j slhetSt. Paul Dispatch ia. an edito-
ria call attention to. the .discrimfna-.
ton: against normal schools insfayor
OF ,theluniversity.. It shows thatteach-
ers in the secondary schools must
have state certificates, aud that the
certificates are granted without exa-
minatton to persons having completed
the suniversity course, which does not
now. include any instructions in peda-
gogics, while graduates from the nor
mails, which are supposed to give spe-
cisl attention to preparing pupils for
teaching, are required to take an ex-
animation. This is certainly an in
justice. To maintain at great expense
five special schools for training teach
ers, and then discriminate against the
graduates: of those schools is the height
of folly. A person who has finished
the advanced course at either of our
normal schools is certainly qualified,
az far as schooling can ever. qualify
anyone, for teaching in the secondary
schools. The graduate from the uni
versity may have little more instruc-
tion in some fol-de-rols that are never
taught in the secondary schools, but
the special training received by the
normal student. ought TO- more than
outweigh this. When q, person has
finished the required branches in q
state institution and passed a salts:
factory examination it ought to be
good for certificate in those branches
everywhere in the state. Whether the
person will make good teacher can
be determined only by actual trial In
the schoolroom. When that is deter
mined the university graduate and the
normal school graduate should be
treated in the same way in the issuing
of state certificates.

.SADN EsS REleNS..

Hardly had the BELLS :tolling tie fu-
neral knell- Of two of the victims OF
Saturdays dlsastertceased vibrating
when the' newsswas flashed over I'd wn
that the Angel of Desth had, accord
ing to human ideas, lprematurely re-
moved one Of ourEuyoung men from
this world. Lewis Moline, Jr., has
laid down the burden'of life and en-
tered the valley of death. The news
was severe shock to- all, as few had
known that he was seriously ILL.,.
The expressions of some of Will.
mars Leading men. quoted elsewhere,
show the deep esteem in which the de-
ceased was held and the feeling of sor-
row that prevails. >Two general ideas
run through all these testimonials-a
high tribute to his character as a sue
cessful, honest business man, and an
acknowledgment of his genial kind
natore. 1t is sad that such man
should pass away just in the early
prime of his life. The loss to the
community is great; the loss to the
family is unreasonable.
Yet sad as it may be it is not by far
the saddest kind of q death. A life
that has accomplished enough to leave
such testimony of worth and such ex.
pressions OF regard Ia not lost. "We
live in deeds, not years." and many q
man at thirty has truly lived Ion ger
and to more purpose than others who
have dragged out an existence for
selfshness and lust through or beyond
the allotted three score and ten.
When a man who has won such re.
gard as the deceased fellow citizen hos
done, there will cone a time in the
future when the bitterness of parting
Is gone, when time has poured it's bal
sam in the wound. Then the mind
can revert to the happy past and re-
view the happy scenes of bygone da rs.
That relief Is left only to the relati3ep
and friends of those who have lived
we'll and nobly. How much better to
leave such q memory than to leave re-
membranes that the mournefs would
give years of their lives to be able to
forget.

MUNICIPAL GRATING.

Mayor Harrison of Chicago and the
head of every city department, save
one, says ''grafting" is common in
Chicago and that they are powerless
to stopit If Chicago was the only
city thus afflicted it would be aeon
.paratively small matter, but the fact
is that every city where q thorough
investigation has been made has been
found in tina same fix. 1t is q dep1or-
able fact, but it is fact that few will
attempt to deny. This being so fs the
strongest reason to be given against
municipal ownership of public utili-
ties The theory of such ownership is
beautiful one, but In practice it does
not work, simply because corruption,
tncompetency and neglect of duty more
than Offset all the good to be expected.
For these reasons, If for no other, city
government should undertake no du-
ties that can be performed by individ-.
sals.-Fairm News. =.
The editor Of the News seems to;take
especial delight in digging up evil
dences or suspicious of crookedness
among officials, in order to get a
chance to rail against public owner
ship of public utilities. This position
Is an unfair one. There is grating
and stealing going on all the time in
affairs owned, by private firms or COR
porations. Hence it would be- just as
fair to argue that ownership of prop
erty should be totally abolished in
order to stop stealing.
AS long as we have dishonest indi-
viduals we shall find some of them in
public positions, and occasionally
they will make use of their positions
to make some money at the expense
of the public. This cannot be entirely
prevented, though an enlightened pub
lie sentiment can do much to make
grating more difficult But the true
test OF public ownership comes in the
cost to the public" compared With the
cost the same service given by q
private corporation. Take tie Ell postal
service, for instance. There has been
gratting e. going 81 for a long time.
Perhaps millions Of dollars have been
stolen. But this is a mere bag atelle
com pared with the enormous sums
that would have been taken as profits
If the service had been in the hands Of
q private corporation.
As far as street railways and light
plants are concerned there is probably
more grating going on now where the
service is in the hands of private COR
porations than can possibly be done
where they are owned by the munich
palities. The stories of large brides
for franchises and privileges are too
we'll known to need more than q mere
mention. The grating in St. Louis
WAS not In connection with plants
owned by the city; it was in connec-
tion with private corporations seeking
special privileges. The worst bood-
ling cases Chicago ever had was in
the same connection. And every bit
of that money had to come out of the
public The corporations seeking these
privileges figured that it did not mat
ter much what thew had to paw to get

''Why?" he asked
That, was the reply, and the clerk
indicated the little piece of wire, lis
a part of broken jimmy that the
burglar accidentally left behind him."
AS quickly as he could the clerk
went downstairs to look for his man.
but, as he suspected. he had flown in
the night. All he could do was to
lock the little piece of wire in the
office safe. tell the boarder he was sor-
ry that he had sustained a loss, notify
the police authorities and-wait.
few days later the chief detective
of railroad running into the city
walked up to the hotel clerk.
I've traced a benevolent old chap
with a long white beard to this hotel, -
he said. Hes one of the country's
famous sneak thieves, and we're af-
ter him for lifting our patrons bag
gage in the waiting ROOM
The clerk told his experience with
the willy patriarch, and the upshoot of
the exchange of confidence was that
the hotel and the railroad each offered
to pay half of the expenses incurred in
running down the man.
The chase occupied a year, then one
day the clerk received word that the
thief had been caught in Philadelphia,
and was now in the local Jail. Thither
the clerk went and identified the man
weeks later and on the witness stand
told what he had found in the room
that the prisoner had occupied on the
night of the robbery; and his testi-
mony was corroborated by a little
/ piece of twisted wire and the evidence
of the robbed man.
The little piece of wire, that only g
person who was born detective
! would have discovered and recognized
as being of great value, did the bust
