Financial
Troubles.

following comment upon this situation:
THE country seems likely to suffer
quite as much from the impracticability
of the House Of Representatives In legis-
lating upon the financial questions OF the
hour as from our now SO evident military
inef11ciency-quite. The views of the COM
mittee of ways and means upon the best
method Of extricating the government
from 1t financial difficulties seem to be
Numerically opposed to those of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury. which meet the
appreciation of all experts in national
financial affairs, as far as We can see,
except those who are personally interest
ed in aiding the state and other note is
suing banks to maintain the unnatural
privileges which they have managed to
national and individual einbarrassments.
I'm the House of Representatives the
contest seems to be narrowed down to
one between the national and general
public interest and those Of the currency
issuing bankers Unless the views of
Secretary Chase are made the basis OF
the financial legislation of the session, 1t
seems to us. sixty days will find the gov
eminent utterly unable to continue the
prosecution of the war: money or credit
being as necessary to that end as men.
The rapid downward tendency Of the
credit of the government should be suf-
ficient to awaken Congress to its duty
In the premises; as though apparently
the universal financial ruin that will re-
suit from the bankruptcy which appears
to threaten the government and country"

men, about twenty. reporters and
a dozen newspaper photograph

rushed wildly to the fiat, With
them came Z. man who said he
was a physician.
The. physician bent over Harris
body as it lay on the floor.
He's dead, he said.
What OFF, yelled a detective.
Heart disease, said the Physi-
clan solemnIy, and meltedsOut of
the room.
Assistant Chief Schuettler ar
rived. Someone told him Hart
had died of heartdisease-
But I. knew enough to know
that when a man. dies ofheart dis

Schuettler. Hart -faee5Was pale.

sello recognized the man who had
knocked. It was Webb.
Here's you mani Cassello
shouted gaily to Hart.
Hart drew his revolver with
his right hand and put it in his
left one. With his right hand, he
dragged Webb clear from the
door, through a long corridor and
away to the far end of the living
room.
There he backed him into a cor
ner, which was convenient be-
cause there was a small table
there on which Hart could lay
his revolver.
Hart ran his right hand over
Webb's clothes. He felt the butt
of revolver sticking from
Webb's right hand hip pocket.
Thereupon the detective laid
his revolver on the table and
reached with both hands for
Webb's rear pocket.
Webb picked up Harris revol-
yer. Hart jumped at him. They
rolled on the floor together.
Webb fired once. The bullet
missed, He fired again, and
Hart rolled over on his side and
lay still.
Webb climbed up an inside
stairway to the roof, and escaped.
What Cassello was doing all
this time does not seem to be
quite clear. He says he was "as
. a man in a dream"
This probably is quite true. He
went on dreaming" long enough

IT Is.TiME TO ACT.

The fact that Kandiyohi county
has so far failed to make the neces-
sary arrangements to put county
demonstration at work reflects upon
the progressive spirit of our county.
When the editor heard the reports
made at Graceville by the seven men
now at work in seven counties in
West Central Minnesota and what
they have been able to accomplish in
the short time they have been at
work, we felt that Kandiyohi county
is losing money as well as opportun-
ity for much real progress every
week that it fails to avail itself Of
this new movement to awaken inter-
est in better methods Of farm work.
. Systematic effort to eliminate poor
seed which is undertaken as one of
the features in these counties, by
stimulating interest in seed testing
| and cleaning in every school district
in the county would alone have meant
hundreds of thousands Of dollars in
better crops next fall in this county.
This is a movement worthy of the
best efforts of all good citizens. II
is cooperation in the true sense of
the word. The movement calls for
no public appropriation but the cost
is borne by those public spirited citi-
zens whose faces are set towards
better conditions. Kandiyohi must
make good. Be a booster!

MANTRAPS STILL There.

A few months ago we took OccaS-
ion to notice the condition of the
Great Northern yards, which was not
conducive to the safety of the men
working there. Since then there has
been quite an Improvement in the
cleaning away Of rubbish between the
tracks but there are still many spac-
es open along guard rails and frogs
where men might have their feet
caught with disastrous results. The
guard rail tween switches Nos. 5
and 6, where Harry Otos had his foot
caught and lost leg and very near
ly lost his life, is still open and
yawning for more victims. The place
where John Richie was caught and
ground to death is still in such con-
dition that an accident might occur
again. The cost Of blocking these
interstices between the rails so as to
make it impossible for a foot to catch
is so small that it seems very strange
indeed that this precaution for safe
ty is not taken.
Here is what the Minnesota stat
utes have to say on the subject:
Section 1898, Revised Laws of
1905: "In order to guard against &C.
cidental injuries to employees and
others, every railroad company shall
properly adjust, fill, block and guard
all it's frogs, switches and guard
rails. Any such company violating
this section, in addition to it's liabil-
ity to any person injured or to his
legal representatives, shall forfeit to
the state not less than five hundred
dollars nor more than two thousand
dollars; and such violation shall be
deemed separate offense for each
period of thirty days that the same
shall continue" .=s
One thing on which the state law
appears to be lame is in not prescrib-
ing the distance at which switch
standards shall be placed from the
tracks. With only forty-inch con
Meeting rod there is barely room for
man to pass between the switch
standard and the cars, and the
switchmen, brakem"n and others are
in constant danger while hanging
from the side Of the car Of being
caught by the switch standards. The
standards along the main tracks
have sixty-inch connecting rods
which leave more room along the side
