sren1 MONDAYS Daily.
ST. Paul, October 20.-A friendly
suit probably will be started to de
termine whether Speaker Henry
Rines is eligible for state. auditor.
Secretary of State julius Schmahl
has Indicated that he will tako the
application of any member OF the
legislature who desires to become
state auditor and the only method
by which they can be barred, since
he has made that decision, would be
through injunction proee ed ing 8
against the secretary forbidding him
to place the name on the primary
ballot.
But rather than take chances on
having some opponent raise this
question late in the campaign, it is
| said that some friend of the speaker
viii start the suit in order to get
the question settled. Attorney Gen
eral L. A. Smith says that he had
not been asked for an opinion as 10
whether members OF the legislature
can be candidates for the office and
| in view of Mr.. Schmahl's announced
intention, an opinion from the attor
I'ney general would not settle matters
anyway.
The whole question hinges on the
| definition of the, word emoluments
The constitution prohibits member
| of the legislature from accepting an
| office the emoluments of which have
/ been increased by the last legislature
| until a year after his term expires
Mr.. VERSIONS salary was increased
but the same law provided that nc
state officer, should draw any pay
outside of his salary.

District court will convene in
Martin county in November. One
of the important cases,lthat will
come before the grand jury is that
of Chris Virgens, accused OF the
murder of John Steen. There Is
some speculation as to whether the
case will be tried in Martin county,
It is expected that change of venue
will be asked by the attorneys for
the accused and if the change Is
made the trial may take place in
Blue Earth county. Blue Earth
county is noted for the number OF
murder trials that have taken place
within its borders.
Yirgens maintains grim silence
He refuses to discuss with anyone
the serious charge that is placed
against him.

Man Who is Half Sick.

A physician recently remarked that
lit was an awful punishment to be
only slightly i'll and have nothing to
do The man who is only half sick,
if he has nothing to occupy his atten-
ton, soon grows morbidly introspec-
tive and his mind becomes filed with
exaggerated ideas of his condition
Disease grows and fourishes under
such conditions. Regular employment
is conducive to health. Work keeps
the blood active and the mind away
