AS the principal complaint in re

that il was being loaded" with em-

and causing expenditures OF unncc-
cssary funds on the part of the state.
he work of the committee in regard
this department was largely alons
the lines of such Investigation. They
went back to the beginning Of the
it through those of David Eastman,
G. j. Beach, G.. C. pokken, f. f..
Brinker, and Fred Hepperlee.
The work OF the department is not
criticised in any amer up to the
administration OF c. j. Beach, where
The committee found that at the
close of the fiscal year the clerks
of the department We're allowed
$176.70 in addition TO their regular
salaries, which was declared to be
for extra work occasioned by a
shortage in the clerical force. They
found the same condition under the
administration of O. c. Doklien, the
excess payments being $1T5 in 1908,
which is also criticised. The same
condition resulted in excess payments
at the close of 1909, OF $2S5, which
the committee says Mr.. Dokken ex-
planned as "a practice which had be
come customary, not only in the office
of the commissioner of lands, but in
several other offices of the state"
This is a policy which the committee
declares looked too much like cut
ting a Melon At the close OF the
1910 fiscal ear the excess payments
were SOS. Under Commissioner
Brinker at the close of 1911, the ex-
cess payments We're $2S9.32, and the
mileage allowance of the department
vas all eaten up except SIS cents.
They criticise a payment in 1911
for killing of prairie dogs, which
they think was outside the jurisdic-
ton of the department.
Glasner Paid While Candidate
They also criticise the employment
in 1911, of Frank p. Glasner as q
file clerk. and George w. Roskie, as
state forester, both having been men,
bers of the legislature OF that year.
They further criticise the fact that
Frank p. Glasner was kept upon the
pay roll as a clerk at the same time
he was conducting a primary cam
paign for the. position of nominee for
secretary of state, as such a oondi-
ton would lead to more attention
being paid to campaign work than
to the interests of the state.

RAILROAD LOSES
IMPORTANT CASE
SUPREME COURT HOLDS RECEIv.
ING ROAD FOR DAMAGES
1a'E On ROAD FIRST
HANDLING SHIPMENT.

Pierre. $. Din the opinion by
Justice Mccoy, of the supreme court
TO-DAY, the lower court of Brown
county is sustained in the case of
George 7. Elliott VS.. Chicago. Mil
waukec d st. Paul Railway
The contention in the case is that
of the liability OF a railway company
Whleh accepts a shipment of freight
from another company. In this case
hlliett shipped q car of horses from
Grand Island, Nebraska to Aberdeen
South Dakota, the initial shipment
being Owe the Union Pacific Railway
and the CIR delivered to the defend
ant read az Council Bluffs. The suit
was for damages in the amount of
$1,000 claimed TO have been through
neglect OF the defendant company.
The dtense put up was that the
Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Paul
company was acting only as an agent
for he Union Pacific in the ship
ment. and any suit for recovery must
be against the read on which the in
itial shipment was made.
IN regard 10 this Justice Mccoy
says: The first contention of APP
pellant is that no CONSTITUTIONAL re-
lations existed between plaintiff and
~ ilos tiiR . llS
agent of the initial carrier for the
purpose OF carrying out the initial
carriers contract with the plaintiff;
and that, as such agent, it is liable
only to its principal, the Union Pa
ciiic Railway company, and is not
liable to the plaintiff in this action.
We are of the view hat this con-
tention is not tenable. When defend
ant accepted and undertook to carry
said property from Council Bluffs
to Aberdeen, it thereby, implidly at
least made itself subject to the pro-
visions of said contract, and became
liable for its own negligent acts in
relation to said property
The contention hat the Croninger
case in the United States supreme
court governed the present case, is
held net to be tenable, and Justice
Mccoy says: IF the connecting car
r.er cannot be sued at all it would
produce in some instances a most I'M
cccsioDable and unreasonable state
OF affairs. A shipment of merchan-
disc might be started over the line
of an initial carrier in the state of
Massachusetts destined to some ship
per at some point in this state, and
some injury occur in this state at or
near the destination point. All the
evidence and all the witnesses might
be situated in this state. 1t would
amount to practical denial of justice
TO compel d shipper, or the connect
ing carrier, to take the evidence and
the witnesses all the way to Massa-
chusetts and wait around in the
courts there until the case might be
tried. The result of holding hat
only the initial carrier can be sued
is loaded with some very drastic and
deplorable results"
Justice Whiting concurs specially
with he finding of Justice Mccoy.
Justice Smith dissents, basing his
view on the Croninger case, anc
holding that il applies to the CASE ac
issue, ard the proper party to bring
action against is the initial carrier
which receives the shipment. Justice
Gates concurs with Justice Smith.

AFFECTED FARMER.

