Two prominent and old time resi-
dents of Minneapolis passed from
earth within the past few days

ing and Edgar G. Comstock on Sun
day afternoon. ~. - -~: =.
Henry F. Brown was born in East
Baldwin, Maine, October 10, 1887:
He came to Minnesota in 1860 and
located in Minneapolis. In the early
days he numbered in the Rum river
pineries and was well known to many
of the old settlers of Princeton and
vicinity. Later the scene of his ac-
tivities was transferred to the upper
Mississippi. Until about twelve
years ago, when he quit the lumber
business, he was regarded as one of
the most extensive operators in that
line in the Northwest. He was also
actively identified with several other
large business interests in Minneapo-
lis, but was best known as a breeder
Of Shorthorn cattle, and his Brown
dale farm, located few miles out
side of Minneapolis, has a nation
wide regulations. g
Edgar F. Comstock was also a
native of Maine, and was born in
Passadumkey, that state, March 4,
1916. He came to Mime apolis in
1870 and engaged in numbering; later
he turned his attention to railroad
contract work and was large en-
ployer of labor. He served two
terms as representative and one
term as senator in the Minnesota
Legislature and figured prominently
in political affairs of the state until
quite recently.
Mr.. Comstock was Whole-souled,
broad-guage man, one who was ever
true to his social, business. and politi-
cal friends.

A FARMER SACCOUNT
NeIs Robideau Furnishes Union With
Statement Of His Receipts and
Expenses for the Year.
While He Cleared but $7o3.s5 Over
Expenses He is Perfectly SAT-
isfled With the Result.

Nels Robideau, who operates one
OF the best farms in Greenbllsh.
makes it, a point to keep an accurate
account of his receipts and expend-
itures, so that at the end of every
year he will know exactly where he
stands financially. 1t is an excellent
idea and one which could be followed
by every farmer in the country to
advantage. ~u.e i'll 81. ~..-.
Mr.. Robideau has furnished the
Union with a statement of his re-
ceipts and expenditures covering a
period beginning on January 1, 1912.
and ending December Is, 1912, with
a request that the same be pub
lished. While he cleared but s2O3. IS
for the period mentioned, he is per-
fectly satisfied with results. Mr..
Robideau has large family and his
expenses are consequently heavy.
Among his big items of expenditure
is $203.S0 for schooling his children,
and it gives him more pleasure, he
says, to pay out money for this pur-
pose than for anything else. ."All
my children,'' declared Mr.. Robi-
deau, 'shall have a good education
even if [ do not make cent of profit
for myself" Such men as Mr.. Robi-
deau furnish a good example to the
world at large. Hereunder is the
statement referred to above: -

Goes to Jail.

Leo Jopp, who was arrested and
brought before Justice Norton on a
charge of child desertion, was unable
to furnish the bonds required (s5OO) /,
and was consequently taken to the
Hennepin county Jail by Sheriff
Shockley to await the finding of the
grand jury at the April, 1913, term
of court. The statute provides a
penalty of one years imprisonment
for the offense with which Jopp is
charged.
Jopp's father arrived here from
Carver county last Friday evening
and it was expected that he would
go bail for his son, but upon being
told the nature of the case the old
gentleman fatty refused. Hence
Jopp will have to be boarded until
the next term of court at the ex-
penSe of Mile Laos county.

DIRECT LEGISLATION AND RECALL NEEDED
BY o. d. TEEL.

Shall we beats Bourne? Bourne's
speech in advocacy of Oregon Sys-
tenn has had a greater circulation
than any other speech ever delivered
in the T. S. senate More than o.
100000 copies were mailed on re-
quest alone.
To my mind all the things which
Bourne has done and is trying to do
shrink into insignificance compared
to the work he has done and will con-
tinue to do for direct legislation. The
fight he made in 1906, two years be-
fore Ben Selling reluctantly stood for
Statement No. l. made it possible for
us today to vote for L. S. senators,
and has forced legislative candidatec
that matter
Selling claims to have led the fight
for Statement No. 1 in Mu,tnomah
two years after the election of Bourne
on that issue. In an open letter to
Selling, Kelleher says:
you refer to the fact that you led
the fight for Statement No l in
MultnOmah county four years ago.
This is in spite of the fact that 1 was
the first candidate to file for state
senator and in spite of the fact the
friends of Bourne, by means Of petit
tions had to urge you to get into the
race"
Under date Of April Q, 1906, in an
open letter to the republicans of Ore
gon, U'Ren says.
"Then some friends Of the law ask
ed Mr.. Bourne to become candidate
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-04-17

