At the very first joint meeting of the senate and house committees which are to steer to the governor’s hand a redistricting measure, clashes occured and some of the dangers con- fronting the enactment of such a bill loomed up. These things were favored by the committee: The number of senators should not exceed sixty-three and the number of representatives should not exceed 126. Counties should not be divid- ed in th formation of senatorial districts save where conditions compel it, such as population.in the case of Ramsey, St. Louis and Hennepin counties, and ‘where one city is in two or more counties, such as St. Cloud in Stearns, Benton and Sherburne. Inasmuch as each part of the state is more familiar with its local conditions than remote parts, it is suggestd that when the approximate number of sen- ators and representatives to which any group of counties may be entitled is tentativly or otherwise determined, each such group shall suggest to the chair- man, of the reapportionment committee in the Senate and House its preference in the form- ation of districts in such group. 1t is further suggested that in grouping counties as aforesaid the counties in each congression- al district, so far as practicable, shall be grouped together. It is, therefore, quickly apparent that any effort to reduce the number of senators will meet will prompt and violent opposition, and that would not auger well for the issue for which Northern Minnesota has been calling for so loudly. Of course this does not mean that the tangle cannot be straightened, but it does show that there is real opposition to an enlargement of the north state’s representation at the expense of the southern part of the comonwealth. A still more significent feature of this first meeting was the quick notice served on the cities by the country members that they would op- pose increased representation for the Twin Cities and Duluth, on the plea that to do so would, in the near fu- ture, place the control of the legis- lature in the hands of the represen- tation. Without the support of the cities to a reapportionment bill, the north faces grave peril. i | WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY I Ring is Right. Hon. D. P.

A Boost for Warner. Our Representative C. H. Warner is chairman of the public lands com- mittee in the house and I am fully satisfied that when the legislature adjourns, we will have some new valuable public land legislation on the statute books. I am fully satis- fied that we can have monthly state land sales under the laws by that time and that will be often enough | to give us a chance to work on them and get them filled witn settlers. 1| believe Mr. Warner is the best quali- fied man in the legislature for the position he has there and he also has, I sincerely believe the disposition to get us what we need in the way of changes in the public land laws, those added to the ability he has, ought to leave nothing more to be asked for in that line—Kolls Kollum in Cass Lake Times.

What “Garbler” Once Meant. “Garble,” “garbled,” *“garbler,” are words which nowadays coavey quite a different meaning from that which was formerly accepted. *“Garble” orig- inally signified simply *to select for a purpose.” At one time there was an officer, termed “the garbler of spices," whose duty it was to visit the shops and examine the spices, ordering the destruction of all impure goods. His duties were similar to those of the in- spector of the modern health depart- ment, who forbids the sale of decayed vegetables or tainted meat. The word comes from a root meaning “to sift.” The impurities sifted out have in the course of generations corrupted the term till a “garbled report” is no long er a report wherefrom all uncertainty bas been-removed, but one that is fuil of misrepresentation and made mis- leading with deliberate intent, Constipation is the cause cf many ailments and disorders that make life miserable.

In Perak, in the Malay peninsula, lawyers find no business, for a modi- fled form of trial by ordeal decides all disputes. In place of the legal practi- tioner the pleader is a native boy who is assigned to one or the other of the sides and is given a bamboo tube in which is sealed the pleading of the person or party whom he represents. When all is ready two stakes ave driven into the bed of a stream, and by aid of a bamboo pole the heads of the two Dboys are submerged at the same time. By grasping the stakes they are enabled to remain uider wa- ter for quite awhile after their natural Inclination would bring them to the surface, but at last one of them gives in and, releasing his hold of the stalke, comes to the air. He is immediately seized. and the tube he holds is cast aside. The other lad is led ashore, his tube opened, and the document con- tained therein stands as the decision in the case. \ Do you know that fully nine out of every ten cases of rheumatism are simply rheumatism of the muscles due to colds, or damp, or chroni rheumatism, and require no internal | treatment whatever?

The present estate of Abbotsford was formed during the years 1811 to 1817 from various small farms, the fi one purchased bearing the “inharmo- nious designation” Clarty Hole. After Sir Walter Scott’s death in 1834 a com- mittee of friends collected £S,000 to- ward the redemption of the estate, and Mr. Cadell, the publisher, contributed the rest on receiving the rights over Scott’s works. The lil fore by the credilors. .As his son, Lieutenant Colonel W. Scott, died on the prop- erty descended to J. R. Lockhart, his son-in-law, and thence to his daugh- ter's husband, J. R.
