ROBERT DUNN is SORE
From Mondays Daily.


With the election returns on all
state officers practically counted and
the results known, interest has turn
ed to the fate of the constitutional
amendments, says The Minneapolis
Tribune.
Indications are that all of the
amendments with the possible ex
ception of the good roads amend
ment have fallen by the wayside.
Returns which have come in from
Kandiyohi county show that the good
roads and gross earnings amend
ments passed there. There were
1918 votes cast. The good roads
amendment received 1918 votes ant
the amendment providing for an
increase in the gross earnings ta1
received 1896.
The city vote on the amendments
was exceedingly light. r. G.. Dunn
who was responsible for the good
roads amendment, was in ST. Pau
Saturday. He expressed himself very
much disappointed over it's fate He
said that the city vote was a disap
pointment to him.
"If / find that the good roads
amendment has not passed." he said
81 may refuse to qualify for the
legislature. That will mean thai
the man | defeated will take my
place. All of my ambitions have
been tied up with the passage O.
the good roads amendment. if il
has passed / shall gladly go bach
to the legislature. If it has failed
of passage, I may not return"

AUTOS COME TOGETHER
From Mondays Daily,

From Mondays Daily.
Two autos came together on Sec
ond street near Cherry early this
afternoon. Frank Lee was driving
car from Glenn Allyn's garage,
near the Mankato Theatre, and was
headed south. Frank Hotaling was
driving east on Cherry street and
in an attempt to avoid a collision
turned into Second But the car
Lee was driving struck the Hotal-
ing machine before Mr.. Hotaling
could get into clear. His machine
was damaged. The lamps We're
smashed, the front axel bent and a
tire cut The damage amounted to
about SO.
1t is said that Lee was sending
his machine along at pretty fast
clip, when Hotaling attempted to
cross Second street. Fearing a col
lision, he turned to the right into
Second. Lee, it is said, turned to
the left and struck the machine
driven by Mr. Hotaling.

REST AFTER CAMPAIGN

st. Paul, November liz. E.
Smith, Minneapolis, has gone to
French Lick Springs, Ind, for a
rest, following the strenuous repub-
lican campaign, which Mr.. Smith as
state chairman, engineered. Mr..
Smith will be at the springs for two
weeks.
Governor Eberhart has gone to
attend a prison congress at Balti-
more, and with the two state repub-
lican leaders absent this week, poll
tics are expected to take an embar-
RAISING slump, in comparison to the
prediction activity.
All state headquarters have been
closed, and with the exception Of
the republican officials, nearly all
twin city men, the officials of the
other parties have left for their
homes in various parts of the state.
Politicians look forward to at
least years rest after the legisla-
ture is adjourned. The fight over
the speakership will arouse some
enthusiasm between now and the
time the legislature convenes. There
likely will be some skirmishing and
in the interim.
A report that the republican state
committee had come out of the cam
paign dollars to the good, yester-
day proved erroneous. Receipts by
the committee total $8,1S5.S4. While
the campaign cost amounts to So
267.35, leaving a deficit of $1,0S1.51,
with a few more bills to come in.
Secretary J. A. o. Preus asserts
that the debts will be wiped away
by the time the last statement is
filed, early in December.

