Tennessee's State Debt.

Tennessee has been reducing its
state debt at a rapid rate. Ten years
ago il owed $16,OOO,OOO, a much
larger sum than any other state in
the same region, and carrying an in
terest charge Of 100000 a year at
time when the annual interest
charge on New York's debt was less
than 100000, and on that of Ohio
less than that Of 100000. Recently
the state debt has been reduced and
Gov. Mcmillan gives some interesting
information concerning the reduction
Of the state debt during his admins
tration. Since January l, 1899, the
debt has been reduced at the rate
Of $1,000 a week, and the indebted
ness paid up to this time includes
$910.4G5.34 Of floating debt and the

Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1902-10-29

DR.. J.. Fremling spoke. Did net
understand it several yes ago. Saw
that the conference needed q deacon
ess institution now. Conference had
q right to establish same regardless
of the Synod. Sufficient territory in
The Northwest for such an institution.
Rev. J. Magny-That we had big
field for such work. It would be
economy in connection with the hos
pital. We can keep our talents in the
way of Christian women at home.
Rev. S. A. Lindholm wanted to
ask a question. Cannot the Synod
get along with one deaconess institu-
ton, in case they will accept Emmanuel
Deaconess Institution at Omaha?
Rev. G. A. Hultkrantz. We can es-
tablish such an institution without in
curing extra expense on our Confer
ence. Such an institution must be in
connection with hospital. II
Synod wants to take hold of this work
let it take our institution too. We
need Christian women at our hos
pitfalls.
DR.. E. Norelius- Reminded that the
Conference had left this question in
the hands Of the Synod. Synod should
have the supervision of this work.
There is difference between a deacon
ess and nurse Synod would raise
no objection if the Conference should
establish such an institution. He IA.
vored the establishing of same now.
Conference should have home fo1
the aged as we'll.
Rev. E.. M. Erickson-Believed there
would be extra expense to maintain
such 9 work. We must either estab
lsh our own institution and withdraw
our support from the Omaha institu
tion or just have one such institution
Rev. j. T. Kjellgfen-The whole
board Of Bethesda Hospital saw the
need of such an Institution. We neel
deaconesses in our congregations.
D.! Delegate improve our con
gregations and hospital in a mora
way.
Rev. P. A. Pilgren- He was opposed
to it last meeting but had been con
verted when he had studied the cues
ton.

closed the session.
FRIDAY MORNING..
The discussion of the school ques-
ton was renewed. It was noticeable
that there had been change of feel
ing in favor of removal since the
previous day.
Rev. Magny was the first speaker
recognized and he spoke first on the
moral side. He had q good deal of
faith in, the Swedish Lutheran con.
gregations of the Twin Cities and felt
sure there would be no undue danger
in sending the young people to the
cities under the care of the school
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1902-10-29


never. The matter was q business
proposition and should be treated as
such.
Rev. J. A. Nelson, of Bernadotte,
referred to the late eviction of the
police from university grounds as an
instance of the discipline enforced at
the university.
hon. j. W. Peterson, of Vasa, said
the lay delegates from the country
would not vote for removal to the
Twin Cities on account of the bad
moral effect.
Rev. Petri made q rejoinder to Dr..
Wahlstrom, in which he accounted for
the standing of the colleges referred
to by comparing the comparatively
weak backing they have in the state
compared to what our school would
have. He wanted something done in
keeping with the Importance of the Or
ganization. He wanted to make an

last plea. He pleaded for no hasty
judgment. He quoted Gustayus Vasa:
"Svenskarne arc snara att samtycka
men sena att utransaka. I" He limited
at legal complications. .-
This was discussed briefly, but the
matter had been looked up already by
those interested and. if any further
question existed there was plenty OF
time before final action. r..
Mr.. Henry Lingren, of New London,
spoke, and said the consensus of the
people of the local church who had
heard the discussion was in favor of
removal.
Atty. Benson made another plea for
st. Peter, and vote was called for.
DR.. Norelius led in prayer and in
voked wisdom from on high in the
step to be taken.
The question was put and the ayes
were overwhelming. Three delegates
desired to be recorded in the negative.
A resolution was than adopted
authorizing the committee to inves-
tigate In the matter of proper site
not to contain less than 20 acres, and

