T. Mueller looked last Thursday Just
as if he had enjoyed holiday trade up
to the present time. But the cause was
different. It's daughter that makes
him smile.

state. -' .l- {.
= H. 3. Constans died at lis home at
sol Portland Ave, St. Paul, last Thurs
day evening" Mr.. Constans was once
one of New Ulm's leading citizens. For
ten years he was attorney for the county
and for at least four terms he was cleo
ted to fill the office Of county auditor.
As mayor of the city he also honored
himself and his home, and enjoyed uni
versal respect. Since his departure from
New Ulm he has resided in st. Paul, but
his visits to New Ulm were frequent and
always welcome.
The resolution discharging Prof. Nix
alleges failure ''to take proper interest
in the good and welfare of said schools
and to perform his duties as superinten-
dent" This was passed by vote of 5
to 1,but as no fair-minded and intelligent
citizen took any stock therein, the sup
porters Of the resolution had to get to.
gether and offer an explanation. This
explanation alleges that the superinten
dent was discharged because of his con-
tinued opposition to the boards plans
for the promotion Of the schools. (which
by the way, lis utterly unfounded) and
because of his offensive remarks and his
failure to make peace with the
Board and his very apparent
willingness to sacrifice the interests of
the schools to crafty his personal dis
like for members of the board shown
clearly in his determination to prevent
or delay much needed Improvements in
the course of study and general manage
ment of our high school. Each and
every one of these allegations is false.
Nix has never stood in the way of i'm
provement, unless it be that the Board
deems every one of its uonsenslcal move :
as being strictly in the line of improve
ment. The fact that he opposed Milne
is not an evidence that he opposed i'm
provements for Milne was never fit for
the position to which he was elected and
it was the Board that evinced balkiness
in this particular procedure. The fact
that he drew up a splendid plans and
program for four years. course in Or
der to make the high school preparatory
to the State University is certainly not
evidence of opposition to Improvement,
and the fact that he stated that no one
wanted that change more than he is still
less proof of antagonism or lack of in
terest. The fact that he upheld perma-
nent tenure in opposition to the Board is
equally positive proof that he was not
opposed to steady advancement. The
fact of the matter is that the Board has
been devising retrogresslve movements
and either Didn't know enough or was
too obstinate tn see it. But this is rot
the feature we started to point out. You
will notice that the resolution and the
explanation do not agree, but that both
were agreed to unanimously by all five
members of the board, They always vote
solid.
"The brigadier rings the caucus bell,
The doueh-face cries sFor shame!''
I'll not be bossed by the brigadier;
But he gets there just the same.''
