baked" control is better than none.
The ADLER and more public minded
men are the loftier are their ideals,
and the less they care for expense in
making them reality, especially if
some one else bears the expense.
We don't pretend to know a thing
about the merits or demerits of the
Mayo proposition, but when Editor
Wheelock, or anyone else, character
ICES Senators like DR.. Andrews of
Mankato and DR.. Hilbert Of Melrose,
who led the opposition to this meas
ure as "half- baked, raw politicians, "
he makes monkey of himself. They
are just as able and public minded as
any man on the gu" Board.
When anyone asserts as does the
Weekly in this article, that the Legis-
lature has kept the University on
"short commons" as to maintenance,
for the last 25 years, it exposes its ig-
norance or presumes on the ignorance
of others. 1t is the most pampered
educational institution in the United
States.
We are all proud, of our University.
It is the glory of Minnesota, but it is
not the whole state and there are
other able and public-minded men in
the commonwealth besides those
found on its Board>Gf Regents.
The Sauk Centre herald., 1915-05-20
NO MALICE

Some of our exchanges see, or pro-
fess to see, traces of individual malice
and personal spite in some of our ar
ticles. This may or may not be true.
All men possess their natural likes
and dislikes and these consciously or
unconsciously influence them in every
thing they do, say or write. How
ever we never typed line for the
public press for the purpose of graf
flying our own individual desires. We
write things as they appear to US
without thought or care of how they
may appear to others. We condemn
those things that we think ought to be
condemned and we praise those things
that we think are worthy of approba-
tion. We are never neutral. The
word neutral is synonymous with the
word nothing. We may stand long
ways to the right side of the decimal
point but we do want to stand for an
integer, not a cipher. We do not ex-
pect everybody will agree with US and
would be disappointed if they did. We
expect criticism and would be filled
with dole and gloom if none appeared.
When we make an address or write
an article expressing our views on
public question and it evokes no COM
ment or everybody says: " How nice"
we feel as disgusted as small boy
who was presented with baby sister
when he wanted goat, but when
storm of adverse comment results we
feel as satisfied as a bunch of kids,
arrayed in their Sunday suits, making
mud pies, for then we know we have
touched sore spot in the body polite
and the only way those spots can be
healed is to probe them.lk< =. v:.<s
In the meantime, as the irrepressi

one another" ts. +-..

preserve peace. We hope, believe and
pray that they will be successful.
1t is the supreme duty of the Amer
lean people to stand as one man be-
hind the government in this crisis in
whatever action it may deem wise to
take. All partisanship should be bur-
led except American partisanship.
Men should straightway forget that
they are or ever were Republicans,
Democrats, Progressives or Prohibi-
tionists and remember that they are
only citizens. Forget that they or
their ancestors ever owed any alleg-
lance to any other country or nations
and remember only that they are
Americans.
The spirit of our revolutionary an
ancestors impels US to add that Uncle
Sam is no puny weakling to be used
as a football, to be cuffed and buffet
ed around like the newest boy in a
public school. We possess fifteen mil
lion men capable of bearing arms,
more than have yet been called into
the fighting fields OF Europe, every
one of whom would shed the last drop
of their blood in their country's
cause if dire necessity demanded such
action. We have the second largest
fleet in the world. We could raise
a larger war fund than all the bellig-
erent nations combined without tax
ing our people to the same extent as
theirs are burdened with at the pres
ent time. Our internal resources are
inexhaustible; we could live thous-
and years without depriving ourselves
of any comfort or luxury, if no for
eign ship entered our ports or single
pound of foreign freight was landed
on our shores.
The old refrain, sang with so much
vim and vigor by our great grand
fathers, which thrilled the Republic
like an electrical shock in the days of
its infancy, is ringing in our ears as
we pen this article:
"WE surely do NOT want to fight,
But, by lingo, if THEY DO,
We've got the men; we've got the
ships,
And we've got the MONEY, too.
The Sauk Centre herald., 1915-05-20
THAT APPROPRIATION BILL
AGAIN

In the last issue the Herald stated
that the Appropriation Bill passed by
the last Legislature, was full of freak
legislation. We did not mean by that
it was bad legislation necessarily, but
of such character that the ordinary
mind could find no reason for it's pas
sage.
Paragraph 7, section AZ, of chapter
374 reads: "For acquiring a site not
more than ten feet square and erect
ing granite monument thereon, in
Flora township, Renville county, Min
nesota, to commemorate the memory
of Johann Schwandt and certain mem
bers of his family and household,
murdered during the Sioux outbreak
of 1812-$2OO."
Of course this is a mere bagtelle-
$2OO-in a $17,96O,OOO appropriation,
but why Johann Schwandt and certain
members of his family and house
hold? Thousands of persons were
murdered by the Sioux during those
dark days of Minnesota's history.
Why monument to Johann" any
more than to Hiram Van Eaton of the
township of Grove Lake, Pope county
or any other of the thousands of VIC
Tins of that terrible affair?
There was a fire in the State Hos
pital for the Insane at Hastings in
February, 1914. One A. B. Fletcher,
who was employed there at the time,
mad some clothing burned, which he
claimed was worth $50. Section 10 of
the same chapter appropriates $50 to
reimburse him for this loss. Wonder
if he was the only person who suffer-
ed loss of clothing and valuables at
that fire. 1t is a new rule of law that
if an employers domicile is destroy
ed he is liable for the property of his
employees that might be destroyed by
the fire. When we were clerk: Of the
Reapportionment' Committee several
years: ago We had pipe; that cost US
80. cents, stolen from the Committee
room. We think it was taken by a
member of the Legislature. Anyway,
we saw one of them smoking a pipe
just like it few days afterwards. We
don't see why the Representative
from this district did not get busy and
get US that thirty cents, while the get
ting was good. We need the money
and the state would never feel the ex-

THEY NEED SOME CONTROL

In Re the Mayo affiliation matter,
Harry Wheelock in his Weekly, walls:
"The Legislature, sprinkled with half
baked and wholly raw politicians,
guarding our University from the at
tacks of its own Board of Regents,
than which there is no more able or
public-minded body of men in the
state. Could presumption go farther
than this 2"
We freely concede the ability and
public-mindedness of the University
Board of Regents, but the University
is the apple of their eye, the one eve
lamb of their flock. They are abso-
lutely Eliminate in their demands
for funds for its maintenance and ex-
tension. The limits to which they
would go If subject to no control
staggers the imagination. Even "hali
