George Edgar Vincent had resigned as president of the state university. He has resigned to become eonnected with the Rockefeller foundation. The Rockefeller foundation is the gsant of all the organized charities of the world. Its source 1is the Standard Oil company. ‘We wonder why Dr. Vincent re- signed. He made no complaint, his expressions are felicitous but it be- hooves usd to ponder the matter a bit. Dr. Vincent has been called :lfie e United States. ‘Why did he resign? Was he allowed the due exercise of- his faculties and ambitions as an educator in Minnesota? We have seen how the university suffered at the last legiglature when appropria- tions for the university were slashed to the bone. The people of Minnesota have taken a great pride in their, univer- sity. It has attracted more stu- dents than any other institution of learning in the country with two or three exceptions. There must be a reason for it. There must be an ex- traordinary demand on the part of the public for the facilities which it providest and yet the cost per capita of school attendance is less in the University of Minnesota than the av- erage in state universities. The management of the affairs of the University of Minnesota is large- ly in the hands of a body of intelli- gent, capable, public spirited men who serve without pay for the pur- pose of promoting the interests of the university and the cause of higher education in the state. Yet at the last session of the leg- islature an item in the appropria- tions set apart for the salaries of the teaching staff was slashed. Salaried at the University of Min- nesota are low, and the continued slashing of salaries is costing the school the services of many of her best men. Competition in this re- spect is very keen. The big univer- sities of the country are continually looking for men of large caliber and high attainments. They have already taken many of the best men in the gervice of the state and we believe that the legis- lature is to a certain extent respon- sible for the loss of these men. It is well understood that no pro- fession is so poorly paid as that of the teacher, and if Minnesota is to be classed among those who appre- ciate least the value of superior tal- ents in this direction, we may have to be content wWith the services of men who are not in demand else- where. The resignation of President Vin- cent is a severe blow to the state. Why did he resigp‘? THE PAPER TRUST. Frank Day of the Fairmont Daily Sentinel has advanced an excellent idea for combating the paper trust. He proposes to have the state manu- facture paper. Ap editorial in which he explains his plan follows: “Ignatius Donnelly — bless his precious memory!—and the old Farmers’ Alliance conceived and car- ried out an enterprise to free the farmers from the exactions of the twine trust and at the same time pro- vide profitable employment for the inmates of the state prison. ' When it was first proposed to establish in the penitentiary a factory for the manu- facture of binding twine al] the cor- poration hirelings in the country reared upon their hind legs and shouted at the top of their voices, ‘unconstitutional,” ‘dangerous prece- dent,’” ‘socialism.’ “The farmer mémbers of the leg- islature and some others whom mod- esty forbids mentioning, set their teeth together and went ahead.. We all know the result. The thing has proved a success beyond the dreams of men who were dubbed ‘wild-eyed theorists,, and has meant a saving of millions of dollars to the husband- men of Minnesota and adjoining states. “Encouraged by the success of the twine industry, the state thought its able and corruptible board of control has undertaken the manufacture of certain farm machinery, and is mov- ing ahead smoothly, conservatively and ‘profitably, to the consternation of one of the most infamous com- bines that afflicts the country. The farmers, ‘the bone and sinew of the land,’ are already receiving benefits! in lower prices and improved goods and the enterpride is yet in its swad- dling clothes. “If Minnesota can manufacture twine and machinery, what is to pre- vent it from manufacturing paper? ““This paper puts the above ques- tion to the board of control, and with one accord the answer came: “Nothing whatever except the authority from the legislature and) the governor. “The proposition is entirely prac- ticable and simple. “Minnesota owns, of her own right, millions of acres of virgin which contain the raw material for all the paper used in Minnesota. In these forests are unharnessed water powers, enough to move the machin- ery of the largest plant in the state. “In the state reformatory are hun- K KKKKKKK KKK KKK ¥ SAUM WEEKLY NEWS ¥ KEHHKHHA KKK KKK KK The following pupils were present every'day during the past month: Jo- hanna Dolgaard, Doris Graham, EI- mer Dolgaard, Theresa Youngman, Harold Hankey, Isabel Hankey and Elmer Johnson, * The second and third grades will have a Thanksgiving program on Wednesday afternoon.

If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased. You may suffer a great deal with pain in the back, headache, loss of ambition, nervousness and may be de- spondent and irritable. Don’t delay starting treatment.
