incidently. by the gentle voice Of the
brewing interests leads him to sus-
pect that with the publication Of his
opinion, reapportionment at the pre-
sent session will be dead issue and
that, should it pass two years from
now, it will be taken to the supreme
court where, Of course, 1T would be
declared unconstitutional.
If reapportionment is not obtain
ed at the present session, it cannot
legally be voted on again before the
state census Of 1915.
These are some of the reasons why
Northern Minnesota should continue
to- be keenly alert and keep her eyes
on the marble palace at ST. Paul,
forcing victory from none too
friendly legislature or at least, that
part of the legislature which goes
to makeup the Senate.
Fortunately, Northern Minnesota
has a friend at court who is chairman
of the, Appropriations Committee, L.
c.; Spooner ofrMorris.
Mr.. .Spooner says to the Senate:
"You have got, to- vote a respectable
eapportionment~ bill" ~
This sort of statement from the
watch dog of the treasurer means
good deal. The Senate has to
have money. The House can keep it
from getting it, This ought to fetch
'em.

ney general will have to do some tall
explaining to show the North where:

A Question of Right.

Reapportionment based on popula-
ton regardless Of any other condi-
lions is what the fair minded people
of Minnesota are demanding of the
legislature of Minnesota. If, bill
is not passed by this session the gov
ernor will call an extra session for
that express purpose, if the opinion
of those near him is worth anything
and he will be upheld in so doing.

AN INs.DI0us FOE.

Northern Minnesota has the fight
of her life on her hands in the strug-
gle for a decent reapportionment.
She has fought the fight with all
the zeal and fire and enthusiasm of
those patriots who refused to suffer
outrages at the hands of a tyrant
across the waters who sought taxa
ton without representation.
The North has met foes in the open
and has conquered or. been conquer
ed in fair fight. The struggle has
been carried on under the banners
of hundreds of thousands of home
seekers who have come to our fer
tile fields, our valued forests and ore
dotted regions.
We have been led to believe that
when the present Legislature conven-
ed an honest, fair-minded body of
lawmakers would insist on adding
legislative representation to the
North, at least somewhere within
the keeping with the growth of this
part of the state.
The Pioneer does not say that this
will not be done but it does say that
as insidious an attack on this pro-
gram as could be imagined is being
perpetrated with no less parsonage
than our eminent attorney general
in the spot light as the villain in the
drama.
The attorney general is from Wi
mona and reapportionment is the last
thing in the world that Winona
with her losing population, wants.
The attorney is out with an opin-
ion to the effect that reapportion-
ment can be made at any session of
the Legislature.
We are not inclined to credit the
attorney general with an over abun-
dance of gray matter but we believe
that he knew that in the test such
an opinion would not stand and there
certainly is no question but that the
supreme court would be guided by
the constitution even if our attorney
general, for subtle reasons, is not.
The constitution provides as clear
ly as English words can make it
that the legislature has power to re-
apportion only after a state or feder-
al census. ..
Mr.. Simpsons opinion appears to
be very lame attempt to deceive the
present Legislature, the governor and
the people at large into the belief
that the next session of the Legisla-
ture can act on the matter with the
same authority as the present ses-
sion. ...,sI.. r.. ....- s ~ q ~.

It is dangerous to health and even
to life in a damp, moldy house or one

on diphtheria traced the disease in

Question Before the Supreme Court Of
the United States Is Whether Com.
pers, Mitchell and Morrison Violated
a Valid Injunction, for Which They
Are Under Sentence Of Six to Nine
Months in Jail.
Washington, Jan. 28.-One OF the
most spectacular legal battles ever
waged between capital and organized
labor reached it's final stage when the
supreme court of the United States
took up for oral argument the famous
litigation by the Buck Stove and
Range company of St. Louis against
the American Federation of Labor.
The contending forces started their
fight to determine the legality Of the
boycott. . That was in the supreme
court of the District of Columbia. But
when the contest was renewed before
the supreme court of the United
States the main issue had been crowd
ed out of the limelight by an In
cidental one. Now, the issue is wheth-
er the principal officials of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor are to go to
jail on charges of contempt of court.
Because they failed to obey the in
junction issued by the district supreme
court in the original, case, Samuel
Gompers, president of the Federation,
is under sentence to serve twelve
months in jail; John Mitchell, vice
president of the Federation, to serve
nine months, and Frank Morrison, it's
secretary, to serve six months

NEW RIBBONS FOR MILLINERY
They Are Very Wide and Soft, De
signed for the Making of Hat
Bows.

The new millinery ribbons are enor-
mously wide and soft. for bows made
of taffeta are really smarter than rib
bon. and the ribbon makers have had
to get out special widths to please
the women who prefer to make big hat
bows OF conveniently finished ribbon
rather than hem and wire silk bows.
The graceful bows are arranged at
front. back or side of the hat, accord
ing to the requirement of its shape
or its wearer's fancy. The big bow
across the back is Indeniably youth
full and .girlish in suggestion, though
the bow in front is more becoming to
certain types of face. Trimming at
the side should only be worn by wom-
en- who can stand dashing and jaunty
effects.
Taffeta is the millinery silk par ex-
cellence just now. and the new colors
are delectable-soft gray reds called
raspberry and cyclamen, rich olive
and bronze green's; a sumptuous
American beauty rose and several
shades of the vivid geranium red
called coronation" There are two
tone silks with jacquard weaves
which make stunning bows. the velvet

the shades; out perhaps The most
beautiful OF all the new millinery silks
is the beau dor or gold skin. which is

HAIL DOES GREAT DAMAGE
Storm in Trempeleau and Vernon
Counties Disastrous 10 Crops
and Buildings.

Trempealeau. - The most terrific
hail storm ever known here did an
immense amount of damage to crops
and property. The north and west
sides of every building in town had
from five to twenty window glasses
shattered, the high school building
alone having fifty-ffve panes broken
creating a panic among the pupils
Actual measurements of some Of
the hail stones showed them to be
IA inches around and five picked up
at random weighed six pounds, The
damage done the city will exceed
$4,000 and in the surrounding coun-
try it is beyond computation, reach
ing up to many thousands. Corn,
barley and fruit trees suffered heay-
lily. Thousands of trees were fairly
stripped of their limbs, while much
poultry and small stock were killed.
The storm did much damage in
Vernon county, making worthless the
standing tobacco crop. About four
fifths of the acreage of that county
has already been harvested, but the
loss to growers will be from $50,9VO
to $4,000.
