THE open air treatment as ap- plied to the cure of consumption has proved very successful in northern Minnesota, more so, perhaps in this country of the pines, thanin some other sec tions, although the treatment has been uniformly successful. Though the fact is not well kaown, iris nevertheless true that there are scores of persons living day and night in the open air in northern Minnesota this winter and almost without ex- ception they are steadily gaining in health and strength, . In this connection it is well to take heed to the warning given by Dr. Bracken secretary of the state board of health in the nine- teenth -annual report of the board. Of tuberculosis Dr, Bracken says: “This, a preventable disease, has received entirely too little at- tention in this state up to the present time. It is a common thing for a single living leper in a community to cause a panic, yet leprosy is nothing as com- pared with this disease. “The records in this state show that for the past twelve years 10 per cent of all deaths each year have been due to tuberculosis, ” A percentage of ten per cent for a single disease is very large. That tuberculosis is a prevent- able disease has been demon- strated and the success of the open air cure may be regazded as definitely established. The building of a sanatorium at Walker by the state is a step which will enable the state to make a beginning toward staying the ravages of this terrible dis- ease and Minnesota should push its plans in this respect with all possible speed.

John- son, former public examiner, on the examination of the state auditor’s of- fice. The message contained three im- portant recommendations, which were agreed on at a conference between the governor, Attorney General E. T. Young and Public Examiner Kerst.

To correct possible favoritism in the future in issuing mineral leases, the governor renews his recommenda- tion for a law providing for the sale of leases at public auction to the highest bidder, after an examination of the land by the state. The salient point of the governor’s message are: Laws relating to timber cutting have been enforced in a dilatory way. State auditors have been too ready to compromise trespass cases, making it cheaper to steal timber than buy it. State auditor should not be a mem- ber of timber board, but his place should be taken by state treasurer. No reflection on Auditor Iverson is meant thereby, ‘Attorney general asks for another. assistant for prosecution of timber trespass and like cases, and also a stenographer, and his request is sec- onded by the governor. A contingent fund should be allow- ed the timber board to permit in- quiries by the board direcm, aside from the records. The governor's message was read to the house and the senate. Confiscated Game to Be Sold. Confiscated game will be sold in the open market instead of being given over fo the state charitable in- stitdtions, if the bill by General M. D. Flower of St. Paul, in the house, be- comes a law. Under the terms of the Flower bill, when game killed unlawfully is con- fiscated by the state, it is to be turned over to some reliable dealer, who is to offer it for sale on the open market.

The friends of the board of control gained a decided victory during the consideration of the educational bill, which seeks to divest the board of control of jurisdiction over the state university and state normal schools and to provide for the management of the university by the board of regents and the state normal schools by the state normal board. ‘What might be considered a test yote was taken on an amendment to the bill ofiered by Senator. Peachey. This amendment would include the ¥aribault and Owatonna schools with- “{in the provisions of the bill Strenuous. objection to the amend- ment 4vas made by the friends of the bill. The amendment, however, pre- vailed,-by the close vote of 30 to 27. Another votec was taken subsequent- Iy which might indicate how the wind blows, when an amendment was of- fered by Mr. Somerville that the spe- cial order be adjourned to Thursday. The vote on adjournment was 43 in favor and 12 against. ‘The friends of the board of conl,rqi were much elated, while the opposi- tion was correspondingly fiejeJ.ed over the turn of affairs. A Dill to establish a r,,va] reserye for Minnesota was introduced by Sen- ator Pugh of Duluth.
