LOWER RATE OF INTEREST
sUPT. PENDERGAST THINKS 1T
WOULD ENCOURAGE SCHOOLS
State School Fund Could Be Used
AdvRntageCusIy Where Money Is
Now Being Borrowed Outside.

State Superintendent Of Schools
Pendergast is of the opinion that the
state should loan It's school fund, for
the purpose of assisting country school
districts to build new school houses, at
much lower rate of interest than that
now prevailing. He is quite emphatic
in his views on this subject. as a re-
cent trip around the state disclosed
several cases where the school district
had gone outside of the state to borrow
money, first, because the states rate
Of interest was higher than that offer
ed elsewhere, and secondly because of
the limitations in the amount~,which
can be secured by district.
You see," said Mr.. Pendergast dis
cussing the matter with The G l 0 b
yesterday there Is scarcely any West
ern security which Is considered better
than school district bonds. Many of
our towns desire to borrow money with
which to put up a new brick house.
If the building is to cost three or four
thousand dollars and is in a town Of
less than a thousand people, sufficient
money cannot be secured from the
state to carry out the desires Of the
people, and as a natural consequence
outside money IS negotiated for, and
secured, while the states money lie3
idle in the treaSurer's vaults without
earning anything. Indeed, I have
known Of several cases OF late where
the loans secured outside the state
were at "a much lower rate of interest
than that charged by the state. The
state charges per cent interest on all
loans to rural school districts, and for
a district whose assessed valuation Is
$4,000 a loan not exceeding per cent
on a real property valuation is issued
by the state. This limit ought certain
ly to be increased, and at the same
time the rate Of interest decreased ma
terially, say to per cent. This would
result in an untold blessing to the
state. 1t would stimulate every school
district in the state which is in the
least progressive to build a. new school
house, and our school fund, which
largely lies idle, could be safely and
an educational way would continue to
accrue to the state for many years to
come. These loans run twenty years
and not less than five years. The state
would receive interest during all this
time, and at the same time build
up the educational system Of the state
in way which could only reflect honor
upon the commonwealth IN the future.
eff the state wishes to encourage the
building of good school houses through
out the rural and thriving towns, 1t
should meet the present conditions and

ONE JUDGE DISSENT'S
SUPREME COURT SPLITS ON A
CASS COUNTY POLITICAL
FIGHT
MAJORITY IS REPUBLICAN
But Justice Buck VIII Not Assent
to q Decision Which Continues
AppOdntiye Officers Over Two
Years Of Service, In Spite of the
Intent OF the Constitution to
Have Such Offices Elective.

The supreme court yesterday dis
charged the order to show cause in
the case Of J. Spencer against c. e.
Griffith, county auditor of Cass county.
The case was brought by Spencer to
compel Auditor Griffith to give his
name a place on the county ticket, as
he has been nominated by the Popu-
lists of the county as member of the
board Of county commissioners.
The present commissioners were ap~
pointed by Gov. CIough In 1897, when
Cass county was organized, and pro-
tested to Auditor Griffith against this
as they were appointed for a. term Of
four years, by virtue of chapter 8,
general laws Of 1897, under which the
county was organized.
The court in its opinion says that the
law requires the county officers ofdin-
arily and usually to be elected by the
people; that the legislature cannot pro-
vide for passing by a. general election
and allowing ain appointed county Of
ficer to hold over beyond such an cleo
ton and to the next election, unless
| there be some substantial reason for it,
which the legislature in it's discretion
may deem sufficient.
The court holds that such g. reason
exists. Owing to the sparse settlement
of the county and the newness Of the
county organization it would not be
provident to attempt to disturb the
present county organization.
The syllabus Is as follows:
J, Spencer, plaintiff VS.. G. E. Griffith, as
county auditor Of the County of Cass, Mimi,
defendant.
Sec. Of art. 9 of the constitution requires
county officers to be ordinarily and usually
elected by the people, and the legislature can
not provide for passing by a general election
and allowing appointed officers to hold over
| to the next succeeding election unless there
| Is some substantial reason therefor.
| But, held, when a sparsely settled I'M
organized county is first organized there may
| be such a reason in the fact that it will
take nearly all Of that time to organize the
| county government and get it into fair work.
| ing order. Order to show cause discharged.
-Canty, ].
Judge Buck, however, takes another
view Of the subject and dissents from
| the opinion Of the other members Of
the court in the following language:
dissent. The law under consideration is
| contrary to the spirit, If not the plain terms
| of the constitution. 1t is in direct conflict
| with the general laws Of the state upon mat
| tiers OF this kind. The doctrine that because
! a county is sparsely settled justihes the
| adoption of such a rule as laid down in the
| majority opinion, is, in my opinion, repugnant
| to all the rules of Interpretation and con-
| struction Cass county has 800 voters and
several thousand inhabitants, who are cap
! able of organizing a county government In
| due form and in as short time county

