Discovery of important positions for
the politically faithful made front page
news this week as another country
editor took his turn at looking at the
inside of the capitol.
Problem No. for the state admins
tratlon has been what to do with Pat
rick j. Delaney, the st. Paul man who
won Farmer-Labor thanks for running
out" as Democratic candidate for the
Senate in favor of Ernest Lundeen.
Solution of that problem came this
week from federal sources, as Delaney
received appointment as special agent
Of the Bituminous Coal Commission,
working under the Guffey Act, with a
nice salary said to be in the neighbor-
hood of 100000 per year.
But overshadowing Delaney's appoint
ment was the reaffirmation of the
rumor that Carl G. Carlgren, former ST..
Paul carpenter and contractor, who is
now chairman of the State Board of
Control, would be named warden of
Saltwater prison, succeeding the late

Are Mimi. Farmers for C. /. O.?
Speculation Is rife around Capitol Hill
as to the purpose of the state wide farm
conference which Governor Benson has
called for October 4th in st. Paul. So
far, however, little explanation has been
given. At a meeting in Minneapolis
last Saturday the governor set out to
explain the purpose of this forthcoming
parley but after a few words on the
subject devoted his entire remarks to
unqualified abuse of the states news
papers and the state senate. He stated
that the owners of most of the states
newspapers edo not believe in democracy
and never did" He also added that
these same newspaper owners do not
believe in the Declaration of indie
pendence and never did," The result of
this was that the meeting ended with
the purpose of the farm conference
still unexplained.
Some possible light on the subject can
be seen, however, from the conference
of national farm leaders in New York
City, Sept. "a, where John Bosch of
Atwater, Mimi, president of the Ma
tional Farm Holiday association, urged
the formation of a national farmer
labor party along the lines suggested
by John L. Lewis, G. I. 0. chief in a
recent address. Bosch stood alone in
his support for the Lewis idea, how
ever, with all other national farm lead
ers present stolid in opposing affiliation
with G. I. o.
r. F. Sans, Jr., honorary life presi-
dent of the Georgia Vegetable Growers
association stated: 81 wouldn't think
the farmers would be so much in
terested. think Mr.. Lewis Is the only
one thinking about it, trying to get
elected president"
Whether or not John Bosch can or
will push the c. I. o. utilization idea at
the meeting of farmers in st. Paul re-
mains to be seen but he is certainly
working in close cooperation with Gov
ernor Benson in connection with the
meeting and will undoubtedly be prom
lnent in the discussions.

Spider Spinning Web to
Trap Bird Dies In Wait.

Ortonville-A spider was waiting for
the kill and it's victim who was a full
grown humming bird, but the miniature
one sided survival of the fittest" BATTLE
was stopped by a BIB shot from the air
rifle of Richard Karn who killed the
spider before it had a chance to feast
on its prey. An unusual occurrence for
spiders to attack such a large prey,
the humming bird had apparently been
taken unawares after it had accidently
flown into the garage of DR.. B. r.
Karn and the large spider had deity
spun its web around the bird SO that
it was suspended, wings folded back
ward, completely enmeShed in the web
below an electric wire. Web completed,
the spider waited a foot away for the
bird to die. The Harms reported that
according to appearances the bird had
been bitten. And so it was that the
bird and spider were found. The hum
ming bird died shortly after it was re-
leased from its prison

The ousting of James r. Landy a
collector of internal revenue in Mime
sofa is matter which concerns tn
national administration but the change
and counter charges which reverberat'
around the Landy dismissal bring on
clearly the seeming disregard for thu
merit system which exists in present da!
government and which has such strik
ing counterpart at Capitol Hill in st
Paul.
| Many observers are predicting thai
the principal charge which the Benson
administration and the Abe Harris,
Roger Rutchick-Art Jacobs combina-
ton will have to face in the next cleo
ton is their Haunting of the merit
system among state employees. The
disclosures in the Landy case that en-
ployees supposedly working for the tax
payers have to pay for appointments
and "kick in" part of their salaries to
political party in order to hold then
jobs is not a pleasant picture. These
same sort of charges have often been
made against the present state adj
ministration and it is charge almost
certain to dominate all other issues In
the 1888 election.
A. F. of L. Scores House Action
Evidence of the reaction to the state
administrations use of the spoils Sys-
tenn is seen in report read at the
recent American Federation of Labor
convention in Hibbing. The report re-
cites the history of labor's civil service
bill in the last legislature where 1t was
passed unanimously by tn conservative
senate but smothered and killed by the
administration controlled house.
The A. F. of L. report concludes with
this blunt statement: 1.-THE action of the
Cloquet convention instructing its OFF,
GERS to secure civil service for state en-
ployees was defeated by the leadership
of the House"
State administration leaders make no
secret of their reasons for opposing
civil service. They admit frankly that
a civil service law would deprive them
of the whip they now hold over state
employees-the fear of losing their
jobs-which whip enables them to col
lect party funds and require party work
from these employees.
The question arises of course in the
minds of many people-Are state en-
ployees working for the taxpayers who
pay them, or is the state treasury being
used merely for the support of party
workers and the building of campaign
funds for political party. The ques-
ton next year when the present state
administration comes before the people
of this state for renwed support.
This whole matter was discussed by
State Senator M. R. eastman last week
in an address at Owatonna where he
said that the state of Minnesota is now
supporting $4,000 jobholders and that
if all measures that leaders of the

