On Tuesday Governor Eberhart exercised his right of veto for the first tim and sent back to the house the Nolan public utility bill. This bill provided that city councils should have complete control over public utility corporations operating within their city limits. It was a patch work bill inasmuch as it provided control for certain classes of corpora- tions which do not operate exclus- ively within any one city. Telephones were exempted from the Nolan bill and were covered by the Minnette bill which provided that telephone rates should be regu- lated by the railroad and warehouse commission. The principles involved in these two bills are directly op- posite to each other. The Nolan bill would let each municipality regu- late its own public utility corpora- tions. The Minnette bill would place one class under state control. Governor Eberhart's action will be regarded favorably by those who wish to see ward politics absolutely eliminated in Minnesota. The Nolan bill was designed to hit one Minne- apolis company only but could have been applied elsewhere in the state under similar conditions. Why the legislature should recognize the principle of state control in* one measure and then repudiate it in an- other is hard to see. The Pioneer is in favor of a state regulation of public utilities. There are many reasons for urging such a control, many of which the governor stated in his message. His veto re- moves the possibility, since the house apparently cannot muster enough votes to pass the bill over the veto, of corruption between councils and public utility managers for at least two years. If the present legis- lature will see fit to establish a pub- lic utilities commission with power to r'egulate all rates, the problem can be well settled at once. The Wages of Sin. Early in the morning of January 3, 1911, the clerk in the McKay hotel in Duluth was held up and robbed by two young boys, Charles Melodrow ski and Algot Johnson. In attempting to escape they were captured by Pa trolman Harry Chesmore. He put the boys on a car and started for the police station. He never arrived alive for Melodrowski shot him and he died at once. The two boys were tried. "Melo drowski was sentenced in life impris onment and Johnson for thirty years. They had aspired to be dime novel heroes and their smug satisfaction at the time of their trial was pathetic to see. Shortly after being sent to Stillwater, both boys contracted con sumption and Melodrowski soon died Johnson, who is now sixteen years of age, proved of tougher fiber and is alive today although his death is mo mentarily expected. He was released the first part of the week by the state board of pardons in order that he might die at home. Thus although capital punishment is no longer the rule in Minnesota, the death of these two boys can be traced directly to their taking of a human life. Minnesota for Banchers. A dispatch in a Sioux Falls, South Dakota, paper says that a severe snow storm recently swept over the Pine Ridge Indian reservation coun try and that many ranchers lost all of their stock. The dispatch says that the snow was so badly drifted that the settlers were able to get but one mail in two -weeks.'-^-^'/'J? -?i Minnesota must look like a haven of rest to those ranchers.' Here in the north, Minnesota offers^dthou- BAKING sands of acres -of. practically free range on which there is natural grass in abundance, shade and pure water. There are no severe storms in the winter and the drainage is such that floods are unknown. Minnesota needs the ranchers. They should in vestigate. Time for B. V. D.'s. Wasps appear to be wellnigh. as, in dustrious as ants or bees. One au thority has declared that the cardinal doctrine of the wasps is: "If any wasp will not work, neither shall he eat." Division of labor is clearly seen in the wasp's nest Some of the work ers seem to be specially employed as foragers and soldiers, others appear to be told off as nurses and guardians, while yet others are engaged as paper makers and masons. Wasps are at all times particularly fond of honey. Toward the ehd of summer, as all bee-keepers know, they will force their way into beehives and carry off by force as much as they can gorge of their winged neighbor's honey. The drones of the wasp world, in stead of being idle and luxurious, are sober, industrious and well-behaved members ot the community. They clean the streets of their town with exemplary diligence, acting as public scavengers or sanitary officers. And they have their reward, for, unlike the been drones, they live their allotted life in peace and quietness until"win ter involves both them and their maiden sister in one common cata clysm of death and destruction. Found a Cure for Rheumatism. "I suffered with rheumatism for two years and could not get my right hand to my mouth for that length of time," writes Lee L. Chapman, Maple ton, Iowa. "I suffered terrible pain so I could not sleep or lie still at night. Five years ago I began using Chamberlain's Liniment and in two months I was well and have not suf fered with rheumatism since."
