Yet every printer in the land knows that since the or ganization of the General Paper company the paper upon which this newspaper is printed has cost twice as much as it did pre vious to the organization of the company and eyery printer in the land knows that it is the Gen eral Paper company that has done it. This is perhaps the principal reason why business is duller than it was two years ago. The trusts are getting a better grip. The retailer makes smaller and smaller margins while the price of all commodities is gradually pushed up and up. What are we going to do about it?"

RockIsland Svstem wir fc and business men generally are making less money today than two years ago. More over they are making narrower profits oh their sales. Why is this?. It seems to be afact while busi ness has fallen off beginning with the beginning of the presidential campaign, prices haye steadily advanced, so that the wholesale price of many commodities to day is almost equal and in some cases greater- than the retail price of two years ago. A cer tain brand of overshoes, for in stance, is sold in Bemidji today for less than actual cost, the sell ing price having remained the same while the wholesale price has steadily advanced.

"Well, you have been against the wheel before, so you know how a gambler goes broke," con soled his friend. "Yes, I invested in mining stock when I married, sure, and find I got all assessments and no dividends. She was as gentle as a Cyclone and as loving as a barb-wire ience. The only time she was good natured was after eating a hearty meal, but she starved to death.. When she was dead the preacher says to me, 'the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away', and the only answer I could think of giving him was, 'yes the Lamb taketh away the sin of the world.' But the woman I have my eye on now is of a different breed. She is gentle as a kitten and as sweet as dandelion in a haystack." "The fruit that looks the sweetest sometimes has the bit ter taste." V\r-.~- "But the fellow who has been bitten by a mad dog~is apt to be careful of the next dog he pets. I've studied this one and I know she has the gentleness of an angelshe was never mad in her life. Last week she came home and found the neighbor's cows in her garden, destroying the corn. She looked surprised, then turned to me and said, 'If the roads were paved with gold, some people would still get off in to the fields." "Perhaps she did not like corn, anyhow." '^1 was at her place one day when she burned a swell cake she was cooking. It didn't weaken her smile a bit." "Some people smile in com pany, to curse in private." "We were out boatriding one day when a storm came up and soaked her best Sunday clothes. She took it as a joke, and said, 'I guess the man in the clouds thinks we need a bath." "Perhaps she thought a bon net spoiled was not worth as much as a husband saved." "Only yesterday she was hang ing out a big washing when the clothesline broke and the mud flew spattering. I heard her laughing, and thats how I hap pened to notice what" "She laughed when the line broke!" The cynic rose to his feet with staring eyes. "And you wasting your time telling me this while she remains unmar ried. Run, man, run. Get her quick and don't take a second's chance for losing such a prize."

St. Paul, March 7.The house com mittee'on judiciary Monday won in a spirited talking match as to the pro- cedure to be adopted in tue consiuera tion and final passage of" the revised code. The bill is to be considered, chapter by chapter, together with the amend ments which have already been adopt ed, and further amendments, if offered, and the code then put upon its final passage. To test the temper of the house and to offer a protest against what he in timated was a well laid plan to railroad the bill through, W. D. Washburn, Jr., of Minneapolis asked cosideration of a resolution in which was incorporated a plan of procedure. It provided for the consideration ot two chapters a day. or a total of eight days for the entire bill, and demanded of the judiciary that during such con sideration it explain in detail each of the amendments agreed to in commit tee The resolution was combated vigor ously, W. B. Anderson and other mem bers of the judiciary committee taking the lead. Mr. Anderson denied that there was any scheme on foot to railroad the bill through the house. After considerable more argument there arose cries of "question," and finally Speaker Clague put the motion. The judiciary committee won and won handsomely. Mr. Washburn had only a handful of supporters. The Code Taken Up. After the discussion the code was taken up, and finally, when the house took a recess-until 2 o'clock,-- eight chapters on the code had been consid ered and disposed of. Six chapters and their amendments were disposed of at a two hours' ses sion in the afternoon. Minor changes were made in the chapter relating to school laws. There seeifred to be a general ten dency to get rid of the affair and hand It over to the senate. J. H. Dorsey of McLeod county would discourage the giving of cam paign, contributions by corporations, and offered a bitt-directed at that end, In the house. The giving of such contributions to a candidate or a political committee is construed as a felony, and in case of conviction it is optional with the court to impose a $1,000 fine or imprison ment for one year in state's prison. That there may be no escape from the provision of the proposed law every agent or member of a corpora tion sanctioning a contribution is made amenable to punishment. B. H. Timberlake offered a bill ap propriating $485,000 for a new main building at the university. The appropriation covers a period of five years, and is to be met by a tax of one-tenth of a mill, which shall be anticipated by the issuance of state certificates of indebtedness. While the board of control has juris diction in the placing of contracts and the construction of the building, the university people have the right to say what kind of a building shall be con structed. For this purpose a commission of five, to be named by the president of the university, is provided and to it the plans must be submitted for ap proval. It is also to be consulted in the construction and equipment of the proposed building. To Prevent Adulteration of Meat. Stringent regulations are pro.ided in a bill designed .to prevent the adul teration of meat, offered by I. W. Bouch of Morrison county. The sale of veal from calves less than four weeks old is prohibited. No preserva tives are permitted in sausage or can ned meats, and in case of violation a $50 fine is provided. Under the terms of a bill offered by J. R. Morley of Steele county the killing of quail and squirrels is pro hibited until 1910. It is understood to have the sanction of the game and fish commission. H. C. Block's bill, limiting the' profit of the state on prison binding twine to one cent a pound, was recommended to pass in the house committee of the whole. A heavily signed petition was re ceived by the house from Otter Tail county, asking for the passage ofj, county option law. If the legislature should pass a bill Introduced by G. H. Wyman of Anoka a repetition of the big Equitable as surance society fight in Wisconsin will be enacted in Minnesota. Mr. Wy man's bill provides that mutual life in surance companies shall make dis tribution of their surplus among policy- holders as often as Is required by their charters. Some companies provide a distribution every two years, others once in three years and others once in five. Mr. Wyman's bill makes*.five years the maximun period. S. F. No. 109, by Brower, appro priating ?50,000 for a woman's dormi tory at the St. Cloud normal school was passed. Many members of the senate were present during the session.
