ent secretary. Mr.. Webster, tf go dis
posed, may when his successor ia elect
ed by the new board, decline to s,,rren
der the records of the board. on the
ground that the board as then organiz
ed is not legally constituted. in which
event the question OF the legality of
the pharmacy law would be determin
ed. In this case its lis TO be understood.
ne cessaI'ily, that any belligerent dispo-
sftlon is attributed to Secretary Web
ster, except in SO far as his LOYALTY to
the Pharmaceutical association NAV in
sptre him to force the legal question
to judicial determination Of the is
sue from the shoulders Of the senate

The tangle in which the senate finds itself
on the proposition that the unseating of Day
Will defeat the Anderson bill is proving a
source OF great qualification to the Poprfst
members of that body who voted solidiy for
Day. Senator Hanna Is reported to have said
that il the bill is defeated in the courts ON
the basis OF Days dislodgment that the eff
feet of the decision will be nothing else but
the election of Frank Day as governor of
Minnesota two years hence. The Repub-
licans profess to believe that II this is the
only contingency on which Days friends
base their future hopes, they are not to be
feared, and insist that the resolution intro
duced by Senator Cole yesterday morning was
intended only to prevent any possible legal
or parliamentary complications arising from
the senate's action. II there is any fight made
on the baw, they claim, it will be on the
contention that the law inyalidates the gross
earnings tax, and the Republican lawyers In
the senate. some of them at least, insist that
tie claim OF invalidation of the Anderson
bill by Days unseattng would be thrown out
OF any right-mnded court as irrelevant IL
not as frivolous.
Granville S. Pease, of the Anoka Union
was at the Windsor last night. Granville's
town is the proud poSsessor OF a fine hos
p1tal site on which there is as yet no hos
pital, and the Anoka editor is down here no
doubt to look after the interests of the town
which sits at the mouth of the Rum. The
Anoka people are watching with an interest
that would amount to a qualification but for
It's dependence on growing human misery,
the gradual erowding of the three insane hos
pitfalls already existing in the state. which
is the most potent argument that can be
presented to the legislature in behalf OF
speedy action in connection with the fourth
hospital
