SIMPSONS EXCUSE.

When the Pioneer, In announcing
the retirement On January l next of
Attorney General Simpson, declared
it did OF wisfto continue to criticize
a public official who is to retire to
private life, it meant what it said.
At the same time we intimated that
we might dedicate O few words to
Mr.. Simpsons resignation, which,
Judging from newspaper comments,
has been about the most popular doc
ument drawn up by that official dur
ing his term Of Office.
Mr.. Simpsons explanation that he
he is to retire in order to engage in
more lucrative work and the asser-
tions which he emphasizes as to state
officials being underpaid is just about
such thing as those who know Mr..
Simpson best would expect.
Mr.. Simpson will permit you to
surmise that he is the best attorney
general Minnesota ever has had, and
if you insist, he would not object if
you took in even more territory.
But Mr.. Simpson had no hesitancy
in breaking the contract which ne
assumed with the state when he was
elected to his Office. He says he now
is poorer than when he was appoint
ed to Office, although at that time he
was drawing county attorney sal
airy from Winona county, and before
that he was attorney for the city. AS
a lover of public salaries Mr.. Simp-
son shines.
Most men who are county attor-
neys would look upon the $4,000
paid the attorney general as pref
ty fair sort of remuneration, and
probably Mr.. Simpson thought so for
awhile. But as time goes by, things
change.
We quote from the Redwood Falls
Sun, because it expresses our
thoughts.
The people of our great COM
monwealth will be the gamer
by the resignation Of Attorney
General Simpson and the ap-
pointment of Lyndon A. Smith.
Mr. Smith is a man who wears
the collar of no trust or cOrpO-
ration.
AS to the attorney generals asser'
ton that state officials are underpaid
little fault can be found for in most
instances they are, although general
ly speaking the state has good mer
at her head, and they are making
more money than they ever did III
private life.

Works Can't Work the North.

Senator Works, of Mankato, has
about decided to be a candidate for
ongressman-at-large from this state
next year. In so announcing himself
Works makes a cheap bid for sup
port from northern Minnesota. He
won't get it. Not only was he a
thorough re-actionary in the last
legislature, but he took particular
pains to show his indifference to and
contempt for northern Minnesota.

destitute of pride and self-respect, it

eague OF LOUISVILLE, kentucky
of course, in the inter
SITS of the liquor dealers, the follow
lg, which is being sent out by tn
eague, presumably, to every pape
4 the county as matter of news:
In the last twelve months the
consumption of liquors broke all
records, and the people of the
United States consumed more
than million gallons more of
whiskey and more than 113 mil
lion gallons more of beer in the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1911,
than they did in the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1910, is the an
nouncement of the National
Model License League, which has
just received the official figures
from r. e. Cabell, U. S. Commits
siOner of Internal Revenue.
The total consumption of dis
titled spirits for the year just
closed was 34,600,193 gallons
as compared with a consumption
of 126,384,726 gallons in the
previous year.
The total consumption of beer
for the fiscal year of 1911 was
63,216,851 barrels or 1,959,722,-
3S1 gallons as compared with
59,544,775 barrels or 1,S45,888,-
OPS gallons for. 1910.
The combined increase is 121,-
O49,S23 gallons which repre-
SCENTS an increase of 1.3 gallons
per capita, using census figures.
The total per capita consump-
ton is now 22.29 gallons.
The highest previous consump-
ton of distilled spirits was for
the year 1907. The slump that
followed that year continued
until 1909 and then took an up
ward turn to the present apex.
Following the receipt of the
Commissioners telegram, T. M.
Gilmore, president of the Ma
tional Model License League, is
sued the Following statement:
"The Commissioners figures
constitute terrific indictment
of the prohibition movement as.
a failure and a farce. The move
ment that has spread prohibition
over more than one-half of the
map began in 1903. At that time
the per capita consumption of
liquor was about 16 1-2 gallons,
and now after all the 'whiten-
ing of the map by the Anti-Sa-
loon League it is 1929 gallons.
eff the prohibition movement
had not been checked in the past
few months it would be difficult
to put an estimate on the in
crease that would have been
caused by adding to the territory
In which people buy in whole
sale lots and consume according
ly.
can increase in the amount of
liquor consumed in license ter
ritory may mean nothing more
than business prosperity and an
increase in temperate drinking,
but an increase in the consump-
ton of liquors in dry territory
must be interpreted as an in
crease in lawlessness and intern
perance."
1t is interesting, indeed, to know
lat 100000 gallons more of whis
Y, that sanity commodity which
as done so much to elevate man
ind, has been consumed and tina
100000 more gallons of BEEF

Dairy Essentials.

The four essentials to healthful dairy
buildings are light, ventilation. prop
err floor and a comfortable tie. Win
dow glass is almost as cheap as lum-
Der. The King system of ventilation
can be installed by any carpenter or
by the farmer himself at the cost Of
few feet of lumber and few days
work A cement floor is but little
more expensive than a good wood
floor and is many times more durable.
Planks laid over the cement where
the cows stand will prevent injury to
the animals. A comfortable tie is only
little more expensive than an awk-
ward rigid stanchion. A good swing
stanchion is not uncomfortable to the
COW. All Of these things could be put
into the ordinary barn with but little
trouble and would pay for themselves
in less than year in the increased
efficiency of the herd.-Illinois Expert

Roots For Swine.

Roots have been fed to hogs expert

most of these experiments there was
quite Il percentage gained by the feed
ing of roots. In compiling some of the
feeding trials Professor Henry shows
that 615 pounds of roots would save
100 pounds of grain. 1t must be kept
in mind that roots should not be fed in
any very large way, for the reason
that they produce Il watery carcass.

Ing" says that because they will abb

should be soaked some hours before
feeding. If fed in connection with
silage this may net be absolutely nee
essary. A trial for few days would
determine the point.
1t would make u better ration to add
ground corn or barley to the sprouts
and bran. To three pounds of the dry
sprouts add four pounds of ground
corn and three pounds of bran and
feed one pound for each three and one
half pounds of milk produced. In adj
dition. give each. cow thirty to thirty
five pounds Of silage daily and all the
