WANT LEGISLATIVE HELP
FOR PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN
Minnesota Federation of Commercial Clubs Wants Leqis.
lature to Provide Funds to Advertise the
States Resources.

St. Paul Pioneer Press: In order
that the people of this as we'll as
other countries may be informed oil
the true conditions in Minnesota
with reference to it's resources,
climate and general desirability as a
place of residence the Minnesota
Federation of Commercial clubs has
inaugurated a campaign for the
purpose of securing an appropriation
of 100000 a year from the legis.
lature for state advertising purposes.
The initial step in the movement
was taken at a meeting of the Com.
mercial club at Herman in Grant
county. Red Wing followed with a
hearty Endorsement of the plan and
it will be taken up by the other clubs
in the federation in order to secure
the cooperation of all in carrying
out the plan.
The executive committee of the
federation has adopted the following
resolution on the subject:
Whereas, The State of Mime

fessional man, the manufacturer, the
capitalist and above all to the man

a state with the finest school sys-
tenn in the world, is opposed to
educational ideas it will make him
a pretty hard pill for sonle of the
enlightened Republicans tc "sv.a! =
low"
This statement might as we'll
be nailed now as any time, and
the truth be published. These
are the exact words Of the Re-
publican candidate for governor,
Mr.. Jacobson, in his campaign
opening speech at Clarkheld:
"That state is best economical
ly, socially, morally and INTEL
lectually which wisely spends
most for the education Of its peo-
pie. We have a splendid school
system, but I feel that some Of it
can be made more practical than
at present. Germany has, since
the Franco-Prussian war, taken
the lead in industrial education.
Her trade schools have been los
tered by the government as have
the schools of no. other govern
ment or state. The results are
becoming apparent. The hand
work of the German artisan is
supplanting that of all other civ
ilized nations. England is hum
bled, France is beaten, and the
United States is looking to her
for an example. To do thing
we'll, will call for a combination
of hand and head work and will
develop the highest culture meas
ured by a rational standard.
II plead for economy, but not
parsimony in all matters of edu-
cation. Spending money for a
good school, a good book or the
requirement of a good habit. is
economy.
Manual training, domestic
science, and agriculture furnish
the field. for our highest efforts
and our best thought.
"The farmer boys and girls,
because. Of their scattered settle
rnents receive to-day the poorest
chance for an education, Yet

no single calling in the state is
of half the Importance and if our
present school system is found
to be inadequate for their spe-
cial training, to make them more
intelligent, to make them better
farmers than they are at present,
this one should be speedily and
adequately supplied.
"Nothing suggests itself to me
at present to be more practical
and feasible than the establish
ment Of county agricultural
schools. They should be built and
maintained, partly by the state
and partly by the localities in
which they are established. If
they should become gift of the
state there would result as I'm
holy and undignifed a scramble
for them as the world has ever
seen.
"But by making it possible for
any county to acquire one Of
these institutions, they should
bear the largest burden them
selves.
1.-THE teachers to supply these
new school systems can be train
ed in the state agricultural
schools in addition to the work
already performed by that great
institution

ton to education"

plow." 1t is expected that by this
slogan he will be able to secure the
support of the farmers of the dis.
trict and through them defeat the
present congressman.
The senator has been going
through certain sections of the
district, stating that Stevenson was
an attorney and that the state had
mostly lawyers on its congressional
delegation, while there is not a
farmer, consequently he, as a farmer,
should secure the vote of the Ninth
district. AS a matter of fact, Steen-
erson has probably had as much ex.
perience on the farm as the seeator,

MUNICIPAL COURT mix"
ON IN DISTRICT COURT
Contention as to Signing Court Officers
Warrants Being Heard by
Judge Stanton.

