THE UNIVERSITY.

The friends OF the university are
now active in trying to persuade the
Legislature to pass large appropria-
tions for that institution. 1t is urged
that more ground is needed for the
campus, higher salaries for instructors
and q larger number Of instructors,
more buildings and more apparatus.
The truth Of the matter is that the
university has grown many times more
rapidly in proportion than the popu-
lation OF the state. Its needs have
increased at a greater rate propor-
tionately than the wealth of the state.
1t is now one OF the three or four
largest educational institutions in the
United States. Only one other state
institution approaches it in size. The
demands Of the institution upon the
state are therefore very great. There
is a feeling among many that the Uni
versity of Minnesota excels in size
rather than in quality. 1t is beginning
to be a serious question whether or
not the size OF the university is to its
credit.
The people OF Minnesota have been
most liberal in their provisions for
education. They will hardly be will
ing, however, to provide for higher and
technical education at tho expense OF
the common schools. After all is said
and done, the common schools arc the
schools OF the people, and their inter-
ests must be looked after before any
elaborate schemes for increasing the
facilities of the State University are
entertained. The friends Of the uni
versity will hardly make supporters
for their cause by representing to the
legislators that more should be given
to the university and less to schools
and institutions for the defective. We
cannot agree with those university
professors who maintain that the first
duty Of the state is to look after the
education and preparation of those
who are to do the worlds work. We
think that 1t is i'll accordance with the
principles Of tho highest civilization to
first look after those unfortunates who
are unable to look after themselves.
1t matters little how much the univer-
sity is able to accomplish if that ac-
complishment must be at the expense
Of neglecting those who suffer from
mental OF physical disease. 1t is some-
what surprising that friends of the
university should think it necessary
in order to gain their point to take
issue with tho friends of other state
institutions. BY so doing they put
themselves in the attitude Of opposing
the schools which are closer to the
people. Institutions established for
the mental and physical detectives ap-
peal with peculiar force to the justice
and humanity Of the people of the
state. The university is important.
Its work is far reaching. The state of
Minnesota is proud of it, but the state
Of Minnesota is not going to expend
ali its resources in building up uni
versity which already outstrips most
other slate institutions and univer-
sity which is already far too large,
. considering the population and wealth

ARGUMENTS PRO AND CON
ON SUNDAY CLOSING

cigars, tobacco and other Incl
dentals to last over Sunday.
To strengthen their argument
they point to the law which re
quires all places except liveries
and hotels to close. This law, they
claim, was framed by saloonmen as
protection.
In Washington cities where Sun
day closing has been insisted the
saloon men invariably retaliated by
closing other places. Then there
would be a compromise and every
thing would become open once
more.
On the other hand, here are some
of the arguments of the Law En-
forcement leaguers:
Every laboring man needs Sun
day closing because it will keep
him home, or, if the weather is
fine, allow him to take his family
out for a walk or enjoyment of
scenes around the parks: men and
women who are compelled now to
WI N Ou oulluds . Will SSSulC hiuSi
needed rest; Sunday closing will
make no particular difference in
wages. Cigar store men do not ex-
press themselves very strongly
either way because their Sunday
business isn't so large that they
would stay away from their fam
lilies to take in a dollar If they
all close, they argue, it would make
no difference, for the general pub
lie will consume just so much
goods if they don't buy on Sun
day.
The Secret Sixteen" who are
back OF the league. have strong
argument in the laboring man who
is married and has family which
under present conditions he Oft
times leaves all Sunday and hangs
around saloons. A drink here and
there and he don't get home until
late at night. He must be up for
work Monday morning or lose a
day. Instead of getting his good
rest on Sunday, he goes to work
Monday morning more tired than
he quit the Saturday before.
Chief of Police Rice is rounding
up saloon men as convenience pre-
sents. 1t will take several days to
get all of the 1877. Less than II
were arrested last night. The only
available man to do the work was
Detective Briley. Some of the sa-
loon keepers may attempt to hide
their identity. but it will make no
difference in the end, and the chief
would advise those who contem-
plate any such action not to do it.
He does not wish to take up the
time of his men for that work, be-
cause with the small force it is
hard enough TO patrol the town and
protect people from holdups ana

