A Matter Of Policy.

The later developments in connection
with the students publications at the
university, emphasize still further the
question whether the policy Of giving
the students full swing in the manage
ment Of these publications has not been
a mistake. The students do not seem
to have justified the confidence which
has been placed in them in the manage
ment Of these affairs. Athletics are
kept more closely in the hands of the
faculty, supervised at least more care
fully, and conducted more nearly in &C
cordance with business principles. I'm
doubtedly experience in handling such
enterprises as the Gopher and the Daily
ought to be valuable, but manifestly
such enterprises must be entrusted to
men of business capacity and integrity.
Developments suggest, as a moral at
least, that greater care should be taken
hereafter by the student body I'M the
selection of men to handle these publ
cations. Fitness and nothing else
should be allowed to influence the
choice. Fitness and nothing else will
count for success in the outside business
world. and it is not worth while to play
favorites in university business circles.
The committee of the faculty have a
difficult but important duty to perform
in correcting the policy Of the univer.
sity In this respect. Some criticism
has been expressed in these columns OF
the action Of that committee and. while

AUTO FEE MAY Be VOID
MINNESOTA Law LICENSING We
HIcLEs IS CALLED IN QUESTION
WISCONSIN OPINION CITED.

Attorney General Sturdevant of Wis
consin has given an opinion declaring
a license tax on automobiles unconsti,
tutional. The last Minnesota legisia-
ture passed such a law, imposing a So
tax on each auto, and requiring them to
be registered with the secretary of state.
Automobile owners of the twin cities
have asked Attorney General E.. T.
Young for an opinion as to the validity
of the Minnesota law. He is looking
into the question, and may agree with
the Wisconsin view.
The Sturdevant opinion gives four
reasons. First, such license is a fee
upon property, and not upon an occupa-
ton or profession. Laws licensing draw
men, expressmen, hackdrivers, etc, have
been upheld because of the necessity to
regulate their occupation and prevent
extortion. But drivers of automobiles
are not common carriers. Second, the
license is fee upon a right common to
all, and not privilege. The use of the
public highway is a public right, and to
deny it is to deny citizens equal pro-
lection under the laws, in violation of
the federal constitution. Third, the
license lew makes an arbitrary CLASH
fcation Of persons. Owners Of steam
thresher engines and other vehicles
which may be regarded as dangerous are
not required to pay license to use the
roads. Fourth, the license fee is double
taxation, because autos are also made to
pay taxes as personal property.

7. E. BYRNES URGED TO
HELP OUT THE CENSUS

Timothy E. Byrnes, now Of Boston,
but for years one of the chief republican
leaders Of Minnesota, will not be al
lowed to, give up his legal residence
in Minneapolis until after June l, if
Census Director Rain can prevent it.
Mr.. Rain has determined that every
resident must be counted, and that none
must get away without it.
Yesterday Mr.. Byrnes, who is here
to take his family to Boston, received
a long formal letter from the census
department notifying him that the
fifth decennial census would begin on
June l.. and that, as a good citizen,
he should be counted. He was urged
to stay by until that date, and was
furnished with a special blank to be
filed out and returned by special mes
senger.
At last, after much worry and work,
an enumerator has been found for the
flats below the Washington avenue
bridge. Many of these people cannot
speak English, and an enumeration who
can talk in their language was desired.
He has been found in the person of
James Y. Paper, university student,
who knows all the fat dialects. He is
working his way thru college and was
over to find his dialect an asset.

Learning from the Trust.

At the dinner in New York last
night, given to Whitelaw Reid, the
newly appointed ambassador to Eng
land, there were number of things
said touching upon our representation
abroad of nature to make an Ameri-
can feel not overly proud. This COW
| cred the consular service almost en-
tirely. Bishop Potter told of voyage
| around the world and of his expert
ences with American consuls at vari-
GUS points, many Of whom knew moth
ing of the people to whom they were
sent, could oftentimes speak the Ian
guage but indifferently, and could give
tho traveller little information Of value.
Not all were Of this stamp, but there
| were surprisingly large number on
the whole. IT, ~ss. .
Always there was salvation for the
traveller. Finding pothing obtainable
from official sources, the rule was to

was place of small Importance, in
deed, the traveller could always find a
representative Of the great American
trust, in every case a man thoroly
familiar with conditions in the country
and well informed generally. The
Standard has great many representa-
tives in Europe and in fact all over
the civilized and uncivilized world, and
| it employs only men who know their

out one of the strong features of Stan

taking, and the employing of compe,
tent men is first essential in the build.
ing up Of working force.
But the picture presents another view
equally impressive; it shows again the
bane Of politics. Instances almost in.
Vulnerable have arisen Of the bad eff
feet of political guidance in govern
mental appointments, but it is doubtful
if anything more effective than this has
ever been presented. The idea that the
Standard Oil company can afford tc
have competent men abroad and the
government cannot is, of course, absurd
Equally absurd it is to think that thru
the advices from these better informed
men the Standard might at times really
have better, at least more intimate
knowledge Of affairs in a particular
country than the government. The
difference is that the Standard selects
men for their business ability, and thu
government is too often guided by thu
political claims of applicants.
Happily, conditions are changing TO,

The Chicago Strike.

