BILL WOULD TAKE|
SCHOOL POSITION
OUT OF POLITICS
Rothrock Urges Change in
Qualifications for County
School Superintendent.

Wayne county school teachers and
citizens interested in education are
watching with interest bill that Rep
resentative David Rothrock, who is a
professor at Indiana University, is pre-
pared to introduce in the general as
sembly, which will change the qualifi-
cations for county superintendent and
will attempt to take the position out
of politics. NsMN%
The measure provides that no per-
son shall be eligible to the office of
county superintendent unless grad
uate of standard college or standard
normal school, maintaining four
years course, and shall have complet-
ed and obtained college or normal
school credits for not less than twenty
semester hours of professional work
for the training of teachers. The meas
ure also would compel. the applicant
to have had not less than three years
successful experience in public school
work, and it further provides for the
issuance of county superintendent
qualification certificates by the state
board of education, as a prerequisite
to obtaining county SUPPLEMENTARY.
To Pass on Qualifications.
Power is given the state board Of
education, in the issuance of these GER
tificates, to pass on the general quail
fications of applicants for certificates
to a degree that never has existed
heretofore.
Section 3 of the bill provides that
Gin electing county superintendent of
schools, the township trustees shall
consider only the qualifications of the
respective candidates, and shall base
their choice exclusively on merit, re-
CARELESS of the political affiliations OF
the respective candidates"
The measure also provides that "all
county superintendent in office at the
time when this act shall take effect,
shall continue to serve for the term for
which they were elected, unless re-
moved for cause, and shall be eligible
for reelection
This section apparently is written
into the bill to obviate attacks on the
measure by county superintendent
now in office who could not fulfill the
requirements of the bill. The bill
would take effect May 1, 1919, if en-
acted in it's present form. 1t says no
word on the question of increased sal
aries for county superintendent, al
though it is understood such a meas
ure may be introduced in the assembly
as usually is the case.

Quarrel .uith Mother
in-Law Brings Man
Into Police Court

An historical mother-in-law, Mrs.
Minnie Ribelin, told in city court
Thursday of the alleged abuse of her
son-in-law, Alfred Street. She said that
he "choked her. and damned her
down." and dragged her into a bed
room and pushed her on the bed, all
because of a board bill amounting to
so cents.
Yesterday morning an argument
arose about the board bill of Mr. and
Mrs. Street. Mrs. Ribelin contended
that her son-in-law owed her money,
which he denied. She ordered him to
leave the house. He attempted to
settle the matter quietly, he testified:
Mrs. Rfbelin became hysterical and
started to leave when her son-in-law
took her into the bedroom to calm her.
Officer Vogelsong went to the house.
He testified that the woman was not
injured but that she was hysterical
and refused to settle the board bill
as her daughter wished her to do.
Mayor Zimmerman instructed the
family to separate Officer Vogelsong
was instructed to go to the house and
get the possessions of the daughter
and son-in.law.

LOCAL TEACHERS
NOT AFFECTED BY
PENSION CHANGE

Guy C. Sipple, president Of the City
Teachers association said today that
the teachers Of this city would offer
no protest to the proposed modifica-
ton Of the teachers pension law as
recommended by Governor Goodrich
in his message to the legislature. The
local school teachers are not affected
by any present pension law, as the
city schools have never accepted it's
provisions and President Sipple said
that while he believed the Richmond
teachers would advocate state regu-
lation of pension law so that a quail
fled teacher in any part Of the state
might be eligible, it was thought that
because they are not affected by con-
ditions they should offer no opposi-
ton.
Organized opposition is being taken
in other parts Of the state. Tippe-
canoe county school teachers held a
meeting in Lafayette Wednesday to
protest against the proposal by the
governor.

Four Thousand Tax
Delinquents in City

The tax campaign which is now
being waged in Richmond is not prog
ressing as it should be, according to
tax expert Cosler. Mr.. Cosler stated
that persons do not seem to realize
that they must pay delinquent taxes.
They seem to have been spoiled by
campaign two years ago in which the
collectors were rude and hasty and
consequently made themselves gener-
ally disagreeable with the public.

grace from some who have come into
this community only in late years and
whose contributions to the taxes and
revenue Of the city c,.n be counted in
cents rather than in hundreds of dollars
to take it upon themselves to dictate the
policy Of New Ulm.
In his attitude against Fritsche and
Pfaender, Hess made enemies OF great
many men who might not otherwise
have had their attention called to his
shortcomings as an educator. During
the stress Of war times, people under
stood that they had to be quist about
things which in ordinary times might
be openly discussed. So it cane that
those who protested to be the only 100
per cen1 loyalists could lord it over others
who were not so enthusiastic about the
war game, but who nevertheless support
ed the government in whatever it asked
of contributions and donations.
An Eye-Opener.
But the war is now over, to all intents
and purposes, and if those who have
taken it for granted that they could
down all those who did not do just as
they dictated in this city, think they
can still pursue the policy Of bluff and
braggadocio, we think they should find
in the election just passed an eye-opener.
All over the state it is apparent that
the tide has turned. In Mankato, Du-
luth and just very recently in st. Paul,
the candidates who represented the COM
mon people were pu.. into office in spite
of strenuous opposition by Ehe capitalists.
Disguise it as you may, the echoes of the
war still remain, and it becomes more
and more apparent that those who
brought us into it and those VITO sought
in it a means for the advancement of
their own selfish interests under the
guise of patriotism, are bound to receive
The disillusion1nent of their lives.
So il is high time that in this city it
should be reco snized that the common
people, who plod along and contribute
smally but surely to the stability of the
city, should be properly represented.
Eckstein and Vogel were recoe nized as
the standard bearers of this class, and
their election by such a decisive margin
is good omen for the future of the city.
Hess May Resign.
A rumor has it that Mr.. Hess shortly
will resign his position as School Super
intendent. The truth Of this report could
not be substantiated, the general feeling
however seems to be that this would be
tie best solution of a well-nigi. unbear-
able situation.
Tie first meeting Of the me-; school
board will be held Monday, August 4th.
Miss Elsie Radtka returned from
Walnut Grove last week where she had
spent the past months visiting at the
homes of relatives.

DISCOVERS CAUSE OF
 SERIOUS CORN DISEASE

Fayetteville, Sept. 1O.-The cause of root-rot which has done consider able damage throughout the corn belt and the South, costing millions every year, has finally been discov- cried by H. R. Rosen, plant patho- logist with the University of Ark ansas Experiment Station. Although the disease has been known since 1889 it has baffled the efforts of pathologists throughout the country and little was known about it until MT. Rosen took up the problem, the results of which are printed in Ark ansas Bulletin No 1892 Mir Rosen says that the disease is bacterial root-rot and manifests itself in the roots and in the portion of the stalk to which they are attached. Farm CTS who have root-rot on their places should get in touch with MT. Rosen, who will make a special effort to have the disease stamped out of the state
