I'M INDEPENDENT GOVERNOR.

Hon. Earl Brewer will enter the executive mansion as no other
governor-elect ever entered it-absoutely independent and untram-
meled. He will have neither friends, with partisan claims, to re-
ward, nor partisan enemies to punish. He can afford to toe the line
of official recttude, and in his appointments make the best seec-
tions that judgment. experience and observation suggest; hence the
state will expect much from him and will not, in our opinion, be dis
appointed. AS far as the judiciary is concerned, there are many
very able lawyers in the state who are absolutely without political!
pun," Such men are known to Lawyer Brewer and are likely to be
recognized by Governor Brewer, and called to theachancery and cir
cult benches.-Aberdeen Examiner.

No Jap War Anticipated.

Washington, March %. - Presi-
dent Taft today had most cordial
interview with the japanese ambas-
sador, Baron Uchida. MIR. Taft
sent for the baron to felicitate with
IN upon the ratification of the new
treaty between this country and
Japan. He took advantage of the
occasion to assure the Ambassador
that never in the history of the
two countries had the relations been
SO pleasant as they were today;
never had talk of war been more
absurd.
President Taft expressed pleasure
at the opportunity to set at rest once
and for all the stories which have
been published from time to time
during the past two weeks that at
the back of the administration &C
ton in sending troops to the Mexi-
can border was motive Of precau-
ton against some expected treach-
erous act by Japan.

Inhabitants Of the cities and

having lower prices on the majority
of the articles that enter into the

Legislation looking to better control
and closer regulat ton of cold storage
warehouses, and a review of the
pending measures upon this impor-
taut public matter discloses the fact
that in nearly every bill now before
the legislatures of the different
states time limit is placed upon the
period of storage and an accurate
register to be kept of all receipts,
together with the date Of such re-
ceipt.
This cannot fail, if made into law
to cause the freer operation of the
law of supply and demand, thus Sc
curing the public from corners and
monopolies, bit 1t will at the same
time safeguard the public health by
preventing the storage Of perishablo
supplies until they are beyond Il
sound condition..
t is evident from the information
that has become public relative to
the losses of the syndicates who
cornered the market upon butter,
eggs, poultry and other supplies,
that their Withholding Of the sup.
plies of food from the people was
one of the causes of the excessively
nigh prices that for nearly two
years plundered the masses for the
benefit of the very few.
The arousing of The consumers to
remedy the evils of this system of
monopoly has had a most excellent
effect. ana the steps tina, are now
being taken by tue states and the
nation will make it far more diff
cult for any such opera lions to be
