THE SPECIAL SESSION.

In his statement with reference
to calling special session of the
Legislature. Governor Eberhart said:
with reference to the resolution
adopted by the republican state con
vention favoring a statewide direct
primary, | have always favored the
direct primary and believe that this
method is the only way in which the
people are enabled to express their
real preference, and ] believe that
conditions in this state warrant me
in calling an extra session of the
Legislature for the purpose of enact
ing a state wide direct primary law
for the nomination of all officials, q
stringent and effective corrupt prac-
tees law, and eapportionment
law.
THE constitution does not enable
me to prescribe what other .leglsla-
ton shall be considered by. the leg
islature. but have confidence in
the wisdom of that body and do not
believe that it will take up any
matters not in the public interest.
81 shall therefore call the legis-
lature to meet in extra. session on
June next. This will give the
legislature ample time to pass pri-
mary law before the date set for the
state convention. If necessary, the
state central committee can meet and
,rescind the call for the convention
so far as to leave the legislature
unembarrassed ..-.-. -...

VALIDITY OF THE CHARTER.

The st. Paul Dispatch, referring
editorially to the state supreme
court decision uphordng the validity
of the Mankato charter said:
"The supreme court of teh state
has ruled that the commission plan
of city government is valid and con-
stitutional i'm Minnesota. The ruling
was on the test cast brought by
citizens of Mankato and disposes OF
the contention that was raised by
some opponents of the charter
amendment recently adopted by the
voters of st. Paul. 1t has been
urged against the st. Paul plan, as
it was against the MankaIo COM
mission, that the plan is unconstitu-
tional in that it centers executive
and legislative functions on the
same men in violation of the pro-
vision that the powers of govern
men shall be divided into three dis
tinct artments-legislative exec
utive and judicial
"The state constitution, of course,
applies specifically to the state gov
eminent. although some had assum-
ed that municipal government also
is included. The legislature a year
ago voted to submit to the people a
constitutional amendment to make
sure there should be no doubt on
the point that has just been disposed
of by the supreme court in favor of
the people. The action of the court
not only disposes of the legal objec-
ton that was urged against ST.
Paul's commission charter, as re-
Gently adopted by the voters, but it
should put an end to efforts to Sc
cure a vote on the so-called federal
plan. The people overwhelmingly de-
clared their preference for the COM
mission plan. The supreme court
has ruled that that plan is valid and
constitutional. That should settle
it. What more did the charter COM
.missioners want?" =. ..

DECLINE OF TUBERCULOSIS.

In the decade from 1901 to 1910
the death rate from tuberculosis in
the United States declined from
1863 for each 100000 persons liv,
ing to 1903, a decrease of 1877 per
cent, while the general Geath rate
including all causes of death, de.
clined only one-half as fast, or at
the rate of 81 per cent, from 1868
to 1858.
These figures were given out in a
statement issued today by the Ma.
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis. They
are based on data distracted from
the reports of the United States
bureau of the census, and cover the
registration area in this country.
According to the statement. the
tuberculosis death rate has declined
steadily since 1904. when it was
2O1.6. On the other hand, the gen
eral death rate shows fuctuation
downward i'm general trend, but not
as steady as the tuberculosis rate

rate in the last ten years means
"a saving of $4,000 lives at the pres
ent time.
In certain cities, such as New
York, Boston, Cleveland and Chica
go. and in States like Massachusetts
Rhode Island and Connecticut, the
decline in the tuberculosis death rate
is much more marked than in the
country at large.
The national association says thai
there are many factors working to
gether to cause the decline in the
tuberculosis death rate, such factors
as the change in the character o.
our urban population, increased san
itation, and better housing, but prob
, ably as potent a factor as any has
been the nation wide anti-tuberculo
sis campaign.

MEN, RELIGION, SANITATION.

Enlightened public opinion is the
most potent force toward better pub
lie health and sanitation. Physicians
will succeed in their campaign for
prevention of disease in proportion to
the understanding of the value Of
health measures by the public and
it's cooperation to secure them. The
Journal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION recently commented on the
desirability of more. cooperation be-
tween physicians and churches in
public health education.
The Men and Religion Forward
Movement which has. caused q nation
wide sensation, has not restricted it's
activities to purely religious matters.
Various social problems have been
attacked: for example, a careful anal
ysis of conditions in various cities
has resulted in recommendations for
improved sewerage and quarantine
systems, protection of milk-supply,
organizations of health departments,
better opportunities for harmless rec
reation, improved garbage collection,
etc. In many cities excellent results
followed the work. The fundamental
basis was a survey of actual condi-
tons, that is, the tabulation of all
the ascertainable facts in the case
before taking action.
We are merely touching on the
medical phases of this movement.
It's chief work, of course, was re-
ligious, but the movement seemed to
attack the human problem in all it's
ramifications-spiritual,. social, physi-
cal-and to recommend improvements
wherever it was thought wise. 1t is
evident that the element of public
education on health conditions is
working. Great improvements in the
sanitation and hygiene of the Ameri-
can people are due in short order as
soon as the public is weakened to the
possibilitie. ts

