WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
State School Fund Well Manaqec

To the Editor Of The Journal.
Having noticed that on the first of this
month the permanent school fund of
Minnesota amounted to STRESSES of
which amount the sum Of $3,422549, as
shown by the public records, accessible
to all, was added during the three and a
half years administration of the present
state auditor, Mr. Iversou, have been
particularly impressed by the fact that
some effort is being made to prevent his
denomination for a second term. The
guardianship of the states public school
fund-tho only one Of many important in
terests belonging to the office-has been
regarded as an important test Of a state
auditors capacity and fidelity. 1t is not
intended as disparagement of any of Mr.
Iverson's predecessors to state the fact,
as shown by the published records, that,
| in proportion to period of service the
increase of our Minnesota state school
fund has been. greater during his ad-
| ministratfon than during the term of any
previous state auditor. Minnesota has
had four, and only four, republican state
auditors previous to Mr.. Iverson, each
one Of whom was reelected for a. sec
ond term. To change that rule now and
refuse a second term to an auditor who
has made an uncommonly good record
for efficiency and probity would, I sub
nit be- prejudicial to the public interest:
and a proceeding difficult to explain to
voters. .N--.a. Republican.

What Will Europe Say?

rope,'' says the New York Tribune.
Insurance scandals, followed up by beef
scandals, have become the theme of
discussion abroad, and the American
visitor will be likely to hear some re-
marks about American ways and Ameri-
can methods which will not soothe his
pride.

view. While the non-traveled portion
of the community are concerned about

likely to boycott Europe, and take their

the New York Tribune will faithfully
note the European pulse and be quick
to inform this throbbing country wheth-

to rub it in or whether, in consideration

ENGLAND and Anarchy.

The attempt upon the lives Of the
king and queen Of Spain is likely to
prove a distinct setback to the an
archist propaganda for the reason that,
while they are getting ready to reform
the world, the anarchists must have
somewhere to exist under the 'damna-
BILE laws,' which now curtail humanity
This refuge has heretofore been found
in England. America was pretty lib.
eral, but America was too far away
from the residences Of the kings and
emperors who were to be lifted in air.
London was comfortable, handy, and
the beer was excellent. Unquestion-
ably London was the place, and London
protected the anarchists very much on
the principle that the st. Paul police
are said to protect porch-climbers. They
ARE permitted to live in St. Paul pro-
tvided they do their exercising upon
Minneapolis verandas. ..~ ~.

abroad it is different. The czar has
