CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

The Republican committee of the
Sixth district met in St. Cloud last
week and decided to hold the con-
gressional convention in Anoka, at
a date yet to be designated by the
chairman of the committee, l.. M.
lWlllcuts of Duluth. The members
OF, the committee were of unani-
nous opinion that Congressman
Morris would meet with no oppo-
sition in convention; but that re-
nomination would be a corded him
without the least protest from any
quarter. This is as it should be.
Mr.. Morris has represented this dis
trict satisfactorily ard with dignity.
He has met with the inevitable
embarrassment consequent upon
the distribution of patronage. 1t
has been impossible, from the very
nature Of thi1es, to satisfy every
one. 1t is possible that he has not,
in every instance, pursued the
Wisest course. But he has done
the best possible. He could not.
under the pressure and counter
pressure brought to bear, always
make the Wisest selection. 1t is
enough to know that in every in
stance he acted consclentiously,
and as he believed to be for the
hest. But the paiceling out of Off
GERS, like the distribution of seeds,
is only an incident in the duties of
a congressman. On the graver
issues he has uniformly acted with
wisdom and discretion, and the in
terests of his district have been eff
fectively cared for. He is a. great
worker, has achieved influence
among his fellow members and the
various departments, and his rec
ord, during his brief service is all
that his most exacting constituents
could desire. That he has not &C
complished the impossible is con-
coded. He has not achieved in
months that distinction and notori-
ETY. which attaches to the leaders
of the house who have been in con-
tinuous service for many years.

Too Many Mothers Moved by Motives OF
Mistaken Deiicacy.
II have no patience" said a COM
Portable matron, with the idea that
girls in early life should be Gagged up
like ~canaries. Neither. of course. do /
believe that entire freedom Of action
should be accorded the young people.
except in cases where the girls are
gifted with a greater share OF sound
sense than usually falls to the lot of
young members OF my sex. 1t is easily
possible to strike the happy medium,
and / think / may claim to have met
with some success in that direction"
Considering that three OF her daugh-
tiers are happily married the matron's
claim was readily allowed by her au-
ditors, and she continued: ct is my
firm conviction that parents who are
in constant dread lest someone will
think that they are anxious to marry
their daughters are as indicate as
those who are constantly on the look
out for sons-in-law. | am not sure but
they do more harm in the world. For
tunately there may not be many OF
them, but there are some. 1t is one of
the firmly planted laws OF human ma
ture, and that, In fact, answers all the
questions about matrimonial inconsist-
encies. Doctors say nowadays that
whooping cough, measles and so-called
children's diseases are not necessary
evils to be gone through and got rid OF.
Children take them because their sys-
TENS are not strong enough to resist
them. But matrimony Is not a dis
ease. Daughters cannot be made germ
proof by isolation. 1t is a pretty
thought that the fairy prince will come
to Cinderella sitting in the ashes. but
1t Is an actual fact that the Cinderella
OF the fairy tale would have been Gin
derella in the ashes to the end OF her
days IL she had not gone to the ball.
Rational ideas OF cause and effect are
as good In general life as in education
or medicine. II the girl is not allowed
to meet the fairy prince she is liable
to take up with any housebreaker who
comes in at the window, or else abe
becomes one OF those silly creatures

the young men invited the girls 10 20

were bicyclers also, they never thought
II necessary TO say what kind OF a ride,
though a spin on a wheel is what they
had in mind when they extended the
courtesy. When they and the girls
parted the latter determined that this
was a good time to have a joke at the
expense Of the young men. TEs latter
appeared at the appointed hour next
afternoon and were dumfounded to
find the young m handsomely
dressed-to go carriage riding. With
the girls all dressed up 1t was OF
course impossible to ask them to
change their costumes. So one OF the
young men, cleverer OF wit than his
companion, apo!ogized for appearing In
bicycle costume, laying the blame on a
faulty tandem which they had been
riding. Begging the girls to excuse
them for half an hour they hurried
away to their hotel, changed their
clothes and ere long returned with q
handsome rig. All enjoyed the drive,
especially the girls, who on their re-
turn mischievously informed the young
men of the joke that had been played
on them. The latter took 1t In good
part, but have determined, as said
above, that in future when making en-
gagements they will leave nothing TO
be understood.
