THINK IT A JOKE
j. Adam Bede Requests
Younger's Full Pardon.

). Adam Bede, M. c., called unon
GOV. Van SAINT and other members Of
the state pardon board yesterday to
present request for an unrestricted
pardon for Cole Younger.
But as 1t was Bede the humorist
none OF those with whom he talked
was quite sure whether he was ioshiny
or In earnest-particularl in view Of
the subject of his remarks-so If tho
proposition is a serious one. if is CO
rlous only to Younger. None of the
members of the board would disease
the matter seriously in the light Of q
formal application.
GOV. Van SAINT, when seen after the
vlslt OF Congressman Bede, said. ooh

of Younger. but 1 didn't understend
plication." maj az

strlct1ons attached to his pardon an.
pears In itself quite humorous to most
OF the state officials, for he has already
dlsregarded the conditions of his narole
agreement by engaging in the show
Mr.. Bede explained that he met
Younger in Washington, and Younger
asked MIN TO request the pardon board
10 release him from the restrictions of
the pardon agreement. He said he
wanted to enter into contracts for the
81. Louis exposition and the terms of
MS pardon would hamper him in his
transaction, although he did not intend
10 go INTO the show business or any,
thing that had been prohibited.

White Bear Beach Teacher Sues to
Collect Her Salary.

The war between some of the resi-
dents of White Bear Beach and Miss
Blanche Mcintosh, a teacher in the
school at that place, has broken into
the courts.
Miss Mcintosh yesterday brought
mandamus proceedings to compel Os-
car F. Bardwell, a trustee, to sign the
order for her salary of $50, as provided
oy law. The order for the months SAL
airy was issued by the clerk. but Bard
well declines to sign it, and the town
treasurer cannot pay without the trus-
tees signature.
The trouble between the teacher and
the patrons of the school arose over the
alleged strenuous methods emDIoved
by Miss Mcintosh in disciplining pu-
pills, and her resignation was demand
ed, but not forthcoming The teacher
has number of friends in the district.
some of them on the school board, and
she has thus far been successful in re-

How 1t Works in England.
"The enforcement of an eight-hour
law might, however, be interfered with
by workmen themselves who were anx-
ious to make more money instead of
having extra leisure.
Many objections have been brought
against shorter hours for workmen by
those opposed to the movement In
England, when the factory operatives
were working fourteen and fifteen
hours day, it was said that If the men
were given more time to themselves
they would spend it in the public
houses, or saloons, as we would call
them; but as the hours were cut down
from fourteen to twelve and twelve to
ten the result most apparent was the
increase In the beauty of the towns
The men, instead of resorting to the
saloons, spent their time in cultivat-
ing gardens about their homes, so that
before long every village and town in
the kingdom was improved in appear

In effect, the people are not only happy
and prosperous, but the country is
beautiful, and the nation is holding it's
own with the other countries, notwith-
standing the fact that the workmen Of
some others work fourteen hours a
day.
Improvement in machinery and in
the skill of the workmen Is bound to
have the effect of reducing the length
OF the working day in America as in
England, and the result will be the

IGNORE HEALTH LAW WOLFER MAY RESIGN
LOggers Fire Out Men Afflicted
With Smallpox.

Smallpox in the lumber camps of the
extreme upper Mississippi region, sur
rounding Lake Itasca, has been giving
the state board of health a great deal
OF annoyance. The trouble is not so
much due to prevalence of the disease
as to the course pursued by the own
ers of camps in their treatment of their
men who become affected,
DR.. P. D. Winship, local health off,
Ger of Park Rapids, in a letter to DR..
Bracken, secretary of the state board,
says:
"The owners of camps are getting
wise, and as soon as there is suspicion
OF smallpox they fire the men out of
camp and give them the trail with
out ceremony"
Dr. Winship tells of his investiga-
lions as to an outbreak of smallpox in
one of the camps near Mallard, MINI.
he says that one of the men as soon
as it was discovered that he had small
poX, was given his time" and told to
leave. This man went to Park RAPIDS.
ana on the way visited a number Of
saloons and rode for some distance in
the mail carriers sleigh, along the ru-
raj Tree delivery route. Three other
men at this same camp, who had pre-
VlouSly developed the disease. had dis
appeared before DIR. Winshin arrived
there, and it was believed they went to
Bemidji DR.. Winship estimates that
more than 400 persons were exposed to
contagious through the scattering of
these men.
There are five camps in the immedi-
ate vicinity of Park Rapids, and the
state board will take measures to have
them closely watched and their owners
held accountable for strict observance
OF the health laws regarding conta-
gious diseases.

