GET THEIR SALARIES.
September PayrOIls of Normal School
Teachers Allowed.

The September pay rolls of all the
normal schools that are in session have
been paid through the board of control
and the state auditor. The st. Cloud
school was the last to file it's pay roll,
and did so since the appointment of
Alvah Eastman as resident director.
Duluth is the only school that has
not filed its pay roll, but as it is not
in session the salary item is small.
When the normal board decided to
begin proceedings to free itself from
the jurisdiction of the board of con-
troll it was delicate question how the
schools could be kept running. This
was overcome by filling the pay rolls
with. the board of control The board
of control, not having been served with
any legal papers, could not consist
emily do otherwise than allow the pay
rolls, provided they were submitted in
accordance with the rules of the board.
Indeed the board has always held
that it was ready to allow any sche

the Duluth normal school have been
held up, as they were not returned on
the proper blanks. Several of the es-
Inmates of the st. Cloud school, sub
mitted by Former Resident Director
Mitchell, were also disallowed as they
were indefinite.
The normal school in filing accounts
with the board of control does not
waive any of its rights. The action
to be brought by the normal board in
wolves simply the validity of the sec
ton of the law creating the board of
control, which applies to educati onal
institutions.
Should the attempt to invalidate the
law fail, action will then be brought
to secure a judicial Interpretation of
the powers of the two boards.

SENATOR d. E. MCCoRKLE, of the
good counties of Williamson and
Hickman, in few short weeks has
made record that will haunt him
the balance of his days. 1t will
retire him to private life, which is
nothing in itself; but it will retire
him to private life with the con-
sciousness that he has lost TIE con-
hdence, esteem and respect of those
whose friendship he has most en-
Joyed in the past. The people of
that Senatorial district are paving
dearly for having defeated a true
and tried, conscientious and faithful
public servant like Major James H.
Akin, with political top-water like

per cent. The number OF negro
criminals 10 the million OF negro
population in those states, is 1000.
Grouping Texas, Tennessee, Mary
land and West Virginia, the average
negro illiteracy is only 503l per
cent. The number of negro crimi-
nails to the million of negro popula-
ton in these states is APO. So we
see that In the group of states where
the negro's literacy is 10 per cent.
higher than in the other group, his
criminal record Is two and half
times as high"
compare the extremes: In the
three Southern states, where the
negro has made the least advance,
aud where, according to all our ac-
cepted standards education, worldly
conditions, etc. his status is the
worst, he furnishes but 1000 crimi-
nails to the million Of his population;
whereas, In the Northern states,
where his condition, according to
our standards, is the best, he fur
nishes 7,547 criminals to tho million
of his population"
Another significant fact bearing
on these considerations of the
Negroes crime is that, looking at the
race as whole, the element which
is educated is more criminal than
the element which is illiterate.
Only AZ per cent. of the entire
colored population can read and
write; whereas 46 per cent. of the
negro criminals can read and write. "
