The snatch racket as it is
called has played havoc with
the wealthy in st. Paul in the
past eight months. William
Hamm was mulcted to the
amount of 100000, then
Bremen was taken for $780,
900. In 1882, Haskell Bohn
was kidnapped and his family
paid $4,000 for his freedom.
Verne Sankey was credited
with the Bohn coup. Sankey
afterwards hanged himself.
Then Morris Rutman was re-
leased on the payment of
$4,000. Leon Gleckman, a St.
Paul finance company head
paid 100000 to kidnapers in
1881. Now comes U. S. At
torney General Cummings and
has started an interior war with
Twin City officials with his
statement that the Twins are
rotten and advises a cleanup.
We still maintain that a mill
tary court martial and a firing
squad would do wonders in
such a situation.

His name had been banded
about as an opponent to Sena-
tor Henrik Shipstead but the
governors action in filing for
reelection to the Office he now
holds, puts to rest the senator
ial rumors. Governor Olson
stated he would like to finish,
as nearly as possible, many
tasks undertaken during my ad-
ministration and that if the
people of the state believe /
am worthy of reelection as
governor, l will be glad to serve
them again"

Meaning of "E Pluribu. Unum"

"E Pluribus Unum" is Latin
phrase meaning lone from many" The
phrase appears originally in poem
entitled "Moretum" generally credited
to Vergil. 1t was part of the design
of the Great Seal of the United States
and thus became our motto and sub
seQuently was placed on many Of our
coins. 1t is taken to mean that we are
one nation of many states.

Heat and Temperature

Heat is due to very rapid motions
OF the minute particles, called mole
cules, of which bodies are composed
1t Is not substance, but is form Of
energy. 1t may be transferred from
one body to another. Heat Of various
degrees or intensities may exist, and
these intensities are measurable. Tenn
perature is general term applied to
express intensity or degree of heat. II
is thus said that the temperature OF
the body Is high or low, according as
the body is hot or cold.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1910 see
the spotless reputation of national
hero put in an unfavorable light before
the country is always cause for regret.
Minnesota has always had a pardon
able pride in Col. Lndbergh because
this state was his boyhood home. His
father was a distinguished and able
Congressman from Minnesota. We
should not be too nasty in passing un-
favorable judgment upon this out
standing son of our state. The tele-
gram which he addressed TO the Presi-
dent was probably indiscreet, but is it
not fair to assume that Lindbergh had
little to do with the whole matter?
He no doubt acted upon the advice of
men he would naturally trust in the
position which he occupied. His ex-
perierce as public character, outside
of aviation, has been very limited and
upon the whole, as far as we now know,
he has ever since he became known to
the world as one of. its foremost men,
conducted himself with becoming
molesty and with reserve that has
commanded our respect and consider
alton.
1t appears that twenty airnail con-
tracts were i'm force prior to the recent
cancellations. ALI but two of these
contracts, held by different concerns,
were controlled by four holding COM
panies that, by reason of stock owner
ship, held a whip hand over the whole
outfit. 1t is easy to see that fair COM
petition, so far as bidding ON mail
contracts is concerned, was substantially
strangled by that sort of control. It is
not difficult to see that the masters
holding this control could sit down with
Postmaster General Brown in secret
session and arrange for a deal which
Postmaster General Farley has rebuked
as fraud against the nation Those
who expect to do business with this
government should learn that the game
must be played on the square If we
are to have subsidies let us have them
in the open, so we know what they are.
Some Interesting Figures.
When few days ago the Government
wanted to obtain $500, 10000 1T was
offered $3,617 900 000-over to 1! APP
parently there is still plenty of money
in the country and the credit of the
Government still is good. Let those
who predicted disorder when we left
the gold standard and again when we
revalued gold, consider the fact. The
lesson is plain. Bank failures are
thing of the past and money put in the
hands of banks are now safe. Much

Today S Science
BY DAVID DIETZ :

