Two years ago, the Legislature passed a bill, which was signed by the governor, prohibiting the sale of cigarets in Minnesota. Now comes a nosing reporter who finds that the officially ostracized pills are on sale in the cafe in the state capitol building, “in the cradle of the law” screeches a head line. There isn’t much doubt but.that cigarets can be purchased at the Cap- itol but if they cannot that is about the only place in the state of Minne- @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@%@@g Qe sota where they are not for sale. Most folks, including men of med- icine and science who know what they are talking about, are perfect- ly willing to admit that cigarets have no real useful mission in life. Many of the cigarets’ fondest friends admit that their excessive use hasg “got my wind”, But the fact remains that a stat- ute looked upon with ridicule has no business to be a statute and law. is effective only insofar as the public is willing to make it effective. It might be a good idea for the legislature to take about 15 minutes off and repeal the anti-cigaret law, else get a new class of citizens who will enforce it. DYER MERITS RE-ELECTION. Popular as it was wise was the re- election of William P. Dyer to suc- ceed himself as superintendent of the Bemidji school system. One of the greatest problems of the day is to secure men who have the ability and self sacrifice to take up the duties, many and arduous, inci- dent to the proper conduct of our schools. Although Mr. Dyer has had charge here only since the opening of the school year, his progressive methods; his splendid technical training, re- inforced by a rare natural ability, together with a faithful devotion to his life’s calling, his work has won the merited approval of grateful parents. Professor Dyer’s unending aim:to advance the real value of a graded and high school. education 'is bear- ing fruit .and many a.father and mother are beginning to see practi- cal results never before.attained in the school room. Of: coure.our sup- erintendent could not justly be given all the credit for this rejuvenation in the method of instructing the boys and girls but he does deserve 230 miles; to {demonstration. - | significence in this. ing more nor less than a political |. sive movement and of being one of the real leaders in this advanced pedagogy. - Striking proof of this is to- be found in thergreatseducational con- vention: which Bemidji: is to have; the honor of entertaining this week. It shows that Professor tactics. The Bemidji board of. education, in expressing its approval of Super- intendent Dyer’s ability and work, did what the people of the Dyer s identified with those who believe in the adoption of modern methods and Koochiching - gentleman should re- ‘member that division of Minnesota would be worse than not getting re- lpportionment,: and that there niuy be some people north of the line he to. his proposed “.division—to s say] Minnesota, whose opinion would have to be consulted in the'matter.— Moorhead: News.

TINKERING. It likely will be demonstrated to the satisfaction of all, before so many months . have . passed, .whether .the Payne tariff bill is as iniquitous as now generally supposed. To our old friends, the democrats, who for lo these many years have done the wrong'thing at the right time, reverts-the-task of making the There is a world of It means noth- revolution'won by the aforemention- ed democrats. On'the night of January 19, 227 democrats, who are to sit in the next congress, gathered in Washington and ‘chose a speaker and the demo- cratic: ways and means committee, this committee being of vast import- ance because of the first time in the history of Congress the incoming speaker will be shorn of power to make committee -appointments, this power being vested in the ways and means committee. Commenting .on this, Collier’s' Weekly says: “All this was revolutionary enough but the really important thing done by the caucus and the great fight within the party was over the per- | sonnel of the new ways and means committee. That fight was won by the democrats who believe in real and honest revision downward and the 14 ‘men’who ‘were appointed to the committee are men who can be depended upon to write a tariff bill in the interests of all the people.” The 14 men selected were: Fran- cis ‘Burton Harrison of New York; Dorsey W. Shakleford of - Jefferson City, Mo.; Henry T. Raney of Car- rolton, Ill.; Ollie M. James of Crit- tenden County, Kentucky; Oscar W. Underwood of Birmingham, Ala., Chairman; A. Mitchell ‘Palmer, of Stroudsburg, Pa.;" William Hughes of Patterson, N. J.; William Gordon Brantley of Brunswick, Ga.; Claude Kitchin, Halifax county, N. C.; Win- field S. Hammond, representing the second congressional district in Min- nesota and residing at St. James; Cordell Hull of Jackson county, Tenn.; Choice Boswell 'Randell - of Sherman, Tex.; Andrew J. Peters of Boston, Mass.; and Lincoln Dixon of Jennings county Ind. Commenting on the makeup of this committee, Collier’s says: “There has not been for a gener- ation a ways and means committee which was dominated by special in- terests. In the ways and means committee that made the present Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, John Dal- zell would freely admit that he re- presents steel; Joseph Fordney would be the last to deny that he represents the big lumber interests; Broussard could hardly deny that he was on the committee to maintain a high Concerning this new ‘ways ‘and means committee no such charge can be made.” duty on sugar.

Lord Devon's property was greatly. Impoverished by the twelfth earl, who squandered .nearly all his fortune and terribly . embarrassed + the entailed property. He was addicted to a most peculiar form of gambling, namely, spider racing, which he played with the last Marquis of Hastings and the eighth ‘Duke of Bedford. Each player selected a spider, which was;placed on the table, and then the latter was gently heated from underneath. lel ‘warmth caused the insects to run, and the spider which got to the edge first won. “But spiders -are ‘curious crea- tures, and it would frequently. happen that a spider which was near the edge. and. looked" like winning would doun- ble back, traverse the table in all di- rections and lose its backer the thou- sands of pounds so:nearly won.
