For one thing there is talk of op- position to Governor Eberhart next For an Minnesota is year. This leads us in the direction of Brown’s Valley where there lives an honest and upright citizen—Sam tordon by name and an editor by profession. . It was in the early part of 1862 that Sam first breathed the air of Minnesota, although for a few months previous to that he had inhaled In- diana ozone as the first exercise of his existence which on September 14 had covered a period of 50 years. It was in the winter of 1880 that he moved to Brown'’s Valley and pro- ceeded to assist his father juggle ma- chinery in an implement house. As time wore away Sam decided to frisk type and plows and harrows and in August of 1885 he launched the Inter-Lake Tribune which, without interruption, has continued to flourish to the pres- ent day. juggle a pen instead of TO SAVE NATION'S RESOURCES. The presence of President Taft, Secretary of the Internor Fisher, ex- Secretary James R. Garfield and Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, together with half a dozen governors, several United States senators and many of the fore- most educators, agricultural experts and business men of the nation, at the National Conservation Congress which opened in Kansas City today, lends added dignity to a convention the importance of which to the country at large can scarcely be over- estimated. This is the third conservation con- gress to be held. The first was held in Seattle in 1909 and was devoted chiefly to the consideration of the saving of the forests. In St. Paul last year the public land question was foremost. At the present congress the farmer and farm life forms the general topic, with especial reference to the question of soil fertility, its maintenance and improvement. During the three days of the con- vention addresses and papers will be presented that will command the at- tention of the nation, not only be- cause of their importance to the agri- cultural interests, but because of the prominence of the men who will pre- sent them. Beginning with the opening dis- course tonight by President Taft on the general subject of ‘“Conserva- tion,” the thousands of interested au- ditors who will fill: Convention Hall tomorrow and Wednesday will listen to addresses by noted men who know how the natural resources of the country have been wasted and who are best qualified to speak on the subject of their conservation. Secretary Fisher and former Secre- tary Garfield will speak on the same general subject assigned to President Taft. Senator Joseph L. Bristow of Kansas, who was formerly assistant postmaster general, will tell of- “The Farm and the Postal Service,” and Senator Gilbert N. Hitchcock, of Ne- braska, will speak on “Conservation in Congress.” Charles S. Barrett of Georgia, pres- ident of the Farmers’ Education and Co-operative Union of America, will be heard on the subject of “Cutting Out the Middle Man.” Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the famous pure food expért, will talk on “The Health of the Peo- ple.” Other speakers on subjects of general interest and importance will include Governors Hadley of Missouri, Stubbs of Kansas, Blease of South Carolina, Vesey of South Dakota and Kitchin of North Carolina. An imposing array of agricultural experts will deal with the practical side of farming and farm life. For- mer Governor W. D. Hoard of Wis- consin, who is America’s foremost au- thority on dairying, will talk on “Dairying and Soil Fertility.”” Other noted agricultural experts and their subjects are as follows: “The Live Stock Farm and Soil Fertility,” Dr. Frederick B. Humford, of the Uni- versity of Missouri; “Wornout Soil,” Prof. L. G. Hopkins of the University of Illinois; “Methods of Cultivation,” Prof. E. M. Ten Eyck of Kansas State Agricultural College; “The Trend of the Conservation Movement,” Dr. W. J. McGee, of the bureau of soils of the Department of Agriculture. In addition to the problem of soil fertility the congress will discuss good roads, the country school, the country club, the farmer and the rail- roads, the farmer and water trans- portation, the community club, the rural home, co-operation among far- mers, the live stock industry, child life on the farm, and the farmer and the Government. Twenty-five states are represented by delegates at the congress. Some of them are represented by their gov- ernors and the others by delegates appointed by them. ganizations also have sent delegates, among them the American Live Stock Association, the Grain Dealers’ Na- tional Association, the American In- stitute of Mining Engineers, the Pa- cific Northwest Association of Engi- neers, the Nebraska State Association of Commercial Clubs, the Cleveland National Live Stock Association, and the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Water Way Association. The Dominion Gov- ernment has given evidence of its in- terest in the congress by sending W. V. Atkinson, forester to the Canadian commission of conservation.

