It is a sad message which comes from the state capitol to the effect that Governor Eberhart is unable to see the handwriting on the wall. Sad to the governor’s friends be- cause they see in the attitude which he now assumes an end to future hon- or for him. Sad to the struggling North be- cause she had looked toward the executive office in the people’s mighty marble palace at St. Paul as a shel- ter in the time of storm. L B “I note what you say as to the at- titude of the executive committee,” writes the governor to Secretary Mackenzie. What Secretary Mackenzie had to. say of the executive committee of the Northern Minnesota Development as- sociation we know not, but we have a right to presume that the secretary was in a position to hand the gover- nor a crumb or comfort. The Pioneer has' expressions from every member of the executive com- mittee, with exception of W. E. Rich- ardson of Duluth, who is ill. H. J. i i Maxfield, of \Vadena, presi- | dent of the association and chairman of the executive committee, is on rec- ord as being opposed to mixing poli-" tics—and he looks upon reapportion- ment as a political issue—with the | work of the development association, | but that he will be governed by the voice of the St. Cloud convention. W. R. Mackenzie, of this city, sec- ond member of the committee, has s N . ¢, | said: “I believe in an extra session | of the legislature for reapportion-! meut‘ but reapportionment only.” W. J. Brown, of Warren, refuses to express any opinion on the subject. M. N. Koll, the remaining member of the commmittee, recognizes the governor’s talk at Brainerd as a promise for an e{tra session, but pleads for fair play. “Let’s give lum a chance; let’s let him call an extra session, at our request, if we want it,” says Mr. Koll. * * % Ther'e you have the attitude of the executive committee, and it must be conceded that it has a friendly lean toward oGvernor Eberhart. But it must be remembered that the execu- tive committee went on record be- fore the governor qualified on his Brainerd pledge or before he indi- cated it would be pleasanter for him not to call an extra session. It is more than likely that the committee felt that Governor Eber- hart was ready to stand by his im- plied pledge made at Brainerd and that if the North united in its de- mand for an extra session, that the governor readily would take such ac- tion. L The North is becoming accustomed to disappointments, so that the atti- tude now assumed by the governor will be looked upon only as an inci- dent in the struggle for fair play. The letter from the governor to Mr. Mackenzie alone makes his attitude plain. Reading between the lines it is easy to see this: “Kill off that extra session cry at St. Cloud.” x * % But if that were not convincing enough we have these words from the lips of Governor Eberhart made on Wednesday of this week. I have also to say something about criticisms that I did not call the extra session to pass re- apportionment, I said I would call such a session if nothing were done about reapportion- ment by the Legislature. Some- thing was dont; so much, in fact, that it is apparent that to call an extra session would be mere folly. It might make me popular to go up and down the state shout- ing in favor of extra sessions to increase railroad gross earn- ing taxes and the 'like, but if popularity must come through being a demagogue or employing muck-rake methods, then I think there are a few of us who would perfer to be unpopular. %k 1f it is the governor’s desire to be- come unpopular it seems to us that he struck the right course when he attempted to dodge his Brainerd pledge and when he gives reappor- tionment the glassy stare when a year ago he was bubbling over with fight for it. Folly to call an extra session, he says. Why did he use the words extra session at Brainerd? He knew at that time that an extra session would be made up of the same men. They did act on reapportionment, !the governor says. And the fact remains that the only bill ever considered by the senate was the Congdon bill which wasn't fair to the North, by a jugfull. Southern senators who voted against this bill tell the Pioneer they {will vote for a fair bill. Where then is the folly in calling| an extra session? * ok o The governor's attitude doesn't look pretty at all when such men as our own A. G. Wedge,Jr., banker, a member of the state forestry board, treasurer of the immigration com- mission of the Northern Minnesota development association, and a man of conservation views, will join with many other men of just as high standing in such expressions as: Now, I believe by calling such a session the governor will strengthen his position through- out the state, both north and south. And with present pled- ges from senators who opposed the reapportion measures of last winter, giving sufficient encour- agement that a just and equit- able measure can be passed at a special session. 1 BE- LIEVE GOVERNOR EBER- HART SHOULD RISE TO THE OCCASION, AND MAKE GOOD HIS IMPLIED PROMISE to the Northern Minnesota Develop- ment association. = Northern Minnesota will not view with- out protest the absolute disre- gard of justice so far as poli- tical representation is concern- ed. At this moment it seems certair that a resolution will be passed ai the St. Cloud convention calling up- cn Governor Eberhart to reconvenc the legislature this winter. Ever) movement, but the people appear t be too thoroughly aroused to permit anyone to smother their wishes. Governor Eberhart is up against the real thing.

