Especial Correspondence
ST.. PAUL, March 3:-Grim humor
marked the proceedings Of the State
Senate last week i'm connection with
tile primary election BILL AS stated
last week, this bill is composite af-
fair. being sort OF codification OF all
laws relating to primaries. When
the session opened various bills were
introduced amending the primaries
election laws, and some two weeks
later the Senate instructed the cleo
tions committee to prepare COM
pos;te bill embodying the main points
in all of the individual measures pro-
posed.
This composite bill was introduced
some ten days ago, since which time
it has been up for consideration every
nov and then. The salient features
Of the bill were these three: changing
the date of the primaries from Sep
TENDER to June: providing for nom
partisan nominations of county Of.
ficers; giving the Bull Moose party
the right of nominating ticket in
the primaries.
Last week the Senate buckled down
to the consideration of the bill in
dead earnest. First came the ques-
ticn OF eliminating the, non-partisan
feature, so far as it relates to county
officers other than the county super
in.endent and probate judge. Sena-
ator Duxbury of Caledonia, a conserv-
stiye, led the fight on this feature,
az,d was Supported 10y several OF the
ssronses, members, like Rockne,
Ciague and G. n. Sullivan. r h e
Democrats and radical Republicans,
headed by Senator Haycraft. fought
for the non-partisAn idea, however,
and they won the day. This ranked
in the minds OF TIVE ty-five dyed In
the wool Republicans, who regard
TIE non-partisan idea as a blow at the
solidarity OF their party, SO they de-
.cided to give Senator Haycraft and
his fellow radicals dose Of their
own medicine in the shape OF an
am sndment providing for Doil-parti-
Sa, nomination and an election OF
members of both dsoases Of til > legis-
Iature. Senator Clagne brought in
this amendment Thursday morning
= and it carried rs It %. All the DEM
,ocrats voted for it--being just what
they wanted and enough Republicans
favored it as a matter Of principle to
add the necessary vote TO make a
majority. In this instance the con-
serSatiyes were the radicals and the
radicals the conservatives, for Dux-
bury, Sullivan ct al voted for the
amendment, while Haycraft, Putnam,
Sageng, Hanson, Lende and Company
voted againstit.
OF course, the conservatives tackled
en- the amendment to kill the bill in
the House, and the fact that they
won out and rubbed it in by voting
down a motion for reconsideration,
thereby making the amendment stick,
added to the humor.of the situation.
II the unexpected should happen, and
the House should swallow the bill
without modification, the joke would

point of view of the player and it is
natural enough.

Mr.. Taft and Golf.
ON the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
As golfer Mr.. Taft was altogether
too modest in his remarks at the din
ner of the st. Andrews Golf Club.
Those who know his style of play
would back him against the Hon.
Woodrow Wilson. In the long run
perhaps the President would be ahead
at the eighteenth hole, but it takes
time to make a golfer. Mr.. Wilson ad-
dresses the ball, it is said. as if he would
reason with it, but he does not follow
through well and occasionally slices In
way to bring tears TO the eyes of his
caddy- Mr.. Taft confesses to twenty
years of golf, and no such devotee can be
dub as the ex-President says he is.
Somewhere in the nineties is Mr.. Taft :
aVerage-not bad for man of his years
and substance.
MI. Taft has a deep respect for the
game as a builder OF character Prop
erly played" he says. lit brings a self
restraint that not even the churches can
exert. He proposes free golf courses for
mental discipline and ethical training.
As a game for the people" We lear
mat golf will never displace base bali.
although that game has not played a
leading part in the formation OF char

Luck in golf is a subject on which no
one who has just finished or is in the
middle of hard game should venture to
touch. says a writer in a British paper. l
doubt II there is man in whatever posi-
ton, even the highest in church or state,
whose mind is cast in even and jul

impartial and unbiased account Of q
golf match in which he has himself fig
ured. To him an approach laid dead
seems but the natural reward Of a well
played shot. while his adversaries natur

the vagaries Of an unjust Providence.

from the Dundee Advertiser.
Not long ago four man-eating lions
We're caught by fypaper at the village of
Gwalior, India.
1t happened that the head man of the
village was able to shut the four lions
up III q hut into which they had ven
tured i'll search of prey. He kept them
thus barricaded for nearly two weeks. no
one being willing to attempt to capture
them. Finally he thought of a scheme
that proved as successful as it was
original.
He had thousands of sheets OF hypaper
spread on the ground before the entrance
to the hut. Then suddenly the barricades
were lifted and the four lions came
bounding out-into the fypaper. OF course
il stuck to their paws, and, of course,
wher they tried to lick 1t off ii became

lions promptly forgot all about human
beings. and, in their wild endeavors to
get rid OF the hypapers, rolled over and

for breath. Then the head man and his
followers rushed forward with long ropes,

certain radius of the hole, and. there
fore, any full shot approach or long
putt. which found the bottom, was a
fiuke. The real point, however, which
was made with regard to luck, was that
some men were lucky on the very oc-
casions when they wished to be, while
others had their turn of fortune when it
did not much matter.
There seems a great deal to be said
for this point of view 1t is almost
indubitable that there are some golfers
who are lucky and some who are not, or
rather some who are luckier than others.
There are some men whose ball always
jumps a bunker or lies tied in a hazard
who find the only good lie in a wilder
ness of rough, who get the easiest draw
in tournament, and who often find
their adversaries out of form. 1t Is the
same in all games. There is, for instance.
the man who always wins the toss at
cricket who gets wickets with a half
volley. where the best bowlers have tried
in vain, who is missed in his first over
and then makes his hundred. But in golf
one Is inclined to think this is more no
ticeable than in any other game. yet, ad-
mitting that, is it all and altogether luck
that marks ont q man az more success
ful than his fellows?

Conscience Contributions.

From the London Chronicle.
The United States Treasury, which has
just become richer by / cent forwarded
anonymously. as compensation for a
stolen box OF matches, has never profit
ed by conscience money to anything like
the same extent as our government. The
first recorded payment of this kind was
a sum of ESQ sent to Pitt in 1879. with
letter requesting him to apply the
money Ito the use of the state in such
manner that the nation may not suffer
by its having been detained from the
public treasury. You are implored to do
this for the ease of conscience to u
honest man
Nearly every year since then the chan
cellor Of the exchequcr has received 4
certain amount of conscience money. In
1871. the chancellor received f14,Ghi
from a person who stated that he had
been engaged III smuggling for many
years. and that this sum represented all
his profits therefrom. One year the con-
science money forwarded by British tax
payers totaled 2164Se As Sd. But have
you ever sent remorsefully to the chan
cellor OF the eXchequer the price of all
those boxes of matches you stole?

Special Dispatch to Ihs Star.
DETROIT, November oS-Some very
interesting things are brought to light
by comparing the new system of keeping
pitchers records with the old.
President Ban Johnson of the American
League, it will be remembered. ruled t,
do away with the ranking of twrIer:
according to the number Of games wor
and lost and in its place devised I
method having for its basis OF excellence
the man. Bans idea in this was to show
what the pitchers themselves had done
rather than how much luck they hat
had in the way Of good support and hare
hitting behind them.
Walter Johnson, the marvellous speed
merchant of the Washington club, tops
the list of pitchers according to the new
system, with only LOO earned runs pei

Johnson is one of the few who per
formed in such q manner that the two
systems of rating iibed, however. Walsh,

him. Houck of the Athletics, who ranks
third under the old system with fifteen
