became lieutenant colonel of the first

attracted much attention to himself in
the campaign resulting in the surrender
of the Spanish land forces at Santiago.

price. The manipulation of the forceps
said he could pump enough soothing wind

thought the rate rather elevated, and

The underlying principle of the associ-

the fact that the people of the Southern
states are earnestly engaged in the pro-
motion of public education, and that in
this effort they should receive generous
aid; and to this end, and in pursuance
of the following named and kindr d OBJ
Jects, the association will seek gifts,

house by Senator Horton. 1t reached the
house late yesterday afternoon and Rep
resentative Rich tried to call it up for
immediate action. Unfortunately for the
prospects of the BILL Rich inadvertently
mentioned that the bill was introduced at
the request of the governor. Rich tried
to further explain that the bill was laying
in the archives of the committee on
rules. That portion of his remarks was
lost to the house. When he stated that
the bill had the sanction of the governor
a derisive boot went up and the house
refused to give his motion even the con-
Slderatlon of a vote.
The reputation Of Van SAINT by his own
party and the vindication of Anderson
and Auditor Dunn, who have been the
targets of the administration shafts shot
through Jacobson, was completed yesteF-
day with the signal victory won by An
derson for both his tax bills. The revolu-
ton was complete and when the house
adjourned last night Dunn and Ander-
son were the crowned leaders of the
party and the Van Sant-Jacobson COM
b1nat1on was a sadly battered campaign
weapon. The most CALLING feature Of
the defeat handed the administration is
that Anderson and Dunn both offered
their services and advice before the SEES
sion was called and DOth We're promptly
turned down in favor of the tax COM
mission and Jacobson. Then the legis-
lature which Van SAINT summoned to do
his bidding after spending thirty days
at the funeral of his schemes for fence
building enacted the plans of Anderson,
which have the sanction and indorse-
ment of Dunn, in five days and in that
same time wipe out the constitutional
amendments proposed by the Van SAINT
creation and again adopt the views of
Anderson and Dunn.
It's safe bet that no governor of Min
nesota will call another session ex-
traordinary Of the legislature for at least
six months. They are joy forever, but
Van SAINTS experience proves that they
come high. But maybe it's worth $780,
O00 to the state to find out how valuable
its chief executive really is
Van SAINT should not entirely despair.
Two of his measures went through. The
legislature gave him $4,000 to strangle

to make more Friends" by his aTI-see-
ing wisdom in the selection of appointees.
