Cleveland Symphonic Quartet Said
to Be Splendid Organization
Reserve Seat Instructions

The University of Minnesota
has secured the services of the
Cleveland Symphonic Quartet to
fill the dates of the Howard Quin-
tet which were cancelled due to the
serious illness of Mr.. Howard. ALL
though the Cleveland Symphonic
Quartet is a more expensive num-
Der, local lyceum patrons may en-
joy their music without additional
cost, the Extension Division MAX
ing up the difference in expense.
The Cleveland organization
forms a delightful instrumental
combination of violin, flute, cello
and harp. Their music is spark
ling and brilliant, with soaring
melodies of the masters of the
ages. The violinist is Vern J..
Stuk who may be justly considered
the American violinist. He played
as soloist with the famous Cleve-
land Symphony Orchestra. Mr..
William Moran is an accomplished
Cleveland 1utist, having studied
under some of the best masters.
Elizabeth Hughes, cellist, received
her musical education at the Roy
al Academy of Music in London,
England, and toured the continent
in concert work before coming to
this country Miss Thelma Bever-
ly Lewis is harpist of perfect
technic and unusual dramatic ex-
preston. The f1utist, violinist and
harpist all had connection with the
great Cleveland Symphony Orches-
ira. They will play the kind of
music you will love to hear.
Tickets reserved for the pre-
viously cancelled date will be
honored at the program Thursday
up to S:15' P. M. only. No re-
served seats will be held later than
8:15, the time the program is
scheduled to begin. No additional
reserved seats will be placed on
sale, general admission tickets only
will be available at the door the;
evening of the entertainment.
Thursday, Jan. 18th. Doors will

Owner Must Report All
Junked or Stolen Cars
Cars Removed From State Also
Covered by Law-Neglect
Means Trouble for Owner

Owners of automobiles that
have been dismantled, destroyed,
stolen or sold out of the state,
will save a lot of trouble for
themselves, for the county clerk of
State and for the county cerk of
court and sheriff, if they will re-
port this fact to the Secretary of
State at once.
The state law requires that
when a person disposes of a car,
notice of the date and manner of
termination of ownership shall be
given to the Secretary of State
forthwith. But to those who
neglected or did not know of this
provision, the safest advice is "The
sooner the better Blanks are
furnished for this purpose.

SAUK CENTRE FOLKS
READ HERALD

A newspaper can go along
weeks at a time carrying crack
ing good news stories each week
and nothing is said to the edit
or about it. But-let a little
mental lapse slip in, well that's
different again.
Last week in writing up the
meeting of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety of the Methodist church
the item concluded with ''lunch,
followed by cards" The Her.
aid editor only is to blame for
the unintentional, error as we
were fully aware that the Meth
odists do not sanction card play
ing in their church. The error
is regretted. From the jangling
of the office phone it was ap-
parent that every person in
Sank Centre discovered the mis-
take before supper time Thurs
day evening. ...
This experience has convinc-
ed the publishers that Sank
Centre folks read the Herald
very closely, which is as it
should be.

Makes Blunt Demand that
Appropriations Be Kept
Within $40,000,OO0
HE SUBMITS FIGURES
Requests for School Funds
Censured-Not a Foe
of Education

St. Paul, Dec. 5-Inaugurated
with brief ceremonies for his
second two-year term as chief eX-
ecutive of Minnesota, Governor
Theodore Christensen went be-
fore the Forty-ffth Minnesota leg
islature today with a blunt de-
mand that appropriations for the
coming biennium be limited to
$4O,OOO,00O.
The senate and house convened
separately, then adjourned to meet
in joint session and hear the bien-
NAL message of the governor.
Declaring that the legislature
has almost unprecedented oppor-
tunity to serve the state, Governor
Christensen called upon the SEN
ators and Representatives to lift
zone burden from which the farm
ers are suffering" for which state
governments have some response
bility, the burden of taxation. !
at may be difficult, even i'm
possible, greatly to reduce the
burden, but l should be remiss in
my duty to the people of the state
if / did not call attention to the
problem which it presents and
urge upon you serious considera-
tion of the consequences that
would follow from any measure
which would increase still further
the farmers contribution to the
support of county, educational
and state activities.
'tConsider what he contributes
at the present time toward the
support of education, and let US
try to determine therefrom wheth-
er there is justification for pro-
posed increases.
Then the governor cited spe-
cific instances in which the farm
ers of the state paid state aid and
university support taxes amount
ing to more than they paid for To-
cal school support. Figures were
drawn from Fillmore, Lincoln,
Stearns, Wilkin, Kittson, Dodge,
Brown, Carver, Chisago, Sibley,
Wadena, Norman, Pope and Clay
counties. ...
81 would not curtail any proper
educational activity" the governor
stated, "for I know that the fu-
ture of my country and yours de-
ponds on the maintenance of a
high order of intelligence in those
who shall make the decisions for
the state and the nation in the
years that are to come. But on
the other hand, / would not coun-
tenance extravaganza in any edu-
cational activity. should not
be. true to my duty if / did not
say that teachers, not buildings,
make a school.
'I leave with you the question
whether we have not too often and
too long bent knees before the
false gods of clay and stone and
other material things, and wheth-
er we should not take steps to in
sure that money voted for men
should not be used for land and
structures. ;"
There was no doubt in the
minds of the governors listeners
that he was referring directly to
the University of Minnesota's
board of regents request for an
increased appropriation.

