AMENDMENT NO. 9 FOR SCHOOLS
Continued from first page)

this land managed as forest with our
method of Ind and timber disposal as
provided for in State Constitution as
follows:
The present constitution provides
that all state school lands be sold
and the money received be put out
at interest at Acc. This interest con-
stitutes the fund available for school
use. Providing the area of non-agri-
cultural land can be sold as high as
minimum $500 per acre the school
fund would receive S5,0O0,0O0. This
amount at Acc would give for school
use 100000 per year; without the
possibility of any increase. Under a
system of forest management, the
fund can be increased 100000 an
nually for an indefinite period of time
As % of these untillable lands are
already forested the revenue will be
immediate and the forests will be
self sustaining from the beginning.
Supt. Schulz request is fully jus
titled in the interest of the state
school fund and the greater support
which will come to Public Education
if the policy proposed in Amendment
No. 9. State Forests Amendment is
adopted.

POTTER ERICKSON MEETING
State Senator Candidate And His
Former Rival Joined Forces
Thursday Evening

L. E. Potter and Aug. Erickson of
Springfield, spoke to an audience OF
thirty-two people at the courthouse
last Thursday evening on the sena-
torship contest.
Mr.. Potter, who is candidate for
the senatorship from Brown and Red
wood counties gave a short talk In
which he urged the union of town
and country interests. He expressed
himself as making no campaign prom
Uses of any kind. He gave no in
timation of his stand on the cam
paign issues.
Aug. Erickson, the main speaker
of the evening, eulogized Mr.. Potter
as a farmer and man of strong ano
independent principle. However, he
| neglected to state the views of his
candidate upon any public issue. Mr.
Erickson, who was perhaps the least
efficient county attorney that Brown
| County has ever had and who re-
ceived large support from the Brown
County liquor interest voters at the
primaries, seems to have an over
developed grudge against W. w.
Smith of Sleepy Eye, and his dis
paraging remarks bore strong evil
dence of his being poor loser. Mr..
Erickson said nothing of consequence
enough to effect in any way the COM
ing election.

VOTERS BACK IN THE PARTY
Massachusetts Primaries Give Further
Proof of Practical Extinction
of Progressivss.

Massachusetts had an uninteresting
primary election because there was no
contest for the first place on the state
ticket-governor-in any of the three
leading parties. The effect was seen
in an extremely light vote. The Re
p%ublicans had more rivalry for other
places on the ticket than the Demo
Gratis or the Progressives and hence
their vote was not so nearly missing
at the polls.
In certain districts, however, there
were contests which made a fair
test of the relative activity and
strength of the three parties. In the
Sixth Congressional district, for in
stance, the Democrats and the Pro-
gressives, like the Republicans, had
two candidates for the nomination. In
that district the vote Cor congressman
two ear g was 1913 Republican,
9,704 Democratic and 1926 Progress
sive. In the primary election the vote
stood 10000 Republican, 1,175 Demo
cratic and 512 Progressive.
Comment ON these figures is hardly
needed. They show, once more. that
the Progressive party has virtually
ceased to exist as a separate organi-
cation and that the Democratic party
has lost much acaund by comparison
with the Republican. 1t is a New Eng.
land straw which might have been
blown by the political breeze in almost
any part Of the country.

HAND Of WELCOME EXTENDED
Place in Republican Party for Any
Progressive Who Has Seen
Error af His Way.

A significant statement in Chairman
Windows address to the Republican
state convention OF Massachusetts was
to this effect: To-day the Republic
ar rarity is acquiring leadership along
loftiea' paths 1t has a mind open
to the sunlight and the morning, open
to new truth and new duty Its lost
supporters are returning, even proud
of their part in the awakening, and
loyal and earnest for those principles
which are ours today" There is un-
doubtedly a place in the Republican
party today for an1 original Progress
sive who was honest In his protest
and in hardly any other state is this
true to SO large an extent as in Massa-
chusetts. He will find no leftover
grudges to be .gratified but the right
hand of friendship cordially extended.
Without doubt the Republican party
has grown and ~broadened within the
past two years and If the P~rogressives
claim a share in the credit for such
change there will be few to quarrel
with them. What remains of organ
lied Progressivism at the present time
is only another name for bourbonism,
the very thing for which the older or.
ganization was criticized at the time
OF the separation.-Boston Transcript.