BEDE SAYS HANNA is
OUT OF THE FIGHT
Realizes That He Hasn't the Physical
Strength for 1t.

j. Adam Bede, who has sprung into
national fame as the official jester Of
the national house of representatives,
was in st. Paul yesterday, doing a lit
tie missionary work in behalf Of his
friend, Frank M. Eddy, who is making
still hunt. for the Republican nominal
ton for governor 1oITev5s 10 rscsz =
Mr.. Bede asserts that he came to
Minnesota to look after few postofice
matters. He denied he was interest
ing himself in" the gubernatorial fight.
He was interested in the reports con-
corning the health of Senator Hanna,
and expressed a fear that the senator
would not recover from his attack Of
fever.
Hanna is In nowise a candidate for
the presidency" said Mr.. Bede. "He
realizes that he has not the strength
to undergo campaign and to fill the
office for four years, should he be
elected. He is satisfied to remain where
he Is with six years more of senatorial
work before him"

"Laborers employed by the city in
cleaning streets might work fifteen
hours a day and not accomplish as
much as industrious men could in six
or eight hours" said Prof. George S.
Innis, of Hanline university, address,
ing the Mems club at the Bethel last
night. Il have seen the men paid by
the city to clean the streets shoveling
letsurely and resting several minutes
between each slight exertion. They
pick up stone, cast it aside, converse
for a while, smoke their pipes, gaze
about for an interval, and then for a
brief space of time resume their toll.
IF hours Of labor are to be reduced
the productiveness of the Workmen
must be increased" continued Prof.
1nnis. ut is well recognized that men
can do better work If they are confined
only eight hours instead of ten or twelve.
They are more energetic and responsive
to the demands made upon them, and
will, as soon as properly trained, do as
much in the shorter period. But the
workman should bear in mind that in
seeking shorter hours he should also
seek to become more efficient
TO get shorter hours the laboring
man and mechanic must remember that
his skill must be increased in proper
ton to the reduction of the length of
time he is to work each day, for it
would be wrong to think that the in
dustrial work could get along by pro-
ducing less. Reductions in hours I'M
der those conditions would not be OBJ
posed by the employer, for he would be
losing nothing. He would have the
same quantity Of goods to place upon

fraction thereof, and five delegates at
large in addition.
In view of the fact that all Of the
talk of abolishing the delegates at
large had been by the Collins people,
It was expected that this motion would
rorce them to show their strength, but,
instead of opposing the proposition,
the Collins supporters remained quiet
and declined to enter into any propo-
sftion which would force them to a
vote.
Chairman Jamison, in calling the
committee to order,-said the object of
the meeting was to fix the date for a
state convention to elect delegates at
large and alternates to the Republican
national convention, and to designate
congressional committees to call the
olStr1ct conventions for the election of
delegates and alternates to the same
convention.
c. A. Morey, of Winona, moved that
the convention be held at Minneapolis,
but Gen. M. D. Flower thought 1t
should be held in st. Paul. Following
prlef talks of the supporters of the two
cltleS, Minneapolis was chosen by a
vote OF IA to z. The convention will be
held IN the Bijou opera house Thurs
day, March IL. In this connection it may
be stated that the selection Of st. Pat
rlck's day was merely coincidence,
the date favored being Wednesday.
March Is, but the opera house could
not be secured on this date, and the
change was made.
The apportionrnent agreed upon by
the committee will make state con-
vention of LILO delegates.
