Mrs. AyreS' Expulsion.

Mrs. Ayres' resentment Of what she re-
garded as the unjust treatment Of her son
was one Of the causes Of her exclusion
from West Point. The zeal cause was her
denial to Superintendent Scott, Command
ant Howe. and Capt. Oliver that she had
inspired newspaper reports about Howze's
famous order on Easter Day. for girls
whom cadets rad lent overcoats to re-
turn them forthwith. The cadets regard
ed that order as ungallant and humiliat-
ing to them and their girl friends and
relatives
Mrs. Ayres' daughter, Cadet Ayres' sis
ter. Emile. refused to give up the coat
she had on. defying Col. Howzes order.
Out Of that incident arose the letters TO
the Adjutant General.

No; achievement by this congress is
of so great Importance as that &C
complished by Senator Knute Nelson
in steering through to passage the bill
to regulate appeals in criminal prose-
cutions. The bill was vigorously op-
posed by nearly all the democrats and
several prominent republicans, and
it's passage is a high testimonial to
Mr.. Nelson's skill in the management
of legislation. By this act, for the
first time in the history of federal
practice, the government is given the
right of appeal and prosecution OF
writs of error to the highest court in
the land on all questions of law which
may arise in the prosecution of Grim
inal cases. -,

Frank Eddy thinks he could do a
whole lot with that 81, 100000 asked
for by the State Fair association for
a semi-centennial celebration. Frank
is inclined to believe that the Fair as
ISOLATION will get what it wants from
the legislature, as cit will onlv mean
a small sum to each person and it will
mean a harvest of dollars for the
transportation companies and a six
months carnival of bargains for the
twin cities, and that for six months
country business men will sit on dry
goods boxes and pick their teeth with
a splinter and watch people take the
trains for st. Paul and MINNEAPOLIS.
That is all. God made the country
and man made the cities.' It is up to
the Lord to take care of what He has
created, but man-made institutions
must be fostered.'

Last week a horde of women suf-
fragists again invaded the English
houses of parliament and succeeded in
removing several handfuls of whis-
kers from the lawmakers before the
police were able to drag them from
the halls. By hook or by crook they
swore that they would secure woman
suffrage. The fact that fifty of them
were arraigned before a magistrate
and, rather than pay fines, decided to
undergo the alternative of a month IS
Imprisonment apiece, showed that it
was immaterial to them what sort of
suffrage they obtained.

Undoubtedly the St. Paul News h

Undoubtedly the St. Paul News has
taken the exact measurement of some
men holding public positions in this
state. Listen to it: cit is considered
smart thing by the peanut poll
ticians of many states to denounce the
railroads and other powerful corpora
tions and thus curry favor with the
people, who are expected to elect the
noisiest foe of capital to some Office
where maybe he can become capital
ist himself. But futile tricks to draw
the applause of the gallery and Sc
cretly advance the political ambitions
of an individual should not be al
lowed to mask in the garments of real
endeavors to get at the heart of the
evilS.''

STATE ROAD FUNDS.

A schedule has been prepared by the
State Highway commission for the
distribution of the state road and
bridge fund, amounting to 100000,
among the several counties of the
state, and through the courtesy of
Commissioner J. B. Galarneault of
Aitkin the writer was permitted to ex-
anime the same. The division of the
fund is based on the property valua-
tion and the number of miles of road
in each county. The big counties of
Hennepin, Ramsey and St. Louis are
given the three per cent limit allowed
by law, 81, 300 each, and the bulk of
the fund is distributed among the rich
and populous counties of the southern
and central part of the state, while
the sparsely settled counties of north
ern Minnesota receive pittances rang
ing from three hundred to five or six
hundred dollars. In other words the
counties that need state aid most in
the construction of highways receive
the least. There will be another meet
ing of the commission before the final
distribution is determined upon and
Mr.. Galarneault will endeavor to
have justice done the northern coun-
ties.
The constitutional amendment (sec.
16, art. 9 of the constitution and the
law based on that constitutional
amendment (chap. 1853, general laws of
1905) are both a delusion and a snare.
It is the imperative duty of the pres
ent legislature to submit new amend
ment to the constitution to take the
place of sec. Is, art. 9. There should
be no restrictions imposed. Make it
a "wide open" amendment and give
the legislature a free hand to enact a
common sense practical law.

Edward Higgins, vice president oil
the Armor Grain company and a
member of the Chicago board OF
trade, has retired from business upon
the unique ground that he has accumu-
lated sufficient money. Mr.. Higgins
is forty-fve years of age and is worth
SIS, 100000. Instances are very rare
where men who are gathering in shek-
els by the barrel, as was Mr.. Higgins,
retire from business for the reason
which he sets forth. Most million
aires pursue the dollar even unto the
time that they are gathered to their
fathers.

All this talk of the Great, Northern

). All this talk of the Great, Northern
company's stock being watered was
emphatically refuted by James j., Hill
upon his appearance before the house
railroad committee to oppose the
Rockne bill. In the course of his ex-
animation Mr.. Hill said: :.
If anybody says that the Great
Northern has a dollar of watered
Stock he bears false witness. It has
issued no bonds. and it never issued
stock that did not represent 100 cents
on the dollar.'
This should be sufficient, when taken
into consideration with Mr.. Hills rep
utation for veracity, to convince all
right-minded people that the Great
Northern Railway company's stock is
not watered.

It is absolutely necessary that there
should be some supervision other than
local of the financial affairs of school
districts and townships. In it's issue
of Jan. 10th the U n i O n brought this
matter to the attention of the legisla-
ture. The bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Case on this subject has not
been printed and we have been unable
to secure copy. We understand,
however, that the bill provides for an
examination of the books of each
township and school district treasurer
once year by deputy public examin-
ers, and the cost of such examination
-S5 per, day for the deputy and ex-
penses-will be borne by the county.
This would entail heavy expense on
each of the counties and necessitate
the employment of score or more of
new deputy examiners. Publicity
given the financial transactions of
each township and school district will
accomplish the same purpose at less
than half the expense. But we reserve
further comment until we have studied
the provisions of the bill.
