YOUR WIFE's BRIDGE PARTY.
How to Act When You Unexpectedly
BIunder In Upon II.

1t is inevitable that just once in
your life you viii make the mistake
of coming home early on an after
noon when your wife is entertaining
a bridge party. Therefore it is i'm
portant that you should know how
to act on that occasion.
When it dawns upon you that
you have blundered into a bridge
party do not stand just inside the
door twiddling your thumbs and
looking embarrassed. Any show of
embarrassment will prove what
your wife has so often said-that
the children get their gawkish tend
encies from their fathers side of
the house.
Say Hello, girlsp' as you care
lessly toss your hat into a corner.
This greeting will please your wife's
elderly guests and will make the
younger ones admire your nerve.
While your wife is still gasping her
admiration hang your coat on the
hatrack, put your collar and tie on
the mantel and as you loosen the
neckband Of your shirt and kick off
your shoes ask her where your slip
pers are. A wife is always proud to
be able to help her husband.
Above all-and this is very i'm
portant-do not 60 away and hide
yourself in an upstairs room. When
you have been to your den and have
filled and lighted your oldest and
nuttiest pipe, come downstairs and
mingle with your wife's guests. Crit
icise the plays made by the various
contestants. Occasionally chuckle
and say "Great Scottp when your
wife makes a questionable play.
If at supper time the party is
still absorbed in the game and the
children are sitting in a row on the
kitchen steps crying for bread do
not spoil your wife's play by telling
her about it or by throwing out
hints which probably she is too en-
crossed to notice. The tactful way
to attract her attention is to burn a
smudge in the attic-a few old rags
in brazier will smoke splendidly-
then turn in fire alarm and go
downtown.
Later don't forget to send your
wife a telegram to the effect that
you have been called out of town on
business and will not be back for a
week. Chicago News.

Politics il not q personal matter
Those who let it interfere with their

make grievous mistake Very for

Opinions must, will and should

differences of opinion, especially in
politics, to build walls about them,
or to shoot poisoned arrows, they
are doomed to harvest Of sadness
and pessimism. A man does not

Next Tuesday will be primary

though not in relation to the prim-
aries. that, the people conserve
their common sense"

tial to the average man, as to the
candidates, and any man worthy to
be a candidate, can still earn a living
even if defeated for Office. The
world will go on its way as usual
after next Tuesday and even after
the general election.
It is mighty good thing to keep
that sense of proportion. commonly
known as a leyel head, which en-
ables a man to laugh after defeat
and forget it. There is, and should
be. nothing personal in our elections.

Since the announcement Of the
positive declination of John Lind to
become the Democratic candidate
for governor, speculation has been
rife as to whom that party would
name to take the forlorn hope of
Democratic nomination. A number
of the prominent men of Democratic
faith among them Congressman
Hammond and Judge Stanton are
said to have given a prompt and
decisive negative to suggestions of
their making the sacrifice. Thurs
day the Pioneer Press came out with
the definite statement that the Dem
ocratic leaders had picked Editor
James Gray of the Evening Journal
as the Moses to lead them into the
promised land. The choice is not a
bad one from a personal point of
view, since Mr.. Gray has been found
popular enough to be elected mayor
of Minneapolis and to creditably
serve in that capacity. But it is
Mr.. Gray's work as editor which is
most likely to bring out large COM
plimentary vote at the coming elec-
ton. Like the late Gov. John A.
Johnson, the nominee is an able
editorial writer and his career so far
is almost wholly in that capacity.
If The Journal has represented his
views, he is naturally county OPP
tion man. and this may explain the
statement that John Lind has offered
to take the stump for Mr.. Gray,
since Lind is openly hostile to the
brewery trust. The new Democrat
ic gubernatorial possibility is at
least candidate who would have
the respect of a large class of voters
and who would strategically take
the place ofsLindito some extent by
his ability to carry a heavy vote in
Hennepin county. Looks like a real
scrap next November.

