! JOHNSON SCORES
DISTRICT SCHOOLS IN
SARCASTIC SPEECH
Chairman Of House Commit
tee Ridicules Innovations
in Teaching.

Another attack on the alleged extrav-
agance Of the school system of the
District was made in the House this
afternoon during the consideration OF
the District appropriation bill. Chair
man Ben johnson, of the District Com
mittee, delivered a sarcastic speech in
which he ridiculed some of the so-called
newrfangled notions In the District
schools. such as greenhouses, pianolas,
cooking schools, millinery courses, and
other innovations.
Mr. johnson declared that the District
for many years had got from the Fed
eral Treasury 'all It Yves entitled to
under the law, and then scme"
Not only is music taught in these
District schools but these piano
players are put in an paid for by my
and your accordion constituents. 1t
takes no more skill to play pianola
than to turn a grinding organ.
Under the tight-wad public school
system which we ar accused of i'm
posing District pupils have cooking

housewife would, and 1t Is presumed
that the storekeepers who teach them
charge for the lessons. They serve
fve and six-course dinners here. I
saw menu that had ice cream on It.
asked colored teacher IL the cream
was made or bought. He said the
pupils bought it frozen, but he could
not tell how much teaching was re-
CURED to eat it,"
Then in a more sarcastic vein Mr..
johnson said: But that Is Of little
moment to our constituents. All they
have to do Is to work sixteen hours a
day to help pay for these things"
Mr. Johnson continued in similar vein
IN criticism OF the sewing school main
tanned IN Washington and the millinery
courses. After making a. hat or dress
at public expense, charged Johnson, .he
pupils were allowed to take them home.
The people of Tennessee, Kentucky. and
other states, he had II, were supposed
to pay for these things without a MUIR
Inur.
Johnson also criticised the dental
work done in the schools. saying that
the patients range from six years to
sixty-siN years. and many of them are
unnaturalized foreigners

Chinese Students Are
Worrying About Funds

ITHACA, Jan. 22.-There are nearly
twenty Chinese students at Cornell
University today who are wondering
where their tuition for the second
term, which is now close at hand, is
coming from.
These men are government or prov
ince scholars and their tuition and
expenses are generally paid by the
states from which they come, but
the present unsettled condition Of
government and finances in China
has interrupted this scheme.
These men got through the first
term all right but they find the sec
ond term will present another prob
lem. 1t is probably that the univer-
stty loan fund may be resorted to.
Twenty four of the forty-six Chinese
at the university get their tuition
from the Boxer indemnity fund and
they are not worrying.

J. G. HIGHHOUS

A consistent progressive democrat,
candidate for nomination for the Of
fee Of County Treasurer, was the first
candidate to file on the democratic
ticket for this nomination and stands
for the following principles:
I do not hold any public office and
believe man should not hold any
public office for which he receives
pay and run for another such office
at the same time. I stand for tax re-.
form, both direct and indirect. By
indirect tax I mean the tariff which is
the most burdensome tax on the farm
ers and wage earners and which every
voter should study very carefully. 1
favor a graduated income tax to re-
lieve a portion Of the tariff tax from
the consumers. I favor election Of U.
s. senators and all judges by popular
vote on non-partisan ballot. A primary
law that will allow all*voters to~select
their candidates at the primaries the
same as at general elections. I have
lived in Morrison county about Is years
and by very hard work and close ap-
plication have succeeded in placing
Morrison county on the map as growing
some of the very best products in the
United States, which I believe is to
some extent benefit to every resident
in the county.
Upon the principles for which stand
and the record have made, solicit
the favor Of your vote at the primaries,
Tuesday, September II.

STATE vs.. LOCAL Men
PLAINTIFF SEEKS TO RECOVER
MONEY PAID OUT FOR
FAIR

Papers in a suit brought by the
state against Geo. Emder, Barney
Burton and Warren Gibson, to recover
money paid to these gentlemen in l9oo
as officers of the Little Falls street
fair association, which it is claimed
was received illegally, were served
Thursday. This is to be greatly re-
GREETED bv the citizens Of Little Falls,
a the gentlemen will very likely be
MT to a great deal of expense. Much
Of their time was freely given as OF:
6cers a. ire street fair association and
mich labor expended in getting the
fa;r started at Little Falls in 1905.
The Little Falls Street Fair associa-
ton held a fair at Little Falls in 1905
and complied with all the restrictions
of the act through which they received
state aid. Because the Morrison coun;
ty fair association had not been giving
fairs for several years the Little Falls
Street Fair association was entitled
to aid from the state.
According to the bank records, the
money was received by the local as
ISOLATION in the form Of a warrant on
the state auditor for $499.51. The
warrant was mailed to Geo. Emder,
treasurer Of the Little Fails Street Fair
association, and was postmarked Sept.
6, 1906. The warrant was deposited IN
the First National bank, to the credit
of the fair association on Sept. IA,
1906.
The action is based on the fact that
the money was illegally received and
calls for a refund with interest at
6 per cent:
Lyndon A. Smith, attorney general,
and D. M. Cameron, are the attorneys
for the state and N. N. Bergheim will
act for the defendant.
The case will appear on the Septem-
Der calender of district court.

MAY HAVE Nc SCHOOL
HEAR OBJECTIONS TO USING
THE KIEWEL BUILDING FOR
~ SCHOOL ROOMS

The meeting of the parents who had
children going to the temporary school
rooms in the Kiewel building, was at
tended by about fifty. Both those who
objected to the use Of the rooms and
some who upheld the action Of the
board of education as the only possible
thing under the circumstances, were
present.
T. G. Gordon, president of the board
OF education, called the meeting to-
order and said that the board would
Ike TO-: hear from every one present,
especially those who 81 ned the petit
ton. He also explained that after look
ing over all available buildings in the
city that the board had come to the:
conc fusion that the one secured was
the only one worth considering. He
admitted that the building had its
drawbacks from being an ideal place
to hold school but stated it also had
some advantages over the basement
rooms in the central building, which
are now occupied by the manual train.
ing and agricultural departments. He
explained that the board had talked
some of building new school last
year when it became necessary to hold
school in the Rhodes block, but that
they did not consider that the con-
dltlons at that time would warrant, the
expenditure of large sum Of money
for a new building.
The several objections to the use
OF the rooms were, that it would be
dangerous for the children who could
not take care Of themselves to 90 to
and from school, that in case Of fire
the building did not have sufficient
means OF escape; that considerable ex-
plosives were kept in the hardware
store under the rooms. This objection
was shown to be without foundation as
a state law allowing only a certain
amount Of explosives to be kept in
building and causes the proper handling
of them.
The general opinion was that the