for the sole purpose of enforcing the
Statement No. l agreement of the
law. They told him at the time it
would cost from $4,000 to $4,000
and they did not believe he was we'll
enough known to be elected That
through his efforts they thought the
law would be enforced even though
he should not be elected Senator and
they believe he was big enough man
to sacrifice himself Tor a principle.
The campaign has cost more than
$4,000 for postage, printing and clerk
hire alone. No other candidate ,or
L. S. senate has so much as raised
his voice or written line in favor of
requiring wouldbe members of the
legislature to sign Statement No. /.
1 say these things concerning Mr..
Bourne because I know they are true
and because he has been and is being
more persistently and industriously
lied about and vilified by the enemies
of Statement No. 1 than any other
man in oregon politics today. 1 have
never heard any man who knows Mr..
Bourne question his honesty, his
truthfulness or his ability"
The same is true today. All gov
ernments, in all ages. are and have
been administered for the benefit of
the governors. We need the national
initiative, referendum and recall and
the reelection of Bourne will be of
greater hep in this matter than that
of any other candidate.
Yours respectfully.

PORTLAND-Any impartial analysis
OF the returns on delegates to the Re-
publican National Convention shows
that the rout of Taft has begun. After
the great Roosevelt victory in Illinois,
In which the people really had an op-
portunlty to express themselves, no
reasonable person can doubt that the
ultimate end is the nomination of
Colonel Roosevelt for President.
So completely was Taft defeated in
Illinois that he received but two dele
gates to Roosevelt's 56-the single
district that Mr.. Taft carried being
Senator Lorimers.
A thorough Roosevelt victory in
Oregon is thus presaged by all.
Taft Rout Is Complete.
Senator Fred w. Mulkey, of Port
land, Oregon, Roosevelt committee
man, has received the following tele
gram from Joseph NJ. Dixon, of Wash
ington, d. c.. the Roosevelt campaign
manager:
-Four hundred and sixty-eight dele
gates to the Republican National Con-
vention have been elected up to and
including today. OF these, 142 are for
Colonel Roosevelt, Al for Mr.. Taft,
for Senator Cummins, Sc for Senator
La Toilette. "a uninstructed, including
81 from New York State, and contests
are pending in cases of the remaining
l4S.
The Taft rout has begun.
Following the great Roosevelt vic
tory in Illinois, comes the report of
the Roosevelt victory in Maine. The
action of the Maine Republican state
and district conventions in pledging,
by vote of two to one, their entire
delegation of 12 delegates to the Chi
cago convention for Roosevelt shows
conclusively that the New England
Republicans are keeping step with H.
inois and the other Republican States
of the Mississippi Valley in the Roose-
welt column.
New England for T. r.
THE Taft managers have been loud
ly proclaiming that New England was
solid for Taft.
The result in Maine makes their
claim ridiculous.
In Vermont, Roosevelt takes one
ldii VI iuS lliSli uCltu uSleSdltS anu
the state convention by mutual agree
melt selects two Roosevelt and two
Taft delegates and sends all OF them to
Chicago uninstructed. Final returns
show that Roosevelt carried Illinois By
about 10000 majority.
1T was a landslide which swept
verything before 1t, except one dis
riot, the Fifth. which is Lorimer's.
Taft Loses Own Districts.
The Illinois delegation to the Ma
iional Convention will be: Roosevelt
Sc Taft g The districts OF ex-Speaker
cannon and Mckinley, the manager Of

yelt Overwhelmingly, Mckinley losing
his own precinct by two to one vote
after having personally devoted some
time 10 it. The entire country should
not overlook the significance of Roose-
velt's carrying the ninth congressional
district OF Illinois by vote of over
two to one, in which live two of Tafts
cabinet officers, McVeagh of the Treas
llry: Fisher of the Interior; ex-Secre-
tary OF War Dickinson. Assistant

the sentiment of the state is over
whelmingly for the New Jersey gov
ernor. and this is borne out by the
impartial testimony of the conserva-
tive New York Herald which says
that Woodrow Wilson sentiment con-
trolls the party in California.

nomination of Governor Woodrow
Wilson for the presidency is receiv-