FEW CATAWBA INDIANS LEFT
Once Powerful Tribe Lives on a Mile
Square Reservation in South
Carolina.

In 1853 the Catawba Indians OF
South Carolina we're confined on a
reservation Is miles square. The In
dams soon rented their land to the
whites for a few thousand dollars,
and later sold all of it, except a single
square mile on which they now reside
This small reservation is situated
about eighty miles north of Co
lumbia. The nearest large town is
Rock Hill.
The tribe has grown SO small that
its number now averages about ninty-
nine. Each year the legislature of
South Caroline provides a sun of
money that is equally divided and
paid to every Catawba Indian residing
in that state.
The families are all large. Men
carr their living by raising cotton and
cutting and selling wood to the town
people. Most of the hand is cleared,
and used for cotton and pasture land.
In 1884 Mormon missionaries came
to the Catawba reservation and con.
verted a number Of Indians.
AS soon as 1t was known among
the surrounding whites that Mormon
elders were at work among the In
dams they began to threaten them
The threats made by the whites were
carried out, and the two elders were
put to death by a large mob.
The death of the beloved elders only
,aused the Indians to become frmel
believers in the Mormon faith. Two
or three weeks after the mobbing
two more elders appeared on the
reservation, and to this day two ED
ers are always there.-Southerr

suII Moose Scarce in washington.

s0tt USooS SSGtSG Hu VWSiliuHSoH.
In Washington state, which at the
height of the Progressive movement
was one Of the most pronounced for it,
the Bull Moosers are SO few that they
a hardly be counted" said DR.. A. J.
Mcintyre Of Hoquiam al the New
Willard, according to the Washington
Post. When Senator Poindexter was
elected as an anti-Cannon Republican,
the P~rogressfves of the East pointed
to Washington state as an example of
the strength of their cause, but the
Bull Moosers are quitting the party
far rapidly than they joined 1t.
For example, in the recent primaries
in the Second district the Bull Moose
candidate, former Representative War
burton, who was succeeded by Albert
Johnson IN the present congress-, re-
ceived SO small a vote that there, can
be said to be practically no Progress
sive party. The Second district IN
the election of 1912 was one of the
districts that refused to be swayed by
the arguments Of the P~rogressives
and elected Johnson over Warburton,
who announced his conversion to the
Progressive cause.
I'm the recent primaries Warburton
received in M county which normal
ly casts 1,200 votes just three votes,
while in another county which ordin-
arily casts 5000 votes Warburton got
so votes. This is ample evidence OF
the utter collapse of the Roosevelt
party in Washington"

Columbus.-Nine persons confessed
to State Fire Marshal E. R. Deffen-
baugh in September that they caused
incendiary fires. This is the largest
number of confessions obtained by the
department in any single month yet.
Two of the persons who confessed are
Columbus residents, Frederick A. THE
mann and John Atkinson. Thiemann
set fire to his residence twice in one
day. He was adjudged an epileptic
and committed to the state hospital
at Gallipolis. Atkinson is a butcher
and he fired his store. He had been
in poor health and his business was
run down. He was given a fine and
workhouse sentence.
There were 334 fires in August, with
a total loss of s475,760 Lightning was
the chief cause of fire, being respon
sible for Sc. Carelessness with

Would Just Suit Democrats.

Mr.. Roosevelt, and not the Repub-
ican party, has fallen from a high es-
tate. He is striving for power over
his broken promise, and in an assault
on the party which made him. AS the
nominee of the Bull Moose party in
1915 Mr.. Roosevelt would be well
coined by the, Democrats as enthusi-
astically as in 1912. He was the larg-
est factor in Mr.. Wilson's success
then; and there would be something
logical in his striving to keep Mr., Will
son in the place where he was instru-
mental in putting him. In a way it
would be an Endorsement by him of
the Wilson administration.

Decisions Help for Justice.

