SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

The appropriations of the last leg
islature for every purpose, and all ex-
penditures, approximate $4,000, 900.
and provisions were made for its ex-
penditure.
That amounts to more than one
fifth of the value of Minnesota
wheat crop for this year. -
1t would take one-half of all the
oats raised in the state this year to
pay the bill.
It would take 100000, .four-year-
old steers at $50. each to bring this
amount.
Five hundred thousand, two hun
dred pound hogs at twenty cents a
pound would have to be sold to real
ize this sum.
This amount of money would pay
the wages of 5000 men, two hundred
days at $500 day.
1t would build 1O,O00- homes costing
$4,000. each which would furnish
housing for a city of $4,000 people.
Comparisons are odius but the
few given seem to justify the demand
for efficiency and economy in the next
state administration.

A CONFESSION.

A goodly number of the newspaper
boys in the state appear to recognize
the earmarks of Hon. Frank M. Eddy
ON the editorial page of the Herald.
That there may not be any more
worrying over the matter the editor
of the Herald wishes to assure the
boys that their surmise is correct,
and we consider ourselves mighty
fortunate, indeed, to have q writer OF
the ability of Mr.. Eddy as contribut-
ing editor. Frank always has some
thing to write about and the articles
are prepared in that unique phrase
ology for which he is: famous. The
owner Of the Herald is willing to- as
sumo all responsibility for any mat

"SAUK CENTRE"

Hundreds of years ago before the
white men made settlement of this
region, the place upon which this
beautiful city is located was known
among the Aboriginees as "Owepa
Sauk," which literally translated
means, "The Centre Of Sank" The
most expert ingquists have never
been able to agree upon the meaning
Of the word "Sauk," its Specification
seems to have been lost in antiquity
One authority insists that it means
capital" or Headquarters; another
region" and still another claims that
plenty" is it's true signifcation.
Probably all are in a measure correct
and in the limpid language Of the
natives "Sauk" m ant the heaquart-

A TEST OF POLICIES

The Democratic tariff bill is now a
law. The people Of this country are
now under the lowest tariff measure
since the Walker tariff law which was
passed before the war. The free list
is larger than ever before in the his
tory of the country.
For the first time in half century
a real Democratic tariff measure has
been enacted into a law.
One good thing about this is that

ers or capitol of a beautiful, favored,
plentiful region. Whatever doubt,
however, may exist as to what
"Sauk" may mean as applied to our
lake, river and valley, the-title "cen-
tire" needs no explanation. 1t is a
centre between lake and river and
when the lake became frozen over the
water advantages necessary for an
,encampment could be obtained from
the river, which owing to the rapidity
of its current remained open In many
places during the coolest weather. 1t
was centre between the prairie and
timber lands, and when the Frost
King sent the buffalo, antelope, and
other prairie game scurrying south
ward in search of forage the natives
turned to the timber in close prox-
unity for bear, moose, deer and other
timber denizens. In the hot summer
months the prairie knobs and hillocks
where blew the cooling breezes, were
ideal places to pitch their tepees and
when the Northern winter blasts
came down on them they needed but
to take few steps to move them in
to the protecting shelter Of the for
ests, which furnished them an abund-
ance of fuel and shielded them from
the blizzard.
Certain it was that the earlier voy-
ayers found here unmistakable EVIL
dence that this had been great cen
trail rendezvous for the original peo-
pies of this and adjacent territory
for time immemorial; and when the
ever on-moving wave OF emigration
crowded out the original inhabitants
of the land it still remained the "cen-
tire for the sturdy homesteaders, who
peopled northwestern Minnesota and
for the farther away "breed" settle
ments of Manitoba. H.. -
There are plenty of old residents
here now that can well remember the
time the "homesteaders" from what
are now Swift, Stevens, Traverse,
Pope, Big Stone, Todd and Douglas
counties and the "Otter Tail" country
appeared on our streets to obtain
their SUPPLIES, and the foundation of
some of our Sank Centre fortunes
were laid by shrewd bargaining with
the "breeds" that made annual pill
grimages to this point from across
the Canadian border in their demon
iacally, creaking "all-wooden" carts
laden down with furs.
The "centre" part was well demon
strated by the fact that at one time
the Herald was the official county
paper for five of these counties. :
The advent of railroads and the
Of adjacent towns, for
time, worked detrimentally and the
town stood still in growth, and pos
sibily refrigerated, but its natural
"eentreism" is so advantageous, that
with the influx of the incoming set
tiers it is again rapidlys coming into
its own. Its eentrality makes its
future assured; it is sure to be one
OF Minnesota's great centers as it
was in times primitive.

