HIGH SCHOOL "TRIP .

The following members of the High
School Athletic Association went to
Brookville and Clarion last Friday
afternoon. Messrs. r. III. Edgar,
Eugene Metz, Gordan Vogt, Roy Swan
son, William Howard, Jr., and Oscar
Foster. During the trip two very
interesting games of basket ball
were played. Mr. Gordan Vogt was
captain of the team. At Brookville,
where the first stop was made the
game resulted in victory for Brook
vile, with a score of 81 to 81 Brook
vile has the fastest team in that sec
tion of the State and have only met
with one defeat this present season.
They played a very clean game and
showed the boys good time. On
Saturday morning the journey was
continued TO Ciarion, arriving there at
ten o'clock. During the day they in
spected the town and the Normal
and in the evening attended the Lii

called about nine O'Clock Saturday
evening and the first alffiuished with
a score of S to 7 in favor of Empor-
ium, at the end of the second half the
score stood IS to 10 in favor of Clarion.
Although the boys lost both games
they fought hard to win them and the
teams they visited were stronger than
they are. They expect to have return
games with both these teams in the
near future The Emporium boys left

A committee on personnel appointed
last March to investigate charges
against Dr.. Wiley, chief chemist of
the agricultural department and pure
food expert, has reported to President
Taft with a recommendation that
Wiley 'be permitted to resign" The
specific charge is that DR.. Wiley per-
mitted an arrangement to be made
with DR.. Rusby, pharmacognosist,
for compensation in excess of that
provided by law. Congress is max
ing an investigation Of the charges,
but whether Wiley will "be permitted
to resign' or not depends largely
upon the president, who is a great ad-
mirer of the doctor for the reason that
he h as accomplished so much public
good by bringing to justice manu-
facturers Of impure foodstuffs. The
president knows full we'll that it would
be a difficult matter to find man to
fill DR.. Wiley's shoes.

AS a bowling farce the Lorimer in
vestigation by the senate committee
surpasses anything in the history of
proceedings congressional. Thou
sands Of dollars have been squan-
dered in a pretended effort by the
senate committee to determine whether
Lorimer is or is not guilty of bribery,
when, as matter of fact, it has been
conclusively proven that he is one of
the blacklist corruptionists ever
elected to congressional money dis
tributed by his henchmen bought him
his seat in the senate. However, as
the senate is largely made up of rep
resentatives of the interests, it is
reasonable to suppose that Lorimer
will be permitted to hold his seat
that he will be declared guiltless OF
all charges brought against him.

Taking cognizance of the thousands
of petitions received, the Canadian
cabinet "graciously" commuted the
death sentence passed upon Mrs.
Angelina Neapolitano-the Italian
woman who killed her husband at
Sault Ste Marie-to life imprison-
ment. From the evidence introduced
at the trial it is difficult to see how a
jury could have conscientiously con-
victed the woman-the killing of her
brutal husband was obviously justi-
fable. Directed by him to enter a
life Of shame-to sell her very soul
that be may live in idleness-the
woman rebelled and struck the black
guard down. And where is there a
woman who would not? We scarcely
believe a jury could be found in the
United States that would convict
under the circumstances, but in
Canada the letter of the statute is
strictly adhered to,-it's an eye for
an eye and a tooth for a TOOTH there
is no unwritten law.

The destructive forest fires which
swept through northern Ontario and a
part of Michigan last week in which
400 lives were lost, many towns wiped
out and millions of feet of timber
destroyed, show conclusively that
better fire protection systems are
necessary in the province and state
affected. Such a deplorable sacri-
fee should hasten the authorities to
provide means for obviating recur-
renee of so dreadful calamity.

If a bill now pending in CT

If bill now pending in congress
becomes a law the campaign expenses
of representatives will be limited to
SIS, 900, and candidate for seat in
the American house of lords cannot
disburse over $40, 900 in getting there.
The bill also provides that promises
of political jobs by would-be senators
and representatives must be made
public, and, saddest of all, the bill
forbids candidates for the senate to
contribute financial assistance to
members Of a state legislature. If
that bill is ever permitted to grace the
federal statutes and its provisions are
enforced it will play havoc with an

There is a loud demand in some
quarters for an extraordinary session
Of the Legislature for the purpose of
enacting and submitting to the voters
a five per cent railroad gross earn
ings tax law. There is a possibility
that the supreme court of the United
States may reverse Judge Sanborn s
decision. Better await developments.
In any event, if it is advisable to
have an extra session, there is plenty
of time nine months or a year hence
for the legislature to act and submit
the proposition to the voters at the
biennial election in November, 1912.

