Some person with an imagination much greater than his interest for the state of Minesota has con- ceived the idea that it would be all right to have Governor Eberhart appoint G. T. Simpson, the attorney general, to succeed the late lamented and talented Justice Jaggard. Of course there is little cause for alarm as the governor is a friend of the North. JUSTICE JAGGARD. Minnesota lost more than an able Jurist, a person learned in law and the recipient of high honors, when death reached out to the orange scented, flower carpeted island of Bermuda and snatched away Edwin A. Jaggard; Minnesota lost a MAN. Lovable, kind, true, charitable, bearing malice toward none, a faith- ful friend and a conscientious public servant, the state has good reason to mourn the loss of her associate justice of the supreme court. As a rare tribute, it can truth-| fully be said that the present out- pouring expressions of sorrow is not due, perhaps, so much to his ability as a jurist as to his strong exempli- fication of man’s real humanity to man. The blighting of his career at a time when it seemed that many years of usefulness lay before him has caused the most intense grief throughout Minnesota manifested since the sudden taking away of Governor Johnson and Clarence Dine- hart. GOOD CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT. You might as well have pie with- out cheese, a kiss without a squeeze, an oyster stew with nary an oyster as an “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” without dogs. = The sympathies of the nation are aroused by the “Jeffersonian” of Mound City, Missouri, in its follow- ing wail: “We like to say nice things about the shows when we can, and there are lots of nice things to say about Stowe’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” which was at the opera house Monday night, but they had no dogs, and what’s an “Un¢le Tom’s Cabin” show without dogs? Little Eva died and went to heaven in a blaze of glory, and the audience cried about it, but there were no dogs. Uncle Tom lived his heroic life and died his heroic death, but they had no dogs. didn’t see any ‘dogs. Lawyer was an exquisite’ combinatio funny man and villian, Legree and Cousin Ophelia both fitted their parts| and playéd them well, but' we missed the dogs. The Kentucky Quaker was all right and the music was worth the price of admission if they’d only had some dogs.” “The Jeffersonian’” is right—the been. It was like “Ten Nights In a Bar Room” without a bar. REMEMBERING THE MAINE. Thirteen years ago, the American battleship “Maine” gave a lurch and sank in'the waters of Havana harbor, bringing death to hundreds of brave seamen. That was on the night of February 14. The next day . the United States clinched her fists under such headlines as “American battle- ship blown up by Spain”. A few weéeks later, this country and.the Don government were at it hammer and tongs. It is generally conceded that if the Maine had not blown up, there would have been no war, and the general |ana lasting impresison has always been that the loss of the Maine and her brave seamen was directly at- tributable to the Spaniards. That there was a terrific explo- sion on the battleship and that she sank rapidly, as would be the case were a mine set off under her, was from the first apparent. But for years the wreck of the trim American fighter has rested on the Cuban mud, a part of her warped steel red with rust of many months protruding from the shark infested waters, a gaunt reminder of one of the most unfortunate events of Amer- ican history. The natural supposi- tion was that the shattered ship would be dragged from the harbor, for, aside from any sentimental reas- on, the room is needed' as Havana harbor is small. It often has been said that the United States dares not raise the Maine for fear that it will be found that the disaster was due to negli- gence on board and that the ex- plosion came from within and not from a mine without as generally suposed. At last, however, Congress decid- ed to do away with the wreck and early last fall the actual work began. A cofferdam has been constructed and as soon as the water is pumped out the old pile of junk can be drag- ged away. Work has been hamper- ed, temporarily, owing to the lack lof funds but additional appropria- tions are expected to be made at once and within a comparatively short time the world may know the true cause of the accident which brought on a war. We say “may know” because it is a fact that the work is being carried on with much secrecy and if it be found that the explosion was from the inside there is no assurance that the truth will ever become public. | WHAT OTHER PAPERS sAY | Yes, And They Are Still Coming. There are enough bills before the legislature now to keep the members busy the rest of the session.—Brain- erd Tribue. Placing the Blame. If reapportionment fails to pass in the senate, the people can thank the liquor interests, who are doing all in their power to defeat it.