Southern Minnesota should set up and take notice. Re-apportionment must come soon or steps should be taken to block all other legislation. This may not be the proper spirit but northern Minnesota must be given a square deal on representa- tion in the l]awmaking body of the state.—Norman County Herald. Although Stearns county was not represented at the Bemidji conven- tion the patriotic editor of the St. Cloud Times remarks: “However, we endorse and approve the resolu- tions adopted. Let there be a re- apportionment, a 1-mill road tax, etc. We are all interested in state development, whether 1t be in north- ern Minnesota, central Minnesota or southern Minnesota—one Minne- sota, one flag, one object.”—Prince- ton Union. THE REAL LURE IN THE BACK-TO-THE FARM MOVEMENT. Dean Woods of the department of agriculture at the state university says the aim at the farm school is not to make students and investi- gators but farmers, That is asit should be. Minnesota and the North- west need investigators and students, but the first need is real farmers, those who are qualified to get the most out of their soil-tilling efforts, What is wanted is a body of trained agriculturists, not a lot of theorists. There are to many who are inclined to look upon colleges of agriculture as impractical institutions. Many are inclined to smile at the notion of learning to farm at a school and are disposed to underestimate the value of a course at such institutions. Those in charge of the Minnesota farm school are taking just the sort of course that will build up the insti- tution and result in the greatest good to the state. There is an old saying that nothing succeeds like success. A company of successful farmer graduates of the college of agricul- ture is the bestargument that can be offered on behalf of the importance of the institution. The success and attendance of the school will increase as the people realize what science can do for the farmer. And the best inducement that can be offered in the back-to-the-land movement is also the example of prosperous. farmers. When a man says he is sorry, is it merely because he’s found out. Haven’t you known women who were homely enough to be extremely interesting? When it comes to birthdays women never forget the day, but generally drop the year.

I' J COPYRICNT EY HARRIS ¥ SWING EIGHT HUGS COST $16.50 Chicago Man Embraces That Number of Young Women. Chicago, March 9.—Eight hugs, a different young woman being em- ‘raced each time, are worth exactly $16.50, according to judicial appraisal. Peter Westereichert, thirty-five years old, was arrested by two police- men, who charged him with disorderly conduct because, they alleged, he had hugged eight young women. In each instance the young woman screamed, blushed and fled. “After he hugged the elghth we seized him and locked him up,” said Policeman Fox. “We couldn't get the names of the women because each ran away as soon as he let her loose.” “I plead guilty, judge. I can't say anything more. I must have been dis- orderly.” “Those eight hugs will just cost you $10 and the costs of the court, $16.50 in all,” said the judge.

RIOTING LASTS SOME TIME Begins as Result of Quarrel Between Manager of an American Owned Street Railway and Police Officer and Winds Up When Mob Stones Building Occupied by United States Diplomatic Force. Bogota, Colombia, March 9.—A quar- rel between the manager of an Amer- ican owned street railway line and a police officer was followed by a riot, during which a mob attempted to wreck the street cars. Traffic was stopped and the manager placed un- der arrest. The rioting continued for some time and reached the block in which the American legation is situated. The police gathered in force, but the mob, after wreaking vengeance on the roll- ing stock of the company, attacked the United States legation, stoning the building. The diplomats within were guarded and; though there were fur- ther disturbances during the night, {he authorities appear to be able to afford protection to the Americans. Elliott Northcott is the American minister at Bogota and Paxton Hib- ben is the secretary. All at the lega- tion were said to be safe. Mr. North- cott came here last August from West Virginia and was formerly judge of the district court for the Southern dis- trict of that state.

ASQUITH AND WIFE MAY SEPARATE Rumor Is Gommon Talk In Lon- don Society. London, March-10.—The report that Prime Minister Herbert Henry As- quith and his wife are to seek “ju- dicial separation” is no longer whis- pered, but has become a favorite con- versational topic in London socfety. It is almost certain that Mr. As- quith will resign the leadership of the Liberal party and retire as prime min- ister. He will be made a peer by King Edward, if the present pro- gramme is carried out. The very fact that Asquith is to be made a peer is likely to delay the legal steps toward a separation. The wife’s friendship for Maud Al- lan, the dancer, has been the cause of more than one family squabble. Home Cure for Eczema.

RELY MAINLY ON STATES' RIGHTS Arguments in Opposition to Corporation Tax. BIG LAWYERS . ENGAGED P p— Frederic R. Coudert, John C. Johnson and Other Prominent Attorneys Ap- pear for Various Clients and the Similarity of Their Briefs Calls At- tention to the Main Point of De- fense in the Case. ‘Washington, March 10.—From the briefs filed in the supreme court of the United States in opposition to the corporation tax lawyers draw the con- clusion that one of the principal fights on the constitutionality of that meas- ure is to be waged over the question of whether the tax is an infringement on ‘the power of the state to grant franchises. The question comes up for oral argument before the court next week. Frederic R- Coudert, counsel in two of the cases in which the tax is op- posed, argues at length against the so called infringement by the federal government. “The power to grant charters,” he says, “is one of the oldest state pow- ers. It antedates the Revolution. Tax- ation, with its logically concomitant potential destruction of this power by the general government, would thus be an attack upon and possibly anni- hilation of one of the greatest and old- est of state functions.” In the brief of John C. Johnson and Frederick J. Stimson in opposition to the tax in another case the argument is concluded with this quotation from former Chief Justice Marshall: “No political dreamer was ever wild enough to think of breaking down the lines which separate the states and of compounding the American people into one common mass.” Jed L. Washburn, in a brief in favor of holding the tax unconstitutional, re- fers to the same point as follows: “If whatever the United States has a right to do,” said he, “the individual states have no right to undo, it is equally true that whatever the individ- ual states, in the exercise of the re- served power under the tenth amend- ment have a right to do, the congress of the United States has not the right to undo.” Two Miners Blown to Pleces.

Derlved From Sale of Church Property. Paris, March 10.—The arrest of M. Duez, following his confession that he had misappropriated something like $1,000,000 of the funds derived from the sale of church property, for which he was the liquidator, has created a great sensation. Intimations are free- ly made that other liquidators in the employ of the government are sim- ilarly involved. The Republican press finds no words of excuse for the disgraced official and lays much of the responsibility upon the immense amount of work assigned to a single liquidator. At the same time these papers accord the govern- ment unstinted praise for courage in exposing the scandal on the eve of the general elections, when the affair is sure to become a powerful weapon in the hands of Catholic adversaries, who for months have been organizing a genuine political campaign. UNTIL PEARY SHOWS PROOFS House Sub-Committee Decides Against Honoring Explorer. ‘Washington, March 10.—By a prac- tically unanimous vote the sub-com- mittee decided against bestowing any reward upon Commander Robert E.| Peary until he has furnished further proofs that he discovered the North pole. “I am absolutely opposed to con- gress granting any reward to Com- mander Peary unless his proofs are | made public,” declared Representative Roberts of Massachusetts, a member of the sub-committee. “There is nothing whatever before us to show that Mr. Peary has discov- ered the pole, further than the state- ments of certain gentlemen that he @id. How could members of this com- mittee go into the house and support any bill which they presented when they had no facts to back it up. We would be in a ridiculous attitude.” .TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tabléts Drllzzlsts refund money if it flfls to cure E ‘W.GROVE'S signature is on each box. 23¢ still awaiting the men todevclop them and make them productive.
