Kansas City, May 13.-Class rivalry
at the Kansas City. Kan, high school
resulted in the egging Tuesday of Miss
Boneta Mcguire. vice president of the
senior class, and Willard Benton,
president Of the class. The incident
took place on Minnesota avenue q
block from the school. Some of the
badly directed eggs ! lrst in motor
cars near the curb and one struck an
elderly woman who was passing.
The seniors appeared wearing their
class colors on their neckties. This
angered the juniors, and they at
tempted to break up the rehearsal Of
the class play. AS the players were
leaving the building a party of Junior
boys followed them. willard Benton
angered them by stopping a fight, and
the boys procured eggs, making Ben

the eggs. Her dress was spattered
and his coat smeared by two Of the
well aimed missiles. The couple es-

Mrs. Heaston has sold 992 dozen eggs

Henry Rines has finally given up
the contest for the state authorship
nomination on the republican ticket.
He had gained over 300 votes in 20
counties, but Preus had still lead
of over 100. Mr.. Rines made a gal
liant fight, and had his alleged friends
bestirred themselves in his behalf he
would have been an easy winner.
The Union was about the only news
paper in the state that made an
fight for Mr.. Rines, and
we have no apologies to offer to any,
one. Our only regret is that Mr..
Rines was not successful.

Another state institution of which
Minnesota people have reason to
feel proud is the reformatory at
St. Cloud. Everything in and
around the buildings is as neat as a
newvpin, good discipline prevails, the
inmates appear to be well fed, well
clothed and as contented as men de-
prived of their liberty can be. The
new superintendent, Mr.. H. K.
Scott, understands his business and
has things we'll in hand, and he
has corps of able assistants who
work in unison with him. The St..
Cloud reformatory is model of it's
kind. The only criticism that could
be offered is that it is over-crowded.
But that is a condition for which
q neither Supt. Scott or the board of
control is responsible.

Thirty-one commission men have
been indicted on charge of raising
the price of foodstuffs unnecces-
sarily. If there is a conspiracy to
charge exorbitant prices for the
necessities of life, the conspirators
should be shown no mercy. Some
time ago the sugar barons were
found guilty of defrauding the gov
ernment out of custom duties, and
sugar was one of the first commodi-
ties to advance in price. Consider
ing their questionable business
methods in the past it would not be
surprising if they were in conspir-
acy to hold up the public. A few
Jail sentences might help conditions.

Another member of the last ]egis-
,lature who made good, was Hon. T.
t. Ofsthun of Glenwood. Y: Mr.. OFFS
:thun was chairman. OF. the. impor-
tant house committee on taxes-all
tax measures must originate in the
house-and his fairness and impair
tia]ity favorably impressed every
member of that committee. Mr..
:Ofsthun was always fair and courz
teous in debate, hence he had the
good will of his fellow mem bers,
whether their views coincided with
his or not and to our way of think
ing he was nearly always right. Mr..
Ofsthun isr not a :,demagogue. He
never favored a measure, because it
seemed to be popular. The question
with him was is the measure for the
best interests of the people of the
state. Mr.. Ofsthun is candidate
for the senate in the Pope-Douglas
district and he deserves success at
the polls in November.

Recently the last batch of certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness issued to pro-
vide ready means for the erection of
the new state capitol were cancelled.
But the pernicious practice of is
suing certificates of Indebtedness for
the erection of public buildings has
not stopped. The result is that at
each session of the legislature mea-
sures are crowded through which
provide an insignificant tax levy for
the erection of buildings that are
not actually needed; the tax is so
small that there is no serious objec-
tion certificates of Indebtedness are
then issued in anticipation of the
collection of the tax five or ten years
ahead, and those certificates bear in
terest at the rate of four per cent.
If direct appropriation of S1,O00,-
600 or so was asked for it would not
be granted unless the contemplated
building was absolutely necessary,
but there would be small objection
to a measure that provided for an
annual fraction of mill tax for the
same purpose.