faithful member, at 8 o'clock Thurs
day afternoon, Rev. C. B. Osgood

John Fraas, aged seventy-nine, an
old soldier, committed suicide at his
home in the north end of New Ulm
about ten O'Clock this morning. He
shot himself in the right temple and
death was instantaneous.
Mr.. Fraas, who was a widower
made his home with his daughter
Mrs. Joseph Clements, and her hus
band. Early this morning Mr.. and
Mrs. Clements drove to their farm
about four miles from New Ulm
where they expected to remain al
day. Mr.. Fraas was left at home
and he was alone when he commit
ted the rash deed. He was seated
on the front porch of the house
when suddenly he pulled revolver
from his pocket and shot himself

was the first one that had been
fired from it.
There is no known motive for
the suicide. Mr.. Fraas was well OIL
financially and he was apparently in
happy frame of mind. Two years
ago daughter of Mr.. Fraas com.
mitted suicide by shooting herself,
and a number of years ago son
ended his own life in tragic man
ner.
Mr.. Fraas was a veteran of the
war. He was a member of First
Minnesota Volunteer Cavalry. He
served with the Mounted Rangers
and was a defender of New Ulm
at the time of the Indian outbreak.
The coroner, upon being notified
of the suicide, decided that no in
quest was necessary.

P. ]. Youngdahl, state superintend
ent of the Anti-Saloon league, has
addressed a letter to Sam Y. Cor
don, asking bis position on county
option. Mr.. Gordon replied today
outlining his position. Mr.. Gordon
says in part: 81 want to say that
while l am fully aware of the fact
that county option is a live issue
and long way from being elimi
mated from politics, | also know
that the present composition of the
state senate makes it impossible to
pass such measure. However, Mr.
Gordon stated that he is opposed
to the brewery-owned saloon.

Whether to be lynched is the same
thing as falling victim to an &C
cident, is an interesting question
which the courts of Louisiana have
been called upon to determine. The
point came up here today, when the
widow of Frank Miles, q negro
who was hanged by mob in Shreve
port for writing an insulting note
to a white woman, filed preliminary
proceedings against an insurance
company. The payment of an &C
cident policy carried by the mob's
victim is demanded. The petition
does not specify that Miles was the
victim of an accident, but recites
that he was found hanging from
the limb of a tree in the rear OF
the baseball park with rope TIED
about his neck"

MOVE BY COUNTY OPTlONiSTS.
The Minneapolis Tribune says that

The Minneapolis Tribune says that
county option is again to be made
an issue in teh coming state cam
paign. The Anti-saloon league is
considering the matter of Endorsing
one candidate or another and Is
said to have come to decision to
indorse the candidacy of w. E. Lee
for the office of governor.
This decision has been forecast
by the action of Peter J.. Youngdahl,
superintendent of the league in let
tiers addressed as personal commune
cations to the voters of Kandiyohl
county in the recent gubernatorlal
primary held there. Mr.. Lee won
out over S. Y. Gordon in the fight,
neither the Eberhart nor Spooner
forces making any attempt to openly
compete.
The Tribune says further that
Outside of the issuance of the Off
cial proclamation, calling for a spe-
cial session of the legislature by
Governor Eberhart to enact a direct
primary law, the only development
in the gubernatorial situation yester'
day was the outburst of Lewis c.
Spooner in the lobby of the West
hotel, while talking to Odin Halden
of Duluth and State Treasurer Walt
err ]. Smith. Mr.. Spooner is said
to have been in a rage and cast dis
erection to the winds in the matter OF
applying the soft pedal to his voice
and in the brandisihng Of his fists
'The fragments of his conversation
that floated about the hotel lobby
indicated he was indignant over the
receipt of letter from c. A. Cong.
don, the Duluth multi-millionaire
urging him to withdraw from the
gubernatorial race, supposedly In
favor of s., Y. Gordon. Mr.. .Congdon
is understood to have advanced the
opinion that unless this was done
the denomination of Governor Eber
hart would be certain. Further de-
velopments in the gubernatorial stu.
