Morrison County's Forfeited Tax Sale
Nearing the End-Proceeds
About SIS, 900.

The Morrison county forfeited tax
sale js very nearly finished. All out
side the city was completed at 10
O'Clock this forenoon, and when the
noon adjournment was taken the
city list was we'll under way. 1t is
possible that there will be some sold
tomorrow morning, but it is not
likely. yaa. >< $:S. ..1> t 49, u .s.l-;J
When the city was reached this
morning the large number of outside
bidders dropped out. One OF. them
said that he was not looking for city
property, because he was not familiar
with values, but he was willing to
take his chances on farm lands.
Although there were no outsiders
to bid on city property there were
plenty of home bidders to make
nearly every sale q spirited one.
This sale will certainly prove OF
great benefit to the county in the
matter of collecting taxes. 1t was
surprising to look over the published
list and Zee the amount Of property
that had been redeemed in full before
the land was allowed to go to sale,
and there was also large amount
redeemed by the owners when the
auditor asked prior to placing the
property at public vendue, If the
owner wished to redeem.
At noon today the proceeds from
the sales under the hammer, were
fully 100000
Add to this amount is the sum OF
sis, 900 or 100000 paid in by parties
who preferred not to let their prop.
erty go into the sale, and the total
receipts of the sale, as estimated by
Auditor Harding and others who
have watched, is estimated to be
between $45, 200 and $50, 600.

The Morrison County Camps Organize
and Decide to Have Picnic ct
Glenwood July II.

Modern Woodmen of America Ia
Morrison county to organize ~
picnic association. The camps In
Morrison county are located at
Little Falls, Royalton, Elm Dale,
Swanville. Randall, Lincoln and
Motley, and each one was represented
by two delegates at Fridays meet
ing. ss2f;5
Heretofore the picnic associations
of the Modern Woodmen were de-
vided into districts, there being
three in this state, one in each the
northern, central and southern
parts of the state. These districts
were found to embrace too much
territory to be convenient for al
camps to attend. Morrison county
was included in the northern dis
trict, which has held it's annual
picnics at Detroit These picnics for
various reasons have not resulted
satisfactorily to most OF the camps
in the lower end of the district and
the question of organizing an
association for this county alone has
been under consideration for some
time.
Organization was effected at Fri
days meeting by the selection OF the
following officers:
President-Chas.R hoda, ROyaltOn.
Secretary-W. A. Butler, Little
Falls. IN
Treasurer-O. o. Torgerson, Mot
ley.
1t was also decided that the asso-
citation would have a committee OF
seven members, one to be chosen by
each camp. At Friday evenings
meeting of the Little Falls camp, F.
A. Nelson was elected as a member
OF that committee, but the other
camps have not yet reported their
selections. :
After organizing, the association
proceeded to the consideration OF
plans for a picnic this year. Several
places were available, but Glenwood
was finally decided upon, as it offers
better facilities in the matter Of
boats for water excursions than
the other places. The date has been
fixed at July II. Some favored q
later date. but that would bring II
into harvest time, when a great
number of the membership OF the
country camps would be too busy
to attend a picnic. X
Some correspondence has been
had already, with the Northern Paei'
fic officials and it is thought that a
special train can be secured and the
rate fixed at 81 for the round trip
AS planned now the train would
leave Staples pick up the Motley ex'
cursionists at Staples or Phtlbrook,
then Randall and go to Royalton
where both the Royalton and Elm
Dale excursionists would be taken
on. Returning to this city the Little
Falls excursionists would be picked
up, and the train would stop at all
points between here and GlenwOod
The company is said to have offel ed
a rate of 81 for the round trip pro-
vided 400 tickets could be sold. The
association, however, will endeavo1
to charter a train, as they think
that by a hustle by each camp 6
greater number of tickets can be
sold.
The matter of arrangements fol
the entertainment of the excursion
lists at Glen wood has been left with
the executive committee, and they
will he taken up at once and settled
as soon as possible.

"ADyANCEDy EDUCATION.

Many people have long regarded the So
called advanced pedagogy as a fad. They
dc not as a rule give open expression
to their view. There is a sacredness
which hedges In the American public
school SO that It's critic is necessarily to
some extent a public enemy. And so
1t requires great strength of conviction
and not a little nerve for the ordinary
way farer to say or do aught which might
be construed as tending to dissipate the
prevailing idea that the educational
methods in vogue in our public schools
are no less than perfect.
A most ruthless assault has, however,
just come from an unexpected quarter
on the sanctity of the American public
school, unless recent press dispatches
are false. No less person than that
much-discussed educator, Dr. E. Ben
jamin Andrews, superintendent of the
Chicago public schools. is declared within
the past day or two to have admitted
that teachers in public schools are fol-
lowing such advanced" methods that
they are failing TO instruct pupils prop
erly in the most necessary branches of
learning. some of such teachers them
seives not being able to speak or write
English correctly or even to spell cor
rectly.
This remarkable statement does not
appear to have been made voluntarily
By Dr. Andrews. The charge that such
conditions existed was made by mem
bcrs Of the board of education OF Chi
cago, and the superintendent was obliged
to take cognizance of 1t. something which
Of course he never would have thought
of doing had the charge come from some
outside Phil:stine He has an exp.ana-
ton TO make, however. OF the untoward
and not very creiitable admission. 1t
is that the fault OF it does not lie so
much with the teachers as with the sys-
tom in which they are instructed and

A VANISHED POLITICAL PARTY

The almost total disruption of the Lib
eral party In England is one of the most
remarkable pofitical events Of the CEN
fury, so far as Great Britain is concern
ed. In 1880 the party was all powerful.
and at its head stood William Ewart
Gladstone, a popular idol. Within its
ranks were to be found men like John
Bright, the Marquis of Harrington, Jo-
seph Chamberlain. Robert Lowe. John
Morley, Sir Vernon Harcourt and other
distinguished statesmen. Today it is an
inchoate mass, without a leader or
policy Gladstone and Bright are dead.
Harrington and Chamberlain are found
within the Conservative ranks, Lowe is
buried under peerage and the
house CT lords, and Harcourt is making
a half-hearted fight against every gov
eminent measure in the house OF COM
mons, and the gifted John Morley is
lodging rotten eggs and dead cats in the
provinces.
The shlbboleth of the party, which was
peace and Cancellation, cannot be heard

erogeneous. Within its ranks were found
all shades of opinions, from moderate
conservatism to extreme radicalism. The
socialist and others of the so-called ad-
vanced school of thought affiliated with
1t and impressed upon its policies and
platforms something OF their fads and
foibies. Once in a while all these ele
ments were united under the stress Of
some great dominant question, and, guild

Gladstone, liberalism swept all before it,
