Gov. Beckham has obtained 2

that he 5 eligible for another term
as Governor Among these are
Judge w, S. Pryor and Capt. w.
T. Ellis, lawyers of recognized
standing and ability. But with all
due respect to the learning Of these
distinguished gentlemen, it must be
borne in mind that the legal opinion
advanced by them in the election
contest in 1899, was oyer-ruled and
held to be faulty by the almost
unanimous verdict Of a Democratic
legislature, who decided that
Goebel and not Taylor should have
been declared elected. If their
position had been endorsed by
Goebel, Heudrick, Scott, Kohn
Phelps and other lawyers who
fought the battle through all the
courts, there would have been no

II is a well-known fact that legal
opinions can be obtained to bolster

a case. These opinions can be Sc
cured from men of the highest repu-
tation,on either side of any case. II
is the business Of lawyers to write
opinions and make speeches on
legal propositions. And every time
two lawye meet on opposite sides

BLusHlNe AMERICAN GIRLS.

A learned gentleman named Eulen-
burg with an M. D. attached to his
name, who halls from Vienna, has
made the discovery that blushing is
more common among American girls
than those of Europe, and asserts
with positiveness. and individual ex-
amples that it results from disordered
nerves.
Aesculapius Eulenburg also makes a
lot of other intellectual thrusts which
have the earmarks of wisdom. He says
even American girls blush less in sum-
mer than in winter and that summer
is the best time to be treated for the
annoying disease. Probably the doc
tor also intended to say that he had a
great remedy for the malady, so to
speak, and that Vienna was the best
place to be treated. He throws out
broad hint, too, that the young wom-
en- should come over to see him alone,
as he says strong men do not blush
except under extraordinary circum-
stances" and clinches his argument
with the assertion that ''blushing men
are seldom cured, for they are often
sufferers from heart disease"
That this DR.. Eulenburg is an I'M
usually close observer of women is
conclusively shown in the statement.

ty, has been driven to wholly forswear

Could anything be more horrible! But
DR.. Eulenburg neglected to give the
Newport heiress' name and it is dol
lars to marbles that he cannot do it,
The Vienna physician also knows
things about actresses. He is frank
enough to say dat one of these con-
suited him about the distressing habit
she had of blu~hing whenever anything
went wrong behind the scenes. He
does not even hint that she blushed
when things went wrong just back of
the footlights, but he does say she had
ruined her complexion by the use of
white grease paint applied to cover her
bushes.
DR.. Eulenburg is convinced that
these troubles, all and singular, come
from the nerves and that American
girls blush in season and out because
they have a superabundance of sensi-
tiveness stored up, causing the blood
to rise to the cheeks and arms
This may all be extremely sad in
Vienna, but in most American circles
it will excite nothing but mirth. Peo-

LIND FOR CONGRESS.

The strong probability that Gov.
Lind would yield to the insistence of
his friends and his party and become
the Democratic candidate for congress
in his district has now ripened into
certainty.
The event must involve, of course,
great sacrifice of private interests and
personal inclination on the part of Mr..
Lind. Such men as he are always liza
BILE to be forced into the public serv-
ice. Just as in the case Of his possible
nomination for governor, his candi-
dacy for congress is occasioning the
Republican press and politicians great
concern. They recognize, in common
with the general public, the extremely
favorable prospect of success in any
such candidacy undertaken by him.
There are few such men in public life
today, and, naturally, intelligent elect
ors make the most of the opportunity
to secure their services.
Gov. Lind, in determining his course,
has evidently not continued to ignore
the truth that q critical stage has been
reached in the opposition to the poll
cies of the present administration, and
that the presence in congress of men
Of his recognized great ability, wide
experience and undoubted influence
will be a. determining factor in the ul
innate outcome of the war against i'm
perialism and the trusts. If Gov Lind
ChnI1ld hn nlnntp6 n hQ will
at once take his place as a recognized
leader of the minority Of national
standing and fame. No man on either
side can be regarded as his superior
in intimate knowledge of the operation
of congressional machinery or in point
Of character or ability. His former
experience as a Republican member of
prominence and influence will il itself
operate as in the nature Of a popular
protest against the leading policies Of
the Republican party.
The city of Minneapolis is not likely
to lose sight of the great advantage
which will inure to it's people by being
represented on the floor of the house
Of representatives by a man of John
Linds ability and high standing. AS
between him and the present repre-
sentative from that district little COM
parison can of course be made. Mr..
Fletcher doubtless fulfills all the minor
requirements of such representative
position, but in the person of Gov.
Lind the people of Hennepin county,
should they select him as their repre-
sentative, will have a spokesman whose
voice will carry tenfold more weight,
and whose influence upon the currents
of legislation will be unsurpassed by
that of any man in that body. For the
good of the national service, as we'll
as of the party, The Globe feels
called upon to express the gratitude
of the Democrats of the state that Mr..
Lind has consented to be a candidate,
and feels entirely safe in the assur-
ance that his election is beyond dis
pute.

