Thomas Copperage, a Kansas rail-
road official, was found not guilty Of
coercion by the United States Supreme
court, in a decision which reverses the
decision Of the lower courts. Copper
age, in acting for the railroad, forced
an employee to withdraw from union.
He was found guilty Of coercion by
the lower courts under the laws of
Kansas, but the case was carried to
the u. 8. Supreme court, where he was
found not guilty. It is said this &C.
ton of the court affects Minnesota
law in the same manner. The decision
it would seem, would be a hard blow
to unionism.

Representative L. w. Vasaly has in
troduced bill in the legislature
which provides that railway companies
provide proper partitions in stock
cars, in cases where mixed live stock
is being shipped. At present it is
up to the shipper to put these stalls in.
If the bill becomes law, the railway
companies would likely build cars to
take care of this class of shipments.
As farmers are more and more ship
ping comparatively, this would be Of
direct benefit to them. In conjunc-
ton with Representative Sanborn, Mr..
Vasaly has also introduced bill to
amend the banking laws relating to
trust companies operating savings de-
partments.

FERTILITY

Northwestern Agriculturist: When
the grain of our fields is sold, instead
of fed, it robs the soil fertility of
1914 per acre, per year.
When 100 pounds Of crop is fed for
beef, it produces five pounds of meat.
When fed for milk, it produces 1914
pounds Of solids or |'meat equiva-
lents.''
All of the elements of soil fertility
are in the skimmilk-none in the but
,terfat.
Use that milk for making cheese,
and the soil fertility lost is equal to
the loss when the grain is sold and the
straw burned.
Use that milk for butter, and feed
the skim milk to hogs, using the straw
for bedding; thus practically all the
soil fertility is kept on the farm.

!, Open air schools for an anemic and
consumptive children, visiting nurses
for arrested and convalescent cases of
tuberculosis, and widespread cam
paign Of every county against the
white plague will be made possible by
the amendments to the present law
which have just been prepared by the
State Advisory commission.
The. coming week will witness he
beginning of the greatest campaign
for health ever. waged in Minnesota.
A Legislative Public Health Clearing
House committee is being organized
by the Minnesota Public Health asso-
citation to represent all the health as
sociations and other organizations in
terested in health legislation, for the
avoidance Of duplication in leglsla-
tive work. Chief Of tho things on
which this committee will work is the
appropriation for $375,000 year for
anti-tuberculosis work under the State
Advisory Commission, and amend
ments Of the present law to make pos
sible a broader work for the abolition
Of tuberculosis.
The amendments, if passed, will au-
thorize county sanatorium commits
sions to appoint one or more nurses to
visit discharged patients and see that
they are getting proper care and have
suitable work; to establish open air
schools in connection with each sana-
torium and to allow the tax levy to
be added to from year to year if Ne
cessary to maintain the sanatorium.
The law will also allow counties
which join with other counties in es-
.ablishing sanatorium, to break
away if they wish, and erect one Of
their own. The present law provides
that the state pay IS per week for
every charity patient in the county
vanatoria, which means that the ap-
nropriation Of $75O,O00 Tor two years
will be necessary if the work is to be
carried on as planned.
The legislative committee represents
she State Advisory Commission, the
Minnesota Public Health association,
the State Board of Health, State Dairy
and Food Department, State Depart
ment Of Labor, the Minnesota SAM
tary Conference, the State Medical
Society, the Minnesota Federation Of
Women's Clubs and the Minnesota
Federation Of Fraternal Women. The
committee asks that men and women
interested in the fight against tuber-
culosis, write and tell their legisla-
tors to support the bill and the appro-
priation.

BUCHANAN BEING oRooMED

6hcrburne County Star-News: For
mer Congressman 9. 4. Buchanan is
being groomed for the republican NOM
nation for congressman in this dis
trict to 'beat Liaibergh.' The lat
ter gentleman is by no means popular
with the republican politicians and it is
argued that Buchanan, with his large
following of friends throughout the
district, is the proper man to go
against him, and other aspirants are
disposed to give him a clear field.
Buchanan is a fighter and if he con-
cludes to enter the field he will surely
make it interesting.

The Ati-suffragists propose that the
question Of equal suffrage be left to
a vote Of the women. As they do not
believe in the ballot, this proposition
would seem rather inconsistent on
their part. It is said that the measure
has good chance to pass both the
senate and house which in effect will
give the male voter the right to say
whether women will be given the bal
lot on tho same terms as themselves.
Should tho legislators say that the
voter has not this right Of expression?
Va think not.

NOT SUCH A SNAP Is RIGHT

Cordelia, in Walker Pilot: A non
partisan legislature indeed. We guess
so. Everybody working for himself
and no body clse.-Ex. Such CON-
ment from the editorial press makes
us quarrelsome at once. There are
many fine men in this present legis-
laturc who, forgetful Of themselves,
have stood loyal and true to their
colors and to their people in spite of
heavy pressure brought to bear in
shape Of honors, influence and power.
It is indeed true that virtue is its own
reward for there is no other-seem-
ingly. Playing the game for the peo-
pie is not such a snap as one might
be led to suppose. Hats off, gentle
men,

THINK IT OVER

Last Grand Forks Records: The
weekly newspaper promotes the IN
terests Of the town in which it is pub
lished to such an extent that it be-
comes impossible to place an estimate
upon its worth. There is no enter
prise that does so much for the eorpo-
ration or the individual citizen as the
paper. It stands opposed to the town
knocker, the town kicker, tho town
fanatic and the town drones. It stands
for progress as against stagnation. It
is ever ready to combat the schemes
of Missionaries and as ready to aid the
constructive plans of the wise and lev
el-headed citizens. It is for the up
building Of the community. The pa
per has not yet come into its own,
however, because 1t is never appreciate
ed to the extent of it's worth by the
people at large. Yet when battles are
to be fought for town or county rush
is made to the newspaper office always
to find the loyal editor ready, frequent
ly without hope of reward. Many
other enterprises are encouraged by a
bonus, but rarely is the newspaper Of
fered any such help and still more Of
ten not given the support it is entitled
to. Communities frequently lose sight
of their real benefactor when they fail
to recognize the weekly journal as
such. The editor and his paper stand
as the bulwarks Of defense against
the attacks of evil or designing
schemes affecting the good Of the in
dividual or the town. For these and
other reasons the newspapers Of the
town and county should receive the
support Of the public at large in a
very liberal degree, for it is really
the most important business enter
prise Of the community.

During the stay the party was taken
over the line Of the Minnesota North
western Electric railway. The road,
which was started in May Of last
year, took its first official trip Octo-
Der -. The road, 20 miles long, was
built at a cost Of $4,000 per mile
with equipment of gasoline, electric
car Of the General Electric COM
pany's make. The territory through
which the limo runs is very level, re"
quiring practically no fills or cuts.
There arc two email towns along the
line and at its present terminus is the
prosperous little village Of Goodridge
with a population Of goo, built since
last September. The road is said to
be paying something on the invest
ment at this time. 1t is very plain to
see what great benefits will accrue to
Thief River Falls and the territory
along the route by the building Of this
electric line.
Thief River Falls is city built on
a good solid basis, and although but
about 1o years old has a population
of about 5000. Substantial business
buildings, schools and churches, and a
1000 auditorium owned by the city,
have been erected, the citizens are
alive to their advantages and as con-
sequence there is a general spirit Of
progress seen on every side. There are
a number Of growing industries, but
the basis Of the prosperity Of the city
is agriculture.

tions Of the city, however are two ex-
