Old Knute Nelson of Minnesota
is opposed to the lection of sena-
tors by the people. When Borah
asked for a vote on this resolution
it was Nelson who led the opposi-
ton, taking as his pretext the bill
for leasing lands in Alaska. Nell
son is a member of the committee
on territories and he has had a
bill of this character in his hands
for at least four years. He was
not so eager to present until the
Borah resolution threatened roll
call on the question of electing
senators by the people. Then
Uncle Knute rushed to the front,
shouting as he did so that he was
of course in favor of electing SEN
atode by the people, but that he
was so eager and anxious to re-
lieve Alaska from her various diff
|ficulties that he must ask for con-
|sideration of his bill. OF course
the intelligent Scandinavians and
Swedish population in Minnesota
|are not to be found by a cheap
trick like this. Uncle Knute has
played very foxy game for long
time, but events are forcing him
into the open. Uncle Knute is a
|part of the old Aldrich Special
Privilege machine, and Uncle
Knute will have to go.

Senator Nelson's bill for leas-
ing Alaska coal lands is all right
EXCEPT. The bill provides for
"a scent royalty on coal which the
Morganheims had contracted to
pay so cents royalty on, so there

Is the bill with which Uncle Knute
tried to head off a vote on the
popular election of senators. If

bacco when he ought to have been

Extract from Congressional Re-

y ~
Mr.. Hughes, OF Georgia. Mr.. Chair
man, the numerous amendments pres
ented before this House clearly indicate
the Importance OF thequestionnow under
consideration The maximum salary Of
the rural free-deliycly carrier is $4,000.
From this amount he is required to fur
nish his own equipment FromH 900
carriers, embracing almost every Con-
erosion District in this Union, it has
been discovered that the net earnings per
carrier is only $3l 30 per month, which
is far less than common laborer receives
These carriers are required to stand an
examination before they can be accepted
as being eligible, and not only that, but
they must furnish certificates Of good
character In that connection, ] desire
to say in behalf of this great army Of
80, 900 carriers that during the last fiscal
year there, were only 175 who we're dis
charged for cause, being about three
tenths Of per cent, whereas among the
so, 900 postmastcrs Of this great nation
there were 200 who were discharged for
cause, or / 6 per cent.
Mr.. Chairman, in order to make the
system perfect it is necessary to retain
the trained men, / wish to say this,
that in 1908 there were IN changes; in
1909 4S4 changes, which is a 40 per cent
increase. In the first three months Of
1910 there were nearly 1900 changes,
whereas in the first three months Of the
preceding year there were 776, being
nearly 100 per cent increase, Thatcleany
indicates that the gentlemen on this SER
vice are not being paid according to the
amount Of work that they are doing, and
1 sincerely hope that this salary will be
increased to an amount commensurate
with the service they render.

Train Hits Wagon; Thirteen Killed.

Train Hits Wagon; Thirteen Killed.
Thirteen persons were killed, ten
instantly, and nine other seriously in
jured, when a Northwestern passenger
train, northbouud, struck a hayrack
filed with Menasha merrymakers, at
q grade crossing on the southern out
skirts of Neenah. Wis.
OF those not killed instantly two
died on the way to the hospital and
one died after reaching the hospital.
Of the injured two viii die. Others are
probably fatally injured
The thirty young people were re-
turning from a dance at the home of
Peter Hanson, who lives on the road
to Oshkosh, and were singing as the
big hayrack was pulled up the slight
incline to the Northwestern crossing,
a mile south Of the station in Neenah
The next instant the speeding passen- /
ger train, bound for the north, had
ploughed through the rear end Of the
big farm wagon, and twenty-five Of
the thirty occupants were scattered /
for 200 feet along the railroad right of
way dead, dying or dangerously hurt. I
Those who were seated in the front
Of the wagon escaped almost without
bruises.
The dead were frightfully mangled. /
Decapitated bodies were scattered all I
along the right Of way and six corpses
were taken from the pilot OF the loco
motive when the train was finally
brought to a stop.
The injured were so terribly hurt
that it is likely that several more will
die. Meanwhile there was hardly a
silver left of the wagon which had
carried the party, so thoroughly did
the heavy train Of Pullmahs sweep
the vehicle out Of existence.
