JOHNSON NEED NOT APPLY.
House Will Not Have Politics Mixed
With Official Investigation.

The insistence Of a large portion of
the house membership that no politics
shall be mixed with the public ac-
counts committees investigation of
state offices, does not suit s. Johnson;
of the public examiners Office, nor his
political confreres.
To insure against playing one de-
partment of the state against another
in the coming investigation which has
caused no little perturbation, Mr..
Armstrong, Hennepin, yesterday sent
up the following resolution:
Resolved, That it is the sense Of
this house that the committee of pub
lie accounts and expenditures in car
rying on it's investigation relative to
the expenditures of public money in
trusted to the custody or disburse-
ment of the public officials of the state,
under the terms of the resolution
adopted by this house on Feb. IS, do
department, or the assistants of one
public officer in investigating another
department or public Office
This plan does not at all suit the
public examiner or his boosters in the
house and notice of debate was given
by Representative Lawrence john
son, Hennepin. The resolution will be
called up today and there is little room
for doubling that it will be passed, but
probably not without struggle.
That Johnson and numerous other
holders Of state patronage fear Rob-
ert G. Dunn as candidate for guber-
material nomination that they are or
ganizing against him and in favor of
a Minneapolis candidate is patent to
everyone having the slightest familiar
ity with state politics. The personal
enmity Johnson entertains for Dunn
is equally we'll known.
If the fight to settle the question of
how the Investigations shall be con-
Quoted is prolonged for another week
or so, and then Johnson could get the
job of investigating the auditors Of
flee, it would be a very simple matter
to prolOng the examination until after
the adjournment Of the legislatures
Indeed, much more delay might result
in just that condition, regardless of
who may be picked to. make the ex-
animation.
The legislature adjourned, there
would be no one to receive a report of
an investigation ordered by it. The
report could be invested with mys-
terry and made a mighty lever against
Dunn in the country districts, regard
less of any disclosures that the inVeS-
tigation might or might not make.
The friends Of Mr.. Dunn, while none
of them is in a position to state what
his decision about political activity a
year hence may be, insist that the in
vestigation of the auditors Office should
be at once taken up and finished. Mr..
Dunn has himself told members of the
investigating committee that he rather
preferred to have Johnson conduct the
| investigation of the Office, if he can
be watched, and Dunn have any assur-
ance that the work would be pushed
and a report submitted before the end
of the legislative session.

AS TO SPOONING.

In view of the fact that the president of the United
States has put himself record favoring marriage
and the propagation of the species is in rather bad
for Prof Smart of the Dubuque high school, to
protest against "spoonng" in this wise:
"Spooning is an indecent foolish and lowering prac-
tce, demoraizng to those who indulge in it. young
and young go to their quiet in the
study hall before and after school hours then there
is chucking under the chin, patting the cheek and
encrcling of the girls waist by the young mans
arm"
1t has been said that propinquity begets love The
old theory that of opposite made for
each other longer obtains for quite certain that
marriages made earth.
Then why interfere with the spooning of high school
girls and boys7
1t is nnocuous and it is quite certain that it is not
general The high school boy is too busy contemplat-
ing his future to think very much of the high school
girl. Lovable she is she does ordinarily get
much consideration from her school of the opposite
sex. And if she does no harm eventuate Where
fore "spooning' is not to be altogether condemned

HE OUGHT TO KNOW.

Senator-Elect Reed Smoot, of Utah, vehemently de-
mics that he has than WIFE, and of he is
in position to know The resolves itself into
question of veracity If Smoot has but wife he is
telling the TRUTH if he has than he is telling
the truth Now, the question is, would naturally
tell the truth about the number of his wives if he has
more than one and would the possession of than
one wife predispose to sidesep the truth in dis
cussng the subject?
Many having but wife each are great liars
and the truth not in of Them but the same is
true of single men; hence the possession of wife
be said be prima facie evidence that man will
lie, in pinch On the other hand the possession
of wife cannot be offered prima acie evidence that
a will always tell the truth.
The of Srnoot is complicated His enemies We
hementy maintain that he has at least two wives, which
fact preudces his standing home only because of the
Smallness of the number In the of these United
States except possibly sections of Connecticut
duogamy is frowned upon and polygamy is a cause of
horror
But if Mr., Smoot is man of such standing in The
community that the party of great moral ideas
the grand old party, is proud to elect him the high
est Office in the gift of the state isn't it fair presume
he ought to know how many wives he has, and that he

CHARGE SHARP PRACTICE.
Committee Says information Was
Withheld on Chinook Bill.

