A soaking rain came to bless this
county last Sunday night. Over
a portion of the county to the north

told. Where last week dry slough
bottoms stood ready for seeding
flax, now stands water. Florida

was dry, will now carry boats.
People driving to town Monday
say that water was running down
in the creek from Eagle lake to

The rain at Willmar was not as
heavy as five or six miles north,
but still Foot Lake rose quite pre-

Koronis at Paynesville, and a report
says that the old Mannanah dam was

on the roads in this neighborhood
to contend with on the morning af-

is THE BOARD OF CONTROL
TO BE DEPOSED?

What is there back of this contin-
ual agitation of the Red Wing
Training School embroglie. The
legislature investigated the matter.
without leading to any definite re-
suit. both houses after hot fight
having amended the committees
report regarding Supt. Whittier, so
that the section demanding his re-
moval was stricken out. This was
supposed to have settled the matter,
but still the matter is being indus
triously played up by the city papers
and certain old-line organization
papers of the State.
There are reports being circulated
that the object is none other than
to force the Board Of Control as
now constituted into position
where there will be an excuse for
the governor to remove them and
thus make room for some of his
political friends. This it is hoped
to accomplish by forcing the Board
of Control to make another investi-
cation Of the matter. If they then
cleared the Superintendent, they
might be removed for having re-
fused Ito do their Duty and if
they dismissed him they might be
removed for being jointly respon-
sible with him. In either event
they were to be removed, and the
excuse for so doing is to be manu-
factu1ed. Soon after the legisla-
ture was out of the way. the COVER
nor requested the Board of Con-
troll to remove Supt. Whittier. thus
virtually forcing them to make
another investigation. Now the
Attorney Generals Office has rem
dered an opinion that the action of
the late legislature did not consti-
tute charges against Supt. Whittier,
so that there is now nothing before
the Board of Control on which it
can legally act to question the
superintendent right to retain the
position.
The law creating the Board of
Control was drawn for the purpose
of keeping the state institutions
out of politics, and therefore the
Board was to have exclusive author
ity over the superintendents and
employees. This condition was in
augurated under Gov. Lind s admin
istration, and both Cows. Van SAINT
and Johnson were very careful to
respect the spirit as well as the
letter of the law. To ignore this
provision would at once put all the
state institutions where political
pull rather than efficiency would
determine qualification of employees
and lead to the disgraceful condi-
tions existing in other states.
Now the question is can the city
papers work the people of the state
into such a pitch of hysteria over
this Red Wing affair, that it will be
considered safe to remove the pre-
sent members of the Board of Con.
troll? We doubt it very much.
But what about this Red Wing
affair. Very few persons know the
true facts about the case, or at
least enough of them to be able to
form an intelligent opinion, and ii
cannot be gainsaid that much has
been twisted and distorted in the
public press.
There are several factors entering
into this affair. First might be
named the desire to gain contro
of the State institutions of partisan
purposes; second, the desire TO,
rehabilitation of certain member:

had been discredited by the voters,
like Andy Stephens of Crookston;
and third thru the misguided am
billions of few sentimental women
whose lack Of experince led them to
believe that young toughs can always
be controlled by molly -coddle
methods.
Four years ago there was legis-
lative contest over the separation Of
the girls from the boys school.
Some of the women supporters of the
separation, with more enthusiasm
than knowledge and discretion. set
ahoat number of impossible stories
for instance that the boys were in
the habit of running a plank across
from the windows Of their dor
mitory to the windows in the girls
building and crossing over in the
night (the buildings being about a
thousand feet apart), the electric
whipping machine. which started
as a josh in Colorado years ago,
etc. The superintendent naturally
resented these flights Of imagination
and took occasion to show up these
people before the committee. There
is an old saying that you can
never forgive one whom you have
injured" based on the human trait
of wishing to Justify oneself before
oneself. These good women were
wounded in their vanity and have
been nursing a grudge ever since.
The new superintendent Of the
girls department, who took charge
last August with the understanding
that she was not to use corporal
punishment if possible. was made
the victim of some gossip publish
ed in the Red Wing Republican,
which attacked the new methods. {"
The responsibility for this attack
was laid at Mr.. Whittier's door.
although not the slightest evidence
has been produced to connect him
with the matter in any way.
In practice the State institutions
have been under civil service rules
since the Board was created in 1901.
Gov. johnson refused to interfere
AS much as with suggestion for a
clerkship even. Soon after the
death of Gov. johnson rumors began
to float around that the organiza-
ton wanted to be consulted about
appointments, but the Board con-
tinued to place merit above all other
considerations and paid no atten-
tions to the creakings of the ma
chine.
One of the acts which the grape
vine telegraph says was distasteful
to the organization was the election
of DR.. Tom]inson as superintendent
of the. lnebriate Asylum at Will
mar.
Now after the lofty ambitions of
A. H. Stephens had been showed
under by the clouds Of stickers from
the hands of voters who were in
favor of county option in Pope
county, he HE'D himself off to St.
Paul to try to regain his prestige.
But the senate had been Gordonized
and the elections committee simply
threw some flowers on the resting
place of said ambitions. But un-
daunted, Mr.. STEPHENS managed to
keep in the lime light. aided to
the fullest extent by the city press,
by springing the SURPRISE re.
garding that whipping machine"
which matter was then more than
four years old. and this alleged
instrument of torture having burn.
ed up in 1905. Aided by the afore.
mentioned women. who were ready
with their hatpins. without being
aware of the axes which they were
helping to sharpen, Mr.. Stephen:
succeeded in having a committee