The situation in Chicago is slightly
changed. While nothing has happened
which can justify resort to violence
on the part of the strikers, or even the
spread of the strike, we question very
much whether the public sentiment Of
the country will sustain the employers,
and particularly the management of the
express companies, in the stand which
they have taken against employing
again any of their former drivers. It
appears that when the drivers went out
on strike they had no grievances but
struck wholly out of sympathy. They
were notified that no man who joined
in this strike and left his job would
ever be taken back again under any
conditions. The express companies ap-
parently put it strong in the hope Of in
ducing their drivers not to leave them.
Doubtless great majority of them
would have preferred to remain at their
work, but a strike was ordered and even
those willing to work were afraid to
do 50. 80
The teamsters union last Monday &C
copied practically everything that the
employers demanded in their terms Of
settlement. The teamsters yielded every
point and were ready to go back to
work without having accomplished any
thing by the strike, without even main
tanning their right to collective agree
ments with their employers, but they
stuck on the declaration Of the express
companies that none Of their old drivers,
however orderly and inoffensive they
may have been during the strike, should
have, their old places.
The employers of Chicago asked the
local managers of the express companies
to yield the point and remove the OBJ
stacle in the way of settlement. The
express men refused to yield and passed
the matter up to their superior officers,
most Of whom live in New York. These
superior officers supported their sub
ordinates, and the teamsters, ready to
go back to work in all other lines, de-
termined to stand s by their fellows
among the express drivers. The result
is that the strike has spread to still
greater proportions and more desper.
ate struggle is anticipated than that
which has characterized the strike here,
tofore. State troops have been put in
readiness for immediate action and the
situation in Chicago is one Of apprehen.
sion and business paralysis.
Of course, the refusal Of the express
companies to take back any Of their
old employees will afford no justifca.
tion for rioting and violence on the
part Of the teamsters. It will be the
business Of the city and county and
state governments and, if necessary
the federal government, to suppress
rioting and maintain order. The prob
abilities are that sufficient force will
be brought into the city to accomplish
this result, and the teamsters seem nc
nearer winning their strike than they
were week ago. But manifestly al
this trouble could have been avoided
if the express men had been willing te
yield the unimportant point that men

who were forced out and compelled to
strike against their will and men whom
the companies will doubtless employ
again when they get a chance, should
be allowed to return to their old posi-
tions. 1t was not even asked that all
should be taken back. The strike would
have been settled with the strikers

denim the lawlessness and faithlessness
to contracts on the part of the strikers.
It is equally it's duty to point out and

as the result of stubborn, uncompromis-
ing adherence to policy which perhaps
might just as well not have been laid
down in the first place.

Samuel Gonlpers.

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation Of Labor, was
charmed with his reception in Mime
apolis, and said so to the large audi
ence which greeted him at the new
Auditorium last night. Minneapolis
reciprocated the feeling. It was
charmed with Mr.. Gompers' person
atty, his oratory and his forceful, frank
way of putting things. Mr.. Gompers
is an advocate; he believes in his side
and he states the case for his side with
the earnestness Of counsel.
Starting with the proposition that
this is an age of organization and that
in getting together tho laborers are but
doing what they see done all about
them, Mr.. Gompers defends the move
ment as constructive and not destruc-
tive. He must, perforce, slide over a
good many serious mistakes in the labor
movement, but as an advocate it is not
his business to point those out; the
other side will attend to that.
The weakest point in Mr.. Gompers
speech last night was his denial Of the
existence of disorder in Chicago. I'm
questionably he is truthful and sincere
In saying that in the week he spent
there he saw not single encounter.
The time was one of lull in the strike
situation and his presence in the city
as a possible peacemaker was known
and no doubt he found, Chicago in bet
ter condition as regards order in the
streets than has been the case before
or since, but this fact does not give
Mr.. Gompers license to say that the
hurt labor. The facts are too well at
tested to be laid to imagination OF
malice.
The strong points of Mr.. Gompers
plea, and there is not man living who
can make them more forcibly than he
are that the general trend of the labor
movement has been upward. It has
taken into it's ranks the brightest an6
the dullest, the selfish and the I'm
selfish, the bad and the good, and has
moulded them into mass which il
more and more guiding itself by the
has done much to bring about this con
dition Mr.. Gompers is deserving of the
highest praise.
Born in England ifty-fve years ago
emigrated to America, employed as {
cigarmaker, imperfectly educated, al
ways pressed by the problem of exist
ence, Mr.. Gompers is one of those me1
who have achieved leadership in this
country Of opportunity by his own ex
ertions. Now in middle life, at the
head Of an organization which is E
power, we believe Samuel Gompers ha!
the disposition and the ability to make
it and keep it a power for good. The
record of the American Federation
under his quarter century Of domination
is good. It has made few serious mis-
takes, and we take it that it's leade!
is not disposed to spoil a record which
has made him trusted man among
labor men and an honored man among
employers.

The most effective way to tell a story
nowadays Is to tell it in pictures. Horace
Hudson has just issued 100 views Of Min

stranger with regard to the superior char
aacter of the buildings and public i'm
provements Of this city. Descriptive ar
ticles are we'll enough, but half tone re-
production Of a photograph generally
makes even a very plain prospect attrac-

no one can dispute. This little book
makes a. very serviceable souvenir.