LYING TAX ASSESSMENTS.

lying TAX ASSESSMENTS.
| The Gazette takes pleasure in pub
| fishing the communication of Secre-
tary of State J. A. Schmahl, printed
elsewhere, not only because it is OF
material importance to every tax
payer of Redwood county, but
because it demonstrates in an uncon-
troyertible way, the rottenness and
disregard of law which pervades our
tax system.
This year Redwood county asses
SCISSORS were prevailed upon to fol-
low the law faithfully and literally,
which most of them did, only to be
roasted and reviled for doing their
sworn duty. We are glad that they
took the action they did, since it
brings to light the rank evasion of
the law which prevails all over the
state, as shown most convincingly
by Mr.. SchmahPs letter. Since the
law as it stands is rankly and openly
disregarded, we see no better course
for the legislature to pursue until
such time as our assessment can be
done in business-like way by a
state commission of assessment
which will personally and disinter-
estedly equaIize assessments for all
precincts than to provide for a so
perl cent. valuation instead of for
fair total valuation as at present,
which no county except Redwood
seems to have made any attempt to
secure. In the name of common
sense as we'll as common honesty,
there seems to be no justification for
the kind Of assessment which Mr..
Schmahl has called to our attention.
More than any other conservation,
there seems to be a demand for the
conservation of public honesty, not
ably in the matter of making an
honest return of property valuations.
In this connection, We hardly need
remind our readers that Redwood
county has watchful friend at the
state capital in Mr.. Schmahl, who is
simply following out his policy of
taking nothing for granted where
the peoples interests are concerned.
Redwood county taxpayers are not
likely to overlook this fact in their
estimate of Mr.. Schmahl's public
services. julius may err in judg-
ment in political matters, but it is
almost invariably because of his
strong sense of loyalty to personal
friends, which is a kind of weakness
the world is quick to condone. No
man in his position has made bet
ter record in conserving the rights
of the common taxpayer.

The San Francisco Chronicle pub
fishes the following editorial para
graph:
Hawaiian politics are rarely
quiet The reason is that the
great majority of votes are cast
by the aborigines, who have no
object in politics but graft. On
the other hand, the little minority
of whites own 80 per cent of the
taxable property, which would
suffer from graft, and they must
defend it. The result is either
a political row, the beginning of
one or the ending of one in way
to propagate another.

for the best guess as to the origin OF
this bit of comment.

British jurisprudence has often been
held up as an example of precise and
speedy justice administered, at small
est cost, for American law reformers
to follow. The fact in question has
been generally admitted, though Anne
rican national pride has properly been
salved by reference to the gross in
equalities of British law as admins
tered in the minor courts of the King
dom. British judicial prestige has a
collateral influence, at all events in
practically all countries. Thus it was
the censorious comment of English
writer's, above all others, upon the
Steinheil trial in Paris which induced
the Minister of Justice of France with
in few days to direct a radical change
in the methods of criminal trials in
that country.
However, all is not typically British
that is under the Union Jack. Canada
for instance has always been develop
ing on new world lines-in some
things for better and perhaps not
quite so in others. Her decimal cur
rency, forms of spelling, manners OF
speech and behavior, etc, have long
been closely assimilated to Yankee
models-in antipodeal comparison
with the awfully English habits OF
the Australian people,
All this leads up to story orally
related to one of the most brilliant
lights of the Honolulu bar the other
day, who upon hearing it begged that
it might be set down in print in Satur-
days Star. He would like to put it in
his scrapbook. It is the strange story
of John Dillon, a homicide now do
ing hard labor in st. Vincent de Paul
penitentiary, Quebec, under commuta-
ton of death sentence for murder to
life servitude.
John Dillon was a book agent in the
city of Montreal, known as a rather
eccentric fellow. One day hurry
call for the police was sent from his
lodgings as he was threatening or
had already committed violence-the
narrator forgets which-upon folks in
the house. Dillon swore he would not
be taken alive and when a posse OF
police besieged the house he blazea
at them with a gun from a window,
killing at least one officer and wound
ing others before he was captured by
strategy His trial for murder came
on in due course. For defense in
sanity was pleaded. Alienists were
called on the stand, who answered the
hypothetical rigamaroles put to them.
Dillon was convicted of willful MUIR
der. He was sentenced to be hang
ed. Executive clemency on his be-
half was solicited on the ground that
notwithstanding the verdict he was
mentally irresponsible when he shot VI
the police. No less than two COM
missions were sent to England to in