RANK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

Otter Tail county has a peculiar
board of county commissioners. Last
winter the members of that board, in
their official capacity, adopted set
of resolutions requesting the ]egisla-
tive delegation from the county to
oppose good roads legislation and
vote for the abolition of the state
highway commission. A few days
ago delegation of leading citizens
of the county waited upon the board
and urged that state highways should
be designated in order that state aid
to the amount of $500 could be Sc
cured-the state highway commission
having apportioned that amount to
Otter Tail county. But the commits
sioners refused to act and gave no
Intelligent reason for their non action.
Prior to the enactment of chapter 33,
general laws of 1911, some boards of
county commissioners refused to &C
cept state aid because of the expense
entailed in making surveys, but under
the provisions of the chapter in ques-
tion the deputy state engineers do the
surveying and make the plans and
specifications without expense to the
county - the state foots the bills.
Furthermore, the deputy engineers
are required to make surveys and
plans for all town and county roads,
whenever requested so to do. without
expense to the town or county.
1t is passing strange that rich
and prosperous county like Otter Tail
with population Of a high degree
of intelligence should be cursed with
such non-progressive board of
county commissioners. The fifth
county Of the state in population and
the sixth in wealth should have a
board Of county commissioners CON-
posed of high-grade, wide-awake,
progressive men.

Medicine Hat is assuredly a pe-

forth icy blasts that Chill the marrow
bones and in the summer it's breath is
laden with sufficient torridity to wilt

countable reason, last week the
weather man at the Hat was badly
fooled. He manufactured a batch of
heat that he could not get rid of-the
country refused to accept it and he
was compelled to keep it at home.
Hence, the result was that every Sec

ANY CHUMP CAN KNOCK.

Don't criticise your neighbors' faults,
no matter what they do;
Don't ridicule the masses,
or malign the chosen few;
Don't think yourself censor of
the silly human flock
And just remember as you 20 that
any chump can knock.
Don't laugh at those who make
mistakes, or stumble by the way.
For you are apt to follow them
and almost any day.
Don't think the others shifting SAND
while you are solid rock:
And don't forget, for heavens sake,
that any chump can knock.
Don't be puller down of fame on
other men conferred:
Don't give parting kick to one
who erred because he erred.
Don't think that you are perfect and
the only size in stock
And now, once more, just bear in
mind, that any chump can knock.

and his pocketbook and given real
estate valued at 100000 to the school

Clark said: "Hoodlums run nine-

tenths is seemingly pretty high esti-
mate, it is fact that hoodlums run
some elections and that the cities, vii
lagos or towns affected suffer thereby.
Hoodlums are not, however, in the
majority in most communities and,
consequently, where they are permitted
to run elections it is usually the fault
of the nonhoodlums who fail to vote.

MCCALL rs NO DEMAGOGVE.

In speech delivered recently be-
fore the Ohio State Bar association
Congressman Mccall of Massa-
chusetts talked plainly on the initia-
tive and referendum and recall. He
said in part:
1.-The typical initiative and refer
endum speech presents as glowing a
prospect as can be found in the most
eloquent mining prospectus. It
usually proceeds upon the theory that,
however careless each one of US may
be, however lacking in definite and
close study, yet in our collective ca
paclty we are incapable of doing
wrong. One has to be very cautious
IN questioning the omnipotence of the
people IN our collective capacity.
But laws are pretty apt to be the fair
average OF the knowledge and study
shown in their preparation, whether
they are passed by an assembly of
4oo members or by 100000, 900 of
people.
"The referendum would afford a
ready means for the cowardly legisla-
tor to dodge instead of bravely vot-
ing against some bad and spurious
bill. He would dodge responsibility
by voting to pass it on to the supreme
court of appeal, the people. The re-
call of officers would tend to make
them constantly keep themselves in a
plausible and easily advertised posi-
tion. We should always have govern
ment by the politician and not by the
statesman.
1.-The recall of the judiciary would
subject our judges to the liability of
having to argue their decisions on ap-
peal before the people upon a pro-
ceeding to dismiss them from Office in
disgrace. The judge who desired to
continue upon the bench would more
diligently study the popular moods
than the source of the law"

in the Boer war, is opposed to un.
restricted immigration to South Afri.
ca. He takes the position that unre-

means cheap labor and pauperism.

are the only ones, be claims, who
would be benefited by large influx OF
European immigrants. Hertzog is
