Arc not our Democratic contem-
pOraries liable to be in contempt OF
Uncle Sam on their Folk and Stone
supplements The law says that sup
plements must be printed, or partly
printed, in the Office Of issue, but we
suppose the Republican sheets will
come in later with supplements Of the
same sort and even things up. The
postof1ce department red tape is so
red It is scarlet, and the decisions so
complicated that those who make
them know nothing Of what they
mean. Some time congress will pass
laws governing the postofice depart
ment, but until then, well-juss do as
you are told when you. are told, and
it may be you will be allowed to con-
tinue in business-but it is getting
mighty uncertain.

We have received q copy Of the
Boone County Citizen. published at
Columbia, by A. M. Parsons and
wife. It is said to be the first and
only Republican paper ever published
in that rock-ribbed Democratic coun-

il will work and live until Boone is
safely Republican, and then It will be
an easy stunt.

Speech From Record.
Washington, March 25.-By way of
"getting even" with the Republicans,
who, by a strict party vote, ordered
his speech of Saturday last expunged
from the Congressional Record, Mr..
sulzer of New York offered a resolu-
ton to strike out of the record the
speech of MI. Dalzell of Pennsylvania

also provided that as a substitute "the
speech actually delivered by the gen
tleman from Pennsylvania" be printed.
Loud Democratic applause and Re-
publican laughter greeted the reading
of the resolution.
Mr.. Sulzer declared that the speech
never was delivered. What happened,
he said, was that Mr.. Dalzell on March
is got up and asked permission to ex-
tend his remarks.
"What remarks?" he inquired.
"No remarks" he declared, answer
ing his own question.

RESULT OF RATE DECISION
Extra Session Of Minnesota Legisla-
ture Probable.

lure
St. Paul, March Ex-Governor John
A. Johnson will undoubtedly call a
special session of the Minnesota leg
islature to repass the rate bills which
were knocked out by the United
States supreme court with such
amendments as will make them &C.
ceptable to the court.
The governors action will depend
on fuller information as to, the grounds
of the decision of the court.
IF, however, it turns out that the
penalties imposed are the controlling
objection" said the governor, "the
matter can be remedied undoubtedly
and should be at once.
II can see no reason for waiting a
year for the regular session.
"The rate laws are estimated to
effect a saving of 100000 annually to
the people of Minnesota. The extra
session would cost but a very small
fraction of that sum-. Besides, the
legislature would have an opportunity
to consider the rate problem fully, un-
vexed by all the other problems of
state government which will confront
the regular session.
ITO await the regular session would
merely defer from ten months to a
year the accomplishment of rate re-
form, for no matter how good a law
we enact I have no doubt that either
the railroad oficials-or their share
ho1ders-wi11 contest IT. as long as
they can"
