The University faculty held long
meeting yesterday morning at which
considerable routine business was dis
patched. The committee on entrance
requirements had long list of minor
changes to recommend for the next
catalogue. They consist mostly in
giving the entering freshmen wider Ia
titude in the matter of optional
studies.
1t was unanimously decided by the
faculty that only graduates of the
first-class high school shall be admit
ted to the University without examina-
ton. Principals certificates will not
be accepted. The faculty decided that
the future work of the University
should begin at $50 instead of
O'Clock in the morning, as has been
the custom in the past. The question
OF six working school days in the
week has been referred to DR.. Charles
Wells until he sees fit to make re-
| port upon it.-Minneapolis Tribune.
The University of Minnesota
needs thorough and systematic
overhauling, or one of these
days the whole institution will be
repudiated by the common peo-
pie.
1T was unanimously decided
by the faculty that only gradu-
ates of the tirst-class high schools
shall be admitted to the Univer-
sity without examination
This is all wrong. We know
second grade high schools that
do better work than first grade,
and third grade that do better
work than either first or second
in some places. Admit all grad
yates Of high schools, or examine
them all: This having few in
situations for the favored few to
slip through, and some places to
boom as educational centres is all
wrong, and ought to be sat down
on. That is, it ought to be, if
this state wants to preserve
some sem blance of justice and
equity.

"SHIP" THE FARMERS.

Our prediction last week that
the programme waste give every
influential man Of each locality a
free ride to St. Paul and back
over the Great Northern is prov
ing true. The Argus last week
contained an item from a Doug
lass county paper, which stated
that the same arrangement has
been made for that county as was
arranged for Otter Tail at the
immigration Convention, and the
Argus closes with saying that it
would be wise move" to
transport a carload of farmers"
from this county so they could
be enabled to see what a grand
work is being done for them at
St. Anthony Park. So much as
to say, 'These.poor ignorant
farmers. they don't know how to
farm. Well give them a free
ride down to their college, as
they evidently cannot afford to
pay fare, and then they will go
home and wish they had money
enough to send their boys there.
And then they will have nothing
but praise to vent over the 'iiber-
atty of Jim Hill and courteous
treatment they will receive from
those big fellers' doWn there
who will be SO wonderfully com.
mon and 'obliging,' and lose
sight of tie fact that they pay
exhorbitant freights and ever in
creasing taxes to keep all this in
teresting machinery going and
that this free ride is a sop thrown
to them to keep them in good hu-
NOR Editor Crosby says that
the Great Northern issues pas
ses in the interest of the Repub-
lican machine of the state, why
is ltnot reasonable to suppose
that this whole scheme of giving
farmers free rides is a cunning
political trick. Our farmers are
not clam ring for charity;, all
they want is simple justice. VI.

SHALL AMERICAN LIBERTY
BE PRESERVED?

The American people pride
themselves on having set aside
nobility, royalty and titles, and
yet they contribute to ruling
monarchs to an extent never yet
seen on the face of the earth.
The power of Caesar Augustus,
the emperor of 13O,O00,000 of
population. comprising not only
the fairest portion, but at that
time the whole civilized world:
the might of Napoleon at his very
acme Of glory and success; the
prerogative of the German Kais-
err; the despotism Of the Gar of
all the Russias; or even the au-
thority of the Queen of the en-
pire on whose dominions the sun
never sets, possess no such ef-
ficacy in taxing potency as doz-
ems and scores o. American citi-
zens possess simply in this coun-
try today.
Any crowned potentate of any
age or country did and must at
least give some plausible reason
Of state policy, and submit these
reasons to his people or consul
for approval before he could or
can proceed to collect his taxes.
But the American potentate in
control of the necessaries and
conveniences of modern life need
give no reason or submit his
taxing plan to any eartly being
before exercizing his power.
The latter may want to buy a
foreign nobleman for his daugh-
ter, build a theological seminary
for his sect, or endow a universi-
ty to teach his creed Of political
economy, or simply. get the no
ton of being the greatest multi
millionaire of the age; and all he
has to do is to raise freight and
passenger tariff a few cents, add
a few cents to the price of kero-
sene or a quarter on ton of coal,
and seventy millions of people
roll into his Golfers millions and
millions of dollars, weekly month
ly, and annually.
This very thing is being done
year after year and all the while
the victims of this unheard of
tyranny Of taxation are shouting
themselves hoarse to the refrain

ples.of the i. Declaration } '5 of hide &
