MINNIE'S THINKS,

<<<><<<<<<-<<<<
ST. PAUL. Mimi. July %, 1903.
The national Forestry convention
meets in Minneapolis Aug 25.
4 ::!-
Gov. Van SAINT has been notified that
the Commercial Telegraphers Union of
America will hold its 1904 convention
in St. Paul.
The board of control has moved into
the House of Representative at the
State capitol. Twill be more convent
ent for Bob Jamison and Jim Martin
and the administration push generally.
= :.
The dairy and food convention was
glorious success. It gave three vail
ant whoops for pure whisky and lots
of it.
= = !.
Some honest farmer-folk want ex-
perts in the dairy department. Natur-
ally some of the present inspectors are
opposed to the idea.
= = :.
J. B. Kelly Of Dakota county is being
mentioned already as very likely can
didate for speaker of the next house.
!. !. =
Examiner Sam Johnson no longer
manifests the deep concern in State
politics which he did last winter. He
knows his goose is cooked and he is
right.
Friends of Judge Collins here declare
that the mention of his name in con-
nection with the governorship is en-
tirely without his approval. This was
generally understood at the time Mr..
Fullerton and others started the boom
for the judge.
Julius Schmall says Redwood county
will have the banner crops in the State
this year.
| Here's hoping that Auditor Iverson
will not be afraid of Tom Lowry when
the State board of equalization meets.
!. i. !.
A Little Falls man wants the auditor
to give him a bounty because he has
had seven sons in q row. But the
State cannot very we'll encourage this
infant industry.
The blue book for 1908 is out at last
and can be secured from the Secretary
of State. 1t is a splendid volume of
reference and contains wealth of in
formation concerning State matters.
!. i. &
Flat rents in St. Paul are to be raised
again Sept. 1st, ''because of the high
price of coal last winter" Any excuse
is bad enough. Wonder the owners
didn't allege the crime of '73 as the
real reason.
Every citizen in Minnesota regrets
even the rumor that the State board of
control is dabbling in politics.
:: = 4
Judge Jamison to-day refused to DENY
the rumor that he might be candidate
for governor. The people will effect
ually deny it for him.
:.
It is said that Prof Tucker will be
reinstated as principal of the agricul-
tural college. 1t is to be hoped so.
The regents can hardly afford to Grip
pie the schools usefulness by starting
bitter controversy.
:: & ::
The State capitol commission has in
instituted condemnation proceeding to
secure all the land in front of the new
State capital needed for proper boule-
varding.
The St. Paul carnival is now on-the
biggest fake of it's kind ever pulled off.
+ & !.
The State has won the famous Bluff
ton case and the Northern Pacific must
put depot back at Bluffton and stop
it's trains there. The supreme court
says a railroad is supposed to serve the
public, not it's own convenience.
4. + !.
How ridiculous some of the tax alb
stracts are. According to the return
of the auditors there is not a cent of
money in the cities of Rochester or
Granite Falls. This same thing will
no doubt be found in reports from other
counties.
MINNIE.
