DR.. Wiley, the governments chief
chemist, advises people not to use ice
in their drinks, whether they imbibe
water, cold tea, mint julep, sherry
cobbler Or other liquids. "Cool your
drinks in the refrigerator, says the
doctor, "don't risk the disease germs
which Turk in ice." He contends that
the process Of freezing does not
destroy germs, that they merely hiber-
nate in ice, and when released are as
active as ever. And there are thous-
ands of people taking into their sys-
TENS every day millions of microbes
released from ice which has been cut
from polluted lakes and streams. DR..
Wiley's advice should be followed.

For years the Union has urged
that the Improvement of: rural high
ways would tend to make life more
endurable to the farmers boys. Her.
bert Mills, prominent Oskaloosa,
Iowa, farmer voiced the same senti-
ments to a Washington newspaper
man the other day when he said:
! Good roads in Iowa have been the
means in large measure of the great
prosperity of our farmers. They
have promoted social intercourse. and
have done more to keep the young
men and women at home than any.
thing else. For many years there has
been q discussion of the problem
of how to keep the farm bows from
going to the cities, and I am firm in
my belief that the building of good
roads will do more to accomplish this
than any other public Improvement. y

civil war veterans are being discussed
by G. A. r. men in Duluth, and it is
expected that the Minnesota delega-
ton to the next national encampment
will introduce a resolution advocat-
ing a pension bill to include the
wearers OF the grey. While this

for pensioning. the confederates-they

N. 3. Chapman, the poultry spe-
cialist of the state agricultural col
lege, says that 10 per cent of the eggs
marketed in Minnesota have passed
their usefulness. Then why don't the
state food inspectors attend to their
duties? There is a penalty of $50 pro-
vided by law for selling bad eggs and
it seems an easy matter to bring those
who violate the statute to Justice.
The inspectors are probably too busy
selling side lines to give attention to
little matter like rotten eggs. And
then, again, some of them would not
know bad egg when they saw one
unless they looked in a mirror.

An increase of the passenger rate
by Minnesota railroads will mean
that the gross earnings tax of these
roads will be increased from 4 to
per cent. The roads are making big
profits by carrying passengers for
two cents per mile, and the decision to
raise the fare to three cents is a clear
case of hoggishness. But it is within
the power of the people to get even
and they will take advantage Of it. 49,

Road engineering is at this time a
good profession for young engineers
leaving the universities, colleges and
technical schools to specialize in.
The profession of road engineer is al
ready an important one. but is certain
to become more so as the good roads
movement expands. That it will ex-
pand rapidly is a foregone con-
clusion, and hence road engineers
will be in great demand. Even now
there exists scarcity of experts in
this line. In the agricultural depart
ment at Washington there is a bureau
of public roads, and this bureau has
adopted the policy of giving instruc-
tion in road construction each year to
a number of graduate engineers. In
his last report Secretary Wilson says
of these students: Touring the first
year of their connection with the office
they are given a most thorough train
ing in all branches of the work and
in many cases are retained as Junior
highway engineers. The bureau is in
constant receipt of requests from
states, counties and townships to
recommend suitable young engineers
to take charge of road Improvement.
While the operations of the bureau
are Handicapped to certain extent by
this constant drain, the exact pur-
poses of this course of instruction are
thereby served in the highest degree.
If a greater number can be appointed
and trained each year, the result will
in time have very material bearing
upon the progress of road improve
ment.'

MERIT THE SOLE TON.

MERIT THE SOLE QUALIFICATION.
Under the caption of "Capitol Cos
sip" the St. Paul Dispatch asserts
that "Bob Dunn's notice that the
highway commission and politics
have been divorced arouses CON-
ment," and then adds:
"Some of the state officials are
wondering how Dunn got his informa-
ton that there was ever union be-
tween the state highway commission
and politics upon which he predicates
his notice of a divorce. No one at
the state house has ever suspected
that such union existed until Mr..
Dunn, who is one of the hardest
workers for good roads in Minnesota,
chronicled the divorce.''
No one ever suspected that such a
union existed save a few irrepressible
newspaper writer's. The general i'm
preston exists that the appointees of
all state departments are more or less
POLITICAL, and to combat that i'm
preston the mon wishes it dis
tinctly understood that the appointees
of the highway commission are an ex-
ception to the rule-they are ap-
pointed solely on their merits. While
we have no particular admiration for
Governor Eberhart to his credit be it
said he has steadfastly refused to
urge the appointment of any indi-
vidual to a position under the high
way commission on political grounds,
although he has been frequently i'm
portuned to use his influence in that
direction.

Sll1yAuS fuDl1C OHClal8,
s One of the most offensive practices
of modren times is that of attemptin g
to discredit public officials by charges
of venality and graft; the assumption
that all men in public life are striving
solely for wealth, and are controlled
by money considerations. Those
guilty of this action ought to under
stand its injustice, and the evil effect
such reckless charges have upon the
rising generation, whose minds are
poisoned by these false accusations,
and whose political life will thereby
be naturally forced to lower plane.
