O'Neill of Thief River Falls deserves the thanks of every person in Northern Minne- sota for his able championship of re- anpo{"timnnent at this session and for the stand he took on the so-called “six senator” bill, which is a pro- rosed amendment to the constitution, limiting the representation in the tenate to six from any one county, and is but a blind to delay reappor- tionment.—Warren Sheaf.

Republicans and Democrats of Min- nesota hold conventions and adopt platforms last year?

A peasant leaves his home to seek | for work as a field iuborer wherever { he can find work to do, and, like every | Russiuan, male and female, he takes his passport with him, which is quite as much a part of him as his soul is. It is always a half yearly passport, which he must renew at the end of six months, sending it home in a reg- istered letter to an offiical at his na- tive place and inclosing the legal fee and something over for the trouble The time of renewal draws near: the workman gets a demand for a new passport. Through official neglect or other reason the passport fails to come in time. The honest workingman, who is earning his bread in the sweat of his brow and by the practice. per- haps of exceptional sobriety is trying to earn a pittance for his family, is | arrested suddenly and sent home— | that s, is flung into a forwarding | prison, whence he emerges to join a convict party, which contain the crenm of criminality. and is made to suffer torments before he gets home. When he arrives he gets his passport and is | a free agent—once more a.loyal sub- ! ject.—E. B.

Would you re-enforce this by overloading his stomach with highly | spiced food and add all the narcotics | that were in the market, such as tea, icon‘ee, ete.? Would you keep him in | a hented stable without any fresh air, | make him sit up at all hours of the | { night and permit all the veterinarians | in the neighborhood to. hold consulta- | tions and operate upon him as often as they needed the money?

The Inca period has left us remark- able traces, especially in the magnifi- cent roads. Broad, beautiful turn- plkes, now only partially preserved, run for a distance of over 2,000 miles from the coast to the plateau and the foot of the highest peaks. We marvel at the skill of the Inca engineers, es pecially in the maguificent stairways hewn in the rock, in the filling up of deep ravines, in the paving with pon- derous flags. In several places have been found the remaius of a former as- phalt covering to these roads. At cer- tain intervals are found the ruins of custom houses and laid out grounds and fortifications, of which the most interesting specimen is the fortress of Cuzco, built about the year 1000, and plundered and destroyed by Pizarro in 1543.—Century Path.

DELAY IN- GETTING - BAIL, Men Are Taken to Jail Followed by a Jeering Crowd and Will Be Re:| tained Until Bond Is Given—War. rant Has Been Issued for Detective ‘Burns, but Constables Are Unable to Lacate Him. Indianapolis, April 26.—Walter Drew of New York, counsel for the National Brectors’ association; W. Joseph Ford, assistant district attorney of Los An- geles, and Frank Fox, a chauffeur,! charged with having kidnapped J. J. McNamara, secretary treasurer of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, were ‘ar- raigned. before Justice of the Peace Manning. They waived preliminary examination and were bound over to| the grand jury. William J. Burnsy detective em- ployed by the Erectors’ association, who arrived in this city from Toledo, was sought by constables with a war- rant for his arrest on the charge of kidnapping McNamara, but they could not find him. * Drew, Ford ‘and Fox, when first ar-| rested, were released under bond of | $5,000 each for Drew and Ford and $3,000 for Fox. Their bond to hold | them for the grand jury was set by | the justice at $10,000 each for Drew and Ford and $5,000 for Fox. Men Are Taken to Jail. i The expected bondsmen not appeat—‘ ing the justice’s clerk summoned con- | stables to take Drew and Ford to| Jail. By this time the little court- room, the hallway and the narrow stairway leading down to the street was filled with a noisy crowd. 3 The clerk of the court started first with Ford. Drew hung back. “Come on, Drew,” yelled a number of men pressing from the hall into the doorway of the courtroom.

Conspiracy Is Alleged. The general charge against the men is that they conspired to take McNa- mara out of the state “without due process of law.” 1t is alleged he did not have an op- portunity to consult counsel and resist extraditlon after his arrest last Satur- day evening. After Governor Marshall had honored requisition papers for McNamara, Police Judge Collins turned turned him over to Police Ser- geant Hossick of Los Angeles. He was put into an automobile driven by Fox and taken to Chicago Saturday night, bound for Los Angeles, to an- complicity in a dynamite explosion at the Llewellyn Iron works. A. F. Badorff of New York, an as- sistant of Drew, was arrested by three constables at his room in the Clay- pool hotel later in the day and taken before Justice of the Peace Manning. Badorff was taken in custody on a “John Doe” warrant, six of which ‘were issued by Justice Manning, on charges of kidnapping and conspiracy. to kidnap.
