PHELPS IS CAUS1IC.
Commonplace Men, He Says, on the
Board of Control.
THEIR ACTS WILL SHOW THIS
To Be Consistent They Should At
tack the ssU'' and Force 1t
Into Court.

Duluth, Mimi, Jan. Professor F. w.
Phelps hands out warm one in comment
Ing on the interview published In ST. Paul
with w. E. Lee OF the state board Of con-
troll, touching on the recent decision OF
the supreme court relative to the powers
OF the board In normal school matters.
He says:
We are afforded another sample Of the tao
ties OF the board OF control. They have not
the courage to attack the state university.
There Is a decision Of the supreme court In
their favor, and it is a decision which the
press and the people of the state are not at
one with. 1t gives control Of the university
and normal schools to the board of control, on
the theory that these schools are charitable
institutions. This is to say that the buildings
are poorhouses, the students paupers, and the
professors are the keepers. What a dignified
and fattering designation for great edu-
cational Institutions, those who attend them
and those who teach In them. The less Mr..
Lee and his crowd get into print the better
for them. In this interview he shows the
usual inconsistency Of the board of control.
II the board was consistent it would attack
the university and force it into the courts.
Saying that State Auditor Dunn has the key
to the situation is merely an attempt to shift
the trouble that the folly OF the board OF con-
troll stirred up to the shoulders OF some one
with backbone enough to bear it. It is a note
OF surrender when 1t says that as long as the
state auditor follows the course OF honoring
the vouchers Of the university regents they,
| the board Of CONTROL win not be burdened
with extra duties. It would be we'll also II
the same policy was allowed toward the nor
NAL schools, and If the board of control was
composed Of men of ordinary courtesy or
wisdom, both the university and the normal
schools would be in the hands OF men who
knew something about them.
Tine hoard control ia made llD of the
commonplace sort of men. not one of them
being up to the average in Intelligence or
business ability. Their acts will show this.
What crowd to hold the destinies of the
university and normal schools Of the state In
their hands! Co.,.

MAY HAVE VESTED POWERS
Judge Gould Not So Sure About the
. University.

University.
Special to The Journal.
WinOna, Mimi. jan 7.-Judge O. B.
Gould, of the state board of control, was
in Winonh on Monday, returning to st.
Paul in the evening When asked for a
statement regarding the recent Lewiston
of the state supreme court sustaining the
board of control in its contention with
the normal board, the judge was loath
to say much before some policy Of proceed
ure had been outlined by the board OF
control. He though:, = however, that it
| would be perfectly proper to state that
the policy Of the board might be to en-
| courage the normal schools in every
proper way. but it would be necessary
| that the system of doing business be uni
form over all the institutions subject to
the board of control .~
On being asked whether the board OF
control would, under the decision, seek
to assume control of the state university,
| Judge Gould turned to the board of con-
| troll act passed by the legislature and
| read section IS, as follows:
The board of control shall! have and exercise
| full authority in all financial matters Of the
| state university normal schools, state public
schools and schools for the deaf and blind
| Said board Of control shall disburse all public
| moneys of the several institutions named, and
F.! shall have the same authority in the ex-
penditures Of public moneys appropriated
therefor as in other institutions named in
| this bill.
Commenting ON this section, Judge
Gould said that if it was competent for
! the legislature to pass this act regulat-
! ing the financial management of the uni
| versity this law would seem to apply, but
| by reason Of the fact that the regents
| of the university were constituted a body
polite, with the rights and powers of
| corporation the legislature might have nc
| control of their financial affairs; that is,
| they might have vested rights, which
could not be interfered with by the legis-
lature. If this were so, the board OF
| control would have no effect as to the
| university. The judge said that the board
! had not had the matter under considera-
ton since the supreme court decision was
rendered. He had been informed that the
attorney general had declared informally
that the decision would be applicable.

