The steamship Nevada, plying in

supposedly peaceful waters, struck
three mines within few minutes, and
was blown to pieces with loss of 12O
lives. On Turkey rests the blame for
this wholesale murder, for it can be
defined in no other light. These mines
were planted during the war and per-
.mitted to go adrift with reckless dis
regard of the consequences. Only a
few days ago in the same waters an
other ship had a narrow escape from
the same cause. This is a matter that
demands international action.-Pitts-
burgh Post.
Of course it is pretty hard to have
all your vegetable gardens tramped

Visions of 500 fines and sixty-day
sentences in Jail have been confront
ing users of cigarettes who give the
"makings" to friends and acquaint-
ances, since it has been discovered the
new cigarette law contains a provi-
sion applying to the giving away of
cigarette papers and tobacco. This is
the section that has produced the vi
sions and caused the fear and trembl-
ing in many quarters. The law pro-
vides as maximum penalty for vio-
lation of the provision a sixty-day Jail
sentence and ten dollars for each Of
tense. 1t has been discovered, too
that the law for licensing the liquor
traffic has the same provision about
giving away drinks.-Owatonna Jour

Renville county will surely profit by
the reapportionment which gives us
one instead of two representatives
For several years past this county has
been in the position Of the farmer who
hired two men, one to build fence
and the other to pull it down, and paid
both of them. Our one vote in the
lower house will count hereafter

A great many measures are being
advocated these days for the benefit
of the farmer and settler, but none of
them would give greater help, espe-
cially for the settler, than a system of
good roads, roads that could be used
at any time of the year, and over
which the maximum load could be
hauled.-Gheen Record.
Seems kind o. queer, but it's a fact
that the Republicans will expect the
Democrats to furnish the foundation
on which the graceless old party is to
be Observation-Disclosures Herald.
Because of the enforcement of the
Fossen-Wallace law, several hundred
fallen women have been thrown upon
the streets in ST. Paul. What are the
people of that city going to do about
the condition that confronts them
1t is a serious condition and not a
theory.-Mankato Free Press.
Remember, June II is Good Roads
day. The public-spirited citizens OF
every community in the state should
endeavor to improve stretch of roac

or twenty rods of bad roads in eacl

Gov. Eberhart stayed all night il

The fact that the big gun factorie

1t has been figured that accordin,
to the present assessed valuations O
the state, the residents of the cite
and villages of Minnesota will pa
S4.47 to every 81 paid out by the farm
ers of the state, under the Dunn goo
roads law passed at the last session
None of this money will be spent o.
the improvement of streets, but tn
farmers alone will reap the benefit i
the way of better highways. But pro
badly some farmer will still complain
