gorins the aged to death and stalking
about among US as lion among the
martyrs Of the Coliseum, we should be
up and doing, militia would march
forth to give them battle, colonies
would wave swords, guns would beleh
and no enthusiasm would be lacking.
But whom the monster is small and
playful and common we let him raw
age. He doesn't somehow appeal to
our imagination.
Yet he does more harm, being 10,-
Ooo,ooo,ooo or so, than any ten mino-
taurs, poIyphemuses or dragons that
ever posed in the pages of tradition.
He is the common house fly.
Although much has been said about
him and his deadliness, the people are
not yet alive to the enormity of his
crimes. There are thousands Of kitch-
ems where flies still swarm and infect
the food, thousands of babies over
whose faces and upon whose lips flies
spread their poison, thousands of re:
taurants and lunch counters where
flies are busy at the work Of thinning
out the human race.

a man where he can't get into
mischief, he can't do much good
either. To have efficient govern
ment, you must locate somewhere
the power to do things.
One of the heads of departments
was speaking today about some
work that ran very close to similar
work in another department. We
could cooperate on that to good
advantage he said, but my
predecessor, 1 understand, had
some difficulty with the man in
charge of the other department and
1 have never been able to get in
touch with him. Now the bureau
of so and so is different-we get
along together beautifully"
Isn't that amazing? For six
years-the disagreement goes back
that far-two brancees of the same
business have not been able to get
along together. They have work
ed at cross purposes where they
might have worked in team. In
private business that state of af-
fairs would mean destruction. In
the state it can not mean anything
but waste. And there is nobody
in the state of Minnesota who can
tell those departments that they
must work together. In your
business if thing like that hap
pened you would knock their heads
together, tell them that if they
couldn't agree there would be a
high-priced vacancy. In the state
it has lasted six years and nobody
has had any authority to stop that
foolishness.
That Doesn't often happen.
Mostly there is fine spirit of CO.
operation in the state house. But
if there is a falling out, as some
times happens in any family, there
is nobody in the state who has
fathers job.
Some of you were asking how
much would be saved by the plans
of the efficiency commission. The
members of the commission will
tell you they don't know. They
can point out places where it might
be possible to save ten thousand
and twenty thousand and more.
Anyone can do that with a very
little acquaintance with the sub
ject. They can point out places
where at least part of that saving
will have to be spent on increased
salaries to get the kind of men
needed for the states business in
its present magnitude.
But they can also show places
where there are losses in efficiency
that cannot be measured-like this
place where two departments that
should be related will have nothing
| to do with one another-and that
amounts to more than is told by
cutting off half dozen inspectors
or dismissing a handful of clerks.
Give the state single manage
ment under a general manager who
is held responsible for results.
That is what is understood by a
business organization of the states
business. You may or you may
not cut down expenses materially
that depends on how earnestly
the people feel about it. But in
any case it will enable a legislature
that wants to cut expenses to do it
intelligently. And it will enable
any governor who wants to get
results-and any man you are
going to elect governor will be
ambitious will enable him to
show larger product for the ex-
penditure.
That's business.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1914-04-03

Why did the efficiency commits
sion propose to put the public
school at Owatonna in the depart
ment of public welfare? Why
dosen't that belong to education!
The state public school is no penal
institution; it dosen't belong with
prisons nor insane asylumS.
AWell, perhaps it should have
been put under education. And
any member of the commission
will tell you he is ready to change
his mind any time it is shown him
that it ought to be changed. But
the reason for the present mind of
the commission is this.
The department of education as
proposed will supervise the schools
of the state as it does now. 1t
will not run any schools of its own
any more than it does now. The
superintendent does not hire teach
ers for Albert Lea or Morris or
Bemidji, does not look after the
buildings at Pipestone or Hastings;
he supervises the school systems
which are conducted by the local
school boards.
Now the state public school is
a boarding school, where children
are housed, fed, taught and look
ed after in every way. The state
superintendent is not in that bust
ness. The department of public
welfare is in that very business
That department is running six
teen great hotels and boarding
houses with fifteen hundred en-
ployes and nearly ten thousand
guests. Running a boarding school
for little children at Owatonna is
right in line with the rest.
The state superintendent might
be splendid educator and not be
fit to manage a boarding school.
The director of public welfare has
got to be man who can manage
living conditions for people in in
situations.
But wherever you find a school,
whether it is in independent dis
trict No. /, or consolidated rural
school in Koochiching county, or a
school for waits of the state at
Owatonna inside an institution
walls, it is the superintendent S
duty to see that it comes up to
certain standards.
It is impossible to arrange a
scheme of state departments that
will not overlap somewhat. The
health department has some duties
that run very close to those of
public welfare, the labor depart
ment has work that concerns itself
with safety also. But this is a
convenient division of principle
duties. Wherever you find the
state running a boarding house,
let the department of public well
fare take care of it.
A business that spends fifteen
million dollars year without any
general manager-that is the state
of Minnesota. Noninally the
governor is the head of it. Actual
ly the governor has very little con-
troll over it. Some of the depart
ments handling the biggest items
are arranged purposely so that the
governor will not have anything
to do with them.
In fact, Minnesota like all the
states and the majority of the cities
has been afraid of itself. The con-
stent attempt has been to devise a
system of appointments so that the
governor, or in a city the mayor,
shall not have a chance to get into
mischief. And it has lately come
to be realized that when you put

