Manager McGovern, of the Mill and
rendered his resignation some time
ago, but that it has not yet been act
ed on. 1t appears that the duties of
the position have been performed of
late by Mr.. Anderson, secretary of the
industrial commission. Mr.. McGovern
says that he assume hat MIR. Ander-
son, in. addition to being q lawyer, is
also 4 practical mill and elevator
man, the commission having entrust-
ed him with the work associated with
that Office.
1t does not follow, not at all. 1t is
nc more. necessary for the manager
Of the mill and elevator business TO
be experienced in that business than
it is for the manager of a bank TO
understand banking, or for the man
ager Of an insurance business to be
c6nversant with hat particular line.
There are people, it is true, who
entertain the antiquated notion that
Tor the handling Of a business of con-
64ueE dUie Size SUITE pIdCllCdl eApeT4-
tncc in that particular business is al
most essential But we have changed
all that. According to the very latest
in political economy there is no rea-
son why a blacksmith should not ham
die workmen's compensation. or why,
as inethe present case, a lawyer should
not manage a vast and complicated
mill and elevator business.
Mr.. Townley has given Us a great
deal OF light on these matters. He
is neither farmer, banker nor fin
;.ncier. But he has given barrels OF
advice about the conduct of all these
activities. And the heads of our ad-
m~inistration. taking their cue from
him, have determined that all hat is
necessary t fit a man for n job
whatever is that he shall be a loyal
supporter of the administration who
will do as he is told without question,
Experience is not necessary, Mr.,
McGovetn, not at all.

THE COURSE.

There Is now before the state lee6-
lature a bill providing for the teach
ing Of thrift in the public schools of
the state. Presumably the bill is the
outgrowth Of the observance Of thrift
week, which has undoubtedly done a
great deal toward focusing attention
on this important subject.
The purpose Of the bill is excellent.
Thrift is essential, to our material
prosperity and to the formation of
strong character. The child should
be surrounded during his impression
able years by influences which will
aid in tn proper development Of his
work in this direction "a be done
during school years, and, to a very
large extent, as a part Of the actual
work Of the school.
But if it is necessary that all the
good things that should be taught in
the schools shall be specified by stat
ute, there must be something decided
ly wrong with our system.
One part of the mission Of the
school is to place the child in pos
session of certain elementary facts
and to train him in the use of his in
telligence in the acquisition Of other
facts and in giving to each its proper
weight. Another part of the schools
function is to aid in the development
of character along lines which will
be conducive to the happiness of the
individual and beneficial to society.
Within certain limits we may teach
facts. We may teach certain facts
about thrift, and temperance, and
modesty, and kindness and polite
ness and generosity. But we cannot
teach those qualities themselves.
Those, and other qualities which go
to form character grow. Their
growth can be aided and stimulated
by the work of a wise and sympa-
thetic teacher, but it is not likely to
be aided greatly by, statutory require
ments that this or that virtue shall be
taught" in the schools.
The teacher who is equipped for
the work Of training the child in the
essentials Of good citizenship needs
no statutory enactments on the sub.
ject. The teacher who needs either
legal restraint or legal stimulus in
this field is incapable Of doing eff.
fective work nc matter what laws are
enacted.
For the orderly conduct of the
schools a certain uniformity in the
general features of the course of study
is necessary. But not course of study
cans be so poorly arranged that the
competent and devoted teacher VIII
not be able to show good results, anc
no course can be so carefully worked
out that the unfit teacher will no
make a failure.
School work is not q matter O.
statute. 1t requires the conservation
Of the state to the highest ideals il
education, and when that condition
is met, we shall have q course o
study which will serve as a guild,
rather than a strait jacket, and
corps of teachers who Will not nee,
to be directed by statute to do thos
things which must be a matter o
inspiration and atmosphere rathe

laws.
"The other class OF laws with

auently concerned, and which you
must likewise obey, are those for
levying and collecting taxes. Taxes
are burdens or charges imposed
upon individuals or their property
for the supply OF the public treas
ury. To Justify any exercise OF the
power OF taxation by the government
the expenditure which It is intended
to meet must he for some public use,
or some object which concerns the
public welfare. The principle is
fundamental in this country and un-
derlies all government that is based
upon reason and the consent OF the
governed. rather than upon force.
In the lands from which some OF you
came, however, property has been
taken under the guise of taxation
from the subject by force and with
out his consent. not in return for
something received by the taxpayer,

rectly upon favored individuals.
Under such circumstances the
tax collector was in your eye ty-

OF taxes a thing to be resisted by

remedy for an abuse of the power OF
taxation is not force. but the ballot.
The thing TO be aimed at in land
OF liberty Is by no means the total
abolition of taxes. That would draw
after 1t very pernicious circum-
stances; its very supposition is the
height OF political absurdity.
The underlying idea of repre-
sentative form of government is
that few men shall be deputed by
the citizenry to preside over and
conduct the public affairs. hence It
is necessary that the citizens should
contribute portion OF their private
gains, in order to support that gov
ernment and reward that magistracy
which protects them in the enjoy
ment Of their respective lives, liber-
ties and properties. Consequently,
rather than the total abolition OF
