Common Sense VS..
College Education.
By Ph1eur Traydur.

iARLEs T. YERkEs was right when he said that common sense
is better than a college education. The man with common sense
can always get an education, but the best education in the world
doesn't bring a man any more common sense than he was born
with. II a man inherits good common sense, a college education
will undoubtedly nep him to succeed. Without good common

Is L BETTER for a woman to be loving or to be loved? Inc CD
Vious answer is that it is best to be both. 1t is rarely that any
one man or woman is best loved by the person he or she loves
best Why this should be so is a problem that only the fates
presiding over the loves and lives of men could answer. And

BASSEH'S CREEK IS
IN GOLF CLUBS WAY
House Passes Senate Bill to Divert
Course of Minneapolis Stream

The house passed two bills yester-
day, one of them under suspension of
the rules.
The first was S. F. 113, by Calhoun
authorizing cities of $4,000 population
to divert streams for sanitary pur-
poses. The bill is intended to apply
only to Basset's creek, Minneapolis,
and to change its present course from
flowing into the Mississippi, in the
northern portion of the city, to q
course which will make it flow through
Lake Calhoun and Lake of the Isles
Hennepin county members insist that
the purpose of the bill is to give the
right of eminent domain to Basset's
creek, that the Bryn Mawr Golf club
may not wet its feet in pursuit of the
elusive golf ball.
The other bill is less pastoral in its
nature. II is TO give the state librarian
a $500 contingent fund to be used in
removing the library from the old to
the new capitol. 1t was introduced by
w. P. Roberts, chairman of the appro-
priations committee. who asked unani-
nous consent to its immediate passage

j. T.Wyman and Others Argue
Against RaChie Measure

j. t. Wyman, former senator from
Hennepin county and president of the
university board of regents, spoke
against the passage of the Rachie bill
before the house committee on state
university yesterday.
The Rachie bill prohibits heads of
the departments of the university and
its employees from being regents of
the school. 1t is aimed at Dean w. NJ
Liggett, of the state agricultural col
lege.
Mr.. Wyman explained that Dean
Liggett was member of the board of
regents before he was dean of the
agricultural college, and that his MEM
bership on the board was exceedingly
desirable from his knowledge of farm
school needs. He had some time ago,
Mr.. Wyman said, resigned from the
executive board of the university, and
had been succeeded by E. w. Randall
secretary of the State Agricultural
society. Senator A. r. McGill and
Representative NJ. J. OLaughlin also
spoke against tie Rachie bill. Senti-
ment was strongly against the bill, but
out of Difference to the author of the
bill, who was absent, no action was
taken.
The committee also informally dis
cussed the proposed woman's building
at the state university, for which
100000 is to be asked in a bill soon to
be introduced in the house by b. H.
Timberlake. Representative J. A
Anderegg, Ward Stone and NJ. ].
O'Laughlin told the committee that
complaints had come to them from
young women from the country who
attend the school that inferior ac-
commodations are afforded the young
women students.

JACOBSON BILL BACK
Peterson Introduces Much De-
feated Tax Measure

S. d. Peterson, of Brown, yesterday
introduced a familiar. measure in the
house. Ii is a copy of the tax bill first
introduced in the legislature four years
ago by ]. F. Jacobson, of Lac qui Parle,
and two years ago presented by ]. o.
HauglaDd, of Montevideo. At both ses
sions the bill was defeated, but Mr..
Peterson says he has hopes that the
session Of 1905 will enact the bill into
law.
The bill covers the entire taxation
question in the state, but its most i'm
portant feature is the creation of tax
commissioner. whose powers in taxa
ton matters are along the same gen.
eral lines given the state bank exam
iner in his department. The tax COM
missioner is to be appointed by the
governor Immediately on the passage
of the bill and is to serve for two years.
Thereafter he is to be appointed for
a term of four years. The salary is
placed at $500, and he is to be given
a stenographer at $500 and such 9TH
er help as the state auditor and state
treasurer shall direct. The bill confers
authority on the tax commissioner to
have access to all books of state, coun-
ty and taxation districts. He is given
authority to issue supoenas and to
compel the attendance of witnesses.
The tax commissioner is given special
duties in connection with the state
board of equalization with a view to
determining the values of franchises of
corporations. and the value of taxes
which may be collected on incomes.
The bill was referred to the commit
tee on taxes and tax laws, but on Mr..
Peterson's request unanimous consent
was given to the printing of the Pc
terson bill. Burdette Thayer, who some
time ago introduced a tax ferret bill,
was also given a similar privilege.

STILL AFTER PASSES
Representative Ware Revises
Free Transportation Bill

Representative A. K. Ware, of
Mortified, who won some notoriety by
introducing an anti-pass and 2 cents
mile bill early in the session, yester-
day presented two bills covering the
same subject matter of his first bill.
The Mortified mans first bill prohib-
tied the acceptance of passes by the
general public. His bill of yesterday
confines the prohibition to public Off
GERS, elective and appointive, but ex-
tends the articles which they may not
accept. They are barred from taking
free rides in railway and street rail-
way cars, and from accepting courte-
sizes from express, telegraph and tele-
phone companies. Removal from office
by the governor is made the penalty
of violation. The corporations are also
forbidden granting favors to the off,
Gals, and offenses are to be treated as
miSdemeanorS.
The second Ware bill fixes the maxi
mum charge for carrying passengers
on the railroads of the state at 21h
cents, and children between the ages
of six and twelve are to be carried for
IA. Mileage books of 1000 miles are
TO be sold at a rate of cents a mile.
Upon conviction of a violation of the
provisions of the act a fine of $50 to
$500 or six months in Jail is to be i'm
posed.

