The men who voted for the miser- able little mileage steal in tne tederal house uf representatives ought to be marked for permanent discredit and defeat. This is the most wretched and indefensible form of graft. One would not less repelled, but he would have less disgrace fur a bold raid involving millions than for this form of pilfering, by which each member would stuff a few hundred dollars in his pocketbook and walk off with it. ‘There is not a syliable of defence to be uttered in behalf of this dis- honesty, which even the easy going senate could not swallow. The spec- ial session and the regular session at the beginning of the life of this con- jgress ended and began at same in- Stant of time. Ove was adjourned and the other the next instant called to order, and work progressed with- out interruption. Yet in the mythi- cal interval between these two periods many things were suppressed to take place. Among them were vacancies in office and the sending in by the president of nominations. Among them tbe members of the house have chosen to imagine that-| there occured trips to their homes, and back again. For these wholly fictitous journeys they -propose to pay themselves mileage out of the federal treasury. We do not see how any man who yoted fur this proposition can ever again look his constitueats in the face, The whole system of paying mile- age ought to be done away with. It opens the door to just such jobs as thi Everybody knows that com- paratively few senators and repre- sentatives pay a cent for their trans- portation. They ride on passes. Even those who pay their fare, pay the regular passenger rate; which is not to exceed three cents per mile, and Jess than that'in some states and on some forms of transportation, The milage allowance is twenty cents per mile. There is not reason for this difference.

Ist, The league urges in be- half of the bill that it is impossible forthe hunters to tell the difference between a partridge and a prairie chicken when it is flushed and that the pothunters begin killing part- ridges about Sept. 1, anyway. so that the hunter who ubserves the law and waits for the open season rarely gets a chance to obtain any birds. Both of these are valid reasons for the change. The present law was devised with the intent of giving the city sportsman an opportunity to hunt praire chickens and grouse first and later to go after partridges, but the results have been different from what were contemplated. The sea- sop for all kinds of grouse should begin on Sept. 1 and last not longer than thirty days, if there is a desire tosave the species from extermina- Lion. The second amemdment desired by the club is to have the open deer season begin cn Oct. 25 and end on Nov, 15, so that the sportsmen will have somewhat better weather for their outings. The weather usually becomes too cold for comfort during the latter part of November. This amendment is not so important as that relating to partridges, but there are several things in its favor. There will be less tracking snow between the earlier dates, which will some- what offset the advantage of better weather, The league does not seem to have { STRONG TICKET given cunsideration to the question of providing some amendment to the law which will have a tendency to prevent the large number of man- killings during the deer season, but this is rather a difficult subject to tackle and besides the last killing took place so long ago that perhaps the members of the league have already forgotten about it.—Duluth Herald. Tear Down Doors 'To Hear Bryan. A large crowd of three thousand persons tore down the massive doors Plymouth Congregation church io Minveapolis in a frantic endeavor to rush into the building to hear an address by W. J. Bryan under the auspices of the Central and Universi- ty Y. M. C. A. organization. About half succeeded in entering the building and before they departed a collection was taken up for the pur- pose of raising $75 with which to pay for repairing the damage which the inob had caused in its mad rush. The church was thronged from floor to gallery and there was no standing room unoccoupied. Mayor Jones presented Mr. Bryan ina neat speech in which he said that three of the best beloved Ameri- can citizens have within the past few days appeared upon the paltform to address the men of the Y. M.C. A, These men were Groyer Cleveland, President Rvosevelt and Mr. Bryan, who is an active worker of the Lin- coln Neb., Y. M. C. A. Mr. Bryan had no text. The nearest approach to one was the quotation of a section from the scripture in which Christ was termed the Prince of Peace. His argument was alone the lines of peace. He maintained that wealth did not bring peace, for a man spent half of his life in securing weath from others and the remainder was devoted Lo an attempt to prevent ovber persons from taking it from bim. .# Great political preferment did not bring peace, for few could attain the high office of president, governor and Mayor. perfect peace was to follow in the footsteps of Christ and practice his command.to love one’s: neighbor as himself. Mr, Bryan did not speak for raore tuan a few moments, but he wasgiven the close attention, and the exer- cises clused with the singing of “America” in which the entire con- gregation joined.—St. Paul Globe. Strength For Northern Markets. Whether or not meterorological conditions shall change, and the re- mainder of the month of March be cold and. stormy, will make little difference vo the loggers of the nurth- era woods. The early warm weather has played havoc with the logging roads, aud any amount of hard weath- er during the remaining week of spring will not make up for the dam- age that has already been done. In torthern Minnesota many icy roads have turned to water, and many log- ging contracts are incomplete by mil- lions of feet, The cold weather dur- ing the latter part of January and the early part of last month was just right for the cutting of timber, and the loggers were making up for the softer conditions of the early winter. Then, just as they got all ready to haul the logs to the landings and the railroad loading tracks, the weather changed, and the crops are only partly haryested. While condi- tions are somewhat better in the ex- treme northern part of Wiscomin and the upper peuinsula of Michigan. a few more days of high temperature will put the loggers of those sections to the bad. The camps of the northern part of this state are breaking up much earlier than usual, and the men are coming to town in large numbers. The only true way to obtain. Even should the weather turn cold | again the men will be away, and and work cannot be resumed on any- thing like the scale of the mid-winter. There will be a shortage of pine logs available for the mills the coming summer. Millions of feet will have to be left in the woods where it was felled. Like conditions prevail in the white cedar camps, with perhaps, a smaller proportionate famount of stock cut and lying where it will not be possible to get it out. But the crops will be short fully twenty-five per cent, according to conservative estimates,Jand many of the cedar producers ure glad of it. The cedar market was not good Jast year, and | prices have been unsatisfactory. Re- gardless uf this, hewever, the small and the large operators have been out for a lot of stock this winter, and had conditions remained favorable the cverplus of supply would have prevented the hope for increase fin | values, IS ELECTED | The Herald-Review is particularly well pleased with the council elected on Tuesday of this week to conduct the affairs of this municipality for the next twelve months. As predicted a week ago in these columns, George Riddell was unanimously re-elected as president of the council for the en- suing year, and I. D, Rassmussen and George H_ Becker were retained on the council because of their splendid qualifications as village fathers, The deteat of Recorder Gole was largely due to the fact that he did not covet re-election. In his place was elected the most competent man that has ever resided in Grand Rapids. Geo, C. McAlhster will serve with a fidelity to public interests that will increase his popularity with the people who made his election possible. A. E. Wilder, the new member of the council, will give the same con- scientious service to the village that characterized him in times past as the premier of all the county commission- ers that ever served Itasca county. Fou treasurer, F. A. King will give complete satisfaction to the tax pay- ers of the village. For President Geroge Riddell “" -' | 360 For Trustees I. D. Rassmussen - $ 303 H. G.
