Renewed warnings to parents in all parts of the state are being given by the state labor department. Because of the present peculiar coundition of affairs in Minneapolis, there probably is more pitfalls in the Minnesota metropolis than any of the other larger cities. On one day of this week the judge of the munici- pal court at Minneapolis had before him no less than thirteen girls, con- nected in one way or another with “white slave” charges. The ages of these gitls range from twelve to fif- teen years. In the group was a girl from Northern Minnesota, while a man from this part of the state also was mixed in one of the affairs. This is a matter which should not be passed lightly over by parents. If their children must go to the big towns, proper precautions to pre- vent them from falling into the nets of that class of creatures who glory in depravity, with innocent children as there most cherished victims. GOVERNOR'S FRANKNESS WINS. For thirty-six hours, following the appointment of Judge Bunn of the Ramsey county district bench to succeed the late Justice Jaggard on the supreme court and the naming of Fred N. Dickson, the St. Paul attorney to succeed Judge Bunn, Governor Eberhart was before the t public in an unfavorable light, Charges were made that the chief executive had broken faith with the Ramsey county Bar Association; that he had named Mr. Dickson when, it was said, he had promised the association that he would bow to its wishes regarding the appoint- ment. When these charges of broken faith became public the governor was in Chicago. Immediaaely upon his return to St. Paul the governor gave the public as frank and praisee|- worthy a statement of fact concern- ing the appointment as his most ardent admirer could wish. “I want it distinctly understood,” said the chief executive, “that poli- tics played no part in this appoint- ment. I did make it known that I should appoint a Ramsey man to succeed Judge Bunn and I did say I should be largely guided by the Ramsey county Bar Associatinn, and I was. Mr. Dickson was in- dorsed by an overwhelming majority of the Bar Association,” GOOOOOVOOGOOOEOOOBOS Thus those who attempted to’ friction between the Bar association and the governor, are forced to un- gracefully retire while the governor wins renewed praise from his admir- ing subjects. ‘The North,” which« feels' close to the heart of the governor,. views the success of the chief executive in his little skirmish- with the attorneys, with a sense satisfaction, believing the governor to have been wholly. in the right. SWINDLING SCHOOL BOARDS. 1 For quite a time schools boards of the country districts have been preyed upon by unscrupulous persons who, by unfair-and often - unlawful means, have succeeded in unloading expensive, pendable - articles - of school: room equipment. | At the present moment a . number of school districts in Ottertail county are preparing to resist payment of notes given during the past few| months for sets of maps that have been sold to them by agents. Some- thing like sixty districts-bought ' the maps, the school . officers signing. what they presumed was an order| for thembut which turns to have been a note for $47.50, the price| tasked for the set of maps. These notes are now in the hands| of a Long Prairie bank and a Long Prairie loan company, and these may | or may not be able to collect lhem§ {on the grounds that there were ino-i cent purchasers. The school districts are preparing |to resist payment on the ground! 1thzt the agents who scld the maps| ‘are alleged to have represented that| | they were recommeded by the coun‘yi ‘superintendent, and that unless ‘schools were equipped with them i they would be unable to secure state jaid. It is claimed that all these; | representations were false and | fraudulent and the districts do not| | propose to pay. The unpleasant crisis in O:tertail stands-as a good warning to school| officers in other parts of the state. Members of school are fast learning| that it is dangerous to,take the oral| word of an agent who attempts to| bring recommendations for purchasesl from the couaty superintendent or| from other members of the board. The county superintendent does not usually care to have a man who has something to sell going abnut ;the country using his office as a | presitge with which to make sales. |1f the county superintendent has |any recommendations to make he ‘usually makes them in a proper way, either in person or by writing. It is to be hoped that the school officers of Ottertail will win out in their determination to resist the corniving confident men, if confident men they are proven to be. | WEALTHY MAN IS MISSING Relatives Fear New Yorker Has Met With.
