William J. Bryan decides to become a
candidate for the democratic presi-
Dental nomination. Mr.. Bryan still
holds the whip hand and in his home
state his name has already been ad-
vanced for a position on the demo-
cratic primary ballot as preferential
candidate by petition placed on
file with the secretary of state at
Lincoln. Should Mr.. Bryan, how
ever, absolutely refuse to consider the
nomination, he will be instrumental
in selecting the man whom the party
will place in the race. Anti Bry antics
can put this in their pipes and
smoke it. : 1.

There is at least one "dynamite
plot" which the daily papers cannot
charge to union labor. It is the find
ing of "a sticks of the explosive be-
meath a railroad bridge at Thebes,
ILL.,, which was cached there by a
number of young men who intended
celebrating Christmas by touching the
stuff off on the prairie. Ever since
the Mcnamara episode it has been
the practice of many daily papers to
charge union labor with plotting to
destroy property whatsoever ex-
plosives were discovered by so-called
"private detecti ves," no matter where
they found them. Anarchists, nihi-
lists and others have been relieved of
all suspicion of plotting to destroy
since the Mcnamara confession-the
finger of accusation has been pointed
at union labor. But these dailies
have their reasons-tbey are the tools
of the employers associations and as
such do their masters bidding. - .-.

In letter to his attorneys, Rev.
Clarence ", T. Richeson, who for
several weeks has fingered in a
Boston jail charged with the murder
OF Miss Avis Linnell, his fancee, has
made a full confession of his, guilt.
1t was one of the most cold blooded
murders in the annals of the criminal
history of Massachusetts, or, for that
matter, of any other state. Richeson
deliberately poisoned the young girl
who expected to be his wife that he
might marry a wealthy woman. The
perpetrator of this devilish deed was
on Tuesday very properly sentenced
by Judge Sanderson to expiate his
crime in the electric chair. Under no
consideration should Communication
to life imprisonment be granted this
black hearted villain.

Another wreck of the Great Northern
fast mail train, Oregonian, was mar
rowly averted last week by a section
man, who discovered broken rail and
tagged the train. Railroad men at
tribute the swapping in two of so
many rails this winter to two causes,
the intense cold which has
prevailed and the extra hard steel
which is being used by manufacturers.
This steel, they say, is much more
brittle than the softer metal formerly
used. The discovery of a metal, or
rather combination of metals, which
possesses the qualities of hardness
and susceptibility to the influence of
frost would prove a great boon both
to railroad builders and the travelling
public. ~~:~>'S ~ :: h~.

We hear great deal about
the ideal way they manage things
in Canada. But if the same
conditions, with reference to railway
freight transportation, prevailed in
this state as in the Canadian north
west at the present time, our farmers
would be in open rebellion. Millions
of bushels of wheat in the province Of
Saskatchewan is still unthreshed and
the elevators and warehouses are
full to overlooking on account of
lack of shipping facilities, and the
Canadian railroads seem to be max
ing no effort to relieve the situation.

Rear Admiral Robley D. Evan

Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans,
commonly known by the sohriquet
of ''Fighting Bob," who died, sud-
denly at his home in Washington last
week, was one of the most successful
squadron commanders the United
States has ever had. He was rigid
disciplinarian and a master of every
branch of seamanship, from the
splicing of a rope to the manipulation
of the complex machinery of the
modern battleship. He was man of
rough exterior and a fighter of de-
termination when duty called, but
withal man of the kindliest i'm
pulses. Admiral Evans was a
Virginian by birth and was IS years
old at the time of his death.

The youthful president of the state
university appears to be greatly
hampered in the pursuit of his
scholastic duties 10y the number of
calls he receives to address gatherings
in various parts of the country and,
may be, be will find it necessary to
put on "sub." Knowing himself to
be we'll posted on a multiplicity of
subjects Of which the common herd is
ignorant, he proudly, accepts these in
yitations-his aim is to enlighten= his
countrymen. Last week he talked to
the farmers at the Owatonna corn
show-told them how to better their
social conditions and how to keep
their sons on the farm. Some time
ago he delivered an address on 'sUni-
versal Peace" and has discoursed on
varied subjects in many of the prin-
cipal cities 10 the country. Mr.. Vim
cent is remarkably versatile man.
He can handle with equal ease and
familiarity almost any subject, in
Guiding dry farming, the destruction
OF insect pests in cau1iaower patches,
hydrodynamics, dairying, forest
preservation, and the raising Of the
great American hog.

