We Do Not Agree.

This paper does not agree with
President Vincent of the University
OF Minnesota when he says that the
University should be made the center
of Scandinavian study in the United
States. Without doubt Minnesota
would be more suited to the location
than any other state but even with
that in it's favor the University
should not center itself on this one
country's learning.
The main trouble is that the Scan
dinavians of Minnesota are irving tn
get away from the fact that, thew are
Scandinavians and become thorough
American citizens. They are spend
ing their time studying American
life, literature and habits. They are
already familiar with their own
countries as their percentage of liter
acy is high.
The third and fourth generation
Scandinavian students do not show
the interest in the literature of their
fathers that they do in the literature
OF such countries as Germany and
France. Furthermore, students who
nave no Scandinavian blood in them
are not at all interested in studying
the language and literature of those
countries-especially when such lit
erature is not as rich as that of some
Of the older countries of Europe.
The great need of the students of
our modern schools is more work in
rhetoric. English literature they
hate in plenty, but the collegiate
work in rhetoric is confined to the
compulsory freshman year. 1t is we'll
known fact that both high school and
college graduates are not habitually
correct in their grammar nor have
they an accurate knowledge of the
fine distinctions between different
words of similar meanings.
1t is a worthy ambition to have the
University the center of some sort of
learning-to have it stand first in
that line in the country, but Presi-
dent Vincent has unfortunately chos-
en- the wrong subject. If language,
let it be the center of English learn
ing. Personally, we believe that to
make 1t the center of one of the
sciences would be best.

Country Store a Success.

A letter from D. A. Whiting, man
ager of the Farmers Mercantile COM
pany in the town of Northern, throws
some interesting light on the subject
of cooperative stores in small farm
communities. Following is the let
ter:
Dear Sir: ..- .-.
"The annual meeting of the Farm
ers' Mercantile company, located on
Section z, town of Northern, was held
at the store Friday. January 3, 1913.
''The store was organized in 1910
to run for period Of three years. The
term having expired this year, it was
voted to re-organize for ten years and
also to raise the value of the shares
from $40 to $25. There are now
fourteen shareholders in the COM
pany. The company also made ar
rangements for a loan of $500 from
one of the members, so that the work.
ing capital is now $3.50.
"The sales for the past year
amounted to almost $4,000 and have
resulted in an average saving Of
twenty per cent to the members on
their purchases The accrued profits
for the three years, when divided,
averaged a ninety per cent dividend
to each member on the money In
vested.
The farmers are we'll pleased with

PLEA FOR IMPRISONED BOY.
Effort Being Made to Have sentsne
Of Clifford Wilson Reduced.

Effort Being Made to Have Sentence
Of Clifford Wilson Reduced.
Specia! to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Dec. 10.-A plea for re-
duction Of sentence from life term
to twenty-five years or less was made
to the supreme court yesterday.
It was made by Attorney Fred Fa-
vile in the case in which a boy. Clifford
Wilson, of Sac county, was convicted
Of murder and given life term. The
argument was on rehearing, and Fa-
Vile claimed that the court overlooked
the essential feature in the alleged mis-
conduct, Of attorneys for the state re-
sulting in prejudice; and he also con.
tended to the court that 1t was an alb.
solute impossibility that the boy should
have fired the fatal shot. The case was
one in which the boy became mixed up
with tramp who killed two men.
The real reason for asking the court
to direct reduction Of the sentence is
the fact that this would then enable the
parole board to docket the case and act
on 1t directly without all the red tape
which 1t il found surrounds all the life
term cases. Usually it Is not possible
to EeA any sort OF hearing on q life
case until after tho lapse of many
years.

comb Burgess. Indicted for murder in
the first degree in poisonig her child
three months old, entered the plea OF
not guilty today. She admitted In the
preliminary hearing that she gave the
child morphine from which she died
but she will attempt to show that she
wds driven to do It thru threats of
Louis Chirikos who was going to kill
her unless she killed the child. She told
the story that Chirlkos was the father
Of the child and the only reason that
can be conjectured why Chirikos would
want to get rid OF 1t was that It
looked like him and he was afraid peo-
pie would surmise that It was his.
Chirikos entered the plea Of not guilty
to the charge Of murder and will have
