THE SKY Pilot

Duluth News-Tribune: The passing
of Frank E. Higgins ends a romantic
career and life devoted to the simple
service Of his fellowmen. Never was
Il life more typically that of the sim
cere disciple Of the divine Master.
He was an ordained minister of an
established church. He worked long to
get this recognition not for himself,
but to give support to his work. His
church was the woods, his meeting
house the lumber camps, his .congrega-
tions the men whose attitude toward
the Christian religion was we'll defined
by their title for him and all preach
ers.
He was their "sky pilot;' he show
ed them the way to that heaven which
they located indefinitely as among the
stars. But he did vastly more. He
recognized that this way led first of
all along the road of decency, of self
respect, Of self-denial and mutual SER
vice. 1t was not a matter of profess
sion but Of living.
He went among these men as one Of
them. He won first their respect, then
their friendship, then their attentive
hearing. He had that breadth Of un-
derstanding and endless sympathy;
that intimate knowledge of human ma
ture in the raw, that enabled him to
guide them and lift them to an appre-
citation of their obligation first Of all
to themselves.
If ever there was a consecrated lite
it was his and the news Of his death
when it reaches the lumber jacks in the
camp, in the woods, in the humble
home or tho city lodging house, will
grip their hearts and moisten their
eyes az no other loss could unless of
wife or child.
Many i one Of these men, too, will
be the better and stronger for the
knowledge that Frank Higgins gave his
life for them, in their service as truly,
as actually and as willingly as ever
patriot gave bic Gov his country.

St. Peter Press: The final report of
the efficiency and economy commission
has been printed and placed in the
hands of the governor. 1t is bulky
affair Of 50 pages, exclusive Of the IN
troductory part and the index, and 1t
will require quite a study on the part
Of the lawmakers to become familiar
with the document. The draft gives
evidence OF careful preparation in all
it's various details, but the system pro-
posed is entirely new and so drastic in
its changes that it's adoption without
amendment is highly improbable.
One of the first impressions a person
gets, after first reading of the skele-
ton draft of the bill now available, is
the apparent attempt of concentration.
Under the proposed bill the governor
is made the head Of the civil admins
tration and as such appoints the direc-
by this bill, who may be removed by
the governor at his discretion. On the
other hand the state university not
only remains an independent affair IN
der the board Of regents as before, but
is given equal voting power on the
state school board and in consequence
practically also controls the whole
school system Of the state. In other
words if that bill becomes law the
governor on the one hand and the
board of regents on the other are i'll
sole control Of the affairs of this state
and may do most anything they like,
within the limits Of the constitution
and the tax-paying ability Of the peo
pie. Is the state ready for such a ra
Niral change?
