THE proposition made in the House

THE proposition made in the House of
Representatives for the adoption of a
rule that clerks in the government service
shall be dismissed as unfit after attaining
the age of seventy years should be voted
down. The time to dismiss a public
servant is when he ceases to earn his pay
by giving efficient service, no matter
what his age may be. There is no other
common sense or fair working rule. Some
men at seventy are much more active
and efficient than others are at sixty, SC
age should not be the test of competency.

Fifty-Eighth Congress.
Washington, April rs.
SENATE.

Mr.. Cullom, chairman of the commit
tee on foreign relations, gave notice that
on tomorrow he would deliver some
remarks upon the subject of treaties.
During consideration of the naval APP
preparation bill Mr.. Hale declared that
if the provision authorizing the construc-
ton of first class 5attleship had not
been accepted by both branchs of Con-
gress the eonferraes would have stricken
it from the bill.
Mr.. German expressed the hope that
experience would bring Congress back to
a more careful scrutiny of the naval ap-
preparations.
The conference report on the naval
appropriation bill was then agreed to.
The conference report on the postof-
flee appropriation bill was presented but
went over.
HOUSE.
In the House today, the Alaskan del
egate bill which was pending when adj
iournment was had on Saturday, was
read for amendments.
On objection, the bill was temporarily
laid over.
Mr.. Burton called up the river and
harbor appropriation bill, and on his
motion, the House disagreed to the SEN
ate amendments.
No attempt was made to send the bill
to conference, although the bill must
fail without a conference. This action
of the House is intended as a rebuke to
the Senate for loading down the House
bill, which originally carried SO, 600, 600
for the continuation of improvements
now under way, with large number of
new projects.
The general deficiency bill was sent to
conference, the Senate amendments hav-
ing been disagreed to.

Anent Isanti Representative.

The News is informed on reliable
authority that a citizen of Isanti coun-
ty intends to be a candidate for the
Republican nomination for represen-
tative this fall. The Forty-ffth dis
trict consists of Isanti, Anoka, Mile
Laos and Sherburne counties, and has
one senator and three representatives
giving one member to each county.
At present Isanti county has the sena-
tor, whose term does not expire till
January, 1907. Should a representa-
tive from here be chosen this fall it
would deprive one of the other coun-
ties of representation to which it is
justly entitled. Already having the
best Office in the gift of the district.
we should not attempt to get both feet
in the trough. Two years hence there
will be an opportunity for citizen OF
this county to secure q seat in the
lower house at St. Paul, but any
lsanti county man who may attempt
to secure the position this year should
be efeated.-Isanti News.

Dunn on Primary Extension,

Robert G.. Dunn, in conversation
with St. Louis county man, during
one of the stirring hours of the late
Republican convention, remarked that
he had very materially changed his
views upon the primary election law.
He said that he had watched it's
workings and had come to the conclu-
sion that it gives in a greater degree
the expression of the public will, than
does the old caucus and convention
method.
He is an enthusiastic advocate of it's
extension to State offices, and pur-
poses. if elected governor to recon-
mend to the legislature, an amendment
to the law, extending it to cover the
State ticket. Mr.. Dunn said that he
considered the recent convention as an
object lesson pointing to the necessity
for a primary law to be operative in
State politics.
IF [ am nominated and elected, -
he said. II will submit to the legisla-
ture an amendment to the primary
law, extending it to State Offices, and
will urge its adoption with all the
argument at my disposal. I do not
think it will be difficult matter to
obtain such an amendment. [ think
there is healthy demand for it, At
any rate, as I said before, 1 intend if
elected, to give primary extension my
fullest consideration.
Minnesota has tested the primary
law and has found it good. It is no
longer an experiment. It is part and
parcel of popular government. The
proposition to include the State offices
within it's province, is common sense
One.n
The idea is finding expression in
the Minnesota press, regardless of fac
ton or party. If Mr.. Dunn, as gov
ernor, secures its amendment, he will
perform another signal public service.

Some Cow Yarns.

