ETZ ON GOOD LAWS. Good laws are the safeguard against bad conditions. This is a commercial not a military age. Fin- land has just enfranchised her wo- men and denied the ballot to her soldiers. Questions which affect modern society are decided by bal- lots not bulle! COME ON IN. Says the St. Cloud Times: “‘We have been in habit of terming Stearns county a part of Northern Minnesota, but the Bemidji confer- ence did not include it in the list of thirty Northern Minnesota counties entited to representation. | Our next door neighbors, Morrison and Todd counties, are ‘in it.” We are a portion of Central Minnesota. However, we indorse and approve the resolutions adopted. Let there be a reapportionment, a 1-mill road tax, etc. We are all interested in state development, whether it be in Northern Minnesota, Central Minne- sota or Southern Minnesota—one Minnesota, one flag, one object.” That’s the proper spirit. We shall hope to hear more of the same kind of talk. In point of fact, the Bemidji con- ference included only those counties which beyond any question are parts of Northern Minnesota, of the dis- tricts that need state aid so much and that are so much- neglected,, However, now that the organization is made and the movement for de- velopment and fair play afoot, there | is no need that it be confined to the thirty counties which made the Be- midji success possible. There are other counties in Cen- tral and North Central Minnesota that may very properly become members of the organization, and if they will organize county develop- ment associations and apply for admission they may be assured that the door will be opened unto them and that they will be received with open arms. Among these counties are Stearns, Douglas, Benton, Sher- burne, Chisago and Anoka—all of which should take the necessary steps to become members of this compact and alert and aggressive organization for the greater glory of Minnesota—Duluth Herald. Even the office that seeks the man must first ‘see the boss.” He who never does wrong never ¥ | does much anyway. Save your breath; a line of type outweighs lungs of talk. Lots of people can write ads that attract attention, but the advestiser wants the ads that attract trade. An ad’s well that ends well. Men were born to rule and be ryled, of which sort be you. VICTORY FOR GOVERNMENT Nicaraguan Insurgents Appear to Have Been Badly Beaten. . Managua, Feb. 25.—Captain God- frey Fowler, who commanded General Chamorro’s artillery, is reported te have been wounded in Tuesday’s bat tle near Tipitapa. Fowler is an American and formerly was a member of the Thirty-third infantry, U. S. A. The government’s victory appears to have been complete. With the fury of despair the insurgents charged three times at a bridge over the Tipi- tapa, hurling their infantry against General Aguilar's battery of - three maxim guns with the fury of despair, but were unable to force a passage of the river, and retired in disorder, abandoning 600 rifles, 15,000 cartridges and all baggage, and leaving the wounded upon the field. The whereabouts of General Cha morro, the leader of the insurgents in the recent battle, are not known here The report of the government vie- tory was received with great rejoic: ing here, and the celebration over the news continues. A few minutes delay in treating some cases of croup, even in the length of time it takes to go for a doctor often proves dangerous. The safest way is to keep Cham- berlain’s Cough Remedy in the house, and at the first indication of croup give the child a dose. Pleasant to take and always cures Sold by Barker Drug Co, INCREASED BY- RAILROADS Per Diem Charge for the Use ‘of Freight Cars. Chicago, Feb. 25.—All the railroads which are members of the American Railway association have decided to increase the per diem charge for the use of freight cars. The present rate which a railroad pays for the use of 4. “foreign” car is 25 cents per day while it is on its own rails.. By letter vote the association lines have decid- ed to increase this to 30 cents, begin- ning March 1, and thereafter the rate March, April, May, June and July. During the remaining months of the year the rate will be 35 cents. The increase of the per diem rate between Aug. 1 and March 1 is with a view of accelerating the movement of freight cars during the busy sea- son. COLD WEATHER IS BLAMED i Retail Meat Prices at Chicago Soaring Again, Chicago, Feb. 25. — Retall meat prices are soaring-again. Advances ot from half a cent to 2 cents a pound in all classes of meat, from sausage tc turkeys, were announced by butchers. The dealers issued statements blam- ing the cold weather primarily for, the increases, but declaring: that further advances would come:soon and remain in effect probably until spring. in pork cuts, due principally to the sharp advance in the prices of hogs at the stock yards.

It is also a certain cure for croup and has never been known to fail. Sold by Barker Drug Co, ASSIGNED TO THE LAUNDRY Phil Allen, Bank Wrecker, Arrives at Leavenworth Prison.

