The session of the legislature for 1905 will be an important one, though probably not so much so as the session of 1903 and the special session of 1902, These two sessions of the legislature have committed the state to sey- eral policies of far reaching im- port, such as the board of con- trol bill, drainage, primary -elec- tions, tax revision.

No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong; but the Path- ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different. One of my patients, Mr. W. A. Casler, has taken both Chiropractic and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractic is ten times more direct in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more thor- ough in one tenth of the time than an Osteopath would.

These policies while undoubtedly approyed by three- fourths of the people of the state, have their enemies, among which must be reckoned no less a power than Governor-elect Johnson, un- less his opinions have undergone a radical change since the legis- lative session of 1903 and the campaign of 1904, A wise, revi sion and extension of the board of control bill, the primary elec- tion act and other important mea- 5 | sures will be attended with all the difficulties and dangers which their enemies can throw about them. Of new constructive leg- islation there will be little of par- amount importance unless an act can be passed providing for a re- vision of the tax code. The leg- islature of 1905 will not create much but it has much to do in furthering what has already been begun. Why Pretend So Much? I'red Ames, the grafting ex- chief of police of Minneapolis, has been granted a full pardon and has been released from the penitentiary, He was convicted and sen- tenced to six and one half years of hard labor at the penitentiary. He has served less than one and a half years of that time. The con- ditions are today the same they were the day Fred Ames was sentenced. There are just as many reasons, and no more, to- day why he should serve six and one half years as there were sev- enteen months ago. Of what use is it that criminals shall be con demned to punishment by the courts only to be released, short- ly, by a board of pardons. When Ames was sentenced everyone believed that he would be par- doned in a comparatively short tine, Tf the state did not intend to punish Ames ‘for more than seventeen months why was he sentenced for seventy-eight months? p What is the use of pretending to punish the criminal if we do not intend to punish him? ‘WiTH the appointment of J. A. MecDermott of Canby to be oil in- 'spector Governor-elect Johnson has paid all the debts extraordi- nary of the recent campaign with one exception. The traveling men get, Mr, McDermott as their reward. The Minneapolis Jour- nal still remains to be paid. MRs. CHADWICK was *‘too sick | to talk” when brought into court.

GREELEY A Humbled Warden. “No white man would be a game warden’’ is a common ex- pression iy the north woods, The experience of any euergetic pro- tector of the game laws would prove that a man ofany national- ity would not be a warden long. David Smith was- appointed warden at Slabtown and ‘at once announced that he would enforce the law with great rigidity. o (. soon'learned that wisdom should whisper and not vociferate. His first act was to confiscate a barrel of partridges which with his own eyes he saw carried into the back room of-the butcher shop. He entered the front room, but was not admitted into the back room until the proprie- tor had sufficient time to hurl the birds through‘a window into the deep snow. He went out with a shovel and collected enough birds and enough evi- dence to convict, he thought. But at the trial the butcher testified that the birds had met their deaths by freezing on a tree be- side his shop, dropping into the snow, naturally, Pourteen prom- inent citizens swore the butcher was telling the truth and twelve jurors believed if. It was reported to Smith that a settler was catching fish for market. He called'to his aid a local constable and swooped down on the settler'one morning in the spring just as he was drawing in a loaded net. The officials re- mained in the brush until the settler went home with his morn- ing’s catch. Smith directed the constable to seige the net while he pursuied the law-breaker. He went to the settler’s cabin and discovered more evidence. A deer hide was nailed to the wall, and the guilty man was eating vension for breakfast. Smith put the deer hide iz his pack sack and the settler under arrest, and both men walked to Slabtown. Bud Betzelheimer stood in front of his saloon and beckoned to the warden. “Come in mit my place I haf someding importance to tellyou.” “Can’t do it,”” said Smith with a chest full of dignity, I must hunt up the justice.’” “Never minds dot. I send my boy to up look the shustice. I have some game bixness to dis- gust mit you vonce.” The trio entered the hotel office, where Smith doffed his packsack and dropped it to the fioor. Then they retired to a back room where a consultation lasted until Smith called Betzel- heimer ‘“a meddlesome fool.” For years afterwards the dis- gusted warden remembered the man as more than a fool. The justice conrt was crowded with Slabtown citizens when Smith and victim arrived. Such interest in the case inflated Smith’s breast measurement con- siderably. Alas for human pride and offi- cial glory! The crowd had come to sneer and remained to jeer. The constable, when commanded tio produce the captured fish nets slowly unrolled two loose-knit - |opera shawls and a pair of cor- sets. ¥ “Traitor,”” shrieked Smith giv- ing his disloyal partner a shove. ‘“You are bribed by the pot-hunt- ers. But, thank God! I have myself taken care of the deer hide*”’ He emptied his packsack—or someone else’s packsack, as Bet- zelheimerafterwards intimated— and a large black bear skin fell on the floor. Slabtown does not mourn the speedy loss of its only game warden. Revolution Imminent.
