TO STANDf RECORD This is What R. C. Dunn Will Do, But Not On Johnson's Hade- to-Order Reports. Position Taken by Attorney General "Time for Grand-Stand Plays Has Gone By. Public Examiner Johnson has brought forth another report as the result of his im estimation into the official record of Robert C. Dunn while auditor of the State of Minne sota. This last chapter of a political serial was handed to the go\ernor, and in due piocess and time was placed in the hands of the attorney general There is but one thing to be done ith it The campaign will be on in a toitnight and justice to the man against whose record such a demon stration is being made, the report should be made public, that he be enabled to meet such charges as it con tains, if the,} are worthy of notice. The fact that Public Examiner John- State funds to a search through the files of the auditor's office for some thing that could be used to the dis credit of a State officer, must not be considered now. Whate\ er his rnoth e, he has made charges against a candidate for the highest executh office in the gift of the State He has assailed a record of official conduct, upon which Repub licans for several campaigns, have been dependent for their arguments. There should be no effort made to sup press the document. No friend of Robert C. Dunn's with authority from him or from his advisers would suggest such a thing, despite the fact that the twin city press hints at such a thing. Mr. Dunn feels that he can stand on his record. That is the argument upon which he is before the people a candidate for a further term of public servitude He has said time and again, that if he were to serve his terms as auditor over again, he would have done, in the interest of the State, precisely what he did do with timber trespass settlements and other official business. He has the confidence of an honest man in the public's spirit of fair play, and he does not want an part of Mr. Johnson's "findings" kept from the public. The public examiner's hand should be plaj ed to the finish. The people of Minnesota want to know and to h&\ the fullest knowledge of the truth or falsity of his charges. Examiner Johnson's department has been promising a political sensation to the State of Minnesota for the last year or more Up to date, he has failed to deliver. If he has the sensa tion, let the public be kept in suspense no longer. Let us have the report. Duluth News-Tribune. Donaliower's Policy son has prostituted his office, neglected many, who is now traveling in this the work for which he was appointed country investigating potash experi- and demoted time and energy and the ments was interviewed bj the Minne- "When the suits are filed they will become public property, at least in districts where they are filed. It is not the purpose of this department to tr-v these cases in the newspapers." These words were spoken by Attor ney General Donahower in relation to the Johnson report, when he referred to the filing of possible suits to test the claim being made that more money could have been collected from timber trespassers than was secured from them to the State by former Auditor Dunn. Attornev General Donahower has made manifest, ever since he assumed his present position, a disposition to administer the affairs of h,is depart ment, according to his oath of office and has disregarded the political sig nificance of his actions with praise worthy attention to his simple duty. There are eight} -three counties in the State of Minnesota, with county seats easily within reach of the press. If a suit is filed, in any one of them, there is no reason why the filing should not become public property at once. While the friends of Mr. Dunn, and Mr. Dunn himself, would vastly prefer immediate and searching publicity for the Johnson reports and their findings, the action of Attorney General Dona hower in insisting upon the conduct of his official business in a diginfied and official manner, cannot fail of com mendation. It is one thing to be sure that tres pass has been made and to be morally certain that the guilty party is known, and it is quite another thing to prove the trespasser's guilt in court. The State auditor may be fully convinced tht a certain lumberman or other tres passer has been stealing the State's timber. A hundred signs and condi tions may strengthen his belief in the guilt of the suspected man. The de nuded pine lands and the strong and rarely erring neighborhood or sec tional belief may operate to convince him, but the evidence available, while entirely sufficient to warrant moral certainty on his part, may fall far short of securing conviction under the law. Evidence of this sort must '*&&& i '**,**&$* be tangible before a court of law can recognize it. State Auditor Dunn has made many a settlement, that, in his belief result ed in bringing money back to the State treasury that could never have been obtained in court. It takes a fairish amount of sagacity to make trespassers pay when they, shrewd and not overscrupulous, are aware that the State cannot prove against them. Mr. Donahower knows this, and Mr. Dunn knew it, and Mr. Iver son, the present State auditor, has been aware of it. Robert C. Dunn, direct spoken and above-board," has a pardonable pride in his record, and when he left the auditor's office two jears ago, it was with the consciousness of ha\ing done his best in administering its aftairs. He is still of the same mind, and willing to go before the people foi endoisement Duluth News-Trib une. W RUST IS. Rotation Prof. H. A. Huston who is connected with the German Kali works of Leopoldshall-Stassford, Onhalt, Ger- apolis Times the other day on rust. Prof. Huston said. "Rust is an infection which attacks wheat and prevents the sap from reaching the head of the stalk, and thus pre\ ents the grain from forming and maturing. The extent of the damage