TO BE REGRETTED.

Those who recall the admirable ad-
ministration of it's affairs which Mr.
James Gray gave to the city of Mime
apolis, as its mayor, will regret deeply
the announcement of his ability to
become candidate in the forthcom-
ing city election.
Without having shown any desire
Whatever to cultivate public popular
ity, and without having taken airy more
active part in political affairs than is
incumbent on every good citizen, Mr.
Gray commended himself to the people
of Minneapolis as desirable man to
act as their chief magistrate. They
chose him accordingly, and the result
demonstrated the correctness of the
estimate which they had placed upon
his worth. There were no scandals and
no suspicion of wrong doing attaching
to Mayor Gray's administration. 1t
was capable and economical. The city
prospered under it, and the right of
all the people to protection in all their
interests was rigidly maintained.
dwell upon the shocking results which
have followed to that city through the
election of the existing administration
as a substitute for that of Mayor Gray.
1t was the peoples will, and no class
of citizens perhaps in the entire COM
munity today regret the event any
more keenly than those who exercised
their right of suffrage to secure Mayor
Ames' election.
TIL lie Globe is fully assured that
the choice made by the Democrats of
Minneapolis of a nominee for the may
orally will be the best possible under
the circumstances. It's references to
Mayor Gray are not intended to lessen,
relatively or otherwise, the availability
of any of the gentlemen now named
for the Democratic nomination. They
are all men of standing and influence,
and the choice of any one of them will
no doubt be ratified by a great ma
jority of the electors as mayor of Min
neapolis.

REV. RAsMUs' HOME THRusTs.

"The church was never intended to
be millinery establishment" Shrek
ed the Rev. H. l. Rasmus, presumably
on parade, at Chicago camp meeting
the other afternoon. Pleased with the
sensation he had created among his
hearers, he proceeded with a sort of
"ghoulish glee" to throw them a few
more thoughts epigrammatic hot from
the gridiron. He said with undated
vehemence: There would be more
faith if there were less feathers and
fuss. Perfumery belongs to the same
category as millinery, and it's odor
should never be detected in a house
of worship"
All of these assertions are true, but
none of them are new. They are.
however, forcibly put, and the Rev.
Mr.. -,asmus is entitled to much credit
for firing them at a guilty audience
and one, too, which no doubt has it in
it's power to place his salary in jeop-
ardy.
At the same time it is much easier
to find fault with things as they exist
than to suggest remedies. Women
like fine hats and those of Chicago Just
now have plenty of cash with which
to purchase millinery dreams" These
they will continue to wear in the street
and since every woman wears her best
clothes on Sunday, what is more nat
ural than that she would wear them
to church from hat to boots?
OF course the use of perfumery is
vulgar and should be frowned upon al
together. Girls should be taught by
their mothers not to make use of it at
all. 1t is disagreeable to a great many
people, and what gives offense to even
one of those around any person should
be carefully avoided. Perfumery is
ouc of place in any sanctuary or au-
ditorium in which large numbers of
people are obliged to sit in close prox-
unity for any number Of hours at a
time. A public sentiment so strong as
to lead to it's disuse would be a bless
ing to any community.

GOOD ROADS IN SIGHT,.

