WILSON LAuDs INITIATIVE.
Calls Recall and Referendum Remedy
for Bipartisan Deals.

Kansas City. May 6.-Governor
Woodrow Wilson Of New Jersey was
the guest Of the knife and Fork Club
at its banquet last night. He spoke
on t..o great political changes which
arc going on In the United States and
said the policy Of the progressive move
ment Is to place again in tho hands Of
the people their rights Of government.
Governor Wilson said the republican
party IL more closely allied with the
interests; than the democratic Darty
and that the latter party = more e
sym, thy With tbs nav tersdSnciess than
the republican party. Governor wlIson
is q democrat.
But the speaker aside from this ma
tura1 partisan reference, Viewed tho sit
uation in general along the broader
line.
In this connection he said ~
There Is the notorious operation Of
the bipartisan political machine:
mean the machine which does not rep
resent party principle Of any kind, but
which is willing to enter into any COM
bination, with whatever group Of per-
sons or Of politicians to control the
offices Of localities and Of states and
Of the nation itself in order to main
tain the power Of those who direct 1t.
among the remedies proposed In
recent years for this sinister condition
have been the initiative and referen-'
dun In the field Of legislation and the
recall in the field OF administration.
These measures are supposed to be
characteristic OF the most radical pro-
grams. and they are supposed to be
meant to change the character Of our
government. They have no such pur-
pose. Their intention is to restore, not
to destroy representative government.
"They are being proposed now as q
means Of bringing our representatives
back to the consciousness that what
they are bound in duty to do is to .ep-
resent the sovereign people whom they
profess to serve and not the private in
tercsts.
1.-THE recall Is means Of adminis-
trative control. If properly regulateh
end devised 1t is q means Of restoring
to administrative officials what the in-
itiative and referendum restore to leg

A careful examination Of the multi

ton of the same. In few states OF
this nation have there been more
favoring conditions in all lines of
activity than in Minnesota. Ma
terial prosperity in agriculture, in
commerce, in industrial pursuits,
has been attended by distinct
advances in practical education, in
development of resources, and in
moral uplift as applied to civic
affairs.
The spirit of fraternal helpful
ness, of consideration for the rights
of others, and of fairness and in
justice in all the relations of life
pervades the community to most
encouraging extent, and marks this
year of our Lord, 1911, as epochal
in the history of this growing
commonwealth.
Therefore, 1, Adolph O. Eber-
hart, governor of the state of Min
nesota, earnestly recommend that
all the people of Minnesota, observe
Thursday, Nov. 80, as day of
prayer and thanksgiving, in sincere
acknowledgement of the manifold
blessings vouchsafed by the Al
mighty during the past year.

Must Carry Lights


There is no way to avoid the
automobile law passed by the 1911
legislature. It is constitutional
and if followed to the letter will
require all vehicles which move on
public highways to carry lights at
night. Farmers must swing Ian
terms on their buggies and wagons;
automobiles must carry front and
rear lights, and technically speak
ing, even babby buggies will have
to be illumined. if the act is made

Short Seven Million

Shipments of iron ore from the
Mesaba and Vermilion ranges for
October, from the docks at Du-
luth, Superior and Two Harbors,
show a decrease for the month of
Isl, 1897 tons in comparison with
October year ago. Shipment for
the season to November / is 6,o58,
o65 tons behind last years figures
for fine same period.
The Duluth & Iron Range and
the Great Northern roads both
made small gains in October. At
the Duluth & Iron Range docks at
Two Harbors, 1928, $50 tons were
shipped during the month, as COM
pared with 964 ,629 tons in October,
1910. The September shipments
from this dock were $50, 482. At
the Great Northern docks at AL
louez, the Hill road shipped
1.360,o82 tons, as compared with
1,317,907 tons during the cor
responding month last year. The
September shipments from the AL
louez docks were l ISL. $3.50 tons.
At the Duluth, Missabe &
| Northern docks, a big falling off in
shipments is noted. both for the
month and for the season. During
October only 956,342 tons was
forwarded, as compared with l.
253,71O tons in October, 1910.
Up to date only 6,O4o, sos tons
have been shipped from the Missabe
docks. This makes poor show
ing along side of last years figure,
which UP to November 1, 1910,
was 10, 0S9, 1862 tons.
The 500 line, which opened its
ore dock in Superior this year, also
had poor month. Only 1902
tons were forwarded, as compared
with 1872 tons in September,
1911.

PAINTED In FIRST CENTURY
Wood Found by Prof. Flinders
Petrie In Egypt.

With the revived interest in art,
both ancient and modern, it is sur
prising that SO little attention has
been paid to the recent exhibition by
Prof. Flinders Petrie of some re-
markable color portraits which he
discovered in an Egyptian cemetery
at Fayoum. The cemetery dates
from about the first century and its
occupants were probably Romans.
The portraits which the professor
has discovered are painted on thin
cedar wood and were used as COW
ering over the face of each mummi-
fed body. Professor Petrie consid-
ers that these are probably the ear
LEST paintings know, and says that
many of the portraits are of such
individuality and strength as to
challenge comparison with the tech
mic and Imagination of modern art
lists. This is particularly remark
able from the fact that the basic
material of the paints is beeswax,
which must have been melted to re-
ceive the pigment, and then melted
again Immediately before use. The
colors have been found to consist OF
mineral ochre, and haematite, the
blacks and charcoal, and the pinks
and puppies are madden. It is in
teresting to note that several modern
artists have attempted to use bees.
wax in their pigments, but the re.
suits have been unsatisfactory, owing
to it's tendency to either harden toe
slowly, which causes the colors tt
run, or too quickly, causing the
| brush to become clouded.

ACCORDING to statistics just
prepared by Billy Sunday, former
baseball player and now an
evangelist, who quotes the average
cost of saving souls in the different
cities of the countries, every soul
saved in New York cost $545, in
Indianapolis $500, Chicago $395,
New Orleans $7S, Atlanta SIS and
in Boston $3.50. This is disputed
by Rev. Johnson of a Boston
church who figures it this way:
There is only one way by which
one can obtain the approximate
cost of saving a soul, and that is by
taking the cost to run the church
and dividing it by the number OF
apparent conversions made in a
year. 1t costs us $14, 900 and we
had 200 apparent conversions,
making cost of $40 per soul. !"

Potato Prize

While St. Louis County has
always been considered a prize
winner on iron ore, it remained
for this season and A. B. Hostetter
of the Duluth Commercial Club to
demonstrate to the world at large
that our county is also an agricul-
tural county. The exhibit of St.
Louis county potatoes which Mr..
Hostetter took to New York won
second prize for marketable late
potatoes, the first prize being taken
by a man from British Columbia
The winning of a second prize by
this county is a marked honor

that the potato producing centers
of the country were in competition.
