the only senator to vote "No" on the
motion to expunge.
St. Louis County Stuff.
St., Louis county got everything
that it asked for. Among other
things three bills for raises in sal
aries of the county commissioners
and other county officers, several
bills pertaining to state and mineral
lands in this county, a resolution
petitioning the federal administra-
ton to reduce the ore rate to the
docks from 81 to 63h cents, a
special road act to permit the county
board to begin paving the roads of
the state highway trunk system in
this county at once, the salary bill of
Hibbing and Chisholm, etc.
The writer's bill increasing the
state aid to high schools which train
rural school teachers by $400, a
measure of great Importance to the
rural schools in all parts of the state,
passed the senate late the last night

high schools in Hibbing, Chisholm and
Virginia az we'll as 100 other high
schools in the state, will each receive

Newspaper advertising instead of
dodgers, handbills, etc, has proven
to be the best agent of publicity. AS
an example we will state that 500
dodgers, (this being about the usual
amount sent out by the ordinary ad-
vertiser) reach a few homes in the
city, are blown about the streets and
in many cases are punched under the
sidewalks, thrown into bitches and
otherwise disposed of by the small
boys distributing them. An adver-
tisement in the Ely Miner reaches
over 400 homes in the immediate vi
cinity of the party advertising and is
read by at least 1000 people in the
homes and a whole lot of neighbors
who weekly read the paper but who
never think of subscribing in their
own name and paying for it. Our
subscription list is increasing weekly
and while we reach the larger portion
of the homes there are several which
should take the paper and do not.
Advertising pays most assuredly.

Hoes and Rakes Can be Made as
Useful Weapons as Rifles.
Foresight is the rarest faculty in
the world. 1t is only here and there
that an individual is found who can
look ahead into the future and de-
termine by reason and deduction
what he ought to do to prepare for
the condition which his judgment
tells him will arise.
The almost universal Discrimination
to think about tomorrow makes the
task of warning people against the
dangers of tomorrow really dis
couraging one.
The few men who have a technical
knowledge of the actual food sup
plies of the world have told us and
continue to tell us that shortage of
food in every civilized country is
sure to come before the year is gone
unless the most unusual and most ex-
traordinary efforts are put forth to
conserve food stocks and to increase
food production, and yet we are pref
ty sure that these thoroughly just
flied warnings have little or no effect
upon the average citizen.
We Americans think of famine as
a disaster that occasionally occurs in
India or in parts of Russia; as some
thing no more apt to occur in this
country of ours than one of the
plaques which decimated nations in
the dark ages. But as true as you
are alive many thousands of Amer,
leans will not only be upon short
rations, but will get desperately near
to the hunger which enfeebles and
kills unless the energies of the ma.
ton are multiplied and the production
of food increased.
If we only would do it, we could
provide food enough and to spare by
the universal cultivation of small

This anti-tobacco campaign being
started is finding but few supporters
in the peerless ranks. To deprive
them of their inspiration" is going
to be some job. And one thing it is
sure to bring about is reaction
against the reformists. Prob has but
few friends. It would have many

there is "kick" in a prune-but why

misuse of privileges is wrong, of
course, but there is limit also to the
activities of these reformists and the

LEGISLATIVE Letter
By R. w. HITCHCOCK.
Representative 6Oth District.

