made to the farmers by the Promoters
of the scheme to get them to send their

If the farmers are wise, they will stand

very probabfe>that in the beginning they
will pay trifie more for the cream
than the country creamery, but should
they succeed in crowding the latter out
of business, which of course will be
their aim, different tune will be heard.
We may then look for Standard Oil
methods ard with no remedy at hand
to cointeract it. Every business man and

STATE TRUANT OFFICERS.
Legislature May Take Matter Up,
Hoffman Reports.

From Tuesdays Daily.
P. Z. Hoffman, an inspector in the
bureau of labor, has made report of
his work as Il special truant officer in
Mankato, where he investigated los
cases in twelve days. He was appointed
tr,lant officer by the SianKato school
board and acted as such from Dec j
to Dec. -, says The st, Paul Pioneer
Press He reports los children of school

&c. with inc,rable diseases and debarred

The question of securing nonresident
truant officers has received considerable
attention of late. This practice is rec.
commended in the annual report of j
w. Olsen, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, and the matter probably
will be taken up in the annual report
of w. II. Williams, commissioner of la
Dor.
The advantage Of having a nOn-resi
dent truant officer. it is argued, is that
he is not hampered by friendship and al
unwillingness to eros the purposes OF
his friends and neighbors. The local s,I-
perintendents are also subject to this
influence. and the best way to enforce Il
strict complianee with the compulsory
education laws. tits believed. is through
the employment of non resident Officers
for this purpose.
One scheme which has been mentione,
is that the state should appoint a mum
Der of trllant officers with jurisdiction
all over the state or in certain schoo
districts. These officers would be EN-
ploved by the state and would report t.
some state officer. either the superinten
dent of instruction or the labor commits
sioner. and would be responsible only tt
the state for the manner of the perform
ance of their duties.
If in the performance of his duties /
| local truant officer should tread on The
| toes of a locally influential citizen he
| would be in danger OF losing his posi-
ton through the influence OF that citizen
but with the officers appointed by thu
state this influence would be OF no avail
and The officers would be encouraged t.
perform their duties with fairness and
| Justice to all concerned
| An example of how this matter of loca
| influence works is related of one of tn,
| inland cities where the president of tn,
| local school board was employing bo,
| in his office who should have been al
school. What would have happened t,
the superintendent or the truant Office
if he had taken it upon himself TO re
primand the president of the board o
to file charges against him may easil,
be imagined. 90
The legislature undoubtedly will bt
asked to take some action with rcspec
to this matter at the coming session.
