New Jersey heretofore has been called the “"mother of trusts,” and it is perfectly proper for her to pro- ceed to spank them. Mayor Gaynor of New York shows wisdom in keeping away from politi- cal banquets. If he thinks of run- ning for president, he has enough to do in proving that he has been a good mayor of New York. That will keep one man busy a year or two. The disappearance of some portion of the “ould sod” on which Mr. Taft was to stand while speaking in Chicago might have been due to the fact that friends of some of the audience thought it would be good to “banish” snakes from the minds of the too convivial.—Wisconsin State Journal. A PROFITABLE DAIRY. Mr. Charles Nelson, of Atwater, saysthat his twelve grade Guernsey cows and heifers yielded 348 pounds of butter fat during December, giv- ing him an income of $11.40 per cow for the month, at a cost of $4.16 per cow for feed. Rations given the herd were all farm-grown, consisting of clover, ensilage, barley and oats. A little vanity keeps a man keyed up to his best, while too much renders him obnoxious to his fellows. The chewing-gum girl lives from hand to mouth. The night key is not usually the key to success. Even the wise men are occasion- ally otherwise. The business of a promoter is to persuade your money into his pockets, A Bibliophlle’s Reply. Mandell Creighton, who was bishop of London, had a horror of lending his favorite books. A fellow clergy- man once visited the bishop and took & fancy to an old edition of Shake speare. He borrowed the volume and aid not think td return it for several months. Finally the minister returned it with a letter, saying, “My Deaz Bishop—I have great pleasure in ré turning the volume you lent me.” The bishop answered, “My ‘Dear Brother—All the foy is mine.” Organized Creamery Association. Thoroughly imbued with the fact that this section of Minnesota is the premier dairy part of Minnesota, the farmers living in the vicinity of Guthrie, the first station south of Bemidji on the M. & I. railway, have formed a co-oporative creamery association, stock-breeding company and Farmer’s club, the membership including practically every farmer who visits Guthrie to do his trad- ing. The following were chosen asthe first officer of the combined organi- zations: President, Fred Wolfi secretary, L. I. Dobbedal;. treasurer, Bert Marks. The association will correspond with Professor A. J. McGuire, super- intendent of the Northeast Experi- ment Farm at Grand Rapids, with the intention of purchasing several pure-bred Guernsey sires to improve the dairy animals in the vicinity of Guthrie, A co-operative creamery will undoubtedly be built in the very near future, and there is no reason why, if properly managed this creamery will not prove a paying investment and a great boon to the farmers who will engage in dairying at Guthrie.

IOWA GRASH CAUSED DEATH OF FORTY-FIVE Rock Island Disaster Worst in History of State, Marshalltown, Ia, March 23.—The Towa board of railway commissioners has arrived here to investigate the causes which led to the disastrous Rock Island railway wreck. The ex- act time the train left Marshalltown will be sought in an effort to show that a possible order of the train dis- patcher as to what speed should ob- tain might have been violated. A board will also inquire ‘into the two hours’ delay of the railway company in getting reserves to the scene. Hundreds of people gathered before the undertaking establishment where forty-five victims of the wreck are laid out. Relatives and friends mingled with the curiosity seekers who seemed scarcely less eager to catch a sight of the unfortunates who had so sud- denly perished. Three more victims died since mid- night, bringing the list of known dead to forty-five and making the catastro- phe the greatest in the history of the state. The little embalming room at the back of the undertaking rooms proved entirely inadequate for demands. In consequence furniture was hurriedly removed from a large store adjoining to give sufficient room for the dead. Five long rows of bodies extended from the rear to the front leaving scarcely passageway between for the undertakers. Although debris from the wreck had been cleared away trains are still run- ning over temporary tracks. The hulks of the two engines remained alongside the rails and almost entire- 1y buried in a bank of clay. PEASANTS’ REVOLT SERIOUS Greece Dispatches More Troops te Scene of Disorder. Athens, March 23.—In response ‘to messages from Thessaly that the peasants were burning the corn de- pots in several towns as a part of their warfare against the big Turkish landowners the "government dis- patched more troops to the scenes of disorder. Deputy Karaiskaki, who is foment- ing the trouble in Thessaly, was or- dered to return to Athens. If he ebeys Re Will be placed under arrest. S - BITTER ATTACK -ON PRESIDENT Palmer of Pennsylvania Ad- dresses the House. CALLS HIM PLIANT TOOL Declares Executive Took Greater In- terest In Reducing Tariff on Goods Necessary to Trusts Than He Did on Those Needed by Common Peo- ple—Speaker Lauds Ex-President Roosevelt as the Original Insurgent. Washington, March 23.