II 4
for the first time the country will
have fair test of the outworking of
the tariff policies of two dominant
parties.
Ever since it's inception the Repub-
lican party has been party of "pro-
lection. There has been within the
party some difference in detail as
to the, amount and character of the
protection, but none as to the princi-
pie, but protection" is and
always has been fundamental doc
trine of Republican faith. 1t is not
necessary to argufy as to the results
of this policy; the financial condition
Of the country after fifty years Of
Republican protective legislation
speaks for itself.
The Democratic party through
long years of desolation and defeat
have opposed the protective prin-
ciple and steadfastly stood for altar
iff for revenues only" with ultimate
free trade. For many years in the
halls of congress, on the hustings and
through the columns of their press
they have unremitingly insisted that
the Republican tariff was "robber"
tariff and that under it's operation
the great majority of the people were
systematically plundered for the ben
eft Of the minority. In season and
out of season they have proclaimed
that the protective tariff was the
cause of trusts, monopolies, tainted
fortunes, and practically every finan-
cial evil existant, and great many
evils that are not financial
The voters of the country, surfeit-
ed with prosperity, at the last gen.
eral election took them at their word
and turned the government in all its
branches over tothe Democrats.
The President Immediately after his
inauguration convened Congress in
extraordinary session and proceeded
to carry out the pledges Of the party
platform. The present tariff law is
the result. Tariffs have been cut and
slashed beyond the ardent expecta-
tons of even the most ardent low
tariff man. Practically all farm pro-
ducts have been put on the free list
and duties on all manufactured artic-
les were more than cut in half.
Some very inconsistent arguments
have been advanced by the support
ers of this measure. Mr.. Underwood,
its author, declared in a speech, that
the agricultural schedule would re-
duce the high cost of living but
would not reduce the price of the
commodities the farmer had to sell.
1t is a little difficult to understand
how the things we eat will become
cheaper if we continue to pay the the
same price for things we eat. 1t is
difficult to comprehend how the work
ingmen will receive the same wages
when they are thrown in direct COM
petition with those who work for
less. 7~.-. =,
The Herald as Republican hews-
paper welcomes the test. Mere names
are nothing. What a Republican tar
iff acomplishes has been denonstrat-
ed. What a Democratic tariff will do
is conjecture. If it reduces the high
cost of living, produces greater and
more diversified prosperity than we
have enjoyed in the past we will all
be Democrats in 1914,-but?

DYNAMITE BOMB IS
THROWN INTO HOME
Attempt TO XIII Several Persons
at ST. Paul Fails.

An attempt at wholesale destruc-
ton of life was made when a dyna-
mite bomb was hurled through the
sitting room window in the home of
A. E. Russell, st. Paul. No one was
hurt, but almost the entire side of the
frame house was torn off by the con-
cussion and the interior of the dining
room was almost wrecked. Damage
estimated at over $1,000 was done.
Eight persons were sitting on the
front porch at the time.
Detectives arrested John Conte, a
laborer employed in the Omaha rail
road shops, and locked him up pend
ing an investigation. No formal
charge has been entered against him.
Besides Mr.. and Mrs. Russell there
were at home a number of roomers
All were considerably shaken up by
the explosion and that no lives were
lost is considered remarkable.
Whether the bomb was planted OF
hurled through the window, the DO
lice have been unable to determine
1t is thought, however, that dynamite
in stick form was used.
The explosion was heard for mile
or more and shook adjoining build
ings like leaves on tree.

Rv !. z. BUCK.

We have come to the dividing of the
ways-we have reached a critical
point in the history of our agricul-
tural development. Aside from the
35,000,000 acres in the United States
that can be reclaimed by irrigation,
and the 100000 acres of farm lands
that can be made available for cult
walton by means of drainage, no very
large areas of virgin soil remain to
be brought under cultivation in our
country. In time, of course, these
barren lands will be made to yield
abundant harvests-but for the pres
ent we must look elsewhere to find
solution of the problem with which we
are confronted. If we are to keep
on going forward it will be necessary
for us to secure larger yields from the
fields that are already under cultiya-
ton. That is to say, our problem is
not so much how to increase the popu-
lation in rural communities as it is
to increase the producing capacity of
the people already on the farm.
Average Yields.
The average yield of corn per acre
in the United States is only about 81
bushels.
Our average yield of wheat is only
1871 bushels per acre land the, aver
age yield of nearly everything we
grow on tho farm is exceedingly low,
compared with the yields in other
countries.
1t Is high time we were waking up
and doing something.
Better Farm Management Needed.
One hundred years ago the Mohawk
valley in New York was the wonder OF
Europe, was the wonder of the world
for its fertility, and thousands of car
loads of cattle, hogs and farm crops
were shipped out of that valley until
it's fertility has been exhausted. The
settlers then moved westward into the
Miami and Scioto valleys of Ohio and
did the same thing over again. Fol
lowing the exhaustion of these rich
valleys, the magnificent broad prairies
of Illinois and Iowa were brought I'M
der cultivation, and the same process
is now being repeated. Even in the
