intention of reading the decision as

But do you believe the decision will

Nobody can tell what the United

were any means of knowing there are
scores of anxious men in the United
States who would hasten to avail
themselves of the chance concerning
other matters than the Northern Sc
curitieS decision. 1t is to be assumed

Is there any actual cause for the fears

ut is sufficiently evident, 1 should
think that the business@of the country
Is in a healthy condition. There are
certain elements In the situation per-
haps that could be improved upon, but
the great basic fabric of the nations
prosperity is the condition of the indus
trial population. The working people
of the United States were never so
well off as now, nor were the farmers
ever more prosperous. Manufactures

Commission Bill.

Senator Eberhart won his fight for
a state highway commission yesterday
afternoon, the senate passing the bill
providing for this commission by q
vote of 81 to II.
Senator Thorpe opposed the meas
ure, insisting in long speech that
the commission was not wanted. and
would only prove an additional ex-
pense to the state. The senator from
Kandiyohi explained in detail the pres
ent system. and endeavored to point
out that the state commission could not
improve upon the present methods

pie were opposed to the commission

Senator Eberhart answered Senator
Thorpe, and made an earnest plea for
good roads. He insisted that the roads
of the state could be vastly improved
and would be when under the super
vision of the state commission.

PRIMARY LAW STANDS.
Senate Turns Down Non Partisan Ju-
dietary Bills.

QiClary 6IllSs
Senator Morgan made a hard fight
In the senate yesterday morning to
save his bill to except the judicial and
congressional candidates from the op-
Grafton Of the primary election law. but
despite the earnest plea of the senator
from Freeborn, the upper house refused
to tolerate any amendments TO the
present primary statute, and rejected
both the Morgan bill and Representa-
tive DoWling's bill for non-partisan
judiciary.
Senator Morgan's bill was side
tracked on the recommendation of the
senate committee on elections. Senator
Morgan tried to have the indefinite
postponement recommendation held
long enough to allow the measure a full
hearing. Senator Lord came to his as
slStance with a motion to advance the
bills to general orders, but the motion
was voted down.
Although the senate refused to delay
the end of the bill, Senator Morgan
really succeeded in having his bill dis
cuSSed thoroughly before the commit
tee report was adopted. the senator
from F,reeborn starting an argument
that continued until the entire meas
ure was reviewed.
Senator Morgan insisted that his
proposed amendment was a necessary
one, and denounced the system that
compelled a judicial candidate to get
down into the sewer of politics and
lower himself by mixing with ward
heelers. A judge dignified enough to
refuse to do this was sure to be de-
feated by the man who cared nothing
for appearances.
Taking up the congressional candi-
dates, the author pointed out that it
was generally admitted that the sys-
tenn when applied to congressional dis
tricts proved too expensive 1t barred
the poor man from congress because
it compelled two campaigns and an
expense of at least $4,000.
The motion of Senator Lord to ad-
vance the bill to general orders was
rejected by a vote of 20 to q. and the
indefinite pOstponement recommended

This resolution appears to be due to
the overwhelming strength of the
