Braid has passed many stages be-

fashionable manner now necessitates
a good eye for effects. Dresses are

The classical era of German paternalism
was the second half of the eighteenth century.
It's most Industrious opponents were Frederick
the Great, Joseph II of Austria and his bro
Their, Leopold, Of Tuscany. Frederick's motto:
Il am but the first officer of my state" was
honestly lived up to. The king, following
the example set by his father, believed it to
be his duty and his right, to take care OF
each and all of his subjects, and to make
them happy by official authority. His efforts
met with success. Agriculture, commerce.
industry were put under a we'll regulated
system and assiduously fostered. The energy
of the king made itself conspicuous everywhere
Swamps were drained, bad land converted in
to fertile soil, canals and good roads were
constructed, new settlers provided with
homesteads and industries created and sup
ported. When Frederick died in 1856 he not
only left his treasury well filled with cash
and an army supposed to be invincible but
the great mass Of the people enjoyed also an
average of happiness not known since the
Thirty Years war.

the king had fed to the Russian boundary
and nothing was left of the old power and
glory. The successors of Frederick the
Great were indeed small men compared with
him, the Incompatible, but disaster had not
been brought about by mistakes or faults of
Frederick William II or Frederick William
III. The whole structure Of the state OF
Prussia had been made weak and frail, even
before the death of Frederick. BY this pater-
nalism which left nobody competent to think

eral Of Berlin, Count Schulenburg who, after
the battle of Jena, could do nothing better
than to issue proclamation to the people
stating: 1.-The king has lost a great battle
Now the first duty of every citizen is to keep
quiet. Men are men and not machines
He, who instead of relying upon his own eff
forts, Is accustomed to wait for the decision
of q paterral government cannot succeed in
the struggle of life, least of all in times of
such emergencies.
1t is the everlasting glory OF the statesmen
Of the past Napoleonic period that they
thoroughly abandoned the paternal system Of
government. The greatest and most ener-
getic representative Of individualism was
Stein, the greatest statesman ever produced
by Germany. Looking over the Prussan
statutes of the period Of reconstruction after
Jena we find that each and everyone wages
war against the paternaI system of govern
ment. Protective duties for manufactures

Suggested Institution for Young
Children,

Senator Stevens introduced bill pro-
viding for the establishment of a state
institute for crippled and deformed
children. The bill provides that any
crippled or deformed child, who is suf-
fering from disease from which he is
liable to become crippled, may be adj
mitted, provided it has been a resi-
dent of the state for a year or more,
and if, in the opinion of the superin-
tendent, he can be improved. Treat
ment will be free, but patients must be
provided by relatives, friends or the
counties from which they come with
sufficient funds for clothing, postage
and transportation.
INDECENT persons admitted are to be
charge on the counties in which they
reside.
The bill provides for six directors,
not more than three Of which shall be
members of the same political party,

not be new to official life in the capital In

days under the shadow OF the big dome. Mrs.
Sherman is the only daughter of the late
Judge James Stewart of Ohio, who was one
of the ablest jurists of the state In the early
part of the century. The family lived at
Mansfield. and young John Sherman no
sooner saw his way clear in life than he at

of the judge. The marriage was a pure love

TRAVELLING LIBRARY BILL.
Senator Greer's Scheme Is Recon-
mended for Passage.

There was some debate over the
Greer travelling library bill, Senator
Ringdal opposing the idea of creating
another commission. Senator Stevens
wanted to amend it to provide that
county school superintendents should
cooperate with the commission Sen
atol Miller moved that the superin-
tendent of public instruction, president
Of the university and state librarian
constitute the Commission Senator
Ringddl thought the state nigh school
inspector might be added.
Senator Greer accepted the Stevens
amendment. but not the other. He
urged that the request of the women S
club be granted, that the bill be so
drawn that they could be given repre-
sentation on the commission. Then
they could help their project to a full
success. Mr.. Miller withdrew his
amendment, and the bill was then
recommended to pass.

remains in the family. 1T is said that, being
the daughter and the wife Of a lawyer, Mrs.
Sherman could not avoid absorbing some
thing of the law. And she did. The story
goes that she can draw up almost any
KIND Of legal document, with all the neces-
sary and confusing technique, quite ably
as her distinguished spouse. The SENATOR
WIFE has been less written about, perhaps,
than the wife Of any other public man in the
retiring and modest disposition and her posi-

reason she has never desired social display.
her life with the senator has been as un-
ostentatlous as 1t has been happy. The Sher-
mans nave had no children, but Mrs. Sher-
H I mas been a more than good mother to
TWO or three adopted children. In one more
year she will have been the wife of John

of Minneapolis, has been summoned to
appear before the committee at that
time. In the event that Mr. Wilkinson
fails to appear, the committee will ask
the senate to send the sergeant-at-

has so sorely offended the members oe
the committee. If he does appear, and
has no plausible explanation of his
utterances rejecting on the committee,
then the programme will be for the
committee to ask that Mr.. Wilkinson
be summoned to the bar of the senate,
there to receive it's censure with proper
formality.

ONLY A FEW NOSES
When the Memorial Bill Was Finally
Passed.

When the Memorial day dissertation
bill came up for its final passage, Sen
atOr Yale said that, while he yielded
to no man in his reverence for the day,
he was doubtful of the advisability
of the passage Of the act. In Winona
this bill would close twenty saloons,
leave twenty open. That was sugges-
tive of class legislation, but the chief
objection to the bill, he believed, was
that it was an effort to make people
do by law what they would not other
wise do.
A call Of the senate was had before
action was taken on the bill.
Few senators voted against it, there
being only senators Cole, Hanna, Hits.
Jones, McHale, Reishus, Ringdal,
ROverud, Yale.

So Recommended Yesterday
DOings of That BODY.

The house end of the conference COM
mittee on reapportionment has not as
yet reported the disagreement which
was maintained up to the end Of the
last meeting Of the joint committee,
and it is given out that the reason for
Withholding this report is that the
senate members of the committee have
shown a disposition to confer farther,
and there is still a chance of a recon-
citation between the two branches Of
the body.
1t is further reported that the senate
conferrees have secured, practically,
tie consent of the house contingent to
the selection of committee of IA from
the senate and 10 from the house, with
the understanding that the committee
elect a house member chairman and
give him the naming of a sub-commit-
tee to draw up the plan, which will
give the house as good a chance as
though it had the double representation
at first asked for.
No meeting of the joint committee APP
pointed to investigate the disclosures
in respect to the deal by which Anoka

been called as yet, but nevertheless
The project is not being left in quiescent
condition. Anoka has an enthusiastic
lobby on the ground every minute Of
the time, and the capital of Dakota
county is not manifesting any inclina-
ton to risk its chance by a tacit SUBJ
mission to the will of fate.
Both sides yesterday expressed the
belief that the committees appointed in
the respective branches of the Iegis-
lature We're eminently fair, and the
Hastings people argued it was a guar
antee that the investigation would be
sweeping. Anoka, of course, claims
that there is nothing to investigate, the
only purpose of the delegations at pres
ent in the city, being, it is insisted, to
prevent the binding of the eyes Of the
committee to the facts in the case by
appeals to sectional prejudices.
