DEsIsT. MIR. JACOBSON.

To the irrepressibIe Mr.. jacobson do
the people of Minnesota owe The fact
that The opening of the present session of
the legislature is not distinguished by a
most unoompromising show of economy
in legislative expenses Had the cause
which is ordinarily a good one, had a
less beNicose champion no doubt it would
have been successful, and we would all
be treated to the usual treat Of observ-
ing how rigidly our state representatives
guard the expenditure of the public
funds
Mr.. Jacobson should be reasonable, if
such course of conduct is not con-
genitably impossible to him. His rest
less activity and unshorn eloquence on
behalf of retrenchment Will prevent his
party associates from pursuing a time
honored course in legislative proceedings
1t would have been better, if only for ap-
pearance sake, for instance, had the
grand army of cloak-room patriots been
held in check at least for a few Javs

rections after a given course of action
has lost its novelty. At least one recess

of course in its own good time; but at
least appearances would be saved, and
the taxpayer would rest more easily in
the usual comfortable delusion that his
representatives were determined to les
sen the burdens of his life
If MIR. Jacobson is not little careful

he has already. He will have members

retainers to positions as yet unheard Of
and their fellow members conceding Their
demands on the laudable ground. if no

A great many anti-eXpansion!sts are
hoping that the supreme court will de-
eide in favor OF the constitution following
the flag, because they think that the
resulting complications would make it
necessary for the United States to with
draw from the Philippines. But, even if
the constitution really does follow the
flag, the Philippines are part of the
United States, and are bound to remain
so for all time to come, as there is no
way Of letting go Of territory under the
constitution The anti-expansionists
had, therefore, better pray for an ad-
adverse decision.

The late Phil Armour was ASKED by
friend, How much are you worth?'
His reply was, ASK my wife. The
bounties and kindly acts of Mr.. Armour
We're countless. He took delight in pleas
ant and appropriate surpriseS-for his
employees He was well known for pune
tual hours at his office. One man, who
lived at the west side of the Chicago
river, was frequently delayed by the
bridge being turned. One day he found
a deed on his desk for fine house and
lot on the South side, and a note, saying
There are no bridges now between your
house and the Office" He asked his ST.
Paul representative one day how many
children he had. The reply was two
and reaching into his desk their photo
graphs were produced. Mr.. Armour said,
"Tll keep these, and a few days later
a cheek came for $500, with a note say
ing: Here is nest egg to begin saw

During the present session of the legis-
lature efforts will be made to extend the
primary election law to all parts of the
state. 1t now applies to only certain
localities, and while not working to the
perfect satisfaction of everybody has
worked much better than the old primary
election law The present law governing
cdUcuses and conventions is a failure.
The cogs don't mesh at all. 1t is easier
to pack a caucus now than when we had
no law at all governing eaucuses and
conventions. Caucus packing is about

Already, before any appointments have
peen announced by Gov. Van SAINT, the
Republican papers are talking or sore
spots that viii be hard to heal" The
governor has stated that the number of
applications received to date number in
the vicinity of 1900. That seems in
credible, but it was so stated in an even
ing paper. If that is true, then Kandl-
yohi's pro rata share would be about 1870
strange, isn't it to find so many self-sac-
rillcing patriots among the Republicans.
Times are always SO good during Re

is no money in holding office. 1t is sad

make more money than they would If
their proposals had been accepted.

wOmen's Right to Propose.

Aitkin Age.
We admire the spunk of those young
ladies of Duluth, Mimi, who declare
that they believe a woman has as good
a right to propose marriage as a man.
and have pledged themselves to exercise
that right by each proposing to some
man before the close of the present year
There is no good reason why woman
should be compelled to await mans will
in the matter of matrimony, and per-
haps for lack Of courage on his part,
when the right one does not happen
along, be forced to live and die an cd
maid. These young ladies also declare
their determination to dispense with
corsets and other frivolous modes of
dress This is also truly laudable, but
we would suggest that they defer that
reformation until after they have pre-
posed to the men Of their choice, alse
they are liable to be unsuccessful in their
suit.
