prohibit any other kind of canvass
ing for Office. There would be less
scandals and more fairness and the
primary would leave behind it less
soreness. Anybody with sense
enough to hold public office could
tell a crowd what he proposed to do
in the office and oratory would not
help anyone in such meetings. In
fact the man who gave a short, clean
cut statement in five minutes or less
would have the advantage in such a
campaign. A farmer or business
man could afford to attend such
meetings while if he has any bust
ness he cannot afford one of our
tiresome six months campaigns.
Such plan would make an induce
ment to fitness to come out for Of
fee. Our present method is a rotten
farce.

General Apathy Routed.

At the beginning of the present
campaign The Gazette called atten-
ton to the apathy of political talk.
For several years no particular in
terest has been manifested. We
shall have to take it all back. Not
for years has there been in Redwood
county any such general interest in
dictated. The campaign has been
conducted all over the county, a
pretty general school campaign hav-
ing been run by Chairman Dorm
berg. Except in one or two cases
the school houses and town halls
have been packed and people have
aged through one and two hour
speeches, following them with close
and interested attention.
This is as it should be. The Ga
zette wishes the same kind of cam
paign methods had preceded the
primaries. Had 1t been the rule In
stead of the exception a man might
run for office with less of the feeling
that he was engaged in a sort of
peddling at retail of his ability to
discharge the duties of county Of
fee. The most capable in the place
of the most cheeky would get nomi-
nations if people would take an in
terest. The ideal way to select par
ty nominees would be to hold public
meetings at central places through
out the county and there have can
didates state to the public why and
for what reasons they thought they
were entitled to nominations and

Supt. Olsen on Amendment No. d.
To the voters of Minnesota:

To the voters of Minnesota:
Under the constitution Of Mime
soto any legal voter is eligible for
any office that is elective by the
peoplesof his county or district. This
includes the county superintendency.
In response to a growing senti-
timent in favor of professional,
scholarly, expert supervision the leg
islature submitted what is known as
amendment No. A to the voters of
the state for their action at the cleo
ton of November, 1908. This amend
ment, if carried. will authorize the
legislature to prescribe reasonable
qualifications for county superin-
tendents.
The county superintendent them
selves, at their midyear convention,
held at Duluth on June 9. 1908, un-
animously adopted an amplifed res
olution of their special committee
composed of County Superintendent
S. w. Gilpin. ]. B. Arp and Fl. J..
Bebermeyer which, slightly abridged,
reads as follows:
THAT we. the county superintend-
ents of Minnesota, in convention as
sembled, do hereby heartily approve
of providing educational qualifca-
tons for said office Of county super
intendent of schools, and that we use
every fair and honorable means to
secure the adoption of said amend
ment; and further, that we ask the
state department of instruction and
the newspapers of Minnesota to aid
US in getting information relative
thereto before the voters of Mime
sofa.
In all the ci ty and graded schools
local superintendent and principals
are employed to properly plan and
supervise all their educational work.
but in rural schools the teachers are
largely law unto themselves as to
what shall be taught and in what
manner.
AT the present time no standard
of education is fixed by law for a
rural school supervisor, while that
of the city superintendency is the
highest grade of certificate granted
by thestate; and for a graded school
principalship, a professional certifi-
cate, or diploma from the advanced
course of a state normal school, is
required. Think this over. The law
of Minnesota requires principal of
a graded school-the supervisor of
at least three teachers to have high

educational qualifications before
they can accept the position, but the
same law makes no mention of any
qualifications for person who may
be elected to supervise hundred
schools, and sometimes more.
Will any intelligent citizen think
for one minute that more education
and training is required to supervise
three teachers in one building and
$50 pupils than is required to super
wise 200 teachers and 5000 pupils
scattered over an entire county?
Does it not seem ridiculous to ex-
pect teachers to pass examinations
before being admitted to teach,
while the supervisor Of these same
teachers is allowed to assume his
duties without even mentioning
qualifications?
Cannot the people of the state
get better supervision and better
training for their children by pro-
viding educational qualifications for
their supervising officers?
I'VE ask every citizen to give this
subject fair consideration, and his
aid in securing the adoption of the
proposed amendment"
Manifestly the county superinten-
dents are right and patriotic in thus
urging that the amendment be car
ried; and manifestly the legislature
acted wisely in giving abe people of
the state the opportunity of thus
providing a way to improve the
supervision of their schools.
Let every citizen interested in the
education of childhood for the best
and most efficient manhood and
womanhood appoint himself a COM
mittee bent on securing a full vote
for amendment No. 4.

st. Paul, Mimi, July 13.-In few
American municipalities have the citi-
zens themselves raised a more remark
able monument to their public spirit
than have the people of st. Paul, in
building and presenting to the city
for the perpetual benefit of the public,
one of the finest auditorium buildings
in the world, seating 5000 more peo-
pie than the New York Hippodrome,
and 9,4S1 feet larger in base area and
larger even than the Madison Square
garden and seating 1920 more people
than does even that famous structure.
Now that it is completed and has
proven its exceptional adequacy for
the purposes to which it is devoted, it
has become an object of especial sat
isfaction and pride to all the thou
sands who, moved by generous ambi-
ton for a greater and better city, gave
SO freely towards its erection. y
The structure was conceived in
April 1905. On Dec. II ot<the same
year the first contract was awarded
and operations on convenient site

the city. When the doors closed that
right $4,000 had been subscribed and
people were everywhere hunting for
their checkbooks. Within few days
more than $15o.000 had been sub
scribed. In early September, with
more than 100000 subscribed. the
committee selected a site. Contracts
We're awarded, the building was built,
and on it's completion was turned over
to the city of st. Paul as an edifice
belonging to the public forever.
The first opportunity the people of
the city had of viewing the beautiful
structure came on the night of the
opening ball, on the anniversary of
the beginning of the auditorium move
Lment, at which 1000 couples occupied
the stage at the same time, while TO-
600 people looked on. Many months
later, when st. Paul entertained Sec