By moving the soldiers from Market
hall TO Cretin hall for a day or two
the managers of the House Of the Good
Shepherd fair have arranged to con-
tinue 1t into next week. This after
noon there VIII be a, matinee at 2
o'clock, the colored cake walk, which
has won so much favor with the pub
llc This bazaar has without any
doubt been the handsomest thing Of its
kind ever seen in st. Paul. It has
been more ambitious than most VEN
lures of this kind and more successful.
Over 1000 people have visited Market
hall each evening. The pretty booths
with their co1ored lights, handsome
furnishings and charming attendants
have attracted admiration and custom.
There has been so great a demand for
tea and coffee that the hot water sup
ply gave out and the patronage at the
soda fountain last evening was SO
pressing there was a mild explosion
during the evening, and a stream of
soda poured joyously out into the
crystal depths of Lake Como and caus-
ed stampede among the Japanese
girls in st. Luke's booth.
The living pictures have been every
thing that's lovely and artistic In life
and art. They more than came I'D to
Sturgis and Mr.. Stem should be given
great credit for the smoothness and
attention to detail with which they
were arranged.
The cake walk was, of course, a. pop
ular side issue. It was given each
evening in the hall at the rear Of the
main auditorium and had an especial
| orchestra and a catchy programme OF
popular songs and dances came before
the walk.
Last evening the Fort Smelling band
was in attendance in the main hall and

men who had been to Cuba and back
riValed appreciation CT the music.
Quantities of articles have been sold

two political contests have been watch
ed with a lively interest There have
been some spirited contests as the vote

WINONA, Oct 28-The Minnesota
Federation of Women's Clubs held its

a year from this date in st. Cloud. From
the taking of the informal ballot yes.
terday there were no Indications Of
the rather sharp contest which de-
YelOped this morning over the office of
vice president at large.
Upon the first ballot Mrs. G. Conant
of Wells, was elected as corresponding
secretary and Mrs. Butts, Of Still
water, as treasurer, but no majority
had been received for any Of the can
dIdates for the vice presidency. Upon
the third ballot Mrs. Laura NJ. Jones,
OF Duluth, was elected, running over
Mrs. Follett, of st. Paul, by five votes

ton been choosing it's whole staff

lis, second; Mrs. Follett, of ST. Paul
third, AID Mrs. Conant, Of Wells,
fourth. The first surprise Of the morn
ing and the first inkling Of what was
ahead, came when Mrs. Moliter. Of St.
Peter, rose and said:
Madam President, we are to elect
these officers this morning and are sup
posed to cast an intelligent vote. But I,
for one, know nothing Of the merits of
the candidates, and I think there are
others who would be glad to know
something Of the qualifications Of the
woman who may be called upon to pre-
side at our state meetings. If the dis
cussiOn will be embarrassing to the
candidates, they might withdraw for
brief time"
This speech made spectators sit up
straight, and listen with keenest at,
tentiOn to the president, who said In
substance:
1T has always been the sense of the
federation to shun nominating speech
es. They are not beneficial inasmuch
as no member wishes to stand I'D and
eXpatiate upon the faiIings Of a. can.
dldate, and the result is that such
speeches run into q, series Of eulogiea
inspired by fractional motives. Never,
theless, If g. motion Is made in fayo,
of that most excruciatfng period-the
hour for nominating speeches will
DO my best to bring it's intent into
effect"
MRS. Moliter was on her feet instant
ly to explain her position. She said:
ASKED FOR INFORMATION.
Il do not want a nominating speech