How has the European war af-
fected the American farmer?
During the first year Of the war,
exports of agricultural products in
creased thirty-eight per cent. The
stimulus of Increased exports result
ed in three and four-tenths per cent
inrcease in average. During the year
grain exports were particularly high
and cotton exports we're particularly
low.
In excess of the amount required
at home, America could spare for ex-
ports this year, 375,000,000 bushels
of wheat, 25O,OOO,000 bushels of
corn, 100000 bales of cotton, 200,
100000 bushels of oats and $780,
100000 worth of meat and dairy
products.

DEFECTIVE BABY DIES.

Down in Chicago a deformed sub
normal infant is dead as the result
of the decision of Chicago doctor
and the infants parents. It was
agreed between them to let the child
die from lack of nutrition. 1t was de-
cided just because the child was de-
formed and would be feeble minded
and crippled.
Deformity, while terrible thing,
is not sufficient cause for ordering
death.
Whether or not the child is de-
formed and an idiot does not enter in
to the question of whether or not the
child should have been allowed to
live. It is the duty of every doctor
and every parent to save life in every
case where it is possible.

THE ASSOCIATIONS BIG JOB.

The baby quite we'll grown, is go
ing back home. On December and
10 the Northern Minnesota Develop
ment association will meet at Be-
midi. 1t can then review it's &C
complishments and take new grip
on big job.
The fixed program is short, for
which all should be thankful. In
connection with the meeting there
will be potato exhibit to close the
boys and girls eighth of-an-acre
contest. There will also be poultry
show. Potatoes and chickens make
a good Northern Minnesota combina-
ton.
But the big work of the conven-
ton will be to organize a campaign
to carry amendment No. at the cleo
ton in 1916. This is the most i'm
portant measure for this section Of
the state that has ever been pro-
posed. It is more important than
was reapportionment, which this as
ISOLATION fought to a happy conclu-
sion.
This amendment No. / to the state
constitution takes the place of amend
ment No. 3, which was on the ballot
at the last election; but it is in bet
ter form and more complete. 1t then
provided for a rotating fund of
$250,000 for draining, road building
and fire breaks on state lands.
To this has been added clearing,
which for settlement is as important
as drainage or roads. If this amend
ment is adopted the state can then
clear a portion of every tract offered
for sale. The settler can go on to
this land and begin to farm at once;
he can at once support his family
from the land.
1t will add a great inducement for
the state to sell it's lands in offerings
of compact tracts. This means COM
munity settlement, the purchase by
settlers of contiguos tracts which will
form a compact neighborhood. It will
be the end of isolated settlement that
ends so often in abandonment or in
sanity.
The association should concentrate
it's efforts to carry this amendment.
In every county which it includes
there should be house to house cam
paign in each township. There will
be plenty of help from the Red River
Valley and the southern and central
parts Of the state, if asked with sys-
tenn back Of the request, but this help
must not be taken for granted.
This association should send dele
gates to both the central and south
ern associations. It should work for
an organization in each of their
counties. It can certainly organize
both St. Paul and Minneapolis where
the favorable sentiment is strong.
Indeed the Bemidji meeting should
start with what should be the most
thorough campaign ever made in the
state for a constitutional amend
ment. 1t is Northern Minnesota
child and it is for this part of the
state to see that it is not again left
outside on the doorstep.-Duluth

ADVERTISING Blythe
UP TO SHERIFF.

The raid of Federal officers and city
authorities on a soft drink parlor in
this city Tuesday evening revealed
the fact that a deputy sheriff, man
with trusted position, was con-
Quoting an unlicensed liqour place
Whether or not this deputy was &C.
tive does not mar the fact that it
was up to him to abide by his oath
to uphold the laws.
AS long as Beltrami county has
such men in office a spirit of lawless-
ness will continue. A man who
pleads guilty of conducting an un-
licensed drinking place or any other
violation of law should not be main
tanned as a county officer.
It is time for action and it is up
to you, Mr. Sheriff, to see that this
action is taken.
The people of Beltrami county de-
mand that you act.

A WIDOWS TOWN.

Sand Springs, Okla, was built for
widows. They compose more than
a fourth of the. 5000 population. The
town was founded by Charles Page,
multi millionaire oil producer Of
Tulsa. His earliest recollections
were of his. mothers efforts to raise
her large family unaided and he re-
solved that when he, grew up he
would take care of all the widows.
When he made his fortune, Page
began to find employment, for wild
ows in Tulsa. They became so ,nu-
merous he decided to. build a town
for them. So. he founded Sand
Springs. He built dozens of COM
Portable, cottages. in which, gas, fuel
and rent were free. Factories = he
brought so the widows might have
employment. He built a car line 10
Tulsa upon which widows ride; free.
There is day nursey, free medical
attendance and a vocational school.
If a widow wants to get married Page
helps her do that. He likes grand
mothers, too. There is a score of
them in Sand Springs with nothing
to do but knit and read and, remin-
isce. ..,. ... ;.
Page, probably, has more children
than. any other man in the world.
An. orphans home in a nearby town
recently went. bankrupt. To. better
provide, for the little inmates, Page
legally adopted, the whole tnstitu-
ton and moved it to Sand Springs.
