St. Peter Herald: Bob Dunn -and Joel Heatwole have fallen into step on the Eberhart issue. They both want him—retired. To our mind, Governor Eberhart has conducted his office quite satisfactorily. No other republican governor has been in such demand as a speaker, and it is somewhat singular that earnest party patriots like Hetwole and Dunn should wish to compass his defeat, Their opposition illustrates what strange bedfellows politics’ will make. THE SLATE FOR THE STATE. Isn’t it really good to see that all the slates advanced throughout the entire state as the strongest, that possibly could be adopted by the republican party, bears the name of a northern Minnesota man for the office of state treasurer? It is not only a matter of fairness to northern Minnesota to give it one of the leading state offices, but it is a matter of credit to the state as a whole, to select as its treasurer, a man so capable and efficient as is Al Kaiser of Bagley. To present the voters of this state, a republican slate, without his name, would be sacrificing one of the strongest rocks in its foundation, | BY THE WAY.

On his protest by wire and mail Glavis said the clear listing was revoked. In describing the clear listing of the Cunningham claims the witness told of a visit to Washington in December, 1907, when he took up with officials of the land office the matter of the Alaska claims. - Glavis testified that after an interview with H. H. Schwartz, then a chief of the field division, he was conducted to Mr. Bal- linger’s office and as a result of the visit to Washington and the story there told was immediately placed in charge of all the Alaska cases. “What did you say to Commissioner Ballinger?” ‘T told him I thought we could can- cel all the Alaska claims; that a lot of prominent people had formed a pool and that the evidence would prove it.” Claimants Fricnds of Ballinger. “What . did - Mr.- Ballinger say to you?” “He said a number of the claimants were friends and -former business as- soclates of “his and that there had been alot of talk that they would get their patents.” “‘Now, Glavis’ he sald to me, ‘when you get back to Seattle I want you to let it be publicly known that you have started this investigation and that I want it to be thorough. No matter who it hurts, you are to go right after them, whether they are friends of mine or not.’” “Did he mention names of his friends?” “Yes, he spoke of H. C. Henry and C. J. Smith, both of whom were in the Cunningham group.” Glavis said he went back to work happy and satisfied that there was to be a thorough investigation and that he had worried unnecessarily about a possible scandal. Glavis declared that it was Dec. 13, 1907, that he had his interview with Commissioner Ballinger. On Jan. 7, 1908, less'than a month after he had been directed to make the investiga- tion, a letter was addressed to him by Mr. Ballinger stating that the Cun- ningham claims had been “clear list- ed” from “the investigating division for patent. On-Jan. 22, 1908, Glavis sent a tele- gram and letter protesting against the clear listing of the claims and they were withdrawn and sent back to the investigating division. DEMURRAGE LAW IS UPHELD Minnesota Supreme Court Passes on Its Constitutionality. St. Paul, Jan. } J—The Nolan re- ciprocal demurrage law was held to be ‘constitutional by the state supreme court, Justice Jaggard writing the opinion. The case was brought to the supreme court on appeal of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway company, against which ‘a verdict had been found in Rock county giving the Hard- wick Farmers’ Elevator company dam- ages amounting to $218 and $50 attor- neys’ fees. The law, according to Justice Jag- gard, was designed to insure the prompt performance by the carrier ot its common law duty to furnish cars for transportation ‘of freight and was not' displaced by the interstate com- merce act. He holds that the provision requir- ing the.payment of attorney’s fees is not -invalid because it imposes a s . ! “ Lo, charge ‘on carriers and not on debtors Be'f"d’."

Blueflelds, Nicaragua, Jan. 31.—Gen- eral Chamorro is seriously wounded. However, physicians say he will prob- ably not die. The chief of the pro- visional army, who commanded the Estrada forces in the battle of the last few days, personally led the charge on the English battery in the center of the Madriz lines. Although seriously wounded , Cha- morro kept'to his task until the guns were silenced.and the administration forces completely routed. He. is now in an improvised hospital at Acoyapa. Confirmation of the defeat of Gen- eral Vasquez by General Chamorro, the revolutionary leader, has been re- ceived here. The defeat of Vasquez amounts to a complete rout and the ‘scattered remnants of his army are re- ported fleeing toward Managua. The revolutionists now predict: the fall of the capital within two weeks. Estrada is moving slowly and fs maintaining .an excellent morale among his troops. WILD SCENE IN REICHSTAG Plea for Absolutism Arouses the So- cialist Members. Berlin, Jan. 31.—Riotous scenes oc- curred in the reichstag during the de- bate on the army budget, the esti- mates submitted by the kaiser’s offi- cials being bitterly opposed by the Socialists. Herr von Oldenberg, a Conservative member, precipitated the riot by mak- ing a plea for an absolute govern- ment. The angry Socialists set up the cry of “Down with absolutism,” and shook their fists in the speaker’s face. A scene of wild disorder ensued and it was a long time before order could be restored. Von Oldenberg’s plea for absolutism ‘was startling and is bound to precipi- tate a crisis in the reichstag, because it is believed he but voiced the kalser’s wishes. . In urging the reichstag members to pass the army budget without further delay Von Oldenberg, declared the kaiser should have unlimited power to suspend the German constitution at his pleasure and rule absolutely as he saw fit. ASKED TO TAKE CONTROL Canadian Farmers Want Government to Run Elevators. Ottawa, Ont., Jan. 31.—That the grain that comes down the lakes from Chicago and other upper lake ports could be handled better-at government owned elevators than at the present privately owned ones is contended by many. Sir Richard Cartwright, minis- ter of trade and commerce, was waited upon by a delegation which asked that the government take over the_control of grain elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur. It was urged upon Sir Richard that government ownership or control of terminal | elevators *wouid result in much benefit to the farmers and to the milling: industry.
