MINNEAPOLIS,
NOTE AND COMMENT.

The SaddeSt feature OF the O0aru OF
education's refusal to re-elect DR.. j. K.
Bradley as superintendent of schools is
thatit will be taken as direct affront to
Plymouth church and the Journal. The
dear old soul who manages the destinies
of the last named institution has been
giving herself good deal of unneces-
Sary trouble over the likelihood of
the board of education seeing fit
to elect some other man as super
intendent of schools. An attempt will
be made, without doubt. to show that
DR.. Bradley is a martyr to political
partisanship. But it will be only an at
tempt, and q lame one. A. G. Austin
and Rev. M. f. Gjertsen, both of them
Staunch Republicans. voted for q. M.
Jordan as DIR. Bradley's successor. AS
matter of fact, both of them were
the strongest opponents that DR..
Bradley had on the board, and
they have been members OF
the board long enough to find out
whether they want him or not. That
the Minneapolis public school system
has grown and prospered since DR..
Bradley took charge of the superin-
tendent'S Office is not to be credited to
him entirely. He has been backed and
assisted all the time by board of high
character, and if the facts be examined
il will be found that the members OF
the board have done as much for the
cause of education as he has. That he
has been capable superintendent is
no rea son why Mr.. Jordan should not
be as good, or even better. DR.. Brad
ley's service of two terms in the office
does not entitle him to a life lease of
the place. The administration of the
business of a nation is fully as lmpor-
tant as the administration of the busl-
ness of the Minneapolis public school
system. Yet, many men of habits OF
deep thought urge that no man should
be elected president for more than one
term. An occasional shaking up. and
the infusion of little ginger, is good
thing for any Office.
A Mrs. Shearer has asks the courts to
give her a share in the profits of con-
Germ in which she was silent partner.
The other members of the firm would be
better pleased had she maintained her
silence.
1t is satisfying to learn from an even
ing paper that Auditor LedgerwoOd
read the governors message sin a we'll
modulated voice." How dreadful the
consequences might have been had
Ledgerwood simply read that communi-
cation!
NJ. w. Nash's good Republican hat'
accomplished the same end at the meet
ing of the county commissioners as all
things Republican--the election of a
Democrat.
1.-THE Journal is right just the same"
the conclusion Of an editorial on DR..
Bradley and the Journals defense OF
him. Why. bless your heart, your sex
entities you to the prerogative of assert
ing that without contradiction. But
people do Say-neyer mind what.
This is the season for Minnesota ma
pie sugar. A young boy was seen run
ming down the street yesterday holding
both hands over the pit of his stomach,
and his face screwed up with painful
expression. Some one asked him:
''Where are you going, my boy?'
"Home," was the answer.
"What in the thunder is the matter
with you?'
"Been eatin' maple sugar." was the
reply in Sobbing voice.
No wonder the boy was in hurry to
get home.
All Chief Henderson needs to do now
Is to hang out sign mo trouble to
show goods" and he will have full

BY the way, the detectives ought to be
able to be pretty we'll dressed this
spring.
A wife sues a husband for the recov
cry of certain property and money, yet
an evening paper, in speaking OF it,
say: Issued by silent partner" If
that paper spoke the truth in referring
TO her as "a silent partner" the dime
museum need look no further for a
curiosity.
After the board of education meeting
yesterday a reporter who rode down in
the elevator with Dr. Bradley wondered
how it would feel to drop the full
twelve stories. DR.. Bradley said moth
Ing, but his looks spoke volumes.
