Ex-Governor Eberhart has announc-
ed himself as a candidate for the re-
publican nomination for senator. He
points to his record as governor, stands
for the protective tariff, preparedness,
neutrality, budget system, industrial
and commercial preparedness, and re.
tention Of the Philippines until the
people are fit for government. With
out doubt the fact that the former
governor ran as high man as dele
gate in the recent republican presiden-
tial preference primary, had, much to
do with his announcement, although it
had been previously surmised that the
governor would take such action.
Adolph Eberhart, will, without doubt,
be strong contender for the nomina-
ton.

Sheemlker, president of the St. Clouu,d;
Normal school is dead, he having pass

Thursday Of last week. III 'ss
DR.. Waite "a. Shoemaker was borr
in Wiloughby, Ohio, March "a, 1860
When he was three years Of age his
parents moved to Plainview, MINI.
where they lived for seven years. In
1870 the family moved to Maine Prai
RE, where DR.. Shoemaker g father
preached the gospel. For two years
DR.. Shoemaker attended the country
schools at Maine Prairie, but he soo1
outgrew the course there. At the age
of IL he came to st. Cloud and attend
ed the model normal school. After at
tending school for some time he stop
ped for time and worked on farm
and taught country school. He soo1
returned to school and in 1881 he grad
uated from the st. Cloud normal
school.
Immediately after graduation he
was elected to the normal faculty. AT.
ter few years he took year $ leave
of absence, attending Columbia uni.
versity, where he received the degree
Of Phi. D. In 1900 he was elected su.
perintendent Of the st. Cloud public
schools, therefore resigning his posi-.
ton on the normal faculty. Two years
later, in 1902, he was, recalled to the
normal and was elected president of
that institution. He has held that
position since that time. His success
there has been very remarkable. When
he took charge the school had the
smallest attendance of all the normal
schools in the state. Within a year
after the election of DR.. Shoemaker, it
was the largest normal and has main
tanned that Lead ever since. DR.. Shoe
maker was recognized as one of the
most forceful educators of the country
and had the confidence and admiration
of hosts of graduates and educators
the northwest. DR.. Shoe
maker has not been active in the work
at the normal school for the past year,
although he held the title of president.
DR.. Shoemaker is survived by his
widow and two children, Miss Isabel
who teaches in the Cen
trail high school of Minneapolis, and
John Shoemaker, superintendent of
schools at Ada, MINI. He also leaves
two brothers, G. D. Shoemaker of Kim
ball, and M. E. Shoemaker of Kimball.
and one sister, Mrs. Joseph Mason of
Kimball.
Funeral services of the late DR..
Shoemaker were held Saturday morn
ing at the normal assembly hall. The
burial was in the family lot at Maine
Prairie.
Mr.. Shoemaker was exceptionally
we'll known in educational circles all
over the state. He has probably de-
liyered as many addresses to graduat-
ing classes as any man in the state
and was at one time president of the
State Educational association. He was
an active worker in civic affairs in st.
Cloud and always energetic on Com
nercial club committees. He was
member Of the Elks.

Business and professional men End
them-have for years aided in move
ments for the city's good, hustled, col
lected, served on committees, pulled,
hauled and tugged, all to help the
town-and without pay for services
rendered, nor did they expect pay. If
they had received pay, they would not
have called it patriotism. The laborer
is worthy of his hire, but he should
not expect to be considered a
philanthropist OF patriot if every
civic service rendered brings pecuniary
reward.

While there is a lot of alleged pa.
triotism being exploited by the metro.
politan press, the senate Of the United
States, with the help of Senator Mel:
son, has passed the Shields bill, de-
signed to give away the waterpowers
of this country, or what is left Of them
to any capitalists who are ready to
grab them. The power that comes
from flowing water, one Of the great
est gifts Of God to his children, has
been largely appropriated in this
country, and one Of the greatest of
natural resources has been the means
of making wealth for men who were
shrewd enough to take from their fell
low men that which should be as much
common property as the life-giving air.
It is predicted that President Wilson
will veto the Shields bill, and we hope
he will. It strikes us that there is
just as. much patriotism in saving ma.
tural resources for the people, and to
secure for them and the generations
to come, the benefits of development
Of the great gifts of the Creator, as
to get exercised over improved methods
Of destroying your fellow men, and
incidentally helping out the munitions
makers. It is quite noticeable that
many of the patriots who are afraid
the country is in danger, haven't any
comPunction in voting to give any
parts Of the country's resources, tc
money magnates for purposes of ex
ploitation. Some day in the future
the people may play monstrous Joke
5on the exploiters. They will not be

bring back the natural resources which
have been taken from them, that is
what is left after the gigantic squan
dering.

AGAINST THE LAW TO
FISH IN HEART RIVER

Reports are coming in to the au-
thorities that boys are catching quite
a number of good-sized trout and pike
in the N. P. storage reservoir and in
the waters around the dam on Heart
river west of the city. Thousands of
trout, perch, pike and pickerel finger
lings and frye were ceposited in these
waters in the past few years and
under the state laws fishing is pro-
hibited for period of five years from
the time Of stocking. -
Our young nimrods probably do not
know they are laying themselves
liable to arrest and prosecution from
the state for violating the fish and
game laws, but such is the case and
we hope there will be no occasion for
such action. .',.:l :
The game wardens will have warn
ing signs posted around these for
bidden grounds and will probably
keep an eye open for violators in the
future. ~ g.s< no., zez53s' 4 Is Nc & q
The Dickinson Gun club is very
