WILSON HAS WON

Duluth Herald: Governor Wilson is to
be congratulated on the nature OF the
close Of his administration Of the at
fairs Of New Jersey, for he has had
the privilege Of signing, and thereby
making effective as laws, all the seven
bills he offered to the legislators Of
that state as representing his ideas
about trust regulations and control.
By the passage of those bills by the
legislature Mr.. Wilson has been cleared
of the charge so often made against
him during the presidential campaign,
that he had accomplished nothing in
the way Of reforms in his own trust
ridden state. His answer to the charge
was that at no time during his ad-
ministration had he had the privilege
of working with legislature in which
his own party had majority in both
houses. With the beginning of the pres
ent year that obstacle was removed,
and the result has been the passage of
legislation according to the governor 8
ideas. -.[ s-@a w
It was not necessary for political
purposes that Governor Wilson should
offer those bills or urge them for pass
age. There was only one reason why
he should do so, and that was to keep
faith with the people Of New Jersey
and Of the whole country. That is what
he did, and in so doing he not only won
victory over the forces Of pri vilege
in New Jersey and the nation, but he
won a new hold on the confidence of
the people Of the United States, who
soon will salute him as their highest
official. -
Incidentally, it is interesting to note
that even while these bills, emphasiz-
ing the individual and personal quail
ties Of guilt in the breaking Of trust
laws, were being put through their final
stages at Trenton, that same principle
of individual and personal responsible
ty and guilt was being recognized in
an Ohio court by the imposing Of Jail
sentences On the Cash Register trust
men. Apparently we are coming as a
nation to recognize the principle laid
down by Kipling in his poem ffTomlin-
son. that
"The sin that ye do by two and
two, ye must pay for by one
and one.'

OTHERS MAY FOLLOW
DIPLOMATS EXAMPLE
American Minister to Chile Re-
fuses to Resign.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Basing his
position on the fact that he took the
diplomatic civil service examination
Henry P. Fletcher, the American min
lister to Chile, will not offer his resig-
nation before the Inauguration of
President Wilson. This determination
probably will form a basis for the
test of permanency of the civil serv-
ice, as it applies to the diplomatic
service.
Fletcher entered the diplomatic serv-
ice as the result Of an examination
and worked up from minor secretary
ship to the post Of charge d'affaires in
Picking, China, where he came into
prominence in connection with the
Hukwang railway loan.
Because of the ability he showed
while in Picking and his loyalty to the
policy Of the government Mr.. Fletcher
was appointed minister to Chile. Al
though Fletcher always has been a
Republican he has made public his
intention not to follow the recognized
customs Of offering his resignation be-
fore the inauguration of the new presi-
dent. -@,-<
A number Of American ministers,
Including twelve In 1atfn-America
alone, and one ambassador, MI. Rock
hill. at Constantinople, have risen
from the lower grades of the service,
In accordance with the system Of ex-
animation and promotion created by
executive order.
Many officials Of this status, who can
assert that civil service principles
have governed their appointments,
may follow Mr.. Fletcher's example.

WILLIAMS GUERNSEY HERD Is
A PURE BRED

The 81 remaining head in the
Guernsey herd on the M. M. Williams
farm are all pure bred animals, the
last Of the grade Guernseys having
been purchased by Mr.. Tatro, formerly
Of Montana and now living on the farm
at Rail Prairie belonging to w. r.
Longfellow, foreman Of the M. M.
Williams farm. Three of the herd were
fifteen-si0teenths,. one was seven-eights
and one was three-fourths and another,
one-half Guernsey.
In the future nothing but full-b1ood-
ed cattle will be kept on the Meadow
view farm. Inquiries are received daily
by the owner Of the farm regarding the
advantage Of keeping registered cattle
and many Of the Morrison county
farmers are working with that point in
view.

sison for nearly two months not an inl-
portant bill has been enacted into law.
Some Of the glowing promises made
previous to the session relative to the
dispatch with which the Burnquist-
Rines organization would handle legis-
Hlation does not seem to be realized.
b It is doubtless whether P. NJ. Ring
dal would have accepted reappoint-
1ment upon the board Of control at the
hands Of the Eberhart-Sm machine.
Az any rate it would have reflected
credit upon Governor Eberhart to offer
him this appointmen There can be
but one comment upon the appointment
Of Ralph W. Wheelock, it is 9 polite
al appointment and the appointee has
little or no capacity for the work de-
manded of him. s
The house has passed the reapportion-
ment over the senate. There is little
doubt but that it will have harder
shedding there than in the house. The
bill does not change the representation
materially. It adds slightly to the rep
resentation Of cities. The senate is to
have 63 members and the house 125.
X Politics is a strange institution -
the members Of the house committee on
public accounts and expenditures have
discovered. The state appropriates
about $125,000 for fish and game de-
partment.. Approximately 100000 of
this goes for salaries and operating ex-
penses. This leaves about $4,000 for
stocking the lakes with fry and spawn.
Then the machine leaders come along
in the fall and seine the various lakes
for private gain under the guise Of
protecting the game fish. There is q
lake in Minnesota which could yield
3} cars Of rough fish. OF course if the
politicians under the Eberhart-Smith
regime are taking the bass, pike and
other game fish, why that is another
story. The indications are that every
thing finds it's way to the packing box
whether it be bass or pike.

OUR POLITICAL LETTER

..}, st. Paul, Feb 20, 1918,
How the republican machine care.
fully guards the good things for
its party henchmen is well illustrated
in the hearings held last week before
the house committee on public accounts
and expenditures. The names Of Mayor
Keller of St. PaulTand Of Lake Chetek
are indelibly written into the annals of
political scandal Of this state. There
|. is little doubt but Mayor Keller is in
! terested personally in the fishing com
pany which has been SEEMING Lake
Chetek. Why should the mayor Of a
great city appear personally, use this
official prestige as lever to secure
favors from the state game and FISH
commission. No one knows whether it
was graft or not, but the entire deal is
tainted and public sentiment is not
SO discriminating as to the kinds and
classes Of graft as the average politici
an. Here is the story, judge for your.
selves. The writer is accusing no one
The facts speak for themselves.
Aaron Marquis through the influence
Of Mayor Keller and Mayor Keller 3

and said: "Keller will f. it, SO We
get the lake we want.' It is common re-
port about the city hall that reports of
have been receivd at Mayor Keller
office.
Another strange feature is that
Abraham Makiesky sidewalk in.
spector, and Louis PAWN, a political
associate Of Mayor Keller's, are in
terested in the fishing enterprise. Be.
cause Marquis would not allow the
"rakeoff, - demanded by Schwartz he
was successfully blocked. It is urged
that the fishing privileges in this lake
alone are worth between $4,000 and
$4,000. Nice tid-bit for the politicians.
The committee is trying to ascertain
how many more lakes are being seined
by the Eberhart-Smith administration.
It would be well also to call Senator
Cooke Of. Wabasha, who is willing to
tell whatehe knows about the fish and
game commission allowing nets of q
certain mesh to be used in some lakes
