MILWAUKEE, HEAD
Is GIVEN POST WITH GOVERN
MENT RAILROAD ADMIN
ISTRATTON.

Aberdeen, June 24.-H. E. Byram,
president of. the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul railroad. has been of
fered a position with the federal rail-
way administration and viii retire
from the presidency of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul road, IL be-
came known here today in railroad
circles through press dispatches and
reports over railroad wires from
Washington.
The Milwaukee road is one OF
three northwest lines which loses a
president through the offer of fed
eral posts to the road heads, the
Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern also losing their presidents
through similar offers.
All three road executives have been
selected by Director General McAdoo
as federal managers for rail lines OF
the nation, and their successors will
be announced as soon as the board OF
directors of the lines meet.
Rumors that A. j. Earling, former
president of the Milwaukee. would
again become head of the road were
prevalent here today and were cred
tied by many as likely. Mr.. Earling,
who is a veteran railroad executive,
was head of the Milwaukee for many
years and just a year ago rendered
his resignation and retired because
OF his age and falling health. He
has since been chairman of the board
of directors of the road. and II Is not
unlikely, 1t was said here today. that
he will succeed Mr.. Byram.
Reports were also current that
Louis Hill will become head of the
Great Northern road to succeed w,
p. Kennedy. who will take a position
as federal director.

SCHOOLS OF STATE
REPORT of SURVEY OF STATE
URGES SEVERAL CHANGES
In EDUCATIONAL
SYSTEM.

Pierre, June 24.-The report of
the commission which has made an
educational survey of the state was
presented to the state commission
and heads of different state educa-
tional survey of the state was pre-
scented to the state commission and
heads Of different state educational
institutions and is a lengthy docu-
ment, which will soon be printed for
distribution. 1t goes into detail as to
what is the matter with the educa-
tional system of the state, and makes
a number of recommendations along
lines which have in the past been sug-
gested to the legislature. but have
never been accepted.
Among the recommendations are
the limitation of normal schools to
training of teachers for rural and
grade work here; the shifting of
some of the courses of study now car.
ried by the state school of agriculture
at Bookings, to the university at
Vermillion, and a corresponding shift
from the university to the State col
lege; the elimination of the School
of Mines and the incorporation of its
work with other schools of the state.
Along common school lines. the
recommendation is for appointive
state and county superintendent, in
stead of elective officials, and the
trict and placing schools under SUI
pervision of a county board instead
of local officials.
At least these are the recommend
ations as gathered from comments as
to policies as the general report is
not ready to be given to the public as
yet by the commission in charge.

More Stringent
Sedition Laws

The kilograms from Washing
ton informs us that Senator Walsh
has taken an active part in tht
framing of new legislation in the
senate to cover seditiouS and I'm.
patriotic conduct ON the part Of
disloyal citizens, incorporating in
the proposed amendments to that
law some paragraphs from the
Montana state law on this subject
passed by the recent special legis-
lative session at Helena. We re-
cord the fact with special pleasure
for more than one reason. In the
first place it gives added evidence
that Senator Walsh is once more
in full vigor of recovered health
activity at Washington and the
administration and the country
will have the advantage of his
conceded influence and ability as
a lawmaker at the national capital.
In the second place the people of
Montana have felt with especial
keenness the insufficiency of the
present federal sedition law, as in
terpreted by Judge Bourquin of
this federal district court, to meet
the needs of the situation as re-
spects the curbing of disloyal
speeches and disloyal conduct
with respect to the war. The |
language of the new federal statue |
as advocated by Senator Walsh |
leaves no room fos doubt on the
part of any judiciary officer as to
the intent of congress to punish
by drastic penalties any such dis
loyal conduct. Insofar as Senator
Walsh has been instrumental in
changing the present law on sedi-
ton and making il clear and I'M
mistakable in its purpose and pro-
visions, he has done a great and
needed service 10 the state and
nation and forged new claims to |
the appreciation and gratitude of
his constituents. The Tribune ex-
tends congratulations and express
es the hope that continued health ;
and strength will be his, and that :
we may long have the benefit of !
his ability and patriotism in the
upper chamber of Our national
congress. Great Falls Tribune.
