Crowds of what Frank Eddy last fall described as “Roosevelt Maniacs” (by the way Frank rode in the pa- rade last Friday) crowded the depot, the streets, the hotel, the capitol and even into the house chamber, so that the hero of San Juan and the jungle was given the glad hand with a vim. And Theodore expounded, and then his thousand-told doc- trines of political rightousness and although more than once he tread on the toes of the members of the pounded in, legislature, his remarks were quently greeted by bursts of ap- plause, fre- In some ways his talk contained silent humor. United States Senator Miles Poin- dexter of Washington addressed the solons and accidentally drifted onto issues involving certain bills pending before the Minnesota legislature. His remarks were general in charac- ter and the senator explained after- ward that he did not know he was talking on pending legislation. But if the lawmakers were offend- ed at what Poindexter said there was them to be “wild eyed” over the Roosevelt talk, for that strenuous gentleman took up al- good reason for most every one of the big issues over which the Minnesota legislators have and he told them in plain words what ought and what been at war ought not to be done, “You should see to it that Minne- sota has a direct voice in choosing United States Senators,” admonished the distinguished visitor. Long and hearty applause greet- ed this because both houses of the legislature agree that such a re- form is needed. “Personally, 1 believe in the ini- tiative and referendum,” said Roose- velt and he could get no farther un- . til the applause had died away when he added: “BUT I think there should be a sufficiently high percentage both as to initiating legislation and refer- ring it as to insure intelligent ac- tion.” This caused the Minnesota democrats to howl with delight for it was democratic Representative Pfaender of New Ulm who succeeded in having high percentages included in the bill passed by the present leg- islature. “If the recall is to be used,” said[® @ © @9 00000060660 the colonel later on in his remarks, “I believe it should not include the|® ® @SS 6606660 ¢ judiciary, which should be above the danger of a sudden gust of pagsion 1 believe the judges should be in a position to be guided absolutely by their own conscience with no thought as to on the part of the public. public approval. And this struck home-with sledge hammer force for less than thirty- A few days previous| six hours before in the very chamber in -which Roosevelt was talking, it had been voted, after a heated debate, to add the judiciary and the members of the legislature to the recall bill passed by the senate. ONE KIND OF-A SPRINGTONIC. Although we have no quarrel to pick with the advertising manager and are ready to admit that some of the medicine which his manufactur- ing friends offer for sale:may, at | least, be harmless,we believe the | real spring tonfc is not confined in bottles and that it is to be had with- out cost. We refer to the rich ozone of pine scented Northern: Minnesota. To him whose-system still holds the languor of winter, we -preseribe a brisk walk early in the morning of one of these spring days. The more ‘ambitious may- take a turn-around the lake and if this is done often {enough in a month the patient will efeel as strong as a democrat in Con- Egress‘ and ‘as happy as a darky with {a watermelon. Help yourself to the glorious fresh air—the woods are full lof it. SPEAKER DUNN. Speaker H. H. Dunn of the Minne- sota' House of Representatives is re- ported to have said: “l have no political ambitions, than to come back:and sit as a plain member on the floor with the boys."” According to this he would not le\'en care to again be presiding offi- cer and gives no intimation that he ever has harbored an ambition to | become governor, although there is | a general understanding that this is | the position for which he really| | yearns, other Perhaps Mr. Dunn has come to the conclusion that it would be folly | for ‘him to attempt to’ get the gov- ernor’s chair at this time because of | certain unfortunate -events in the legislature. He probably figures | that the.Klemer “packed committee’ charge would hurt him, and no doubt | it would, although the charges never | bave been substantiated. i1t more than anything else, it is| ikely that the Speaker’s unprece dented action of appealing for votes { for a bill in which he was interested | would count more again him in al | political campaign. It will be re- membered that after the Speaker had gone down on the floor and made a | speech in behalf of the Cashman dis- tance tariff bill—a measure of doubt- ful value—he violated the rules by | watching the roll call by the side of | the reading clerk, and when he saw | the bill was all but lost appealed for | “just one more good democratic vote.” Speaker Dunn has been as fair a ’presiding officer as could be magined; not a member of the leg- islature can be found who will say that while in the chair he has shown favoritism. To be governor, however, a man needs to be more than a fair pre- : siding officer. Speaker Dunn looks like Lincoln, but he doesn’t act like him and un- les he shows decided signs of im- provement it is not likely that he can ever hope to be the chiet execu- tive of Minnesota.

Washing Your Hands. ‘When you go to the washstand and carefully ‘wash your hands with a gen- erous application of soap and hard brush do not think for an instant that your hands are clean. The tenacious microbe refuses to be disturbed and clings to the flesh throughout the whole operation. There are some chem- ical compounds which will dislodge the busy bacilli to a certain extent, but not entirely. According to the in- vestigations of a medical authority of the Prussian army, the best results in the direction of giving the hands a sanitary cleaning are accomplished by the use of alcohol. A bath of pure alcohol will remove about 99 per cent of the germs. Where it is desired to clean the hands hygienically it s rec- ommended that the hands be not first washed with water, for this wiil so adulterate the alcohol that it cannot accomplish its work as effectively as otherwise.

The deeds of Doan’s Kidney Pills, For Bemidji kidney sufferers, Have made their local reputation. | Proof lies in the testimony of Be- midji people who have been cured to stay cured. Mrs. L. Kane, 615 Fourth St., Be- midji, Minn., says: “I was afflicted with kidney trouble for a number of years, My system was filled with uric acid that my kidneys failed to remove and I was often bothered by a shortness of breath. A few weeks ago I procured a supply of Doan’s Kidney Pills and I am well pleased with the results I have thus far re- ceived from their use. I intend to continue taking this remedy.” (Statement given in August 1907). G00D WORK Mrs. Kane was interviewed on October 6, 1910 and she said: “I am glad to again endorse Doan’s Kidney Pills. They effected a com- plete and permanent cure in my case.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

But inall the years when Sir Henry was breaking his neck to run back and forth between Victoria’s royal residences. and the cltles where he was playing, to set up his scenes and act for the old queen’s amusement and the entertalnment of her guests, he was never .once officially received by her at court.—-He had many private audiences, which were much the same for.him as. to have a chat with any other otd-lady; but, although he was the. possessor of a royal title, a favor. ite with the royal family and the greatest actor of'his age, he never was invited or “commanded,” as it is called, to Buckingham. palace.

Courage is resistance to fear, mas- | tery of fear, not absence of fear. Ex- cept a creature be part coward, it is not a compliment to. say it is brave; it is ‘merely a loose misapplication of the word. Consider the flea—incom- | parably the bravest of all the crea- tures of God if ignorance of fear were courage.

Thomas Hill, familiarly called Fem- my HIl, was, says Dr. Brewer, the original Paul Pry. It was from him | also. that Theodore Hook drew his | character of Gilbert Gurney. Planche in his “Recollections” says of Hill: | “Hls speclalty was the accurate infor- mation he could impart on all the pet- | ty details of the domestic economy of | his friends, the contents of their ward- robes, their pantries, the number of | Pots of preserves in thelr store closets | and-of the table napkins in their linen | presses, the dates of their births and | marriages, the amounts of their trades- | men’s bills and whether paid weekly} or quarterly.

He used to drive Matthews crazy by ferreting out his | whereabouts when he left London and | popping the information in some pa- per.” | Names In Electricity.
