Hcan papers In the rural districts of the
state. 1t is brief, but involves a long
story. 1t is story that contains
very serious moral, too, for not only
is the little "squib" to be found in the
columns of one country paper, but it is
buried deeply in the heart and mind of
many voters, Republican and Democrat,
throughout the state of Minnesota 1t
is probably terse way of expressing the
motto that viii influence the great ma
jolity of men who go TO the polls in the
fail of 1902 to vote once more for gov
ernor.
THE Republican party will have u
number of sins to answer for when it

is quite aptIy described in this extract
also from the Anoka Union. This is the
testimony of a veteran Republican, whose
party fealty cannot be questioned.
Sam Langum is another one of these
Republican editors who is pointing out
some of the errors Of the party And
Sam is also a politician. This makes it
bad for him. He is said TO want mis-
party's nomination next year for secre-
tary of state, but his Independent atti-
tude at this time, regarding the present
administration, viii count against him
at the convention.
Aside from this obstacle there seems
to be another one to Mr.. Langums be-
coming the nominee. Sam C. Iverson.
who halls from the same congressional
district as Langum, is probably safely
booked for the nominee for state auditor.
and it will hardly be possible for the
same district to have two men on the
state ticket. Iverson's opponents will be
HaIdin, of Duluth, and Jacobson, of Lac
qui Parle. The former will make
vigorous campaign, and may land the
goal, but the man from Lac qui Parle
will fan out in very short order.

TALKS WITH THE TRAVELLERS

tain friend of his from Buffalo was also
stopping there.
A large number of legislators was IN
the city yesterday. Among them senators
II. j. Miller, Thompson, Knatvold, Sven
ington and Representatives Burns,
Schwarg, Cookbook and Larson. They
were all here on private business
Senator Miller appeared before the tax
commission during the day with some
suggestions as to revision of the tax laws
Of the state. He is one who strongly
favors doing away with the practice Of
eXempting members of a family from a
certain amount OF taxation The law now
provides that a member of each family
may be exempt to the extent Of 500, and
this has been the source of a great deal
of vexatfon in that 1t makes a way for
the escape OF certain taxable property
He thinks that this feature Of the law
should be entirely abolished. Senator NJ l.
Ter is also very heartily In favor Of adopt
ing system that will give each county
in the state county assessor. He cited
many advantages of the assessor system.
Senator Thompson Of Preston, stated
his opinion on the extra session of leg
islature next February. He says it
simply depends upon what progress is
made by the tax commission whether
there Will be such a session at that time
He believes that unless the tax commits
sion has report that will warrant the
Legislature sitting for ten days no extra
session will be called The natural in
ference from Senator Thompson's state
ments was that the demand for this extra
session does not appear to be nearly so
pressing now as when it was being made
an issue on the floor of the house and
senate.
Senator Thompson agrees with what
the G l o has said regarding the re-
nomination of Gov Van SAINT. He stated
Internationally that, in his opinion the
governor would be renOminated

It may not be all safe to prophesy

apparently hopeless condition; but it is
quite safe to declare that. notwithstand-

POLITICS OF THE STATE.

Even at this premature stage the
forces of the Republican party In Min
nesota are at work. This, perhaps, is
not ill-advised, for before them lies
vast amount of hard work which must
be done before the next election. and a
year and half is not too long to de-
vote to the task Having settled upon
the decree of the St Paul bosses that
Gov. Van SAINT must be Tenominated, the
mission which now confronts the forces
Is that of harmonizfng all factions 1t is.
OF course. a notable fact that many of
the leading country editors have their
hatehets oat for the governor. and these
fellows must be talked to-
Various methods of oiling the troubled
waters have already been undertaken.
but perhaps the newest and most strik-
1ng1y unique one is that Gov Van
SAINT has cut loose from the gang This
was circulated over the state during the
past week, through the medium of the
country press. The Taylor's Falls Jour
nal and other papers assert that it is
stated" that the governor has turned
his back upon his old confederates.
There is, of course, great deal of
disaffection among the Republicans who
do not care to be allied with the gang
over the governors Identification with
that element of the Republican party.
and it would be a fine piece of work if
these men could be made to believe that
''the governor has cut loose" from the
men who sway an imperial scepter in
Republican politics of Minnesota, but
there is little question that they can be
deceived or, forsooth that anybody else
can be thus misIed
Gov. Van SAINT is not in a position to
"cut loose from the gang If he wanted
to, he could not do it without sustaining
fatal results to his next candidacy for
the nomination, and he is perhaps better
aware of the fact than anybody else.
ut would have been a good thing for
Minnesota if Samuel r. Van SAINT had
simply remained just plain captain

New Waterproof Clothing.

A study of much Importance at this
moment is that recently taken up by
Dr. a. Berthier, who has applied him
self to the discovery of a material for
the clothing of soldiers that will repel
water and yet admit air for ventilation.
DIR. Berthier found the clew to such
material in the dress of Arabs, who
used wool which still contains the ami
NAL grease Experiments were made
with lanoline, product of the purifi-
cation of this animal grease, deprived
of soap and acid fat and made neutral.
The results were favorable, and the
impermeable effect was secured by a
mixture Of ten to twenty grams Of Ian
oline to 1000 grams of spirits Of petro-
leum as a dissolvent. This spread Itself
rapidly in the tissue and evaporated
quickly. The material can be dipped
in the mixture for a few moments and
then wrung out, or the solution can be
applied to the surface with a sponge.
The last is the most economical, but the
first gives the best results. A solution
of alum and acetate of lead has also
been tried with some success. The ma
terial thus treated is healthy, the tissue
is not clogged, the weight is not in
creased and the color and texture are
unimpaired.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
