st. Paul Dispatch: County officials
who have been considering themselves
safe and snug in their little jobs for.
another three. wears may h1ves-to get
out and hustle for .sa reelection this
year: s.E
There are some politicians about the
state, including defeated candidates
for one and another of these county
Offices, who are not satisfied with the
result of the 1914 elections, and they
are now recalling the decision Of the
supreme court last December in the
litigation over the municipal judgesnip
at Duluth.
Exceeds Constitutional Limit
In giving his opinion in this case,
Judge Hallam turned aside to remark
that Gas a matter Of fact county Of
6cers in every county Of the state to-
day are holding under statute fixing
their term at four years from the first
Monday in January, 1915, and until
their successors are elected and quail
fed. This term exceeds the constitu-
tional limit fixed by section 9, article
Z Of the constitution, which permits
no hold-over at all. But it has never
been considered that such statutes are
void except as to the excess over the
constitutional limit.'' ~
Some Doubt Exemption -
There are those who doubt that the
omission of the words "county offic-
ers' from the last clause exempts
them from the provision regarding the
biennial election, since they are men
toned in the first clause. And the last
sentence If the secti0n saws that call
state, county and other officers elect
would otherwise expire on the first
Monday in January, 1886, shall hold
first Monday in January, 1897
Should some voter, ambitious to hold
a county office, offer his fling to the
county auditor, it would probably be
refused. Then he could apply to the
supreme court for a writ of mandam-
us. a-ft
Would Mean Lively Scramble
The question is whether the other
justices would hold with Justice Hal
lam, and declare section 10 of the gem
eral laws Of 1913, which extended the
terms Of county officers to four years
unconstitutional.
If they should, there would be one
lively scramble for county Offices. The
legislature of 1915 took the safe road
with regard to judges Of probate and
passed an act for the submission to
the people Of constitutional amend
ment extending their terms to four
years. The amendment will be voted
upon at the November election. 8s

THE CARE OF SICK ROOMS.

The sick room should be the lightest
and most pleasant room of the house.
Let plenty of sunshine into the room
Take away all extra carpets, uphol-
stored furniture, heavy curtains, etc. A
clean floor. with a few rugs. is the
thing.
The sick room should have plenty of
fresh air. 1t is generally best to
shade the room somewhat in certain
cases, but we should let in all the sun
light consistent with comfort. Sun
light and fresh air are often more eff
ficient helps than drugs.
They cost nothing and are of great
help to the patient.
Do not allow a lamp with its flame
turned down to burn through the night
Care must be taken to protect the
patient from any noise, such as noise
of the children and passing steam and
electric cars.
Never get behind the door in cor
ner or in an adjoining room and whis-
per.
Do not allow yourself to take a NAP
while watching. Eat a lunch and gel
hot drink. This will stop you from
feeling drowsy.
Above all, let there be cool, wise
heads and loving hearts.
A happy Easter to all.

He was a handsome, reckless. gener-

under the influence of liquor he was
a perfect brute in his home and ready
to fight anything that stood in his
way. AT the tavern he was good
fellow" who treated the crowd and
seldom left the card table until his
money was gone, so IL was often
hard times in the little cottage.
Jones tavern was in the center OF
the village, and Bill Jones was care
full to make IL unusually attractive
when Big Ed was expected home from
a long Job. Sometimes Matte would
go to the tavern and try to get him
to go home, or give her some money,
but if he had had several drinks she

crowd
There was one, however. who never
went in vain, and that was his widow

of some sixty years. When Widow
Jackson opened the bar room door and
said quietly:
Edward, 1 want you" he always
went.

should put her out the next time she