They vote, as politicians do, selfishly. Some of them do. what will best help my business, what Will make me most popular, what will please my friends ?-these are the questions which no man ought ever to ask when his political attitude is in question.
 Present social and political conditions furnish a reason which renders lmpefa- tive call to civic righteousness. wee and crime in the social fabric, corrup- ton in the political world, which so powerfully influences all else-these, we say, are the works of the devil. Yes, but they are chiefly the result of this
 
 Good people ought to be good enough to actively hinder the devil while he IS mixing vice and crime into the com pound of which we are part.
 I mean that the apathy and inaction of good people favors the manipulation of politics by professional spollsmen' the elections of administrators of in- ferior moral calibre, and of legislators who, being party tools or ambitious schemers, or intellectual or moral weddings, do not represent the best thought and sentiment of the state, and who are instrumental, wilfully or as puppets, in passing bad laws. Further, the apathy affects all the branches of public service. The disposition to elect officers to enforce the laws and then to fall asleep without further curiosity to know whether the laws are enforced or not is chiefly responsible for the outlaw nuisances which exist around us.
 Now, what can be done by the Chris tian citizen to remedy this condition?
 This age is sown thickly with oppor- tunities for Christian men to make their influence as patriotic citizens effective. To some it seems otherwise. They say, We have no such chance to ally our selves with a splendid cause as our fathers had. It is not ours to help lay the foundations of civilization in new continent. to wrest government from the hands of tyrant or to drive slav- cry from our country" That is true, but it is ours to wrestle with new prob lems which shall yet be set down in history as great To every age the ages past seem bright with glory.

They were anxious to save the structure and besides, failure meant that the fire might take new headway among the properties of ad- joining the club house The building was doomed, however, but a torrent of water confined the fire to the prem- ises. The four walls of the club house stock, but the roof collapsed and the interior was completely burned out.
 Paterson rests in a valley and the con- flagration was an imposing spectacle from the rim of hills which wall it in. Columns of flame climbed high in the air and shed their light for miles. Hun dreds of persons hurried into the city before daylight to watch the work of destruction at close range and when the day came thousands more joined them The fire became a great popular spec tacle that claimed patrons from New York and every outlying town in New Jersey, Once in the city they crowd cd around the firemen and at times hampered them in their work Police lines were impossible, and all through the day they poured in an endless stream through the desolate streets.

BOY KILLED IN EdSG HAVEN.
James Veiardi Accidentally Shot by a Companion.

James yeiardi Accidentally shot by a l Companton.
 1 James Nelardi, an Italian boy about thir- teen years of age, who resided at No. "A St 1 John street. was shot and killed by Antonio l Naslota, companion, in East Haven near what is known as the King place about I o o'clock yesterday afternoon 1t is thought that thc shooting was accidental, and no ar rests have yet been made in connection with 1t.
 The Yelardi boy and three companions, also Italian boys of about the same age who live in the same neighborhood went outo to East Haven yesterday afternoon, taking a small 22-caibre rifle. They walked out Grand avenue to the end of the avenue and then on over the hill past the East Ha- ven tunnel About half mile beyond the tunnel, and near the house of Mir. Sloan, they stopped and pinned paper against a tree for target and began shooting at 1t.
 The boys in the party were, besides young Vclardi, Antonio Vaslota, Joseph Aceto and Antonio Adminolski. The Vaslota boys and the Aceto boy own the gun in partnership. Both boys go to school and Aceto uses the gun Saturdays NaslOta however, works in q barber shop Saturdays and so went out to use the gun yesterday.
 After the paper had been tackled on the tree young Aceto shot once at it and Vaslo- ia several times. Finally as Vaslota was about to fire at 1t young Nelard ran in front of the gun just as it was discharged. The bullet struck him in the breast and he dropped. The other boys, very much scared ran to his assistance, but could do nothing for him. One of them ran to MT. Sloan's house for help. Before medical assistance could he summoned the boy died.
 MT. Sloan informed the East Haven police and they telephoned to the Grand avenue police station Sergeant Bowers, with Po- ilcemen Cook and Mack at once went to the scene of the shooting in the police wag on The three boys were taken to the po- lice station and locked up.
