Corporation Attorney Michael holds
amendment requiring the board Of
school inspectors to furnish free text
books in the ST. Paul graded schools,
and that the privilege is accorded by
the state constitution and is therefore
not subject to legislati ton to the con-
trary, if such there is.
The verbal ruling was made by Mr..
Michael at the instance of the local
Trades and Labor assembly, it having
been contended that the women are
entitled to vote upon all questions per-
tanning to the schools in any manner
whatsoever, and that if such was the
case provision should be made whereby
it will be possible, to accommodate the
women on election day. a
Mr.. Michael soon discovered the pro-
vision of the constitution, approved by
vote of the people at the general elec-
ton in 1898, that confers upon women
in the state the right to vote upon all
measures relating to the schools or
libraries" the language being so abso-
lutte that there is no ground for doubt
that the intention Of the constitution
was to give women the right to vote
for, or against the important question
as to the adoption of the free text book
plan. The ruling was very pleasing to
the representatives of labor, it being
their belief that with the women voting
there is no question that the amend
ment will be carried.
No Doubt as to the Law
There seems to be no ground for
doubt as to the law" said Mr.. Michael.
1T clearly provides that women are
entitled to vote on all measures relat-
ing to schools and libraries, and it
makes no difference If there should be
somewhere in legislative enactments a
contrary provision, for the constitution
takes precedence. The result will be

met by an immense crowd of cheering
citizens and a troop of cavalry which
escorted him to his hotel. He had a

Congress Is having q featureless session
on the whole this winter. Therein II has
disappointed most of the politicians and
observers of political events. 1t was ex-
pected that politics would afford some
diversion from the humdrum routine of
legislation, but thus far there has been
comparatively little political debate that
the country will remem Der a couple of
months from now There has been
squabble or two In the House among some
OF the younger bioods, who were eager for
q chance to cross swords In political
debate. They wanted to say cutting
things about the other fellows, and ttey
wanted to give and take few blows last
to be certain that they were in fit condi-
ton for combat.
Generally there Is a lot Of legislation in
preparation before the various committees.
FMS winter, however, very few OF the
committees are at work save on the sppro-
priation bills. and they are distributed to
only about q half dozen committees in he
respective branches OF Congress- TIE

Is growing very wearisome. though IL Is
recognized that the debate on various
phases of that convention is not without
good eff ct.

To the Editor of The american:
In The AMERICAN OF Jan. n | noticed
an article from the pen OF e. W. Wooster,
who was found sympathizer through the
Rural Neg Yorker down 1t Connecticut.
Maine nevez boasted OF having all of the
cranks within its borders, and 1t is not
strange that one has been found in the
first named state.
Should his proposed official materializa,
and his views agree with the man from
South Hancock, he would be a very
brainy official; II not, he would be O
mighty small affair.
Evidently Mr.. Wooster is rubbing up
that old gun again. 1t may do to shoe!
robins, but will not kill mosquitoes.
On the whole 1t is not pleasing task to
run contrary to the opinions of the ma
jority of mankind. c. e. BUTLER.

All for Roosevelt.

All IOF hSOOStteAts
President Roosevelt should be sat
isfied with the rapidity with which
the sentiment of the country in crys-
talking in his favor. Congressman
Stevens, of Minnesota, says that
within thirty or sixty days all anti
Roosevelt talk will disappear. By
that time it will be plain that great
majority of the delegates to Chicago
have been instructed to vote for the
nomination of the President.
Senator Platt, of New York, says
the delegates from his state will be SO
instructed. Even Gov. Durbin, of
Indiana, while admitting the popu-
larity of Senator Hanna in that state,
announces that If President Roosevelt
is nominated at Chicago, he will get
the party vote of the state.
Congressman Lands, of Indiana,
VITO in his paper has often called
President Roosevelt s'sham re-
former, now says he has changed his
mind, and that he will be nominated
with the record of his administra
ton for his platform.
Senator Heyburn called at the
White House last week and informed
the President that Idaho endorses his
administration. Senator Cullom says
there is nothing but Roosevelt senti-
ment in Illinois among the republi-
cans.

The first speech from the democra-

tying the Panama treaty was made
last Wednesday by Senator simmons,
of North Carolina. He said it is hard
to argue against success; impossible
to do so against fact. He accepted
the situation as it exists, and would
vote for the treaty, as his people are
very anxious to have the canal built.
In so doing he would not condone any
wrong that might have been done to
Colombia, or the violation of any iu-
ternational law. Senators on both
sides of the chamber listened with
undivided attention.
