LAUNDERING RAILROADS.

The die is cast. An increase of
eight per cent in freight tariffs and
a return to the three cent passenger
rate is announced by the railroads
for July 1.
A more transparent blunder no
management ever committed.
Have the roads forgotten the feel
ing of a few years ago? Is it to
their advantage to have every mans
hand raised against them.
Business is business but i'll fares
the railroads when they become the
recipients of the peoples wrath.
Railroads" will be an issue in
the next cempaign. AS we said be-
fore an increase in the gross earn
ing tax is certain and whatever
stringent regulations the state finds
it can impose will be imposed.
This is not right, this makes for a
condition injurious to trade, harm
full to people and roads but the d.
rect and natural result of the posi-
ton taken by railroad management.
They have sown to the wind and
it requires no Solomon to forsee at

ored oleomargarine only when the
customer has full knowledge of
what he is getting.
The bill was introduced by Sena-
tor H. N. Benson Of St. Peter and
had hard Shedding. 1t prohibits the
sale OF any substitute for butter
which is colored in any tint of yell

it if it looks like butter.

WILLIAM ]. BRYAN.

The prognosticatlng swarm of
bees had activity looking like paral-
ysis when William j. Bryan was
born. And he hasn't disappointed
those bees.
Early in life he started out to be
a talker and he has made his life's
mission beg for mercy. He has
come more nearly talking himself
into international prominence than
any other man born in America.
Doubtless he is the greatest orator
in the United States today and one
of the greatest in the world.
The fluent use of words is gift
but it requires more than that to
spell oratory. that strange and sway
ing influence of the spoken word
upon men. Personality. sincerity,
sympathy, an artistic appreciation
of the highest sentiments, subtle
understanding of the moods, likes
and dislikes of humanity all of
these are needed to make the orator.
All of them Bryan has.
With brilliant figures and impas-
stoned sincerity he puts his thoughts
before his audience. You may not
believe in his political faith but you
must admire his courage. This is
he who will speak in Redwood Falls
next Friday evening.
1t is now nearly sixteen years
since he demanded and received
national recognition. All that time
he has been private citizen but the
might of his personality has swayed
thousands and he has been second
only to Theodore Roosevelt. His
history is as unique as his attain
ments are exceptional.

/ lei Lawler is a remarkable man. 1t
is now nearly twenty years since he
came to Minnesota, direct from the
Wisconsin university where he had
taken law. No man in Minnesota SO
handsome as the handsome young
Irishman. Clear eyed and clear
headed, dominant, yet tolerant, an
idealist. Such man as might east
ly have headed an uprising in the
face of certain and SYNONYMOUS
death for the freedom of his coun-
try.
Such man he was when he took
the state by storm in his gubernator-
ial campaign. For the first time in
the history of Minnesota the Repub-
lican party was scared. Lawler
went down by $4,000 votes, re-
markable sho wing. His eloquence,
his personality. his intelligence
were the secret of his run.
That was the crest of the wave.
Dan LAWYERS life has been a fail
ure. He forgot his ideals, he de-
stroyed his eloquence, he shattered
his personality and he did it all with
eyes open.
Such is the man who says he will
be candidate for the United States
senate under the Keefe bill. His
candidacy can do no harm as he can
not be elected.
OLAF A. Lende has moved from
Marshall to Candy.
What's the answer? There can
be but one.
Lende is the young attorney who
kicked the political ambitions out of
Senator Seward last fall. Seward
said he did not believe in County
Option but would vote for it if his
people wanted it. Lende said he
did believe in it and would vote for
it anyway. Lende won.
He made clean, though far from
a remarkable, record in the senate
last winter. He is good speaker
and has the reputation of being de-
pendable.
Now he has moved away from
Marshall and gone up into Yellow
Medicine county. Volstead lives in
the adjoining county.
Lende wants to go to congress and
it is evident he is laying his wires
with that idea in mind. Hence the
removal to Candy.

that his family used to eat con-

ment. But Freeman of Montevideo
got in his work and Lawler went
down.
That is typical of this mans polit.
ical life. He has been ever striving
ever right on the point of winning,
always failing and every failure has
brought with it loss of confidence in
himself, loss of political power in
the state, loss of influence with the
political managers.
1t was during his mayorality cam,
paign that he made the now famous
remark: Il shall be no mans man
and wear no mans collar" He was
elected mayor of St. Paul, the most
utter and consumate political mis-
take of his career. If he wore no
mans collar yet his ear listened to
the whisperings of the IMAM in am
bush" If he meant to serve the
people he failed completely and did
not succeed even in serving himself.
He wasted his time and neglected
the duties of his office to score the
daily press. 1t is not surprising that
it was impossible for him to secure
denomination or the election of
Henry Haas, whom he heartily en-
dorsed.