Il STATE INCOME TAX.

A tax levied on incomes is, to our
way of thinking, the most equitable of
all forms of taxation. What is more
fair than an income tax-that each
should be taxed according to his
means? An individual who has an
income of $4,000 should certainly pay
more taxes than one whose income
does not exceed $1,000. Yet it often
happens under our present system Of
taxation that the individuals with
large income pay little or no taxes.
The other day the supreme court OF
Wisconsin upheld the constitutional.
ty of the income tax law of that state.

F. L. Seeley, editor of the Georgian,
charges in his paper that Chas. w.
Morse, the defaulting banker, who is
serving term of Imprisonment in the
federal penitentiary at Atlanta, has
been subjected by the warden to repre-
hensible disciplinary treatment, and
calls for an investigation. To a man
up tree this allegation looks like q
scheme to create sympathy for Morse,
who is one of Seeley's personal
friends. #- -

Colonel Neff, in his Lake Crystal
Union, very properly calls down a
North Dakota minister who denounced
the holding of Christmas exercises in
churches. Here is the way the colonel
goes after the gentleman of the cloth
"You are crouch. Nothing would
please our blessed Savior more than
to gather the children and the older
people into the churches on Christ
mas day-there to observe the day
with beftting exercises and to dis
tribute presents. 1t does the children
good and it does the church no harm. y
AS usual, Colonel Neff is in the right.

Enterprising curio dealers IN the
south, it is said, are selling ''sou-
venirs from the battleship Maine. !"
AS the government has permitted no
portion of the resurrected ship to be
disposed of, this selling of souvenirs
is transparent fraud; but it goes to
show how easy it is to humbug the
public. Any sort of old junk, rotten
wood, ETC., would sell like wild6re as
Maine souvenirs.

Members of the democratic national
committee freely and frankly admit
that the action of the democratic ma
tional convention will be determined
largely by the choice of the repub-
licans for president. If Taft is nomi-
mated the democrats will probably
pick a progressive of the Woodrow
Wilson type, if Roosevelt is the choice
of the republicans the democrats may
choose Harmon or Underwood as
their Standard bearer.

of all the valuable pine timber on the

At the instigation of discharged
city employe petition is being circu-
lated at Mankato by which it is
sought to recall the mayor and COM

of 20 per cent of the voters to bring
about a new election and, considering
the reason why this recall is sought,
we should think that right-thinking
citizens would be slow to attach their
names to the petition.

CONSTITUTIONAL IND JUST.

An article in last evenings Dis
patch is to the effect that the attorney
general has held as unconstitutional
the concurrent resolution passed by
the unanimous vote of both branches
of the legislature, requesting the state
highway commission, in distributing
the road and bridge fund for 1912, to
apportion certain amount to each
of the counties that failed to receive
their share of the "pork barrel" ap-
preparation of 1907: We do not be-
lieve the attorney general ever rem.
dered any such opinion, and if be did
he is clearly in error. There is no
constitutional question involved in
the concurrent resolution in question,
so long as the amount appropriated
to any county does not exceed the
constitutional Limitation of three per
cent. There is no ambiguity in the
wording of the resolution-and it was
not drafted by lawyer either.
Furthermore, there are no insur-
mountable difficulties to be overcome
by the commission or it's officers in
the distribution of the road and
bridge fund for 1872. Because q
county applies for the maximum
amount allowed by law is no reason
why the request should be granted.
In any event we hardly think that
the commission can afford to disre-
gard the unanimous request of the
legislature.

Under the Wisconsin law the exemp-
tions include individual incomes up
to $500. A husband and wife are al
lowed 81, 200 and for each child under
Is years of age and for each legal de-
pendent an additional 5000 is allowed.
The rates of income taxation under
the law after making exemptions are
graduated. For instance, the first
ST. 900 or part thereof, per cent; the
second $1,000 or part, IA per cent;
the twelfth $1,000 or part, 81 per
cent, and over $4,000 per cent.
If the income tax law works salts
factorily in Wisconsin there is no
reason why a somewhat similar law
should not be placed upon the statute
books of Minnesota.
