The powers of reapportionment will thus be automatically delegated by the Constitution to the following legis* lature which will meet in 1917. “Mr. Congdon said the northern part of the state could not hope for. reapportionment until 1917. He thought, perhaps, that a bill might be passed at a special session. The last legislature was the first follow- ling the census of 1910 and had the power to deal with reapportionment. An extra session would possess the same constitutional functions. A faint smile played over Mr. Cong- don's face as he doubted that the gov- ernor will summon the legislators in special session. “The speaker discussed the unfair- ness of the present legislative repre- sentation, pointing out that Senator Boyle of Eveleth, represents 92,000 people while some Southern senators represent as few as 12,000. He told how some legislation was passed and how other bills were killed.” Your attention is called to the fact that the attorney general was in possession of all these facts when his opinion was made public at a critical moment in the career of the reap- portionment bill last winter.

In order to prove their case everything in the victim’s life is scanned in hopes that a bad record may be developed. Every means is employed to blacken his character, so that the detectives may make a killing. In my mind many a man has been the victim of these paid hirelings and sent to jail, by manufactured evidence, who guiltless of the crime charged. God pity the man who once gets in the clutches of these hounds. It is well for newspaper readers to take with a great degree of allowance the stories of the average detective, ‘whose main object is to convict his vietim.—Anoka Union. THE ONLY CHANCE Once upon a time this paper dared to suggest in 'the face of a contrary opinion from the attorney general, who, by the way, is said to wear a miniature governor’s desk for a watch charm, that it would not be possible, under the present constitu- tion, for the state legislature to re- apportion at any session other than one following a state or federal ' census.

Our teacher 'was telling us only a few days ago that the centennial of her birthday will be this month.” “That’s right,” said daddy, “and I guess you wouldn't have liked to be a little girl in those days. There were no amusements for children. There were no children’s books and even no Sunday schools, and what toys and fun the boys and girls had they had to provide for themselves. “And fathers and mothers weren’t the same as they are today. They loved their children just as much, but they were ashamed to show it. And to kiss anybody on Sunday would put you in prison. i “For instance, little Harriet was the only girl in her town who owned a doll, and that was made of wood, with glass buttons for eyes and hair made from a horse's tail. The paint on its cheeks came off at the very first wash- ing, the hair refused to stay glued on, and after awhile one eye got lost, but Harriet loved it just the same. = “She had no boughten clothes for Miss Woodenhead’— “Oh, daddy,” put in Evelyn, “didn’t the dolly have any other name than that?" “I don't know,” confessed daddy. ““‘Well, I'm sure she did,” said Evelyn firmly. “I guess you know, dearie,” answered daddy, and then he went on. “Little Harriet never even dreamed of a doll carriage or a parasol or a set of furs for her baby, but she made her a good warm frock out of an old dress of her own, made her a nice bed because she could get plenty of goose feathers and made a tea set out of acorns. “And she was very well satisfied and everything was lovely until one sad day she found that her brether Henry, who later became one of the greatest preachers in the world, had been playing Indian and had tomahawked poor Miss Woodenhead to pleces.” “What a shame!” said Evelyn. “I could almost cry.” “Well, Harriet never got another doll,” concluded daddy, “but she never grew tired of telling her own children of the beauties of that wonderful wooden baby.” L S UPPOSE 1 tell you tonight, Evelyn,” ~aid daddy, “about when Har- that you believe what you say and |ergy, in those who serve them and, that fact alone goes a long way to-|if they are weaklings, then the punch wards consummation of the sale. is given even greater value because When you look carefully over the |you exert a hypnotic influence by the written accounts of the men and |strenuosity of your desire to please. women who have made history and Punch must not be confounded been really great in all walks of life, | with “ginger.” The latter is a brac- you will find innumerable instances|ing up within yourself, a toning up of punch, showing clearly that suc-|of the body and mind to get the most cess was built on it, as much as on|out of your ordinary actions.
