Czar BRYAN Turned Down.

The ukase of Colonel Bryan prescrib-
ing the time, place and manner Of Mr..
Roger C. Sullivan s retirement from
politics was not a blow in the air. It
was delivered in the most timely man.
ner to affect the result in the Illinois
primaries. This shows that Colonel
Bryan even while Willing away the
time in India or scudding across Judea
on a mule, kept in close touch with the
party in America. Few outside Of Illi-
nois knew when the primary would be
held, as it was under a. new law, and
the date fixed was earlier than such
events are customarily set for. But
Bryan had kept track.
Likewise it appears that his appeal
to the democracy of Illinois has been
turned down with sickening thud. The
Sullivan-Hopkins faction elected three
fourths Of the delegates to the coming
state convention, and it now rests
with Mr.. Roger G. Sullivan to say
whether the titanic commoner shall be
Endorsed or repudiated by the state of
MS nativity.
Czar Bryan is having the same trials
as other autocrats who attempt to rule
vast dominions by wire. He&may give
orders but he cannot know that those
orders are carried out. BY this time
the kaiser of Lincoln probably has
learned that in Illinois the seal of the
czar "don't co." on any old kind o1
a document.

Some reference was made the other
day in these columns to the demand for
graduates of the department of en-

was noted that men trained in mechan-
ical and civil engineering in this school
had no difficulty in securing employ

graduates to secure desirable employ

seems to be that experts in agricultural
pursuits will be more in demand than
men for other industrial occupations.
Tie science of farming is only just be-

sciences, and yet it is one of the most
interesting and inviting. It is invit-
ing not only because Of the compare

attractive field for the investment OF

Representatives Of different railroads operating
in the state thought the railroads were being
assessed too high but most of them said they

the board. The board will probably be in
session for most of the week.

Cole. and Good Roads.

The new state highway commission
has no funds for work this year, but
it is beginning to attract attention with
its plans for a system of state roads.
The possibilities of intelligent state
roadmaking are beginning to dawn on
the people of Minnesota, who will have
cause to appreciate the wisdom OF the
highway commission law more every
year that follows.
1t may not be generally known that
the law in question is another piece of
able constructive work by Albert L.
Cole, the republican nominee for gov
ernor In his two terms Of service as
a legislator Mr.. Cole has left a deep
impress on the institutions of the state,
and his record of accomplishment is
a strong argument for promoting him
to the office of chief executives: He,
came to the rescue when there seemed
little chance of passing highway
which united all interests. The con-
. stitutional amendment authorizing the
creation of a commission was adopted
by popular vote in 1898, but succeeding
z legislatures persistently refused to give
it the force of law. The road and bridge
grabbag tempted many members, and
there was deep feeling in all the newer
sections of the state that highway
commission meant money spent for ex-
pensive roads in settled districts, and
a standard of road-making which the
newly settled counties could not afford
to observe. The hostility Of northern
Minnesota defeated one bill after an
other, till the session Of 1905, when Mr..
Cole was chairman of the house commit
tee on roads and bridges. Two or
introduced, but they all met with the
same old objection. Finally Mr.. Cole
himself took all the bills and worked
out draft which was adopted with
hardly any change. It gives every safe
4 guard necessary to prevent wasteful ex
penditures of state money, and at the
same time is elastic enough to permi1
road-making on less expensive method:
for the newly settled counties. It also
1nsures every county a share in thu
fund, provided the conditions of the ac
are complied with. It requires economy
In administration, which will mean tha
every dollar in the road and bridg,
fund will go into actual construction O.
roads and bridges. -
The measure gives promise of gen
eral satisfaction, and the credit for it
passage is due to the republican nomi
nee for governor, more than any on
man. In his public life A. L. Cole ha
been a man who does things.

the necessary connection between work
ing and eating. The folks who come
without inducement usually make good,
and if they have any useless relations
at home they do not send for them, but
send back little money to keep them
where they are. Your head Of family
has more sense than government. If
he has any brothers at home who are
worth something, he sends them ticket
to come on and join him. But he has
wealth of domestic knowledge which
saves him from the folly Of sending out
transportation. for nephews who never
were and never will be competent for
day s work.

pursue agricultural occupations, where
as Of the graduates Of the old.fashioned
agricultural college probably not more
than s per cent engaged in agriculture.
Nor was there anything in the work Of
the old-style agricultural college to
awaken interest in agricultural pursuits.
On the contrary. the whole tendency
and influence Of the school was to take
the best types of young men and women
from rural communities and send them
into business and professional life in
the cities. s.
But Minnesota is not content merely
with school Of agriculture, which is
practically high school Of agriculture.
|Lt has provided in. the university col
legehof agriculture which builds upon
,the..work Of the school of agriculture
and equips men for positions of in
structors in schools Of agriculture and
gives them not only that technical edu-
| cation which is necessary to the agri-
| cultural expert but a liberal course in
arts and letters, making them men of
general culture as well as specialists.
And for such men the university is un-
able to supply the demand.
OF the twelve graduates Of this col
lege at the last commencement, two
have been engaged by the United
States forest service, one as assistant
chemist in the University of Califor-
MIA, one in the department of agricul-
ture' at Washington, another in the
California experiment station, two 9th
ers in forestry, two have returned to
the farm. one has gone to study bac'
teriology in the University of Wiscon,
sin and others are employed in other
ways contributing to the promotion OF
agricultural science.
It is the testimony Of those best ac
quainted with the situation that: there
is today no better opportunity any
where for young men Of industry ant
intelligence than in the field Of scien
!. tifc agriculture, acting as manager
and superintendents of enterprises
which cannot be successful without sucl
direction. Minnesota has spent grea
deal of money on agricultural educa
ton, but in no direction has her ex
penditure for educational purposes pro
