The disparagement in effect between
the title and body Of the bill under Which
the board of control was created IS EVIL
IDENTIFY causing some anxiety to the adj
ministration. BY reason of the diScrep-
ancy, by which the title states one thing
and the bill another, it will no doubt
be deemed necessary for each of the
separate boards of the state to follow
the precedent established by the board
Of managers of the state training school
at Owatonna which has adopted a reso-
luton pledging itself to recognize the
intent" of the legislature in framing
the law and not act upon a strict inter-
probation of the measure.
The matter has been reviewed a num-
FER of times and Is familiar to nearly
everybody by this time. The difficulty
with the law is simply that the title of
the bill provides that the board Of con-
troll shall exercise power both financial
and otherwise, over the correctional and
charitable institutions Of the state, AMI
says nothing at all about the educational
institutions, whereas the bill itse.f, pro-
vldes that the educational institutions
also shall come under the management
Of this board, so far as the fiscal affairs
are concerned. Naturally the question
arose as to the legality of the bill in
this defective form and citations have
been given by reliable authorities show
ing that 1t is not valid, since the title and
body Of the measure are at variance.
Other authorizes have held that only that
part relating to the educational institu-
lions can be held void. SO that at all
events it seems that the legal minds

''You tell sommerby that I'll break his

very rich vein of humor that would new

that often enables him to dispose of pc

crossed the threshold Of the executives

Judge Jamison was sitting at his desk
at the rear Of the Office and James A.

was the first victim. The visitor intro
duced himself with a lot of aattering
remarks about "Jidge Jamison, saying
he had always thought the world of the
man and If ever he wanted to run for
office himself he would have my indy

. Mr. Martin paid rather close attention
to what was being said, waiting with
