FRANK M- Eddy Sank Center Herald
AS a striking illustration Of how
little public opinion rules in legis-

that the proposition to establish an.
Industrial school for girls in a differ

management from the state reform
school at Red Wing, is very liable

possible at the beginning of.the ses-

The women of the state are.unani-
nous IN the opinion that such an
institution should be provided for.
The commercial clubs and numerous
other civic societies have so peti-
toned. There is not the slightest
doubt that the public sentiment of
the state is overwhelmingly. in favor
OF such action. ThereI are only two

unable to fathom. The citizens of
Red Wing where the reformyschool

they have vested right in all re-
form institutions, and it'll will be les

under the leadership of one of the
ablest if not the ablest member of
the house, they have sogfar blocked
all action. 1t is up to the legis-

wishes of the women of Minnesota
and defy public sentiment?
