George Washington of Mexico.

President Diaz of Mexico, the
George Washington of that republic,
has reached the age of 73 years with
vigor only slightly impaired after his
long life of unusual ctivity. He will
probably remain president of Mexico
as long as he lives, or, at any rate,
as long as he wants tc. He has ex-
pressed desire to give up public life
after service of fully half century.

One On Sam.

About the only time recently that
Sam Jones, the evangelist, was
fioored was aU his boarding house
recently when he was lecturing the
boys at the table by saying: "Oh,
I've been all along there, boys; L
know all about it, and l use to go
to balls and dances, too, boys. But
when wanted to get married,
when l wanted to settle down with
a good wife, l quit drinking and
gambling, and didn't go to "a ball
room to find my wife, but 1 went
to a prayer meeting and got one. "
He told this in Texas, and when he
returned to his boarding house, the
landlady, who had heard his re-
marks, said. 81 don't blame you,
Brother Jones, but poor Sister
Jones, where did she go to get her
husband?"

Kentucky a Confederate State.

In order to settle the disputed
question of Kentucky's position In
the Civil War, Mrs. Basil w. Duke
President of the Albert Sidney
johnson Chapter of the United
Daughters Of the Confederacy, at
the meeting of the chapter in Louis
vile Monday at the Louisville
Hotel, read from the Congressional
Record of the Confederate Congress
an act admitting Kentucky into the
Confederacy. The act was APPROX
ed December 10, 1851. and was en-
titled an Act for the Admission of
the State of Kentucky as a member
of the Confederate States of Amer
lea, on the same footing as the
other States.

The Tobacco Bill,

Commissioner Yerkes has sent tE,
the Ways and Means COMMITTEES
with recommendation for its pass
age, bill that will permit the M
restricted sale of unstemmed tObAe-
co in the natural leaf without tAE
or charge of any kind.
The bill for which the Kentucky
delegation has been fighting, COR
templated the unrestricted sale of
tobacco in na9ural twist. Commits
sioner Yerkes explained that he
could not concede so much on at
count of the difficulty in distiR-
gushing between twist made by
farmers and that by the regular to-
bacco manufacturers.
Congressman Trimble and al l
others interested are gratifed how
ever, at the concession made, and
believe that eventually the grower
will be allowed to sell his tobacco
in manufactured shape without
taxation.

Important Pension Ruling.

At Washington, Wednesday, the
25rd, Commissioner of Pensions
Ware, with the approval of Secre-
tary Hitchcock, issued an order
making the following changes in
considerations of pensions ranges !:
"Ordered, in the adjudication Of
pension claims under act of June
81, 1866, ae amended, it shall be
taken and considered as an eviden-
tial fact, if the contrary does not
appear, and if all other legal re-
quirements are properly met, that
when a claimant has passed the age
of sixty-two years he is disabled
one-half in ability to perform man
ual labor, and is entitled to be
rated at six dollars per month /;
after sixty-fve years at eight dol
lars a month; after sixty-eight
years at ten dollars per month, and
after seventy years at twelve per
month,
San allowance at higher rate,
not exceeding twelve dollars, will
continue to be made as heretofore,
where disabilities other than age
show the condition of inability to
perform manual labor.
"This order shall take effect APP
I'll l3, 1904, and shall not be
deemed retroactive.

BFCKHAM'S
Veto Message Relative to
State College.

a hS WV hANooef ~ AO'0 90 AOAAO W 9.
S. B. 31-An act for the benefit
of the A. and NJ. College of Ken
lucky, making an appropriation to
provide additional buildings and
equipments therefor.
II regret that the condition of our
State Treasury, after the large and
numerous apr OPERATIONS made by
the recent General Assembly, is
likely to be such that 1 feel COM
PEELED to veto this appropriation,
as we'll as some others which are
before me. The prospect of de-
pleted treasury in a year or two
from the large increase of the bur-
dens upon it, makes it necessary for
me to curtail wherever L can the
expenses of the State government.
l shall, therefore, approve only
such appropriations as seem abso-
lutely necessary for the mainte.
nance of the public institutions of
the State in their present condi-
ton. However desirable various
improvements in them might be,
and however much it might please
our State pride to see them fostered
and developed, we are nevertheless
confronted at the present time with
the plain business proposition
can we afford it? 1 believe not,
and for that reason 1 must disap-
prove this and several other appro-
priations which, under a more
promising condition of our State
finances, l would cheeIfully ap-
prove. The State College is an ex-
cellent institution and deserves all
the aid we can afford to give it, but
while building a new capitol, with
many other increased expenses, the
State must deny to its institutions
anything more than what they &C
tually need"
The bill asking for $25, 600 is
disapprovsd."
The Governor has done the
proper thing in this. Let the ia
Guilty use what they have to the
best advantage, being content with
a spirit of self support rather than
anticipating a continuous feeding
from the public crib.-Ed.
He also disapproved the bill to
furnish free copies of Kentucky re-
ports to Circuit, County and Fed
eral Clerks, and which would
amount TO $62, $50; the bill to fur
nish complete reports and docu-
ments to counties where they have
been burned or destroyed; the bill
allowing fee OF So in felony cases
to the Circuit Clerk of Jefferson
county. He also vetoed $15.930 OF
the $22.2l9 appropriation for the
benefit of the Deaf Mute Institute,
at Danville.
Among the twenty-five bills ap-
proved were the bill prohibiting
coeducation of races in Kentucky

public utility franchises in Louis
vile, the Klair Compulsory Educa-

Bill amending salary of peniten-
tiary guards from $50 to $75 per

OTHERS VETOED

%@HE season Of 1904 promises to be
IL a great one for baseball in the
Minnesota conference league,
comprising teams from Carleton, ST..
Olaf, Shattuck, Hamline, st. Thomas
and Manchester. There is an album
dance of good material in all of the
schools this year, and the greatest
trouble the coaches are having is to
weed OUT and decide upon who shall
have places on the various teams.
Out at Hamline the spring practice
work has already commenced, and i'll
few days more the first games of the
season will be played The Saints are
also busy preparing for the brief CAM
paign which the schools will partici-
pate in, and when the season opens in
earnest st. Thomas will be ready to
meet all Corners.
Down at Faribault Capt. hammers
is getting together a team that will be
credit to Shattuck, and the soldiers
are making some great predictions for
their team. There is an abundance of
material from which to select a team
at Shattuck, and with the ability Of
Capt hammers to select ball players
who can deliver the goods, the other
teams in the Conference league will be
kept pretty busy if they prevent the

much care, and if one or the other of
these two institutions does not carry the
pennant to Mortified at the close of
the season, there will be lot of stu
dents up that way who will have new
guesses coming
Capt. Brenna, who has charge of the
selection of the st. Olaf team, is more
than pleased with the outlook, and
with the numerous candidates for
places on the team, he is sure to select
a fast one. The st. Olaf students have
great faith in Capt. Brenna. and they
are depending upon him. to win honors
for his school on the diamond this
spring.
Carleton will have a strong team, and
Capt. Rose has already had the boys
out for several practice games. The
various candidates are getting in con-
dition rapidly, and when the team is
finally selected Carleton promises to
set the pace for her five competitors.
The bad weather has somewhat in

have been taken advantage of by the

will begin active work this week, prac-
