simply men who, as Jesus thought
had pluck and energy enough for the
position to which ne was to appoint

knew something about them, and
whom he therefore appointed, because
they were men of action for the emer-
gency.
And the Master is willing that his
church shall stand the test to which
he leaves fisherman, apostle, young
nobleman and repentant sinner. 1t is
the same test for kings and emperors
and fishermen, for preachers and
blacksmiths, for artists and dress
makers-that simple test Of thistles
and vines and fig-trees.

blacksmith, shall be judged by their

will be judged by what they do. The
doctrine Will be judged by the life.
The life will not be Judged by the
doctrine.-From a sermon by Edward

VICTORY FOR HARRY THAW.

Concord, N. H., April 4.-Judge
Aldrich of the federal court denied
the application of New York state to
have Harry K. Thaw sent back to
that state. The judge ruled that the
extradition laws for criminals were
not applicable in tbs case, which was
based on the question of sanity to the
prisoner.
The judge held the question of bail
in allegiance pending an appeal to the
supreme court by New York, and the
Judge said that this might be an in
justice to Thaw, but would be consid-
cred without prejudice after the ap-
peal was taken. This is victory for
Thaw, insofar as he will not be sent
back to New York state. 1t is prob
able that after the appeal is taken
that he will be liberated on reasonable
bail.

WOULD CHANGE SYSTEM
State Efficiency Commission Has Plan
to Radically Change Educational
System of Minnesota.

st. Paul, April 11.-While the con-
stitution seemed for moment to put
some hindrance in the way, it is be-
lieved that the educational commits
sion and the educational group of the
efficiency commission have worked
out between them plan by which the
state educational system from the al
phabet class to the postgraduate
course may work in rhythmic harmony
and carry out from one end to the
other President Vincent's favorite pol
icy of team play.
The constitutional question was
simply this-that when the state in
its fundamental law declared that the
university, as it is has been, should be
the state university in perpetuity, it
incidentally provided, as any good
lawyer will tell you, that the regents
should be the governing body Of the
university. Not but that the regents
can be modified in turn. For example
the very first state legislature chang
ed the membership from twelve MEM
bers elected by the legislature to 8 ex-
0fficio and nine appointed by the gov
ernor. And since then the various
legislatures have told the regents that
they must provide course in Scan
6nayian languages and literature;
that they must make the state treas
urer their treasurer; that they must
also buy their coal from the board of
control; and other similar instruc-
tions.
So it is plain that the regents gov
Z : { n r
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1914-04-16

ern the university and the legislature
governs the regents. Therefore, the
conference of these two bodies has
agreed to recommend that the gener-
al supervision of the states educa
tional system shall be under state
board of education, which shall ap-
point the state superintendent, and
put in his hands all the executive
functions that have to do with the
common schools and the normal
schools of the state. That leaves the
regents to govern the university UNI
disturbed, but when any question aris-
es effecting common interests, then it
is proposed that these two boards
shall be required by law to confer.
The law may prescribe that their
decisions shall be binding on both
bodies, but it is not necessary that it
shall. If two bodies of reasonable men
are required to meet and thresh out a
subject that lies between them, it is
not supposed that they will fail to
reach an agreement, or that when an
agreement is reached either body
would forsake it. The, recommends
ton seems to have the unanimous
support of the educational commission
and of the members of the efficiency
commission who took part in the con-
ference, except that John A. Hartigan
of st. Paul, who is member of both
bodies, was firm in his opinion that
unifcation would have preferred a
constitutional amendment, if necessa-
ry, to make the university part of
the same fabric as the rest.
The policy of both bodies, however,
has been to accomplish what can be
done without resorting to agitation
for change in the constitution and it
is the belief Of the majority that sub
stantially everything that is wanted
will be accomplished by free and open
discussion around the caDIe.
"In the last few years. says c. P.
Craig, chairman of the efficiency COM
mission, "the clash between the diff
ferent members of the states educa-
tional system has disappeared. They
are working together now. We be-
lieve they will continue to work to-
gether. We believe they are ready to
agree on all things for the best inter-
ests of the state. That all that need
be done is to provide a place where
they can come to an agreement"

A HOT CAMPAIGN.

With the eliminating" conference
past, the filing Of VIM. E. Lee as a
candidate for Governor, the entrance
of the present Governor in the CAM
paign and the primaries only little
over eight weeks ahead,the Minnesota
campaign may be said to be ION" with
a large "O," and from now on till the
votes are counted it will rage with un-
parallelled fierceness.
This is as it should be. We have no
sympathy with the idea that a polit-
nal campaign should be carried on
along the same ethical line as an old
ladies' tea party. 1t is a struggle be-
tween red blooded men in which stiff
blows are delivered and received and
as in every mans battle, when it is
over there will be corpses strewn on
the field of action.
There is nothing so disastrous
to good government as a quiet,
undressing campaign. Politics is
Like a large body of fresh wat
er. If it remains in perpetual
calm, 1t stagnates and becomes a
breeding place of death instead of a
health promoting, life giving insti-
tuition of nature. 1t takes an occas-
ional storm when the Spirit of the
Wind calling to the Spirit of the Wa
ter lashes it into fury and great
waves arise, every distinct and differ
ent molecule is stirred out of its place
and mixed and mingled one with an
otherto purify it, and make it whole
some.
1t is the same way with the sea OF
politics; long continued calm produ-
ces dis-interestedness and unconcern,
and these in turn produce scores OF
governmental undesirabilities and it
requires a storm to clear the legisla-
tive atmosphere. Officials who are
elected term after term without oppo-
sition never amount to anything or
accomplish anything. Political unan-
imousity and political 'dry rot" are
synomomous terms.
1t should be borne in mind however
that there is a vast difference between
a shot" campaign and "bitter" one.
There are two different allignments
scrapping for supremacy in the pres
ent disturbance. They stand for diff
ferent things and different policies
and the campaign should be waged
along these lines and not on person
alities. Let each crowd concede to
the other honesty of purpose and then
go to it and win or lose like gentle
men.
A shot" campaign is always desir-
able; "vituperative" campaign is al
ways disreputable.

If the ninety-nine millions of aver
age people have an extra dollar a
year to spend, it means ninety-nine
millions of dollars injected into the
business of the country and whether
they have it or not measures the diff
ference between prosperity and the
hardest kind of times.
The reason why Mexico and simil-
ar countries are in their deplorable
condition is because their average cit
liens possess neither education or
property and are under the circum-
stances as they now exist, there is no
way for them to acquire either.
This Republic is the greatest ma
ton on earth simply because the aver
age man is better financially, intellec-
tually and morally than the average
man of any other nation and if this
superiority can be maintained our
national supremacy will be maintain
ed, but if it deteriorates, it will be
lost.
The tendency of the times is to dis
criminate against the average man,
especially in matters political. The
political faddists of the day are advo-
eating everywhere, government by
commissions appointed by somebody,
instead of government by representa-
tives elected by the average men and
responsible to them.
Civil service rules are all the go and
it will soon become as impossible for
an average man to secure an appoint
i've office as it is for a woman in a
hobble skirt to ride a horse cross-sad-
die.
Unless the average men awaken to
the drift of the times and bestir them
selves to protect their own interests,
they will be hopelessly relegated to
the position of hewers of wood and
drawers of water, and their only
function will be to contribute to the
support and maintenance of the bril-
liant conceptions.
The Herald is an. average mans
paper, owned, edited and controlled
by average men; it is supported and
maintained by the money paid by av-
erage men for our average service,
