TURKISH SCHOOLS.
Tricks Boys Play Upon the HOdja---Their
Queer Lessons.

The beginning of Mohammedan
boys school life is always made an oc-
casion for festival. 1t occurs on his
seventh birthday. The entire school
goes to the new scholars home, lead
ing richly caparisoned and flower
bedecked donkey. The new pupil is
placed on this little beast, and, with
the hodja, or teacher, leading the
children form a double file and escort
him to the school house, singing Joy
GUS songs. To stranger the COM
mon Turkish school presents singular
scene. The pupils are seated cross
legged on the bare marble pa wont
in the porch of the mosque, form
ing a semicircle about the hodja, who
is, as rule, an old fat man. He holds
in his hand a stick long enough to
reach every student, says the Boston
Herald. By means of this rod he is
enabled not only to preserve order
among the mischievous, but to urge
on the boy whose recitation is not sat
isfactory. But as rule, hodjas are
lazy and often fall asleep Then it is
that the pnpils enjoy what the Ameri-
can boy would style ''picnic. A
trick they especially like to play on
their sleeping teacher is to anoint his
hair and long gray beard with wax,
which is, of course very difficult TO
get rid Of You may be sure that when
the hodja wakes he makes good use of
his lengthy weapon. Some of the
answers these little Turks eceive to
their questions would make an Ameri-
can child open his eyes in amazement.
A half-grown boy, in the presence of
a missionary, who tells the story,
asked the hodja "What makes it
rain?" up in the Clouds, answered
this wise teacher, "our prophet Mo

TOWNE HAS COPIES. -

Towne and Olney, and Hill and
Towne, are the combinations that
are being made for the Democrcy in
Washington. In the east Of course the
combination with Hill as first is the
most popular. At dinner by Con-
gresham Newlands of Nevada, in honor
of Towne, long telegram was read
from Hill, commencing the anti-im-
perialist tinge of Towne's speech. But
1904 is some time ahead, and while
Hill is ambitious and will do every
thing he can to secure the nomination,
it is doubtful whether he cares to have
such use made of his name as some
Of the Washington politicians are do
ing. Politically, Hill is perfectly I'M
scrupulous, and while denouncing sill
yer and some of the vagaries of the
Chicago platform as he has, he would
go to almost any length in order to get
the Bryanistic-Populist support to
further his ambition. But Towne is
ambitious also, and he may object to
taking second place on the ticket, and
desire the first place. And if he is de-
signated as Bryan's heir to leader
ship, he may develop strong rival to
Hill for the first place. Just now
Towne is much in favor with the
Bryan Democracy leaders

without any water except from the
rains, which were unusually excessive
The land was now, and the rice was
sowed as oats, without any further
cultivation. Another instance he men
toned. A young man moved to that
section last fall to grow rice. He had
some good teams, but little money.
One man offered to sell him land at
Sc. % per acre, but told him he would
sell him a quarter section and put him
down well If he would break and
plant 100 acres and give him one-half
of the rice, he would deed him the
quarter section, and if he did not make
enough to pay for the well he would
wait another year. The crop was
grown, and when divided and sold the
land brought 500. 90 per acre, and the
we'll was paid for from the other half.
Mr.. P. j. Willis remarked that this
section was just on the eve of develop
ment, that rice growing was the one
thing now to discuss as the future
crop of the coast. and home capital in
abundance was ready to invest as soon
as the water supply was developed.

TRAVELS OF A SHOE.

There arrived at the American Elk
press Office Sunday baby's old, cast
off shoe that started from Seattle,
Wash, Jan. 18th, over the Great
Northern Express, and is going nobody
knows where. 1t has twenty-four tags
attached to it, and the agents in some
cases have been inspired by the shoe
to write poetry across the tags. One
of these verses is as follows:
Blessings on the little tot
Who wore this bunny shoe;
May the star of fate bring it better
things
Than it has to me and you.
May its life be happy and useful,
And when it leaves this earth, as it
will,
The best wish we all can give it is,
That it never meets Jim Hill.
Another one says:
This little shoe must have a pull
With some high muckey muck,
Or either it has what we call
A good deal of horseback.
1t has pass on every road
In every grand old nation.
Oh wouldn't like to be the shoe
When take my vacation.

MAKE 1T A SALARY.