Word has come, according to re- port from Canada, to managers of moving picture films that no Ameri- can flag pictures are wanted. A French play called “Through the Wall"” will be tried out in Los An- geles and, if found satisfactory, will be used by James K. Hackett. Marguerite Clark and Walter Jones are being featured this season in Wm. A. Brady’s production of Mar- garet Mayo’'s comedy “Baby Mine."

Each member of the cabinet is sup- plied with a key which fits the lock ef a certain dispatch box retained by the prime minister. At any particular crisis, when important papers reach Downing street, the premier, after perusing them. places them in the dis- patch box and hands the box to a spe- cial messenger, who takes it round to 2ach member of the cabinet in succes- sfon. Each member opens it with his key and relocks it after he has read the documents it contains. In this iwdy the papers are prevented from falling into the hands of strangers or members of parlinment who are not in the cabinet. Now and again it is found neces: [ro print coples of a “secret” which comes up for discussion at a meeting | .of the cabinet. The document is cut up into many small pieces and dis- trlbuted among a goodly number of compositors in the government print- ilng works, each of whom sets up his little piece, and the little piece may lrepresent only a dozen lines of type. i When all the fragments are in type a highly trusted official collects both the copy and the type and puts the latter together. The printing of the docu- ,ment is then done in secret under the jeyes of this officlal, and the men who jwork the printing machine are for- "bidden to handle any of the paper after it is printed upon.—National Magazine.

The Chinese Get Them With a Baited Net and a Decoy Bird. Every year, according to an old cus- tom, in the second quarter of the Sep- tember or Qctober moon, the inhabit- ants of the Chinese province of Shan- tung go to Mongolia to hunt the eagles which abound in that region. The huntsmen march in troops along the roads, carrying on their shoulders long | poles from which are suspended their | baggage and provisions and on which | are perched tame eagles to be used as | decoys. i The hunters make use of a large net, | spread open on the ground aud baited with small dried fishes, in the midst { of which is placed a tame eagle. The | decoy naturally begins to devour the bait and thus invites its wild -ousins to follow its example. When the birds have alighted and are feeding the %hunter, from bis biding place two or three hundred yards distant, quickly closes the net by means of cords and i thus captures the eagles. i Eagle hunting is very lucrative. The Ifeathers are used in the manufacture jof fans and are soid at a high price |even in China. There are three sorts— Kicpei, black with white centers; Che- ma, white spotted with black; Tout- | sing. half white and half black. Sev- | eral eagles contribute to the making of a fan, for only a small part of the plumage can be utilized; hence these fans are very costly. | ANIMAL EVOLUTION. 1 ‘Changes In the Partridges of the Ca- nary Islands. A remarkable example of the effects of environment and changed condi- tions of life upon the forms of ani- wals is furnished by a species of par- tridge living in the Canary islands Orver 400 years ago the Spaniards in- troduced the red legged tridge from Europe into these islands, and the bird has continued to flourish there; but, as recenl examination proves, it has un- dergone modifications ciearly brought about by the conditions under which it liv Its back has turned from russet color 1o gray. This looks like pro- tective coloration, since the bird passes its life among gray voleanie rocks. Its alk as become one-fourth long: wd thicker than that of its ancestors and of its European rela- tives., and its legs also have increased in length and grown stouter. These change: re exactly such ag were needed to suit it.to the life that it is now compelled to lead amid the rd on the mountain sides of ands, where @ more rigorous I development is required than needed in its former home.—Har- per's Weekly.
