THE PROPOSED NEW NINTH. Under a schedule of sixty-one members, two less than at present, and with a house of 126—the present number, the proposed reapportion- ment bill as it will be presented to the house on next Tuesday, lines the ninth congressional district up as follows: Marshall, Roseau and Kittson, representa- tives, which means the addition of! one senator and three one representative. Beltrami and Koochiching is made a new district with one senator and one representative. Clearwater, Norman, Mahnomen, Red Lake and Pennington. One senator and one representative for Norman and one for Mahnomen and Clearwater and one for Pennington and Red Lake. Polk remains the same as at pres- ent. {the man of principle and | This arrangement was agreed up- on only after repeated conferences between the members of the legisla- ture in both houses from the ninth district and while it is not all that could be desired it is about the best arrangements that could amicably be arranged. The joining of Beltrami and Koochiching apears to be satisfact- ory in both counties, whose interests are largely identical. Now all that remains to be done is for the house and senate to ease their consciences by passing the bill. The house bids fair to get into that state of mental comfort but the sen- ate still looks stubborn. COUNTY OPTION. “The people behind this movement are dead in earnest. If this legisla- ture fails to pass a county option bill one will be passed in the future.” This was the sentiment expressed by W. L Nolan, representative from Minneapolis, in discussing the Rines measure on the floor just before the house slaughtered it on Tuesday of this week. “I want to tell you that county option is a bum proposition and I ‘want to tell you that I have seen the kind of people who favor it and some of them at times have a pretty good snout full,” was the substance of the argument of Frank Minette of St. Cloud, in opposing the bill. Mr. Minette said that twenty years ago he was a vrewer. These two expressions are cited as more or less representative of the feeling on each side of the question which has grown in to the politics of Minnesota until it is one of the biggest issues confronting the vot- ers. It isn't likely that the county op- tion wave has reached its crest. Mr. Nolan probably was a good prophet when he said the day would come when a county option bill would adorn the state statutes. Two years ago there were forty votes cast in the house for this kind of a bill; this is a presumption of the friends the beer brigade that will some day be badly shattered: County option does not mean. state wide prohibition, but it does mean that in those sections of the state where there'is a majority opposed to the liquor traffic; such trafic will be curbed. To the unprejudiced mind this sounds like-a fair propos- ition. S I WHAT OTHER PAPERS SA l “Jake” Will Not Down. J. F. Jacobson of Lac Qui Parle will not down, and every once in.a while he bobs ‘up with something mighty good-in the way of suggest- ions or opinions-that shows his heart. is in the right place, and that he is with the-people all the time.—Grand Rapids Independent. Would Take Tawney. Should Senator Knute Nelson see fit to retire at the end of his term, and, provided that the legislature remains republican, we nominate James A. Tawney, the blacksmith; strong muscle capable of hammering con- stitutional fact into the heads of his dummy colleagues.—Pillager Herald. Owe A Debt to Manahan. Some of the newspapers are in- dulging in some petty flings at Jim | Manahan, because he has joined the Progressives. They seem to forget that the state of Minnesota owes a debt to Manahan that it will never be able to pay, for his services in the struggle of the people against thei railroads.—Cannon Falls Beacon. Kicking on the Quantity. Dr. Bracken of the state board of health, says the milk sold in this state, as a general proposition, is filthy. Whoever buys it gets some 2,000,000 bacteria in each teaspoon- ful. Is that all?—Mankato Free Press. “Holes” In the Atmosphere. It seems that most of the accidents to aviators are caused by “holes” in the atmosphere. When some plan shall be devised for patching the air, or avoiding the holes, the aviator will be safe at an altitude.—Brain- erd Tribune. Appendicitis. How to avoid it. Listen to your pains.

An Oversight. A glutton once made) a bet that he could eat ten apple dumplings at one sitting if the other party would pay for the accompanying wine. After the ninth dumpling, however, he declared himself beaten. Sadly he regarded the tenth dumpling, which still reposed on his plate. Shaking his finger at it, he said: “Ah! 1If I'd known you’d be left over I'd have eaten you first.” How to cure a cold is a question in which many are interested just now. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has won its great reputation and im- mense sale by its remarkable cure ot colds. It can always be depended upon. For sale by Barkers Drug Store. Meanings of Several Names. Asia means morning or east; Eu rope, evening or west; Australia means lying fo or in the soutb; hence we may consider that these names mean east- ern land, western land and southern land. Asia is a Greek word, Burope is a Hebrew word, and Australia is'a Latin word. The origin of the word Africa is uncertain. Some conjecture that it is a Semitic word meaning “land of wanderers.” s STATE OF OHIO, OITY OF TOLEDO, | o CAS COUNTY. b Frank J. OCheney mnkes oath that he is senior partner of the firm of . J. Cheney & week there were fifty, with one|Co.. doin county optionist absent, a gain of eleven votes. If a like gain is made during the next two years, the bill will be sure to pass. Another evidence of the far reach- ing effect of this issue is revealed in the determination of the senate to take up the bill despite the action of the house. This means that the sen- ate will have its day of oratory and that every senator will be recorded for or against the measure, and the wrong sort of a vote may mean re- tirement to private life for more than one ambitious solon.
