We suspect that there would be
another row in the election if the rep
,resentation of Hennepin county in the
state convention were cut down one
third. It happens that the normal

votes. Minneapolis Tribune.
Why not base representation in the
state convention on the votes cast for
John A. Johnson for governor? The
Hennepin county renegades must be
conciliated at all hazards. Let us
have harmony at any price. No re-
publican who was loyal to the ticket
in 1904 should be eligible to a seat in

The traitors should be given a free
rein, to nominate a ticket and elect

It is particularly refreshing to note
the manner in which. American snobs
who disobey the laws are handled in
foreign countries. The latest to be
thrown into dungeon is that pom
pous young daredevil, W. K. Wander
bilt, jr., who ran over boy with his
automobile in Pontedera, Italy, and
drew a revolver upon the crowd which
mobbed him therefor. His chauffeur
also shared his fate. Another of the
Vanderbilt tribe is doing time in the
common jail at St. Queen, France, for
running down with his machine

He is Elliot F. Shepard of New York,
a grandson of the Tate w. II. Wander
bilt. He was sentenced to three
months Imprisonment, to pay S12O fine
and $4,000 damages to the parents OF
the girl he murdered. How differently
would these snobs have been treated
in America for like offenses. They
would scarcely find any difficulty here
in convincing the court or jury that
to the persons struck down attached
the blame.

REVISION COMMISSION DID RIGHT.
Who is to blame for the failure to
provide sufficient funds for the main
tenance of state institutions at the last
session of the legislature? Certainly
not the code revision commission.
The commission in it's work of revis-
ing and codifying the laws wiped
out all standing appropriations, thus
each legislature was left free to APP
propriate at each session the funds
necessary to carry on the state gov
eminent. Some of the executive Off
GERS and heads of departments who
were afraid that the appropriations
for their respective departments would
look large to the members of the leg
islature, if the total amounts neces-
sary were appropriated annually,
persuaded the appropriations COM
mittees of the house and senate to re-
instate in the code the sections of law
which provided for standing appro-
priations, and the section which pro-
vided standing appropriations for
state institutions was overlooked.
The fault lies primarily with the house
committee on appropriations, and the
executive officers are not altogether
blameless. It does seem that by a
little stretch of authority, even if not
strictly in accordance with law. on
the part of the state auditor and state
treasurer: the state institutions need
not be hampered for the lack of neces-
sary funds until the legislature con-
venes next January, and it should not
be necessary to convene the legisla-
ture in extraordinary session, and we
do not believe Gov. johnson will call
an extra session.
The revision commission acted
wisely in wiping out all sections of
the statutes which provided standing
appropriations, and the legislature
Numbered when it reinstated those
sections in the code.
