President Sees Plot to Delay.

Washington-President Wilson came
out Monday with a flat declaration
that despite what he characterized as
deliberate campaign by certain in
terests to secure adjournment of con
gress and postponement of the ad
ministration's trust legislation pro
gram, he would use every influence
at his command to- get the pending
bills through the senate at this SEES
sion. Choosing his words carefully
the president disclosed his belief that
organized distribution of circular let
tiers and kilograms among business
men, members of congress and other
public officials, calling for an ad-
journment of congress, a halt in the
trust bill, an increase in freight rates
for the railroads and a rest for bust
ness" was responsible for what he
recently described as a psychological
depression"

hunters, and am sending The Ga
zette Mrs. Mook's letter with this
for their benefit.
School friends of our family will
be interested in the progress made
by Mildred Aiken, since graduating
in the class Of 1910, Of Redwood Falls
high school. Last Wednesday she re-
ceived her B. A. degree with the first
class graduated from the new Occi-
dental College Campus in Eagle Rock
valley, where the first three of
group of fourteen buildings planned
were thrown open for public inspec-
ton, preliminary to their occupancy
next September. The new college
group will certainly be beautiful for
situation in its mountain environ
ment, and under the leadership of
the well-known John Willis Baer, a
former Minnesota. C. E. Worker is
due to start an increasing host of
young men and women on the road
to efficient and progressive citizen
ship.
Last night our folks witnessed the
graduating exercises of a class of
SO from Whittier high school, our
June being in line for making a COM
mencement from the same institu-
ton next year. Her part this year
was in the high school chorus, and
previously as member of the high
school girls quartet, which has been
in frequent demand of late.
To Enlarge High School
Whittier is today voting for the
purchase of an additional five acre
block adjoining the two blocks of the
same area already occupied by build
ings and experimental agricultural
plots-15 acres in all. This is in an
ticipation of the inevitable enlarge
ment of the present equipment of
four large buildings, planned for an
ultimate demand by 600 students. AL
ready there are more than 400, and
the maximum number will probably
be reached in a few years. | fancy
that Redwood Falls will have to in
vest in more land for buildings not
many years hence. There as here,
nothing is too good for our schools.

Mrs. Van Deusen INDICATED by
State CiUil Service Commission
Womens Minimum Wage Lost Sight of in Attempt of Women
Poicions Control the Job of Secretary of the Board
at Salary of $IOO Per Month

these rltmors either could not or would
not state the various sources of their
information, with the exception of Mrs
Slothower She, with commendable
candor, stated that she had been re-
ferred to Routt county, the former home
of Mrs. Van Deusen's husband, by Mrs.
Helen Grenfell, from whom she received
the first intimations as to the entire
matter. 1t seems proper to state in
this connection that Mrs. Grenfell, al
though subpoenaed. did not appear, but
wrote a letter stating that she knew
nothing whatever concerning Mrs. Cath
crime B. Van Deusen. This indicates the
character OF the charge against the lat
ter.
Judge Morning Scored
Judge Mornings letter. beginning with
the statement that nothing is known of
county and closing with the statement
that all his information is hearsay, is a
masterpiece of scandalous, scurrilous,
unfortified invective-
HE refers for particulars to detec-
tive named Kerr. There is a letter
from Kerr on file, stating that he was
employed to find something against
Mrs. Catherine B. Van Deusen, but that
he was able to find absolutely nothing
discreditable to her character.
Miss Mary c. Porter, as a member OF
the state wage board. stated that Mrs.
Slothower had specifically declined TO
prefer charges before that board, and
that the said board had, for that rea-
son, declined to go into the matter.
The whole controversy seems to have
been caused by envy as regards the po-
sition of secretary OF the state wage
board. Mrs. Buell. and Mrs. Westover,
both of whom were loud in their de
nunciation of Mrs. Van Deusen, were
defeated candidates for the position in
question, and We're Mrs. Van Deusen re-
moved from office for any reason the
position. under the law prior to this
affair, would have gone to Mrs. Buell..
and, in case of renewed vacancies, to
Mrs. Westover.
Rap Disappointed Job Hunters
The last two women insinuated that
this commission had not conducted the
examination fairly. Inasmuch as some
such charge as this is made occasionally
by defeated candidates We take this
opportunity of saying that this COM
mission has been and is unmoved in
the performance of its duty by insinu-
ations continually passed upon its mo-
tives and actions by splenetic politi-
clans and disappointed job-hunters,
male and female.
"In conclusion, we do not set this
commission up as board of moral GEN.
sorship. Our object is efficiency in the
public service, and this investigation
was undertaken with the idea that
rumors persistently circulated to the
detriment of public servant must, ii

welborn and Associates Don't Want to
Deal Squarely with People.

The United Mine Workers have ac-
eepted the proposal of President Wilson
of a truc, in the coal strike for a period
of three years. The union has thereby
waived the recognition of the union
which the operators declared to be the
sole obstacle to the settlement OF the
strike. As matter of fact it has
never been the unalterable condition of
settlement, and the operators know it
The miners, having yielded this and
yielded that. having at all times been
ready TO meet and confer with the oper-
ators. let us Learn ii we may what con-
ecssions the operators have ever made
or offered. The fact seems to be that
in their objection to listen to the sug-
gestion of the President they are tax
ing exactly the same attitude that they
held toward the governor, toward the
congressional committee and toward
every effort of commercial associations
and other public organizations which
have attempted to effect an agreement.
Condemn, If YOU will, the violence Of
the strikers. but cease to excuse the III
sufferable bigotry of the coal operators
who have ignored the laws of the state
and derided authority of its officials.
and who now propose to meet the Pres
ident of the United States with .rgu-
ment rather than obedience. The strike
may now be settled by agreement of the
operators to temporary condition, sub
ject to review and correction ii It is
unjust by board of arbitration ap-
pointed by the President having the
power to make such apendment.
We will now learn, perhaps, in truth
where the obstacles to peace negotia-
tions in the strike really have had their
origin. We have believed, and present
evidence seems to support the belief,
that c. f. 4 l. and associated coal
companies have themselves prevented
the consummation of any compromise
or settlement of the strike. From first
to last the representatives of these big
concerns have demanded absolute sub
mission to their sovereignty above that
of the state or nation. They would
yield not jot of the political, COM
mercial and industrial control which
they had exercised for generation
over their employees. In presenting them
selves to President Wilson they are go-
ing to court as firm as it is fair. and
we anticipate that the final Judgment
will be one that will be executed, even
against themselves with all their power.
