May Go Over to Short Session.

1t is the same committee that is in
vestigating Lor1mer, and as precedent
is powerful in the body these former
cases give q clear line on the probable
action on his own. It is hardly to be
expected that any conclusion can be
reached during the present session.
Several members of the committee on
privileges and elections are candidates
in this years campaign, so that the
probable course is the appointment of
a subcommittee composed of holdover
senators who will sit during the recess
either In Washington or in Illinois and
report their findings to the full COM
mittee at the meeting in December.
One effect of the Lorimer exposures
has been a revival Of the argument for
popular election Of senators. The fact
that former Senator Hopkins had re-
ceived a plurality in the Republican
state primaries has lent force to the
contention. 1t is not without interest
and encouragement - that seventy
members Of the majority party In the
legislature felt themselves bound by
this popular mandate ana stuck by
Hopkins to the end.

VALUE OF GOOD COWS.

Superintendent Frank L. Randall
of the state reformatory is certain
that it pays to have the best type of
dairy COWS. The reformatory has
been paying strict attention to the
quality of its COWS. and tests cover
ing series of years have been made
and are kept on file. Scientific breed
ing has been a part of the plan, the
heifers from the best COWS and sires
having been kept, and the result up
to this time is certainly significant.
By careful and continuous tests it has
been demonstrated that as much
butter is now produced from 45 cows
in the reformatory dairy herd, as
formerly secured from So COWS. 1t
should be remembered that the So
COWS were much superior to the aver
age COW. having been purchased with
great care, and with these as a work
ing basis, the quality of the herd for
butter making qualities has been
steadily improved, through selection
and breeding. The result is that
third less cows now produce as much
butter fat as did the former herd-a
saving of the care and cost of keep of
nearly twenty COWS. That is GER
tainly worth while. If the same
methods were observed by the farmers
of Minnesota-ju think what it
would mean in dollars and cents-an
increase of one third the entire butter
production of the state. and this at no
extra cost or labor. to say nothing of
the increased value of the COWS.
And there is not a farmer in Mime
sofa who cannot secure just as great
improvement in his cows. as has the
St. Cloud reformatory, by using the
same intelligent methods. st. Cloud

PRINCIPLE FIRST, THEN
PARTY.

At political meeting in Mime
apolis a few days ago one of the
speakers urged the Importance of
maintaining party organization.
''There are three things you must
hold on to, - he said first. perman-
ency; second, principle; third,
numerical strength. " Later he added !:
"In regard to principle, don't rush
against the breakers with false ideas.
Take conditions as they are. - 1t may
be worth while to add that the purpose
of the meeting was Ito interest and
educate young men in better and
cleaner politics, - However admir-
able this purpose may be, it is scarcely
to be accomplished by assigning prin-
ciple to a second place. That is the
great trouble with Minnesota politics.
Parties have begun by making prin-
cipIes of minor Importance and are in
a fair way of ending by abandoning
them altogether. Then they complain
that people take no interest in politics
and attribute the decadence of party
spirit to defective primary laws. The
real trouble is that in the absence of
vital and living principle to hold par
ties together combination of office
seekers and special interests have as
sumed control of the party machinery
and are trying to use it to serve their
own ends. Loyalty to party under
such circumstances is not to be ex-
pected from an intelligent electorate
and. in the interest of good govern
ment, scarcely to be desired
