President Harding has let the coun-
try know he is aware it is dissatis-
fled. Needless to say, it is the last
election he interprets thus.
IN an address at the opening Of the
rtgular December session Of Congress
he outlined a program which poll
ticians describe as a platform, brought
up to date from 1890.
Summarized, he recommends:
More aid to the farmers.
End Of the Railroad Labor Board;
a labor division of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, with power
to make both sides obey.
Constitutional amendments stop
ping child labor and limiting tax free
securities.
Stricter immigration laws.
Prohibition enforcement.
An effort TO learn why, when prices
producers receive are low, those con-
sumers must pay often are very
high.
Adoption of a plan to draft in time
Of need, all the country's resources
for defense.
Further negotiations in the interests
Of international peace.

perton was changed to Everglade.
The name first proposed in making
the change was Chew, for Fielder B.
Chey, an attorney then in practice
at Morris, and member Of the firm
of Brown & Chew But Mr.. Chew
did not approve of the proposal and
the name Everglade was adopted.
The town of Donnelly was first
named Douglas, probably in honor OF
Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois, Abra-
ham Lincoln's competitor for politi-
cal honors in that state. The change
to Donnelly in 1877 was in honor Of
Hon. Ignatious Donnelly, who owned
a large farm near the town. Mr..
Donnelly was one of the most prom
inent and brilliant of the public men
of the early statehood days, and down
to the time of his death in January,
1901. He served as Lieutenant Gov
ernor, and in Congress from 1853 to
1859.

Mr.. Mccarthy owned and operated,
through tenants, large farm in the
town, which was settled largely by
Irishmen, and he thought the town
properly should have an Irish name.
He first suggested Derryname, the
name of town or village in county
Kerry, Ireland, and that name was in
the bill introduced in the legislature
to effect the change. 1t was there
discovered that a previously organ
lied town in LeSueur County had
been christened by that name. and
some other name had to be found. Mr..
Mccarthy was equal to the occasion
and promptly directed the chairman
of the proper legislative committee to
strike out the letter "i", from OAR
len, and insert in it's place the letter
IN, and behold, he had coined new
word, and the town Darien became
Darnen. To hear Mccarthy pro-
nounce the new name in his rich
Irish brogue one would think the
word one of ancient Irish origin; but
its prior use either as a geographic
or personal name in Ireland or else
where has not been found in any Of
the books within my reach. Mr.. War

Society, made research with the same
result. XVII Minnesota Historical

stood, at least in Stevens County, that
the county received it's name in honor
of Col. John H. Stevens, territorial
pioneer, and the person who con-
structed the first house on the pres
emit site of Minneapolis. Col. Stevens
was one of the most prominent among
the territorial pioneers, and was hon
ored, beloved and held in the highest
esteem until his death few years
ago at his home in Minneapolis. 1t
is stated in the Historical sketch
foundin Pope and Stevens County
Album of Biography" published in
1888, that the county was named for
the Minnesota Stevens. do not
know who wrote that sketch, nor
from whom, the writer gained the in
formation. But it so appears in the
book, and expressed at the time the
understanding of the Morris and
Stevens County people. However, we
must yield to the Historical Society.
TOWNS IN STEVENS COUNTY.
While Stevens has retained it's or
county have not Jared so well. The
county contains sixteen congressional
townships, all Of which have been or
ganized and for many years dis
charged the functions Of such agen-
cies of the state. The town now
known as Swan Lake was first named
Sahlmark, in honor of A. G. Sahl-
mark, a pioneer settler Of that LOCAL
ity. He came there before the coun-
ty was organized and he and his sons
participated in the township organ1-
cation proceedings. They in common
with all the early settlers suffered
the privations and hardshfps of fro1f-
tier life, and like many of their kind
tired of the struggle, and in the early
eighties moved on in search of more
favorable fields of opportunity.
Whether the elder Sahlmark died
while a resident of the town or fol-
lowed his sons I do not know. But
subsequent to the time when they de-
parted the name of the town was
changed to Swan Lake by legislative
enactment, that name was brought
forward by Peter G. Larson, a resi-
dent of the town.
The town of Hodges was organized
under the name of Honolulu, which
was changed by the act of the legis-
lature in 1879 to it's present name, in
honor of Leonard B. Hodges of st.
Paul. Mr.. Hodges was the represen-
tative of the old First Division of the
St. Paul and Pacific Railroad Com
pany, and later of Mr.. James J. Hill,
and the st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Manitoba Railroad Company, in the
encouragement of tree planting on
the western prairies. Many a grove
of trees along the railroad right of
way, designed as "snow BREAKS" still
stand as the result Of his labor.
The town of Darnen was organized
as Darien, from the Isthmus of that
name. The name was changed to
Darnen by special act of the legisla-
ture in 1879, at the instance as re-
call the facts, of ]. c. Mccarthy of
St. Paul, known to his friends as
Jerry Mccarthy, alderman of the 9Th
ward" I am confirmed in this by
Hon. H. W. Stone, formerly Of Nor
ris and a resident Of the town, but
Morris tribune., 1922-01-27