—Pe- quot Enterprise. Gordon Has Backbone, A man who is developing into gu- bernatoral timber fast is Lieutenant Governor Sam Y. Gordon. It is all because Sam Y. is a really truly man and has backbone enough to stand for what he thinks is right.—Itasca County Independent. Opposed to Hanging. Gov. Eberhart opposes hanging. So do we. So does every human being. They beheaded people in olden times. Stuck them through with a sword. Cleaved their skulls open with a battle ax. No sensible, God fearing nation will do these things now. It is more punishment to keep the human being slayer in prison as long as he or she lives, than it is to exe- cute them.—Lake Crystal Union. Beltrami, too. Reapportionment’s fate is still un- certain but there now seems to be no doubt but that bills will be passed by the legislature which will aid largely in the development of Koochiching county—those increasing the tax on railroad earnings, taxing state land drama wasn’t all that it should have | d purpose I an acre tax on state Iands in unor- :ganized distticts, for séhool nurposenf And ‘the board of county commis- sloners, alive to the interests of their constituents,, has a little band ‘of workers down at St. Paul doing what they can to aid in the passing of the measures.—International Falls Echo. The Decline of Talent. That was a rather pitiable ex- hibition Senator Bailey made of him- self as a technical defender of Lori- mer from the charge of Why should a southern democrat take the trouble to come to the de- fense of a northern renublica;l de- serted by the self-respecting members of his own party? There is only one reason visiable f| to the plain citizen. That is that Senator Bailey has been instructed to defend Lorimer by persons outside of the senate whom he has no choice but to obey. His sharper critics point out how nearly he lost his re- election last time on evidence of his secret relations with corporations un- popular in Texas, such as Standard 0il, its affiliated railroads and the Southern lumber trust. Now it is notorious that all of these are repre- sented in the impudent lobby that is trying to get Lorimer whitewashed. —Minneapolis Tribune.

HELD TO BE FRAUDULENT Land Office Cancels Entries to Valu- able Coal Lands. ‘Washington, Feb. 16.— Decisions handed down by the commissioner of the general land office hold for can- cellation thirty-two coal cash entries embracing valuable coal lands in the Lander (Wyo.) land district, upon the ground that those entries were made fraudulently in pursuance of a con- spiracy and by means of “dummy” entrymen. The lands were transferred to the Northwestern Coal company and the Owl Creek Coal company, al- leged to have been organized for the purpose of taking them over. If the decisions of the land office are sustained by the department of the interior, to which an appeal can be made, about 9,500 acres of coal land, valued at about $1,000,000, will be restored to the public domain.

Affidavits on file with the Studebaker Co, In Regard to theE-M-F 30,at $1000 Here IS a Plain Business Talk You’re a Business Man. You emp'oy business principles in your financial traneactions. You erung the cost the cost of every investment you make You buy right and you s:J1 right. That’s why you're suc- cessful. ? We’re Business [len. We sell automobiles, Fraukly, we waut to sell you one—to present onr claim for your attemion in a strictly business way We presume you’re in a position to buy a car, so this is— A Business Talk with a Business Man on an Interesting subject. Right now you are considering the Cost— first cost, maintenance cost, and costof depreciation. The Car You Want is a car for service in your daily work; a car for plessare in your hours of leisure; a car your family and yourfriends can enjoy with you; a fine-looking car that will always bring you h me, as well as take you away. Your Problem is to get the car that fuifills these conditions, and fulfills them at the least expense. The E=-M=F 30" is one of the cars that you bave considered. Itis this car which we are making the subject of this talk. The First Cost of the E-M-F “30” is $1,000. The e isn’t any car Of its class on the market—and we'll include all the experiments and promises as yet unfulfilled, by competing firms—that can be bought at anything like this figure. The First Cost Argument is the one that has thrown the world of motordom into an uproar since October, 1910. Others Can’t eet it. They couldn’t meet the E-M-F +30” at $1.250. At $1,000 they are frautic. In the vain endeavor to obscure the issue they are being forced to the same tactics any man wou'd em— ploy 10 keep his head above the billows of the sea of tailure. We Don’t Blame Them a Bit. We're genuinely sorry for sime of them. When their own factories are sending out literatuze which when read between the lines, simply begs, “Don’t hit us when we’re down,” the’re excusable. The Truth About the E-I'1-F ¢30’" isn’t going to be obscured in the least. though, by