Often he| came in on a night train and was the guest of friends rather than the hotels. Had he informed the Pio- neer of his visit at any time his coming would certainly have been chronicled. And this is but one instance of the difficulty of getting the news, par- ticularly items of personal interest, always dear to the paper—and the public.

Herald: The Herald forgot to men- tion in its last week’s issue that John Tuft,.of the town of Holst, delivered the 24 chickens he had sold to Mr. Swanson, but what ‘was Mr. S.’s surprise, upon open- ing the box which contained the | chickens, to find two dead ones | among the rest; and judging from their appearance these two chickens had parted with this life about a month ago or more. Mr. S. says the only way he ac- counts for this, is the fact that Mr. Tuft being an honest farm- er (?) wanted to consumate his | contract according to agreement and having only 22 chickens, he hunted up two dead ones and threw them into the box, making the full quota. Moral: Always examine before you buy, or in other words, look before you leap. How the Herald could forget to mention this is the thing which puzzles us most.

GOODBYE, WHITTIER. Frank A. Whittier, the gentleman whose keen intellect and fatherly disposition lead him to invent a con- which bare-backed boys were pinioned so as to be in a more convenient position for ging, still hangs on to his position trivance over as superintendent of the Red \vmg‘ training school. But May is moving month and if Governor Eberhart has anything to say about it, Mr. Whittier will be one of the movers. Ever since the legislative investi- | gation brought out the fact that| | boys were being unmercifully whip- | . ped for trivial offenses at the Red | Wing school, the governor has had| hard work controlling a feeling of disgust and indignation that such things are possible under state pro- tection. And there are others who are aroused by the same feeling. Not alone the mothers and fathers of growing boys but almost every one else who has any red blood or human kindness in their veins. And so the climax of patience has been reached. The public desires and the governor insists that there be @ prompt change in the management of the Red Wing school. At an all day conference on Sunday, Superin- tendent Whittier, represented by a Red Wing attorney, refused to hear Governor Eberhart’s gentle hint that he resign his Red Wing post. Those who know the governor are satisfied that the time he speaks, which be soon, Mr. Whittier will be told in no uncertain language that nis services are no longer needed. It would seem that if Mr. Whittier really had the good of the school at heart, he would make way without further trouble for a new man. Ob- viously, things can not continue in next must the present state of demornllzatiol\‘ and that demoralization wil! grow as the wrath of the people becomes more and more pronounced. That the school has not been con- ducted along humanatarian lines; that unbelievable outrages have been practiced has been so well establish- ed that only those who are wilfully blind for political or personal reas- ons refuse to see anything wrong with the school. When the care of | p | young humans is an issue, politics| should be as far away as the stars above the earth. Here is the confession made by Senator J. D. Sullivan, the St. Cloud vestigating committee, had charge of examining the witnesses: “I freely and frankly admit that when this investigation first began I i felt there was something behind it that wasn’t just right, and I was pre- judiced in favor of Mr Whittier. Now I am just as frank to say that I believe a great service has been done the state by the investigation for I believe that reforms will result. The man whose brain could conceive such a whipping apparatus as the one provided by Mr. Whittier is un- worthy of the position as superin- tendent of a retorm Institution.” These were the words of a demo- cratic, prejudiced senator on the floor of the senate. And yet Mr. Whittier hangs on with both teeth and toe nails and the Board of Control, which must share-in Whittier's shame, remains, (io all appearances, as inactive as a er. v Jeliyfish. flog- ‘ P00 00000006066 @ NEW LAWS OF 1911, @ 2000000000060 66 - Illegal to Drink on Trains.

Doth Job fear God for naught?" Franklin makes this, “Does your majesty imagine that Job’s good conduct is the effect of mere per- sonal attachment and affection ?” 1 well remember how, when I first read that, 1 drew a deep breath of re- llef and- said to myself, “After -all, there is a stretch of humanity beyond Franklin's victorious good sense.— Matthew ‘Arnold’s *Culture and An- archy.” An_ Awful Experience.