voters of Renville County should have
the say whether Lac Qui Parle Coun-
ty should be exterminated does not
appear. The fact remains, however,
that they were given that right by
the statute providing the new boun-
daries, and they ratified and approx
ed the change.
Whether 1t was intended thus to
extinguish Lac Qui Parle, or whether
the lines of the new counties were
drawn without proper information as
to the boundaries of that county does
not appear. But such was the result.
Subsequently some one evidently
started in search of Lac Qui ParIe
County but without success. 1t had
disappeared. To remedy the situa-
tion the Legislature in 1871 created
the present Lac Qui Parle County out
of territory west of the Minnesota
River, thus gratifying the wishes of
those who wanted a county of that
name. Pierce and Newton Counties
seem to have suffered the same
method of destruction, but there was
no revival act subsequently restoring
them to life, as in the case of Lac
Qui Parle.
But no particular confusion or diff
ficulty arose in the administration
of public affairs by the overlapping
of county lines or the overnight wip-
| ing out of existing counties, for few
of them were organized, and many
were paper counties only. Some, like
Seward County created in 1874, were
subject to ratification or rejection by
the voters, and were not approved at
the election. St. Anthony County was
included in the second legislative
distrist by Chapter 4, Laws 1855, but
I have found no act creating a coun-
ty of that name. Heating County
was made the north and west boun-
dairy of Stearns County; but there
was no Heating County. Ripley
County, created in 1850, McPhail in
1866, Franklin County in 1872 and
Candy County in 1879 were never or
ganized and fell by the wayside.
STEVENS COUNTY.
Stevens County was created and it's
boundaries defined by act Of the state
legislature at the session of 1862,
along with Pope, Grant, Traverse,
Chippewa and the original Lac Qui
Parle, and the acts creating them
were reenacted in the statutory re-
vision of 1865. Until formally or
ganized in 1871, some eight years af-
ter it was so created, Stevens County
was attached to either Douglas or
Pope County for judicial and general
administrative purposes. Like many
Of the other counties, named for some
distinguished parsonage of the state
or nation, it was named, according
to publication recently issued by
the State Historical Siciety, in honor
of Isaac I. Stevens, who headed a
commission in the late f1fties for the
survey of line of railroad from Min
nesota to the Pacific Coast. He per-
formed his task and the Northern
Pacific Railroad was subsequently
constructed on the route substantial
ly as surveyed by his commission. He
later became Governor of the terri
tory of Washington. But there has
been misunderstanding on this sub
ject. 1t has heretofore been under

Stepping Into the Breach

The refusal of the anthracite op-
orators to join with the miners in in
viting Federal investigation Of
freight rates and the cost of market
ing coal exposes them to injurious
differences, 1t is also further testi-
mony that there is little likelihood of
a settlement being made without
outside interference.
The deadlock between the opera
tors and miners which has existed
since the strike seems certain to last
until the government steps in. Mr.
Hoover, it is understood, in consul
tation with the President. has de-
vised plan Of settlement. But Mr..
Harding is not yet convinced that an
emergency exists which warrants it's
being put into effect But why wait
for the emergency when its ap-
preaching footsteps are plainly
heard?
1T cannot be too often emphasized
that whatever the scheme for set
Ting the trouble its execution will
require much time. However much
material may already be in the
hands of Mr.. Hoover, the task of
winnowing it is so large as to be i'm
possible Of accomplishment over
night.
To-day marks the beginning Of the
sixth week of the strike. Nothing
has happened since it started to
show that the government can es-
cape ultimate interference. Why de-
fer action? Why not forestall seri-
Gus trouble?

Give EN- Kind Words

Mrs. Frederick Hosmer, speaking
to the Congress of Mothers, asked
for cessation of the continued crit
csm of the younger generation "Our
young people are constantly under
public condemnation she said
"Lecturers and writer's and news
papers are busy with the foibles and
failings Of the younger generation.
Why cannot they see that this crit
cism is very bad psychology for the
young people? We will never accom-
plish anything with them if we abuse
them continualy.'
The development Of young people
cannot help but be interfered with
to an absurd extent by the practice
of keeping their doings in the public
eye. Yet the fiapper and hippcr of
to-day probably differ little in fun
damentals from the youngsters of
the past generation. They merely
NNNP otCP Will tIldllSjlS IdSlllOIS.
The parent generation does not con-
denim itself because it is not like it's
own predecessor; nor do the chill
dren, more attuned to change, con-
stantly throw up the virtues Of
grandfather to father. They laugh
at their parents, but give them
chance so long as they don't inter
fere. 1t is the parents who are ag-
gressive.
SO bestow few kind words on the
rising generation. Don't be forever
hammering them. 1t does no good
only irritates them and makes them
worse. The elders should have phi
losophy enough to submit to the un-
escapable. There is as much family
government now as ever before, the
only innovation being that possibly
it has changed hands.

Getting On With the Job

The Transit Commission, speak
ing softly but carrying a big stick,
really has got subway and elevated
improvements under way This has
been accomplished, first. by the pos
session Of authority adequate to en-
force orders and, second, by thor
ough understanding by the commits
sioners of the problem which it con-
fronted.
When one considers how many
things must be done in order so much
as to start on this gigantic Job the
utter hopelessness of PROCESS with
out unified control becomes apparent,
Within a week the commission has
issued and secured the compliance
with orders to add $50 trains to the
subway system by May 81, prepared
orders to the Consolidated Railroad
Company for similar improvements
and averted the 10-cent fare that
would naturally follow the separa-
ton Of the lines of the New York
and Queens County systems a part
of which is to go into the hands of
receiver.
The commission has been continu-
ally hampered by opposition from
the city administration and by re
luctance on the part Of some of the
transit companies to comply with it's
orders 1t has been fortunate in
both instances in having the author
lty OF the state, represented by Gov
ernor Miller, steadily behind it.
SO long has the transit situation
been neglected that for a time hope
for any genuine Improvement seemed
vain. Only centered control, cx-
erclsed by men competent to do the
job, could have accomplished any
thing. 1t is now clear that Gov
ernor Miller knew exactly what he
was doing when he advocated the
present system and that the result
will Justify his rather forceful and
misunderstood methods of putting it
into effect.
