Why do the contracts for the new
buildings planned for the state uni
versity call for Bedford, Ind, lime
stone when an equally good grade of
the same variety of stone may be Sc
cured from the quarries of Kasota or
Mankato? 1t seems to us that Mime
sofa quarry owners have cause for
just complaint in this. matter. The
fact that Minnesota has. made it a
point to import stone for the erection
of it's public buildings is clear case
OF knocking itself knocking home
industries-and the practice should be
discontinued. So far as variety OF
building stone is concerned there is
no ,dearth in the state of Minnesota.
For instance, we have the varicolored
granite OF Ortonville and st. Cloud,
from which could have been built a
state capitol which for durability
would have largely outclassed the
crumbly Georgia marble selected for
the structure. And a capitol built
from this stone would not have pre-
sented within year or two after its
erection the appearance of a dirty,
discolored pile. Then there is the
Lake Superior stone and many other
varieties. 8

Ing such weather and got his lips wet
through smoking pipe or chewing he
would be apt to get into trouble. First
thing he knew he'd have his lips crack
ed, and they would be raw all winter
long.
''The regulars stationed at the mill
tary posts up in Alaska found that if
they tied tobacco leaf in their arm
pit previous to undesired duty they
would become very sick and could pass
the post surgeon for hospital, getting
rid of detail work they wanted to
avoid
'The miners up there learned some
thing of this and found that the tobac-
co craving could be satisfied by bind
ing a quantity of the leaf either in the
armpit or against the solar plexus.
This avoided broken and bleeding lips
during the winter, and they weren't
prevented from smoking indoors as
well if they wanted to. 1t was the out

What more can the friends Of county
option reasonably expect? County
option is not the only question Of i'm
portance that will come before. the
legislature.
Mr.. Dunn was not our first choice
for speaker, but we believe he will be
fair to all interests, that he will not
be controlled by any man or corpora
ton and that he has the requisite
qualifications to make an ideal presid-
ing officer. Then, why prolong the
contest? Why should not the other
candidates for speaker acquiesce in the
inevitable and let Mr.. Dunn select
his committees and be ready to an
nounce the same at the opening of the
session? Let there be an innovation
established at the ensuing session.
Let the legislature get down to bust
ness at once, do it's work and
adjourn.
While the outcome of the district
caucuses held during the past two
weeks is on the whole satisfactory,
this thing of holding district caucuses
is all wrong-it promotes section
alism. It is practice that has come
into existence within the past fifteen
years-when Van SAINT was chosen
speaker and the sooner it is
abolished the better. The good old
plan of each of the parties holding
caucuses Immediately before the
commencement of the session would
prove more satisfactory-would tend
to eliminate sectionalism and do away
with band-wagon tactics.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, in
his annual report, says that the con-
sumers have no well-grounded com

not the farmer who is responsible for
the prices which the consumer has to
pay, but the fellow who buys the prod

LR-MINDED SOUTHERNERS.

FAlh-MlNDED SOUTHERNERS.
There are whole lot of fair-minded
editors in southern Minnesota who
are heartily in favor of the enactment
of an equitable apportionment law by
the incoming legislature, and among
the number is Sam Langum of the
Preston Times, as witness his manly
utterance: '>'~.- d ., ..* r.,
The Times hopes that our. members
will join hands with those from the
north and pass reapportionment
bill, based on fairness to all sections
of the state, indeed, there seems to be
no other way as Gov. Eberhart mas
already signifed his intention of
calling an extra session for this
special purpose if the legislature fails
to do its plain duty. j.
Hon. H. II. Dunn of Albert Lea,
who in all probability will WELD the
speakers gavel in the house, has
boldly announced that he is for re-
apportionment and that every section
OF the state must be given a square
deal in the matter of representation in
the law-making bodies. The repre-
sentatives of private interests will
think twice before they attempt to
prevent or delay the enactment of a
just apportionment law.