the statement of any di tracted rival. We’re goingto review a little of it right now. The E-I1-F *30°’" at $1,000 is t} e biggest manu- facturing ac'ievement ot the age It has been made possible by the gigantic brain of the world’s - greatest builder of motor cars—Walter E. Flanders. More Than -$7.000,000 Expended under Mr. F.anders’ own direction, over a period of more than two years, is the one possible factor to permit produc- ti n of such a car at such a price The Vast Difference in Equipment for manu- facturing its car is what distinguishes the E-M-F Com- pany from all others in its class. The E-M-F Company makes its own motors, its own forgings, its own cast- ings, its own carbaretors, its own stampings—in short, 1t8 own car. The Enormous*Saving which the E-M-F Com- peny makes in the production eost of its car is readily apparent to any business man. Parts-Makers Are Becoming Millionaires at the expense of the purchasers of the cars put out by factories that are endeavoring to compete with the E-M-F- #30.” The Cost of Material has become a much- mooted powt since the E-M-F Company’s recent an- 1. F. 30, $1000 nouncement of a Jowered price. Otber manufacturers —to be b unt, assemblers—have rushed into print with the statement that material actually costs more than it used to. It Does. There's a good reason. Manufacturers of irons and special steels have been *‘Stuog” severely during the past few months by n otor-car companies who have been paying their debts in paper and in obsolete models of automobiles Questionable Financial Reputation is an expensive asset, Cash rules now where paper once held sway. The E-M-F Company Reaped the Har- vest. Material-manufacturers fairly fell over them- selves to sell th-ir output toa firm whose stinding was unquestioned. They wanted to do business ex- clusively with a concern backed up by the biguest finan- cial interests in the world The Inducements Offered have been a big help toward the reduction in price which the manu- facturing system had rearly es ab'ished s These Are All Business Reasons—Reasons that will be understood hy the business man who wants to make a business purchase As for the Car Itself, we are content to rest with a mighy brief argument. There are more than 20.000 E-M-F Co automobi'es in America, and they’re driven by 20,000 of the best satisfied human beings in this broad land. Of Course You Want Speed. A stock E-M- F “30” just like the one you can buy f r $1,000 made a clean sweep of the events in its class at the Atlanta Speedway’s Novemb-r meeting, setting a world's c'ass record in one eventand a speedway class mark in the other- The same car was first home' of the American cars in the Tiedeman ‘trophy event on the Grand Prize course at Savannah—1Y0.3 miles at a rate of better than 55 mi'es an hour. In on2 or more of ttese three starts this car defeatei two Coles, three Abbott- Detroits, three Maxwel's, a Chalmers and a4 Firestone- Columbus. Al thesesell for $1,500 or more, yet none of them could head the $1,000°E-M-P “30” at any period of the test. You Want Durability. Th: first E-M-F «30” ever shipped ints Dixi-land 18 running daily, bas cov- ered 73,000 miles (or from 15 t» 18 years of driving for a private owner), and is a bit better than new rignt now, with ber o d equipment virtually intact. You want Economy. The EM-F 30, as ev- eryore knows, is a poem in strength, lightnees and balance that reduces tire replacement expense to a minimum and makes other cars insatiable gasoline and oil eaters in compari-on. E-M-F “30” Quality is something we don’t believe necessary to elaborate on further. The best evidence we can advance, nex*. to the actual perform- ance of the cars on the 10ad, is the confidence of the factory itself in its output. The Most Liberal Guarantee in existence— a guarantce embodying a definite promise by Walter E. Flanders bimse!f—is issued with every E-M-F car, Car and Equipment are warranted' fof a whole year, aside from the tires, which are guaranteed by the makers. To put out a motor car of anything but the highest quality, and to back it up with a promise like that, would ruin any manufacturing concern. That’s the reason others don’t meet the E-M-F Company guarantee. s The Flanders 20 at $700 and the E-M-F #30” at $1000 is an automobile valuation down to the peony. There are no hotel bills, no railroad fares or discounts incorporated in these prices. Every man pays the same price the world over. The gigantic selling powers of the Studebaker Co., is a business proposition, from the manufacturers to the customers. There are no distributers, in short the dealer is work- ing for the manufacturers and is paid a fair amount for the duties he performs. Look Them All. Over, Mr. Business Man. It’s only a business proposition. -Make your investiga- tion a thorough one. It will please us. If you're the sort of man we’ve had in mind in this talk, you'il look us up, the nearest E-M-F Company dealerand write your check for $1,000.
