An exchange well says that as a rule editors are the first to hear gossip, indiscretions of men and women quite unfit for publication, of intrigues, clandestine dates, meetings, night buggy rides, young girls gone astray and the flirtations of married men and women, The newspaper men always hear of naughty doings, no matter how secretly they may be planned and kept. If the paper would publish half the stuff they hear, there would be ten divorce suits to one now. There would be social ostracism of many who now shine in high society. There would be shotzun matinees, lynching bees, hatchet parties, imprisonment, desolation and misery. The editor learns nearly all the sin and hyprocrisy of life, and itisa wonder he believes in man or woman,witch or devil,heaven or hell. Many people are continu- ally finding fault with the news- paper, when as a matter of fact, they owe their very standing in the community to the editor’s waste basket. GIVEN A BOOST BY COMMITTEE Fam Correspondence Bill Or | dered to Pass, PRIZES OFFERED TO FARMERS Twenty-five Thousand Dollars to Be Given to the Farmers of the State for the Best Showing in the Various Lines of Farm Work—Woman Suf- frage in This State Not Yet a Dead Issue. St. Paul, Feb. 26.—The correspon- dence course in farming by the state farm school was given a big boost by the committee of the senate when the bilt was amended and ordered to pass. The amendment provides $75,000 for the establishment of the correspon- dence course, of which $25,000 is to be offered as prizes to the farmers of the state for the best showing in the various lines of farm work. The prize feature was suggested by Senator A. D. Stephens of Crookston. At present there is a prize system ‘which is maintained by personal con- tributions.” This will be supplemented by certain state prizes at the state fair and through the counties. ,The original bill was redrafted by the fac- ulty of the farm school so that the instruction will be given as directly as possible to the individual farmer. At present there is only one student for every 2560 farms of the state in the state farm school, and only one for every forty-seven farms has at- tended the school since its foundation. That six of the thirteen members of the judiclary committee who voted to kill the initiative and referendum hill gave written pledges before election to vote and work for such a measure ‘was the charge that J. N. Johnson of Canby made before the house in the discussion which preceded the killing of his bill. The statement caused something of a sensation, but it did not save the bill. The judiclary committee reported the bill for indefinite postponement and four members presented a minor- ity report asking that the bill be placed on general orders. Debate Became Warm. The debate on the motion to adopt the minority report occupled over an hour, and the many visitors who had come expecting ‘to hcar Admiral Evans address the house and were disappointed that he could nnt come, had the pleasure of listening to one of the warmest debates of the ses- sion on the bill. Or. the roll call there were 45 for :he motion and the bill and 68 against t. Representative Adame of Fergus Fallg tried, but failed to have the bill which changes the hour for the clos- Ing of saloons in citles of 50,000 or over from 11 to 12 o’clock taken from the tri-county delegation and sent to the committee on temperance. ‘Woman suffrage in Minnesota is not vet dead. When the committee report on Senator Ole Segeng’s bill for in- definite postponement, came up there was a small-sized storm at the rail- road methods used by the elections committee in killing the measure, and the bill was referred again to the com- mittee by a declsive vote. Graduates of the St. Paul college of law and the state university law school will have to take examination for admission to the bar just as do the graduates of Columbla and IMarvard 1f a bill presented by Senator Julius A. Coller of Shakopee becomes a law. He would amend the present law except- ing graduates from the two Minnesota institutions so that all applicants will be under the rules of the supreme court, which require an examination. Tuberculin Test Favored. At a hearing before the house com- mittee considering ‘the Swanson bill abolighing the tuberculin test for cat- tle, Dr. Reynolds ‘of the state agri- Gultural collegé @nd a Member of the state live stock sanitary board, insist- ed that Dr. Koch and Dr. Bank, the noted German and Danish authorities, respectively, had been misquoted by Senator Swanson, the author of the bill, and read quotations from those authorities to substantiate his posl- tion. He also read a letter from Pro- fessor Ravenel of the University of ‘Wisconsin, who he said is a leading authority on the subject of the trans- mission of tuberculosis from the bo- vine to the human, in which the latter cited several cases in which this had been definitely shown. Professor Andrew Boss of the agri- cultural college also spoke against the bill. Why St. Paul opposes a packing plant In her front yard was shown to the committee of public health and pure food in the house by several of her citizens. The whole -afternoon the committee listened to arguments for and against the plant. Mayor Lawler sald that this contro- versy was not prompted by petty jealousy and that if the Armour peo- ple had made any investments at the new site the people of St. Paul would be willing to take it off their hands and give them a honus if they wonld locate farther away. Wallace G. Nye, representing the public affairs of the Minneapolis Com- mercial club, said that the passage of the bill would defeat the hopes of get- ting an industry that would mean a great benefit to Minneapolis and some benefit to St. Paul NEW YORK JEWS ORGANIZE Almost a Million Persons Represented in Meeting Tonight. New York, Feb. 27.—Delegates rep- resenting the hundreds of thousands of persons of Jewish faith in New York will meet tonight in the build- ing of the United Hebrew Charities to advance the project of an organiza- tion that will look after their inter- ests. The call for the meeting speaks ot “the need for the unification of the various elements of the Jewish popu- lation of New York, which has geached the aggregate of almost 1, 000,000 persons, and of bringing about harmony and a proper sense of sol- idarity in place of the deplorable con- ditions which now exist.” T0 BAR MESSAGE FROM THE MAILS Mr. Tillman Introduces Resolu- tion in the Senate. — ‘Washington, Feb. 27.—Senator Till man has introduced a resolution in- structing the senate committee on postoffices to inguire and - report whether the recent message of the. president forwarding to congress the report of the home commission should not he excluded from the mails ag matter improger for transmission. Senator Tillman’s resolution aston- ished the senate. The resolution was, on motion of Mr. Tillman, referred to the committee on postoffices and post- roads, its reading in'the senate and reference causing no discussion. The resolution includes not only‘the president’s message but the report of the commission and the committee on postoffices is ' directed to consider whether the use of the mails should not be prohibited to the entire matter. The resolution refers to the presi dent’s homes commission, dealing with homes in Washington, to the message on the commission’s report and to the report itself, which treats of . conditions in. the alley homes of the city in plain language: ‘Minneapolis Man Ends Life.

