DEFINING PROTESTS
Says His Work Has Not Been Duly
4, ss d. Recognized. -"

/. P. G. Deming writes to take excep-
tion to an article in Th Q Journa
about the legislative situation in the
thirty7ninth district. He says that his
action on the Younger parole bill was
generally approved, and he is quite
willing to stand upon it, being able to
divide the responsibility with c. K.
Davis, Alexander Ramsey and Knute
Nelson, as well as many other leading
citizens who urged the parole. How
ever, he thinks some Importance should
be attached to his service to the uni
versity, as the member of the joint
committee which made up the appro-
priation bill, and especially his con-
sistent vote against including the uni
versity under the board of control. He
also introduced and secured the pas
sage Of most Of the legislation in the
interests Of Itasca state park.
Mr.. Deming also takes exception to
the statement that he is campaigning
by mail, saying he has not written any
letters in his own behalf up to date.

Ordinance.

DR.. Ohage's pet ordinance to prohibit
the use Of steam whistles in st. Paul
has been amended by the committee on
streets of the board Of aldermen 50 as
to limit whistling to ten seconds. This
amendment was adopted at the sugges-
ton of a number of manufacture who
to call the men to work. The compro-
mise does not satisfy DR.. Ohage at all,
as his men have not the time to sit
around with stop watches timing the
whistles.

JAP BELLBOYS ARRIVE

"That isn't Ohio; it's Minnesota"
sputtered a guest at the Hotel Nicollet
this morning as he opened the door
to get some hot water from the bellboy.
And then he stopped in amazement, for
before him stood, not the usual pert
oriental, resembling the pictures in the
papers Of the Japs at the front.
"Oh, excuse me; I meant good
morning, And the salaaming son of
Nippon had disappeared.
When the guest reached the office the
explanation was waiting. Yesterday

their duties at once. Their names
sound like some ancient temple on their
sacred mountain, Fuji-san, but people
are already calling them "Jim" anu

knowledge that the Republicans
