into many thousands.
This year the travel by boat and

The following in regard to the veto
OF the tonnage tax is taken from the
Princeton Union, published by R. G..
Dunn. who opposed Gov. johnson as a
candidate at the time of his first cleo
tion as governor: ''Ail honor to
Governor johnson for his brave action
IN vetoing the tonnage tax bill. True,
in exercising the veto power conferred
upon him by the constitution he slmp-
ly performed his plain duty Had he
done less he would haye been recreant
to his oath of Office. Nevertheless he
is entitled to great praise for his
courage in refusing to give his assent
to a measure that had been demanded
10y his party In its platform. a
measure that ne himself had formerly
indirectly advocated. when he became
convinced that the measure in ques-
tion was wrong IN principle anu
would injurlously affect the material
interests of thousands OF his fellow
citizens in Northeastern Minnesota.
Governor johnson has demonstrated
that he IS big enough to rise above
party. that he mental vision is not
obscured by sectional lines and that
he can consider legislation from a
state wide view point. There may be
some who will condemn the governor s
action, small-souled Individuals who
Will accuse him OF being actuated by
sinister motives, but time will justify
his course and in the meantime he
will not lack for defenders.
The Union has criticised many of
Governor Johnson's utterances and
official acts in the east and dOutbtless
will in the future, but we meant what
we said when we wired him this
message on Tuesday noon: AS a
citizen OF Minnesota, with all my
heart I congratulate you on your brave
action.
"Whlle demagOgues may denounce
the governor he has made for himself
thousands of new friends in North
eastern Minnesota who are not of the
kind"

Wide Wandering Sand.

From Harper's Weekly.
The travels of grains of sand have long
been a matter of scientific record. Years
ago 1t was established that particles
picked up on the coasts oe Pas de Calais
had their origin In the rocks of Brittany.
from 12O to $50 miles distant. Another
standard fact is the discovery on the
coast of Denmark of chalk dust which
undoubtedly came from the cliffs OF Nor
mandy.
Prof. Thoulet, the French oceanogra-
pher, has determined the precise manner
in which these particles travel such great
distances. He finds that the result Is due
entirely to the action of waves and tides,
causing the particles of sand to pursue q
zigzag course. which he likens to the
teeth Of a saw. and having in the channel
and the North sea a general direction
rom the west.
NJ. Thoulet calculates that each grain
travels at least eight thousand yards UP
and down the beach under the impulse of
the incoming and retreating waves for
each yard that 1t is conveyed parallel
with the coast line. On an average about
fifteen waves q minute strike the beach.
and these cause a lateral movement of
about one centimeter, or one-tenth of an
inch which, however. is apt to be COM
stantly reversed by winds, currents and
distractions. Thus. allowing something
for the influence of the wind when the
sand is dry, the sand from Brittany
found along the Pas de Calais strand
must have travelled something like a mill
lion miles to reach threre.

Crime as a Profession.
From the Strand Magazine.

Crime in general. I would here say, is
diminishing, but professional crime is on
the increase. and it is this kind of crime
which is the most serious danger to the
community. as we'll as the severest tax
upon the police administration.
The comparatively small band of known
criminals who are responsible for almost
all the serious crimes against properly
live well. They can name their favorite
wine md they know good cigar. A trip
to Brighton is an ordinary incident in
their easy lives, and a winter visit to
Monte Carlo Is nothing uncommon. They
are responsible for the elaborate frauds
and great forger es and jewel larcenies
and bank robberies which now and then
st rifle the public.
In fact, the professional is a man who
takes good care of himself. He is no
out-at-elbow petty thief. He does not
work on foggy nights or during prolonged
frosts AS a matter of fact, fog causes
no anxiety to the criminal investigation
department, and burglary epidemic. like
fever epidemic, fiourishes in mild
weather.
l know this upsets popular notion,
but it is true all the same. Professional
crime is organized crime. and all organic
ing involves time. Now, professional
men, even burgl rs. do not care to be
abroad at night when the thermometer is
approximating polar temperature.
