PRESIDENT DoCILE.

President Roosevelt may not be
slow to anger, but he is plenteous
in mercy. He has modified the
ukase against the Boston Herald.
Hereafter our cultured contempt
rary will be permitted to print
the weather reports and other
"routine news Of the Federal
government.
While there is no excuse Tor
printing fibs about the President s
children or anybody else's chill
dren, it is as well that the edict
has, been modified. After all, Mr..
Roosevelt does not own the news,
in spite of a popular plurality OF
100000. The news is not his per-
sonal property. 1t is not even a
handsome trinket, like the Cross
of the Legion of Honor, to be con-
ferred for distinguished service.
The Herald has been punished
enough. All the world now under
stands that it was capable Of be-
lieving that a ten-year-old boy
would pull feathers out OF a tur-
key gobbler's tail. Everybody
knows that boy would do moth
ing of the kind. Least Of all a
Presidents son. Noblesse obllge.
We are still wondering, how
ever, what would have descended
upon our Boston friend if it had
ventured to insinuate that one OF
the Presidents sons tied tin can
to an alley dogs tail or heaved
stone at a stray cat. Nothing
less than the fire of heaven. OF
that we are sure.

bear it. However, the question: while
introduced in this campaign, is vital
only so far as it applies to the incli-
vidual duty of the voter, upon whom
rests the responsibility of passing or
defeating this constitutional amend
ment; and it is an issue in this con-
test so far as it will become the duty
of the governor and the legal depart
ments of the state to enforce the COL
lection of the tax, should the amend
ment prevail at the polls. This brings
US to another view of the question,
to our opponents. The main issue of the
campaign was omitted from the plat
form by convention which stands ac-
cused of having been dominated and
controlled by corporate interests. 1t

solute honesty in all of it's public Of
ficials and discretionary power not
conferred by law but assumed by tie
officers of the law can be so abused
as to border upon dishonest service
and invite just criticism. My oppon-
ent in this campaign in reply to the
preferred charges of a public officer
commissioned to investigate his rec
ord as public official, says that he
did nothing he was ashamed of ard
adds that he would do the same thing
again.
That is not satisfactory answer yet
it may be taken as an index of the
course he might pursue should he be
elected governor of this state. The
duties of the chief executive are tc
administer the laws of the state with
out fear and without favor to al.y
individual or set of individuals. Good
government is the result of obedience
to the law and it is the duty of the
officers to enforce the law as it is and
not to govern by a standard of what
the individual thinks the law should be.
The exercise of a discretionary power
and thus setting at naught the laws of
the land can only result in government
that is contrary to the best interests
of the state. 1t is alleged that by the
exercise of this discretionary power
gain has come to private individuals
and corporations and great loss to the
educational institutions of the state.
The state has safeguarded it's inter-
ests by laws for the proper regulation
and control of the public business and
no man has right to set aside that
law and safeguard.
I do not make the charge of per-
sonal interests or dishonesty on the
part of my opponent, but the charge
of usurpation of authority which did
not belong to hlm is graver than tie
other. And the same course followed
in the conduct of the greater office to-
which he aspires would endanger the

the government is not greater than the

one arm of the government ignores
the other and sets aside its will, the

THE BOARD OF CONTROL.
The management of our state insti-
tutions is properly an issue in this CAM
paign. Two policies have been pur-
sued at different times. For years
they were managed by separate boards
of management, but more recently by
board of control. Mr.. Dunn was one
of the early advocates Of the pres
ent system, and as state auditor urged
the adoption of the present plan by the
legislature. AS a member Of the state
senate I resisted the innovation as far
as it lay within my power. Hoping to
defeat the measure 1 favored an
institutions, as to their financial man
agement, this amendment being offered
by myself.
I have no apology for that action
now. 1t was not an action prompted
in any way by any unfriendliness to
the state university, the normal
schools or any other educational insti-
tuition, but was prompted by a thought
Of the best interests Of the state and
those institutions operated by the
state and with the belief that the
board of control would become parti-
Fan and be used to further political
ends Of those in power.
I believe that the past has to some
extent borne out that view of the uues-
ton. There must always be a differ
ence Of opinion as to the best method,
but the state is practically agreed that
it is the duty Of society to care for its
unfortunates, and undertaking that
duty, 1t becomes the further duty to
,, perform it to the best advantage of
those coming within the scope Of pa
ternal care.
The board Of control has doubtless
made some saving in some Of the de-
partments of its work, but often this
has been done at the expense of the
the state. However, it is manifestly
unfair to unduly criticize the system
without being in possession Of the
facts.
Contracts are made in secret and the
business of the public is withheld from
the public itself. Freedom should pre-
vail and suspicion might be removed
by having public business transacted
, in the light of day. AS our nominee for
governor stated in the last campaign,
the important question is not in the
saving per capita. but whether the
state receives adequate return for every
dollar Of the money expended in the
care of the state wards. The system
Is comparatively new and is entitled
to fair trial; it should be removed as
far as possible from the machinery and
spirit Of partizan politics. and while
altruism should obtain in the manage
ment of the penal and charitable in
situations of the state. there should
