Senator Crossley's bill for primary
elections is attracting considerable at.
tention in the legislature and several
members of the committee on cleo
tons have expressed themselves as in
favor OF leaving it optional as the law
is at present. One great advantage
of the proposed law, however, is that
all political parties will be required
to hold their conventions the same
day.
The bill reported by the house com
mittee on schools for the consolida.
ton of independent school districts is
along practically the same lines as
suggestions made by State Superin-
tendent Barrett. 1t provides for the
consolidation of independent districts
in the following manner: AT the re-
quest OF ten voters residing in each of
the districts which it is proposed to
join together an election is to be call

LET Us HAVE SWIMMING BATHS

Health Commissioner Hall seems to be
in earnest in his plans for public swim
ming baths in the river 1t is about time
that Minneapolis had something of the
kind. Last year T h e ] ourn ! devoted
much time and space to agitating the
question Of suitable swimming baths as
we'll as all-the year-round stationary
baths. An effort was made to have the
board Of tax levy allow for an appropri-
alton of a suitable sum, but the pressure
Of municipal necessities made it unwise
to press the plan very hard.
DR.. Hall, too, will doubtless find himself
in trouble when he tries to raise money
for the proposed swimming baths on that
island he has discovered in the river at
Plymouth avenue bridge. 1t may be that
private means will come to his assistance
In St. Paul municipal appropriations and
public subscriptions united to raise a
very large sum for the erection of the
baths that have done so much to advertise
that city and DR.. Ohage.
It is doubtful whether any large sum
of money could be raised in Minneapolis

year in getting the baths 1t manages ready

conveniently located, but they should be

as to be Of the maximum possible good to

OTHER PEOPLES NOTIONS
Prof. Hall and Lake Traverse.

To the Editor of The Journal:
Two or three articles having lately ap-
peared in The Journal relating to the
drainage Of Lake Traverse and the inestima
bic benefit to be derived therefrom to this
portion of the state, it might be well to get
at the actual facts by some one who knows
something about it.
The people in this portion Of the state have
for years been agitating the question of build
ing dam at the head of the lake in order
| to raise the lake about Ave feet and thus con-
vert it into a permanent reservoir which
would be Of incalculable benefit in, seasons of
drought.
In the first place, Lake Traverse does not
food anything and never did. and has never
had an outlet into the Bots de Sioux but once
| in twenty five years, which was during the
big spring flood in SO. At present the lake
is two feet lower than last season, and would
have to rise nearly FIVE feet before the waters
would flow to the north The farmers are
not suffering from too much water around
Breckenridge, and the Bots de Sioux at that
point does not even deserve the name of a
decent creek, being about ten feet wide and
can be waded at nearly every point with a
pair of knee boots. AS for Professor Hall S
statement in T h urnal Of Friday,
it is the veriest rubbish, and it is evident
that the professor has not the least idea of
what he is talking about. -r
Surprising, for arguments sake, that dam
be placed at Breckenridge and the river at
that place be turned back upon itself. as
Professor Hall claims could be done. The
professor claims the river has a fall Of about
one foot to the mile. This being fact, what
would be the result? The head of the lake
being twenty-five miles from Breckenridge,
the water at that point Gin case of a food
would have to rise twenty five feet before
any of the water would flow back into Lake
Traverse, and as the country around Breck-
enridge and Wahpeton is very fiat thousands
Of acres would be f1ooded-sseveral times the
size of the present bed of Lake Traverse-ar1d
would mean ruin to the farmers in that vi
cinity
The portion of the state needing relief is
the northwestern part of the state, around
Fargo and then north to: Grafton, and Lake
Traverse has no more to do with the flood
ing Of this part of the northwest than has
Lake Mnnetonka
AS for Carson Of Oklahoma, it is evident
this gentleman has an ak to grind, and ex-
poets to get something for nothing, which
he would no doubt get If he succeeded in get
ting such a bill as proposed passed In his
favor.
The people certainly do not want the lake
drained. and would oppose s,ich an attempt
by force If necessary; nor are the farmers
| suffering from too, much water anywhere in
the vicinity Of the lake. and until they do, it
might be we'll to let we'll enough alone

"MY ANCESTORS" STATUE

1t is we'll enough for the kaiser to pre-
sent America with a statue that shall
testify to his good will. But he ought to
use better taste in choosing the subject.
1t would be very acceptable to us If the
statue were to be one of Baron Steuben,
who like Rochambeau. Pulaski, Lafayette
and other Europeans, fought for liberty
side by side with our forefathers.
1t is almost as inappropriate to propose
a statue Of Frederick the Great as it
would have been for the French to pro-
pose one of Louis XIV. r..
Yet the emperor is too much Of an
absolute monarch in heart to be willing to
give a statue of such man as Baron
Steuben, who actually fought on the side
Of republican rebels against their king.
Frederick the Great had little cheap
sympathy for us and gladly received us
into the circle Of the nations, but we
didn't approve of his wicked wars then
and we don't approve Of them now, and
we have still less patience now than then