A Kansas man had COW that
chewed off a ROSTERS tail and the
next day when he MIXED her she gave
a gallon and half of the finest kind
Of cocktail. We had COW ourselves
once who swallowed an almanac and
gave creamed dates, says an ex-
change. TO which the Volga Tribune
man makes the electrical charge that
he once owned a COW that absorbed
several streaks of lightning during a
thunder storm and in the evening
gave pail of currents. Nothing at
all says the Aurora Times, we MIXED
one OF fathers COWS after a hail storm
and got fourteen quarts of ice cream.
After all these COWS were all tame be-
side the one a farmer told us about
last spring. He said his COW in eating
the grass out of his back yard acct
IDENTIFY swallowed live frog and
that she has been full of hops ever
since and gives eight quarts of prime
beer at each milking. This is sup
posed to be the cream of all Jokes but
it isn't even an Irish "bull. n-Fland-
reau IS. D. Enterprise.
The Mile Laos county COW will have
to be included in the above list. Up
in Milo COW got into the sugar bush
last spring and drank several kettles
of maple syrup and that COW has been
giving maple mousse ever since. We
also call attention to the fact that a
common general-purpose COW in the
town of Hayland ate a lot of popcorn
one fall and gave the finest kind of
milk shakes all winter.

SIX HUNDRED IND SEVENTY FIVE
WITHOUT RAMSEY OR HENNEPN

SIX HUNDRED IND SEVENTY IYI
WITHOUT RAMSEY OR HENNEPIN.
Editor Baker of the Stewart
Tribune says in his paper last
week that the boilers nominated
Bob Dunn, meaning that if the
Hennepin delegation for Dunn had
not been seated he could not have
been nominated. The Tribune edi-
tor could not have studied the fig
ures very closely or he would have
noted that Bob Dunn's followers
controlled the State convention
from the start and had a majority
without the Hennepin delegation.
On the test vote Mr.. Dunn had 622
votes and it only took $50 to NOM
mate. The fact is the country
stood by Dunn and nominated him
without the cities. The Tribune
says chad the Dunn men had
enough honestly-elected delegates
to control, there would be nothing
to criticise." Well, why are you
criticising? If you will just look
at the vote of the convention you
will find that Mr.. Dunn had over
600 delegates from the country dis
tricts whose right to seats in the
convention was never questioned,
to nominate him without the cities.
Why not give the matter straight?
Hutchinson independent Times.
Mr.. Dunn's real strength in the con
vention, which would have developed
on the first formal ballot for Cover
nor was 675 votes outside of Ramsey
and Hennepin counties. In othe1
words Mr.. Dunn had 81 more votes
than the test vote to seat the contest
ing delegates from Hennepin county
indicated. All through the pre-con
vention campaign Mr.. Dunn insisted
that he would have enough votes il
the convention to nominate him out
side of Ramsey and Hennepin, ant
with the support of both or either O.
those counties he would be nominated
by reclamation.

It doesn't look like harmony in
Hennepin county was all ripped up the
back, to use a slang expression. The
new county committee was organized
the other day with T. H. Girling and
A. A. D. Rain, two very ardent Dunn
supporters, as chairman and secretary
respectively. George L. Matchan,
former chairman of the Republican
county committee, and who was man
ager Of the Collins campaign in Hen
nepin county, sent letter to the COM
mittee in which he promised to sup
port the ticket from top to bottom.
Mr.. Matchan, like some others. was
not satisfied with the action OF the re-
cent State convention as to it's choice
for the head of the ticket, but he stated
in his letter that he would not bolt
the ticket and would work for its sue
cess.

A writer says that writing on the
first, then on the third, then crosswise
on the second and fourth, facilitates
the reading and is common form. To
this bare statement of mOnstrOsity
in social correspondence another
writer says: ''This may be, and I
think is, quite common form, but it
is not common sense, and it certainly
does not facilitate the reading II
so, why not print our books on the
same plan: In letter writing certainly
the sensible way is to go right on,
from the first to the second, third and
fourth pages, as in a book. This GER
tainly Facilitates the reading, and is
the natural way" We have been
looking for some one to knock the
fad, and now that the bars are down
let all join in the chorus and go back
to the simple, sensible old way Of
writing. To read one of the modern,
up-to-date hang-it-all letters requires
considerable research for the missing
links. Some cheap duke or duchess
while in fit OF temporary insanity
started the fad and the aping multi.
tude has followed suit.
