An Unfortunate Condition.

Franklin Waterman.
The school board has provided
that the parish schools close on
the 31st day OF May. This will
give Franklin a term of eight
months and lower St. Mary
something less than six. A
committee was provided for to
examine the conditions of the
buildings. with a view to their
being repaired and put in first
class condition. The short term
may work a material injury to
St. Mary's schools in the future,
because there is such q demand
for teachers that some of them
may conclude to accept the best
offers. We now have about the
finest aggregation in the State,
but if their term of service is
made shorter and their earning
capacity made much less, some
OF them will 90 to other places
where these conditions do not
exist.
Immediately following the ac-
ton of the board in making the
term shorter, six of the teachers
of the Franklin High School
placed their designations in the
hands of Superintendent Foster
to take effect within twelve days.
It will thus be seen that instead
of eight months, the term will
only be seven, and this viii dis
place arrangements for the chill
dren's promotion and there
by disorganize the graduating
classes, putting the faithful chill
dren, who have worked for the
prize one year further in the fu-
ture.
The cost of operating the
schools of ST. Mary for the
month amounts to a little less
four thousand dollars, and just
why a reasonable excuse for dis
organizing our splendid system
and falling out with the teachers
is presented, we fail to see.
Another bad feature is that
the State Board of Education has
provided that none but Normal
graduates can teach in the public
schools, and as there is such a
demand for those qualified under
this peculiar doctrine, none are
to be had for only one months
work. The diminutiOn of the
term is caused by the apprOpria-
ton of $4,000 for the repair of
school buildings, and in order
that there will be enough for the
contemplated purpose, the scho-
lastic term is cramped for this
purpose. This is what we call
raising L and putting a chunk
under it.

While local political interest
centers about the triangular sena-
1nriM contest, a larger interest
over the. state naturally attaches
to Tie prospects of Governor E. Y.
8xrles and his chances of securing
the republican nomination to sue
coed himself as governor of North
Dakota, By appointment, yester-
day morning, your correspondent
met the governor at his residence
in this city. He was engaged in
the, bucelic occupation of setting
out shade and fruit trees and
shrubs. in the grounds about the
$Sares home. It is a beautiful
place nestled close to the bank Of
the Gooseriver and overlooking the
natural timber in the city park
north Of the stream. The grounds
ara-tsrraced down to the river and
he governor and an able assistant
were placing trees and shrubs to
further beautify the lawn.
"I-have not yet laid down and
given up'the fight" was Governor
Sarles' cheerful reply to the query
as to- how things were shaping
themselves for his denomination.
Il believe 1 will have no trouble
IN securing the nomination" he
continued. Il have heard no par
ticular complaint as to my conduct
ofthe Office of governor, and be-
heve that my denomination is the

the state.

"This job Of governor is not
such a difficult one to a man Of
business training. It is large, but
not different from the managing Of
a system Of banks, or Of lumber
yards, such as we are conducting
in our business here. 1t might be
different if the state had large
manufacturing interests with the
consequent labor troubles, etc. The
most difficult task I had to con-
front this term was the pruning of
the appropriations of the legisla
ture to the income Of the state.
The members did not leave things
in the hands of their committee on
appropriations, but passed bills
recklessly. As a result, I had to
use the veto to bring the sum down
to about .s950,OOO from 100000.
Il have been reading your
articles from over the state with
considerable interest. Two things
are noticeable to me, one is that [
am not coming in for much criti-
cism, and the other is that most of
the leaders Of the so called reform
ers have an tex" in front Of their
names. Most Of them are men
who failed to get the support Of
their home counties and were
dropped by the organization.
Some of them may have genuine
grievances, but most Of them have
been honored by the republican
party and are disgruntled because
their hopes were not fulfilled in
certain directions. T,
eyes, [ believe I will be re.
nominated. I do not think that
there is much fault found with my
Observation-Disclosures of the enmi-
ty to my denomination comes thru
the feeling against Mr.. Mckenzie
and Mr. Hansbrough. I think Is
per cent Of it IS of that nature. T.
feel confident that I will get the
delegation from this county as
as I did two years ago. It
was said at that time that I could
not carry the county. I did but
little work-drove out and saw a
few Of my farmer friends with
whom [ have done business for
thirty years, and asked
them to support me at the eau
cuses if they could conscientiously
The result was that many of the
caucuses cast larger votes than the )
precinct did at the previous cleo
ton. I secured the delegation
little, if any, opposition.
Then the democrats put up al
popular Scandinavian who has
been in the county almost as long!
as I have, and it was said that II.
would lose the county. I carried

Spalding did when he was in pub
lie life. My relations with the SO
called gang have been very pleas
ant. Mr.. Mckenzie has always
been very considerable and has
never made a demand Of me. Or
the other hand, he has Away &C.
companied his requests with the
admonition to turn them down if
did believe that they were moi
right.
"Again, Mr.. Spalding says that
when I became governor there was
$4,000 in the state treasury and
at the end of the first year it was
gone, and that the state was in
debt $l5O,OOO, for which amount
bonds have been issued. The fact
is that there was $4,000 in the
general fund Of the treasury from
which all current expenses of the
year must be paid. To be sure, it
was spent during the year. But
we did not go in debt $l5O,OOO for
running expenses. There was
that amount standing out in the
nature of floating Indebtedness
when 1 took the reins of govern
ment. The debts had been con-
racted by the state institutions,
such as the university and the
normal schools on account of the
lack of large enough appropria-
lions to meet the needed. expenses.
Bonds we're issued and sold to the
board of university and school
lands to take up these warrants
and floating debts. We cut the
interest in two and saved some
thing to the state"
He further says, "that it has
been the custom of the state treas
urers to keep large sums in the
various banks of the state and
carry the amount in the treasury
in the nature of bank checks pay
able to the state; the state draw
no interest on these sums. I
do no know what other administra-
may have done, but not one
red cent has ever gone to any bank
in the state since I have been
governor without the state drawing
three per cent interest on it.
Il do not belive that my conduct
of the financial interests of the
state is deserving of criticism, not
Of that nature, in any event. 1
may have made mistakes, but they
were of the head and not of the
l have tried to conduct the
business of the state same as I
have conducted the banking bust
ness in Hillsboro. I challenge
any man to find any transaction in
all the years I have done business
in this county which reflects dis
credit on my name. I have tried
to conduct the affairs of the state
as I conduct my own business
cannot afford to do otherwise Il
not afford to tear down the
record Of a lifetime for paltry
political preferment.
