THE ELWELL LAW

Ut all the lame explanations
that we have ever read that of
Senator j. T. Elwell in the Min
neapolis Journal of the 22nd inst. :,
attempting to explain his mongrel
road law, is the most ridiculously
absurd. His excuse is "that a
complete statement of the law
would be too long for newspaper
publications. Then, as if to over
awe those who have the temerity
to doubt his source of inspira-
ton, he grandiloquently ex-
claims: "The impression has
gone out that the Elwell act was
loosely drawn by some one who
did not know anything about leg
islation or about roads. The fact
is that it was drawn by Lyndon
A. Smith, now attorney general,

Chiid's Fiendish TEMPER.

Death from exhaustion due 10 burns
caused by being pushed into the fire
by her younger brother" was the ver-
dict at Crewe (Eng.) inquest on the
body Of five-year-old Violet Capper.
The mother left a number of little
children playing in the yard. with in
structions not to go into the house.
Scarcely had she turned her back
when Frank. aged two, got into the
house. and Violet. who followed to
bring him out, was pushed into the
IRE by him. The mother said Frank
had q very nasty temper, and since
the occurrence had attempted to push
one Of the other children into the fire.
The coroner said it seemed almost in
credible. The child was too young
to be criminally charged.

REELS OF BOOZE WITH IT

F. Editor Peterson, of the Bear

alderman in Duluth, 50 cents to

record beat; that six years. ago
he took whirl in the congress
sional race at Il cost of only 50
cents. Don't know what any

such an amount Of money, but we
know no other manner of having
spent it than to have bought

GOVERNMENT should b

GOVERNMENT should be
founded on trust, not distrust, ,:
asserts Attorney General Wicker
sham in a discussion Of the propo.
sition for the recall Of judges.
The government was founded on
trust, and history will prove that
at the time of it's foundation the
trust was well placed. 1t is the
prevalence of the idea that that
trust has been misplaced which
now creates the sentiment against
continuance of the principles
which ruled in the earlier DAYS
OF the republic.
