Judge Dibell of the Duluth district court has declared unconstitutional the state law which provides that old sol- ders shall be given the preference in @tate appointments where they can ) qualify for the situation. The decision was in the suit of Al- bert Woolson against Governor Eber- hart. Mr. Woolson sought the office ; of deputy boiler inspector. He said he was an expert on boilers and an old soldier and claimed that Gov- ernor Eberhart violated the state law when he appointed another man to the place. This was the second case of this type to come up this spring, but the first case was dismissed on a techni- cality. SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR Oregon Plan of Electing Senators Now the Law in Minnesota. Governor Eberhart has signed the Keefe bill for the nomination of United States senators by direct vote of the ' people, making the Oregon plan a law in this state. The bill passed the house unanimously and there were but six opposing votes on the final passage of the measure in the senate. | James A. Tawney has questioned | the constitutionality of the law, but , the governor says that he can find no point at which the bill can be serious- | ty attacked along that line. | While he does not consider the bill perfect, it was passed by a large vote by the H legislature and as he believes in the Principle he could not justify ..mself | in vetoing it.

CANADIAN PACT Passes Measure by the Over- | whelming Vote of 265 to 89, | REJECTS ALL AMENDMENTS Agreement Goes Through in Atmost Identical Form tn Which It Passed Last House. Washington, April 22.—President Taft’s Canadian reciprocity agree- ment, supported by all but a handful of Democrats and opposed by a ma- jority of the Republicans, passed the house of representatives by a vote of 265 to 89. With nearly two hundred Democrats in control and their action endorsed by a large body of the Re- Publicans the bill to put the agree- ment in force was adopted with no amendments and in almost identically the form in which it passed the house in the last session of the preceding congress. The bill seeks to put into effect the formal agreement reached between President Taft and members of the Canadian cabinet for a reduction of tariff rates on many articles and free trade in many others across the Cana- dian border. Added to it by the Dem- ocratic leaders is a section which “au- | thorizes and requests” President Taft in darkness, are you now light in the | to make further efforts to secure still freer trade relations with Canada in the form of additional reciprocal re- lations. All Amendments Rejected. The passage of the bill marked the close of a tight that had raged in the house for six days. During that time the safety of the measure was at no | time threatened; but the Democratic and Republican leaders working for | its passage conceded all the oppor- tunity desired by its opponents for de- ; bate and protest against it. Follow- ing the same policy amendments were admitted in the house for almost every section of the bill and in each case they were rejected by an over- whelming vote given by the friends of the measure on both sides of the house on the theory that any amend- ment would nullify it. ‘ Ten Democrats voted against the bill on its passage, while 197 Demo- crats voted for it. As in the case when the bili passed at the preceding session of congress a majority of the Republicans were found against it, the party vote being 67 for and 78 | opposed. Representative Berger of Wisconsin, the Socialist member, voted for it and Representative Aiken of New York, who ranks as independ- ent, voted against it. NORTHWESTERN MEN’S PART Nearly All Cast Their Votes Against Agreement. Washington, April 22.—Representa- tive Hammond of Minnesota was one of the eleven Democrats who voted against the Canadian reciprocity agreement in the house. The Minne- sotan resisted all the demands made upon him by the Democratic leaders to stand in line for the bill reported favorably by the committee on ways and means, of which he ise a member. Representatives Davis, Volstead, Steenerson and Lindbergh voted against the Canadian bill, as they did in the last congress. Representatives Stevens, Miller and Nye, consistent with the record they made on the sub- ject a few months ago, voted for Ca- nadian reciprocity. Representative Sydney Anderson of the First district, the raw recruit in | the delegation, voted against the agreement. Representatives Martin and Burke of South Dakota and Hanna and Helgesen of North Dakota voted against the bill. CANNON ATTACKS THE PRESS Denounces Attitude Taken in Fight for Free Print Paper. Washington, April 20.—A bitter de- nunciation of newspaper influence in connection with the fight over free print paper legislation during the last national campaign was made by for- mer Speaker Joseph G. Cannon in a vigorous speech in the house, in con- nection with his opposition to the Canadian reciprocity bill. Representatives Hanna of North Da- | kota, Nelson of Wisconsin and Sloan of Nebraska also attacked the agree- ment in the debate in the house. RECIPROCITY STILL TO FORE First on Legislative Plans of Canadian | Government. Ottawa, Ont. April 20.—Both the senate and house resumed following the Easter recess. Both parties will caucus to consider the programme for the remainder of the session. The question of securing a vote upon the reciprocity agreement still is foremost in the plans of the government lead- ers and a member of the house pre- dicted that parliament will ratify the | agreement within a fortnight. j What Makes iin Separators Good Or Bad It takes something besides cast iron; read paint and hot air to make aseparator that will skim milk clean twice a day 365 days in the year for 15 or 20 years. If some of the farmers who are thinking of buy- —— ing a cream separator q a this season, and have \ # been half persuaded by extravagant advertising to ‘‘save one-third the cost’ by buying a ma- chine of the ‘‘just-as- good-as the De Laval’”’ or the ‘mail-order’ kind could only listen to the experience of a few of the thousands of the users of such machines who have traded them in for De Lavals during the past year. they would be forcibly reminded of the old adage which runs “Save at the spout and waste at the bunghole.’’ Any competent separa- tor mechanic with ea knowledge of materials and high-class separa- tor construction will te you that the marvel is, not that ‘mail order’ machines are sold so cheaply, but that they succeed in getting the price they do. High-grade separators cannot be manufactured like harves_ ters, plows and other farm machinery. A properly built sep- arator is almost as delicate and exacting in its construction and measurements as a watch. De Laval machines are constructed in the best equipped cream separator factory in the world by skilled workmen. The very highest grade of material we can get is used in all wearing parts, and our limit of variation in most measurements is less than one two-thousandth of an inch. Before you decide upon the purchase of a cream separator be sure to SEE AND TRY A DE LAVAL It will only be a question of time before you get a DK LAVAL anyway, 80 why no} save yourself a lot of costly sep arator experience by atating right with the DE LAVAL?
