I'll MONUMENTO Al mo. BOTUIPH.

Haee tempo que fu6 iniciado
un moyimiento que tiene por oh
leto levantar un monumento en-
conmemOraci6n del Hermauo
Botulph. que por treinta v tres
amos fu6 presidente del CoIegio
de San Miguel, Y de los primeros
Hermanos de las Escuelas Girls.
tiauos que fueron los fundadores
de dicha institution. 4 estos dIti.
mos corresponds el honor y glo-
ria de haber hecho fundaci0n tan
1til Y tan esclarecida, a'paso que
al primero So le debe el no menos
grande honor de haber resiviii-
cado y dado nueva vida Y pros
peridad al colegio cuando este Sc
encontraba en- estado de menos-
cabo y postracion Para los f.
nes de dicho monumento Sc ha
reunido ya una suma POGO con.
siderable pero que eonstituye un
buen comienzo para 10 que pue.
da recaudarse mas adelante. No
creemos que los que tienen q su
cargo la empresa Sc conformen
con la cantidad reunida hasta
aqul, porque con ella el monu4
mento que Sc podria erigir seria
demasiado modesto para los
meritos y seryicios de aquellos 4
quien sc propone honrar. por
tai motive opinamos que no de.
ben desistir en su esfuprzo hasta
que Sc haya reunido la suma que
el caso requiere 4 fin de poder le.
vantar una obra digna del asuu.
to de que Sc trata. Hay miles
de OK alumnos del Colegio v de
personals que simpatizan con sus
fines, y muchos de ellos Sc pres.
taran gustasos 4 contnbuir, ca.
da uno Ell su tanto hasta que Sc
reunan los fondos necesarios.

THE Catholic churches through
out the land have taken up fight
against Socialism among their
members and talks are being made
from the pulpits against this belief.
This procedure is said to be &C
cording to instructions from the
pope, who recognizes in the teach
ings of this cult a menace to the
laws of the land, God and establish
ed customs. AT one time the
American Socialist was a believer
in change by means of the ballot
and the party was one of politics.
Since the kicked out riff raft of for
eign countries have become aff1ili-
ated with the party and the teach
ings have become Anarchistic, de-
cent society has nothing in COM
mon with the breed. Red hagism
and decency do not go hand IN
hand.

Twin Troubles.

The other woman's burden always
looks lighter than her own to Mrs.
Trouble-in-Hand and to Mrs. Ditto.
They occupy different social positions,
but their woes are similar. Mrs. Trou-
BILE has one maid, and can never "en-
terrain" or give her husband his favor
lite pie, because zone pair of hands
can't do everything" Mrs. Ditto has
six servants, and declares herself dis
tracted by their quarrels and wasteful-
ness, and ashamed to invite guest to
one Of her helter-skelter meals. Mrs.
Trouble thinks herself martyr be-
cause she must stay at home. Mrs.
Ditto fretfully complains that her hus-
bands health compels her to travel.
Mrs. Ditto finds her church work far
too heavy for her strength, and Mrs.
Trouble is sure that her minister looks
down on her, because he never asks
her to do anything. Finally, even in
the shadow of death, Mrs. Trouble has
no time to indulge her grief, and Mrs.
Ditto has no other interests to distract
her mind from hers. So, says the
Youths Companion, if we observe this
queer, varied world in which we live,
we learn to appreciate Millions pro-
found truth:
The mind is it's own place, and in it.

st. Paul, Mimi, March 15.-By a
vote of 26 to Is the senate today re-
fused to adopt the Works resolution.
The resolution demanded that in view
of abuse and Misrepresentation prac-
ticed through the suspension of rules
that from now on the rules shall not
be suspended for the passage of any
bill.
Senator J. f. Calhoun of Minneap-
oils today revived the legislative sal
airy bill which the senate on Saturday
indefinitely postponed. His motion
for reconsideration prevailed. This
is the bill which aims to permit the
lawmakers to draw their salary of
$1,000 each the legislative session
year, instead of $500 each year. The
senate today also passed the house
bill appropriating $4,000 additional
for legislative expenses.
The senate decided to consider the
eastman distance tariff bill as a spe-
cial order next Friday.
BY the decisive vote of 73 to 81 the
house today refused to reconsider its
vote whereby it recently indefinitely
postponed the so-called "12 o'clock
lid bill, which aimed to permit sa-
looms in the three large cities of the
state to remain open till midnight.
R. J. Wells, who made the motion
for indefinite postponement the other
day, was the member to move for re-
consideration. He stated he was &C.
tuated in so doing by numerous let
ters and petitions from leading men
Of Duluth Minneapolis and st. Paul.
He presented petitions and several
hundred letters from wholesalers,
| merchants, business men and city Of
ficials. A petition from Duluth bore
| the names of so leading business men
and citizens, including Mayor r. D.
Haven, Comptroller w. G. McCor-
mick, Sheriff w. ]. Bates and Post
master Guy A. Eaton, all favoring the
"12 o'clock lid"
The bill was discussed at length,
and was voted down, even Wells, who
made the motion for reconsideration
because of his petitioners, voting
against them and for his own con-
victions.
A. K. Ware Of Mortified today in
| troduced two bills on referendum
| basis. One proposed submission to
| the voters of the question as to
whether the primary system should
not be abolished, and the second, sub
mission of whether the primary sys-
TEN should be extended to nomina-
| ton of state officers.
This afternoon the legislature took
a special Northern Pacific train and
visited the proposed site for the new
Armour packing plant at New Brigh-
ton. A delegation from the Minneap-
| oils Commercial Club was on hand to
| tell the lawmakers they should kill
the Rowe bill which aims to prohibit
the plant, and delegation from the
ST. Paul Commercial Club was busy
| explaining that the plant would be
the ruination of st. Paul's midway
'asidenca district.
