It was supposed to be in lieu of mileage, although why em- ployes of the congress should have mileage any more than any other government employe has never been explained.

The New York legislature has broken its long senatorial deadlock and has named Judge O’Gorman to succeed Chauncey M. Depew as a member of the United States senate from the Empire state. The great trusts and combines and corporate interests will be sad to see the passing of Chauncey but aside from that few tears will be shed over Mr. Depew’s retirement to private life. His successor is a product and he owes his election to that corrupt organization. But while he comes from evil origin he shows up as about the best, most able and cleanest man that could well be ex- pected to be honored with a toea by the present New York legislature, Senator O’Gorman has. declared that he is in favor of the direct election of the United States sena- tors; that he is for a downward re- vision of the tariff; Canadian reci- procity; parcels post; a federal income tax and “rigid economy”. in the handling of the government’s money. He also favors a fortifica- tion of the Panama canal. Not all of these things may be for the best good of the republic but as practically all of them are at direct variance with the things for which Tamany stands, the O’Gorman plat. form furnishes interesting material for speculation as to whether the new senator really means what he says. 1f he does he will come nearer representing the people of New York than any Democrat from that state has for a good many years. Judge O’Gorman’s past life has been such as to entitle him to con- fidence on the part of the public and it has reason to believe that he wil try to live up to his platform and work in behalf of the interests of the people. A LITTLE MATTER OF $182,680 O SO. Even the democrats do things now and then which are bound to cause the people to nod approval. For instance, the decision . of the democratic congress to do away with a carload of useless House em- ployes and to discontinue the habit of giving those who remain thirteen months pay for twelve months’ work does sound like an improvement. Here we have the proposed sav- ings itemized: Three jobs in speaker’s Tammany; office.... Twenty-eight jobs in clerk’s office....iurruniiiniiiiinns Twenty-eight jobs in door- keeper’s office............. 31,340 Forty-two jobs in sergeant- at-arms office 47,050 Six useless committees...... 12,000 One month’s extra pay to each employe annually... 50,000 $182,680 In addition there are some miscels. alike action on the part of the| improve- {ing of Northrop must_ever stand .as| 1 actual leave taking was made lesa:' "rop. as usval was “in rare good HAILTO THE NEW PRESIDENT. . "I congratulate you on the acces. sion to the presidencyof a great university, and I = congratulate the so worthy a successor." This was the message which)| President Taft wired' to George| Edear Vincent on’ last Saturday when that gentlemen succeeded Dr. Northrop as the head of the Minne- sota . University. The . president covered a 2ood deal of grouund in his.short telegram. .. First, he recog- nized the fact that.Dr. Vincent is! one of the country’s greatest educa-| tors; second, thatthe university is one of the country’s. greatest seats o learning and third that a worthy successor to that dear, old lovable Frexy, Cyrus Northrop, is a treas.| ure of which Minnesota may well; feel proud.

Dr. North- rop, who has guided with a master hand the-destinies of the great seat of learning, stepped down and out, carrying with him the best wishes of a grateful people together with earnest hopes that many years of quiet, peaceful rest lay before him. To the new president, who comes with high honors from Chicago, and who jumps into his position as if he meant business from the word 20, | greetings are extended. As the in- stitution over which he now presides unfolds and expands he will need all that dynamic power, natural acumen | and techuical training of which he! is the fortunate possessor for :the hand, which is to guide the Univer- sity of Minnesota to that supreme height to which it aspires and by right: should achieve, must.'be a steady one. —_— When a medicine must be given to young children it should be pleas ant to take.

Minneapolis, March 21.—William Schroeder, thirty-three years old, a carriage painter of Minneapolis, and John Gallagher, thirty-six years old, of Jordan, Minn,, said to be a private de- tective, were found dead in Schroeder’s room in this city by Mrs. B. Leroy, from whom the room had been rented. The coroner said death was due to ac- cidental gas poisoning.