A MERICA today must get ready for the worlds
"a greatest battle against the processes of I'M
restrained erosion else resign itself TO becoming
the worlds outstanding example of subsoil farming
with all its attendant evils Of poverty, declining
social and economic values and hopeless outlook
II H. Bennett director Of the soil erosion service
of the United States department Of the interior calls
the attention of he nation to the situation.
The unrestrained action of wind. rain and flowing
water is carrying away three billion tons of soil
material annually doing damage estimated at s400-
100000 year.
Immigrants TO the American continent found
region so rich land, timber grass, game fish, fur
and navgable streams that there early developed in
this country false concept of lnexhaustible re-
sources" he says
WE have tremendous area Of land in this
w country. Mr.. Bennett says but 1t is not all
good land.
In addition he calls attention to highly i'm
pcrtant fact The average depth of humlls-charged
surface soil over the uplands of the United States
is only seven eight inches. Underneath this lies,
for the most part, raw clay subsoil.
It took nature thousands of years to develop that
thin layer of topsoil. Once it is gone It will take
thousands of years TO replace It.
The Union of South Africa, Italy and Japan have
all seen the need of curbing soil erosion and have
launched elaborate programs to do so The ltahan
plan contemplates an expenditure Of $500 100000.
America in Mr. BENEFITS opinion, must folio"
the example of these countries.
THE United States, as matter Of fact has begun
Il to give attention to the problem The soil ero-
sion service of the department Of the interior was
organized during the latter part Of 1898 with an al
lotment of sl00O00O0 from the public works admin
istration.
II was formed, according to Mr.. Bennett Tor the
purpose of demonstrating the practical possibilities
of curbing erosion and It's allied evils Of increased
floods and costly sitting of stream channels and
reservoirs operating within the various important
and agricultural regions where these evils
are known to constitute major problems
The general plan Of procedure, as suggested oy
President Roosevelt is to complete watersheds.
Twenty-one watersheds ranging IN size from 2ouOO
to 200 900 acres now are under treatment

In fact, this entire third group
was success. financially and
eSthetically.
Five low-cost apartment houses,
intended mainly for unmarried
stenographers, clerks and the like,
were also built, completing the
housing needs of the town.
A LII the houses are owned by
"A the IVA and none is for sale.
The lowest rent is $12 a month. A
unit in duplex house and some
of the apartments rent for that.
Of the single family houses, the
lowest rental is found in some OF
the second group-S14.50. The
range in this group is up to $20.50
and the average is $3.50.
The lost-cost but more attrac-
tive third group rent for 500, while
in the first group the average is
$3088 and ranges from $24 to S45.
Chairman A. E. Morgan lives in
one of the S45 houses, as do some
of the other officials.

not taxes, and that states should
develop their own systems while
leaving investment of reserve
funds to the federal government,
had been foreshadowed in his
message to congress.
However. some of his advisors
disagreed sharply with him. Chair
man Frank P. Graham of the ad-
viSory council said at the White
House that the necessities of
the case require federal action al
though the states we'll may
be charged with part of the cost OF
management" He pointed out that
since industry in each state is
forced TO compete with the in
dustries OF other states. it has
been and is still very difficult for
the states to act independently
and individually in providing
social insurance.
CENATOR WAGNER still IA
~ vors the form of unemploy-
ment insurance contained in his
last wears measure, levying
federal tax on employers not
participating in compulsory state
insurance plans. He may. how
ever. introduce the admlnlstra-
ton bill when il is completed.
Thomas Kennedy argued. at the
conference. that interstate COM
petitive conditions might be dis
located without a nationwide in
surance system. and that other
wise costs could not be equalized
as between different sections OF
the country.
At the same meeting Professor
Paul H. Douglas of the University
of Chicago pointed out that the
federal government should provide
means whereby eligible workers,
moving from state TO state, would
not lose their claim TO DEMENT'S. He
stressed the need of federal re-
insurance fund TO help protect
states which, because of their in
dustries. are subject 10 cyclical
hazards.
One of the most troublesome
questions yet 10 be settled con-
Germs worker contributions. Will
liam Green. president of the
American Federation of Labor,
will fight for guarantees that
workers shall not pay into IN
surance funds. He argues that
industry will pass its part OF the
burden on to consumers, and that
workers as consumer. will pay
their share. In any other arrange
ment he sees a double burden on
labor.