LYNCH DOES NOT KNOW
ABOUT SIT IN CABINET

st. Paul, November 11.-Twin city
democrats are awaiting with eager
ness the next step in the reported
movement to make Fred B. Lynch,
national committeeman from Mime
sofa, a member Of President-elect
Wilson's cabinet. While the formal
invitation to Mr.. Lynch has not been
extended, it is believed the tender
of a cabinet position soon will be
made Officially. 1t is believed Mr.
Lynch has the solid support of the
Minnesota state democratic organ
ization, since John Lind, former gov
ernor, and the only other likely
candidate for the position, is said to
have been eliminated.
Mr.. Lynch was in Atwater, Wis,
yesterday on a hunting trip. Over
the long distance telephone he said
he would not discuss the reported
plan to elevate him to the new cabi-
net, since no offer of place had
come to him, directly or indirectly.
Doesn't Know Anything.
81 don't know anything about the
report that has me slated for Presi-
dent-elect Wilson's cabinet" Mr.
Lynch said, except what | have
seen in the newspapers"
Mr.. Lynch was asked if he would
accept a cabinet position if it were
proffered.
81 don't like to talk about that"
he said, because no offer has been
made to me-"
Mr.. Lynch minimized the report
that his recent trip east before the
election had anything to do with
the formulation of cabinet plans. 1t
is given out from Washington that
Mr. Lynch while in the east confer
red with William F.. NcCombs, chair
man of the natio"~' Committee, and
it is minated that post-election
plans then were framed McCOmbS
is warm friend of Mr.. Lynch, and
it is believed will insist in the Min
nesota mans elevation to the cabi-
net.
Lind Would Turn Down Offer.
Officers of the democratic state
central committee have returned to
their homes since the election and
headquarters in the Endicott build
ing have shut down. For that rea-

officials was not learned, but it is
believed the organization, which is
purely Lynch, will do it's best to
land it's leader in the cabinet.
p. NJ. Ringdal, democratic candi-
date for governor in the campaign,
and the recognized harmonizing fac
tor between the Lynch and Bryan
democrats, said yesterday he had
heard nothing of the plan to name
Mr.. Lynch a cabinet officer, except
through the newspapers. He said he
does not know whether the democra-
tic organizations stand solidly be,

movement.

EXTEND MONUMENT AVENUE.

Opposition by the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac Railroad to the plan of the city to
exteDd Monument Avenue is. we think, both
short-sighted and unjustihable. For Richmond
to listen TO such special plea would tend to
set an almost fatal precedent.
A. We have said before. the wiser policy OF a
growing city Ia to measure what 1t win do in
the future In advance OF the fact Here lies
true economy and real wisdom in civic govern
ment. Nothing can stop or hinder the develop
mNnt OF a city In the way in which it elects to
expand. The spectacle OF the National Capital
turning its back on the Capitol which should
have faced the city is q complete Illustration
Of the Independence Of communities of arbitrary
rules. For this reason comprehensive plan of
city needs Is absolutely necessary. The sooner
new streets are laid out the better. Nothing
can now stop Monument Avenue. delay in Civ
ing II the right of way would simply mean that
- ultimate extension would be far more expen.

Careful Use OF POLICE POWER.

Some days ago we took occasion to Incident
ally question the wisdom of investing employees
of public service corporations with the police
power. The reasoning we still think sound.
Such power is too enormous too grave in its
consequences, to be vested with anything except
the true governmental authority. Even police
are evil. If absolutely necessary one. To
extend such power to corporations is to in
vite its abuse.
But it must be said for the local carrying
companies that they are alive to the dangers of
the thing which they have been granted. They
understand that they are constantly ON trial by
the public They realize to the full the posi-
bifities of both financial and moral loss which
may easily follow unwarranted action on the part
Of their employees. Realizing this, they have
made code of rules intended so far as possible
to make the exercise Of the police power what
1t intended to be. weapon for an emer
gency, an agent for the maintenance OF order
1t is tribute both to the public service COM
panies of Richmond and their employees that
in the years during which the police power has
been theirs there have been not half dozen
successful claims for damages for its abuse
In the same period there have undoubtedly been
ten times many false arrests by police officers
for which no damage lies The companies have
looked the situation in the face and while
they think they need the police power they do
everythipg possible to make its help.
rather than an injustice to the public.
| We cannot as say, endorse such grant
Of sovereignty. Police authority is CALLING at

who are temperamentally incapable of the finer
determinations of life. 1t is gratifying. however,
to have discovered through Investigation that
the companies who have accepted such respon-
sblity take 1t in the knowledge Of it's risk as
