Farmer Legislators All Right

The Portage Register has no.
ticed that a number of newspapers
in the state have been in the habit
of poking fun at the farmer ele-
ment in the Legislature because
that element is anxious to get at
facts regarding the expenditures of
the state university. The farmers
are not alone In the desire to get
at the figures; there are people III
different vocations who would like
to know what the state is pay irg
for when it fcots university bills,
continues the Register. The fact
that this investigation has been
started is pretty good evidence that
it is needed, but there is better
evidence. When the demand upon
the university for its figures was
made that demand was answered
by argument; argument not being
wanted a second demand, and
pretty sharp one too, was made;
this will probably bring to light
the information sought. Even
were the farmers alone Ill their de-
sire for knowledge regarding the
finances of the university, that
would be 10 cause for finging
cheap wit at them. Quite the con-
trary, for it would argue that the
farmers had business enough to
know what they wanted and what
was best for the interests of the
state in this matter. Let the
farmers alone, they are alright.
And just mark this. When a state
institution is called upon for fig
ures and answers with argument
it needs looking mp.

The A. O. U. W. Banquet

Friday evening Union Lodge
No. 33, Ancient Order of United
Workman, gave social entertaln-
ment at which about one hundred
fifty invited guests were present.
The entertainment opened with
music by Lutte Dodge's Orchestra
of Hastings, after which two songs
were furnished by the Sappho
Quartette. cons sting of Misses
Anna Dodge, Ethel Heasley, Emma
Jenson and Clara Lien. The sing
ing was rare treat and displayed
the musical ability of the quartette
which was generously applauded
by the guests. Hon. F. NJ. Lloyd
of ST. Paul, Grand Master Work
man, was then introduced by Mr..
John Chinook. The speaker ad-
dressed the society and guests for
one hour, during which time he
was heard with the closest atten-
ton. The speaker gave a brief
history of the order he represented,
and compared it with others of
similar import with view to show
the superior excellency of the
Workman. No mem Der Of the
order, or visitor, could have heard
Mr.. Lloyd's talk without being
drawn in closer sympathy with the
work the society is doing. "Seven-
teen dollars, says the speaker,
''are being paid out of it's treasury
every minute to relieve the suffer
ing, clothe the poor and feed the
hungry. Mr.. Lloyd is member
of the Minnesota Legislature and
an easy and fluent speaker, and he
will be pleasantly remembered by
the people of River Falls. Mr..
Lloyd was followed by local ora
tors, who spoke briefly but none
the less interestingly, among whom
were Attorney White, Hon. n. P.
Haugen and Judge Weld.
The hour for supper having ar
rived, the guests were invited to
surround the long tables in wait,
ing, which were loaded with
deIicacies prepared by Mrs. The
lander, upon whom the duty Of
furnishing the repast devolved,
which fact alone is sufficient evil
dence Of the excelency of the ban
quet. The supper over and the
tables removed, the time was spent
in dancing, the music being furn-
ished by Dodge's Orchestra.
This was one Of The most elabor-
ate receptions of the season. 1t was
apparent that the Workman had
two objects in view, first to show
to the people of River Falls the
grand work of the order ard the
protection it throws around the
homes of modern wor men, and
secondly the fraternity of it's mem
bers.

lined and discussed the work in
reading presented by Miss Peck
ham of the Normal. Miss Peckham
then conducted a truly model
recitation i'll reading. She succeed
ed in so thoroughly interesting
her class that they forgot they
were in the presence of a large
audience, and thought only Of the
work of the class. The power to
SO interest and lead young minds
il certainly the highest kind Of
art. The work Of the model reci-
tation was favorably and thorough
" discussed by Prin. Toby of
Hudson.
Miss Anna Dodge conducted a
model recitation in elementary
geography, after which the associ-
alton adjourned until one O'Clock
P. M. The work of the afternoon
was opened by Prin. c. J Brewer,
of Ellsworth. He commended
the work in elementary geography
presented by Miss Dodge and en-
phasized the necessity Of forming
elementary percepts and concepts
by observing nature. The subject
was further discussed by Pres.
Parker and others
comfy Supt. Shaw next talked
to the association on 1.-The
Daily Preparation of the Teacher
for Her Work. In his talk he
emphasized the Importance of
daily preparation Of lessons, and
also the Importance Of preparation
in other lines.
As Prin. Downer of Beldenville
was sick, his paper on vertical
writing was read by his sister,
Miss Sue Downer. He brought
out the advantages to be secured
by using vertical writing and
spoke of his success in introducing
it into his schools. The paper
was discussed by Miss Matilda
Smith, Miss Smith of the Normal
school and others.
Miss Matilda Smith next spoke
Of her success in teaching drawing
in the country school. This topic
was discussed by Miss Pardee,
teacher of drawing III the Norma.
school.
Pres. Parker closed the program
with an interesting and instructive
talk in which he reviewed the en-
tire work of the day laying particu
lar stress on the important things
Every teacher that was present
at this association must certainly
have gone away with new ideas
and renewed inspirations.

