Alderman Scott of Duluth believes
he has hit upon a plan which would
keep boys and girls off the streets
o nights. He introduced resolution
before the city council providing that
when children under Is years of age
are found on the streets after 9 O'Clock
in the winter and 9:3O in the summer
the parents shall be arrested and
either fined or sent to jail. A pro-
vision of this kind places the re-
sponsibillity, in the majority of cases,
just where it belongs, and should
have the desired effect. In nine cases
out of ten it is the fault of the parents
that children are running about the
streets at night.

THE HERALD Will DO TT.

But it's pretty complicated. For

eide whether the question is going to
be if Dunn will be able to pull Eber-
hart through in northern Minnesota,
Or If Eberhart has strength enough to

nesota. 1t looks to man up a tree

tough job had been carved out for
both of them. Herald.
Nothing complicated about the
proposition. The Herald will pull
Eberhart through without any other
assistance, unless the Steel Trust
should order it to support him. In
that event heaven help poor Eberhart!
But the governor is "the man of
destiny;" he was born under a big
cluster of lucky stars and his good
fortune will not. desert him-he will
have the Herald's opposition and
nothing but death can prevent his re-
nomination and election.

DR.. Wiley has been completely
exonerated of the charge of con-
spiracy-the committee of investiga-
tion gives him a clean bill but hands
out mild reprimand to the secretary
of agriculture, who assumed alto
gether too much authority. The fact
is that the secretary, under this self
invested authority, sought to protect
the public poisoners and thus handi-
capped DR.. wiley in his work of prose-
cutting the adu]terators. The CON-
mittee could scarcely have done other
than exonerate DR.. Wiley, but
in the matter of Secretary Wilson
it might, without any .conscien-
tious scruples, have recommended his
discharge. :>: - .-" -

STABLE NAY BE II NUISANCE.


An important and common-sense
decision was rendered by our state
supreme court last week in which it
was held that when stable became q
nuisance the adjoining property
owners have the right to have the
same abated. The syllabus is in part
as follows:
"a barn. located in a thickly
settled part of a city, in which large
number of horses are stabbed, though
not per SO nuisance, may become
such by reason of the manner in which
the same is managed and conducted.
eff the owner thereof so manages
the same that noxious and offensive
odors escape therefrom to the detri-
ment, annoyance and discomfort of
adjoining property owners it is a
nuisance and may be restrained in
equity. -'''.
"Where such a nuisance is continu-
ing in character, equity will interfere
to protect offended third persons, al
though the owner thereof be solvent
and able to respond in damages.
"In the case of nuisance like that
involved in this action, and where the
damage to adjoining property owners
cannot we'll be measured from. a Pc
cuniary standpoint, the injury is irrep-
arabic within the meaning of the law,
and equity will interpose though the
pecuniary damage be not shown to be
great

The Minneapolis Journal says that
a real ''Petticoat lane-an unusual
ladies' shopping street''-is being de-
signed for the mill CITY, If it is the
intention of the designers to reproduce
London's Petticoat lane it surely
would be "an unusual ladies' shop
ping street." Any person who has
ever made a trip through the lane,
with its fried fish shops, bird stores,
fakers' stands, etc., knows we'll
enough that this is true. Israelites
cry their wares on every hand and
pickpockets of various nationalities
are even more numerous than in the
Seven Dials Of London or on Bridge
square, Minneapolis. Many tourists
visit Petticoat lane but thew are
usually accompanied by guides. Yes,
Petticoat lane would be "an un-
usual ladies' shopping street.. !"

Charles W.. Morse, the defaulting
New York banker, who had served
but two years of 15-year sentence in
the Atlanta federal prison, has been
given his freedom under an order
from President Taft. By the condi-
tions of the release, however, there
will be no restoration of Morse's civil
rights. Morse's release was recon-
mended by Attorney General Wicker
sham and Surgeon General Torney
because of his physical condition-it
is said that he is suffering from three
incurable diseases. Even so, we do
not indorse the presidents action in
giving the defaulter his freedom after
serving but so short a portion
of the term to which he was SEN
fenced.

A Shame to Cut 1t Down.

Last week "The King of the Forest,'
was felled near Bovill, Idaho. The
tree is the largest known white pine in
the world and scaled 29,SOO feet. It
was 2O7 feet high, 26 feet around the
butt and over eight feet in diameter.
1t was 428 years old and was known
to thousands of persons all over the
country. The first log cut from the
butt end was 80 feet long, contained
1900 feet of lumber and is declared to
be the largest white pine log ever
sawed.

I NO SMALLFJOB.

|
People in Washington and Anoka
counties are unnecessarily exercised
because the county surveyor Of Ram
sey county wants slices of their terri
tory. It is no small job to detach
territory from one county and attach
the same to another. It is beyond the
power of. the legislature to do so.
There is a clause in section one
article eleven of the state constitution
which reads, "And all laws chang
ing county lines in counties already
organized, or for removing county
seats, shall, before taking effect, be
submitted to the electors of the county
or counties to be affected thereby.
4 and be adopted by
majority of such electors"
Section 80 article of the constitu-
tion prohibits special legislation
''erecting or changing the lines of
any county,"
Sections 385-387 revised laws of
Minnesota tell just how a change in
county lines can be effected.
If Anoka county loses any territory
it will be because majority Of the
electors of that county so determine.
No county can be reduced below 400
square miles even if majority of the
electors favor it.
We repeat, it is somewhat of an
undertaking, even for the county sur
veyor of Ramsey county, to slice off
an acre from either Anoka or Wash
ington.

i. James J. Hill says that enormous
gains in desirable settlers would re-
suit we're one central immigration
agency for the seven states compris-
ing the Northwest Development league
to be established and the bureau now
maintained in each of these states to
be abolished. All efforts to entice
settlers from one state to another, he
says, should cease, and under this
plan every dollar expended would do
the work that five do now. Mr.. Hill
has made long and careful study of
the immigration question and the con-
clusions arrived at by him are worthy

The question of whether the states
can enact pure food legislation now
that congress has passed an act
covering the matter is up to the
United States supreme court for de-
cision. Last week the constitutionali-
ty of the Indiana pure food act of 1907
was argued-as a test case-before
the tribunal. The attorneys of M. W.
Savage OF Minnesota attacked the law
on general principles. Savage is a
stock food manufacturer and we pre-
sumo that a pure food law is a pretty
hard proposition for him to comply
with.

The Truth In q Nutshell,

Our self-styled independent news
papers are apt to be either co]orless>
neutrals or bewildering weathercocks.
If they take sides in any controversy
they usually show greater PARTISAN
ship than the regular party press. If
they do not take sides they trim and
dodge for purposes of revenue only.
In most cases they are on all sides of
all questions and are not to be de-
pended upon to uphold very long any
cause, no matter how worthy.-St.
Louis Republic.

encouraged by bounty of one cent
head, the small boys of Michigan
are waging war against the sparrows
killing them by means of guns,
traps and poison. Howsoever unde-
siraole the sparrow may be con-
sidered, it is altogether wrong, from a
humanitarian point of view, to en-
courage boys to destroy them-it
creates desire in the youth to take
life, whether for compensation or in
the name of sport. TO say the least,
it teaches a bad lesson.