It was freely given him.
Mr.. A. P. Mellquist, of East Union,
q director upon the college board,
spoke OF school history. He thought
1t would be no worse for St. Peter to
lose school after having it for 26 years
than 1t had been for East Union to
lose it after four years. It was time
to go forward and he hoped the dele
gates would vote for removal.
Rev. A. P. Bergstrom moved the
resolution drawn by Lind as substi-
tute to the proposition of the COM
mittee.
c. A. Johnson, of St. Peter, made a

sible. He thought the buildings at St.
Peter might be utilized for a ladies
school.
Rev. J. Magny of Volga, Wis.,,
spoke In favor of removal. Said the
financial question was the determining
factor in the matter. If we refuse the
offer, others will take it up and thank
us for the opportunity.
Rev. A. o. Mattson of Minneapolis,
spoke for removal. The central posi-
ton would be the advantage. He
asked, Chow many of our people,
comparatively speaking, have met our
professors or visited our SCHOOL,"
The cities would afford better oppor-
tunities for poor students to work
their way through school.
Rev. Carlson Of St. Paul spoke very
earnestly for removal.
DR.. M. Wahlstrom of St. Peter was
recognized and he said he would speak
from the standpoint of q school man.
He made IN explanation in reference
to the dearth of theological students
mentioned by DR.. Norelius. He
thought it was wrong to unduly influ-
ence young men to enter the ministry
regardless of their fitness for the
same. He also called attention to the
fact that the previous president of the
synod had found the supply too large
for the demands. 49,
The speaker had been connected
with the college q years and would
hardly be accused of not having the
welfare of the school at heart. Money
was an essential matter, but the good
wishes, prayers and interest of the
congregations should not be over
looked. He thought the music depart
ment would be benefited by removal.
To the business college location is
immaterial. twould pay its own way
and should leave surplus. The
preparatory department could not ex:
pect . large number of pupils from
cities in case of the removal, as the
we'll equipped free high schools would
continue to be utilized. The college
department would have to compete
with the university, and it would be
found that the best teachers and
pupils would slip, away from our
school and land In the university.
The U. is the centre of gravity in edu-
cational matters in the Twin Cities,
and all other schools feel the pressure.
He gave figures from the catalogues
Of Hamline, Manchester and others.
In case of removal he said building
would cost $3.50, 900; domitories and
other buildings must be provided;
added salaries would require an en-
dowment fund, at least $500, 900 should
be figured on for that. He thought

1t is possible to lose much by Titles.
| A classic case is that Of the royal
granary which was depleted Of its
stores by a succession Of "one rat came
and took one grain away, and another
rat came and took another grain
away" SO fortunes are dissipated, and
regulations are destroyed, and health
is ruined and character itself lost-by
little extraxagances, little indiscre-
tions. little negligences little obliqui-
! ties.
! Benjamin Franklin was great econ
omist not alone of money, but Of time.
He said, ITO teach young man to
shave himself Is as good as to give him
a purse Of gold" He had reference te
the minutes as well as the dimes IL
costs to patrouize the barber.
Ellhu Burritt stopped the leak in his
time and taught himself a dozen Ian
guages. Gladstone was equally wise,
for he read Plato in his carriage be-
tween Carleton terrace and the parlia-
ment buildings
A prosperous man ascribed his sue
cess in business to his habit of per-
hitting no particle Of material to be

There is a man in New York who has
in bank a goodly sum of money which

tempted to needless expenditure by the
specious plea. "'1is but nickel or a
quarter or a dollar" he denies himself
and drops the amount he would have
spent into a portable bank, which Is
filled with amazing rapidity. That Is
one way TO stop q leak.
More serious than any prudential
matter are the little leaks in life by
which vital energy is squandered and
moral force is diminished, impercepu-

times regard as inconsequential acts.

Slang In IG32.

In 1882 Coleridge In his Table Talk
spoke of the word talented as follows:
fT regret to see that vile and barha-
rous yocable talented stealing out OF
the newspapers into the leading re-
views and most respectable publica-
lions Of today. " J., not 'shillinged.'
'farthinged,' 'tenpenced' etc? The
formation of participle passive from
a noun Is a license which nothing but
a very peculiar felicity can excuse. If
mere convenience is to justify such at
tempts upon the idiom, you cannot
stop until the language becomes, in the
proper sense Of the word, corrupt.
Most Of these pieces of slang come
from America"