GIVES A MURDERER
CHANCE FOR LIFE
Senator Alleys Bill Leaving
Death Penalty to Discretion
of Jury Recommended

Senator Alleys bill designed to give
a person convicted of murder in the
first degree a chance to die a natural
death was recommended for passage
yesterday by the senate committee of
the whole. Senator Everett presiding.
In speaking for his bill Senator Al
ley offered an amendment providing
that in case the jury does not specify
the penalty Of life Imprisonment for
murder in the first degree, as it may
do under the bill, "the court shall GER
tify of record its opinion that by rea-
son of exceptional circumstances the
case is not one in which the penalty
of death should be imposed" The
amendment further provides that in
such case the punishment shall be
Imprisonment for life in the state
prison. The amendment was adopted.
1t gives the court the same discretion
over imposing the penalty that 1t al
lows the jury.
Senator Wilson offered an amend
ment in section 8, providing as the
penalty for murder in the second de-
gree imprisonment for not less than
thirty years nor more than fifty years.
senator Wilson moved that the mini
mum penalty for the. crime of murder
In the second degree be ten years and
that the maximum up to life imprison-
ment be left to the discretion of the
court. This amendment likewise pre-
vailed, and the bill as amended was
recommended to pass. Senator Wilson
declared that the maximum of fifty
years was virtually life Imprisonment.
1t was pointed out during the discus
sion that the bill omitted to provide
for the penalties in case the defend
ant pleaded guilty nf murder in the
first or second degree. This defect
occupied the attention of the judiciary
committee after adjournment, with
the result that the defect will be sup
piled by giving a person who pleads
guilty the same chances as are af-
forded a person who is convicted of
murder in the first or second degree.

WOULD ABOLISH
BONDAGE OF MINORS
Bill introduced i'm House InvaI-
idating Certain Contracts
With Apprentices

Conditions in certain cigar factories
in the Twin Cities are said to be re-
sponsible for a bill introduced yester-
day by John F. Selb in the house of
representatives.
Evils of the apprenticeship plan are
credited with demanding legislative re-
lief. The Selb bill is drawn to protect
the interests of minors employed in
factories, and its provisions require
that contract which shall contem-
plate the Withholding of any part of
the wages of the employe as a means
to enforce fine for neglect of duty,
incompetence or unskillful workman
ship shall be held invalid. 1t is also
provided that any change in the COM
pepsation shall be followed by new
written contract.
Rulings of the Ramsey county dis
trict court were in favor of contracts
under which young boys and girls en-
gagged to work in cigar factories. Un-
der these contracts, it is alleged, the
apprentice was little better off than in
bondage. The wages at the beginning
of the service were made $1.50 a week.
and the employers retained 75 cents
each week until a fund of 500 was
created. After a few months time the
employe was often earning almost ds
much for the employer as a skilled
workman, but with the retention of his
earnings he was forced to continue in
employment rather than sacrifice the
wages due him.
Several actions brought in the dis
trict court to set aside the contracts
as against public policy ended in the
contracts being held good. Mr.. Selb,
who was attorney for several of the
minors who sought TO recover under
the contracts introduced the bill yes
terday that the matter might receive a
direct legislative enactment. The la
Dor unions are behind the bill.

DANGEROUS DRUGS
MUST BE LABELED
House Bill Forbids Their Sale in Un
marked Bottles or Packages

H. B. Chamberlain, of Hennepin.
yesterday introduced a bill to supple
ment the legislation desired by the
State Pharmaceutical society to curtail
the use of drugs and opiates and to
prevent the sale of dangerous drugs
in unmarked bottles or packages.
The Chamberlain bill prohibits the
sale of opium, morphine, codine, laud-
anum or other opiates, unless the
character of the drug is specified on a
plainly marked outside wrapper. and IL
the medicine sold contains any of
these opiates the proportionate amount
shall be indicated on the wrapper
Violations of the act are to be treated
as misdemeanors.

MAYOR JONES MEETS

Ruler of Minneapolis Vainly Knocks

The mayor of Minneapolis vainly
knocked at the house doors yesterday.
Members of the Hennepin county dele
cation importuned Sergeant Arms
Claggett TO admit Mayor ID. Percy
Jones to the floor of the house. Mr..
Claggett declined to honor the request,
as he had had strict orders from the
speaker to enforce the exclusion act
against all Corners other than mem
bers, former members and state Off
cials
Mayor Jones therefore watched the

Election Bills Recommended

In committee of the whole the house
yesterday recommended two election
bills to pass. One is the Juliar bill,
shortening the hours for primary cleo
tions in country districts, and the
other is the Adams bill, prohibiting
the signing of petitions for independ-
ent candidates until after the primary
election is held. The Adams bill is in
tended to prevent voters participating
in the nomination of more than one
candidate for any office.

Greet Should Come Again.


IN this age of numberless theatri-
cal companies plying the ingenious
methods of the modern circus mana
ger to draw the public to the box
office it is not easy for the lover OF
offerings in the amusement line to dis
tinguish between the bad and meri-
toriOus attractions. For this reason
the Ben Greet company of English
players did not draw audiences to the
Illinois Saturday afternoon and even
ing of the size deserved. The Greet
company rarely gives performances
outside of the large cities. II was
passing from San Francisco to Chi
cago. where an extended engagement
is to be played. and it was decided to
drop off at a few points enroute. Rock

But the theatre going public did not

with the work of him and his asso-
ciates, and were they to play tonight
at the local playhouse doubtless there
would be a big audience. Mr.. Greet
