"SHEV." IN CHARGE

Mr.. Mclaughlin left Brooklyn on Monday
afternoon to spend the summer at Peconic Bay
and simultaneously with his departure "the old
mans undCrstudy, Familiarity known as
"Shev.," appeared upon the scene in robust
health and spirits and fully prepared to sub

LET THEM BE FAIR

Minnesota is to be congratulated that
is promised so soon. Since 1891 the vot-
ers of this state have chafed under a
gerrymander that was manifestIy unfair
when adopted, and that has grown more
and more unjust as the then unsettled
districts in the northern part of the
state have developed and increased in
population. A glance at the map of tue
congressional districts, with the associa-
tons forcibly conferred on Isanti and
Kanabec counties, is sufficient to reveal
the political expediency which actuated
the designers of the congressional appor-
tionment.
Scarcely less unfair is the legislative
apportionment. 1t is not as bad as il
was before 1897, it is true, but that con-
cessions only, not justice, were given to
the northern portions of the state is a
notorious fact of the history of the re-
apportionment bill. The slip-shod way in
which st. Paul was cut up at that time,
necessita ting the passage of a remedial
act later, is an incident not unworthy
of mention as showing the lack of devo-
ton to its purpose with which this bill
was rushed through thoroughly parti-
san legislature.
When the new census figures come out
there will be no excuse for another ger
rymander. The present development OF
the state is along definite lines. With
the exception of limited area near the
northern boundary there is no portion
the material possibilities of which are
not as fully defined as is possible for the
human judgment to foresee.
Neither political partisanship nor sec
tional jealousies should be permitted at
the coming session to prevent fair ap-
portionment of the representation in the
state legislature.

TAms STRIKES ONE KEYNOTE.

There is no occasion for the voters of
Minnesota to spend sleepless nights now.
for the issues of the state campaign, at
least are fully disposed of. Mr.. Bixby
has spoken. The silent Tams, whose
swarthy physiognoIny never hefcre OPEN
ed to impart a syllable of its we'll stored
wisdom to the eager seeker after in
formation, has been forced by the ext
gencies of the present campaign, to get
out on the musings, like other campaign
hustlers, whose reward is, will be, or
has been, reared in the Offices at the dis
posal of the machine.
Mr.. Bixby's speech was not a sensa-
tional one. He did not strike the sensa
tional attitudes Of a Burchard; nor rise
to the eminence of a Blaine or a Conk-
ling. But he did, in the midst of his ut
terance, give to the voters of Minnesota
one thought that is worthy eff being pre-
served in the political archives of great
commonwealth
"a man. said Mr.. Rilby, cor party,
is known by it's past"
Ringing clear and true, as the hammer
on the anvi1. Mr.. Bixby strikes the heart
of the question. Unconsciously, it would
seem, he strikes the essential reason for
the turning down by the voters of Min
nesota OF Mr.. Bixby and his protege, w.
H. Eustis, two years ago.
In his next breath he exclaimed: ST
do not claim that Gov Lind has been
dishonest or personally unfaithful
Is there perfidy in the grand old PARTY?
Does Tams still think of the Wirona
raftsman as he did two years ago? It
may be-
Why else should the astute genius of
Republieanism in Minnesota crowd this
administration, almost on the heels, as it
were, of his epitome of human judgment?

all the people of the state. Among the
most important is the work done by the
board of equalization under Gov. Lind,s
personal direction in revising the tax as
sessments of the state In the matter Of
tax assessment there has always been a
the counties Of Hennepin and Ramsey
minneapolis and ST. ?auD was assessed
far above its real value. 1t was assessed
on the boom prices paid for real estate
ten or twelve years ago, and the man
who owned a small home for his family,
and, as well. the proprietor of valuable
business blocks, bitterly realized that they
were being taxed far above the value
of their property. At the same time the
Twin City Street Railway company was
paying interest on only a triaing share
of their millions of property, and other
great corporations had been evading tax
alton for years. yet no governor had
ever had the courage and honesty to at
tempt any reform in this matter no gov
erncr of the state had ever had the in
terest of the people sufficiently at heart
to attempt to give them relief.
One of the first things Gcv Lind did,
was to make such corporations bear their
honest share of taxation Among others,
the tax assessment of the Twin City
Street Railroad company was raised from
less than $1,00O000 to over 100000 the
banks were raised about 81, 900 900; the big
lumber companies were raised about $780,
900, aud the iron mines N the northwest
part of the state were raised about 81 600, :.
Ooo BY making these corporations pay
their honest share. the people at large
will be called on for so much less. At
the same time the assessment on the real
estate of Hennepin and Ramsey counties
was cut down 10 per cent. This means a
great saving to the owners of real estate
in Minneapolis and ST. Paul It was no
more than fair, it was no more than just
and it should have been done years ago.
yet no governor had ever had the cour-
age to even attempt it.
This matter Of taxation is perhaps the
most important one in the government
of the state, and while Gov. Lind has &C.
complished much, the work is far from
being competed, and it is certainly a.
subject of great interest for every tax
payer in the state to have this matter OF
taxation reform continued. We are con-
stantly being told that politics is mat
ter of business" that a man is a fool
to vote against his business interests. If
this principle is sound, and it certainly
is true in state politics. no man can afford
to vote against honest John Lind.

but until the human mind is endowed
with omniscienee no one can reasonably
exact or expect a guarantee from officers
of the law that no premeditated mischief
will be committed by individuals. But the
theory is different as applied to nobs.
The general danger of a mob can be un-
derstood at once, and the menace can be
proceeded against summary. The officers
do net pretend to know in advance what
specific damage mob will do, BUT they
that it will do some damage if not re-
strained or dispersed. Indeed, it is the
duty of law officers to take prompt action
against a mob, and if this duty is neglect
bility of the municipality for damage re-
sulting.
Had this Chicago test case taken differ
ent turn some new and interesting legal
problems would have been presented. Sup
pose the property involved had actually
been destroyed by a mob, it could have
been shown, not only that the city of
Chicago exhausted every power to sup
press the violence, but that during part
of the time covered by the destruction of
property the federal authority had con-
troll, and martial law prevailed. But SO
far as Chicago is concerned there is no
need of specializing on probabilities or
possibilities. The city is safe from dam
age suits growing out of those treublous
days, and is doubtless content to confine
itself to Thanksgiving and to hoping with
the rest of us that there will never be
occasion in the future for more extended
inquiry into the legal phases of the SUBJ

argument will not be as to whether Nc
