MINNESOTA OPPORTUNITIES.
(By Minneapolis Journal.)

(By Minneapolis Journal.)
When land in the cultivated part
of Minnesota sells at from one to
two hundred dollars an acre, there
is reason. The reason is produc-
tiveness. The state has little over
two million people, of whom six hun
dred thousand live in Minneapolis
and St. Paul.
There is room for a quick placing
of five hundred thousand people in
the northern part of Minnesota, if
the state would rouse out of its
lethargy and get busy. The years
pass-one, two, three. four, five, ten
without any practical move. The
politicians twitter about drainage and
other things, and that is all they do
-twitter. How long will the people
stand it?
The state needs leadership. The
killing of parties has killed leader
ship. We send individuals to the
legislature who have no adaptability
for leadership, and they pass on these
great questions. The mind of many
legislators is centered, more on the
breweries than on serving. the state
We have become a state under the
control of beer-makers. What we
need, instead, is leadership. :.-.-..
Five years have, been spent on eff
cheney in administration, and we still
have no efficiency in administration.
We allow our state officials to sit as
tight as a drum, when the Efficiency
commission is asking suggestions. It
is time to get busy.
A good, live legislature would do
more in one year than the state has
done in ten years toward opening
these northern counties to quick set
tlement. It is no fun to pioneer the
Wilderness The state must get out
with some stump-pullers and build
some roads and show some life If it
wants new people. The days of pio-
neers are past.
We want quicker results. We get

WHITEHEAD is APPOINTED
GAINESVILLE Man Temporary State Chair
man of Peace League-WilI Call
Meeting Soon.

Janesville.-John M. Whitehead,
former state senator, has been asked
by former President Taft to become
temporary chairman of the Wisconsin
branch Of the League to Enforce
Peace, and has accepted. He has
written Taft asking for more details
as to plan of organization contem-
plated in Wisconsin.
Senator Whitehead is not one of
those who believe in "peace at any
price," but has been believer in ar
bitration in case of disagreement be-
tween nations. He was one of the
signers of the original petition for a
world congress for peace.
1t is understood that within a short
time the temporary chairman will
call together members of the league
who are residents of Wisconsin to
form a regularly constituted state
committee, and elect a permanent
state chairman. 1t is the plan then
to follow with the organization of
county committees, with county
chairmen and other officers CORE
spending closely to those, in political
organizations.

PREMIUM WINNERS MUST WAtT
UNTIL APPROPRIATION
is AVAILABLE.
N0RGORD OBTAINS RULING
Under New Law Money Cannot be Dor.
rowed to Meet Claims According
to the Opinion of Attorney
General Owen.

Madison.-The state board of agri-
culture has no way of getting money
to pay the premiums awarded at the
1914 state fair until after the taxes
are collected and the appropriation
made by the last legislature becomes
available, according to an opinion
given by Attorney General w. G.
owen to Commissioner Norgord of
the department, of agriculture.
Heretofore it has been the prac-
tice of the state board of agriculture
to borrow money to pay the premi-
ums and repay it when the revenues
were available. Under the new law
creating the department of agricul-
ture this can not be done, according
to the attorney general.
In his letter to the attorney gen.
eral, Commissioner Norgord calls at
tention to the fact that people who
have been awarded premiums natur-
ally become anxious about this time
OF year, and that their complaints of
failure to pay requires much CORE
spondence and takes up much of the
time of the clerical force that might
otherwise be profitably employed.
Under the opinion of the attorney
general it will be necessary for pre-
MUM winners to wait until some
time in February for payment.

MAIL CLERKS MAKE PROTEST
Recent Order Requiring Them to
Make Their Residences Either in
Chicago or Minneapolis.

Portage mail clerks re-
siding at intermediate state points
are entering protests against the sys-
tenn inaugurated by the postoffice de-
partment which requires them to
make their residences either in Chi
cago or Minneapolis. There are
about twenty-five clerks who have
homes in Portage, and a mass meet
ing was held at the city hall in which
the business mems association joined,
and resolutions of protest will be for
warded Senators La Toilette and
Husting, as well as Congressman
Burke and Esch. 1t appears that
many of the clerks by the present ar
rangement of runs are required to
"dead-head" back from Chicago to
their homes in Portage and Water
town and then return to Chicago to
take their run to Minneapolis.

replied: / have not had headache

months ago, till last week, when / be-

way, after drinking Postum!'
Il said nothing, but at once ordered
package of Postum. That was five
months ago, and we have drank no
coffee since, except on two occasions
when we had company, and the result
each time was that my husband could
not sleep, but lay awake and tossed
and talked half the night. We were
convinced that coffee caused his suf-
fering, so he returned to Postum, con-
vinced that coffee was an enemy, in-
stead of friend, and he is troubled
no more by insomnia.
