President-eIect Vincent Y

President-eIect Vincent was at the
university the latter part, Of last
week, and from his speeches at that
time, it is possible to gain a general
idea of the kind of man he is. He
points out that. IN the history of the
university, there have been two
periods. the pioneer and constructive,
and that the institutional period is
now beginning. This view of his
work indicates the President Vincent
will measure up to the work demand
ed of him. Heretofore the university
has been Northrup's school, and he
has done grand good work in impress
ing his personality upon the school,
but the tire has come for it to be-
come more institutional in character.
This is going to take time. but the
new president has the proper ideal in
view.

st. Paul Manufacturer Dead.

Richards Gordon, eighty-tWo years
old, president of Gordon e Ferguson,
wholesale furriers and hat manufac-
turers of ST. Paul, died in New
Rochelle, N. Y, of old age. His only
daughter, Mrs. Catherine Gordon
French, the novelist. was at his bed
side. Since last May Mr.. Gordon has
been travelling in California and other
states for his health and his daughter
has been his constant companion.

"Vox feminarum. vox populi" says
Senator Denegre in announcing his in
tention to withdraw his bill providing
that the husband and wife may con-
vey their separate property without
the consent Of the other. The sena-
tor found that the bill aroused the
opposition of the women Of the state,
and that the proposition affords an op-
portunity for any aspiring statesman
to extend his acquaintance among the
fair sex. The senator is a bachelor
and we are in doubt whether he intro
duced the bill "on purpose" or be
cause he didn't know better.

FRIDAY, JANUARY p, 1911

The "most prolific inventor" dies
in Florida, says an exchange. He
must have been the man who invented
those tales about paying $40 down
and $40 a month and then being able
to retire at the end of five years as a
pineapple magnate.

A NOBLE CHARACTER.

The man Of nobility Of character
does not recoIlect injustice, for ac-
curate recollection, especially Of in
juries, is not characteristic of the
magnanimous man, but he rather
overlooks them. He is not fond of
talking Of people, for he will neither
speak Of himself nor anybody else,
for he does not care that he himself
should be praised nor that others
should be blamed.-Aristotle.

consideration, because it provides that
a law can be initiated only upon the
petition of thirty-fve per cent of the
voters, which is four times larger
than the usual percentage required to
initiate. This provision would
render the law practically worthless.
All of the other measures on this sub
iect were referred to the Committee
on Elections. but the Pfaender bill
was sent to the Committee on Cen
eral Legislation. I have no means
of knowing whether this exception
was intended to obstruct or give pre-
ference to the 35-per cent bill.
Among the House initiative and re-
ferendum bills that meet with the ap-
provaI of progressive organizations are
those introduced by W. A. Campbell
of Minneapolis and J. N. johnson of
Candy. These two members have
agreed to become the joint authors of
bill and that is the measure which
should be supported by the friends of
the idea.
In the Senate, Olaf A. Lende of
Marshall and John Moonan of Waseca,
each introduced an initiative and re-
ferendum measure. Both bills are
good, but Lende and Moonan will
jointly champion one of these, which
solves the Senate situation.

GOSSIP OF THE GAME.
The Minneapolis Tribune very
grossly misrepresented Lieutenant
Governor Gordon. That papers re-
port of his speech at the recent ST.
Paul banquet credited him with say
ing that county option was dead
issue in the Legislature. There was
absolutely nothing in his address that
could be construed into such an inter-
probation. If county option condi-
tions had prevailed at the reporters
table it is not at all likely that this
injustice would have been done Mr..
Gordon.
DR.. O. Hauge Of St. Paul Park,
has an important education bill be-
fore the House. 1t provides for the
election of county superintendnts Of
schools by a County Board Of Direc-
tors of Rural Schools. 1t excludes
all city and independent districts, CIV
ing only to the rural districts over
which he has supervision the right to
voice in the selection of the Super
intendent.
The Nolan publicity amendment
to the rules was adopted, as | pre-

Messrs. Brown and Bouck of the
Little Falls district and Andrew
Anderson of Washington County vot-
ed against it, but after taking note
of the landslide Mr.. Anderson re-
quested that his vote be changed from
"no' to "aye". TIE record, how
ever, does not show him voting at all.
Mr.. Spoooner bitterly arraigned the
rule as being the product of spite and
impracticabiIity, but voted for it.
New forces are working to create
new allignn ents in both branches. I
shall attempt to analyze and discuss
them in an early letter.

Henry Parker is one Of the cracker

He got 100 egg incubator this
spring and filledit with eggs, None
Of them Matched out He decided
that he wasn't running the thing
right. So he got 100 more eggs
aud carefully watched the machine.
Tuesday one lone chicken hatched
out, and Breeder Parker had the
pleasure Of burying 90 bad eggs.
The single chicken will probably
die of 1onescmeness. But Parker
isn't the only unluclzy man in town.
Bill Wells has a 24o egg incubator.
He filed it this spTiug and it didn't
hatch a chick He tried again and
got forty. Both men say the

TRUE SOCIALISM

A state official went into Topeka

"that Socialism means equality and
common ownership. Now. l have
a proposition to submit to you. l
will pay for the goods and you
make the suit; l will wear it the
first year and you the second. "
"You have the wrong idea OF
Socialism" f" replied the tailor.
Socialists only want a division OF
the property which the other fellow
owns

MANLY AMERICANISM

President Taft has given another
evidence of his manly Amerlcanism
In administering q sharp rebuke to
a colonel in the United States army
who exhibited wholly uh American
rrce prejudice against Jew that
applied for examination for a lieu
tenantcy in the army. In his ia
dorsement of the application Colo
mel Garrard, the officer in question,
declared that he would not be will
ing to receive the Jew, if successful,
as social and personal associate
and said in addition that many
years Of experience had taught him
that there are few communities Gin
which Jews are received as desira-
BILE social associates.
All fair minded Americans will
indorse the sentiment expressed by
President Taft when he declared
that "lt is difficult to read this H.
dorsement with patience and with:
