What the Editors Say

we snail get some information and
some valuable results when. instead of
shutting up juvenile delinquents in
jail, or reforma tories. or perhaps in adj
ditlon TO that, We get down TO business
ard shut up the parents. For while
there is such thing as inherited in
corrigibility, and while children of the
best and most watchful parents do
sometimes go astray, the fact remains
that out of every 10 children who
onend do SO because of parental indo-
lence and neglect. and 9 out of every
10 adult criminals convicted and sen
fenced by our course have had Just
such a childhood. The way to cheat
the gallows and empty the peniten-
tiaries is TO guard the children.-Red
Wing Republican.
The Minnesota dairy and food COM
mission says it is very difficult for the
average person to distinguish pure ma
pie syrup 1t has been demonstrated
that the average person will condemn
the pure article as being aiulterated.
while accepting the adulterated article
as pure. Pure maple syrup and maple
sugar usually have a strong" flavor
which is often accepted as an adulter-
alton. The addition of cane sugar is
welcomed by many consumers. 1t is
not the intention of our pure food laws
10 prevent the sale of the mixed article.
The law only requires that it be prop
erly labeled so that the purchaser may
know what he is getting-Osakis Re
view.
AT last the state university and the
normal schools are removed from I'M
der the business management of the
board o. control, as the Perley bill has
passed both branches of the legislature
and only awaits the governors sigma
the board of control measure never in
tended to include the strictly educa-
tional institutions within its scope. 1t
was the present governor, then a state
senator. who offered the amendment
which saddled the financial manage
ment of the educational institutions
upon the board OF cOntrol.-Princeton
Union.
The Minnesota legiSla ture has pass
ed the resolution opposing the forest
reserve in the northern part of the
state. The reason alleged for this ac-
ton was that the reserve would retard
the settlement of the state. 1t is prob
able that there are other more cogent
reasons behind this movement. The
time will probably come before many
years go by when Minnesota will re-
gret this action of her legislators

The state and county treasures have
paid out 100000 in wolf bounties since
the first bounty was passed in 1886.
and yet half the state dares not ven
ture out nights without a torch in one
hand and a chunk of deadly canned
beef in the other. The best way to
eXterminate wolves would be to put
them under the protection of our game
laws.-Big Forks Compass.
Aitkin county has citizen who
seems to be altogether different from
the common run of humanity. Some
time ago he received aid from the poor
fund, and is now paying the sum back
as fast as he can earn it. Most people
take all they can get and roast the
county board because it was not more

What an increase in the passenger traf-

mean.-Pelican Rapids Press.
Did anyone really expect the legis-
lature to enact an anti-pass law? A
good many of the lawmakers would
give up their salary rather than their
railroad passes.-Red Lake Courier.
According to the census only per
cent of the inhabitants of the Philip
pines are altogether unciviliZed. But
it may take long time to civilize that
ninth part.-Duluth Herald.
