100000 Spent on Furnish

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Harrisburg, Pa, Apri '24.-As a re-
suit of the investigation by the legis-
lative committee into the expenditure
Of 100000 for furnishings and decor
ations for the new state capitol, it is
probable that criminal proceedings
will be instituted by the state against
certain persons who have prominent
~ figured in the investigation.
Both Governor Stuart and Senator
Fisher, chairman of the investigating
commission. have declared their belief
that enough evidence has been brought
out to warrant such action. The gov
ernor, it is said. will lay the matter
before the attorney general as soon as
the commission has made it's final re-
port. The commission has been in
vestigating charges of extravaganza
overcharges, duplication in payments
of bills and fraud for nearly two
months and has yet to take the testi-
mony Of many important persons who
have knowledge of the subject under
consideration. Among those to be ex-
amined is former Governor Penny
packer.

LOCALIZED INSTITUTIONS.

The Lidgerwood BroadaXe has a
decidedly sensible editorial on the
local trouble which is said 10 have
resulted in the resignation OF Presi-
dent Carhart as principal of the May
Vile Normal. and takes the position
that the school is not Mayville in
stitution and the people of that place
have no more to say in reference to
it's management than those of every
part of the state.
The Evening Times believes the
principle laid down by the Broadaxe
should be carried much further. In
the fights for appropriations for the
several educational institutions, the
local idea is the controlling one. The
university is an institution for the
whole state, and the city of Grand
Forks and Grand Forks county should
not be charged with any more re-
sponsibility for its success or be held
more liable for its failure than every
other city and county in the state.
The same is true of every other state
institution and the community in
which it is located. The support of
these institutions should not be local.
lied. The custom of having the ap-
preparation bills for them introduced
and fathered by members of the leg
islature from the county in which the
institution is located, has given the
money side local significance. These
things ought not to be.
Not only in a financial sense but
in every other, the people of the en-
tire state should consider the needs
of the higher institutions of learning
and give them just the same support
as though they were located in the
respective communities interested. In
a word, the support of the state edu-
cational institutions should be state
wide rather than local. The inter-
ference of people in their management
for local reasons will force the peo-
pie generally to insist upon this con-
sideration.
The institutions are not wholly
without blame in this particular. The
contest over courses, the rivalry for
appropriations and the agitation of
special advantages which has marked
the history of these schools too much
in the past, have served to develop in
the public mind an impression that
there is local rivalry between them,
and from this it is not far removed
step to local control. .
The efforts made last winter to har-
monize these differences, it is hoped,
will bear the fruit which the friends
of the movement hoped for. If they
do, the educational institutions will
lose their local significance, will be-
come state wide in fact as we'll as
in theory, and will not be subject to
local prejudices and local contentious.

MOVEMENT Of

Northwestern Assn Takes Ac-

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Minneapolis, Mimi. April 24.-What
promises to be the biggest "get to-
gether" movement in the history of
transportation has just been organized
by Secretary w. G. Hollis of the North
western Lumebrmen's association. The
plan provides for a car service de-
partment of the association. All men,
bers agree to submit to it all claims
and complaints against railroads. The
department will investigate and pass
on to the railroad at interest only
such claims as they deem meritorious.
For their part, the railroads agree
that these cases shall be accepted in
good faith as the basis of such action
as shall seem appropriate. There are
$500 members in the Lumbermen's
association covering Minnesota. Iowa,
North and South Dakota and that part
of Nebraska tributary to northern
markets. The plan has been thor
oughly canvassed by head traffic Off

A STUDY IN BRYAN.