The gathering which took place at
TIE state fair grounds within the past
day Of two of business and profess
sional men from all parts of the state
interested in the good roads movement
augurs we'll for the future of that
movement in this section of the coun-
try No better way could have been
hit upon than that chosen for the pro-
motion of the movement among us.
Public and private agencies unite in
making the movement effective. The
state, the nation, the great carrying in
terests Of the Northwest and public
spirited citizens all contribute their
share to the work. The action of the
Great Northern railway in placing a
good roads train at the disposal of
those actively engaged in the move
ment will, of course, prove to be a
prime factor in it's success Without
the aid represented by that contribu-
ton it may be said that very little in
deed could be expected to result.
This is one of the greatest educa-
tional movements of our time. It's
scope is broad and it's greatest effect
iveness ought to be felt in the agricul-
tural communities. The present plan
of road maintenance is worthless. I'm
der it no progress whatever can be
made. The construction of a safe and
passable road under it is an impossi-
sbility. The plan of having men work
on hn 10 t.,
mere unenlightened makeshift. 1t dis
owns all public responsibility and in
wolves no substantial provision for fu-
ture betterment.
The experiments that will be car
ried on in connection with the state
fair will give the amplest opportunity
to the local officials whose duties per-
tain to the maintenance of the public
highways to learn what a good road
really is and how it can be made at
the least available cost. Tie plan Of
inviting the supervisors of every town
in the state to take part in the good
roads convention and to make them
selves familiar with the work in prac-
teal operation will result, T h Glob e
believes, in striking a fatal blow at
the present medieval method of road
construction. The instruction which
will result from the convention, as well
as from the road-making demonstra-
uons in the vicinity of the fair grounds
and afterwards throughout the state,
through the agency of the good roads
train, will remove all excuse for main
tanning the present conditions.
If all this should be afterwards sup
plemented by intelligent legislation,
making it, so far as possible, compul-
sorry upon the several political subdi-
visions to engage in the construction OF

And envy shall not steal away
The sweetness from his breast!

His soul may haply learn to pray
With nature for his guide!
The night shall wrap him as a child
Is wrapped of mother-love;
And soothe his soul the while beguiled

The day shall teach him what is writ
In meadow or on mere.

Soft through all the year!

His spirit breathes and livesi

ONE AuRURN-HAIRED GIRL

1t seems pertinent to inquire wheth-
er or not Judge Murray F. Tuley, re-
garded far beyond the borders Of Chi
cago as one of the wisest and most just
men on the bench, has not nearly
reached the limit of his usefulness on
the Woolsack. For some seasons a
young woman, Grace e. Murdoch by
name, has displayed herself in span
giles, stockings and a few other clothes
to Chicago audiences as "The Girl With
the Auburn Hair" She has done this
SO long that she has come to feel
that she has proprietary right to the
title. A few days ago the Knights of
Pythias of South Chicago began CIV
ing what they called a "Buckskin Bill
Wild West Show" and advertised ''The
greatest sensation in the whole uni
verse, the girl with the auburn hair"
This particular youngt person was not
Grace E. Murdoch, but young woman
who dives into pool of water from a
ladder 100 feet high. She has the good
or bad fortune, just as one looks at it,
to have auburn hair
When Grace E. Murdoch saw this adj
vertisement she grew angry and her
choler finally reached a state Of fury
Which drove her to insomnia and later
to an attorney, into whose willing ears
she poured her tale of woe. By easy
stages the matter worked it's way into
the courts and Judge Tuley was as
signed to deliberate on the question of
whether or not an injunction should
be granted. To the surprise of most
of those present the learned jurist
handled the case with fippancy and
as he snlilingIy said, LET the injunc-
ton ISSUE" added, "It isn't every girl
who can boast of having auburn hair
The decision is little short of astound-
ing. Admittedly the girl who jeopar-
dies her life by plunging headlong 100
feet into a pool has hair just as auburn
as that of Miss Murdoch and isn't any
more to blame for the fact. Why should
Judge Tqley or anybody else, on the
bench or off, estop this ambitious
young person from properly labelling
her hair to the public which pays to
see her performances?
1t appears to be up to the auburn
haired young women of Chicago to
hold an Indignation meeting, denounce
Judge Tuley and demand of the legis-
lature that it Gef1ne their rights.
