Minnesota takes much interest in
caring for its unfortunates. It is,
believe, the only state in the Union ex-
tending aid to its prisoners. It was
the first state to establish a hospital
for crippled children. There are, to-
day, more than 1900 dependents in the
public school at Owatonna. In the in
stitutions for the deaf. the blind and
the feeble minded at Faribault there
was, during last year, an attendance
of nearly 1900 and in the five state
there was population of more than
$500. With the increase in the num-
Der Of the states Inhabitants must
come an increase in the number of its
unfortunates and therefore, if the pres
ent standard is to be maintained, new
buildings for the inmates will from
time to time be needed and larger ap-
propriations for their maintenance will
become necessary unless the members
of this body can agree upon some plan
whereby those, who are relatives of
the Inmates and are able to contribute
to their support, can be made to do so
through legislative enactment. You
have the power to reduce the appropri-
atoms for charitable purposes il you
deem it wise, but if, upon investigation,
it is found that such a reduction will
lower the high standard that Minne-
sofa has established and make it inn
possible for the state to give its wards
the care to which they are entitled, l
believe that you will agree with me
that such action by the Legislature
would be neither wise nor economical.

BY SKILL

"Not by brute force but with skill, has long been the motto of France in military endeavor. Skill won at the Marne and again at Verdun and it IS by skill that the artillerymen on the latter front are now battering holes in the German line to make way for an advance toward Metz.
 The methor of German attack in mass formation has been soft picking for the skill of the French gunnerS, else the French line of battle had been swept back upon Spain long since.
 By skill the French with an infe- rior force, so far as numerical num- bers go, has repeatedly driven back the Hun horde, and by skill they are now preparing for allied advance from west toward Berlin, in which the Sammies are expected to play no small part.

SWAPPING AT THE HAND

Anchorage people have just awak- ened to the fact that the hceSe money from that berg does not go back into the till of the city treas urer and have registered a protest as follows in The Times:
 Between $S,OOO and 5000 will be sent from Anchorage to the district court at Valdez this year whence it goes to the coffers of Uncle Sam, never to return to this city.
 "This large sum of money is taken annually from the merchants and business men of Anchorage in the shape of federal licenses. Every per son who engages in business in An chorage is subject to a license, the amount of which depends upon the character of the business he is in, and the amount of his annual turnover.
 ''In incorporated cities in Alaska, this license money is returned to the city authorities to be used for the mu- nicipal expenses, and in that manner, becomes really a municipal tax. In Anchorage, however, the money once having left the city, is gone forever more.
 "For the past year the property owners in Anchorage have been as sessed heavily for improvements, which in addition to the deferred pay ments on their lots, have placed upon them burden which is excessive. Un- der these conditions, it is wrong that such large amounts of money, which justly belong to the citizens of this city, should be sent away. Eight or