RICH MEMS REQUESTS.

It may be said that the people have
come to expect that when a man of
large wealth dies he will make a be-
quest to some public institution. or
that ne viii make e bequest for the
purpose of founding some institution.
Hence it is that people wondered
whether the late Ogden Goelet had
made cry requests TO any public in
stitution All questions of this kind
are now at rest, for f9s viii has been
fled fer probate and it makes no pub
lie hequest.
He was under no obligation to do
anything OF the kind any more than
was Jay Gould, who made no requests
for public institutions. Yet SO many
rich men have done This that WHEN

public expectation that rich meu will

feeling that they owe this 10 the pubic

THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES,

The Republican primaries last night
We're very largely attended. This is
a matter Of congratulation to all in
that it shows a determination on the
part Of the people not to be dictated to
in the matter of saying who shall and
who shall not be candidates for office.
The great numbers at the Republican
primaries. like the great numbers at
the Democratic primaries. is in the
nature of a protest, in one sense,
against the attempted usurpation of
self-appointed committee of twenty
three. And it will be a very hard mat
ter for the non-partisan movement pro-
motors and those who sympathize with
them to say that the thousands OF
Democrats and the thousands of Re-
publicans who attended their party
primaries are all nothing but office
seekers. that they have no other inter
est in anything municipal but to loot
the public treasury.
The comparisons have challenged
the fitness of the people to make nomi-
nations for public office and the people
are rising up against them. Let the
non-partisan movement be stamped out
as thing of evil.

Atlantic! That steamer was the Savan-

time from Savannah to Liverpool was

was made in much better time. she go

a sH1FTY CONTEMPORARY.

The Tribune says that The Herald
flies to the rescue Of the malignant op-
preston and stupid Gripping of the
police department by the present city
administration. That is absolutely
false and our contemporary knew it
when it said it. 1t then goes on to say
that this is probably in the interest
of the lawless element, the bunco
steerers and the like. 1t is quite mis-
taken, and in this connection it is just
as well TO recall the fact that about
year since Chief Pratt attempted to rid
the town of lewd women and arrested
practically all there were in the town,
our contemporary was terribly out
ragged at what he had done.
Our contemporary says that the deal
ings with the police force by the pres
ent administration it referred to We're
the treatment of the force by the
mayor, city attorney and the police
commission, but that The Herald takes
it for granted that it meant only the
reduction of the force by the city coun-
ell. which is different proposition al
together, it says. What it said was
this:
1t CThe HERALD declares the city
councils bogus retrenchment schedule
legitimate and proper. including the
item for stoppage of street lights and
other public service; ignoring our point
that il such as that Is a legitimate saw
ing, then it can easily be increased by
stopping the service altogether The
argument is also made that the police
force hasn't been crippled, as proof of
which it says a large percentage Of
stolen money and effects has been re-
covered. A deceptive showing, since
the fashion is to account nominally for
all that can be found and deny the
theftS when recovery can't be had the
truth being that this city has little If
any more than half the standard ratio
of police force, which is one policeman
TO the thousand of population; and the
condition of that small force has been
utterly demoralized by the action of
the mayor city attorney and commits
sion, so much so that ministers of the
city and the municipal league have
united in crying out against the shame
ful laNity in the enforcement of the
laws
We still maintain that the city coun-
ell by reducing the police force did not
cripple it so far as efficiency is con-
cerned, judged by the records in the
police department, and our contempo-
rary did not have in mind the conduct
Of the mayor, city attorney and police
commission toward the police force
when it talked about it being crippled,
as reference to its leader "The Saw
ings' of the Councir' in its issue of last
Sunday will show. 1t is simply trying
to shift its position, that is all.
The chickering's, quarreIs and dis
graceful scenes in the police commits
sion have been condemned repeatedly
by The Herald. and it has not hest
tated 10 say that much of it was per-

And never yet SO heettng seemed sweet

And passion dying in its nery kiss
The high-erected vision sinks away,
And from. these bathing flames of night

Where fades to ashes this majestic

My soul springs up erect, alone, supreme.
Aad, passing from this glory, doth SUI
At sons spent meteor's low and dying

sonai spite and nothing more. And no
one knows this better than our con-
temporary; and now it has the supreme
gall to say that The Herald is cham
pioning this same commission.
We would ask our contemporary
what connection there is between the
doings Of the police commission ana
Mr.. Dale's action as a member of the
city council. VIII our contemporary
also state what is the foundation for
its statement that in the police depart
ment it is the fashion TO account nonlin-
ally for all the stolen property that can
be found and to deny theft when re-
covery is not had? That is direct
charge Of dishonesty in the police de-
partment- Let cur contemporary say
why it makes it.
