WHY School Board Members1

In another place appears the
names of the local trustees OF
parish schools, in so far as &C
ceptances have been received
No spirit of caviling is suggested
by the personality of these men,
all of whom are good citizens,
but it will occur to almost any
disinterested observer that sew
eral of these trustees are already
members of the School Board
and therefore ex-ofticio trustees
of the schools near which they
reside. If the purpose of the
appointment of local trustees be,
as we take it, to widen the inter,
est and increase the sense OF re-
sponsibility for the carrying-on
of these schools, it would be well
to choose others beside school
board members, as these are al
ready interested in the schools
We are loath to believe that nc
other good citizens can be found
to act as coadiutOrs of the gentle
men of the School Board in lOcaJ
supervision of the schools.

THE PACKING PLANT CONTROVERSY.

The whole state of Minnesota is interested
in the present "packing plant controversy" be-
tween St. Paul and Minneapolis, not only be-
cause the whole state becomes interested in
anything to which the city dailies devote con-
siderable space but also because the state is
concerned in the matter of establishing better
market for live stock in the twin cities and al
so is concerned in what effect the proposed
plant will have on the university the state
fair and the agricultural college in which it is
directly interested
So much has been said in the various state
ments issued on both sides of the controversy
that it has been very easy to lose sight of the
very simple issues involved in the case. ST..
Paul claims that the stencil arising from
large packing plant will be very detrimental to
the state institution and the residence section
in the Midway district, and that the plant
should be located four miles north of the pro-
posed site, while Minneapolis claims that there
will be odor from such modern plant as
this will be and that both cities and the whole
Northwest should welcome the plant for the
effect it will have on the stock market in the
twin cities.
It is but natural to presume that the whole
controversy finds it's beginning in the ancient
rivalry of these two cities, and yet we believe
that only in limited sense is this true. The

SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1909.

If men expect in truest senses to succeed
in business permanently all chicanery, sharp
practice, dishonest dealings and low cunning
must be given up. It is true that temporarily
the employment of these things may produce
apparent prosperity. But it is only matter
of time when these practices are revealed in
their true light and the men who indulge in
them meet with well deserved public condem-
nation. No can be said to be prosperous
who forfeits the esteem of his fellows. There
fore, men engaged in business and professional
life must understand that without integrity
and upright business dealings true success is
mpossible-Milroy Echo.

NEWSPAPER WRITING.

To the newspaper drudge the futility of all
newspaper writing must often edge it's way into
his tired fancy The best of it seems quick
1y swallowed by the ocean of currency. like
waves upon the beach, each day succeeding the
other to efface it's existence. Words, words;
. even thoughts, thought what does it matter?
Yet to those of us who live, move and have
our being in the grind of daily journalism, and
in none other, it matters great deal; so that,
after bit of rest-a night of sleep-under the
spur of the news of the morning-maybe under
the inspiration of some principle, or dogma,
or measure-we take up the pen again, and
rush along the page, and blot out and interline
and read the proof and revise it, amid the glow
of effuson and the glare, if not the glory, of
print, inwardly exclaiming, "Now that is some
thing like!" to see the poor, ephemeral thing,
as a skyrocket, come down like stick, it's
coruscations lost forever in the darkness of
illimitab1e space.-Henry Watterson in Cour-

REULBACH EQUALS
PITCHING RECORD

CHICAGO, August 1l.-By winning yes
terday's game from Brooklyn, which was
his fourteenth straight victory, Pitcher
Edward Reulbach of the Oh cago Ma
tional League team, II said to have
equaled the record for consecutive VIC
tories with the pitching slab at its pres
ent distance Of xty and one-half feet
from the home plate.
Jack CHESHIRE established the record OF
fourteen straight games while pitching
fer Pittsburg In 1902.
The record of twenty-four straight,
made by James Mccormick OF the Chi
cago Nationals. in 1856, was established
when the pitch ng slab was closer to the
batter.
And to think, early in the season Chi
caao wanted to swap, Reulbach to Brook
'yn for Pitcher Mcintyre. Brooklyn
turned down the deal, fearing that some
thing was the matter with big Ed
