July II from Philadelphia says that
''the Pennsylvania railroad has quiet
ly ordered all the men laid off in its
various departments several months
ago to return for duty" Considering
the noisy manner in which the laying
wonders why their return to duty was
not considered equally deserving OF
prominent mention. Not that it is at
all important that it should be loudly
proclaimed or even publicly announc.
ed at all. But the loudness of the
laying off and the quietness of the
reinstatement. show a desire on the
part Of railroads and press to spread
a false impression in regard to indus.
trial conditions. This desire is due
to the false notion that people can be
made to believe themselves prosper
GUS or otherwise by merely insisting,
regardless of fact, that they are or are
not so. It is this same false view
which induces Republican Congress-
men to waste breath, printers ink and
valuable time in calamity speeches,
and causes Democratic Congressman
to make themselves ridiculous through
still more preposterous and wasteful
talk concerning alleged widespread
prosperity. A little more reliance on
natural law and less on buncombe
would lead to wonderful improve

AN INTERESTING FALL ELECTION

The political decks are being clear
ed for the gubernatorial fight in this
state. The contest will be a most in
teresting one. The alignment will be
entirely different from the primary
contests. Mr.. Lee united the oppo-
sitiOn to the state administration
within his own party and eliminated
Gov. Eberhart from the contest. He
did we'll. He convinced the people
of the state that the present admins
tration should be ousted and replaced
with a new one. 1t now remains
for him to convince them that he is
better fitted for the job than is the
statesman, Congressman Hammond,
who was named by the progressive
element of the Democratic party,
who will go Mr.. Lee one better, If
possible, in constructive statesman
ship and who is not tied up in any
manner to the interests which con-
fessedly has such a strong hold on
the Republican organization in Min
nesota. The people are likely to take
no further chances but do thoro
job of housekeeping while they are
at It. Minnesota's experience with
Democratic governors has been most
encouraging and has taken away
the senseless fear formerly existing
among Republican voters. The work
done by John Lind as governor, al
tho not fully appreciated at the time,
las been vindicated long ago. That
John A. Johnson made good, but few
will deny. With all due respect to
Mr.. Lee, whose good qualities are
recognized, the people are looking
forward to the campaign soon to be
made by Congressman Hammond
with an expectancy that foreshadows
an interesting election. He has been
elected to Congress time and time
again from a Republican district.
What will be the result when he
puts on the same kind of winning
campaign thruout the State?

HE EFFICIENCY COMMISSION
John Stone Pardee Says Its Report
Has Had a Kindly Reception.

John Stone Pardee Says Its Report
Has Had Kindly Reception.
St. Paul, July 27-Evidently the ef-
ficiency commissions plan will re-
ceive respectful consideration in the
next legislature. How much further
it will go will depend on how warmly
the public takes to the idea of sys-
tematizing the states business, put
ting it on business basis and max
ing the appropriations go as far as
possible.
At least it will receive respectful
consideration. A number of candi-
dates for the legislature have declar-
ed themselves for it in substance if
not in exact detail Still others have
written that they are interested and
will give it the attention it deserves
as the common mind of thirty men
who have devoted to it great deal
of thought.
William E. Lee has given assur-
ance that it will not be ignored in
his campaign and w. S. Hammond
has declared himself in accord with
its purpose. II think" he says on
the first view Of it, that I shall be
found supporting the work so we'll be-
gum"
At bottom, however, it depends on
public opinion. Changes so far
reaching are not to be made unless
| hn r. ;1 s,,
effect change as sweeping as when
a city adopts the commission form
Of government and that is not done
without deal of debate.
In fact it is the same idea as the
commission form for cities, concen-
trating responsibility, simplifying ad-
ministration and making it possible
for men who have a mind to get re-
suits to accomplish what they are
after.
This much is certain. When the
states adopt the system Of admins
tration described in the commissions
report, they will no longer be foun-
dering around in a multiplicity of
governments and a sea of appropria
tons. The governor, the heads of de-
partments and the members of the
legislature will know where they
stand. And the people will know what
their public servants are doing.
A change that will bring that to
pass is not to be rejected without a
good deal of thought.
From the legislators the following
letter is found:
P. A. Gandrud, Sunburg: AS far as
have been able to familiarize myself
with the result of the labors Of your
economy and efficiency commission, l
feel that it is absolutely worthy of
approval and support by the Legisla-
ture. 1t seems to me that it affords
thorough business-like plan of or
ganization Of our states business. I
have no suggestions nor criticisms 70
make as to your report.

