Government by Comm issiOn.

Time was when congress met to frame
laws for the people, while the executive
department confined itself to admins
tering the laws. Things are different
now. For instance, the whole country
agrees that we need change in the
currency lays. Instead Of congress go.
ing to work framing bill, self consti-
tuted monetary commission frames
bill and submits it to the executive with
instructions to secure its enactment.
The part OF congress is simply to put
this ready made law into effect. Great
is government by commission.-Spirit

GET SECOND PAPERS
strong Appeal to County Chair
man.

To County Chairmen of the Peonle's
Party There are about 200 900 per-
sons IN this state who need their second
papers to enable them to vote at the
next election. How many Of these are
fopullsts l do not know, but in the
strong Populist county of Norman there
are 1888 foreign born and ONLY GS7
native born electors; in Kittson county
there are 1858 foreign born and only
2o8 native born electors. This would
Indicate that there are about $4,000
Popullsts in the state who need their
second papers. Second papers must be
secured three months before election
day; Aug 8, 1898. Is the last day to get
them in time to vote at the next cleo
ton. The law applies to primary cleo
lions. No one is entitled to take mart
IN primary elections unless he has had
had his second papers three months be-
fore the primary is held. In order that
you may know how to proceed I give
the following rules:
O. The applicant must have re-
sided In the United States five years
and IN this state one year Immediately
preceding the application.
(2). Second papers cannot be issued
until two years after first papers are
granted.
~. You must have your first papers
or certified copy Of them when Won
apply for second papers. If you have
lost them write to the clerk of the dis
tr1ct court where you got them, sending
him so cents and he will send a certified
copy.
IA. You must have, at least. one
witness who is full citizen and who
mas known you for five years.
(5). The application must be made
to the clerk of the district court, who
Will make out the necessary papers:
the examination takes place before the
judge; the fee is 81.
Ii these rules are followed there will
be little trouble. I suggest that the
county committee appoint a committee
at once to consist of at least one men,
Der from each voting precinct In tbe
county, who will report to the chairman
and secretary the name and address OF
each person in his precinct who needs
second papers. The chairman should
correspond with the judge Of the dis
trict court and have day set when
he will be in the county for the purpose
OF granting second papers, Ask the
judge If he will require more than one
witness. Only one is required in Hen
nepin county. Notify each committee
man to have his people at the time and
place set. When any one has secured
his second papers he can be witness
for the others. This may save bringing
many witnesses. 1t may be well to call
county mass meeting to get this mat
ter going in dead earnest. If one is
called and you need an outside sneaker
let me know and l will send you one
OF the best In the state for his expenses
only. l have list who have volunteer
ed to do SO. If any point arises about
getting second papers you do not under
stand let me know and 1 will answer it
by return mail. Write me a letter
about how you are getting along and /
will have 1t published to let others
know what you are doing. 1t may spur
them to action. The time Is short and
the work is great. I hope this matter
will be taken up at once and pushed
with vigor.