STATE HOUSE.
Towns Should Look After
Their Brown-taiI Work.
Commissioner Buckley viii En-
force Law Against DeIinquentS.
Reliance Life Insurance Co. May
Operate In Maine.
STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next Meeting of Governor and Council
Wednesday, April IL, at 2.30 p. M.

Commissioner Buckley of the depart
nent of agriculture has taken the first
active steps for the purpose of forcing
Il town to comply with the law requir-
ing the removal of brown tail moth
nests from trees and shrubs, the town
in question being Nassalboro. in Ken
fIebec county. George \. Yeaton of
Chelsea, representing the department,
SIS now busiIy engaged with a crew of
men in cleaning up the brown tail in
fostations in that town. in order to
get the work completed before the new
foliage begins to appear.
Under the law all expense incurred
ON account of this procedure will be
assessed against the property of the
town in addition to its regular State
tax. Commissioner Buckley is au
thority Tor the statement that there are
:; number of other cities and towns in
The state which are delinquent about
the matter and that unless there is "a
better spirit shown in the near future
he will put crews into them.
Commissioner Buckley proceeded
with the town of Vassalboro in the
same manner as he is proceeding with
the other towns of the State. Jan. l.
n" issued a letter to the municipal Of
iiccrS which reads in part as follows:
Sufficient evidence has come to me
that your town is infested with the
brown tail moth. Therefore | hereby
give notice in accordance with the law
OF this State that YOU shall cause to be
destroyed before the first day of March,
19lI the brown tail moth nests which
may be found within the limit of your
pubic streets and parks, said limit to
extend the distance of 50 feet from the
center Of the public streets or high
ways and include all trees and shrub
berry growing thereon" Then followed
a paragraph notifying the town Of
hcers to have the private property
cleaned up promptly.
On March another letter was sent.
III notes that the first notice was sent
ON Jan. II, recites the main points of
The law and then says: 1T would be
expensive for your town if it should
become necessary to invoke the law
giving the commissioner power to do
an" work and extends the time limit to
darch 90
The ultinatum was sent out March
- and is as follows:
Dear Sr:-On the 18th Of January
sent YOU a notice giving you until
March list to clean up the brown tail
fnnth nests. Several reuuests We're
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1911-04-11

received to have little more time, for
different reasons although many of
the requests We're not reaSonab bic. and
did extend the time until the goth OF
March: and after this extension of
time to complete the work, and having
received two notices, many cities and
towns have not complied with the law
as yet. Now it is the duty of the
mayors of cities, the selectmen of
towns and the assessors of planta-
tionS to clean the brown tail moth
nests from all trees and shrubs along
| the highways, sixty feet from the cen
ter each way, and in the public parks;
and the real estate owners must
destroy the nests on shade and fruit
trees. If said real estate owners do
not cause the nests to be removed
and destroyed, the officers of the city,
town or plantation must have all nests
removed at once and the expense of re-
moving and destroying such nests shall
be attached to the taxes of the owner
of the property. whether said owner be
a resident or not. &c
Section ! of the law relating to the
protection of trees and shrubs, as
amended by the Public Laws of 1909,
Chapter "a, states that if any city,
town or plantation shall fail to COM
ply with the directions of said com
missioner in the performance of said
work and the expenditure of such
money within the time specified by
him, the commissioner of agriculture
shall cause the said work to be done
and shall charge the actual expense OF
the same to said city or town: such
amount to be collected as State tax
and credited to the appropriation for
the protection Of trees and shrubs
from dangerous insects and diseases.
Now it is not the desire of the COM
missioner of agriculture to be obliged
to cause the cleaning UP OF the brown
tail nests but it must be done, and if
the municipal officers do not comply
with the law. as the brown tail moth
is fast spreading over our State. il is
the duty of the commissioner of agri-
culture to cause this work to be done
and charge the expense to the city,
town or plantation.
Respectfully yours.
tSigned) j. =. BUCKLEY"
As none of these notifications
brought results Mr.. Yeaton was sent
into the field with instructions to hire
such help as he needed to do a thor
ough job. The realization that the
moth pest is a serious menace to the
agricultural interests of the State has
obtained firm hold in the new adj
ministration and it is Mr.. Buckley's
intention to prosecute the work vgor-
ously. While he has already sent a
crew OF men into one town he states
that that is not the limit of his re-
sources and that unless other towns
hasten to comply with the require
ments Of the law he will put agents
into them also.