gists have evolved an ingenious
maneuver.
Instead of the President issuing
an order before the referendum is
held. he will say nothing until the
results of the ballot are known.
Then, if a two thirds vote is OBJ
tanned, he will come forward with
a proclamation declaring that an
emergency exists, decree the law
operative for the 1885 crop.
Now you see it, and I now you
don't.

A PIGEON once played an i'm

construction of the Washington
monument.
Abandoned during the Civil war.
the shaft was left half completed
at a height of 1873 feet. When
work was resumed in 1878, the
roof had caved in, and all tackle
had crumbled to dust. There was
no way TO reach the top again.
A workman suggested that
cotton cord be tied 10 the leg of a
pigeon, which would be set loose
inside the monument and driven
upwards by discharging guns be-
low.
The device was tried, and
worked When the bird emerged
at the top. 1t perched a while,

he would have been able to establish himself in
very substantial way while still a college boy
However, for the seductive advantages which were
held out to Mr. Micka by Senator Long there are
serious penalties to be considered Worst of ALL is the
stigma which attaches to membership in the Louisi-
ana legislature Your correspondent heard of one
statesman in Baton Rouge who had migrated from
Alabama. where his father was respectable town
drlnkard and his mother an honored inmate OF the
county poorhouse. Being recognized one day by
boyhood friend from his old home town me begged
him not to tell his parents that he was member
of the Louisiana state legislature.

Mr. Mickal has had the advantage of propin-
guilty during his college experience and doubtless
knows what membership in the legislature means.
He has had many opportunities to observe the char
acter of the members and if he is the honest youth
that he seems to be, then the Office which Senator
Long tried to thrust upon him when his back was
turned will have seemed TO him less an honor than
a disgrace

several times higher than that
prevailing in this section.
The result was that the cost
was about double the announced
price, and less than half of the
total number of houses needed
had been built. A drastic reduce
ton in the price of the remaining
houses was ordered.
For this second group new
type of house was decided on. 1t
was built of cinder concrete
blocks. There were eighty houses
iii this group, half of one story
: and the other two-story. Archi-
lecture was of the simplest.
The interior finish, like the ex-
terror, was-a coat of paint on the
cinder blocks. They we're wired
for electrical equipment, but were
not equipped with electric heat
ers; instead, a wood or coal range
and hot water tank we're pro-
vided.
These houses were intended
mainly for workers with smaller
incomes, and no chance could be
taken with the uncertain cost of
electric heating until it had been
tried out in the other houses.
This group was truly low-cost
hOuSing-they averaged about half
as much as the first group-but
still the architect and the IVA
officials we're not satisfied. The
cost was low but the houses were
not pretty.
MORE houses were needed, so
1V1 a third attempt was made.
The object now was to combine
low cost with attractiveneSS. This
last group called for f1fty-nine
one-story houses of cinder block
and wood. ten of them duplex and
the remaining forty-nine Single
family dwellings.
A group of unemployed stone
masonS asked a chance to build
stone houses.
Ordinarily a stone house costs
twice as much as one of wood or
brick. But the StonemaSonS
pointed out that the stone could
be taken from quarry right on
the iva property and they prom
Used that their house would cost
no more than the others in the
group. iva officials took them at
their word, put the TWAS own
labor relations man in charge. and
let them build a house.
The StonemaSons kept the house
within the $500 limit set, and
IVA officials we're so pleased they
let them build four more houses
like the first.
