Remarks


IL the efforts of Mrs. Marie Greer Mac
donald, the Chicago musician, are as
successful as a composer as her achieve
ments are as an Amazon, she should soon
attain to giddy heights of fame. Her
record shows that she attacked her hus-
band with her fists, horsewhipped Mrs.
Anna Reimbold, and chased the mother
superior and another nun out of the coun-
ty building, all within a few hours.
If Mishistorian Maclay succeeds in de-
flying the presidents order to resign, and
owing to civil service rules is able to hold
his place, most of us will see his victory
with much the same feelings we watch
the wrong fellow scientifically whip the
right man.
And talking about these things, Miles,
too, is going to ask for an investigation
because of the letters written him by
Long. Evidently Miles is a. firm believer
in the adage, the pen is mightier than
the sword
1t is real touching to see the wild-eyed
anxiety displayed by some of the G. o.
+. newspapers to select a Democratic
presidential candidate After naming
several impossibiIities they then gravely
numerous reconcile and logical reasons
why each one cannot be elected. If we
only give them time, by a process of
elimination, they must finally arrive at
some promising probability in the way
Of a candidate.

Democrat has declared war again. He
says: sThe United States will, if it deems
proper, prevent Germany from occupy
ing that Venezuelan port because it does
not wish her to do SO. Or it will, if it
deems proper, allow Germany to occupy
that Venezuelan port, because it doesn't
mind that occupation" Won't that make
the kaisers teeth rattle when he reads
it?
The New York states prison convicts
are not to have their heads shaved any
more. If this becomes general, how in
the name of wondor, are we to tell those
who are really convicts from those who
merely ought to be?
The Faribault Post makes a popular
suggestion when it says: while Gov.
Van SAINT is trying to prevent railroad
combines, he should use his official jimmy
and pry open his burglar proof board
of control combine so that the public
can see the internal mechanism of this
latest Minnesota invention" A good
many people are laboring under the idea
that they would like to know how the
board is expending the public funds. An
idea which the board of control, for rea-
sons best known to itself, discourages
most vigorously.
p Investigations big, little, high and low,
are threatening to become the bane of
| our lives. Just now Brainerd, Mimi

wish to avoid investigation should be
more careful how they use geological

A Los Angeles man who was arrested