All of the state institu- tions of Minnesota need a thorough overhauling. The men in charge be- come calloused and unmindful of the needs of the ‘state’s wards. There should be a change and an immediate one at Red Wing.”"—Frank Day in St. Paul Dispatch. Of Personal Interest to Bemidji. The Great Northern depot at this place was built in 1864 and is with- out doubt the oldest station on the entire system. People here were hoping for a new depot this fall, but their hopes have been blasted again. The old shack has been given a cou- ple of coats of ox-blood paint, the trimmings painted a dark green and the whole sanded for about six feet up, and now it will probably do ser- vice for another quarter of a century. —Sherburne County Star News. Too Bad! i The St. Paul Dispatch in an edi- torial claims the attorney-general of the State only gets $4,800 a year, and the poor man can not live on such a measly sum. ; Too bad. ~The great trouble today is that our officials, as a rule, are paid too big salaries. Our State officials, the Dispatch to the contrary, need a substantial cut dowmward instead of a raise. Every county in Minnesota is ‘paying its officials twice or even more the sal- ary that the same men would com- mand in any-other pursuit or calling: Winnebago Press News. _ They Want a Change. When the “ladies” of the under- world are asked why men abandon more attractive-homes and women of their own to visit them, they are said to answer curtly, “They want a change.” Here is profound philosophy. All the world wants a change,-especially in- the hopeful and impatient time of youth. Here-also is the explana- tion of freak marriages, whether from the luxury of wealth and the glory of social eminence to humble obscurity or.the reverse. Eastern journals, gasping in -the supposed' summer: emptiness ‘of mat- ters of public interest—as if tem- perature could' stale or the flight of a few to sea or mountain could with- er the infinite variety of human na- ture—prose and bridle by the col- umn about the marriage of one school girl to the insupportable Astor and the elopement of another with her chauffeur. There is no mystery about either, and the motive is the same. Both girls want a change, and in our pret- ty, willful American fashion rush af- ter it in the primrose path of ro- mance. It is romance just fhe same to them, whether they dream of rich- es in the arms of decay, or of love in the embrace of poverty. One comes home from school to a Newport mansion to sicken of the toilsome routine of dressing for a treadmill round of-coming-out enter- tainments, and takes-to the open road in a modern’ chariot with love at the helm. Another returns to narrower domestic schoolmates tell of and barters her fresh young beauty to an infectious ruin for wealth and station. It’s a toss-up which girl gets tired first. - They order these things better in France.—Minneapolis Tribune. R R R R R R R RO R R R Rl @ COMMUNICATIONS. - & OO OOOOOD90 00O As to Capital Punishment. To the Editor: Several correspondents have con- demned the law passed by our last Legislature abolishing capital pun- ishment. Their conclusions are, as far as I can see, only based on guess- work, not facts supported by statis- ties. It has been proven beyond a’ shadow of doubt that 26 to 50 per cent of crime is caused by liquor. This leads to the conclusion that there is another far better way pos- sible to prevent crime than to butch~ er the criminal. Let us not criticize any law-making body for passing good laws. —S. A. Sigvaldson “Laugh and the World aughs With You,”, The poet was right-—there is noth- ing so catching as joyous laughter. Next to a kiss a laugh is the most popular thing in the world. The supply of kisses is limited, being largely controlled by a fair but capri- cious trust. The supply of laughs, however, is practically unlimited so long as you don’t get too grouchy to look for them. One reason for the remarkable success of The Chicago Record-Herald is its daily recogni- tion of the value of Kkindly, whole- some fun. The “Alternating Cur- rents” column of S. E. Kiser, the humorist and poet, is one of the brightest things in American jour- nalism. And there is always.a smile or a goodlaugh in Ralph Wilder'scar- toons, bringing a ¢heery greeting as you pick up the paper each morning. But it is in The Sunday Record- Herald that one finds the most chuckles. The colored comic section is full of laughter for young and old, and these amusing illustrations are free from the vulgarity and mischiev- ous suggestions that have barred so many comic sections from refined homes. Then there is always a lot of high-class humor in the Sunday Magazine of The Record-Herald, led by Sewell Ford’s inimitable Shorty McCabe stories. The delectable Shor- ty and his red-headed rival, Torchy, have become so popular that one or the -other now appears in a funny yarn almost every Sunday. The Rec- ord-Herald has the right idea. Clean humor doubles the welcome of a good newspaper.