The forty first session of the Min
nesota legislature adjourned last
Thursday at noon.
1t was an average legislature. It
enacted into law a few of the most
important measures ever placed upon
the statute books of Minnesota
the proposal to pave $500 miles of
state roads, the ratification of the
prohibition amendment and law to
enforce prohibition after January 16,
1920, the approval of the national
uffrage amendment and the grant
ing to women the right to vote for
President in Minnesota, the complete
reorganization of the educational
system of the state the eight hour
day for state institutions and nu-
merous increases in the benefits
which workmen may receive under
the workmen's compensation law,
etc. At the same time it failed mis-
erably upon several urgently needed
measures-its two greatest failures
being the soldiers bonus and the state
compensation insurance proposal.
The writer feels that he has the
right to say that the House in the ses-
sion just closed did remarkably good
work, for it killed the tonnage tax
and passed every other measure of
state wide Importance that it con-
sidered. The failure of state wide
legislation of the first Importance
was a failure in the senate. If the
senate had done as well as the House,
the forty-frst session would have
been one of the most noteworthy in
the history of the state.
Soldiers Bonus.
Let it be clearly understood that
the failure to give the boys who went
to the World War from Minnesota a
bonus is chargeable solely to the SEN
ate. The house appropriation COM
mittee made long and a thorough
study of the subject. 1t found out
what every state is doing. The bill
it drew involved total appropriation
by the state of $4,5O0,OOO- ap-
preparation equal to that which has
been made by any other state. The
House passed this bill after fifteen
minutes debate with but one mega
tive vote. The bill passed Friday
night before adjournment the week
following, so that the senate had four
days to consider it. The leaders of
the senate on the senate finance COM
mittee simply smothered the bill, and
the entire responsibility is upon the
senate.
The only measure passed for the
aid of the soldier boys was the Nc
Partlin bill. This bill was intro
duced in the house ad finally be-
came a law about week before the
session ended. 1t provided free tut
ton to the amount of 5000 for each
man in any school in the state. It is
piece of really obstructive legisla-
ton and will be of great benefit to
EVERY soldier boy who goes to col
lege, but something must be done for
ALL the boys-and the next legisla-
ture will have it to do.

Closing Scenes.

The Burrows boxing bill nearly
wrecked several appropriation bills.
The bill came up about one o'clock
the night of adjournment-that is,
the members watches said one
o'clock, but the clock in the chamber
said IL: 80 only. Country members
voted against the boxing bill and
beat it. This made Guy Dilley of
St. Paul very, very mad. He planted
his $50 pounds of avoirdupois in the
middle of the center aisle of the
House and roared: "Mr. Speaker,
my watch says it is one o'clock.
Everybody knows it is one o'clock
If this perfectly good boxing bill is
going to be defeated in this way,
nothing more is going to be done by
this house. I demand that my pro-
test be entered in the Journal" The
Speaker raped for order and Dilley
shouted all the louder. Finally,
when the Speaker threatened to order
the Sergeant at Arms to eject Dilley
from the chamber, his friends
formed a flying phalanx and forced
him into his seat from which he con-
tinued to roar and rumble for some
time. Just at that time the confer
ence report on drainage bill came
in. Oscar Swenson of Nicollet
county had been fighting the drain
age bill. He demanded that the
drainage bill be tabled, and when its
hackers refused, Swenson and Dilley
joined in a written protest and sent
it to the desk. Under the constitu-
ton, as the hour of midnight was
really passed, this ended the business
of the housewife two big appropri-
alton bills still to be acted on. The
House was straightway in an uproar.
Finally the drainage bill YVES tabled
the protest was withdrawn.the ap-
preparation bills were passed. Dilley
and Swenson cooled Of. and the
house worked on until 1:2J before
the hour of midnight officially ar
rived.
Auto for Nolan.
Members of the house and its en-
ployees presented Speaker Nolan
with a fine five passenger Oakland
car Thursday noon. The car was
placed in the rotunda of the Capitol
on the first floor. Ropes were at
tached to the rear of the car and
Speaker Nolan drove 1t down the
Capitol steps while members of the
house "held the rope" in order to
prevent him from exceeding the speed
limit, while moving pictures were
taken of the whole performance.
The license number of the car was
"232323".
The house ard senate passed few
resolutions Thursday morning., the
members said their goodbycs and the
session was finished.
A resolution by Senator Swanson
of Brainerd criticising the senate
finance committee for its failure to
pass the soldier bonus bill created
quite a ruction in the senate at the
last moment Thursday. The res
