Grant County Herald: In his St..
Paul speech Mr.. Bryan said that two
weeks before election in his last cam
paign he was offered a bribe-offered
certain support if he would agree to
appoint certain class of men judges of
the supreme court in case he was
elected and had vacancies to fill. His
statement created no excitment. 1t
verities what many have have already
come to believe, that there is traffic in
the selection OF the highest court, and
that decisions are not free from the in
huences responsible for its organlza-
ton. This feeling is deep seated and
stronger than appears upon the sur
face, because people are slow to de-
nounce and condemn courts. Mr..
Bryan has detied criticism and voiced
charge not easily brushed aside. It
bares condition that can not and will
not be tolerated.

The Holmburg law, passed by the
Legislature of Minnesota at its last
session, apparently places it within the
power Of every fairly well-populated
township to maintain a graded school
las good as any in town. Such a
school is created by consolidating a
number Of districts and uniting their
resources for tho support of ona first
class school, which supersedes from one
to four or more of the little one-room
schools; children living at distance
being transported IN special wagons to
and from school. As an inducement to
such consolidation, the Holmburg law
provides State aid to the amount of
from $3.50 to $500 year, in addition
to the amount regularly apportioned
from the state school fund. It also
provides for contribution from the
State not exceeding $500 or one fourth
of the cost, toward the election of a
consolidated school building.

News Of Especial Interest to
Minnesota Readers,
BREN AGAIN UNDER ARREST
Shortage Of Former Treasurer of the
State University Said to
Be Growing.

Charged with being short $4,000, be-
sides the $4,000 he says was taken
from him by robbers, Joseph D. Bren,
former cashier of the University Of
Minnesota, was rearrested and his
bail raised from $4,000 to $4,000.
With information received from
Deputy Public Examiner Frank N.
Stacy that the shortage would reach
$4,000, County Attorney James Rob-
ertson decided to have Bren rearrest-
ed and have his bail bond raised. He
Immediately had detectives detailed
to the case to avoid any possible
doubt of Bren's presence in court.
About 9 a. m. the accused man was

In view of this fact he believed the

that it be increased to $4,000. Mr..

ney's statement, but added that the
examination of the books was merely
preliminary and further investigation
might change the situation.
On behalf of his client Attorney
Cross strenuously opposed an in.
creased bail. He scored the police
and newspapers. He said the police
have been prosecuting Bren and that
the newspapers have aroused untold
prejudice, digging up matters in no
way connected with the case.
Judge Holt. in increasing the bail,
declared that he deemed $4,000 bail
too low and the $4,000 asked for by
the county attorney too high. He
therefore placed It at $4,000 and or

Springfield Republican: Senator
knute Nelson of Minnesota as a tariff
reformer OF long standing is cutting a
grievous figure in his attacks on the
reciprocity bill. He now says that the
president is evadlng the constitution
and tritling with the Senate when he
tries to have the bill accepted without
amendment. just where the evasion
and trltiing comes in is not clear. The
Senate can amend the bill, if it wants
to, can it not? And it can defeat the
bill if it wants to; and those senators
who are trying to amend are trying
to kill it. Let us make no mistake
about that.

that unpaid taxes on some property
belonging to her were due. She as
serted she had paid them. A clerk
got out the books to prove that she
had not and suggested that she had
made a mistake. She still declared,
however, that she had paid.
"Don't you ever make mistakes?"
she inquired.
The clerk assured her that he did
not and jokingly added, "The only
mistake 1 ever made was when I got
married"
She looked at him for a moment
and then said: mo. Your wife made

TO BE A GOOD CONVERSAT TON.
AL1ST

Keep clear of personalities in CONVEX

themselves with persons. Do not
needlessly report Ill of Others AS far
as possible, dwell on the good side of
where constant process Of depreciat-

character goes forward. They are not
pleasant places. One who is healthy
does not wish to dine at a dissecting
