STILL WAITING FOR An sWER
The Fighting Editor Of Long Prairie
Leader Writes Open Letter to
Judge Sanborn.

To Judge Walter Sanborn, United
States District Court, St: Paul,
MINI. b ..s d,
In a decision recently handed down
by you, you stated in substance that
you based your decision in part on
the fact alleged that railroad com
pany could not haul a passenger at
the two cent rate prescribed by the
law you had under consideration and
that by mourning losses the two cent
rate if persisted in would gradually
and at last finally result in bank
ruptcy for the company; that in the
interests Of the stockholders Of the
railroads, the two cent rate should
not be adhered to, the intimation be-
ing that higher rate than two cents
was necessary to avoid confscation
Of the railroad property.
The Leader would call your atten-
ton to the fact that Immediately
following your decision with its
statement to the above effect, the
managers Of the Minnesota railroads
openly and VIGOROUSLY brought your
decision into public contempt by Of
fering to carry any and all passen-
gers within the state, provided only
that such passengers would submit
to being carried often enough or fa1
enough at the two cent rate, which
rate you had most solemnly decided
after due and proper elaboration to
be .confscatory. Have not these rail
road managers by their action shown
contempt of you and Of your decis-
ion? In the light Of the conclusion in
your decision, are not these manag-
ers grossly disregarding the rights of
the stockholders Of their respective
companies in thus establishing the
5wo cent or confscatory rate? If
the editor of The Leader were to buy
a share Of stock in a Minnesota rail-
road and as stakeholder ask an in
junction from your court RESTRAINING
the officials Of the railroad company
from promulgating the two cent rate
on the ground that the rate is confis-
catory would you grant the injunc-
ton? Does the action Of the rail
road managers in voluntarily estab-
fishing the two cent rate as mention
ed tend to indicate that the railroad
men themselves are not impressed
with the: conclusion in your decision
as to the lack of profits to be made
in passenger travel at two cents per
mile? s.. ...r~-. .~-.
The Leader believes that the public
welfare will be enhanced by a con-
sideration and will, in the interest of
the public welfare, publish whatever
communication from you in the mat
ter that you may care to have it pub
lished: III.

SCANDINAVIAN LANGUAGES
IN OUR COUNTRY
DISTRICT SCHOOL S
(By J. N. Lenker, D. d.

Young American Scandinavians need
to be taught the characteristics and
prospective possibilities Of the father
lands of their parents before they can
intelligently decide whether it is worth
while to learn their languages. In re-
ply to letter addressed to State Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction for
information on teaching modern langu-
ages in public schools. he answered,
'there is very little literature on the
subject" and sent nothing. In further
search I learned he was right, and in adj
dition also learned there was very
little literature, or public sentiment, to
help the child to decide intelligently for
or against studying in school the langu-
age of his home. Books, pamphlets and
tracts in different languages are there
fore, needed to help parents and children
to decide this question early and right,
at least to the satisfaction of them
selves in the future Too much foreign
advice viii mislead It is for the child
influence of their language in Europe
in America, and other lands, and on the
water, remembering that by learning
any one of the Scandinavian languages
they will possess the key to the heart
life and literature of three growing, ag-
gressive Kingdoms of europe
NATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF
SCANDINAVIANS.
They are an international people
much, if not everything. The scandi.
navian peninsula holds an unique, a
strategic position as a glance at the
map reveals. The three Scandinavian
Kingdoms, practically of one language
are centered in the midst of the worlds
three greatest empires, two of which
are Teutonic like themselves, and the
third Slavic. The children and colonies
of these three empires with three diff
erent languages girdle the earth and the
Scandinavian finds himself surrounded
by these old time neighbors, the English
German and Slav-not only at home, bu
everywhere abroad Their language HI
learns at home abroad and it place:
him in touch with the people wherever
they meet, whether in America, Afric:
or Asia. To hold central position il
these times of World-expansiOn among
the three languages that rule the worl'
should mean something to a people AM
language in their future development
These geographical relations are empha
sized because of their bearing on thei
language and culture relations. Goo
government and wise diplomacy are i'm
portant so are the advantages of stra
tegic location and close lingual fellow
ship with the rest of the world. /
view Of these facts, if any people nee
to learn languages, and not forget thei
own, it is the Scandinavians. PrOvin
cialism is thing of the past. 1t

The man who won first prize of
81 900, at the National Grain Show
last year picked over 5000 bushels
Of corn in order to secure uniform
|ity of the best type ears. Any farm
er who has good corn will, if he sci.
ects carefully, stand chance OF

thru the fixing Of good type Of cal

portance Of careful selection of seec
corn.
The type Of corn to select: The
ears to select are those Of good size
and fully mature. They should bt
we'll filled at tips and butt. Rows
should be straight and we'll filled
The ear should taper slightly TOWARD