mans wife I give him 90 days, but if
he beats his own wife, there may be ex-
tenuating circumstances"
Ran Court TO Suit Him
He proved in his court that many
cases of wife-beating ended by the wife
coming to him to have sentence sus-
pended and declaring that she herself
was TO blame.
When one lawyer objected to a writ
OF review being used in a police court
the general burst out: "All papers are
good in my court. This is q court Of
primary and r~udimentary Jurisprudence
and If I don't like what's in the paper
l will sustain a motion to quash." Cues
tionable procedure, perhaps, but fair
enough logic.
One of his decisions went the rounds
Of the press In the United States. 1t oc-
Cured in the case of a group Of neigh
bors who complained that the dogs of
William Pasco kept them awake at night
bowling at the moon. There was some
merit in the complaint because Pasco,
an aged pioneer recluse, kept a dog hos
pltal which doubtless constituted q
nuisance. But Warren could not find
1t in his heart to decide against his old
friend, Billie Pasco. In dismissing Pasco
he said: "A dog has very few pleasures
in life; barking at the moon is one Of
them M has been a time honored privi-
lege of a dog since the days of julius
Caesar. The court finds that q dog has
a right to bark at the moo The case
against the defendant is dismissed"
Copied from San Francisco to Port
land, Maine, this story lived long in the
grape vine telegraph. A year or SO ago,
1T appeared in the Memphis Scimitar,
which claimed that Warren was asso-
ciate justice OF the supreme court of the
state of Montana.

the foregoing threat was put into effect.
A chief, we are told, ate the heart Of
one of Clusters Officers, not because the
Indian was a cannibal, blu on account
OF the belief That in this manner he
could acquire the bravery Of his enemy.
We should never loose sight of the
fact that our government was not pri-
marily to blame for It's failure to keep
faith with the Indians. Being of and
by the people" 1t was helpless when its
ruler opposed it's policy. The white race
wanted this land and took 1t. The out
look was gloomy for the little clusters
of miners, separated by long distances,
and not prepared to wage war against the
Indians, and at the same time force the
earth to deliver its golden treasures.
Nor was this the worst. Emigrants, men,
women n children, were on their way
to the new Ell Dorado. The Indians had
likewise stipulated that no roads were
to be constructed through their terri
tory. Yet the government was dispatch
ing troops in order to make it possible
that this demand might be broken. Sol
diers could not escort every train or
make the road safe for travellers. They
had difficulty in protecting themselves,
as witness the Fetterman massacre. Yet
how were all the cities, so called, to be-
come real cities unless they had more
c%itizens? There were not commercial
CLUBS IN tnOSe Gays TO aid in this diem
ma. Trouble with Indians was imminent,
and it behooved the miners to keep their
guns in good condition.
Post Encouraged Poetry
Besides items and letters like those
quoted, the Post encouraged poetry. Al
most every number gave most, or all Of
a column to 1T. And it was good poetry
10 free verse. There appeared Poe's
Raven" THE Song of the Shirt and
other poems equally we'll known. Nat
Stein, the genial express agent who, to-
gether with his twin brother Aaron, will
be remembered by old timers, occa-
sionally sent in a rhyming CONTRIBUTION.
1t was ais translation which first brought
Der Yacht am Rhein" to my notice.
Yes, he miners of 1864 would read
poetry, and some Of them liked 1t.
They were a queer lot, those miners,
always ready for a fight. could drink,
swear, and carry on generally, but they
had a keen sense Of justice, were gen.
erous II the occasion demanded 1t, and
soft hearted.
The Posts advertising columns began
to show familiar names. There we see
the law firms mentioned OF VIM. Chu-
masero, sanders d. Cook, w. Y. pember-
ton and others. There were business
firms, also, like Vance e. Stuart, the
Express Company, etc. They did not take
up much space. for they were few IN
number. these advertisements, and even
at high prices would not keep a paper
long from becoming bankrupt at the
present time.
