U. S. Senator Clapp came home from Washington last week, but will awt be at the state capitol when the legislature elects a senator. He expressed the opitjon that there would be no opposition to his re- election, FAREWELL OLD YEAR. The old year will soQn have past into history. We part with it as with am old friend. To some it has brought much joy—to others sorrow. Yet we are reluctant) to say farewell. Like a palsied man it totters as it nears the end of life’s journey and goes for- ward towards that vast vault wherein dowh lie the forms of dead dynasties and sheeted centuries swept by the remowseless, hand of time ta that great graveyard at the entrance of which raises the imaginary tomb- stone upon which is inscribed these words: 'THE PAST. There is a sub- jime solemnity in the slowly mov- ime, yel never varying, tide of years. marked hours, days, weeks, months, years and fenturies, yet it rushes om, on, on, and still on, utterly unmindful of the pumy marks raised to measure the tide that Dynasties rose, flourished and decayed; cities have sprung from fertile plains and then sank beneath the desert’s drifting sands; continents have rear- ed their bofty brows above the ocean's trackless waste, only to re- coral caverns from races have risen Man has its course into never tires. have turn to the fhence they rose; noon of splendor and become the depths of night, but plodding, tireless, , sweeps on with the same regu- when it first issued forth hollow of God's hand, to the chant of the morning stars that And is but the image of eternity, a shoreless sea, for which pages past and all the aeons would not make = or first faint flush of streak of the dawn of its morning. ‘Eternity!

This “land of the free and home of the) brave” is getting to be a stamd- ing joke, espedially % northern Min- nesota, where we have been Russian- ted and our liberties ravished by a dize™ or so of the rifraff of the country who have been vested with federal authority to accuse and con- <demn men of alleged misdemeanors without the constitutional right of trial by jury. Smali marvel, indeed, that everywhere we hear open ex pressions of contempt for the judici- while a sentiment akin to an- may be found in every city, », hamlet,on the broad prairies ary, archy wv ‘f the woods throughout the length and breath of our country. However much we may whistle to keep up courage, however optimistic- | Duluth, ally we may sing our national an- that a consiantly growing sentiment of un thems the © fact remains rest and revolt against the encroach- ment of federalism upon the consti tutianal a following im our country that is reaching alarming proportions. As a fair illustration read the following from the Aitkin Independent: “Aitkin bas now also rights of the people finds | |all the rights. Last Monday Dep- juty James M. Quinn arrived im Aitkin and visited a number of places where he thought intoxicants might possi- ‘ly be found, including the drug stores. “He found a little malt which he claimed might contain more than the’ perscribed one-half of one per |cent! of alcohol, and had it shipped out. At the drug stores he stated thati he would allow them to carry not to exceed! two gallons of alcohol Yor medical purposes, but that he would have to request that everything over that amount, together with a liquors, wines, bitters amd condials be shipped out. Im one drug store he personally indicated the stuff he considered contraband, among which was a case of Samdford’s Royal bjack ink #m bottles and his orders were cheerfully and dutifully compli- ed with. “On Tuesday the deputy came back here to see that his visit was not fruitless, but he found that his sug- gestions had been complied with to the letter, and he returned to Brain- erd. Perhaps it is now safe to open a bottie of imk.” To be sure this is not a matter of monumental concern in itself, but it is one of the thousands of incidents to be noted in alll sections where the genera] government is assuming au- thority, when the state or county or municipality should be the su- preme judge and executive. The United States government is attempting to inaugurate a policy tpat iS dangerous to the safety of the republic. —_— —_—— GREAT IS MINNESOTA. In his annual report State Auditor Iverson calls attention to the figures on ore shipments for 1910, that of ‘the 42,736,302 tons mined and shipped from Michigan, Wisconsin and Minne- so‘a mines, 30,357,482 tons or 71 per cent were mined and shipped from Minnesota and that 60 per cent of all the iron ore used in the furnaces in the United States now comes from Minnesota. The: state tax commission May 1 listed 1,347,596,291 tons of iron ore @n the known iron, bearing lands af the state and this is being in- creased each year by new explora- tions. The possibilities of the use rof the vast peat beds in the state there- are also cited. Mr. Iverson fore considers Minnesota one of the greatest producers of mineral wealth in the union and he believes the sghodl of mines might be made of