CRUCE REPLIES
TO WILSON
ty1CsE lCEAS FAIL, TO IMPRESS
MISUNDERSTANDING TERMS
POLITELY PUT TO WILSON,.

The marked difference OF opinion
between Governor Cruce and state
Superintendent r. II. Wilson over
the state board of education result
ed Thursday in the exchange OF some
very pointed correspondence.
Superintendent Wilson wrote the
governor that he wanted to make
some changes in nis recommends
tions as to school legislation which
had been sent over to the guberna-
torial office some time before, and
suggested bipartisan board OF SIX
members to be elected by the peo'
ple two of whom shall be elected
every two years after the board Is
once organized. The superlntend-
ent's letter is "A pointed thrust at
Governor Cruces action in remoV-
ing three of the members OF the
board of education ana infers in
directly that these members we're
arbitrarily removed because they
would not yield to pressure from the
governor to vote his will.
Governor Cruce replied with equal
plainness and in a very polite way
saws that Mr.. Wilson's letter Is
hoth idle and silly" He also tells
the state superintendent that he is
largely responsible for the present
tangle in the board of education ana

POLITICAL ADVERTISING.

The Owatonna Journal Chronicle
makes a frank and plain statement
as to it's attitude toward candidates
for office. In other words this is
the Journal Chronicles platform in
that respect: "Publicity-adyer
space-is newspapers stock in
trade, and as such is open to all
local buyers without distinction and
upon the same terms. Any candidate
for office who desires to buy this
mmodity-publicity or advertising
space-in The Chronicle, may
do so upon the same terms and con
ditions as every other candidate for
office, without regard to political af-
filiation. Such advertisements will
be marked political. advertisements
and the transaction will be purely a
commercial one-the buying of a
staple commodity at a given price.
"The transaction will have no eff
feet or significance as to the editori-
al attitude of this newspaper toward
any candidate. The editorial sup
port of this newspaper is not for
sale, and is given voluntarily when
at all-never as an obligatory,
ice We admit no candidates claim
to such support on personal Or par
tisan grounds. We assert our un
questionable right to determine
whether or not this newspaper shall
take sides in any contest for any
nomination or for any office voted
upon at the general election"
The above platform is one upon,
which all well-regulated and self
respecting newspapers can stand.
There can be no differences of opin1
ion between them on a proposition
such as is outlined by the Owatonna
paper. And, too, candidates for POI
litical positions can take no excep-
tons to the plan, and genearlly
speaking they do not. The Free
Press is thoroughly of the belief
that The Journal Chronicle has taken
''hold of the right end of the shovel
and that it's views regarding political
advertising are sound and cannot
be punctured by any line of argu-
ment or reasoning. Every news
paper should guard it's editorial
columns against the wiles of schem-
ing politicians who are seeking pub
licity of a favorable character.

"The daily newspaper is controll-
ing, likewise compelling factor in
the daily life of every man and
woman, and we ought really to say
every boy and girl for children
are omniverous readers nowadays"
Mr.. Quincy said: "The shortest and
most direct route to the attention of
all the people is through the col
umns of the newspaper, for it is
daily read by business men, profess
sional men, mechanics, artisans-all
alike. Men and women, too, want
their favOrite newspaper the very
minute it comes off the press, for
they crave the news served up red
hot. They also buy it to read the
advertising columns.

THE WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.

during the last few weeks we
have heard a great deal about wire
less biography, and hundreds of peo-
pie have confessed their ignorance
of this mysterious system of trans
hitting the messages of mankind.
On most any street corner you could
find the village oracle expounding
and explaining the dark mysteries
of wireless and nine times out of
ten he knew nothing at all about
it. It is quite impossible to describe
the details of wireless station so
that a novice will understand, but
the principle of the thing is easily
comprehended. AS is known, light
and heat move in waves whose
lengths can be measured.
Thus, the sun gives out in every
direction light in a series of I'M
dulating waves, which may not only
be measured, but can be detected,
polariZed, and so on. Some idea
of this may be gained from the
wellknown fact that when stone
is thrown into a smooth pool of
water a series of circular waves
extends in all directions. If any float
ing objects come within these waves
mented Professor Hertz who discov-
cred that electricity, like light and
heat, also moves in waves which may
be measured.
Just precisely how these waves
pass through the atmosphere is not
wholly understood, but it is believed
that they have some relation to ether,
which is omnipresent and which is
believed to constitute all matter I'M
der different negative electrical con-
ditions. In wireless telegraphy a
series of Hertzian waves is set up
by powerful electrical dynamos or
batteries, and these are discharged
from the top of a high mast or pole.
These waves extend in all directions.
and, unless their force is expended
by distance they excite certain effects
in the receivers of wireless tele-
graph instruments within the zone,
just as the waves disturb chips on
a pool.
Messages are sent and received
somewhat on the plan of ordinary
Morse code by wires, in that electri-
cal impulse are regulated SO as to
spell words according to a code.
In recent years many kinds of re-
ceivers have been used and the pro-
cess is now simpler than formerly,
but any successful transmission of
waves depends good deal on the
state of the atmosphere, electrical
storms being disadvantageous. Also
when many wireless outfits are
working in the same zone much con-
fusion results and often messages
are transmitted with great difficulty
and sometimes not at all. To Mar
conf belongs the credit of making a
practical success of the discoveries
of others, but to Hertz belongs the
credit of making the system pos

ADVERTISING THE TELEPHONE.

The interesting story is told that
when President Vail of the Ameri
can Telephone and Telegraph com
pany announced that he intended tC
spend $250,000 in an advertising cam
paign some of his directors objected
and said: "Why. everybody knows
about the telephone" To this Mr..
Vail replied: Everybody knows
about it, yes; but everybody doesn't
thing about it."
He spent the $25O.OOO and the
company's goss business increased
$75O,OO0 that year. There is world
of significance in that little anecdote,
and it is all the more valuable be
cause of the magnitude of the cor
poration concerning which it is told.
No business is so large that, If it
is an honorable and meritorious af-
fair it won't be benefited by having
the attention of the great public di-
rected to it, and new thoughts stir
red up about it. Nothing so focuses
public attention as that which is pre-
sented to them every day in constant
ly varying forms. And this can be
done only by the daily paper.

Total vote 240. Necessary 10 nom
mate, majority of all, or 121 votes.
At a glance it is apparent that none
of the candidates received MAORI
ty of the votes cast for first choice.
If one had, the second choice feature
of law would be imperative and the
candidate securing majority of the
votes cast in first choice votes
would be declared nominated.
Now begins the elimination fea-
ture over which so much controversy
wages. The candidates receiving the
lowest number of votes which in
this hypothetical instance proves to
be Spooner, is dropped and his sup
port is thrown to Lee as the tally
sheet indicates that the ten people
who voted for Spooner as first choice
selected Lee as second choice.
The same process is often follow
ed in an open caucus when the re-
suit of the first canvass is announced.
The low man sees the hand writing
on the wall and withdraws and his
support goes to the man who is the
second choice of those supporting
him.

POLITICAL ADVERTISING.

The Minneapolis Journal says that
a feature which may be injected in
to the corrupt practices bill is a Sec
ton prohibiting payment of any
money by candidates to newspapers.
Seveal members of the legislature
were discussing the question late
yesterday and again today but no
one was found willing to take the
initiative. The talk was that politi-
cal advertising generally is paid for
with an idea of influencing editorial
policy and it was proposed that news
papers be barred even from taking
money for candidates announce
ments, which are quite source of
revenue for the weekly press. One
suggestion was that every newspa-
per be required to file an annual
statement giving all payments made
by candidates or political commit
tees
Members of the legislature ought
