Harriet Beecher Stowe’s story of how poor Uncle Tom was mauled by his owner capses shudders, whether read from the book or seen upon the stage. g And Uncle Tom was but a charac- ter of fiction, and a colored charac- ter in more ways than one. Yet the spectacle of young white girls—homeless, friendless, mother- less—being beaten by employes of the state of Minnesota; and boys, who had never known a kind word and to whom a father’s counsel was a myth, strapped over a flogging con- trivance and beat by burly brutes in an institution of which Frank A. Whittier is at the head, brings about the cry of “politics” and such things as this from the Stillwater Daily Ga- zette: Red Wing people are standing firmly by Supt. Whittier of the training school, which is a pret- ty good endorsement. ‘When home people stand by their own people it shows a proper spirit. The Gazette probably jumped at conclusions when it said the people of Red Wing are standing behind Whittier. It is true that the Red Wing Daily Republican is standing behind Whittier because the club ‘women are opposed to Whittier and it there is anything on earth the Red Wing Republican thoroughly hates it is a club woman and it does this because the club women of the state forced the legislature to create a separate school for girls, The Red Wing Free Press frank- ly admits that if Whittier is guilty he should be dismissed and there are a good many other residents of that city who are equally as libetal mind- ed, the Daily Republican to the con- trary notwithstanding. When A. D. Stephens of Crookston first made his charges that whip- pings were being administered at the Red Wing school a great howl of denial went up from Whittler and his friends. Now Mr. Whittler admits the ex- istence of a contrivance over which boys given to him for protection and training were bound and flogged, No one denies that girls were beat- en with rubber hose and straps. It can not be denied that boys were knocked down by attendants, It is an established fact that in. mates of the school have been at- tacked and in at least one instance a youth’s teeth knocked out, and this boy happened to be from Bemidji. behind the man who is to blame for this and they are “showing the prop- er spirit” The condemnation of a committee of honorable members of the Minne- sota legislature made up of Repub- licans and Democrats who went after the facts and got them and brought in a verdict of guilty, doesn’t mat- ter 5o long as Red Wing thinks Whit- tier is a jolly good fellow. There is no significance in the fact that Senator Rockne in whose county the Red Wing-school is located, was the only active member of the com- mitteee who fought to save Whittier to the state. There is no significance in the brazen attitude of R. C. Dunn of Princeton, the only member of the committee who refused to attend any of its hearings and then got up on the floor of the house and with the same assidious disregard for decency and facts which kept him from being governor of Minnesota had the nerve that only Bob Dunn could have, to plead in tones of thunder for Mr. Whittier. And neither Rockne mnor Dunn dared to say that the charges made by Stephens had not been substan- tiated. REMEMBERING THE EDITOR. You all have heard how things as cordwood, pumpkins, pota- toes, butter, eggs and other delicacies of the season have been given the such country editor by way -of apprecia- tion of his efforts to enlighten the community, but it remained for the Commercial club of Willmar to hand an editor in that town a lemon. Here it is: “Whereas, the Willmar Journal has indulged in continuous assaults upon the good name and fame of our fair city, and upon the character, record and efficiency of our city and county officials—these baseless and purpose- less outpourings having gone so far as to openly and shamelessly applaud the criminals who recently tried to murder the sheriff of our county; and, “Whereas, the editor of said sheet has been horse-whipped by the wom- en, and summarily driven from the towns which he has infested in form- er years; and, “Whereas, the editor of said sheet can have no cause or motive for his slanderous attacks except the hope of obtaining for himself a little cheap notoriety; and as the people of this community are only human, and as we do not want here a repetition of the acts of violence which- other towns had to resort to in order to rid themselves of this unspeakable nui- sance; therefore be it “Resolved, by this Commercial Club, composed of 100 business and professional men of Willmar, that ‘we most emphatically condemn the spirit and conduct of said editor, C. F. Spencer, and request him imme- diately to leave this community which he has so long striven to be- smirch with his false, perverted and prejudiced publications; and be it further “Resolved, that we request our other newspapers of city and county, as well as outside papers which, un- der misapprehension, have been led to reprint his defamatory articles, to publish these resolutions.” There is something about these res- olutions which may not sound just right to Editor Spencer and one could hardly blame him were he to pack his grip and tell Willmar and her Commercial club to go jump into the river. NEWS FORECAST FOR THE COMING WEEK. President Taft is scheduled to go to Ocean Grove, N. J., Tuesday to address the Methodist camp meeting there and later in the week he ex- pects to go to Beverly to begin his belated summer vacation.