EXPECTS ACTION BY JUNE1 Does Not Favor Permanent Tarifl Commission at Present as He Fears It Might Block Plan of Revision as Now Contemplated—Might Be Use ful Later on to Secure Data and Suggest Amendments. New York, Feb. 27.—President-Blect Taft declared in an interview that a revision of the tariff is a primary requisite for the relief of the present business condition and he expressed the hope that the revision would be accomplished by June 1. Speaking of this revision Mr. Taft said: “As this is the primary requisite for the relief of present conditions 1 want to have it disposed of at once. I am hopeful that there will be im: portant revisions in the existing schedules made by congress in an extra session and I look forward t¢ June 1 as the date when most of these changes will become effective.” Mr. Taft’s opinion was given after an interview with James. W. Van Cleave, president of the National ‘Manufacturers’ association, who called to urge the creation of a permanent tariff commission. After Mr. Van Cleave left Mr. Taft said he favored such a commission, but did not favor its immediate appointment. He said he felt that present tariff schedules are onerous to business, halting it with the force of a drag brake, but he added that the revision was all im- portant first and then perhaps a com- mission. Such a commission, if ap- pointed now, he said, might block the plan of revision as now contemplated. After the revision the commission would gather other data, watch the new law’s working and suggest amendments to it. Mr. Taft told Mr. Van Cleave that he desired to have further informa- tion concerning a commission of tar- ift experts and would give it his every consideration. - The present lull in industry, Mr. Taft said, was undoubt- edly due to impending tariff .legisla- tion, but that he thought with that knowledge in view congress would conclude its deliberations at an early date. ATTACK ON THE PRESIDENT Mr.- Cook (Rep., Colo.). Finally Shut Off by the House. ‘Washington, Feb. 27.—During de- bate on the sundry civil appropriation bill the president was scathingly de- nounced by Mr. Cook of Colorado, a Republican, while Mr. Smith of Towa, also a Republican and a member of the appropriations committee and one of those named by the president in his message of Jan. 4 last as being responsible for.the secret service lim- itation, seemingly employed all the invective at his command in an at tack on- that service. He compared the secret service detectives with “common liars,” declared them to be: worthless and pointed .to the assas- sination of President McKinley as a sample of the watchfulness and ca- pacity of those men. Mr. Cook in the course of his re- marks frequently referred to the pres- ident in most uncomplimentary phbrases. So denunciatory of the pres- ident was Mr. Cook that he was de nied -the privilegze of continuing his remarks after he had spoken but a few minutes. % L A committee was appointed to in- vestigate and report whether the re-| marks of Mr. Cook should not be ex- punged from the record: ENDS LONG LEGAL CONTEST Calumet-Osceola Mining Controversy Settled. s Boston, Feb. 27.—A settlement of the Calumet-Osceola mining contro- versy by agreement was announced here. The agreement, it is sald, gives the Calumet and, Hecla Mining com- pany control not only of the Osceola, which has been contested for months in the United States courts in Mich- igan and other states, but of the Tam- arack, Ahmeek, Seneca, Isle Royale and Laurium properties. It is under- stood that the transaction involved a transfer of,125,000 shares of stock at a price aggregating $8,000,000. It is stated also that all litigation in state and United States courts over the ownership of stock will be withdrawn. More Suffragettes Go to Jail.

Madison, Wis., Feb. 2}—A decision by the “familiar” vote of three sen- ators against five assemblymen to sub- poena forthwith all campaign man- agers of the various senatorial candi- -dates;- the reception by the commit- tee of the detailed statement.of the accounts of Rodney Sackett, Stephen- son’s manager, and a desultory line of questioning, with State Chairman BEd- monds on the stand—tgis- represents the sum total of wi was accom- plished by the senatorial investigating committee at the day’s session. There was quite a lively scrap over Assemblyman Ingalls’ motion to sub- poena campaign nanagérs, Senator Morris taking dssue with him and with Hambrecht and Whitman and Assemblyman Bray protesting against continval delay. One of the most in- teresting ‘and significant « statements was that of Chairman Marsh, who, during the discussion of Ingalls’ mo- tion, declared he had enough confi- dence in the. legislature to believe that there ‘will be no election of a Tnited States senator until the inves- tigation is finished.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb, 2).—It was thought last week that the limit in crowds had been reached in attend- ance at the Cooper-Sharpe trial for the murder of former Senator B, W. Carmack, but the throng that sur- rounded the jail ‘building almost: be~ fore dawn made the other crowds look like a mere handful of casual passersby. The deputies at times had to use force to keep the over eager men and women from -pushing pell mell fnto the courtroom. i The cause of the excitement was the well defined rumor that. Governor Patterson would take the stand on behalf of the defendants as soon as Colonel Cooper was excused. When court opened Captain Fitzhugh re- sumed the cross-examination of Colo- nel Cooper.

Booth & Co. were under investigation In two quarters—the grand jury and in the court of Master in Chancery Booth.
