active work. Several cases have
been cured or at least arrested and
the hopeless consumptive cases have
been made much more comfortable.
A visiting nurse has been employed
and has done much good work.
This county should have a small
hospital for incurable cases and
cases from neighboring counties
could be cared for as we'll as those
in this county. which would greatly
prevent the spread of the disease
among others. and where they
would receive the best of care and
treatment. ..
Prof. Bass, director of the engi-
.neering department of the State
Board of Health, has agreed to
supervise and direct the plans for
what the State considers the best
system of sewerage for the particu-
lar conditions which we have to
face in Willmar.. Mr.. Rowat Of
this city. will assist in drawing the
details and by the last of this
month or the first of February the
plans are expected to, be, completed.
Prot. Bass will probably come to
whitman then and address the
citizens on the probable cost and
why he considers the proposed plans
the most suitable for this city.

The death rate is exceedingly
low. which speaks we'll for the
healthfulness of the city. The

is about twenty per thousand. is

Three of the cases of consumption

The history of almost every town
where license has been out and
kept out. is that the people save
the money they have been spending
for liquor. The laboring classes
live better because thew have more
money to live on. There is more
comfort and less crime; more in.
dustry and less idleness. more mon.
ey in the savings banks and fewer
poor debts that cannot be collected.
More food and clothing for the
family, and for the head of the
family as we'll. and a bright future
for all .-Exchange.

School Decision Reversed.

A case of more than usual inter-
est to the people of Mcleod county
has been decided by Judge P. w,
Morrison. The action. State of
Minnesota. vs.. Adolph Iemplin.
was originally tried in municipal
court in Glencoe before Judge w.
c. Russell and the defendant con.
victed under CHAPTER 400. Laws of
1909. of the crime Of refusing to
send his daughter. aged sixteen
years and three months, to school.
Templin appealed to the district
court. claiming. contrary to the
opinion of the attorney general of
the state, that after reaching her
sixteenth birthday his daughter
was exempt from the provisions of
chapter 400.
The case was tried at the last
general term of the district court
in Glencoe and Judge Morrison in
his deciscion just handed down re-
verses the municipal court and
holds the defendant innocent of the
crime charged.
The case is Of special interest to
the farmers of the state. since the
county authorities throughout
Minnesota have. up to the present
time enforced the law according
to the attorney generals opinion
and have compelled children in the
country districts to attend school
until their seventeenth birthday.

least, will undoubtedly disregard

SEEN ON THE SIDE.

1t looks like real live session.
Tony Manley has appeared on the
scene.
John G. Lennon is contagious.
Every congressional district seems
to be developing at least one legis-
lator of his type.
One of the new members who
will bear watching IS Clint Robin
son, Representative from Winona
county. Mr.. Robinson is a young
ster and a Clapp democrat. He has
some good legislative ideas in his
head and will fight for them with
all the enthusiasm of a crusader. :,
A county option bill will appear
in the House before this is read.
Although the House Temperance
committee is unfriendly to the idea,
the bill will be reported out speed
lily and will then fall into the hands
of an adverse organization. I am
wondering whether the crowd in
control will dare to shut off debate
on this question as they did in 1909.
1t is pity that big. vital issue
like reapportionment cannot be de.
termined on it's merits. The new
districts are to be manipulated with
three things in mind; (1) County
option; (2) a tonnage tax on iron
ore; 81 the ambitions of numerous
politicians. Reapportionment, il

other progressives made seeming
-ly hopeless fight to reform the
rules. They won on the three
points explained above because pub
lie opinion sustained and supported
them.
"Why are the progressives in a
minority asked a friend; l sup
posed they would be in control Of
the House. as they are of the Sen
ate'' So did l. It happens that
there are two kinds of progressives
conscientious and counterfeit.
When the real crisis came the spuri-
GUS progressives unmarked and
marched with the politicians.
The Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives occupies position
more important in it's relation to
legislation than does the Governor
of the state. A Speaker must be
judged by four things: (l) The
basic laws that he hands down for
the regulation Of the House thru
his Committees on Rules: (2) The
Committees he appoints: 81 His
legislative lieutenants: and "a the
manner in which he conducts the
business of the session.
''To the victors belong tile spoils"
was the policy of the Speaker in
the appointment Of committees.
At least that vas the way it worked
out. The leading supporters Of
Burnquist-members like j. N.
johnson, W. |. Nolan, Kerry Con-
ley. land Ernest Lundeen-fared
SHINY in the assignments. On the
other hand, leading lieutenants of
Speaker Dunn-like L. C. Spocner,
R. C. Dunn. Geo. H. Mattson, JOHN
G. Lennon. C. E. Stone and Thomas
Kneeland-carried away the choic-
est plums. All of the most import
ant committees. such as appropria-
tions, reapportionment, railroads.
taxes. temperance. rules. elections
and general legislation. appear to
be packed with unprogressives:
Take the committee On general
legislation. for example. to which is
given all manner of important bills.
This committee is composed of
Mattson. Fowler. R. c. Dunn. Cong
don, Mckenzie. Washburn. White,
Henlon, Westcott. Perry. Nash, C.
E. Stone, Lennon. Reed. Nye. Spoo-
ner and Bouck. There are two or
three progressives in this list, but
hardly fighting progressive among
them.
Speaker Dunn named the follow.

Peterson. Virtue. Mckenzie, Webb,
Fuchs. A. Nelson. Just. L. ID.
Brown, Whiting. Hoffman. Westcott
and Crane. On county option the
committee stands six for and nine
against. But that does not express
the difference. as five of the six are
new, inexperienced members. while
the nine ants are practically all
trained in all the tricks Of commit
tee room controversy. 1t is the
general impression that the Tenn
perance Committee was "loaded" to
safeguard the liquor people against
other things than County Option.

agement is in a bad way. If any,
one thinks that the crowd that won
out is any better than the crowd
that lost out. they will have an
other guess coming. To make good
on the finances under the plan of
the fair. the management must
graft on the public to the limit of
endurance. This however seems
the least of its troubles. It is
when it attempts to graft on the
grafters that it encounters the
difficulties which result in the up.
heaval of the annual meeting. The
plan for the government Of the fair
needs a thorough revision. All
the fair wants from the state this
year is an appropriation Of $3.50, 0OC
for an agricultural building.
Imagine the howl that would 60 ur
if all the local fairs of the state
would ask So, 500 each for the same
purpose. Yet all together they arc
of immensely greater benefit to the
people of the state than the state

Where the light breath from the hal
Calls the color to the cheek,
Where the voice breaks in the hymn
When the sunset burneth dim.
Where the late large tear will start,
Frozen by the broken heart;

How to live. to grieve. to yearn,
How to bear and how to bow,
Oh. the Christmas that is fed,
