He refers to Beltrami county as a jungle, know- ing full well that both the Pioneer and the Sentinel published at Bemidji will jump him, remarks the St. Paul Pioneer Press. What’s the use, Frank has been dizzy since the cam- paign of last fall and he cannot be judged as being entirely responsible for some of his irrational utterances. For the benefit of his own knowl- edge we would suggest that Day visit Bemidji, investigate agricultural con- ditions here, return to Fairmont and then tell the readers of his paper just what Beltrami really is. With the unanimous vote of the 55 senators present, Senator George H. Sullivan’s bill to prohibit the in- troduction of opium or other nar- cotics into any state. penitentiary or reformatory was passed by the sen- ate yesterday. This bill provides that “any person who brings, sends or in any manner causes to be in- troduced into a state prison or state reformatory of this state, or with- in the grounds belonging to any such institution, any opium, morphine, co- caine or other narcotic or any intoxi- catink liquor of any kind whatever, or any firearms, weapons or explo- sives of any kind, without the con- sent of the warden or the superin- tendent, shall be guilty of a felony and upon conviction shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for a term of not less than one year nor more than three years.” This measure is one which has long been needed. Fighting for Their Lives. Representative Spooner does not know human nature and the first law of self preservation if he imagines f | hampered.—Tower News. o | public, ‘or a. considerable :portion of he can put a quietus upon the efforts of those state employes who are seek- ink to keep their places by defeating the efficiency bill. It may be pos- sible and certainly it is right to ex- clude those employes from the legis- lative halls, but to prevent their im- portuning and arguing with mem- bers is " another proposition alto- gether. “Lobbying” is a much misunder- stood and abused term. The common and correct interpretation is improper work for some unapproved measure. There is a natural stigma connected with it. It is instinctively associa- ted with graft. One would never, for example, apply the term to effort and argument to secure the passage of a reapportionment bill or a bill to change the lines of a judicial distriet, It is connected up, as a matter. of course, with improper influénce to secure legislations, says thé St. Paul Dispatch. ‘We sympathize with the purpose of Mr. Spooner and with his zeal in be- half of the efficiency bill. That such a measure is necessary and desirable, and that it is bound to come in the fullness of time, we hold to be beyond controversy. - Obsolescence must give way in public as it has in general business administration. This bill opens the way; it puts the foot in the doorway and it never can be en- tirely closed again. But nothing that may be said or done will operate to prevent the small army of employes to fight for their official lives. The change that is com- ing must come in spite of the efforts of the jobholders to hang on. No law nor regulation can hush their clamor | ; or take their fingers out of the button- | . holes of those members who chance * to be friends or acquaintances. KR KRR K KRR KK KKK KK * EDITORIAL EXPLOSIONS * FREHE KKK KKK KKK KK KK Every appointive body of any con- sequence will take a poke at the plan of the efficiency commission, re- gardless of the welfare of the state at large. Nevertheless a set of laws embodying these plans should be en- acted to bring the affairs of the state up to a business standard. The plea of appointed ,officeholders that their duties cannot be done better is a weak one.—Aurora News. —_—— Legislative members are interest-; ing themselves in many matters these days. The “movies” are now to be husked of their horrors, as they should. Films as pure as the wing’, of a gull are asked for and no doubt! will be obtained in time.

The only] and proper way to remedy the matter is to have the. legislature meet to adopt or reject laws that have already been discussed.and demanded-by the it; Our experience with short extra sessions should give the cue in this matter. - The special session of 1912 ‘was the most valuable this state; e,vér had. -Also when the legislative body. meets to pass the budget, no other matter should be considered.—Holt Advertiser. —— If the present generation fails in appreciation of the value to thestate] of Itasca park, the time will come when posterity will make upfor it. But lack of appreciation-at this‘time may deprive posterity of its full en- joyment of this public beauty spot: The legislature should find it a duty to set aside enough money—it will take but little—to improve the park and maintain it. . The trouble is that too few Minnesotans know of Itasca park, and without knownedge, ap- preciation is impossible. - Maintain- ed and improved as it should be, this gem rescued from the destruction of: the northern woods will be a wonder-. ful and valuable asset ‘of the future. —St. Paul Dispatch. HH R KK KK KKK KKK K * AMERICAN WOMEN KNIT * * AS GRANDMOTHER DID * KRR KK KKK KK KKK KKK K New York, Feb. 3.—To mother, and the wife, and sister Mary. Watch your knitting. To Aunt Jane, you who learned to knit so long before the rest of us and smile so condescendingly at us now: ‘Watch out for YOUR. laurels. To Peter Sloveavish, of Poland: Greetings—from Danny, the Rat, of Sing Sing. In his cheerless, warswept cottage, Peter will open a package one of these days. In it he will find a muffler, heavy, warm, of gray woolen texture, and he will throw’ it about his neck, or perhaps give it to little Paul, or tiny Katherine, who may need it more than Peter. And he ‘will go forth on the snowy paths and hum a Polish folk song, for he will be warmer and happier to know that some one in far-off America has re- membered him. But he will never know who knitted his muffler. Peter’s muffler is being knitted to-. day “up the river.” A sharp-faced pickpocket, a burly con-man, or may- be a lifer, who has taken a life’and is paying for it, is knitting, knitting, counting one-stitch-drop-sti¢h, in the long hours after the tier of doors are locked and he is alone in his cell. Peter’s muffler may be well-knit- ted, though, for the pickpocket, thug, gun-man or fine-handed forger can drop a stitch and pick it up as well as well as you, or sister Mary or even Aunt Jane, who is the best Knitter in the family. There are five -hundred convicts knitting at Sing Sing. Mrs. Ernest Shelling, of the American Polish- Re- lief committee, taught them how. She was at the prison the other day and took her knitting along. Warden Os- borne said he was knitting, too. “We need mufflers for the Polish SAGE: TEA- KEEPS YOUR- HAIR: DARK s Grandmother‘s recipe to bring back color,’ thick id lustre— Everybod; Gray hair, however handsome, denotes | advancing age.-‘We all-know the advan- and needles, through donations to our children, women and mnon-combat- ants,” Mrs.-Shelling- told -him;*and| suggested that the prisoners might knit.

One of them was_ a big burly:fellow, perhaps a burglar, and I was sur- prised at the keen interest he took in the yarn. “He worked a few minutes, got the swing of it, and said: “ ‘Gee, this is fascinating.’ “Another of my first pupils was a Russian. ' He had knitted before and was glad to get his -hands on' the needles and yarn-again. “‘I've got a wife back in Russia,’ he said, ‘and she thinks I'm bad. Now P1l' write her that I-am-knitting for the Polish. < Then-she" will ' think more of me.’ “Four or five hundred of the con- victs volunteered to knit,” Mrs. Shel- ling continued.: “Warden Osborne told them of our committee’s work and the need of aid in Poland: where the devastation has been worse than in Belgium. “We are going to furnish the yarn committee here. Only mufflers, big and warm, will be knitted by the pris- oners at first.

It is their first opportu- nity to help, and, being unfortunates themselves, they, more than any one else, appreciate that misfortune needs relief. | “Our committee cannot work in other states; we have too much to do here, but I hope that prisons else- where take up the practice.” Mrs. Shelling’s visit to Sing Sing has aroused her interest in the pris- IF BACKACHY OR KIDNEYS BOTHER Eat -less_meat and take a giass of week. - 8T.
