who are economizing and sacrificing
that the youngsters may have to the
full the advantages which have for
years been exceptionally given IN
this county. AS a rule, when the
mother decides that her children
shall have educational advantages
she gets them somehow. We know
MANY cases in our own high school
where tenant farmers during the
discouraging last few years have
kept from one to three children
steadily at our high school. With
such people the county is bound to
maintain high rank in the state.
Redwood county has the right to be
very proud of this splendid showing.
AS it is official and not made by any
one having any interest in booming
our schools we may accept it as a
fact that Redwood county pays more
attention to her schools than any of
her sister counties.
If any of our neighboring counties
wish to verify the fact that we lead
they can do it by examining the re-
port just printed in the twin city
papers for 1908.

SPLENDID SCHOOL SHOWING IN RED.
WOOD COUNTY.

Redwood county has cause to con-
graduate itself on the showing it
makes in the report of the state SUI
perintendent of instruction. In 1905
Redwood ranked 9th in population
and in this report it ranks 18th in
school children drawing state aid.
1t is far ahead of all counties any
where near it in population, out
ranking Brown. Kandiyohi, Clay,
LeSueur, Mcleod largely, although
each of those counties are ahead of
us in population, and falls but little
short of Rice county. which ranks as
thirteenth in number of people.
This showing is due to the con-
slant work of Superintendent Race,
the progressive and wide awake
local school officers and n. the last
big gain our hats are off to Superin-
tendent Bebermeyer, who is making
an excellent record in his office.
While Redwood county has in the
past gained very rapidly in popula-
ton, since 1885 springing from the
48th to the27th county and outgrow-
ing every other county in that time
in southern Minnesota, it is probable
that since 1905 the increase has been
very slight and we must look to our
growth in the school census as indi-
eating that Redwood county children
are attending school better than in
our sister counties.
In other words, we are raising
quality instead of quantity in our
crop of future citizens. That the
whole county is alive to the value of
schooling is evidenced by the increas-
ing numbers who are coming from
all parts of the county to our city
school. Lamberton is also doing fine
work and the course is being extend
ed in both Sanborn and Morgan.
Large numbers of country students
are going each year to all the other
village schools of the county and the
high schools in turn are sending in
creasing numbers to the normals

Pioneer Press: Selfsbness is the accu-
sation which number of people who
have heard Gov Johnson's speeches this
tall are bringing against him. They say
that he is bending all his energies to-
WARD electing himself governor. John

nomination after he; had SAID ne would
refuse it that he did it to save the party,
But now it looks as if the only part of
the party he cared about saving is John

lives M. E. Mathews. who is candidate
for attorney general on the Democratic
ticket Yet Johnson would not say a
kind word for Mathews in his speech.
And now it Is stated that Mathews has
the picture of j. F. jacobson stuck up
in his window. Apparently it was
placed there SO that the people should
see it and they see 1t.
And likewise in Rochester, where

The Bryan men don't know just what
to think of Johnson. At times they are
assured that the committee is working
hard for Bryan and working in the right
way. Yet they notice that in his speech
es Johnson passes up Bryan with one
short mplimentary sentence, giving
praise to his moral character, just as
the Republican speakers DO, but say
ing not word for Bryan's policies.
And their are a good many men
in Redwood county that will not vote
for Johnson any quicker for this dis
courtesysto Mr.. Mathews. who has
many personal friends in this county.
Why should not the Governor show
the usual compliment of a kindly
word for a candidate upon the same
ticket, in the latter's home town?

POLITICAL SCAvENGERS BENEFICIAL.

The Gazette will have to take is
sue with some of its contemporaries
in regard to the value of the work
done by both Pres. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Hearst in showing up political
shortcomings. Probably no more
valuable work has been done for the
public in the last so years than that
blast of public disclosure which has
recently driven out of public life
Senator Foraker and Gov. Hasl ell.
1t may be undertaking." but the
political safety and health of the
nation is far greater when corrup-
ton is exposed than when it is COW
cred up and allowed to sap away the
very foundation of the nation.
If Roosevelt shall have any rank
as one Of our really great presidents,
it must rest almost wholly on his
work for civic righteousness; on his
determination to allow neither vast
wealth nor political influence to
shield the men who prey on the ma
tional resources.
We think all will agree that out
side of this field of effort, Roosevelt
has not done any remarkable work,
but that it is because the people
believe in his absolute honesty OF
purpose in determining that rich and
poor shall obey only one law and be
equal in courts and legislation that
he has held as few presidents have
ever done, the absolute confdenc,
of the people.