UNDER NEW LEADER
Heironimus Brings Factions
Together on MOOted Issue
After Election as President
for Coming Year.

Improvement of the West-side dump
will be made the main work of the
Westside improvement Association for
the coming year. This was the decis-
ion reached by members of the assoc
iation at their first meeting of the
year at the Baxter schoolhouse last
night. This was the only plan formu-
lated for the work to be done, most of
the time being taken up with the
election of new officers.
The report Of the nominating COM
mittee appointed by Dr. E. B. Gros-
venor, was not satisfactory to the
members and was turned down. A
new committee was appointed, and
nominations were made previous to
the election. N. c. Heironimus, prin-
cipal of the Garfield school was elect
ed president Of the association. Other
officers were: First vice-president T..
c. Hubbard; second vice-president,
John Fosler; third vice-president, J..
w. Rethmeyer; secretary, Frank
Waidele; assistant secretary, Paul
Hazeltine; treasurer, Levi c. Peacock.
Chairman Of the standing committees
are c. o. Williams, public service COM
mittee, E. G. Mahon, civic beauty CON-
mite, Thomas Elleman, industries
committee and Edgar Tiff, public

will serve with the other officers as

mittee will meet next Tuesday even

Church Members Expect
Yearly Session to Com
mend Wilson's Acts and
Nations Neutrality.

The ninety-fourth annual session of
will begin Monday with the session
Of ministers and elders, the yearly
meeting proper opening Tuesday morn
ing and continuing until Saturday ev.
ening.
The annual deliberations of Indiana
yearly meeting, representing as it
does the largest body of Quakers in
the world, always has more or less
interest to the various American and
foreign yearly meetings, and it has
special interest and deep significance
to the 10000 or more members within
it's own jurisdiction. In general
way the program compiled this year
may be compared with those of for
mer years, but inasmuch as the pro-
gram itself can not indicate very def
initely what is to transpire with re-
gard to various phases of the meet
ing's work, the real features of the
approaching session can not be fore
told
Expect War Comment.
In addition to routine business that
will be taken up day by day, the re-
ports of various standing committees
and board of the several institutions
under the guidance of the meeting,
will have more than passing interest.
The peace committee of Indiana year.
ly meeting, which never fails to come
forth with interesting comment rela-
tive to the progress of the peace prop
aganda, may be looked to this year
to provide something of special i'm
portance. No teaching of the Relig-
ious Society of Friends has been given
more prominence than that of stimulat-
ing the sentiment for peace. The So
ciety of Friends from it's very founda-
ton has stood against war; in fact, it
was for many years the only organza-
ton, religious or otherwise, that made
an avowed stand against war, and
which advocated the peaceful settle
ment of international questions
through the medium of arbitration.
| Just at this time when the European
nations are at war, the Friends in this
and other countries are among those
who are hoping and praying for an
early end of the struggle, and utter
ances of yearly meetings, especially
Indiana yearly meeting, touching upon
the subject, will be of special interest.
1t will not be surprising if the peace
committee next week will not take
upon itself the duty to pass judgment
, on the war in foreign lands and to
laud those nations who have striven
to keep peace. Especially are the
Friends of America, it is said, pleased
at the attitude of President Wilson,
not only in connection with the Eu-
ropean war, but with relation to the
| tnv hi
handling of delicate questions brought
forth much comment in his behalf.
Indications point to large attend
ance of visitors to this years sessions
and already some of the delegates are
arriving.
| President Kelly, of Earlham college
clerk of Indiana yearly meeting, will
preside at the opening next Tuesday
and there is no question that he
will again be chosen to fill the office
for another year.