The house yesterday indefinitely
postponed the Chinook bill for a re-
peal of the Hastings & Dakota rail-
road land act of 1895; but not until
after the sponsor for the bill and
members of the railroad committee had
a full opportunity to explain the at
tempted trick on the Babcock organ
ization.
The bill was introduced Jan. 26 by
Mr.. Chinook, by request. He was
told and the members Of the railroad
committee were told that it was de-
signed to assist the settlers trying to
clear titles to Hastings & Dakota rail-
road grant lands. 1t is claimed that
the day after the bill was introduced a
large number of land suits started
by Russell Sage, in apparent anticipa-
ton of the passage Of the bill.
This member did not apprise the
railroad committee Of his discovery or
appear at the hearing on the bill given
ten days after it's Introduction. This
member, it is claimed, purposed to use
the committees favorable report on
the measure as a means to the end Of
showing that the Babcock organiza-
Mr.. Chinook discovered the SEEM
ing purport of the measure and had it
sent back to the committee for slaugh-
ter. The committee was satisfied that
it was the intended victim Of sharp
political practice and decided to bring
the bill back without recommendation
and acquaint the house with the con-
ditions.
Representative ]. A. Haugland, Of
Chippewa county, where the large
number of suits were started, moved
for indefinite postponement Of the bill
and gave the committeeman and Chin
mock the opportunity they sought
Chairman Nolan, of the railroads COM
mittee, told the house that member
of the body had been informed of the
suspicious circumstances surrounding
the measure and willfully withheld his
information from the committee. DR..
Dorsey, also Of the committee, said he
had been told that Babcock's commit
tee would report out any railroad
measure" and roundly berated what he
styled baby act. Neither Nolan or
Dorsey mentioned any members name,
but Chinook was not so particular
By implication he gave the house to
understand tnaL dduSIduu Is the Indl
suspected Of the attempted trick. He
said the suits We're commenced in
Haugland's district He intimated
broadly that Haugland was entirely
familiar with the situation and said he
believed it the Montevideo mans duty
to place the railroads committee in
possession Of his information tending
to cast suspicion on the measure Mr..
Haugland did not answer any of the
speakers and the motion for indefinite
postponement was unanimously

HAB1rUAL CRIMINAL ACT.

T he Globe is in accord with any proposition
which will make Minnesota too hot for the habual
criminal Senator Smith has introduced bill subjectng
to imprisonment of twenty-five years any convicted
of felony the third time.
A man convicted three times of felony may Justly
be considered habitual criminal It is fair to pre-
his third ofense deliberate one done in the
full knowledge of the penalty awaiting if conviction is
secured. Previous terms of imprisonment have neither
reformed made him afraid Therefore the best thing
for the community is to put him out of the way so
securely that officers and courts will need give him
further thought.
Criminals with we'll known records would hesitate
before committing crime in Minnesota if the prospect
of quarter of century the state prison stared them
in the face The home article of lawbreaker, with his
msdoings record and easily obtanable in particular
would be inclined to keep within the bounds of the law and
the crooks from other states would to know
the fate in store for them should they into

AS TO THE PITUITARY.

The pituitary gland has been located-and that helps.
Interest in the pituitary has been vital in
other things but it generally admitted that there
something about the human body that had not been To-
Gated and it is just we'll to have the agony We
indebted to Dr. Sajous for the information that the
pituitary is located the base of the cerebellum. It's
business appears to be to just all the bodily unc
tons.
DR. Saous gravey informs that the science of med
icne will be revoutonzed by the location of the pitui
tary. Hereafter will simply put poultice the
back of neck and be cured.
There was some trouble about the appendix few
years ago and it became fashionable go about without
any appendix whatever. The vulgar became informed
about the appendix and it has become matter Of
form to go and have it extirpated But that discovery
of the pituitary is very different affair. 1t is thing
have incision made in the abdomen and the appe-
dix extirpaed and quite another affair to have
of the Uranium removed the end that the pituitary
may be looked into.
But it is of advantage know that there is gov
of the body and that it is located in available
spot. Just think of what disagreeable thing it would
be to have the pituitary in your foot

THE MAKING OF M1LL1oNAIREs.

