CHARLES F. STAPLES QUITS
State Railroad Commissioners Accepts
FedtraI Position.


Charles F. Staples has resigned as
member of the state railroad and
warehouse commission and Governor
Eberhart appointed o. P. B. Jacobson
OF Fergus Falls as his successor. The
resignation is effective May /.
Mr.. Staples retirement is, due to his
unanimous election by the interstate
commerce commission as a member of
the advisory board in the division of
valuation. This board will have gem
eral charge of the physical valuation
of American railroads to be made by
the interstate commerce commission
and the appointment is considered a
great honor

nually. The valuation work will con-
tinue from eight to ten years.
Mr.. Staples had told no one but his
colleagues on the commission and
Governor Eberhart of his intention to
resign. The announcement of his re-
tirement caused general surprise.
Mr.. jacobson, the new commission.
er, has been member Of the state
board of grain appeals for two and
one-half years. He is well known as
the former editor Of the Fergus Falls
Ugeblad, a leading Norwegian news
paper.

EbeThaTt DepIOTeS Attitude Of
Those Against Him.
ENTERS RACE FOR GOVERNOR
Says Enemies "WouId 5esmlrch Fair
Name Of State in Their Efforts
to unseat Him."

St Paul (Special) Mot that it was
unexpected, but for your information
will say that Governor Eberhart has
announced his candidacy for the Re
publican nomination for governor.
This will be his third appeal to the
voters of the state, though, to be ex-
act if he is elected this time it will
be his fourth term as chief executive
The first time he became governor by
reason of the death of Governor John
A. Johnson. Governor Bberhart in his
announcement names George F. Au-
thier, his private secretary, as his
campaign manager and states that no
political headquarters will be opened.
His statement to the public is brief
and simple to degree. He deplores
the attitude of those who would Will
fy and besmirch the fair name of the
state in their efforts to unseat him
and says his appeal to the, people will
be through the medium of the primary
law and, not by way of the old time
dishonored boss ridden convention.
The primary, he says, is the court of
all the people and he will stand or
fall on its verdict At later date
he will speak more fully on the issues
of the campaign and announce the
things he stands for.

That the state Democracy is enthu-
siastic over the outlook for success in
this years contest was shown by the
well attended mass meetings held in
nearly every county in the state to
select delegates to the state confer
ence in ST. Paul. Wilson and Win
was the slogan in nearly every case
and few adjourned without taking a
vicious fling at the present Republic
an administration and its head, Gov
I ernor Eberhart, through the medium
of lengthy resolutions. He was con
demned as tool of the interests and
his administration characterized as
one of treasury loot and machine con
struction. The present primary Law
also came in for share of attention

compromised by handling his excel

I'VE condemn the silly, blatant, ex
travagant, yenal and maudlin admin
istration of the state government BY
Governor Eberhart, whose junketing
tangoing, turkey trotting, flirting
ballad singing, song writing antics
and lack Of interest in and grasp o

law is to be believed its passage was
due to the activities of a certain line
of business operating in the state, ana
if such is the case then the law is due
to kick right back. 1t looks very
much as if the house, at least, would
have a majority of Democrats and
anti-liquor Republicans. The Pro-
hibitionists, it is reported, are urging
the fling of two of their number in
every disputed district for legislative
positions
Governor Eberhart's efficiency and
economy commission, which by the
way is said to be anything but friend
" to the man who gave it birth, is
hot on the trail of the state board OF
control It thinks the board should
be abolished and director of state
institutions, with a half dozen or more
expert department heads to be known
as commissioners, substituted What
the economy and efficiency cOmmis-
sion thinks, however, is not shared in
by a majority of the country press
and the recommendation of the COM
mission is likely to have scant cOnsid-
Grafton by the next legislature. With
an existence Of better than ten years
to it's credit the board of control is
regarded as among the best of the
states institutions and quite a few
will have to be shown before they will
permit it to be put out of business.

Attorney General Smith, l. A. Cas-

publican elimination convention was

the endorsement of opposition candi-
dates to the three, but the scheme
failed.

E. E. Smith, Republican state chair
man, whom the insurgents charge
with being responsible for present al
Eleged unsatisfactory party conditions,
was not in the state when the elimi-
nation convention was held at Mime

days previous and is still among athe
missing. Had he been in the state
perhaps things would have beeng diff
1ferent. Gossip here 10 that the genial
chairman is seriously thinking of re-
tiring from the game. Contrary to
the general opinion Mr.. Smith is not
the monster that some would paint
him. There are men that have it all
over him on aggressiveness, but it
takes brains instead of fists to win
campaigns these days, and Mr.. Smith

A Chinese Superstition.

When a Chinese baby takes nap peo
pie think It's soul is having rest-going
out for long walk perhaps. If the nap
is very long one the mother is .frighien-
ed. She is afraid that her. baby's soul
has wandered too far away and cannot
find its way home. If it doesn't come
back. of course the baby will never
awaken Sometimes men are sent out
INTO the streets to call the baby's name
over and over again, as though it were a
real child lost. They hope TO lead the
soul back home. If baby sleeps while
it is being carried from one place to an
other the danger of losing the soul along
he way is very great. So whoever car
res the little one keeps saving its name
out loud, so that the soul will not stray
away They think of the soul as bird
hopping along after them.

THE ROADSIDE TREE LAW.
A New Act and It's Value to the
State Of Maryland

With the advent OF summer and the
season when 50 much attention is given
TO out door life, news regarding we'll
framed road side tree law passed at the
last session OF the State Legislature is
received with interest by Maryland ciii
Zens.
The contrast between road lined on
either side with row of handsome
trees, and one unprotected from the cold
winds and the glare and the heat OF
hot summers sun. is at once apparent to
any one There is a contrast. too be
tween the street or country highway
with its we'll cared for, ornamental trees.
and the road whose trees are covered
with numerous signs and advertisements
which are not, TO say the least, orna-
mental in any way.
All OF these things have received at
tention in law which is sure 10 con
tribute much to the appearance of the
Stale, beautifying the landscape and
making the Maryland roads and streets
comfortable and more attractive TO the
passer by For this law gives the State
Board of Forestry the power not only to
care Tor and improve trees already plant
ed along any highway, but provides for

Ii is forbidden under this law. and a
penalty is also provided, to trim, cut

mission OF the State Forestry Officers.
And further. the placing Of any advertis
ing matter on fences, stones, trees or
buildings IN or upon the public highways
is now prohibited, and fine is now
provided for the enforcement Of tbs pro-
vision.
The direct benefits TO be derived from
such law are only TOO apparent. and
the State Board of Forestry PROPOSES in
the immediate future TO show to the
people OF this State how they may them