sational and on the whole unhealth

it unfair. A proposition to exempt
all counties from the operation of
the bill where there was a brewery
would be unfair and a good temper
ance man might refuse to support
it. This is given as an illustration
that after the general policy is salts
factory, there might be trouble in
deciding upon particular measure
to carry the policy into effect.
The Gazette believes there has
been too much inclination to criticize
anybody who would not promise
obedience to some particular pet
measure of some particular organic
alton. Legislation is usually reached
by compromise and county option
law will be likely to be reached, if
ever, by a law that will be fairly
satisfactory to the greatest number.
Any man who would pledge in adj
vance to support any particular
measure until he had studied it over
and heard it discussed ought not be
elected. On the other hand The
Gazette is of the opinion that any
member Of the legislature who has
solittle faith in his own constituents
that he is unwilling to let them vote
on whether they want saloons or
not is disgrace to the county he is
representing.
The Gazette assumes that what
ever county option law is passed will
be simply another safeguard against
the evils Of the liquor business and
experience shows, and in fact the
leaders of that business admit, that
the business has been so conducted
that safeguards are needed to keep
it where it is not continually a men
ace othe state and society. This being
an admitted fact, no legislative
member from Redwood county
ought to refuse to take the whole
county and it's voters into partner
ship and allow the majority of the
people to control the traffic in the
best possible way suited to that par
ticular community. IF a majority
are opposed to the saloons. then let
them vote them out; if they believe
in and want them, then let the people
so decide and arrange other methods
of restraint.

cratic party, was Of such a character
as to be menace to the people Of
the state, he performed an equal
service to the Democratic party and
both times a greater one to the

Gus. Any party is worse that is in
any degree controlled by men Of the
Foraker-Haskell stripe, and this be-
ing a nation governed by parties,
anything that improves parties of
course benefits the nation.
| That Hearst said nothing about
either Haskell or Foraker that was
untrue is proved by the fact that
they both flew to privacy. Neither
are timid or modest men, both are
ambitious to lead in their respective
parties. 1t is not muck raking tt

public leader will object to publicity
in his public affairs.

There has been a good deal of
discussion as to the attitude of Mr..

very clear and very simple. He
believes in letting the people decide
that question and, if necessary,
would vote for a constitutional
amendment to allow such vote to
be taken. Can.Mr. Keefe give any
reason why the people should not be
allowed to decide it for themselves?

COUNTY OPTION.

There appears to be considerable
misaprehension as to what is pro-
posed by county option" some
people treating it as local option"
Possibly brief explanation will
clear up some of the confusion.
County option makes the county
the unit on the question of voting
license. By the provisions of most
county option bills upon a petition
of a certain number of the voters OF
county a vote may be taken as to
whether license shall be granted in
the county or not. If the vote is
against license then none may be
grated, and that county is dry; IT
the vote be for license then they
may be granted in that county.
Some people seem to think that if a
member is sent to the legislature in
favor of county option and there are
enough others of like mind that
brings in prohibition. This is not
the case but under any county option
law the majority of the voters of the
county would have to vote against
the saloons. In other words the ma
jority of county would decide that
question.
The argument for county option is
this: That the county as unit
pays court expenses, provides for
the poor and generally bears all the
burdens caused by abuse of the
liquor traffic, and that it is no more
than fair that the county should de-
eide that question.
Certainly the man who is candi-
date on an anti-county option plat
form is not paying very big tribute
to the intelligence Of the voters, as
he is saying in effect that they ought
not to be trusted to vote at all on
the question. If the majority of
his county do not want prohibition
they cannot be forced under any OF
these bills to accept it but can keeI
saloons if they want them.
A person who believes it all right
to have saloons can consistently ia
vor county option as it is simpl.
giving to the majority ofshis peopl
the right to do their own voting
He refuses to decide that question
for them and wishes to let them de
eide it.
Local option is where the munici
pal subdivisions decide the questio
and it is usually limited to the small
err divisions, such as townships, wi
lagos and cities. In this state we hav
direct local option in the towns an
villages and an indirect local optic
in most of the cities. In the forme
cases the vote may be directly upo
the question; in the latter it can b
reached by voting for men who wi
not grant license.
Again man might be very willin
to vote for county option and yet b
unwilling to support any certai
county option bill as he might deer

The name of Rev. @. H Hamly,
a Chicago Baptist minister. de-
serves a prominent position on
the roll Of fame. In a sermon
last Sunday ne strongly advocat-
ed the taxation of church proper
ty. "The church of Jesus Christ, :"
he SAID, Twill never have render
ed unto Caesar the things that
are Caesars until she has paid
her full quota of taxes on all
property she possesses. State
and local governments are sup
ported by taxes assessed upon
property. The rate of tax de-
pends upon the amount of prop
erty assessed. The more properly
ina taxing district the lower the
rate. To exempt no property in
a taxing district is to lower the
rate. To exempt property is to
increase the rate. Now there are
Millions of dollars worth of church
property that is exempt from tax.
The burden of tax upon the re-
naming property, therefore,
must be increased to make up the
differences and thus citizens who
may have no interest whatever
in the church and who may not
care to labor toward its work are
compelled indirectly to do so."
