cause of the deaths of Governor John

Good Roads Resolutions.
r. C. Dunn's good roads resolutions
went through flying. One asks a con-

appropriation at the next session of a
quarter of a mill tax and liberal leg
i~slative appropriations thereafter.
Better methods of procuring desir-
able immigrants for the unsettled
lands of the state are asked for in a
strong plank On that question.
Manual training, rural township
graded schools and the granting of
liberal appropriations for the carry
ing out of advanced methods in the
schools of the state are urged, along
with a proposition for the extension
of the agricultural school system.
The next legislature is asked to en-
act further suitable laws for the pro-
lection of laboring men and women in
accordance with the report of the en-
ployers' liability commission, which
will be made to it.

tional issues was not paramount to
the deliberations of the convention.
The great practical issue which con
fronted the Republican party of Min
nesota, he said, is the development
and conservation of the immense nat
ural resources of the state. Mayor
Keller insisted the party should be
committed to a just and fair reappor-

a policy to universally advertise the
mineral, industrial and agricultural
advantages Of Minnesota.

to the attention of the convention by
Captain Henry A. Castle, formerly a

J~udgeship Fight.
The ~judgeship fight started some
lively times in the convention hall.
The Iron Range country adherents of
Judge Homer B. Dibell of Duluth
took a firm stand for their candidate,
but were unable to pull him through.
Judge Lewis showed up strong on the
first ballot, but Judge Brown gained
so steadfaStly on the second that
many of the counties switched from
their former favoTites to him.
1t was long past 2 o'clock in the
afternoon when the delegates took
their seats after recess. The first
business transacted was the reception
of the report of the committee On
permanent organization which recon
mended that A. J. Rockne of Yum
brota be elected permanent chairman,
and the four temporary secretaries
made permanent. This was agreeable
to the convention and in a stirring
speech Mr.. Rockne predicted victory
for the party at the coming election.
1t was all business from that IN.
United States Marshal w. A. Grim
shaw of Minneapolis placed United
States Senator Moses e. Clapp in NOM
nation to succeed himself, and his
motion was seconded by Senator Sulli-
van of Washington county. Hugh T.
Halbert of Ramsey further seconded
the nomination on the ground that
Senator Clapp is an exponent of the
progressive spirit of the Republican
party" 1t went through with a rush.
Three Names by AccIamation.
Then came the judgeship fight. Mr..
Spooner of Stevens county named
Judges Edwin A. Jaggard and Alvin L.
Brown to succeed themselves, and
David T. Simpson of Minneapolis to
occupy the new place on the bench
after next January. The three nomi-
nations were made jointly by acclama-
ton. Henry F. Morgan of Freedom
county then nominated Judge Charles
L. Lewis to succeed himself and for
mer state Senator j. l.. Washburn of
Duluth nominated Judge Dibell. Philip
E. Brown was also nominated. On
the first ballot Brown received 352
votes, Lewis All and Dibell 800.
Judge Brown developed considerable
strength on the second ballot through
many of the northern counties drop
ping away from Dibell. The count
showed Judge Brown the nominee on
q vote of 367 for Lewis, 166 for Dibell
and 544 for Brown, with 539 necessary
to a choice.
The real excitement of the day
started, not Unexpectedly, when ex-
Congressman Frank NJ. Eddy, chair
man of the committee on resolutions,
announced that his report was. ready.
The tension had been high all day in
expectation of a lively scrap over the
county option proposition and when
the chairman had concluded reading
the majority report everybody felt re-
lieved that the fight was on.
AS soon as Mr.. Eddy had finished

SAM JONES AND TOBACCO
He Smoked a Short Stem Pipe
On Train
A Further Discussion Of the Methodist
General Conference With Reference
to the Use of Tobacco by Ministers.

To the Editor: Your editorial this
morning. Can Use Tobacco in
which YOU quote Sam Jones as saying
"A Christian can use tobacco, but he
will be a mighty dirty Christian" and
in which YOU add, Sam didn't love
tobacco. Probably if he had been a
smoker etc. The saying quoted
sound like San Jones, l do not doubt
his having said so. | simply wish to
correct that part of your remarks,
Sam didn't love tobacco Some years
ago. Immediately after Mr.. Jones spoke
in kinston, n. c., at which time he
told the kinstOnians they were not as
good as the Go1dsboronians. [ board

conversation and he introduced him.
self to me as Sam Jones. And / know
ing Kinston people well, we naturally
talked Of his speech. etc, there. 1
have never doubted it was the real
Sam Jones. Nor have I ever forgot
ten the only unpleasant tto me- thing
a about him, and that was his smoking
a short stem pipe which he look un-
caSed from his pocket. | have no de-
sire to m~lSrepresent him, for ! ad-
mired him. and yet think of him as
q great and good man, but simply Of
fer you the correction. There must
be plenty of others who remember him
as a user Of the weed.
Since the matter is under discussion
/ would like to say about the action of
the Methodist Conference upon the
subject.that | think it would have been
better to have left the question I'M
touched, than taken the action it has.
The effort to have it discontinued is
proof that 1t is regarded as an evil.
The action of the Conference in allow
ing It's members to continue using it,
but recommending abstinence to the
young men entering the ministry, to
say the least Of it, is not very con-
slstent. You idea, the use OF tObac-
co in moderation is a matter for every
mar to settle for himself. n no rule
should be enacted by any church
about the matter" could as well be ap-
piled to dancing. to drinking. 1t is
the argument of the so-called mod
crate drinker. to card playing, base
ballIng, and it's SeQuelS, etc, so on ad
infinitum. And right here is where
the danger lies. in that in it a man
can preach, can be a emb of the
church and "settle for himself'
whether he can follow practices that
despoil his body-the temple of the
living God-then the church is not the
criterion it should be. 1t must be
either for me or against me; it cannot
serve two masters. etc.
If the using of tobacco makes for
better things in a general way or any
way, why then the Conference did
right; its action As to those to here
after enter the ministry looks like it
had it's doubts.
Pardon me, l remember you do not
use tobacco and further discussion
might nauseate YOU. With high re-
gard, ! remain.