Jacobs advocates reelection of John
T. Bernard, new statewide organizer
for the c. I. o. as congressman in the
Eighth district, and boosts Harold H
Barker of Elbow Lake, speaker of the
house at the recent session, for lieuten-
ant governor. He also makes an inter-
esting comment on the attorney gen.
erals position:
William S. Erwin, serving under ap-
pointment as attorney general, will, of
course, seek the endorsement of the
Farmer-Labor convention where he is
likely to have opposition from those
who feel that this post should go to
one more active in party affairs" Such
a "one," Jacobs feels, might be Senator
George H. Lommen of st. Louis county.

used to replace the piping between the
hot water heating element and the tank.
Some of it is even extended beyond the
! tank.
Nickle and copper alloy, monel metal
| and other such corrosive resisting
metals are more and more showing up
| in replacement of the galvanized iron
tanks and they are proving effective
though costly. 1t can be clearly seen
that they will not completely solve the
trouble as all metals are attacked to
some extend by corrosion. In some in
stances where such installments are
made, the original trouble maker re-
mains; that is the cast iron heating
element in the form of laundry stove
or kitchen range. Naturally if these
heating units still produce excessively
hot water, they continue to produce red
water.
From our observations we can state
that the life of galvanized iron pipe
with corrosive water is no longer than
the galvanized coating. When this
coating is broken in pipe cutting and
threading corrosion begins at these
points.
In making a general summary state
ment on the subject of PHI and cor
roSion as associated with our water sup
ply we find a connecting link with peat
boys and both outside and inside cor
roSion. The spring thaws and rains,
raise the water level of our lake and we
get flushing of an acid water from
low lying marsh lands adjoining the
lake and thus drop in PHI. No doubt
these boys play considerable part in
giving our raw water an organic con-
tent which breaks down into organic
acid compounds in our hot water heat
ing systems.
Where pipes are laid in this peat
land, we get an outside corrosion due to
the acidity of the peat. We are much
concerned about the fourteen inch steel
pipe which conveys our raw water to
the filtration plant. All the bends on
this pipe line came naked, that is, there
is neither outside nor inside coating of
protective asphalt An application of
asphalt was made on the job on the
Iinsides of these bends but no bond was
obtained and large patches of asphalt
came to the filters when the water was
turned on. Many of these bends are
laid in peat boys and you can see that
much of the year they convey an acid
water and are laid in an acid soil. Out
side and inside corrosion are expected
and the results can be serious and the
repairs expensive.
Conclusions.
/ 1. The lime treatment has checked
the corrosion of our service lines which
carry cold water.
2. The lime treatment has reduced
the corrosion and resultant red water
complaints in hot water heating sys-
TENS.
8. It appears as if we could get still
better results if we added soda ash after
the lime treatment and raised our OH
still higher.

Warden Sullivan who made that penal
institution into model of its kind in
the United States.
Although the State Board of Con-
troll hasn't decided when it will make
the appointment, Carlgren evidently has
the inside track to the position, &C
cording to capitol observers. It is ex-
pected that the position held by Carl
gren on the board will be filled by an
appointee who will be amenable to ap-
proving Carlgren's appointment as war
den.
To Discard Sullivan's Methods
The prison made more news this week,
however, as Governor Elmer Benson and
the Board of Control made plans for
important changes in the states penal
system which would result in the elm
nation of many of the practices put
into effect by the late Warden Sulli-
van during his long tenure as head of
the institution
A system of penal camps will be de-
veloped to put convicts to work in out
door activity in various parts of the
state, it was reported. The practice of
punishment Of prisoners for attractions
of rules by solitary confinement and
punishment in detention wards also are
slated to undergo drastic revision
Under Warden Sullivan's regime
Minnesota had no riots or serious dis
turbanceS at Saltwater prison
Throughout the country over just a
three year period, other American
prisons recorded 46 riots in which 81
persons were killed and 100000 in
property damage reported, according to
figures from the American Prison
association.
Lundeen on Junkets
The question in many peoples minds
as to the whereabouts of MinnesotaS
Senator Ernest Lundeen during the
Presidential visit in this state was
answered by a news note from San
Francisco. The senator, accompanied
by his wife, started for Hawaii on a
congressional junket to study Hawaii's
statehood proposal. Minnesota's sena-
tor had just returned from a trip to
Alaska, and didn't get back to Mime
sofa before starting on his new tour.
Art Jacobs Hits Attorney General
Art Jacobs, publisher of The State
News, and administration mouthpiece,
takes his turn at political prognosticat-
ing in the most recent issue of his pub
LEGATION. Says Jacobs, There is no
sentiment for Hjalmar Petersen for
governor among the Farmer Labor and
liberal voters. They interpret his &C
tons as purely selfish and inspired by
enemies, not friends of the liberal
cause"
Jacobs boosts Harold Atwood for the
railroad and warehouse commission, but
says the Winona man must prove that
he isn't a tool of Hjalmar Peterson,
whom Jacobs calls Minnesota's short
term" governor Without the endorse
ment of the 1888 convention of the
Farmer Labor association, Atwood can
not hope to get very far in statewide
primary, Jacobs predicts, and goes on to
say that Atwood realizes this and sis
making every effort to convince the adj
leaders he does not see
eye to eye with man, who, by a twist
of fate, was placed ina position to fill
the place on the commission vacated by
the death of Knute Wefald"