The legal representatives of the state of North Dakota defended the consti- tutionality of the state law of 1907, fixing the rate on coal, and counsel for the Northern Pacific Railway company attacked it as designating a rate be- low the cost of service. Counsel for the state argued that the reason why the cost of service was not controlling where a single rate was involved was twofold. In the firstplace, it was contended, it was im- possible to determine with anything like accuracy what such cost of serv- ice was. In the second place, there was no injury to the equitable title ot the carrier as a result of the cost of service not being controlling, as long as the carrier was allowed on the wholé to earn a fair profit on the in- vestment in the business. In the case of the rate on coal it was argued that it may be entirely reasonable for the state to put in force a low rate for the purpose of develop- ing-a great natural resource by stimu- lating the purchase of local coal in place of foreign coal, through the re- duction in the cost of the former. Argument Declared lllogical. ‘As to the argument that the reduc- tion of the rate on coal meant an ad- ditional burden on other commodities counsel for the state contended that it was illogical to speak of this as “rob- bing Peter to pay Paul” According to their point of view the subject was -neither more or less than a case of proper rate classification, with the in- cidental result that one commodity sustains a greater weight of expense than another. It was said that the result of a de- cision in accordance with the conten: tion of the railroads would be to crip- ple seriously, if not practically to de- stroy, the ratemaking power of the nation and of every state. “The burden of proof is upon the railroads to show that the rate in- volved will cut down the net earnings of the railroad from purely intrastate business below the point of a fair profit,” said the state’s counsel. On the other hand, the counsel for the Northern Pacific contended that in order to be constitutional the rate must permit a fair amount of profit for the railroad. While it is often impossible to prevent an accident, it isnever impossible to be prepared—it is not beyond anyone's purse.

Next year there will be a public buildings bill. Then an appropriation for a home for the vice president may be included. An attack of grippe is often fol- lowed by a persistent cough, which |$7¢ to many proves a great annoyance. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has beeu extensively used and with good success for the relief and cure of this cough. Many cases have been cured after all other remedies had failed. ~ Sold by’Barker Drug|s Co, CONNERS AGREES TO RETIRE Is Allowed Brief Respite by Tammany Leader. Albany, N. Y., Feb. 26.—William J. Conners made good his prediction that he would stiil be chairman of the Democratic state committee after its meeting. In saving his political scalp, however, he lost most of his hair. Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany chieftain, granted the Buffalo leader 8 briet political reprieve in the inter-|t! est of party harmony after Conmers had agreed to resign in April and to repudiate -his recent harsh state- ments concerning Mr. Murphy and the | alleged auctioning of judgeships in New York. Chafrman Conners was ' re-eclected for a two-year term on April 17, 1908. He -announced at the meeting that “under mo conceivable circumstances would he be a candidate for re-elec- tion.” GRAND JURY ABOUT READY TO REPORT Indictments Against Packers Expected at Jersey City. New. York, Feb. 26.—Packing house men and cold storage interests here and elsewhere had representatives on hand when the grand jury met in Jersey City for expected final action on recently prepared indictments. There was every indication that when the jury reported to Judge Swayne the members would return a dozen to a scare of indictments. The formal accusations, it was believed, would be against the meat packing interests that maintain the successive system of cold storage plants from which New York city draws supplies of meat and other food products. Sensational incidents of the last few days, including a supposed attempt to bribe the- prosecutor to call off the proceedings against the packers, have combined to excite ‘wide interest in the investigation. Prosecutor Garvan announced that he had. issued subpoenas for all the officers of the Corporation Trust com- pany of New Jersey, the concern which represents the packing com- panies in the state. He has demand- ed that they bring with them their books, showing the stock ownership of the various companies and other information desired. Jury Acquits St. Paul Alderman.

Inquiry Into Ballinger-Pinchot Contro- versy Aroused by Testimony of Hor- ace T. Jones, a Department Em- ploye, Who Makes a Sensational At- tack on Attorney in Charge of the Government Case at Seattle Hearing. ‘Washington, Feb. 26.—The Ballin- ger-Pinchot inquiry took an unexpect- ed turn when Special Agent Horace T. Jones of the land office took the stand for the “prosecution” and made a sensational attack on James M, Sheridan, who was sent by the land office to Seattle last year to take charge of the government's case in hearings on the Cunningham ' coal claims in Alaska. Jones declared that Sheridan had been graduated in law onmly a year or; two; that Sheridan’s conduct of the case was incompetent and that Sheri- dan had opposed to him two of the leading lawyers of Seattle. Testify- ing for an hour or more as to the con- duct of the case and giving instances from which the witness wished the committee to draw conciusions Jones said that he did not desire to criticise Sheridan in any way. He said that Louis R. Glavis was not a lawyer, but knew more law-than Sheridan did. Jones thought it was a reflection upon Glavis for the'land office to-send Sheridan out there to take charge of a case which Glavis had worked up. Mr. Jones also corroborated Glavis’ testimony that one of the coal claim- ants had said that former Secretary Garfield was dropped from President Taft’s cabinet because of his hostility | toward the Cunningham group of claimants. Under cross-examination Jones ap- peared defiant and aggressive to mem- bers of the” committee and counsel alike and said he did not care what in- ferences® were drawn from his testi- mony.
