NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY

BY E J. Edwards

When General Chester A. Arthur
went to Washington in March. 1851.
TO begin service as vice president OF
The United States he took rooms In
a lodging house in Fourteenth street.
a block east OF the treasury depart
ment. and had for n fellow lodger in
that house his intimate personal
friend, Roscoe Conkling. then repre-.
senting in part New York state in the
federal senate.
IL was the vice presidents and the
senator's custom to 90 in company
from their lodgings TO the then IA.

Chamberlin. for breakfast. IL was oh.
served by those who saw the vice
president and the senator on their
way to and from their breakfast that
one OF them was accustomed TO walk
very close to the curb and the other
more than arms length away.
Somebody spoke to General Arthur
about this and he said laughingly:
"Conkling has one peculiar idiosyn.
crazy. He acknowledges II and a v
that he can't explain It. He hates 10

Roscoe Conkling's arm than Of en-.

MAKE ROADS WORSE

1t is pitiable to ride along what
was once a beautiful smooth prairie
road and see where the so-called
roadmakers have plowed deep fur
rows alongside preparatory to
dumping the sods right in the mid.
die of the road where they will be
left without. any further work,
BUMPER and rougher than the
toughest kind of corduroy until the
traffic has worn it down. Some of
the best roads which never requir-
ed any work are ruined in this way
every season and it is time that the
working of roads be regulated so as
tG be done by some one who knows
something about it. Every Tom,
Dick and Harry who. can. hold a
pillow or scraper. handle is not a
road maker by any means, but ap-
parently the roads, the arteries Of
the country commerce are turned
over to their tender mercies with
no thought as to their fitness or IN
fitness for. the work.-Graceville

Cistern Filters do not Remove the

Cisterns that are properly con

! Minnesota permanent school

iness-ike way Of handling them, is
getting a vast amount Of publicity
in the widely circulated magazines
insthe East. 81 regard this kind Of
publicity the most valuable adver-
stising our state can get, says Fred
u. Sherman, Commissioner Of I'm
migration. when a state can at
tract the attention Of great eastern
publication in such manner as to
receive favorable comment upon
the business methods of conducting
her affairs, much benefit is deriv-
ed" . +.
A recent issue of the Youths
Companion says, editorially:
Most of the states to which the.
National government has made.
large grants of land find little sat
isfaction in telling how they have
disposed of it. To this rule Min
nesota is a notable exception, and
the story of its public lands is both
a rebuke to other states that have
squandered their valuable grants
and a lesson to the states that still
have natural resources worth pre-
serving. <s5>%" 4
While other states were selling
their public lands for dollar or so
an acre and using the money for
current expenses, Minnesota was
selling timber off it's lands at good
figure, and then selling the land it.
self for agricultural purposes for
five dollars an acre; it put the total
proceeds into permanent fund for
the benefit of it's schools and of its
charitable and penal institutions.
The fund now amounts to almost
100000, and gives Minnesota a
larger school fund than that of any
other state in the Union. Four
neighboring states, to which the ma
tiOnal government was not less gen.
erou in alloting public lands, have
all together funds of only $l6,OOO,-
600.
Minnesota deserves " e heartiest
congratulations Of the other states
for the far-sighted wisdom of its
early lawmakers, and for the fidel-
ity with which its officials of later
years have guarded their trust.
Such a splendid record of efficiency
and honesty gives new heart to

fare of states that have been less

Former Governor John Lin:t has
been sent to Mexico as the pers 3r4i
representative and confidential ad-
visor of President Wilson and he
and his wife are now on the way to
the Mexican capital. It is believed
that Mr.. Lind's mission in the first
place will be to induce the war; zig
factions to cease }hostilitics a:,d
agree to the holding of a general
election and abide by the result, to
the end that a stable government
may be again established. 1t will
require all the persuasive and Ii
plomatiC powers of Mr.. Lind -
make those hot-headed Mexicans
stop their foolishness, but when the
man from Minnesota raises that one
arm of his, enforced as it will lie
by the powerful arm Of Uncle Sarn,
the Mexicans may lose Their fight
ing spirit and become 10 III, as
lambs. If Mr.. Lind succeed iii his
mission, he will in all probability
be appointed ambassador to- Mc>ico
as soon as a stable government Is
established. Minnesota may well
consider herself honored that one
of her citizens has been selected for
sc delicate and responsible a. task.
IT is to be hoped that Mr.. Lind may
be able to bring about a lasting
peace in the turbulent and revolu-
ton torn country. 3.