If the developments that promised in the iron
range there will be mlionaires in Min
nesota than we can USE 1t now appears that iron is
being found by well-diggers in country that has not
been hitherto developed At several points along the
Missabe road has been found in totally unexpected
places and there is prospect of further finds that
it is demonstrated that the iron range is limited
The finding of ore made many rich in the early
oos but the activity of the corporations made it difficult
for the people who discovered the to control their
finds Now there prospect that the lucky who
find will realize their discoveries. An iron mine
is marketable asset There is longer any ques-
ton of the value of Minnesota is there any pos
bility of trouble about securing money to develop
mining prospect. The riches of the in are
undenabe and the facility with which the iron may
be taken makes it possible for the poor real
ze his find Wherefore the millionaire will be merely

CONGRESS is MERCIFUL.

The business interests of the country will be
in the knowledge that congress will clean up all
the bills that before it and the necessity extra
session will be obviated.
1t is clear that the Cuban reciprocity bill will
be passed and the canal treaty confirmed Without re-
gard to the merits of either the settlement Of
the questions involved will be source of congratua-
ton to the country The adjournment of congress car
res with the that there be harm done
and business will be inspired by that knowledge The
present congress has been practically nnocuous It has
accomplished nothing, but it has been hurtfu But
the country will feel ia the knowledge that
its capacity for doing injury is limited.

THE AT r E S

Captain links of the Horse Ma
rlnes, which was presented at the
metropolitan opera house last night,
mas been proclaimed by many citizens
to be the7ebestl of Clyde Fitch's plays,
and While there may be some difference
of opinion on that point, there can be
no dissension from the opinion that
it represents some of the best work
OF Clyde Fitch. The play is charac-
teristic of Fitch, and possesses suf-
nclent of his stamp Of literary style to
identify it as his; but there is no sim
ilarity to his other plays and no re-
semblance33 to those of anyone else.
In this drama more than in AMY of
his others, he has given scope to his
facility in satire, and the book Is full
of crisp and epigrammatic lines.
The story is cIeverly conceived, and
ingeniously wrought, and at times the
action is in 4 most natural manner
brought to a highly dramatic climax.

Governor Pro Tenn.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

That is not the style of calling card
now used by the chief clerk of the
house, but 1t may appear on the next
lot delivered from the printer, If Van
SAINT does not hurry home.
Chief Clerk Seminal stands between
the helpless people and a ravenous
legislature while Van SAINT it out Of the
pended.
Mr.. Schmars plan is simple and
should be altogether effective. Until
the governor returns or gets within
two days travel Of Minnesota, Mr..
Seminal, as chief clerk of the house,
will sign no bills passed by the house.
The legislative formula Is not COM
plete without the chief clerks sigma
ture; clearly as crystal, unsigned bills
cannot go to the executive Office and
become laws under the three-day pro-
vision OF the constitution. While the
governor SuSpends the veto power,
Seminal steps into the breach, wrestles
with the constitution and holds it and
vicious legislation at bay.
The chief clerk is modest about the
protection afforded the state through
him. He takes no credit for the in
ception of the clever plan. He said
yesterday that to date he has had no
occasion to withhold his signature, as
he has been requested to by the gov
ernor'S office. Mr.. Seminal thought
Chairman Dalen, Of the enrolling COM
mittee. had also been invited not to
hasten his clerks in their work until
the governor was headed for home.
Mr.. Dalen could not remember the in
vltation, in fact strenuously denied
that anything had been said to him
about 1t by anyone connected with the
governors Office. He did remember
Mr. Seminal saying something about II.
Judge Jamison was out of the city
yesterday, and the other attaches Of
the governors office disclaimed any
knowledge of the matter, leaving Mr..
Schmal without any confederation of
his modest disclaimers of conceiving
the neat little plan, which marks it's
author down for a front seat in the
diplomatists' section.

The Fosseen bill provides for COM

ditions and Representative Shepard,
Minneapolis, who is a member Of the
public health committee, tried to have
it Indefinitely postponed. Mr.. Gregory
made hard fight to secure separate
consideration Of his measure next week.
The opposition decried generally the

seems to be rapidly acquiring and Mr..
Gregory was forced to accept the half

sideration- with the Fosseen bill.
