We desire to call attention to our
St. Paul correspondence published
on page 8. 1t is by far the best
account of legislative proceedings
published by any country paper in
the state. Especial attention is
called to what Mr.. Wollan says
about the Board of Control. Star
Chamber proceedings and Official
Secrecy are not compatible with
the principles of Republicanism.
We want none of it.

LESLIE n, BAILEY.

1t is with the feelings of deepest
regret and most profound sorrow
that we note the death of L. H.
Bailey of Bemidji. We were init
mately associated with him for
many years both in Washington,
D. c., and in this state. He was
a hard fighting but honorable
opponent and a true and loyal
friend. He was a man one could
tie to and feel secure. No man in
the state had more brilliant future
prospects. Farewell L. H., Peace
and farewell.

There is no question but that the
franking privilege is greatly abused
and that it should be reformed. 1t
is very proper that "official reports
and "official correspondence
should be sent through the mails
free but it should be franked under
a stamp and not under signature.
Each officer entitled to the
privilege should be furnished with
stamps and an accoun: of the same
kept so that it could be easily
ascertained to what extent he
patronizes the free list, and much
of the frankable matter should be
discontinued.
A Senate: or Congressman makes
speech. He wants the people to
know what a smart man he is. He
gets ton or two of them printed
(he does pay for the actual cost OF
printing! but the government will
fold and wrap them and put one OF
more into the hands of every man,
woman and child in the country
free of charge.
A business firm is always willing
to pay the expense of it's business
correspondence, whether carried on
by one of it's employees or member
of the firm but if one of it's clerks
were to write letter describing
his own good qualities and send out
a million copies do not think the
firm would foot the postage bills.
Reforms ought also 10 be in
stituted in the government printing
Office. A government printing
Office is necessity, but its opera
tions should be confined strictly TO
government work. 1t ought not to
be transformed into free publish
ing house for favorites. Very
large sums have been expended in
publishing scientific and historical
works for the benefit of Senators
and Congressman and their special
friends. There is really no greater
reason why the government should
fill the library shelves of officials
and a few friends with valuable
works like messages and Papers
of the Presidents, )" "Flags of all
Nations" "History Of the Capitol,
printed on fine paper and filled with
costly engravings, than it should
stock their cellars with wines from
France and furnish them cigars
from Havana, and we are suIe some
of them would perfer the wine and
the cigars.

Miss Yaya Cliffdweller was primping herself proudly before a mirror formed by a crystal spring. Though 30, this prehis- torie belle was good to look upon, more especially now with her hair tastefully smeared with cave bear oil and the wish bone of an ostrichosaurus stuck jauntily through her nose.
 "Ah, Miss Yaya," exclaimed Chollywog Stonehatchet admiringly, you look beau tiful, and so young, so very young" At this Miss Yaya burst into tears and coquettishly shied a rock at her admir- CTS head.

 ''Where is the harm in that?" asked Stone hatchet innocently.
 ''Harml" shrieked Miss Yaya, Do you know that the jurassic age covers mill lion years? The idea of exaggerating a ladys age in that manner"

was legal and valid meeting and that
he and his board of directors were
elected until May, 1906. Judge Pritch-

for the reason that his court, "a court
of equity, had no jurisdiction to pass
upon the validity of the election and
then try the question Of title to office.
"1n the meantime Lucas action must
be tried upon it's merits, appeal after
appeal can be taken by whatever side
looses, and the case will not likely stop
short of the supreme court of the Uni

the case has just gotten good started.
