Minnesota residents are warned by
Erling SwensOn, director of the state
division of Game and Fish, that re-
tention of other game meat besides
venison and bear meat may bring a
visit from state game warden. The
time limit for retaining wild ducks
and upland game birds in Minnesota
in any form has expired, the warning
stated. VenisOn and bear meat may
be retained under permit until Febru-
AIRY %. Hunters who have neglected
to return their reports covering game
taken during the 1894 open hunting
seasons should do so at once, Mr..
Swenson urged. Failure to make re-
turns before the last day of this
month bars licenses for hunting this
year.

Following 81 days of rather dry and
uninteresting testimony, the state
rested its case against J. Cameron
Thomson, president of the Northwest
Transportation on charges of larceny
through the sale of the corporation
stock at the trial now being held at
MoOrhead. Judge James E. Montague
denied motion on the part of the de-
Tense for dismissal. In a surprise
move, the defense rested without call
ing a witness.

der under which recurernt depressions
are an admitted certainty?
Talking about square deal in bust
ness" "rededicatiOn of righteousness"
and spiritual regeneration" are
nice after-dinner words, but they do
not fill the stOmachs of hungry chill
dren nor sooth the pangs of starving
men and women. They are wholly
deficient in calory content. During
times of so-called prosperity the mas
SEES for the most part do not live on
much more than the bare subsistence
level while during times of depres-
sion-well, it is just too bad. And
fellows like Rand come along and talk
about ,'rekindling of souls" and stuff
like that
The best answer the legislators can
give to Mr.. Rand is that the present
session is at least going to try to do
something about recurrent depressions
besides cowardly surrendering to the
theory that nothing can be done about
it. The Legislature already has
passed resolution memorializing
Congress to fix minimum prices on
basic farm commodities. 1t will be
confronted with bills attacking the
very conditions which Mr.. Rand
says cannot and should not be at
tackled. And a most hopeful sign
is the fact that most of the conserva-
tive members. realizing hat progress
sive social and economic legislation is
the imperative need of the day, have
expressed a willingness to at least go
some distance with the governor in
the interest of effecting something for
the common good.

Senate conservatives are threaten
ing to put through sales tax in spite
of Governor OlsOn's announced inten-
ton of vetoing such bill. Legisla-
tion of this kind will never tighten
the burden of the people. 1t is well
known that sales taxes are always
passed on to the consumer and that
they require the rank and file of the
people to pay the government bills
for the rich. Any attempt to foist a
sales tax on the people of Minnesota
should be resisted.

Attorney General Harry Peterson
has announced that he will appeal to
the State Supreme court the District
court decision on the two-token-for Is
cents street car case. Some issues
of fact were decided" Mr.. Peterson
said, (which we did not understand
were involved. We believe that the
decision is erroneous" The Railroad
and Warehouse Commission a few
months ago issued an order directing
the Twin City Rapid Transit Co. to
issue two tokens for IS cents.

the highway department. would receive
only $2,20O,0OO a year from one-cent

ly 100000 more a year from nor

additional funds to match the federal
government money.

"Rump Parliaments"

The expression trump parliament"
has grown to mean parliament which
no longer represents the will of the

The first of that family In Virginia
was Sarah Ofhey, who married Capt.
Adam Thoroughbred, a member of the
Virginia Council. She was the daugh-
ter of Robert and Anne Oniey Of Eng
land, and was born in London In 1909.
She died in Virginia, and her tomb at
Church Point, Princess Anne County,
Va, bears the arms here reproduced.
She was descended from the ancient
house Of Ofley in Staffordshire, which
dated back to 1460, when John Oney
is mentioned as the head Of the fam
ily. Her marriage to Adam Thorough
good connected the families Of Harri-
son, Waples, Gusts and others Of
prominence in the Old Dominion. Her
second marriage was to Capt. John
Gookin of Virginia.
The name of Ofiey Is also found in
New England ct an early date. David

A large number of witnesses testi-
fled as to the condition of the dirt

Richards. Some asserted they were
greatly improved, others that they
were in poor condition.
When DR.. Homer Il. Tabler, chair
man of the State Roads Commission,
was testifying, in reply 30 question
asked by counsel in the case for the
plaintiff, whether or not politics en-
tered into the appointment of
William M. Cameron in place of Mr..
Richards, replied that it did-about
fifty per cent. He also stated that
there were three things that entered
into the proposed removal Of Mr..
Richards. They were: High cost of
maintenance of roads under Mr..
Richards; protest letters received by
the Commission against Mr.. Rich
ards, and delegation of three gem
tlemen from Cecil county, who called
upon the Commission and asked
that Mr.. Cameron be appointed in
place of the incumbent. The Court
asked DR.. Tabler to name the dele
cation, and he replied they were:
John M. McCool, of Elkton; Arthur
A. Armour, Pennington, and Mr..
