HE TRIES GARDENING
Great Northern Man Takes Z
Whiri at BuCOIiC Pursuits
and Likes it

II set out about fifteen straight
rows of onions yesterday
''Where?"
.'Out at Hoboken. If you don't be-
lieye it, just walk out there and count
the rows; and if they're not straight
then there's something the matter
with your eye. :"
The speaker was quite emphatic
about it, too. He spoke like man
who had the courage of his convic-
tions and didn't care who knew it.
Asked if he wasn't sure about the ex-
act number of rows he planted, he re-
piled that he hadn't counted 'em but
the public was at liberty to stroll out
that way and keep tab. He said he
put the number at "about fifteen, it
might be more or less, but that the
rows were straight, anyway.
He's been living up Hoboken way a
little while He's enamored of bu-
collie life; he didn't say SO in just
those words, but that was the in
ference.
The speaker was Major c.. II. Child,
the capable and popular assistant of
General Jas. A. Norris at the Great
Northern station.

cheered and waved handerchiefs and
yelled itself hoarse for ten minutes.
Escorted by w. l. Nolan, chairman
of the House committee, and the gov
ernor of Minnesota, he advanced to
the speakers rostrum and was given
the speakers chair, the governor sit
ting on his left. Mr.. Nolan made a
hit when he introduced the popular
guest, especially when he said that it
took the courage of lion hunter to
address the Minnesota legislature.
Teddy" grinned and the crowd
cheered, and then he rose to speak,
and was cheered again.
He talked to the legislature and
gave them good advice. He argued
for the popular election of senators
and of president. for the primary
election law and for the initiative,
referendum and the recall, and for
the conservation of the states re-
sources. This lasted about an hour.
Then he devoted ten minutes to the
plain people. during which he urged
them to talk less about their rights
and to think more of their duties. 1t
appealed to the highest patriotism
and every schoolboy in the land should
have heard it.
THO remarks during the speech
were especially Rooseve1tian. While
arguing for the popular election Of
senators Mr.. Roosevelt referred to
the deadlocks in legislatures, mem
tionihg several states by name. He
said: s.In Illinois they elected sem
ator though the result was not a
happy one; and the q. S. Senate is
now trying to disinfect ITSELF" Then
the crowd yelled.
Again, in urging. the people to do
their duty, he said laws were OF no
use unless backed up by the people,
just as a good rifle is useless unless
THERE'S a good man behind it. Then
he exclaimed: II know men whom,
if a magazine rifle were put in their
hands / could beat them in minute
with club And the crowd yelled
again, for it knew that TEDDY"
could deliver the goods.

Municipal Fathers Hold an Ad-
journcd Meeting
GET AFTER FIRE SALES
Pass Stringent Ordinance Relative
to Transient Merchants Doing
Business Here

At an adjourned meeting Wednes-
day evening the city council passed
an ordinance providing for license
fee of 100000 q year for transient
merchants" the whole of that sum
to be paid before said firm is permit
ted to do business. This is in addi-
tion to fee of $4,000 year to be
paid the county, as provided for in a
low passed by the 1911 legislature.
This law is stringent in its provisions
and requires such merchants to file
with the county auditor in each
county in which it proposes to dc
business, certain affidayits relative to
its stock of goods and its intentions.
The council also renewed, for a
period of five years. its contract with
the Central Minnesota Power & Mill
ing Company for light, water and
power. S. T. Merryman, manager of
the Milling Company, asked this re-
newal on the ground that he had
closed five year contract for furnish
ing light and power to the state for
the Minnesota Home for Girls. 1t
was also intimated that this contract
might result in the company furnish
ing day power for any who desired it,
though that was in the future.
The bonds of city officials were pre-
sented and approved. NJ. J. Cleye-
land was elected city engineer and in
structed to proceed Immediately with
locating new grade for North Main
Street and also with locating the
pole line for power for the state in
stitution.

A little girl wrote a composition on
Men: ssMen are what women marry.
They drink and smoke and swear, but
don't go to church Perhaps if they
wore bonnets they would. They are
more logical than women and also
more geological. Both men and wo-
men sprung from monkeys, but the
women sprung farther than the men. 2

and reelection" Now |,
ID happens that the league which
Mr.. Shotwell was made 10 appear as |
speaking for, is strong against
Taft instead Of being for him. When
the officials Of the Nebraska orgaui-
zation heard Of Shotwell's statement
they promptly passed resolutions
repud .ating IL. and wired them 70
Washington. The fact is the real
progressive republicans stand IS
unit against Taft's denomination.
and every indication Is that ifhe Sc
cures the nomination again they
will permit him 70 60 down in de-
feat. Then they will make an at
tempt TO reorganize the republican
party.
PRoGREssTvEs LOSE GROUNDS.
When 10 in too late some Of the Re-
publican insurgents in the United
States senate who are opposing re-
ciprocity may learn that they are
committing one OF those huge politi-
cal bluuders that have been describ-
cd as worse than crimes.
REAL REVISION Downward.
The wool bill. passed by the Dem
ocratic House but not acted upon as
yet in the Republican senate. re-
duces the tax on cloth out OF which
the poor mans clothing is made,
from 160 per cent TO from Is TO 10
per cent; on women's dress goods
from $50 per cent TO from 80 to As
per cent. on blankets from 16O per
cent TO 80 per cent.
| FACTS ABOUT STKKL TRUST.
The restriction OF competition,
which is In violation Of the law, was
the prime object Of the organizers Of
the United States Steel corpora
tion, according TO information
which has recently come TO light in
Washington. When formed, the
steel trust had property valued at
$685., ,OOO. 900 But IL was capitaliz-
cd at o.. .4O2. 600, 900. OF the capital
stock, $72O. 600. 900. or more than
half, was water. Three partners OF
J. p. Morgan advanced $28, 900. .0OD
TO finance the trust aud received stock
worth $50. 500. 900. The average
rate Of profit from 1901 to 1910 on
the corporation g actual Investment
was IL per cent. Although this
combine is In existence in plain
violation Of the law, the Taft admin
istration refused to prosecute it.
The Taft administration, however,
co-operated with the steel trust by
giving secrets OF our battleships to
foreign nations with the under
standing that in exchange for these
secrets the countries thus favored
would give substantial contract to
the steel trust. The man who per-
mitted the exchange of vital govern
ment secrets in order that the illeg-
al trust could increase its dividends
was Philander G. Knox, now Sc
cretary Of State. Mr.. Knox helped
organize the steel trust and went
from the position Of steel trust at
torneY TO that OF United States at
torney General.
