OPENLETTFR TO GOVERNOR EBERHART
ON THE EXTRA SESSION.

Governor A. O. Eberhart, St. Paul,
My Dear Governor: You must be
aware that an extra session Of the
legislature is being demanded. Do
not be misl1d into the belief that
this is ar artificial or political de-
mand. No, it comes from the people
and is being voiced by the Institution
closest to the people, the country
press. The city papers may oppose
it, but the city papers as YOU know,
Mr.. Governor, always have axes to
grind and doubtless have something
they wish sharpened now.
Is it not true that at Brainerd
year ago you tacitly promised to
call an extra session of the legisla-
ture if reapportionment bill were
not passed at the regular session?
Haze not the people and the
press a right to interpret youq'
Brainerd speech as a fiat and an
qualified promise to call an extra
session.

ADVERTISE REDWOOD FALLS.


If there is any site in the state
better adapted for city than Red
wood Falls some one has overlooked
a bet.
There is natural scenery superior
to anything in Minnesota. This may
not be of direct utilitarian value but
it has its influence.
It is in the heart of the richest
agricultural territory in the state.
A condition resulting from the
splendid soil and the high type of
men who are tilling it.
Neither in Renyille nor in Red
wood county is there town riyaling
it in size or volume of business. This
makes practically two entire coun-
ties tributary to Redwood Falls.
It has varied and important indus
tries. A canning factory, egg fact
DRY, creamery. -four mill, elevators,
stock yards, cement plants, the
finest garage in the state outside OF
the Twin cities, the best banks. the
best exclusive stores, library,
churches and schools. And better
than all else the best and cheapest
waterpower in the state.
Yet Redwood Falls is not growing
so rapidly as it should.
The answer is: The town is not
being Systematically and constantly
advertised.
If outsiders are to come here they
must be impressed with the adyan-
tage Of the place.
Is it not time some one got busy?
Wouldn't it be good bunch for
the Comm ercial Club to seriously
consider the advisability Of inauger-
ating an annual advertising system?

OUR DAILY BREAD

Give US our daily Breadl
God, the bread of strength
For we have learnt to know
How weak we are at length,
AS children we are weak.
AS children must be fed
Give US Thy Grace, 0 Lord,
To be our daily Bread.
Give US our daily Bread
The bitter brea of grief.
We sought earths poisoned feasts
For pleasure and relief;
We sought her deadly fruits.
But now, o God, instead,
We ask thy healing grief
To be our daily Bread.
Give us our daily Bread
To cheer our fainting soul;
To feast of comfort, Lord,
And peace, tolmake US whole;
For we are sick of tears,
The useless tears we she'd
Now give us comfort, Lord,
To be our daily Bread.
Give US our daily Bread.
The Bread of Angels, Lord.
BY US so many times.
Broken, betrayed. adored.
His body and His Blood:--
The feast that Jesus spread;
Give Him-our life, our all
To be our daily Bread

About That Extra Session.

Bob Dunn, speaking of the pro-
posed extra session for the purpose
of increasing the gross earnings tax,
pronounces against it, and says,
What is the use of it now? TIE
people will pay the increased taxes
in the long run anyway" Of course
they will always do that. In fact
they are already paying them to the
railroads in the increased passenger
rate, but the roads are not paying
the increase to the state. That is
what Speaker Dunn wants the extra
session to provide for Do you see
the point, Mr.. Bob?-Albert Lea
Times Enterprise.
The Bemidji Pioneer has come out
with demand that Governor Eber
hart call the legislature in special
session to act on a reappOrtlonment
bill, and quotes the governors prom
ise at the Brainerd meeting of the
Development association, as to the
calling of such in case a new reap
o )rtionment Of the state was not
made at the regular session. The
delegates to the December meeting
of the DEVELOPMENT association
which is to meet in St. Cloud will be
asked to pass resolutions calling ON
the governor to make good his
pledge. 1t is probable that the gov
ernor can hear the voice calling for
re-apportionment better than that
calling for a raise in the railroad
tax. Little Falls Herald.
If railroads are not paying their
just portion of taxes the Review
would favor the calling of an extra
session Of the legislature in order
that that matter might be remedied.
That should be the sole business of
such a session. nothing else should
be allowed to sidetrack that purpose
and sufficient time should be d 4vot-
ed to the subject so that it may be
thoroughly investigated and acted
upon intelligently If any other
consideration should enter into the
calling of such session the spirit of
equity and fairness would be lost
sigh. Of in the effort to see VINO
could strike the hardest blow at
those corporations and little good
would result. The people of Mime
sofa should not submit to injustice
and when they enter the fight to be
free they must do so with a con-
sciousness that they have right on
their side and govern their acts ac-
cordingly. No other course will
bring the results they are contend
/ ing for. -Mankato Review.
There are two especially vital rea-
sons why Governor Eberhart should
call an extra session Of the legisla-
ture this winter. Northern Mime
sofa is DESTROYS Of fair representa-
ton in the halls Of the lawmakers
! and there should be bill passed
without any delay giving our end OF
the state fair apportionment. An
increase in the rate of the railroad
gross earnings tax is another matter
that should be taken up at as early
date as possible. Influence on the
part of the people should be brought
to bear at this time. and that extra
session should be brought about
whether or not the interests" deem
liz expedient. Pine City Pine Poker.

BEHIND THE POLITICAL SCENES.

