A JUST TRIBUTE.

There is a rumor that Cover
nor Hammond is thinking SER
iously of reappointing Charles E.
Vasaly, chairman of the board of
control, whose term expires April
1. On the other hand, there has
been a movement started by the
Democrats, the purpose of which
would be to block confirmation by
the Senate. Chairman Vasaly has
made a good official and there
are many citizen of the state who
would be pleased to see him con-
tinue at the post he has so ably
filled.-Bemidji Pioneer.
When Mr.. Vasaly was appointed a

Governor Johnson, there was some

OVERCROWDED INSTITUTIONS

Minnesota is a great and wealthy
state. 1t has provided certain institu-
lions in the spirit of good citizenship,
and helpfulness to the weak and the
unfortunate members of society.
Some of these institutions are so
badly crowded as to at least mitigate
their highest degree of usefulness.
At the St. Cloud reformatory, for
example, where young men are sent
to get them back on the right track,
many of the inmates have been Sleep
ing in the corridors and in a big open
dormitory, a condition which is detri-
mental to good results if not absolute
1y dangerous. At the same time there
is completed building, which re-
mains unused, because the legislature
has not provided the furnishings. This
has got to be done, and the board of
control has pleaded in vain for the
necessary appropriation, Immediately
available, so that the cells can be in
stalled.
Up at Sank Centre is the Home
School for Girls, an institution which
is giving Minnesota prestige all over
the country as having most success
fully solved the hardest problem of all
the ages, and this institution is also
over-crowded. The reports from the
state capitol are that the "heart is be-
ing cut out" of the requests made by
the matron, and approved by the
board of control. 1t may be given an
additional cottage, but some of the es-
sential things needed may have to go
over to another session.
1t is claimed that some if not all of
the hospitals for the insane are
wretchedly over-crowded. Over at
Willmar the state owns many acres,
well equipped with buildings, which
might be used either as a woman's re-
formatory or place for the harmless
and incurable unfortunates. 1t is gen.
orally admitted that this Willmar in
stitution is crowding close on the
heels of failure-and for the simple

Probably no other insect causes more
damage to the wheat crop in the Unit
ed States than the Hessian fly, al
though there are certain years when
the chinch bug exceeds the fly in its
devastations.
A number of years ago there was in
Kansas general cooperation between
grain dealers. millers and farmers to
restrict the ravages of this dangerous
insect. According to their own esti-
mate. over a million dollars was saw

1t is in the remodeling of many of
the old buildings that considerable out
side material in the way of brick,
slate, tile, stone and terra Gotta en-
tiers. This was necessary as the board
was compelled to match the materials
used in the old construction. Bedford
stone is used for exterior trim in the
new university buildings, but this was
likewise necessary because of the fact
that the Elliott hospital, the first to
be erected on the new campus, was so
equipped and uniformity was desired
by the university board of regents.
While this stone was purchased out
side the state it was brought to the
grounds in the rough and finished by
Minnesota labor. At the present time
all birck used in the various univer-
sity buildings is Minnesota product.
In every instance Minnesota con-
tractors, where possible, are favored
and while the board has no jurisdic-
ton over sub-contracts provided the
material used and the labor employed
are what is specified, the home pro-
duce is requested and often insisted
upon.
