Do We Want the Township System for
the Common Schools of Minnesota:
To the Editor:
1t may seem presumption for me to haZ-
ard an opinion contrary to that of the
state superintendent of schools; but as he
says. ''the proof of the pudding is the eat
ing and as 1 raised where the town
ship system was in operation, and having
had an opportunity of comparing it with
our present system, 1 am fully convinced
that we do not want the change.
Our present system is near to the peo
pie; each district elects it's own officers
and there are always enough men who
deem it an honor to fill those positions,
and who, by reason of being elected as
members of the school board, take more
interest in the schools than they other
wise would. Under the present system
each district receives the benefit of the
taxes paid for school purposes, and can
build and furnish their school houses as
they see fit.
Under the township system there is al,
ways more or less jealousy and pickering

Kind Words for Senator CrOnkhfte. b
To the Editor.
1 understand that my subscription to your
valuable paper is close to it's end, and
therefore send 81 to renew for another

in such times as the present can be with-

From this northwestern part of the state
it is not very much to be seen, owing to
the fact that the Populsts are on top, and

People up here are very proud of our
senator, Hon. j. Q. Cronkhite for his eff
fort to do some good for the farmers and
the whole people in general, no matter il
his efforts are in vain. We don't expect
any better. He IS there all right enough,
and the poor Republicans claim to own
him. That's right; let them come; we
neither refuse fuse when the G. O. L.
gives little credit.
There more thieves up here this
winter than before, and there were
more G. o. p. votes last fall than for

small thieves come from. Is there any nee
essary rela ton between small local thieves
and great national Republican robberies?

been called stubborness) to suppress this
element Judge Ives went on with the work
though he stood almost alone. That this
element would make a hard fight to keep
on with their nefarious business expected.
But that they should go 50 far as to try
and bring disgrace and 5honOr on the
grayhaired old judge. by trying to have
him impeached, did not expect. mat this
attempt will succeed l cannot believe. Ger
tain1y it will not if presented to the legls-
lature in it's true light and 1t Is shown who
is back of it.
1 therefore ask you to employ your gifted
pen in presenting the matter in its true
light From what I have seen in the daily
papers l do not believe that they will ever
do him justice. They give him no credit
for what he has done, but seem to try to
create the impression that there is uni
yersal dissa tisfaction with Judge Ives, and
that it has existed ever since he assembled
the bench.
1t is worthy of note that there is no
charge that he has been brbed or that he
has done any of these things for selfish
motive. 1t can be seen that at most he
might possibly have technically overstepped
his authority in his effort to bring certain
parties to justice. But this Clover ele
ment' have been carrying on their bust
ness in Crookston and East Grand Forks
for years, and all efforts to indict them
have failed. 1t seems to me, therefore,
that a person who will stand by and ap-
plaud this attempt to impeach one who is
charged with exceeding his authority is a
traitor to the cause of reform.
1t is also worthy of note that nothing was
said about impeachment until this last ses-
sion of the grand jury of Polk county
when the indictments were found and that
the chief promoter of the scheme to i'm
peach is the attorney who tried to get
many of the indicted parties clear on some
fiashy technicalities, to which Judge Ives
gave little heed
l write this letter to call your attention
to a cowardly attempt to disgrace and dis
honor and honest judge for the purpose Of
protecting some prostitutes, pimps and
gamblers. If there is anything l can do to
defeat this attempt l stand ready.

q relative cannot be hired without the con.
currence of all the members Of the board.
Under the township system the most pow.
erful church often elects the directors and
thereby controls the schools, but under
our system there are SO many officers that
this trouble is largely obviated.
In Iowa there was one director for each
school district, but our wise men want
only three in a whole township. The re-
suit would be that one-half of the districts
In this state would not have a school Off
Ger within their borders, and would have no
voice in the choice Of a teacher or the
management of their school. Do the peo-
pie of this state want to be put under guar.
dianship? e.
Why not make the state superintendent
of schools state school autocrat," and
leave the whole management of our schools
to him.
They tell us it would be cheaper not to
have so many officers Would it? think
not. In Iowa the treasurer draws as much
salary as all the school clerks of town.
ship can under our system, as he has
percentage Of all money raised, and, be-
sides that, all the directors get pay for
their work. With a complete school board
in each district they can perform their
duties without going far from home, and
hence it is but little trouble to them, and
costs the district almost nothing. True.
the clerks can draw percentage, but
many of them have given their district
this money for library.
On the other hand, If three men were to
do the work required in whole township,
in looking after the schools, it would re-
quire so much running about that they
would be obliged to get paid for their
trouble and even where there is one di-
rector for each district they must attend
several meetings each year. From whence
comes the demand for the township sys-
TEN? From the people of the state? No.
If the adoption of this measure were left
to a vote Of the people interested, there
would not be 10 per cent of the people in
favor of it. The opinion of those who
never tried anything but the township sys-
tenn is of little value. they do not UNDER
stand the beauties of our system
But there is one class of men who would
be benefited and who could afford to put
up literally to bring about the change.
They are the men who sell schoolhouse fur
niture and supplies, for it would be a great
saving for them to have only to deal with
three men in a township, instead of three
in each school district. And with the OPP
portunity of making a deal whereby they
could supply the schools of a whole towns
ship with the necessary furniture and fix
lures, and the new-fangled fads selling at
profit of 700 per cent, they might even
offer inducements, you know
The State Alliance of Minnesota passed
resolutions against the adoption of the sys-
tenn, but if the people do not desire to lose
their rights and have a bad method OF
school management crammed down their
threats, let them at once send remons-
frances against the proposed change to
their members of the legislature.
Respectfully,
f. E. LOMMEN