In no single department of state gov
eminent have greater changes been
effected in a decade than have been
made in the Ohio supreme court. This
is the verdict of lawyers who have
studied the trend of the cases that
have been decided, particularly those
involving the application of criminal
statutes. Wholesome reforms these
newer decisions are, the students add,
sweeping as they do to mi side a mass
of technicalities that made of review
ing courts first aid to the accused
Through the list of decisions there are
many exhibits that demonstrate the
changed attitude of the supreme court
toward criminal charges. When the
Cameron case vas decided it may be
said that the Jaw of embezZlement that
had been known to the legal profess
sion was completely revolutionized.
None the less, radical changes have
been made in other branches of the
criminal law.

ARE USEFUL AS REPORTERS
United States consuIs Send News OF
Foreign Education to the
National Capital.

That many of the United States dip
lomatic and consular representatives
abroad have rendered a very real serv-
ice in obtaining information on for
eign educational movements is a fact
to which tribute is paid in a bulletin
issued by the bureau of education OF
the United States department OF the
interior at Washington, the New York
Times observes. The bureau acknowl-
edges that 1t counts on these repre-
~sentatives for a considerable part Of
the matter on foreign schools which
it publishes each year for the sake OF
American educators who cannot go
abroad but who must know what other
countries are doing educationally.
Recently Ambassador Joseph Il. Viii
lard furnished the bureau of education
with a statement of educational condi-
lions in Spain, which contained val
liable information concerning the char
acter of university instruction in that
country, especially IN medicine. State
ments or industrial education have
been sent in BIZ consuls at Erfurt,
Nuremberg, Frankfort and Cologne.
These include reports on schools for
builders, courses for master crafts
imen," the Trade institute at Cologne
and special schools for fruit growing.
Special information OF the social
welfare work that is now a prominent
feature of school activities in Eng
land and Scotland has been sent In by
consuls In those countries. Much of
this information is. SO new that it has
scarcely begun to find its way into
printed reports.

ted States consuls keep the bureau in

policy as indicated Yin presidential

Names VIII Be Rotated.

The non-partisan judicial ticket
which will be voted upon at
the November election will contain
the m of nine candidates for
places on the supreme court. The
Democrats, Republicans and Socialists
will each present three candidates.
For chief justice, the candidates are
Hugh L. Nichols, present chief justice,
who is a Democrat; Frank Taggart,
Republican, and John C.. Madden, Sc
cialist. For the two associate Judge
ships to be filed by election the can
didates are J.. Foster Wilkin, up for a
second term, and Phil NJ. Grow, mem
Der OF the court of appeals, both Dem
%ocrats; Thomas A. Jones and Edward
S. Matthias, both judges and Repub-
licans, and P. E. Riegel and H. H.
Smith, Socialists.
The names of all judicial candi.
dates will be rotated, and will not ap-
pear on the ballot in alphabetical or
der, as in the case of nominations
made at the August primary election.
This will give one candidate as good
a chance as n other.
A million and a half ballots will be
contracted for by county boards fol
the November election. Each board
must contract for rs per cen more
ballots than there are voters. This
is to make it certain that there viii
be no shortage of ballots. By moi
later than the second day after the
election it will be shown absolutely
who were elected and what the re
suits were on the four constitutions
amendments. No doubt on election
night it will be known who won fol
senator and governor, but unles:
pluralities and majorities are decisive
there will be some of the days re
suits in doubt. Under a new law al
unofficial report of the vote must b.
sent to the secretary of state by mai
by each election board the day afte
election.

TalIeyrand's Victory.

One hundred years ago the congress
of Vienna met for formal organization
Nearly all the monarchs of Europe
were assembled to take part in the
deliberations, or were represented by
their most eminent statesmen. The
Porte alone was not represented in
this great congress of the nations. II
is said that the four, great allied pow
ers-England, Austria, Prussia and
Russia-had made a secret agreement
to exclude France from participation
in any of their territorial arrange
ments. But in this they reckoned
without Talleyrand. the great French
statesman and ~diplomatist, who not
only insisted that his country be ad
mitted to take part in all the delibera
lions, but himself became the leading
spirit of the whole congress.

Cause for Doubt.

James A. Patten, the noted wheat

CLANS had ruined a road into Liege-a
road that blew up afterwards and
