Interesting Legislative Letter
Written by r. w. Hitchcock
School of Politics

A legislature does more than
make laws. It makes congressman,
senators and governors, as well as
other and smaller political fry.
Governor Merriam, who took off
his official coat forty-two years ago
and helped draw the appropriation
bill, was before that speaker Of the
house. So also was Governor Sam
uel r. Van SAINT. Governor John
A. johnson served in the senate and
Governor ]. A. A. Burnquist in the
house. Theodore Christianson
stepped directly from the house in
to the governorship. Congressman
Clague and Congressman w. 1.
Nolan were both speakers Of the
house, and Senator Henrik Ship
stead served one term in the house.
There are others. Many state Of
ficials started as humble lawmak-
ers, and we are willing to bet that
a good many Of the seventy-odd
new met- bers Of the Legislature Of
1881 have hopes Of higher political
preferment.
Lieutenant Governor Henry Arnes,
for many years a member Of the
legislature, may run for congress,
or maybe for something bigger, and
Speaker Oscar Stevenson, they say,
when he gets tired of being speak
er Of the house, may be candidate
for railroad and warehouse COM
missioner. That is, unless the Re
publican party drafts him as a
candidate for governor. In fact
there are few among the 1913 men,
bers Of the Legislature of 1881, in
all probability, who do not cherish
other political ambitions, and it is
safe to say for so it has always
proved, that many members Of the
legislature which ended this week
will in the days to come occupy inn
portant positions in the govern
ment Of the state.
An elder statesman, George Nc
! Kenzie, of Gaylord, the father OF
State Senator Claude Mckenzie, the
other day briefly addressed the
house Of which he once was a mem
Der. and said that he hoped we
would pass all the good bills and
kill all the bad ones" No legisla-
ture has ever quite succeeded in
doing that, and doubtless the Leg
islature Of 1881 has fallen some
what short Of the mark. Good
bad, or Indifferent, its record is
written and you will receive it in
fine print newspaper supplements
in few days. You will read them
that is, some Of them maybe, and
be pleased or displeased as the
case may be, but neither you nor
your courts will find out for many
a long day exactly what they mean

Jackson, MINI.
April %, 1881.
Mr.. w. M. Parker,
Sank Centre, Community Club,
Sank Centre, MINI.
Dear Sir:
I have yours of the 18th, and
can assure you that I fully ap-
preciate the interest you have
taken in U. s. Highway No. II
Association.
It would take a letter OF some
length to fully explain the orr
gin and the purpose Of this as
ISOLATION. However, our field
secretary, Mr.. w. S. Gray, Will
be in Sank Centre within the
next two weeks and will ex-
plain this proposition to you in
detail. The purpose Of the field
secretary is to sell member
ships at $500 each to the lines
of business which would bene-
At directly by increased tour
list traffic. I believe that he has
now reached as far as Redwood
Falls and has gotten the full
quota or more in each Mime
sofa town.
In advance of Mr.. Gray's call
to your city, let me say that
there has been a definite move
to relocate No. II. Through the
efforts of our association this
move has been blocked. There
is now an effort being made
and money is being raised to in
duce tourists to leave No. II
south of the Iowa line and go
to the lake regions via the Twin
Cities. The money that Mr..
Gray is raising is to be used
for neutrality-suspicious. and
radio-to induce the traffic to
stay on No. II where 1t be-
longs.
I trust that Mr.. Gray will re-
ceive as warm a reception in
your city as he has in other
towns along the way. As vice
president I can assure you that
the men who will handle these
funds are square shooters and
it is my opinion that we will
get a dollars worth Of adver-
Using for every dollar that is
spent. The field secretary is
the only salaried man in the
association and his position is
temporary. He will have finish
ed his job as soon as he has
made all towns from louisiana
to the border.
Again assuring you that I
fully appreciate your interest
in this proposition and trust
ing that Mr.. Gray will be in
to see you in the very near fu-
ture, am
Yours very truly,
J. G. Robinson.

The Cid must have guessed our
identity, then, when a search failed
to reveal you" said Tanar.
1T may also be that they dis
covered your absence from the
dungeon, and, coupling this with
the fact that I, too. was missing,
some one guessed the identity Of
the two sailors who sought to pass
through the gate and who paid
gold for a small boat at the river, -
suggested Stellara.
There goes one Of them on the
rocks" cried Tanar, as the leading
boat disappeared in smother Of
water.
The second boat shared the same
fate as its predecessor, but the third
rode through the same opening that
had carried Tanar and Stellara to
the safety Of the beach, and as it
did the two fugitives turned and
ran toward the forest.
Behind them raced dozen Kor-
sars, and amidst the crack Of pistols
and areouebuses Tanar and Stel-
lara disappeared within the dark
shadows Of the primeval forest.
The story of their long and ar
duous journey through unknown
lands to the kingdom of Sari would
be replete with interest, excite

say that they arrived at Sari shortly
before ia and Cara made their
appearance, the latter having been
delayed by adventures that almost
had cost them their lives.
The people Of Sari welcomed the
Amiocapian mate that the son of
Ghak had brought back TO his own
country. And Gura they accepted,
too, because she had befriended Ia
mar, though the young men accept
ed her for herself, and many were
the trophies that were laid before
the hut Of the beautiful Himean
maiden.
But she repulsed them all, for in
her heart she held a secret love that
she never had divulged, but which,
perhaps, Stellara had guessed and
which may have accounted for the
tender solicitude which the Amio-
capian maid revealed for her Hime-

saw that they again were in pursuit,

quarry was throwing itself upon the

rather than TO risk capture by
turning again toward the open sea,

the sail down as the boats keel

astonishment saw that all three