which rust can do all depends on the strength and sturdiness of the wheat. If the grain is growing in good soil, rich with the phosphates neces sary to its maintenance, it will be stronger than the rust and will there fore not be noticably effected by it. *If. on the other hand, the wheat is planted in soil that is exhausted from raising many continuous crops of wheat, the plant is weak and is easy prey to the rust plague. "These conditions being admitted, the best way to rid the country of the rust evil seems to be to raise wheat that will withstand the rust, and the only logical way to do this is by a perfect rotation of crops. To mv mind and from the studies which I have made, it seems to me that the ideal rotation for the wheat country of this State and of the two Dakotas is wheat and red clover. "After the wheat is harvested the clover should be planted and allowed to grow during the following summer. In the fall it can be cut and plowed under. The crop is a good one and will pay handsome interest on the land, while the value of the soil for wheat on the next year will be greatly en hanced. "Closer has the faculty of gathering nitrogen about its roots and nitrogen is absolutely necessary for good wheat crops. "All of this talk about rust being a new thing is wrong. Rust has always been present in the wheat fields, but the crops have been so sturdy before and the we'ather conditions have been such that the infection has never gained any widespread strength. The salvation of the Minnesota and Da kota wheat fields lies in some perfect rotation of crops.'' Professor Huston talked interest ingly of the potash mines with which he is connected. The' mines are twenty-six in number and are the only ones of their kind in the world. Pre vious to 1860, when they were first worked, all of the potash in the world was procured from hard wood ashes and was used largely in making chemical compounds and soft soap. The Prussian mines now produce an annual output of 5,000,000 tons of potash, worth $50 per ton, and the supply is practically inexhaustible. Professor Huston says that the United Satest is now using about one-fourth of the total output of the mines and is every year using more. Milaca Town Out of Debt. rrof. Huston bayjs it is Caused by Lack of have parted with their vermiform ap- Town Clerk O. E. Larson of Milaca township, was a caller at the Times office Monday on business connected with his office, and accidentally re marked that the township has now cancelled all of its floating indebted ness. Eight years ago the township separ ated from Milaca village and was quite heavily involved in debt. There were only a dozen or two settlers in the township at the time and with no roads or bridges affairs looked a lit tle dubious. It is said that the town at the time of separation was com pelled to assume indebtedness that should have been equally shared by the village. However that may be, the township has taken such steady strides forward in progress and development that now, besides a good many miles of the fin est kind of graded roads, they have paid up all floating indebtedness and have a small sum left in the treasury. This record is simply splendid and shows that the affairs of Milaca town ship have been exceptionally well managed. County Commisioner Deans states that the town board of Milaca can build more road with less money than any other town board in the county.Milaca Times.

Millions have been expur gated and excised of that curious sur vival. Indeed, a person known to be possessed of one is not merely unfash ionable: he is regarded with some thing between pity and contempt by those who ha% ceased to wear an ap pendix. But what was the genesis of the ver miform appendix? This is a question of mild scientific or archaeological in terest. In the New York Medical Rec ord Dr. Alfred Moore of Memphis makes a preliminary report on "The Origin of the Vermiform Appendix." The report is illustrated by some archaic or pre-Raphaelite drawings of extraordinary merit, but is clear enough without them. Dr. Moore has studied the subject long. He has tried to connect the appendix "with nearly every organ in the body," and he has "finally concluded that, as other organs are formed from two or more structures, possibly the ap pendix might have been formed in the same way." He tried to figure it as the letter H, but at present he finds it "diagram matically more like than H. Science must have her way, but the lay mind will continue to insist that the letter denotes and expresses the appendix admirably and thoroughly. We have not permission to repro duce a graphic delineation of what the unlearned eye takes for an anchor and chain, but Dr. Moore's theory is given in simple, non-technical lan guage which is a sufficient picture to the layman: "The appendix was the distal end of a tube that led from the vitellus to the lower end of the embryo, and that the proximal part finally developed into the colon, or otherwise the large intestine: that the unbilhcal vesicle and duct, of which the small intestines formed the proximal part that the two parallel tubes joining by the un billical duct becoming tortuous and touching the other tube at one point, which is the most prominent part of its convexity in one of its turns, union takes place, the sacculation is in creased, and the unbillical duct atro phies and is necessarily removed from the lother tube by the rapid growth of the small intestine which fact ac counts for Meckel's diverticulum, when present, being so far away from its fellow. After communication be tween the two tubes, the large intes tine increases in size and the caecum is formed." Nothing but the distal end of a tube! To this complexion has this once proud organ come at last. Imperial Caesar died and turned to clay, suffered no greater decline and fall-off.New York Sun. Sealskin and Muskrat.