It does begin to lopk as though,
Internationally, there might be
something doing in this grand old
state next year.
Nearly every district in the state
has candidate or a near-candidate
Just pause in your mad scramble for
bit of coin and name over the am
bilious ones who have been suggest
ed as fitting material from which to
carve a real, live governor.
Eberhart, of course, and ditto
Sam Y. Gordon. Then follows:
Lindbergh, of the Sixth, Stephens
and Stanton of the Ninth, Volstead
of the Seventh, Anton Weiss of the
Eigth, Rockne Of the Third, Ham
mond and Pfaender Of the Second.
Milo Price of the First, Einar Hoi-
dale Of the Fifth, Sam Iyerson and
j. A. A. Burnquist of the Fourth.
Then there are Julius A. Schmahl.
Joseph r. Keefe and Sam G. Ander-
son all of the Seventh and probably
one or two not called to mind at
present.
In fact never in the history of the
state has there been such majestic
and hearty array Of Bark;ses. In
spite Of the imposing numbers the
fight. doubtless, will be between his
Excellency the present governor
and the honorable lieutenant COVER
nor. Sam. Y. Gordon.
The man who can think of any
one point in which these two astute
politicians resemble each other is
entitled to the prize bean.

Can you GUOT0, pOt1Jac0tty or
morally, to ignore that promise?
Is it any excuse to say you do not
believe fair reapportionment bill
can pass the present senate? You
must have been aware when you
made your Brainerd statement that
| the legislature you said you would
convene in extraordinary session
would be the one that had failed
to pass reappor tionment measure.
Mr.. Governor, the people are far
from being in a pleasant frame of
mind about this matter, are saying
some things which, probably. the
situation does not justify. They are
dragging the railroads and other al
lied interests into the question and
| it seems quite likely that these
statements unrefuted by you either
by word or act may not rebound to
your popularity.
We of the country realize that it
is only natural you should be more
profoundly impressed by the atti-
tude Of the St. Paul and Minneapolis
papers and leaders than by the coun-
try press and the farmers. But
once conscious of this condition
should you permit it to continue?
It's true: The country people
are demanding an extra session of
the legislature. Their demand is
/ insistent and yet at this very point,
Mr.. Governor, an anomaly presents
itself:
! While they are demanding an
extra session they are in the same
breath saying:
But the Governor won't call it."
| The inference is strikingly appar-
/ ent.
/ You perhaps have not forgot
ten that at the last election you re-
ceived a majority vote in every
county in the state. This in very
emphatic manner makes you the
| GOVERNOR OF THE ENTIRE
/ STATE. You are not under obliga-
tons to one particular section Of the
state.
Can yoat, dare you, ignore the
country IN tavor Of the cities2
/ Since the promise you made at
Brainerd. Judge Sanborn of the
/ United States Circuit court has rem
dered a decision that robs the state
of much of its sovereign power and
places Minnesota at decidedly dis
advantage in railroad rates as COM
pared with neighboring states. Can
you as the head Of this common
wealth submit tamely to this condi-
ton? Even if you can, as an indivi-
dual, can you as a representative of
1 5000, 900 people?
Cannot this condition be at least
relieved by an extra session? Will
you not as governor, exercise suffi-
cient influence over the members of
the legislature to see that it is re-
lieved if they meet in extra session?
In all kindness The Gazette asks
you these questions. It believes
that an extra session is necessary
and the only adequate remedy. So
far from putting you in hole"
The Gazette believes that the extra
session would set the seal of perma-
nence upon your pollticalreputation.

Probably there are no two men in

Sam Gordon was born on clear
and frosty night half century ago
He was extremely young at the time
and gave little evidence of the pro-
portions he was later to attain. He
sho we'd the astuteness that has al
ways characterized him by selecting
a father and mother of Scotch ex-
traction. This however was before
the Scandinavian influx into Mime
sofa and may be if Sam had it to do
over again he would slip across the
North sea for his progenitors.
1t is said that even in his earliest
moments he gave evidence Of the
stocism that is now his and for the
first year stubbornly refused to say
a word, even to his mother of whom
he seemed to be quite fond.
Later Sam grew out considerably
and up a little and got married and
ran newspaper and splashed
around with great exhibition of
ink in the bloody Seventh" and at
last decided that he saw Fate stroll
ing his way with the lieutenant gov
ernorship under her arm. Sam lost
no time in going forth to meet her.
There were several kind hearted
people who thought they saw Sam S
Fate as we'll as his Finish in the
neighborhood of the presidents
chair in the senate. Sam may have
thought so, too, but lie has hob-nob-
bed with Fate for good many years
and candidly admits he has yet to
catch sight of his Finish.
One or two efforts were made to
crowd the Finish into the middle of
the stage last winter but upon each
occasion Sam dropped off for nap
until some friend came along an !
Gagged Mr.. Finish.
So it happened that he was per-
mitted to fill the presidents chair o
overlooking all winter long except
when he occasionally called Frank
Clague to the position Of honor and
went out to tell Jim Arneson a new
story. He got SO in the habit of sit
ting in that chair that once he de-
cided to stay there all night and
with the assistance of Jimmie Boyle
he stuck it out until a. m. while
Senators Clague and Wilson were at
home fondly dreaming of brighter
days.
Sam says he found the chair in the
senate snug fit and believes the
Governor chair is formed to accom-
modate him more comfortably
Judging by the present incumbent
it would seem that the chair should
at least be big enough.
If this idea of Sans should find
naturalization of course James S.
Arneson would grace the office now
rendered classic by the fine Narcis
sus personality of Ralph w. Vince
lock. Jim is a newspaper man ano
Sam is also holding public opinion
Hence it is evident that newspaper
men are not all born to chronicle
births and deaths and creep in
their petty pace from day to day te
