A good move is now on-the pen
sioning of school teachers. If anyone
is deserving of a pension it is the one
who has given the best years of his or
her life to the instruction Of our chill
dren. The path of the school teacher
is seldom strewn with roses.-Cotton-
wood Current.
Why not place the selection of the
state superintendent in the hands of
the people? They have more than a
passing interest in this important and
responsible position. There is too
much Of tendency nowadays to place
some public positions too far removed
from the people. The people should
keep in touch with all public officers.

Some of those Minnesota senators
who voted against woman suffrage are
likely to live to regret it. "Hell hath

The President-elect's Brother Joe
desires to make name for himself in
politics, but is handicapped. 1t is pref
ty tough on ambition to have Presi-

Pretty early for presidential booms.
Maybe Mr.. Hadley of Missouri will be

The petition with the names of our
townsmen affixed thereto, asking that
the saloon question be voted on at the
election March II is now on file at the
recorders Office, having been filed

The bill introduced by Senator
Works of California providing for an
amendment to the constitution provid-
ing for but one term for the presi-
dent and that being six years, passed
the senate by close vote. The house
being SO strong democrat that it is ex-
pected to pass there without any trou-
BILE. But it will have to pass two
thirds of the state legislatures before
it becomes an amendment. The Roose
welt states may turn it down on the
grounds that it would bar Teddy from
running again.-Exchange.
The special session of the legisla-
ture held last summer was notable be-
cause it did so much in the short time
it was convened. From the results so
far, the present session may be repi-
tition of the old "do nothing" legisla-
ture. Get busy. We want reappor-
tionment now.-Bemidji Pioneer.
If a member of the legislature is
right on the comparatively small num-
Der of really important questions that
come up for consideration and makes
his influence felt he may be counted
good public servant, though he may be
the "father" of no bills and he MAY

The Minnesota legislature seems to
be getting down to brass tacks in the
way of economy, and we are pretty
sure to get some legislation which
will be a benefit to the country. A
law will probably be passed doing
away with the township assessors and
have centralized office known as a

An indemnity to unfortunates who
through errors in the criminal courts
are sent to prison, would be humane
act.-Hinckley Herald
Reapportionment is again one of the
principal problems before the legisla-
ture this winter, and we fail to see
how any senator can conscientiously
refuse to vote for such a measure,
without having the stigma of self-in-
terest attached to him. We believe
the amendment submitted at the last
election providing that no county
should have more than seven sena-

the voters of the state failed to in
dorse it.-St. Peter Tribune
The latest foolish bill to come be-
