In a St. Paul morning paper of a day or two ago appears this item: “While learning to drive an auto- mobile on Summit avenue, near Ox- ford street yesterday afternoon, Miss Gertrude Schurmeier, daughter of the late Gustav T. Schurmeier, and one of the most popular debutantes of last year, ran her machine into Frank Shimon, an old employe of the street paving department, and killed him instantly. He was 68 years old, and lived at 486 Micnigan avenue. No arrest was made.” This is the second man within a year to be killed in the Twin Cities by an automobile being driven by! girls, In the present instance the| victim wasonly an old street sweeper, | but his wife, if he had one, probably loved him just as devotedly as| though he had been a banker andj her grief is as keen as though she| were the widow of a millionaire.

It is a little soon for everyone to have forgotten Ferdinand Klemer of Faribault. He will be remembered as that member of the legislature who accused Speaker Dunn of about the worst political crime on the cal- ender—that of having appointed men to House committees who| would control legislation in favor of the corporate interests as against the welfare of the common people. | That was several days ago. On Wednesday of this week, at the conclusion of the address of Speaker Dunn on the floor of the| House in favor of the Cashman dis- tance bill, Mr. Klemer sent Mr. Dunn the following note: “Accept my congratulations for your splendid appeal for southern Minnesota,” And Mr. reply: “Thank you very much.” And while our supposition may not be correct, we ate led to believe Dunn sent back this that Mr. Klemer hardly meant what|#nd members of the. legislature will | he accidentally said when he made the “packed committee” charge, any more than Speaker Dunn meant it when in reply he threatened Mr. Klemer with physical violence. WHAT WILL THE GOVERNOR DO? No reapportionment bill can be passed at the present session of tae legislature. If the lawmakers are not assembled in extraordinary ses- sion, there will be no chance to pass such a measure, without the question as to its legality being questioned, before 1915. At the Brainerd coovention last December Governor Eberhart de- livered a ringing appealin behalf of reapportionment and declared that and dangerously large representa- | ever may be said in way of praise for tion.
