The Minnesota Legislature has one
good thing to recommend it. 1t requl-
.ers no great intellect to understand what
1t is doing. Prison Mirror.
True enough, but isn't it strange that
it should adopt such a tedious, expens-

porter.
Better not be too hasty in drawing
your conclusions, Bro. Huntington.
There is no telling how soon the august
judicial body, known as the Supreme
court, will change its mind and reverse

decisions have been handed down from
the supreme bench, but the failure to
stand By them is what gives rise to COM
plaint The farce in connection with
the income tax law is fair illustration,
and what is there to hinder repetition!

It is shameful attitude and the ia