BY gibson GARDNER

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 81.
| A very common form of bribe-thS
most common in Washington since
railroad passes went the way--is
the telegraph and telephone frank.
This is how the WIRE companies
keep congress and government Of
ficials dulled to the need for federal
regulation or for ownership of
these great PUBIC utilities.
Not to have telegraph frank
book, If one lives in Washington, is
to be quite small potatoes" Ev-
cry member of the house of repre-
sentatives. as we'll as every mem
Der of the United States senate,
democrat or republican, has one.
When he uses up a book of franks
he returns the cover and gets an
other.
But not only is every congress
man so provided. Every bureau
chief, every subofficial of the
great executive machine of the gov
eminent, almost every newspaper
man, lobbyist or ex-member of
anything is on the Postal and
Western Union list for the little
blue book.
The books are said by the COM
pany to be "a courtesy" Manager
Taft of the Western Union when
l asked him about franks, said he
would not be at liberty to tell how
many were issued in Washington,
or why, or to whom. He said his
company regarded the matter as
favor and as a private transaction
between the recipient and the COM
pany. In other words, the transac-
ton savors of the secrecy of a
bride.
1t is doubtful if the average men,
Der of congress knows that the
telegraph trust has advanced its
rates within the last year some 80
per cent. The congressman sends
hundreds of political and personal
messages over the wires, and is
never asked to pay anything. So 1t
is not important to him that it costs
so cents to wire words to Chi
cago, where before it cost 40 cents.
But a United States senator has
two ways in which he can send
kilograms free. In his pocket is
the frank book, which is supposedly
for personal messages, and for
other work he has the privilege of
charging it to the government.

march of invention. The voice Is
quicker than the ticker and so 1t

POSTAL SAVINGS
ALMOST ASSURED

CHICAGO. Nov. S.-As the guest
Of the Industrial club last night
Postmaster General George Won
Meyer gave his views in regard to
postal savings banks, and the ex-
tention of the parcels post system.
He said he would recommend in
his report to congress the establish
ment and extension of both sys-
tens in his annual report. After
stating that $71,OO0,000 had been
sent out of the country by imi-
grants through the postoffice Won
Meyer said:
For a striking illustration of the
value of postal savings bank, take
the present time. Many small &C.
counts have been withdrawn from
national banks, trust companies
and savings banks by timid de-
positors, and the money has gone
into the strong box or into hiding.
On occasions like these what peo-
pie want is absolute security. Aft
err they withdraw their money they
dread loss by fire. but they do not
lose confidence in the security of
the government or its pledges.
Therefore the small accounts re.
ferred to would flow into the postal
savings banks and would be lea
back into the channels Of trade by
being deposited in the national
banks in those communities, to the
great advantage CT labor and in
dustry.
when crisis had passed and
confidence had been restored the
money would be returned to the
savings banks. because in the pos
tai savings banks it would receive
only about half the interest paid by
savings banks. If the money is
withheld from national banks or
trust companies it loses the benefit
of being drawn by check, nor if
deposited in postal savings bank
can the depositors receive accom-
mediation in the way of a loan or
the acceptance of paper. In other
words, the postoffice department is
not going into the banking bust
ness. 1t desires only to encourage
thrift and 10 offer an accessible and
safe form of depositing savings by
naturalized citizens and foreigners
as well as by our people living in
out of the way places"
Mr.. Meyer in conclusion said he
believed the need for both parcels
post and postal savings banks
would be recognized by congress
this year.

MORE GOLD

still continue to come from the
Golfers of Europe to aid the United
States in her financial troubles.
Goldman, Sachs & Co. announce
that they have engaged $1,650,00O
for shipment from London, and
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. announce that
they have secured 100000. The
Illinois Trust & Savings bank an
nounces that it will be able to Sc
cure 100000 This will put the
total Importation of gold this week
well over the $40,000,000 mark. I'm
der ordinary circumstances this
amount of cash would permit of
loan expansion of $150,000,000 had
not the reserves already been i'm
paired.
