He Prefers Her Friend.
rye Doom:

Dear Margery Doom.
am a girl of 16 and very much in
love with a young man of 20. He was
splendid to me until about two weeks
ago. when l introduced him to a girl
friend. Since then he is always with
her and hardly notices me. Please tell
me what to do to win him back again.
I have never done anything to make
him angry. HEART-BROKEN.
If he treats you rudely you should
certainly have nothing more to do with
him. Besides, you are too young to
bother your head about young men and
love. Let them alone for several years,
and some day, when the right man
comes along. you will be glad you
waited.

Senator Robertson of Rawlins was
absent from the floor in the judiciary
committee when this bill was consid-
cred, but when the measure came up
for third reading and passage this
morning, he moved that parochial
schools be eliminated from the act on
the ground that the Catholic schools
were not supported by any public funds
and that the law ought not be made to
apply to such schools. Patrons of
parochiaI schools, he mentioned, pay
taxes for the support of the public
schools and the state ought not inter-
fere with the Catholic institutions as
proposed in the bill.
The senate consented to eliminate
parochial schools and the bill was
passed However. just prior to the
close of the morning session Senator
Lower secured a reconsideration of the
vote on the bill and urged that paro-
chial schools should be included in the
bill. Senator Robertson opposed the
proposition, but on roll call Senator
Lowers amendment to include paro-
chial schools carried by 81 to 10, bare
constitutional majority.
Senator Robertson also endeavored to
have parochial schools eliminated from
the truancy act, S. B. No. 108, but the
senate voted down his amendment.

delivered by the state senate while in
committee of the whole late Thursday
afternoon. The blow at personal lib

ton on the anti-Cigarette bill From the
standpoint of stringent and drastic leg
islation it is considered that the anti
cigarette act can give the absolute pro-
hibitory law cards and spades and lit
tie casino and still have points to
spare.
The senate judiciary committee in
reporting on Representative Edwards
bill No. 1876, recommended that the pres
ent Minnesota anti-cigarette law be
substituted for the house bill But the
senate in committee of the whole made
it even stronger than that. and rec
commended for passage the Edwards bill
additional section. As recommended
the bill makes it unlawful for any per-
son to sell or give away in the state
or to have in his store for sale or free
distribution any cigarettes or cigarette
papers. A fine of from $25 to 500 is
provided for violation of that provis-
ion. Also every minor person who shall
use cigarettes, cigars or tobacco in any
| form on roads, streets or in any public
place, shall be subject to a fine of not
more than $40. Any person who shall
furnish cigarettes, cigars or tobacco to
minor or permit a minor to indulge
in the weed on his premises shall be
subject to a fine of $50.
