CLUBS play far more important role in the

society is able to obedience to its ethics;
and nowhere is it needed than in those coun-

Nowadays almost every with any pretenson

the moment that a city youth passes the stage
of boyhood, his first is to secure admission to
good club. 1t is the membership of the latter that
determines more than anything else the social
classification of man about town, and to such
extent is this the that Europeans, and par

expulsion.
Indeed the rules of the leading English and
American clubs on this subject are very compre-
hensive Those for instance, of the old Garrick,
which of the longest established and assuredly
among the richest of London clubs, provide that,
" If any member in the opinion OF the committee IS
guilty of conduct unbecomng a gentleman, or
pre- judicial to the interests or good name OF the
club, it shall be in the power OF the committee to
for the expulsion being by majority OF two-thirds
of the committee
These rules apply to all the older, richer, and
first class clubs in England America, and most
of the capitals of Europe. And the result is that
the belonging thereto feel themselves sub
ject only to the jurisdiction but also to the
slant watchfulness of tribunals of whom they
themselves have helped to elect, and who have it
in their power to visit any infraction OF the social
code with either reprmand, temporary SUSPENSION
or expulsion, the latter general rule entailing
ostracsm by society.

an excellent moral restraint.
Keep Track of Their Morals

How strict all the older London clubs are in this
connection may be gathered from the fact that
bankruptcy, proceedings in bankruptcy,

ST. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 19-Can the
state of Minnesota afford to appro-
pirate $4,000 for the purchase of q
silver service for the new battleship
Minnesota? This question was de-
bated fer an hour in the senate this
morning, the subject coming up when
the bill of Senator J. F. Calhoun of
Minneapolis to purchase the silver
service, was considered in committee
of the whole. Ole o. Sageng of Otter
Tail objected to the whole PROPOSE
ton. Ole is the lone populist in the
legislature and has been objecting a
great deal of late to important repub-
ican measures. He though the ap-
preparation a waste of money. If
Minnesota must give silver service,
in his opinion, residents of the state
who are in the habit of using silver
service every day should chip in and
buy the stuff for the battleship; it
should not be showed on the poor tax
payers of the state.
Senator Calhoun objected. If the
legislature and people of this state
have grown so parsimonious," he
said, ''that their patriotism Is all
down in the cellar, then don't vote
for this bill. But I don't think they
have" The bill was finally referred
TO the finance committee to take
action on placing the money needed
on the general appropriation bill.
But one bill of much Importance
put in an appearance in the senate.
It was by Senator Oar Hall, and pro-
vides for the establishment of a state
hospital for criminal insane, to be To-
Gated by the state board of control
either at the state prison or in con-
nection with some state asylum. The
measure carries an appropriation of
b5O, 900.
This afternoon the Senate railroad
commission gave the railroad men a
final hearing on pending legislation
affecting the roads, then held an ex-
ecutive session after which the Peter
son anti-pass bill, prohibiting passes,
and the Peterson two cent railroad
bill were reported out for passage.
In the house today, the w. A..
Nolan reciprocal demurrage bill,
materially amended, was reported out
by the special committee of file hav-
ing it in hand, and made a special
order for consideration of the house
Wednesday afternoon. One of the
amendments provides that half of
the penalty demanded of roads for
failure to supply cars demanded, shall
be paid to the state instead of all of
it to the shipper who suffers. The
penalty is changed to comply with a
special schedule according to the
number of cars ordered by one party
and the length of time that party is
made to wait.
George w. Rodenburg of st. Paul
today introduced a bill providing for
a constitutional amendment to ex-
empt from taxation bonds of counties
school districts, towns and cities.
The house adopted resolution by
w. L. Case of Cloquet calling for an
investigation by a special committee
of the feasibility of adopting a plan
of indeterminate sentences for pun
ishment of crime in Minnesota.
