SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM SHOULD BE RE-APPORTIONED THIS WINTER. The rank injustice to different parts of the state in the matter of representation in the state legisla- ture is thus commented upon by the Minneapolis Journal: “There is no United States sen- ator to be elected from Minnesota this winter so the legislature will have nothing to distract it from th business of legislation. e “‘No excuse can be found this time for failing to make a re:apportion- ment of the state for legislative purposes. The present districts are grossly unequal giving one voter in certain localities as much voice in state affairs as four voters in some of the growing districts of north- ern Minnesota. The present dis- tricts were marked out 12 years ago, and in that time there has been a great shifting in the popu- lation of the state. There has beea a national census, also a state census, to show this drift, and a fair ap- portionment can easily be worked out by using the 1905 census re- turns. “Two vears ago reapportionment was staved off by the objection of the senators, vho hold over until 1911. They did not care to pass a bill that would legislate them out of HERE IS NOTHING an attack of croup. to fail. Mr. Homer Krohn, of Lisbon, Towa, in a letter to the manufac- turers of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy praises this medicine for what it has done for his children, He says: “It has not only saved them once but many a time. Only two weeks ago my boy had the croup so bad in the night that had it not been for having a- bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy in the house he would have choked before a doctor could have gotten to the house. It is a medicine that 1o one should be without at any time.” It is pleasant to takeand many children like it. be prepared for it. Keep a hearts of parents more than to be awakened in the night by the ringing cough which accompanies nothing but a slight cold and a few hours later the family be aroused by the ominous symptoms.. Every home where there are small children should be prepared for these sud- den attacks, as prompt treatment is necessary. Do not experiment with remedies of doubtful value, but get CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY that has been in use for nearly forty years and never known Attacks of croup are most likely to occur during the early winter months, and every family with young children should COUGH REMEDY in your home.

That excuse does not exist now. The new reapportionment bill Wwill have coincident effect with terms of senate and hcuse members. It is held by the attorney’ general that there is no bar in the constitu- tion to a new apportionment at any session, and the problem is clearly up to the members of the 1909 legislature. *“The two houses are large enough already. A just reapportionment will take members away from some of the southern counties and give them to northern territory. This may not be to the liking of the dis- tricts that will lose, but it is only fairness and justice. “There is no defense for a system that gives one senator to Dodge county, with 12,757 population in 1905, and only one senator to the counties of Aitkin, Carlton, Cass, Itasca and Koochiching, with 47,365 population three years ago, now much increased. “Another district, the sixty-first, includes Beltrami, Clearwater, Red Lake and Norman counties, with 54,682 population and only one senator. “Many such instances of rank inequality could be cited. Henne- pin county, for instance, has an average of over 42,000 persons to each senator, while three senators from southern Minnesota have altogether only 42,983 constituents.” MARKET QUOTATIONS.