People, especially those who have
been fortunate enough to have listen
ed to the eloquent Nebraskan on the
lecture platform, have much difficulty
in separating the rhythmic flow of
chaste English, the gentle though ir-
resistible logic, and the firm and in
evitable conclusions from other than
the mental accomplishments of
great thinker whose fundamental
ideas are founded on the bedrock of
common sense. They are unable to
distinguish between William Jennings
Bryan as a lecturer, leading the minds
of his listeners along unobstructed
and primrose bordered paths, and
William Jennings Bryan seeking to
discover footpath through political
mountains, where every footstep is
'beset with difficulties and surrounded
by obstacles.
His irreproachable private charac-
ter, his personal honesty and his f.
deity to a lost cause have given him
a commanding place in the love, es-
TEEN and confidence of the American
people irrespective of political affilia-
tons or party allegiances.
But as a partisan and statesman,
he is failure, and disappoints as
completely as he pleases in his popu-
lar character. The trouble with Mr..
Bryan is that he fails to grasp the
generic principle of free government
politics. that conditions and not men,
make party issues. The principle of
human liberty which called the re-
publican party into existence, was not
man-made. No declaration of party
or edict Of party leader. however
great, could have made the issue

Minneapolis can be justly proud of
such an organization and their appre-
citation of it and the work of Mr.. Ober-
hotter is shown by the fact that last
year the business men OF the city
raised a fund of 100000 per year for
the support Of the orchestra.
AS representatives of the oratorio
society Of a western city the board
of directors of the Grand Forks soci-
ETY. could do no better than recog-
nize the true artistic musical great
ness OF this superb organization and
its greater conductor, and engage
them for the coming May festival.
The orchestra will be heard in a
symphony concert, also in accompani-
ments to. the Hiawatha's wedding
feast and Handl's Messiah.

MADE A GREAT CHIT.
Fargo Young Man Performs a Nice
~Skit" at Grand Forks.

Fargo Forum: A popular young
man of Fargo went to call upon a
Grand Forks lady and, desiring to
make an excellent impression on his
initial visit, he borrowed his room
mates suitcase. AS he did not intend
to remain away but day he did not
put anything in the case, and while
walking down South Third street,
Grand Forks, with his sweetheart, the
suitcase flew open much to his regret.
This performance was so heartily en-
joyed by both the discounted Fargoan
and his lady friend, that the former
swears that he will not take suitcase
with him on his next visit to the Forks.

presidency and caused three hundred
and sixty thousand men to offer their
lives as a sacrifice on the nations
altar. That issue was made by events
and circumstances over which those
who accepted it as their political plat
form, had no control.
Mr.. Bryan has attempted by his
mere edict to make political issues
and party platforms. Under his lead
ership the democratic party has
searched in the junk pile of theories
for party issue. The nearest he or
the party of which he was the can
didacial representative, ever came to
adopting condition as its basic prin-
ciple, was in 1896. The free coinage
of silver at 16 to was something OF
a condition involving principle. But
in Mr.. Bryan's hands it lost whatever
potentiality it ever had and became a
mere sophistry.
Imperialism, superficial man-maie
partisan contention, fell fiat because
there was no conditions making it
living, burning question of intense
human interest. The creation was
Mr.. Bryan's.
A few months ago, intoxicated with
the homage of his party. followers, he
enunciated new party principle
the public ownership of the railroads
engaged in interstate commerce. No
conditions demanded this radical
change, no sound business judgment
supported it, no wise craftsmanship
endorsed it. The party, having learn
ed wisdom by defeat, refused to fol-
low in the wake of its leader and Mr..
Bryan abandoned the idea. Had he
not have done so, the people would
have done it for him next year as
they abandoned imperialism for him
in 1900.
Now comes the story that in a re-
cent eastern speech he announced
that the salvation of the American
people and the perpetuation of Amer
lean institutions lies only in the adop-
ton of the initiative and referendum.
Upon this ism he is content to stand
or fall. 1t is the long-sought demo-
cratic elixir of life.. Just why he
had not found it ere this we are not
told. How it will solve all the dan
gerous problems, cure all the ills of
the body polite which Mr.. Bryan has
found in the past, we remain equally
ignorant. Whether this will hold the
boards until the next national demo-
cratic convention places the party
standard in his hands, is problemati-
cal. But it shows the dangerous alb
surdity to which the party has been
forced in seeking peg upon which
to hang its hat. AS in the democratic
past, it is an issue man-made, theo-
retical, academic and impractical
Bryan will be his party's candidate.
His ideas are largely the principles
of his party. His inconsistency and
political vacillation prove his political
weakness. The sooner he is elimin-
ated from serious consideration as a
political factor, the safer will be the
country and its institutions.
