property damage wrought by the
bomb men, but by the threat of Com
missioner Waldo that he would reduce
them to the uniform rank if they did
not catch the miscreants. Max came
to the rescue and since then he has
been the hero of the police and idol
Of his neighbors. Max is a real de
tective. He does not look like one. He
wears long trousers, and that is as
near as he comes to the traditional
human bloodhound in appearance. He
is 10 years old, but looks only 15.
Max is only five feet five inches tall
and therefore can never aspire to be-
come a real policeman, but he exactly
fits the idea of detective that Mayor
Gaynor wrote about in one of his
many letters. The late Mayor Gaynor
said that strapping six-footers were
poor detectives because they could be
recognized anywhere Cant we get
some little men, even hunchbacks, on
force and make detectives of them ?"
he wanted to know. But the six-foot
regulation still holds and Max can
never achieve the force.
MaX's achievement all came about
through his curiosity He stood on an
east side corner one night, and saw
two men talking earnestly together
Max showed that he was a real Sher-
lock Holmes, for he noticed that one
of the men wore false "goatee." :"
Soon they flipped a coin. 1t rolled
down the steps of a basement. The
man without the "goatee" went down
after it and lighted a match 1t looked
just like he was looking for the lost
dime. bnt when, few minutes later
a tremendous explosion wrecked the
building and brought scared Italians
from all the surrounding tenements,
Max knew that the man with the
match had lighted bomb The boy
detective set out, hotfoot, and over
took the two men he had seem Both
were clean shaven, but in the light
from store window Max saw one
of the men had gum on his chin.
Goldstein trailed the pair to res
taurant where Sc saw them order 4
meal. Then he ran and called the
detectives. Max was given the cred
it. Since then the boy has done moth
ing but look for "clues" and he has
found them, too. He has aided the
police to arrest several bomb throw
ers, and has been given a permit to
carry a pistol. Max says that he

AN APOLOGY!

In mentioning the names of those
responsible for the success of the Red
wood County Fair The Gazette of last
week was guilty of gross carelessness.
Inadvertently the name of F. G.
Hubbard was left out of the list of
officers and directors, which was a
rank injustice to Mr.. Hubbard mas
much as he was one of the most loyal
supporters the Fair project has had
from the very beginning. Mr.. Hub
bard spent much time and energy in
advertising the fair and looking after
the numerous details connected with
it, and was strong agent in accom-
plishing its ultimate success.
Our attention was called to the
omission of Mr.. Hubbard's name by
several of his co-workers who rather
resented his not having shared in the
credit given them. The mistake was
entirely unintentional and The Gazette
wishes to take this occasion to apollo
gize in all sincerity to Mr.. Hubbard
for our carelessness.

Popular Play To
Be Seen At Arll1ory
Decentralization of Owen Wister's ssThe
Virginian" to Be Presented Fri
day Evening
TICKETS SELL RAPIDLY
Cast, Scenery and Management Very
Highly Commended Wherever
They Have Appeared

The sale of reserved seats for "The
Virginian" which is to be the attrac-
ton at the Armory next Friday eve
ming, began yesterday morning and
the call for tickets has been most graf
flying. The popularity of Owen Wis
ter's novel, coupled with the very ex-
cellent reputation of the Jones and
Crane Company, has made the public
realize that this was a presentation it
could i'll afford to miss.
That this company is exceptionally
well balanced and clever has been
demonstrated wherever they have put
on "The Virginian." To assist it's tai
ent in giving thoroughly up-to-date
drama the company carries with it
special scenery which is unusually at
tractive and has arrangements by
which excellent electrical effects may
be obtained.
In order to enjoy the drama to its
fullest one should read the novel be-
fore seeing the dramatization. A STIR
ing adventure of western life, with the
breezy unexpectedness of the West,
pitted against the staid conventional
ity of the East, the book is we'll worth
the reading and the playwright has
emphasized all it's best and most sail
ent features in putting the plot into
his play.
Many very kind things have been
said about both cast and play where
they have been seen recently. The
Daily Herald Of Oskaloosa, Iowa, made
the following comment:
"The Virginian" was presented at
the Masonic last evening under the
management Of Jones and Crane and
proved to be fully as delightful and
entertaining as Owen Wister's book Of
the same name. The types and char
acters portrayed in the story are true
to the spirit and life Of the west in the
days of cattle and cattle stealing and
is altogether different from the aver
age western play. Special stage set
tings were used throughout the produc-
ton and were very well carried out.
The cast proved to be very capable.