such practical use to the people by bringing it in close contact with min- ing explorations and actual mine de velopments. If a school of mines is to be established, it should be located in the mining section of the state,, students would have easy access to the practical side of the science to be taught. a as R. C. and H. H. Dunn are in no way related, but R. C. seems to think there’s something in a name. This is what he says ip, his Princeton Uniogi: | “Hop. H. H. Dunn will be speaker of the Minnesota house of representatives and he will give every member and every interest a fair deal. His name alone is a suffi- cient guarantee thai he is all right.” where “DEMAND FOR JUSTICE. There is no uncertainty as to the determination of Northern Minnesota to be heard from, North- western Agriculturist. A recent meet img of the boosters or developers of that part of the state, which held at Braiperd, was a pronounced success. It was full of enthusiasm, of energy and of good, practical hard sense. Hon. W. R. Mackenzie, secre- tary! of the convention and founder of the cause, is deserving of great | praise and congratulations upon the |success of his idea. This. meeting at Brainerd was the third of a seri | There will be another one held at increasing says the was for interest is |throughout the entire northern part of the state. The Duluth mecting | will be the anudi session of 1911, and it is expected that the next .meet- \qng after Duluth will be held at Warroad in 1912. This means a permanent organization for develop- ing and. advertising Northern Minne- sota, and for. demanding of the legis- jature a fair reapportionment, so la‘fair representation in the legisla- ture. Governor Eberhart made a vigor- ous address in which he pledged th whole strength of his influence, even ita the extent of caillimg an extra session of the legislature, im case a reapportionment bil} failed to pass at the regular session. It is pro- posed that reapportionment, shall be made without increasing the number of representatives from the entire state in the legislature. The convention yoted for the im mediate enforcemept of the one-fort, ofj a mil levy for good roads, ani fn increase to one mill in the near | the elongated and illustrious George, | future. They demand the passage of a law permitting consolidated rural schools that will be used as farmers’ libraries and social centers, as weil ap for the purpose of educating the children in the scientific agricultur- | al methods and manual training.

We wish it | all prosperity. | ea eg ae Governor Eberhart promises to give the people of Minnesota a busi- ness administration entirely relieved of influences that attempt to con- troll the executive's actions by coens- tive methods. He realizes the great injury that is being done northe: n Minnesota through the advertising that necessarily follows the action oc the Interior depariment and the| Indian bureau i the effort to in- stitute federa} management of — the affairs of this section. He has undertaken to show the president anc Secretary Ballinger the futility and folly of the abortive attempt that has been made to inaugurate prohi- bition. He did this because he knew bis position was rght. He was de fending the good name of his state. In doing so he did not take i: cons'deration the fanatical hordes that will at once begin a campaign of slander and falsehood against him ahd belie his every act and utteratie as chief executive of the comm | wealth, But somehow Governor Bber- | hart doesn’t seem ito be cringing to any particular clique or clan. . He was elected by the people of all sections of the state and he evident- ly proposes to serve ail alike without fear or favar. Talk about coming back! Dr. Cook | the great Artic romahcer, came back. A few days ago he practically ad- miitted that he was mentally derang- ed whep he claimed to have stopped off at! the north pole on a tour of imspection. But now that he finds himself free from crimina) prosecu- tion for claimfng to have reached the aforesaii extremity of the earth’s axis, the doughty doctor has taken om new courage, and has # potion, it seems, to revive the old story and may again take to *he stump with his lecture. Does anybody really know whether Peary is a fake 01 not? The scientific editor of this publication has not been gramted an opportunity to view the original evi | dence ip the case and hence he wiih- holds his final decision. Anyhow Cook came back. aie Se Our county option friends of Min- nesota are in a bad mix-up among themselves and they are all madder’n hornets after the bad ‘boy has dis- turbed their nest with a well-directed stone. It’s al] about the speaker- ship. Somehow the other fellows got the lead and a majority of the selves to Dunn, an anti-county op- tionist. Now the sumptuary and blue Jaw crowd are hurling polished pro- fanity at each other for going to sleep on the job. They claim that it wais in their power to have named the speaker of the house if the trust- ed leaders had got busy.
