HUSBAND OWNS WiFE's JEWELS

The English supreme court Of appeal has
decided that the jewels Of wife form
part and parcel OF the husbands property,
since they were given to her in order to
'"suit her position in society,"" and not for
her sole ownership and use. This gives to
every impecunious British earl and duke
and baron and baronet, whose American
wives have brought them the funds to re-
store their sacred position in society
the right to dispose of all the jewels
which they brought with them, whether
purchased Of their own fortunes or given
them by tuft- hunting friends, Marlbor-
.ough, Roxburghe, Curzon-any number
more, are by this decision made actua.

The Republican Situation in Min.
neSOta.

According to the reports received
by h e o-u n a l today from all
the republican county conventions
held yesterday neither candidate for
governor has a majority of all the
votes to be cast, and neither is in a
position to organize the convention.
Mr. Eddy holds the balance Of power,
and the disposal OF his votes, either
to Collins or Dunn, would create a
majority. ~. .., ~
This is the interesting and peculiar
situation in the republican convention
as it seems to exist at this time. What
the outcome will be must be settled
by the delegates themselves when
they get together and the roll is
called. The result cannot be safely
forecast at this time. ~.
We believe that in this size-up Of
the situation absolute fairness has
been exercised toward each candidate
and that the situation today is sub
stantially as stated in our news COL
umns. T h o u n a is more anx-
ious to get the facts and present them
to it's readers than it is to promote the
interests of any candidate. Its first
object is to give to it's readers re-
liable information as far as it is OBJ
tainable. In conventions, however,
where there are a number of unin-
structed delegates, the action Of those
delegates in the convention may not
be anticipated with absolute accur-
acy. %
A matter of vital Importance to the
republican party at this time is the
methods pursued in this campaign
The bolt of the Dunn men in Ram
sey and Hennepin counties demon
strates the desperate policy of that
faction and their willingness to ruin
where they could not rule. In ne1-
Their case does there appear to have
been any justification for such action
and in both cases this conclusion is
supported by the action Of some Dunr
men themselves who refused to fol
low their leaders into an open bolt.
Republican politics in Minnesota
have been subjected in this campaign
to influences and policies which seri
ously threaten the dominance of thu