COURT ALLOWS IT IN RECORDS Roosevelt Quoted in Labor Contempt Case. CRUELTY OF THE BOYCOTT Attorney for Buck Stove and Range Company Uses Statement of Pres- ident in Argument for His Clients in Spite of the Objection of the De- fense—Case Now in the Hands of the Court. ‘Washington, Nov. 18.—Arguments in the contempt case of the Buck Stove and Range company against Samuel Gompers, Frank Morrison and John Mitchell of the American Fed- eration of Labor have been concluded, vames M. Beck, of counsel for the stove company, made a strong plea for his clients, in which he closely dissected the injunction of the court against the defendants and sought to show that they had put themselves in contempt by officially publishing the company in the “we don’t patronize list.” The name of Fresident Roosevelt and his opinion of the boycott was in- jected into the argnment of Mr. Beck. Counsel for the defendants objected, intimating but not charging that it was an attempt to improperly influ- ence the court. Mr. Beck had re- ferred to the cruelty and indefensibil- ity of the boycott and said: “I havs very high authority for say- ing that in a very recent public state- ment the president of the United States said that of all forms of op- pression which man had yet devised the most cruel is the boycott.” President Not an Authority. Attorney Ralston, for the defend- ants, objected, saying: “I certainly object to the president of the TUnited States bcing brought into this discussion. We all have the highest possible respect for him, but he cannot be quoted as an authority on matters of this kind.” Justice Wrigat overruled the objec- tlon, saying: “I suppose counsel in argument has the right to adopt the words of an- other person to convey an idea if they see fit to do so0.” Mr. Beck thereupon proceeded with his argument and at its close Justice ‘Wright took the case under advise- ment. Counsel were allowed the priv- ilege of filing briefs on certain mat- ters which arose during the progress of the hearing. It is not expected that the court will announce its de- clsion far several days. ATTACK ON SUGAR TRUST Secretary of War Wright Before House Committee. ‘Washington, Nov. 18.—That the:! opinions expressed by Secretary of | ‘War Wright in favor of free trade with_the_ Philipbines for_tohacco.and i marks of the secretary of war will suigar are the views of President-Elect Taft was the freely expressed belief in the ways and means committee room of the house when the hearing | on the sugar schedule of the tariff was resumed. Secretary Wright’s familiarity with the industrial situa- | tion in the American Asiatic insular possessions leads to the belief that he will disclose some interesting facts when he appears before the commit- tee later. The secretary -of war took occasion to attack the so called “sugar trust” and there is much speculation among those who follow closely the tariff hearings as to what effect the re- have in regard to the readjustment of the sugar schedule in the tariff bill. EVIDENGE IN THE LAMPHERE CASE State’s Afihmey Brings ilut Damaging Testimony.

Slater was a little unwilling to “tell on Lamphere,” but Prosecutor Smith, by frequent refer- ence to Slater’s testimony before the grand jury, refreshed his memory when he ‘“couldn’t remember,” with the result that much damaging evi- dence against Lamphere was brought before the jury. The first statement of the defense in court to show its line of defense ‘was made by Attorney Worden when cross-examining a witness, at which time he remarked that an effort would be made to show that Mrs. Gunness ‘was a suicide.

FOREIGN LEGATIONS OFFIGIALLY NOTIFIED Chinese Emperor and Dowager {Empress Dead, Peking, Nov. 1 —Tsze Hsi An, the dowager empress of China, the auto- cratic head of the government which she had directed without successful Interference since 1861 and without protests since 1881, is dead. The announcement of the dowager empress’ death was official and fol- lowed closely upon the announcement that Kwang Hsu, the emperor, had dled at 5 o’clock Saturday afternoon, but it is believed that the deaths of both the emperor and the dowager empress occurred a considerable time before that set down in the official statements. An edict issued following the death of the dowager empress placed upon the throne Prince Pu Yi, the three- year-old son of Prince Chun, regent of the empire, in accordance with a. promise given by the dowager em- press soon after the marriage of Prince Chun in 1903. An edict issued Din Friday made Pu Yi heir presump- tive. The foreign legations were notified by the foreign board of the death of the emperor and the succession of Prince Pu Yi. VALEDICTORIES PUBLISHED Last Words of Chinese Emperor and Empress Dowager. # Peking, Nov. 1/—Following the publication of the late Emperor Kwang Hsu's valedictory, recommend- ing the reference of important affairs to the empress dowager, now dead, another edict was issued giving the late dowager’s valedictory, commend- ing the new dowager, Yehonala, to the-confidence of the young emperer’s regents. The new emperor’s installation: on the throne and the naming of the era will take place, it is expected, on the Chinese New Year, Jan. 21. A conference of diplomats was held to discuss proper steps for the recog- aition of the new government. GOING AT TERRIFIC SPEED Emile Stricker Killed in ‘Auto Race Against Time. Birmingham, Ald, Nov. 18—In an automobile making a speed of more than sixty miles an hour in an effort to lower the twenty-four-hour record Emile Stricker was almost instantly killed on the fair grounds track here. Leon Barrows of Birmingham, who was in the car with Stricker, was ser!- ously though not fatally injured. Lewis Strang and Emile Stricker were making an effort to lower the twenty-four-hour record, Strang being relieved by Stricker just before the accident.. Stricker began making ter- rific speed almost immediately. The track was poorly lighted and when the car dashed around the curve at the west end of the track at better than a sixty-mile clip one tire ex- ploded, followed quickly by the explo- sion of a second tire, and in an in- stant the car was a total wreck.
