money expended in paying tolls on Ca

KNEW A TRICK, TOO
GOV. CLOUGH HELD UP A COUPLE
OF APPOINTMENTS AFTER
GIVING THEM UP.
THEY WILL NOT BE MADE NOW
PLEDGED THEMSELVES TO SUP
PORT CLOUGHS MAN
FOR THE PLACE HART HAS QUIT.
State Board of Corrections and
Charities Bids Fair to He In
vaded by Politics.

The state of mind Of c. Amundson,
OF st. Peter, and ]. H. Rich, of Red
Wing, two members of the old state
board Of corrections and charities
whose terms OF office expired the first
Of the year, is closely akin to
that of the man in the song so popular
a few years ago, of whom it was said
that the letter that he Ionged for
never came"
A week ago yesterday. being the first
Monday Of the new business year, a
number of appointments were given
out at the governors office to the
G o and Pioneer Press, among
them the names of Messrs. Rich and
Amundson, as being reappointed. Next
day Secretary Hart resigned Now,
whether the reappointment of these
men precipitated Mr.. Harris resigna-
ton, or whether he had been holding
the latter back that it might not affect
the chances of the gentlemen for re-
appointment, the G o b is not in a.
position to state authoritatively. The
latter, however, seems to be the most
reasonable view. especially as it is, ap-
parently, supported by the fact that
the commissions of the two gentlemen
reported to have been reappointed have
not been mailed to them.
Capitol gossip indicates, too, that
they will not be until the governor has
exacted from his appointees the right
to designate how they shall vote to
fill the vacant secretaryship. If Messrs.
Rich and Amundson will pledge them
selves to the governors favorite, the
appointments will no doubt be put in
the mails at once. But unless they do
it is a cinch that the old board will
be enlivened by the infusion of some
new blood. The board consists of sew
en- members, six of them, however, are
permitted to transact all the ordinary
business of the organization, the sew
enth member being the governor ex-
off1cio. The four hold-over members
are Prof. w. w. FolwelI, of the state
university; Condo Hamlin, of st. Paul:
c. P. Maginnis, Of Duluth, and ] B.
Wakefield, Of Blue Earth City. The
law provides that the members shall
be of opposite political faiths, but it
does not provide that the secretary
ship shall be given to any politician.
The governors idea, however, is re-
ported to be that the position is one
which may as well be filed by an &C
tive politician, and it is believed at
the capitol that one of the governors
most loyal Minneapolis adherents will
be chosen to the vacant secretaryship.
1t is expected that the appointments
which are now hung up will either be
let down or thrown in the waste basket
as soon as the governor hears from his
prospective appointees.' 1t will be
something new for politics to have any
voice in the deliberations of the board.
but that is the evident intent. With
two votes pledged to his own favorite,

regard their currents turn awry. and lose the
name of action We SO often forget that
the heavenly growth of a movement must be
a national one, and that small beginnings
end in great results. The reverberation of a
child's voice in the Alps has caused the dis
cordant outcry which tears down the noun
tain side. The practical lesson that this IL
lustration furnishes US is the following of
our good impulses, before they
lose the name of action. The hand
full of men who organized the Father
Mathew society 20 years ago made no such
mistake. They waited for no great advent
to signalize them a beginning, nor did they
even require a large following. They chose
their course Of action irrespective of what
others would do"
Rev. Father Lawler followed Mr.. O'Brien,
and said in part: ANNIVERSARIES are pleasant
events to keep. II we could have such an
audience and such a programme we might
wish them to come often. The ranks. Of the
old Father Mathew society are thinning year
by year yet the organization is growing in
popularity with each succeeding year. The
pioneers are being taken from us, but their
places are taken by others who catch the
spirit of the movement. There are many
beautiful things which could be said of this
parent organization of the temperance So
cieties in the state. The members of the
original are growing fewer and fewer year by
year, but they never surrender the prlnci-
pies to which they promised fidelity 20 years
ago.
