of the pine land committee in pre-
senting it's bill to the house? 1t was
generally understood that the bill
was ready for Introduction a week
ago, and it is said was to have
been introduced on the day when
Representative Sutton introduced
his resolution for a committee to
read the report. Even the members
of the legislature are "onto" the
pine land committee.
The hardest thing the newspaper
men have to do about the legislature
is to call Gov. Day anything but

The latest rumor is one to the eff
feet that Senator Sheehan will in

the bill will bear so very hard that
the court will be simply crushed out
of existence under it. Sheehan
seems to be kind of gun, and the
Republican party, without knowing
he was loaded, pulled the trigger
harder than it intended to.
Representative Johns is reminded
that yesterday was Thursday, and
there are several things which he
has not yet done this week.
Representative Robbins takes first
money when it comes to straighten-
ing out a gnarled problem of par
iamentary law with simple tool

mittee on judiciary was forecast
in the delegation meeting. AS it was,
each member declared that he had
heard nothing about it, but early in
the forenoon all were ready to bet
that Mr.. Warner would recall the
bill, though it was not done until
late in the day.

Senator Sheehan rather resents be-
ing referred to as a "reformer." That
word has been used as a cloak for
so many hypocritical schemes that
he doesn't like it. To q GLOBE re-
porter he said yesterday:
'The convention which nominated
me adopted platform calling for a
material reduction Of the compensa-
ton Of county and city officials
That platform meant what it said
or it did not mean anything. From
the TACT that nearly every man nom
mated on it was elected, I conclude
it meant just what it said That

out the implied pledge imposed upon
me or acknowledge myself a liar.

form, they were perpetrating a very
serious joke, for those bills will be
pushed to the utmost, and 1 want to
see who will oppose them.''
The Ramsey county delegation of
two years ago practically controlled
the legislature, and the capital bill
was the result. But then, come to
think of it, P. H. Kelly was chair
man of the Ramsey county delega-
ton two years ago.
If Representative Warner were as
deeply solicitous for favorable legis-
lation on the capitol bill as he was
in the matter of picking q winner in
the senatorial contest, and as he is
in giving some old thing to Sheriff
Chapel, the legislation for the new
capitol would be a good deal fur
ther along on general orders.