—Referring to President Taft as a “rather pliant executive” and characterizing former President Roosevelt as “the greatest insurgent of them all, who taught the Jnsurgents how to ‘insurge,’” Repre- sentative A. Mitchell Palmer (Dem., Pa.) attacked the administration from the floor of the house. Mr. Palmer, in introducing Ris at- taek upon the Republican organization and the administration measures, said that the country could expect little real benefit from “this show of effort on the part of the president to redeem the pledges of the Republican plat- form:* The speaker said he did not impute to the president any lack of good faith, but, he added, “any student of recent and present conditiens in the Republican party must realize that, however much the president may de- sire to carry out the promises of his party in relation to these measures, he was bound himself hand and foot to an organization in the congress which has demonstrated on innumerable occasions in the past that it can be true to nothing except its own false traditions.” Criticises the Tariff Bill. The first effort of the administration flayed by Representative Palmer was the tariff. He related how President Taft had promised the voters in his public addresses before election that the pledges of the Republican party “for tariff revision meant tariff re- duction.” “The people understood then,” said Mr. Palmer, “that in presenting the platform the Republican party gave its promissory note to the American people. It was endorsed by William H. Taft and accepted by the people at the elections. It never would have been accepted without that emdorse- ment, for the credit of the maker of the obligation had been sadly impaired by the record of years of broken pledges. “1f President Taft had displayed but half the zeal in an attempt to force congrees. to reduce the tariff taxation on the mnecessities of life that he dis- played in securing those reductions of duty which will result in greater profits to the protected manufacturers, already enriched by operation of tar- iff laws beyond the dreams of avarice, he would have earned the right to say that as the endorser of the Repub- lican party’s promises he had saved its obligation from protest. American People Deceived. “If he had been but half as anxious to save the pennies of the working- man by giving him cheaper cotton govds as he was to save the dollars of the steel trust by dumping into its mills its raw materials at much re- duced expense, his name would have been enshrined in the hearts of the poor as his praises are now sung in the counting houses of protected wealth.” The reduction in the tariff on lum- ber was described by Mr. Palmer as purchased “at the price of a trade war with Canada, now all too imminent, ‘which is liable to bring into operation the maximum rate provided in the law and increase the tariff on lumber prod- uets by 100 per cent.” “To say that the American people were deceived,” he proceeded, “by the double play of a rather pliant execu- tive and an astute leader of the Re- publican organization during the last inning of the tariff game is to impute to the citizens of this country a lack of intelligence for which there is no warrant in their record for prompt punishment they have meted out in the past to parties recreant to their trust.” The thrilling events of the last few days in congress, the Pinchot incident, postal savings bank and federal cor- porations all were included in Repre- 'wentative Palmer’s diatribe. TAFT DEFENDS THE TARIFF Addresses Manufacturers’ Association at Providence, R. I. Providence, R. I, March 23.—With Benator Aldrich seated at his left hand President Taft again earnestly defended the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill In his address at the annual dinner of the New England Manufacturing Jew- ,alers and Silversmiths’ association. Mr. Taft received a most enthusiastic greeting. The president also expressed the hope that it would not be necessary to apply the maximum tariff rates against Canada, thus bearing out the veportsof the Albany conference that the negotiations with the Dominion government had taken & more favor able turn, 2 BUSY PRODDING THE LORDS Premler Asquith Proposes More Legle- lation Bearing on Peers. London, March 23.—Premier As- quith gave notice in the house of com- mons of three resolutions bearing on the veto power of the house of lords. ‘The first deglares that it is expedient that the house of lords be disabled by law frem rejecting or amending a money bill, but that any such limita- tion shall not be takeén to dlminish er qualify the existing rights of the house i ~TTe Second resolution declares that it 18 expedient that the powers of thé house of lords over bills other than money bills be restricted by law, so that any such bill whioh has passed the house of commons imn three suc- cessive sessions and has been rejected by the house of lords in each of these sessions shall become & law Without consent of the house of lords, on royal assent being declared, provided'| that at least two years have elapsed since the date of the first introduction of the bill in the commons and the date it passes the commons for the third time. The third resolution proposes te Hmit the duration of each parliament to five years. Wreck on the Soo Road. Bismarck, N.

FOREIGN CONCERNS INVOLVED Alleged to Have Paid Handsomely for Insurance Legislation. New. York, March 23.—Out .of the mass of promising generalitles which have characterized the fire insurance inquiry started in New York last Fri- day there has come testimony that three foreign insurance companies had paid handsomely to have the so called Grady refnsurance bill passed by the legislature at Albany in 1904. The bill was passed and is stiil a law, notwithstanding that it was opposed by domestic companies, ‘who sub- scribed $10,000 for the purpose and placed it in the hands of the late George P. Sheldon, one time president of the Phoenix Fire Insurance com- pany of Brooklyn. Chinese Energy Worrles Japan. Victoria, B. C., March 23.—Japanese newspapers brought by the steamer Titan comment on the Chinese inva- slon of Tibet. The Jiji Shimpo looks upon China’s action as evidence of a new sense of sovereignty and a fresh formed determination to enforce it, not only in Tibet but also in Manchu- ria and Mongolia, and believes the in- vasion may prove a turning point in Asiatic history. Hatpin Leads to Divorce. Chicago, March 23.—Chicago’s first “hatpin divorce” was granted by Judge Dupuy when he freed August Johnson from his wife, Hilma, on the grounds of cruelty.
