that had Just come in
