There are things now going on
which need and deserve the attention
OF every true citizen of our great |
state, matters concerning the man
agement Of our Normal Schools, the
schools which are essentially the
peoples schools. They support them
and they reap the benefit. These
schools are under the Immediate
control OF u estate Normal School
Board," composed OF six appointed
members with the Governor and the
Superintendent OF public instruction
as members ex otficio. Three men,
bers are to be appointed by the new
ly elected governor, Hon. John Lind
aud as he himself will I've Il new men,
Der and also has the appointment
of the supt. ii public Instruction,
the majority OF this board will be of
Il strange color. Such men as Hon.
Pattee, OF the university, S. G. Com
stock, and Andrew Grindeland, whom
our citizens honored by electing him
to the office of State Sena tor, are to
be reti1ed Men OF truer patriotism,
OF more devout sincerity and OF a
keener desire to do right to the pub
lie never were mem bers OF a board
OF this nature! Mr.. Grindeland must
retire from the nature ofhis position.
The Others must not unless politics
shall be made a factor in our school

spirited men we're chosen to succeed
these men who now hold these posi-
tions OF trust. But grave fears are
entertained by many. God give

cases are alike to the case here in
Moorhead they vouch: the .gravest
apprehensions by all true citizens.
The politicians of the ..Populists in
Moorhead are urging, Lind to up
point a cheap merchandise this. place
for that important place, a man who
has no more ability to succeed Mr..
Comstock. than sttinaulfna g. cat, 2
whatever else his abilities may be-.
He is totally and unqualitiedly unfit
for this position, which We say with
out the slightest intention to detract
any of his other qualifications.
Such is the condition here and We
ask: How are the conditions there?
Has Warren in Marshall county no
worthy man irrespective Of parties
whose name our people could be
proud of in presenting for appoint
ment to this position? !. This fact is
worthy OF the public's attention.
Rise~up, citizens, to vieilantly watch
over your sacred interests as the
progenitors OF generations to comet
The winter so far has been very
pl easant, much like Hast years.
NJ any say that Americas writer's
must have been Effected BY the sur
reundings, namely by the people who
mostly have come from countries
where the winter was not SO hard as
,is usual here in Northern Minnesota.
But we would rather say that We
have the climate OF New York and

comfortable trade. Everyone enjoys
it. u> 9,
