A BAD HABIT

In scanning the exchanges that
come to our desk this week we found
the articles that had been taken from
the columns of the Herald without
giving any credit therefor. 1t always
makes us feel heap more puffed up
to have our illusions copied without
credit than to have credit given. Then
we pride ourself that they are so good
that the editors desire to pass them
off for their own. When they are duly
credited we sometimes harbor the
thought they are lifted simply to jam
into a vacancy in the makeup. New.
ertheless, it is a bad habit for news.

A Virginia editor threatened to

two even paid year in advance.

Since the above item has been going
the rounds of the press the Herald Of

doubt, that they are better osculotory
performers than paying ones.

park would not be frequented much
longer after night.

NOT SEEKING THE LIMELIGHT

1t is intimated that Ex-Gover-
nor Eberhart would like the honor
of heading the Minnesota delega-
ton to the next Republican ma
tional convention. The Twin City
papers have also stated that Sem
ator Nelson would appreciate the
same honor. 1t would seem as if
these two men, who have been so
signally honored in the past,
be willing to let some others have
the slight privilege of paying their
own expenses to a national con-
vention.-Mapleton Enterprise.
We hold no brief for Governor Eb
erhart, but from 40 years personal &C
quaintance with sturdy Knute, we cal
positively state that if he goes as 1:
delegate to the National convention
it will be because the people insis
that he go, not because he asks then
to send him.

THE SHORT BALLOT

Hon. Elihu B. Root, who is unques-
tionably one of the ablest men in
public life today, and who is President
of the New York constitutional con-
vention, recently made powerful
speech in favor of the "Short Ballot
as a remedy for the evils of "Invisi-
BILE Government" and as cure for
"Political Bossism." His theory is to
have only the names of the Governor
and Lieutenant Governor go on the
ticket and have theseofficials appoint
all the other officials to handle the
state administration. His argument is
that the people, and especially the ig-
norant voters are liable to become per-
picked by a multiplicity of names and
as result, ignorant, incompetent and
corrupt men may be chosen for official
positions.
All the great papers, especially
those that represent Invisible Gov
eminent" and stand for political
Bossism," are loud in their commend
alton of the plan.
With all due respect to the ability
of Mr.. Root and his honesty of inten-
ton, he is not the man we would Sc
lect to prescribe a remedy for these
evils. His associations, training and
environment are wrong.
Furthermore, we think the remedy
would be worse than the disease.
While admitting that elective Off
GERS often grow crooked our experience
and we have had some-is that cleo
tive officials serve the people far bet
ter than appointive ones, and that if
the people of New York, or any other
state supplant any elective official
with an appointive one they will rue
the day they took such action. The
fundamental foundation of free gov
eminent is, that officials that handle
the business of the people should be di-
:rectly responsible to the people. Any
concession to ignorance, or lack OF in
formation on the part of the voter
results in disaster. The cry of saving
the people from the people is the cry
of the plutocrat.

JUST A HABIT

The Sank Cente Head is real
angry because this paper stated
that it believed that Senator Mos
es E. Clapp will succeed himself
in the United States Senate. The
Herald rises to enquire why the
Enterprise is supporting Mr..
Clapp, and in asking that ques-
ton takes a lot for granted. In
the first place, we are NOT going
to support Moses E. Clapp for an
other term. We are of the opin-
ion that he will succeed himself,
however, because of the very fact
that the field will be all Uttered
up with a mess Of candidates, and
in that event Clapp will be able to
amass enough votes to put him
over. Trusting that this explana-
ton will in measure sooth our
esteemed contemporary, we
await the next volley with bated
breath. Winnebago Enterprise.

was granted permission to give their
annual reception to the seniors in a

board last night. The crowded con-
dltion of the upper hall, especially,
on account of the installation of lock-

of pupils il the class, amongst whom
to divide the expense, made it seem
advisable for the board to permit the
class to go outside for this annual
function.

mission be granted the junior class to
hold a reception outside of the high
school under the supervision of the
