SENATORIAL ELECTIONS.
j. Adam Bede Favors Change in the
Present Method.

j. Adam Bede Favors a Change in the
Present Method.
There are still those who from prin-
ciple oppose the popular election of U.
S. senators, holding that the senators
represent the State while the members
of the house represent the people.
This is distinction without any differ
ence in this country. The State and
the people are the same fellow here.
The system was adopted from the
British parliament, but there the lords
are presumed to represent one class
while the commons represent another.
But in our government senator, aside
from the length of his term of office,
and the manner of his election, is just
as close to the common people as a
member of the lower house. He comes
from the same class, and after the first
org anization of our government most
of our senators have been men who
had previously served it the house.
So the claim that senators represents
anything but the people is purely a
fiction. When the government was
established many of our forefathers
we're afraid the people might get ex-
cited and smash things to pieces with
out due deliberation, so they divided
the senate into three classes each Of
which is chosen for six years, and
placed the election in the hands Of the
Legislatures. The six years term
serves to make the senate sufficiently
conservative while the dead locks and
alleged bribery in many States has

~ ri bile the last meeting of the COM
mlssloners was supposed to be a very
ordinary routine meeting, one thing
came up which was of considerable i'm
portance to the taxpayers of the
county. For some time there has been
affecting that an attempt should be
made to retire some of the outstanding
bonds OF the county, even if they had
not yet reached maturity, and thus cut
down the interest paid annually. =.
Commissioner Cundy was appointed
9 committee to see what could be done
about the matter, and at the last meet
ing he reported that one person, who
holds seventeen of the bonds, was
willing to surrender them, providing
the interest coupons, due in July, were
taken up. After the board had fully
considered the offer, the members
voted to accept it, anG fixed May 4,
next, as the date on which to retire
the. ST., 900 worth of bonds.
This action of the board will receive
the hearty commentator of the tax
payers, and the commissioners are to
be congratulated upon the decision
they have made. F..

:. The State auditors department. has
just done a little figuring to ascertain
whether. Leech or Mile Laos lake Is
the larger. The matter was investi-
gated at the request of citizen, and
the information was secured from the
records of the government surveys,
Mile Laos lake comes out the winner,
the figures showing that its area is
l24, 64O.5 S. acres, while Leech lake oc-
cupies 110,020.66 acres, that would
otherwise have been occupied by pine
timber and Indians. This gives Mile
Laos l4,6l9.89 acres the better of the
argument, and proves it to be the
second largest lake within the borders
OF the State. Red lake is larger than

+ Inc treatlng haDlt is an exclusive
American custom, not existing in any
other country. 1t is a hospitable vice
that has become dangerous as welE as
an expensive nuisance. Just why a
man should consider it incumbent upon
him to take a friend into the nearest
saloon and purchase a drink for him,
as though he was an object of charity,
no one can tell. 1t is not too much to
say that the useles treating habit is
responsible for the greater part of
drunkenness. It is responsible for
starting thousands, every year, on the
road to intemperance. A young man
naturally seeks the association of his
fellows, of evenings when he is at leis-
ure. One insists upon having drink,
and will take no refusal. The victim
yields, and, of course, feels it necessary
to treat. in his turn. He thus becomes
accustomed to an occasional drink, a nd.
they become more and more frequent
as time passes. The fearful evil of all
alcoholic drinks is that they create in
the physical system what is commonly
described as the drink thirst. It is a
diseased condition of the body, in
which there is an unnatural craving
for stimulants, which can only be al
layed by more drink. Thousands of
men have INDUCED in drinking as an
occasional habit, until they found that
they had this craving for alcohol fixed
upon them. The drink: then becomes
Il permanancy, and when this happens,
not one in a thousand but follows the
same road, and arrives, sooner or later,
at the inevitable end-a drunkard's
grave. There is no young man, prob
ably, who starts out in life determined
to become sot So perverted moral
nature could only exist in "a monster.
The vast majority of those who are
confirmed drinkers, who have this
horrible, unnatural rum thirst fastened
upon them, regret it bitterly, and long
to be free from it. One of the many
physical evils of alcohol is that it
weakens the moral fibre and destroys
the will power. Those who have never
come under this baleful spell of rum
sheer at this weakness, because they
do not understand it. The victim is
an object of pity, not contempt. There
is but one hope for such men, and that
is to stop the manufacture and sale OF
it. If everyone knew thoroughly the
truth concerning rum there would be
no difficulty in uniting all men in the
effort to stop it's manufacture, to abol-
ish the saloon. and pulverize the rum

Don't Hurry.

There is rumor abroad that the In
dian reservations are about to thrown
open to settlers, and inquiries are be-
ginning to come in at the land Office
regarding the Leech Lake reservation.
This is probably caused by the agita-
ton in congress of the free homestead
bill. The bill has not yet been passed,
and if it becomes law it will require
a proclamation from the president to
open the reservation to settlers.

for universal military service is generally
recognized and the burdens it imposes are,

fiuence Of this service upon the national
character and the national development is
a complete refutation OF the pessimistic
American theories concerning the demoral-
izaton of military life. One who has served