HONORABLE C. M. BENDKEN BELIEVES
THE GAZETTE IGNORANT OR UNJUST

Hon. G. M. Bendixen has taken ex-
ception to The Gazette's story in a re-
cent issue, of his visit to st. Paul,
where he appeared before the Railway
and Warehouse Commission.
Mr.. Bendixen is of the opinion that
The Gazette has wilfully misrepresent-
ed the facts in the case and rather ma
liciously dragged the eastman Dis
lance Tariff Bill in where it did not
rightfully belong. In letter to The
Gazette, written October 6, he says, in
part:
"Any attempt to connect the present
situation with the so-called eastman
act is simply absurd on its face. The
eastman law does not take effect until
the LIST Of January 1914, while the pre-
sent rates, which you, in the Gazette
article, say have become excessive,
have been in effect for years. In my
conference with the Railroad Commits
sioners they minated to me that the
eastman act was responsible for the
condition Of which complained. re-
quested them to look up their rate
sheets and after having done 50 they
had to admit that the present rates
have been in effect Tor several years
and IS absolutely unrelated to the
eastman law, more than that they al
SO had to admit that the rates on the
a. & st. L. Railroad from Morton and
Franklin to Minneapolis and st. Paul
are from fifteen to twenty per cent
lower than the rates from Morgan to
the same points over the C. & N. w.
Railroad. This does not coincide with
the chief arguments Of the opponents
to the eastman act that the shippers
on two parallel lines Of railroads, one
longer than the other between two Civ
en- points, are enjoying the same rates
On the ground that the longer lines al
ways reduce its rates to conform with
the rates on the shorter lines, which
is not the case, except At such points
where the competing line actually
meet
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1913-10-14

In reply to this The Gazette wrote
Mr.. Bendixen as follows: 1T is true
that the eastman Bill does not 90 into
effect until next January, but if you
had looked the matter up, you would
have found that all the railways in the
state are now applying the principle Of
the eastman bill to the present rates
and there is no law whatever to prohi-
bit this practice.
The Legislature Of this State, has in
our opinion, made serious mistake in
passing this bill, and we believe that
it will mean higher freight rate on
all grain and live stock shipped from
our county than If the same had not
been passed.
The eastman bill provides that
where two railroads transport freight
to any point in this state the rates
shall not be greater than the maxi
mum rate allowed by law. Do you
know Of any law that prohibits them
from applying this principle at the
present time? The railroads seem to
say that if it is q good thing after
January l, 1914, it is well to try it out
now. If you will take the rains to
look up the law, we belies3 ,ou will
find that you have left the matter
wholly in the hands Of the railroads as
to present rates.
If we are in error in this matter, we
will be glad to correct the same, but,
after very careful re-reading of your
letter we get no enlightenment what
ever from it. We would be glad to
have you quote US the law in the sta
tute book, which upholds your posi-
ton"
Mr.. Bendixen, in his reply to this
letter, did not give the asked for infor-
nation And the fact remains that
the railroads are applying the princi-
pie Of the eastman bill, although they
are not applying it to the limit as they
will after January / AT that time
The Gazette will be pleased to discuss
the merits Of the disputed bill.

WHAT'S IN A LAUGH

Here's to laughter, the sum
shine of the soul, the happiness
of the heart, the heaven of
youth, the privilege of purity,
the echo of innocence, the plea

giles melancholy, for it is the foe
Of woe, the destroyer Of depres-

the ripple on the waters de-

THREE PLANS PROPOSED
For Reducing SOuth's Representation
in National Conventions.

Washington, Sept. 30.-ComprehensIve
plans to reduce southern representation
in Republican national conventions viii
be submitted tomorrow to the Repub-
lican congressional committee by an
advisory committee of five members
of the house. The advisory committee
will offer three solutions of the problem
and in each instance their proposal will
be based upon the idea that the dele
gates to national conventions shall
represent votes actually cast in elec-
tions and not be chosen merely on the
basis of popula ton, as al present
Efforts will be made to keep Ql;o-
rum of the congressional committee in
Washington long enough to act on cHe
of these plans in the hope that it may
be sent forward to the Republican IA
tional committee with an idea that an
extraordinary national convention be
called next winter to determine upon
it's merit.
The plan which has many friends in
the advisory committee, provides for
one delegate from each congressional
district where the Republican vote is
40 per cent or less of the total; two
delegates where it is from 40 per cen
to 60 per cent, and three delegates
where it is over so per cent There
would be four delegates at large from
each state.
Under the old method of choosing
delegates the south had 22S men seated
in the last national convention. Under
the present plan outlined it would have
1z9. The total number of delegates 2 {
the last convention was 1852 and under
the new plan the total would be 1,044, SO
that the proportion of northern to
southern delegates would be largely in
creased.
Two other plans which will also be
submitted give one delegate for each
10000 votes with four at large from
each state. Under one the southern
representation would be IS and under
the other 149.

A GOOD SHOWING
Topeka Building Permits for
September $l15,O0O.
AS Against $4,000 for Septem-
ber, 1912.

Topeka has made a good showing in
building activity since September 1 as
shown by the record of permits issued
by the city marshal. Permits have been
issued in the sum of S115,000 against
900 for September, 1912 Present indi-
cations are that the million dollar mark
viii be reached in permits by the close of
the year.
OF the total of more than forty permits
issued seventeen called for the erection
of dwellings at aggregate cost of $22,-
$50 average expenditure of approx
imately 81, 300. While the number of
dwellings, is large, the cost is unusually
low. The most pretentious of the homes
will cost but So 200 to construct, according
to the estimate of the builder. while the
most humble abode in the list will require
an expenditure of only $225.
The largest items were for the additions
to the state printing plant-$54, ,0O0-and the
addition to the Santa Fe machine shops
$50. 600.
There is a large amount of repair and
remodeling work in progress in Topeka at
the present time. Eleven permits were
taken out for the remodeling of dwellings,.
This work will cost Sc, 600 in round num-
bers. Many odd jobs of painting and 9TH
er work are being done in the city that
do not show on the permit books. Per-
mts have been issued this month for the
building of three barns and four auto
cara