MOVE HEAVY FREIGHT EARLY
The Association Of Western Railways
Appeals to Shippers to Cooperate
in Movement Of Cars.

Chicago, July 15-Two years ago in
anticipation of the large tonnage
which the railroads would be required
to move as result of the heavy crops
of that year, this association appealed
to the shippers and receivers OF
freight for cooperation in obtaining
! the maximum use of freight equip
ment. The results Of that appeal, and
the interest manifested by the ship.
pers throughout the country, were
very gratifying,
The present prospect Of exception
ally heavy crops, warrants an appeal
of the same nature at this time.
In spite of the fact that great sur
plus of cars has existed for some time,
the surplus of box cars is not so great
as to warrant any feeling of security,
and unless the cooperation suggested
below can be had, the prospects are
for a difficulty in moving these crops
which may affect disadvantageously
the interests Of the shippers and re-
ceivers alike.
The railroads are making every ef-
fort which their resources will per-
nit to put cars in condition for serv-
ice and in other directions to prepare
themselves to handle the traffic with
promptness.
Shippers and receivers, commercial
organizations and others having to do
with the commerce of the country, are
earnestly urged to lend their efforts
and influence in every way possible
to bring about the most economical
use of equipment, and the following
suggestions are made for which the
widest publicity is solicited:
First: Move all the coal, lumber,
cement and other supplies that you
can before the heavy crop movement
starts.
Second: Load and unload all cars
as quickly as possible. Of without
additional cost, the use of greater
force will get the load ready for
movement or the car released more
quickly, do it,.
Third: Load all cars to the full ca
pacity. leeway of 10 per cent above
the marked capacity is permitted be-
fore reduction of load is required. All
cars should so far as possible be load
ed to a weight between the marked
capacity and 10 per cent above.)
Fourth: Anticipate the disposition
of freight before its arrival.
Fifth: Only order such cars as can
be loaded promptly. (Orders for cars
should state the number required for
that days loading, the kind of cars,
the final destination of the shipment,
and the routing via which it will
move.)
Sixth: Reduce to the minimum the
practice of billing cars to informed
late points to be held for reconsign-
ment.

Innovation in Amusement
Tir~1Ac

That there is nothing new under
the sun has been disproved by Jones
Bros and Wilson's Shows in present
ing their attraction to the public this
season. 1t is conceived along original
lines, and is presented on scale OF
grandeur and magnificence, making
all other competitors pale into sig.
nificance.
The moment one enters the large
canvas, from the handsomely decor
ated cages and dens, to the comfort.
ably arranged seats, everything de-
notes class.
A large elevated stage, enclosed by
large steel barred arena, fills one en-
tire end of the tent. This immense
steel enclosed stage measures 80 feet
wide and 60 feet deep. It is an exact
duplicate of the stage used by the
Hackenback Wonder Zoo and Circus,
that created such sensation in the
Olympic in London last winter; in
this arena the wild animal perform
ances are given. The rest of the tent
is filled by two regulation circus rings
and large elevated stage.
The wild animal performances are
wonderful, the animals themselves are
a revelation to circus goers even an
inexperienced eye can tell at a glance
that these are not the descript, man.
gy, inbred specimens usually seen
with tented organizations. In asking
Mr.. H. G. Wilson, one Of the propri-
etors for an explanation, he answered,
the reason is very simple, we use on
ly forest bred animals for our groups,
and while a trainer to handle forest
bred animals must be an expert in his
line, there is not as much chance of
accidents as from domestic raised ami
mails, for with our animals trainer
is always on his guard; he cannot
make pets of any one Of them, conse-
uuently he never relaxes his vigil
ance.
Everything imaginable in the way
of trained animal performances are
given, from the smallest monkey to
the largest elephant. Even clown
numbers are presented by animal &C
tors, clown bears, clown monkeys,
clown dogs, clown pigs, clown ponies,
and the largest and heaviest clown
in the world, Myrtle, the clown ele-
plant.
The horses and ponies must not be
overlooked, hundreds of beautiful
Shetland ponies, performing stunts of
all kinds, building pyramids, and drill
ing like an army of soldiers.
The high school horses deserve
special mention, unquestionably the
most wonderful trained horses in the
world, including Stayaway, the worlds
greatest high jumping horse with a
record of feet and 10 inches.
All in all Jones Bros and Wilson's
Shows are a commendable enterprise
which will enthuse the most blaze
lover of amusements, and they have
set a pace that will be extremely Diff
ficult for any of their competitors to
follow. At Willmar Aug. 4.-Adv.

Local Merchants Opportunity.

