Yes, more so than any other Expo- sition ever held. Whye Because 50 different nations (to say nothing of 44 of our own States) will be represented; because the St. Louis Fair is twice as big and cost nearly three times as much as the Columbian Exposition ; because it represents the latest triumphs of civilization.

The thing above all others which northern Minnesota has to demand of the state is aid in drainage and under the condi- tion which will confront us after January 1, 1905, the northern end of the state will have hard work to get what it so greatly needs. The newly elected governor during his term in the state sen- ate has consistently recorded his vote and his influence against ev- ery drainage measure presented by the people of northern Minne- sota. During the campaign he declared to the people of southern Minnesota that state drainage was an unwise policy inasmuch as it was calculated to berefit no- body but the railroads. The man who holds these views now be- comes by virtue of his election as governor one of the three mem- bers of the state drainage com- mission. Fortunately the other two members of the board are staunch republicans and ardent friends of drainage. The state swamp lands lie al- most entirely in the northern part of the state and the people of the state are therefor luke- warm, and sometimes, actively hostile to drainage legislation. ‘With a governor and head of the state drainage commission who is opposed to state drainage and with one important section of the state indifferent, northern Minnesota will find it no easy thing to secure the legislation and the appropriations which are absolutely necessary for the de- velopment of this section. Fortunately the cause of drain« age will have some able cham- pions in both the senate and the house. These men may be de- pended upon to do their part and we of northern Minuesota, by agitation and education, must do ours, A Beautiful Display of Chinaware and Glassware just received at T Liverpool China, Semi-Porceline Sets, Ivory, Opal, Ruby, Crystal and Gold, and Souvenir, Table and Limo Berry Sets.

Three amendments were submitted to the voters and it appears from meager returns that all of them haye carried. One increases the gross earnings tax on railroads from three to four per cent, one makes it possible for school dis- tricts to borrow from the state school fund so long 8s their in- debtedress does not exceed 15 per cent of the assessed real estate valuation of the district and the third makes it possible for the legislature to change the grand jury system to more modern methods of criminal procedure. An amendment to carry must receive a majority of all the votes cast at an election, not simply a majority of the vote cast on that varticular proposition, and here- tofore it Lias been almost impos- sible to amend the constitution owing to the failure of voters to vote on the amendments. This year the constitutional amend- ments were placed on a separate ballot and this plan seems to have been successful in securing an impressioa of opinion from prac- tically everyone who went to the polls.