The bill before the legislature pro-
posing to put the state oil inspector on
a salary, instead Of fee, basis, should
receive the support of every Republi-
can member. There is no division of
sentiment among the people of the
country on this question, and certain
it is that there can be no good or
sufficient cause for refusal on the part
of the members of the legislature to
put this Office on business basis.
In the first place the state oil in
spector's Office is little short of sien-
cure The duties are not arduous or
onorous. Only clerical work is re-
quired and that of very ordinary
kind. The work of inspection is all
done by deputies who are forced to
give large share of their fees to the
principal, who sits as sort of auto
GRAFT in his office humping up against
twelve or fifteen thousand dollars a
year. To longer continue this imposi-
ton upon the taxpayers is inexcusable,
and if the Republican majority in the
legislature fails to put stop to it,
there is liable to be something drop,
and drop hard.
The idea of paying the governor of
the state So, 600 year and the oil in
spector three times that sum is re-
pulsive. 1t is reflection on the in
telligence of past legislative bodies
that it has been permitted to continue.
Will the present body allow itself to
be duped and further continue the
outrage?
That strong st. Paul lobby will
try to defeat the Hurd proposition cam
not be questioned. 1t only remains
to be seen whether the lobby is stronger
minded than the Observation-Disclosures
corruption is more potent on this
question than the interests of the
people. 1t is up to the members of
the Minnesota state legislature to
answer.

REINFORCEMENT SCHEMES.

1t is expected that the reapportion-
ment committee appointed by the
legislature last week, will have a
meeting some time this week, pos
sibly tomorrow. Several schemes for
dividing the state in congressional dis
tricts have been proposed but how the
committee will stand on any of them
is not known. One of the proposed
divisions was given in the Minneapolis
Journal Saturday evening, which
seems to meet with as much or more
approval than any that has as yet been
proposed. The map which accom-
panied it, showed the districts to be as
compact as possible to get them, and
about equal in population with the
exception of the eighth district which
as proposed has only 1852. 1876 popula-
tion. This plan gives the second dis
trict POPULATION of 1919 $50. Another
plan which divides the state little
more equal as to population proposes
the division of Hennepin county. This
takes no account of railroad connec-
tions or ease of getting about the dis
trict. The only change it makes in the
second district from the first plan is
that it drops Pipestone county from the
second district and adds it to the
seventh. This would give the second
district population of 1S9, 9S6. In
both of these plans all of the districts
gave Republican majorities in the
elections of 1898 and 1900. Neither of
these plans disturb the present situa-
ton and leave each of the seven con-
gressmen in districts by themselves.
Another plan which is supported by
some of the ambitious statesmen of the
second district has for its purpose the
attaching of Blue Earth, Nicollet and
Waseca counties to the third district,
and throws Congressman McCleary
and Heatwole in the same district,
and will of course be opposed by the
friends of BOTH The general senti
ment through the state is opposed to
any scheme that will throw any two
of the congressman in any portion of
the state in the same district.

AN EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE.

The announcement of Senator FRYE
that the subsidy bill will be pushed in
the senate to the exclusion of all othe r
bills, appropriation matters included,
does not seem to display good political
judgment, to say nothing of business
Judgment. If the bill goes through
the senate at this session, it cannot 60
through the house, even with the most
strict party discipline that could be
brought about So nothing would
really be gained, as the same ground
would have to be fought over again in
the senate of the next congress. If put
one side the appropriation bills might
be gotten through and possibly such
other matters as need immediate at
tention. However, it looks at the best
as though an extra session of congress
could not well be avoided. Besides
the matter of civil government for the
Philippines there is also the matter of
the Cuban constitution which it is

of having approved at the earliest OPP

State Oil Inspector Schiffnan, OBJ
jects to the placing of the Office on the
salaried list and the turning of the
fees into the state treasury on the
ground that he had made an agree
ment whereby $l5, 900 of the revenue
of the Office was to go into the cam
paign fund of the Republican state
committee. This statement ought to
be the very reason why the office
should be put upon the salaried list
and at once. No Office of any kind
should be made an adjunct to the
state committee of any party. The
farming out of revenues to campaign
committee, is one of the strongest
possible reasons why a salary of a
moderate nature should be paid and
the fees turned into the state treasury.
Having been created by the will of
the people that is where they right
fully belong and not in the treasury of
the campaign committee of any party.

"The money market continues easy

Funds are plentiful, and shipments of

In it's recommendations as to the
police in relation to the new city
charter, which was published in our
news columns last evening, the Free
Press is inclined to believe the judiciary
committee of the charter commission
has done the proper thing. The posi-
ton of policeman, if properly filed,
is most responsible one, and the
salary ought to be sufficient to attract
good men thereto. The hours are long
and some of the duties most trying.
Good service is expected, and good
pay ought to be given in return. Of
course it may be urged that men not
up to the standard of what the police
force ought to be, may be appointed.
This is true. But if the appointments
are made by the mayor, he should be
held strictly accountable therefore.
There is also chance to defeat such
appointments in the council when up
for confirmation. A stronger senti-
ment for the business conduct of
municipal affairs ought to be incul-
Gated. 1t has been well brought-out in
past meetings of the commission that
less depends upon the charter framed
than upon means taken to en-
force its provisions. If first-class
men are selected for the different
departments, the city's business is apt
to be we'll looked after, even if the
city charter is not quite what most
people would prefer it to be.