The Leader is frequently furnished
with long articles clipped from var
ious publications purporting to be ar
guments against the patronizing Of
mail order houses. These are gener-
ally furnished us by nervous merch-
ants who are afraid the mail order
house is going to get all the business
away from them. We seldom print
any such articles for the reason that
they serve as free advertisements for
the same mail order houses, and as
we do not accept paid advertising
from these outside concerns, we can
see no reason for running free adver-
Using for them. Requests for the
publication of articles attacking the
mail order houses generally-not al
Ways-come from men who are not
doing anything to advertise their own
business, and are not making any
use of the splendid opportunity af-
forded them by the advertising COL
umns of the local newspaper.
The way to combat the mail order
house is by using their own methods
by advertising. The local merchant
who can not hold his own against
Twin City or Chicago competition
when he is right on the ground, has
the advantage Of personal contact
with his trade, and has the opportun-
ity to make extensive and exclusive
use of the columns of the local paper
which goes and is carefully read ev-
cry week in every home in his terri
tory, can not expect to succeed under
any circumstances.
The mail order house is handicap
ped in advertising it's goods by the
necessity Of using expensive printed
catalogues which must be sent at
great cost through the mail, or of u.s.
ing the advertising columns of pub
locations of general circulation, such
as farm papers, etc. They can not
get their advertising into the local
newspaper at any price the local
paper is far and away and many times
ium, price considered, in existence.
Therefore, why should the merchant
have anything to fear? He will not
if he has the wisdom to take advan-
tage of his opportunities. He sells
better goods, just as cheaply-and Of
ten at lower price than the mail or
der house, and the purchaser can see
the goods before paying for them. He
can also bring them back if they don't
suit him after he gets them.
Therefore we can see no reason why
we should rail against the mail order
house, as such.
Neither do we intend to scold the
people who patronize them.
It is all up to the local merchants
themselves. They can kill the mail
order trade in their territory if they
take full advantage of all the oppor.
tunities which they have and which
the outside concern can not enjoy.
There are few merchants in every
town who are doing their full share
and more to retain and build up the
business of the community, but there
are often many who are doing moth
ing, and complaining because business
does not come to them as they think
it should.
The newspaper is glad to cooperate
to the fullest extent to build up the
business of the community, but it has
a right to expect those most vitality
interested to do something to help
themselves. Leader.

MARK TWAIN'S
 DAUGHTERS SUCCESS

"Mephsto,' writing in Musical Amer ica this week, makes these pleasing comments:
 Tt will rejoice the hearts of many to hear that Madame Gabrilowitsch has just made a most successful debut, as a singer, in Berlin. The wife of Ossip Gabrilowitsch, you know. was Clara Clemens, the daughter of Mark Twain. Before she married Gabrilowitsch, the distinguished pianist and man of letters, she had attained considerable success on the concert stage in the United States, so that I was not at all surprised to hear that she had done so well in Ber- lin, before an unusually critical audi ence. Gabrilowitsch accompanied his wife, and then aroused enthusiasm for himself with Chopin's B Minor Sonata.
 "I cannot let the opportunity go with out recalling my first meeting with nearly half a century ago, at the house of Bateman. who was the American manager who introduced Henry Irving to success an' lame. I well remember the discussion It had. on that occa- sion, with z Der of English literary men of promil,~.ce. who laughed them selves sick over Mark Twain's jokes, all of which were new to them, and especially his dry way of telling them.
 "I insisted that Mark Twain was not a professional humorist, but a sound and serious philosopher. who, appreciating the low standard of intelligence of most of the people that he met, clothed his wisdom in humor.

Unable to Walk

While driving through the country yesterday we stopped at the house of some poor people. Lying in the corner of the room was an old woman who is de- prived of the use of her lower limbs ,y paralysis. She has been lying in that spot four years. yet I have never seen another face as sweet. cheerful, and patient upon invalid or we'll person. I cannot bear the idea of her lying there any longer, I am thinking what happiness it would bring to her if she had a wheeled chair. She brought out into the bright sunshine in- stead of enduring that living death. Am l presumptuous in appealing to the mem bers of the H. H. c. for assistance in this charitable purpose? Please send my address to any one who is willing to aid in securing this great comfort for the heroic invalid. And let me beg that whatever is done may be done soon in mercy to the bed ridden woman.
 MRS. E. D. w."
 The pathetic story is set down in full that readers may comprehend why I trespass upon my own rules in asking for an invalid chair before the expira tion of the time that should divide the re- quest from one presented last month But read the little sketch again. and forgive me- Transportation is not costly And her need is imminent.
