STORY-WRITER

Novel And A Short Story

Mt Vernon had distinguished Wis

morning in the person of Mr.. James
B. Donnlley of New York City, we'll
known novel writer, play writer and
short story writer. Mr.. Donnlley had
been in the west and stopped off in
Mt. Vernon for two reasons-to see
an intimate friend and to gather ma

most favorably impressed with Mt.
Vernon and secured material for a
book and for short story which will
no doubt be published at some future
date One thing that most impressed
Mr. Donnlley was the refinement and
politeness of the people of this city
Mr.. Donnlley left on an afternoon

mirers-iis Mission In South.
New York, Oct. 4.-Ex-Presiden
Theodore Roosevelt, speaking at a
great gathering of Progressives, who
met on the New York roof garden to
break bread with the colonel and wish
him godspeed on his South American
trip. had strong word for his follow
ers and yelled word of criticism for
President Wilson's Mexican policy.
The reference to the administra-
tion's general foreign policy came af-
ter Roosevelt had tcld of the purpose
Of his coming visit to Brazil, the Ar
gentine and Chile, where he goes, he
said, because the three great democ-
racies wished to hear my views on
democracy" He said that the ma.
tional policy must rest mot only on
good intentions and sincerity, but also
on strength"
AS an example the colonel cited his
own action with regard to San Do.
mingo. He continued:
II never said that would refuse to
run the risk of shedding a drop OF
blood to protect American property.
That doctrine, If carried out logically,
would mean that no policeman ought
ever to arrest burglar or pickpock.
ct, for burglary and highway robbery
are only offenses against property,
whereas interference with them un-
doubtedly means incurring the risk
of bloodshed. Nor did say that all
American citizens should leave the
country, abandoning their property to
the good will of the contending fac
tions. My position was the direct re-
verse. My position was that II Ameri-
cans had right to be in a country
they could stay there, and every re-
source of the government would be
exhausted to protect them. Nor did
/ refuse to act at all until foreign
powers acted, nor either ask OF &C.
cept their cooperation in action, still
less did I follow course which was
certain to produce anarchy and make
existing conditions worse so as to
force Intervention"
Many of the 1900 diners who over
flowed the garden and scrambled for
places among the tables and sides of
the theater didn't hear Mr.. Roosevelt
tell how much better they managed
ticklish foreign situations in his day
nor did they hear him include Mr..
Taft's administration as one of the
feeble ones when he said:
Unfortunately. for the last four
years and half the attitude Of both
the old parties in foreign affairs has
been discreditable to our national
self-respect and to our ability to serve
either our own true interests or the
true interests of the foreign powers
Continuing, Mr.. Roosevelt said:
"This movement will never go
back, and whatever may betide in the
future. 9f 92e thing the disciples OF
an easy opportunism may rest as.
sured, 1 will never abandon the prin-
ciples to which we Progressives have
pledged ourselves and l will never
abandon the men and women who
drew around me to battle for these
principles"

The O'Neiu- Marschalk Bill.

D. P. O'Neill, representative of
this district in the house, and Paul
Marschalk, of Warroad, have intro
duced joint bill which, if passed,
will provide the machinery whereby
the state can clear part of the hold
ings of settlers and give the settler:
time in which to pay for the work.
The bill covers a need which is
vital in Northern Minnesota but
which southern representatives will
probably be unable to see. The en-
tire land policy of the state is one to
discourage prospective settler but
with the state clearin a little land
as aid, settlers will be better salts
fed with their lot and the country
will be rapidly opened up.
The joint bill provides for a re-
volving fund of 100000 which is
to be spent under the direction of a
farm development board which will
consist of the governor, state treas
urer and state forester serving with
out compensation. The board can
employ a secretary at salary not
to exceed $4,000 per year.
A settler wishing the state to clear
some of his land, and he cannot ap-
ply for the clearing of more than
twenty-five per cent nor will he be
considered where he holds more than
160 acres, will apply to the state
board in writing. If the matter is
acted upon favorably, bids for clear
ing will be advertised in a legal pa
per of the county. No clearing is
to cost more than $25 per acre.
The settler must convey his land
to the state and will receive in re-
turn a contract for deed. The in
terest on the principle must be paid
for five years, and the balance in
Guiding both principle and interest,
is to be divided into fifteen equal
payments with interest at the rate
Of 1-2 per cent per annum. Any
merchantable timber cut in clearing
the land is to be sold by the board
and the money credited to the owner
of the land.
The idea back of the bill is a good
one and the machinery provided in
the bill seems first class. 1t is to
be hoped that the legislature will
take some action at this time toward
providing some means whereby the
state can help the farmer who goes
on a piece which is nothing but
stumps and brush. The O'Neill-
Marschalk bill should receive serious
consideration

That body must either adopt his

the first can it stop further pro-