Mayor ]. Pogue of this city ap-
peared before Judge Stanton in the
district court yesterday morning at
10 o'clock, according to the writ of
mandamus issued by the judge
ordering him to show in the district
court how he had executed the writ
for his signature on the City of Be-
midjl's warrants for the salaries of
judge and of the clerk of the NUM-
cipal court, which Mr.. Pogue had
before refused to sign.
Mr.. Pogue, through his attorney,
Graham M. Torrance of this city,
filed his answer, asking that he be
not considered in contempt of court
and that the peremptory writ be
changed to an alternative writ, thus
allowing him to explain why he had
not signed the warrants, on the
grounds that the plaintiff had with
held certain facts which,, if the judge
had known them would have caused
his honor to grant an alternative
writ instead of one of mandamus.
Judge Stanton then continued the
case until o'clock this afternoon
for a hearing.
This morning Mr.. Torrance stated
that he would show the judge where
the city charter declares that no
warrants shall be issued on a fund
in the city treasury unless there is
already money enough in that fund
to cover the warrants and all out
standing warrants previously issued
against that fund. Mr.. Torrance
said that he would also show that
there was no money in the general
fund to cover those warrants at the
time Mr.. Pogue refused to sign them.
When interviewed by a reporter
this morning, D. H. Fisk, attorney
for Judge Bailey and for Clerk Fisk,
stated that when a written demand
was served on the mayor for his
signature, Mr.. Pogue had not given
the fact that there was no money
in the treasury to pay those warrants
as a reason for not signing them,
but had simply refused on the
grounds that he (Mr. Pogue) had
been ignored all through the pro-
ceedings of establishing the court
and that the resolution creating the
court had been passed over his
veto, after which he had washed
his hands of all things connected
with the court. Mr.. Fisk believed
that it could be shown that that
section of the charter is unconstitu-
tional on the ground that in this
case it is interfering with the bust
ness administration of the city.

The Democratic press, on insti-

This is what the Democrats are
asserting:
when it is recalled that Mr..

the state what it so much needs, viz:
greater and much more energetic
development of it's natural resources
and the more thorough utilization of
it's tremendous agrtcultul opportuni-
ties.
BE it resolved, That the FEEDER
alton of Commercial clubs, CON-
posed of commercial clubs and SINH

urge upon the members of the legis-
lative body to the election this fall,
and upon the legislature when
assembled in it's next regular session,
the urgent necessity of providing
the state board of immigration with
an appropriation sufficient to prop
erly advertise the advantages of
the state to the world at large, which
appropriation in our judgment should
not be less than the sum of 100000
per annum,. and that such an
appropriation be granted under
proper and intelligent legislation
which shall at all times insure it's
wise, economical and judicious
expenditure to the greatest degree
compatible with maximum of
results, and under such super
vision and control as shall best
provide for the expenditure of such
finds along the lines indicated by
the best and most conservative
judgment of expert and recognized
advertising authorities.'

Famous Eminence Proves POpu-
lar Vantage Point for View
of the Battleships

Long before the great fleet had
weighed anchor the stream of travel
had set toward Telegraph hill and
when the Connecticuts bow showed
through the Golden gate the famous
eminence was alive with spectators
This vantage point was probably the
most popular in the city, for an un-
interrupted view could be secured OF

first one poked its nose by Fort Point
until the last one was safely at anchor
in the stream. where the whole fleet
now lies.

Aides prediction when they saw bay
and ocean enveloped in a low lying
rose, and it's last figments mingled on
the horizon with the smoke from the
tunnels of the big battleships.
GAY COLORs ON HILL
When the sun shone out 1t revealed
the SCARED sides of the old hill more
gaily bedecked than 1t has ever been
before in the many great pageants
which 1t has Witnessed. Flowers,
dresses and flags gave touch of color
to the assemblage that seemed a re-
fection of the peaceful errand of the
floating fortresses.
The seating accommodations were not
good, but no one complained, not even
the late arrivals, who were lucky to
secure even standing room. Some of
the more venturesome secured precari-
Gus perches on the rocks which jut out
from the cliffs where the blasting has
been done. but most of the spectators
contented themselves with the more
secure places at the top of the HILL.
SHOUT GREETS SUNSHINE
When the smoke from the saluting
guns began to settle over the fleet the
white ships loomed out OF It like ghosts.
and tremor of apprehension passed
over the crowd on the hill, for they
feared that their view would be cut
off, but when the Connecticut appeared
in the stretch of sunlight which began
at Alcatraz tremendous spontaneous
shout went up from the great gather
ing.
Many OF the spectators did not leave
the hill until the fleet had been at
anchor for an hour.