Tommy Schall is making a stren-
uous campaign for congress in this
district, and he is going to get some
votes, too. He is making the race
for convenience sake as a progressive
republican. Tommy is just plain
republican. but in order to comply
with the election laws he is obliged
to have his name appear on the bal
lot as a progressive republican. ="
He is as good a republican today as
he was ten years ago when he cam
paigned for his party's nominees,

Farewell Partv,

A farewell party was rendered
Mrs. Will S. Whitney last Sunday
evening at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jos. Payette. Mrs. Whitney
leaves shortly for Graceville, where
her husband has been appointed
manager of large -four mill. There
were about forty friends of the guest
of honor present, and the evening
was spent most pleasantly in games
and story telling. Irish wit pre-
vailed throughout the evening, and
when the mindight hour drew near
a delicious luncheon was served by
Mrs. Payette, assisted by Mrs. Tub
man. Cheer and laughter sounded
throughout the evening in the hos
pitable home. Mrs. Whitney leaves
a great number of friends in Prince
ton, who keenly regret her depar-
ture.

There are some board and commits
sions that could be abolished with
out loss to the state, but 1.-The board
of state highway commissioners is
not one of them. The three men,
bers of that board are live busi-
ness men and their time is valuable,
yet they give the state 25 or 80 days
service each year for which they re-
ceive not single dollar of re4uner-
ation-not even for their necessary
expenses. Charles M. Babcock of
our neighboring village of Elk River
is chairman and g: I. McNair Of
Cloquet and F.. S. Bell of Winona are
the other members of the board.

In some quarters the state board
of control is harshly criticized be-
cause things are not as they should
be- at the Hastings insane hospital.
If conditions are as bad as reported
at the Hastings institution the su-
perintendent is blamable, and the
public can rest assured that the
board of control will hold him to a
strict accountability. But the
Hastings hospital is only one of a
dozen state institutions with total
population of ten thousand and over
under the jurisdiction of the board,
and it would be passing strange if
there was not an occasional direlec-
tion of duty on the part of one of
the many employees in these institu-
tions. But on the whole the wards
of the state are we'll and economi-
cally cared for. Take the Anoka
hospital for the insane for instance,
it would be hard to find a better
conducted similar institution any
where. The same is true of our re-
formatory and states. prison and of
our state institutions generally.
The state board of control is de-
serving of praise for the admirable
manner in which the state institu-
tions as a whole are conducted.

. AS an aid to the democrats the
war is almost as potent as the pro-
gressives. The European conflict
has erected barrier to foreign i'm
ports to this country, higher and
frmer than any tariff wall. It looks
as if this nation will have no oppor-
tunity to fully test the Underwood

st. Cloud is entitled to long
white credit mark. One of the
worst stretches of street or road any,
where between Princeton and the
Granite City was East St. Germain
street from the bridge to the North
ern Pacific track. That piece Of
street was disgrace to city of St..
Clouds pretensions. This summer a
concrete pavement has been put
down on that stretch of street and it
certainly is a pleasure to ride, walk
or crawl over it. The improvement
should have been made 80 years ago.

Wisconsin evidently decided that
it's progress had been backward in
stead of forward, and has concluded to
change it's course. More theories
have been tried in Wisconsin than
in any other commonwealth save
Oregon, and the results are far
from gratifying. There is a vast
difference between theory and prac-
tice and it is to be hoped that others
will profit by Wisconsin's expensive
experiments.

constantly obliged to retire before
vastly superior numbers. But the
British retire in good order and

that he violated his treaty obliga-

Mr.. Wolfer suggests stockaded
quarry camps where the men, could
get ready during the winter supplies
of crushed rock to be used during
the seven months season of road
building. Thus the men could be
employed the year round at work
that would be healthful and helpful.
Minneapolis Journal. a.
The above is an extract from an
editorial in the Minneapolis Journal
indorsing Warden Henry Wolfer's
recommendation that a part Of the
state prisons inmates should be
employed in road-making.
Any suggestion or recommends
tion made by Mr.. Wolfer is entitled
to consideration, for he is not only
an eminent" penologist but also a
high grade business man.
1t might be impracticable to work
the convicts on roads, but they GER
tainly could be employed to good ad-
vantage in preparing material for
the construction of roads, and there
is no better material in the world
for surfacing roads than crushed
granite. With proper attention and
at a small cost a road that has been
properly surfaced with crushed
granite will last for ages.
Mr.. Wolfer's recommendation
should be favorably acted upon by
the next legislature.
