* { | fr ye ¢ : oma is aft ONE GOOD AMENDMENT. When in doubt, vote ‘‘No.” This is always a good plan when voting on Proposed amendments to the state constitution. But there is one amend- ment proposed this fall which certain- ly should pass. It should commend itself to the common sense of the people, and it will if not overlooked. This is the amendment providing that county superintendents of schools roust have educational quali- fications. To elect any other thana school man as superintendent of schools is to waste money, but no small sum is wasted in this way in this state. No one would employ a carpenter to do the work of a plumber, nor a blacksmith to criticise the work of a dentist. Neither would a hospital get its superintendent from a depart- ment store. nora railroad employ a city street inspector to have charge of its shops. But Minnesota has not been so wise as this as to its schools, Any one who can get the votes can be superintend- ent of the schools of any county. And, strange to say, the folly and absurdity or employing a@ man to inspects schools and pass upot jheir efficiency who knows nothing of teaching as a vocation, never seems to materially affect the voter. The average men knows no more about courses of study, the methods of teaching, whether or not a teacher is properly presenting a subject; the qualifications of a teacher or any of the technical factors which are essen- tial to good schools, than he dves of navigating an océan steamship. Nor can Minnesota have a satisfac- tory grade of rural schools, qualifying the boys and girls of the country districts to go from them to the grade and high schools and hold their grades, unless there is competent county supervision. They cannot get the full value of their time in schools not properly graded and supervised. This amendment, therefore, should receive a unanimous vote. It 1s merely common sense business priao- ciples applied to the schools. It is to secure for the taxpayers the value of their money, and for the children the full value of their time and effort.— News Tribune. eISSN THE THIRD AMENDMENT. The Luverne Herald, edited by State Senator H. J. Miller, has the foliowisg pertinent editorial ment on a subject of much import- ance to every taxpayer: The third amendment is wholly vicious. The purpose of this amend- ment is to permit the state to pay for damages to growing crops by hail or| wind on land specifically taxed for the purpose. As a matter of fact the amendment is a provision to permit the state to engage in the insurance business. The Herald does not be- lieve that the state has any right to engage in the insurance business than it bas to engage in any other line of business, and if a start is once made there is no telling where it will end. The first duties of the state are governmental, and this should be its sole duties. But the mere engaging in lines of business is nct the worst feature. Under the proposed amend- ment it is designed that the adjust- ment of losses shall be left to the county commissioners and this opens the way to an endless system of graft. With the state paying the loses it will be perfectly natural for the com- missioners in adjusting loses to grant whatever claims the owner of the crops damaged asks. The money is to come from the state fund, thus eliminating complaint from home tax- payers, and if the commissioners wish they can establish a ‘‘gentlemen’s agreement” whereby they will receive a share of the insurance money if the loss is adjusted for a greater amount than suffered, or they can use the powers thus given them to make themselves ‘‘yood fellows” among the farmers. The scheme is bad from start to finish and the amendment should be defeated. Cows for Sale. Lack of feed compels me to ¢6ffer com- PLAYS BOTH SIDES. In some respects it is fortunate for the Democracts in state politics that they have no organ to advocate their policies and defend their candidates, according to Berryhill of the St. Paul Review. That duty is most admirably performed in its absence by the Dis- patch at home and the Journal at Minneapolis, both ostensibly Republi- can, but reputably Democratic. If they would both come out squarely and tell their readers to vote for John, they would merely do in the open what they contrive secretly. They have staff reporters traveling with Joho and Jake, and as the wind varies, so do their utterances. Long since have they given us reliable in- formation from which to cast the probable result. It is needless to say it pays them better to straddle. As a matter of fact, sheets of this sort manage to profit, whichever side is in power. Journalism of this day and date has become very different from that of the times of Thurlow Weed and Horace Greeley, who were en- gaged in furthering candidacies and policies they demed best for the body politic. Then a political utterance carried weight. Conditions have certainly changed, but human nature has remained the same and is io- capable of chauge. Ihe papers, how- ever, seem to have lost sight of the truth to reap the profits from adver- tising. DYNAMITING IN THE TWIN LAKES Two Fish Violators Plead Guilty to Having Transgressed the State Law. Game Warden Harryprocured jevid- eace against Lora Barr and Nick Louris, Romanians, for having dyoa- mited fish in Twin Lakes, which are located in township 56, range 24. ‘I'he strenuous fishing was done on October ll, and the men were arrested last Friday and brought to Grand Rapids. The accused secured the services of Attorney Greer of Coleraine to defend them, but when arraignment was made before Justsce Bailey the evid- ence of the state was so conclusion that a defense was considered useless. They pleaded guilty to the charge and each paid a fine of $35 and costs, making a total of $76.24. VILLAGE HALL Royal Neighbors, Dinner and Supper Election Day, November 3rd DINNER.

Asa result the gentle- man from Deer River is a full- fledge candidate as an independent Use for Logged-Off Land. At the meeting of the Washington Logged-Off Land Association, held Saturday of last week, at Seattle. a plan was considered for incorporating the association with a capital of a half a million dollars, says the Lum- berman. By incorporating, the as- sociation hopes to take up in a busi- ness way the work of demonstrating the possibilities of logged-off lands, procuring land clearing machinery and making chemical experiments to demonstrate the use of refuse logs and stumps. .

LABORERS ONLY CAN FILE LIENS Decision Rendered Last Week by Judge McClenahan is to that Effort. An interesting point of law has been decided by Judge McClenahao in the district court, who held that the only person who can claim a lien is a laborer. A man by the name of Woods took acedar contract from George Hard- ing of Deer River. There was some difficulty in the settlement after the contract had been fulfilled and Woods | cail. attached the material that he had gotten out. Woods had performed some manual labor and he claimed the right of lien. The lien costs were heavy and to avoid paying them Harding alleged that as contractor, Woods had not the right of lien. Before the 1905 revision a contract- or had the right offlien. The revised code provides for a lien to persons who perform labor or other personal services. The judge held that this provision barred Woods this right. District court has adjourned until Nov. 17 when the calendar will be taken up again. WOODSMAN ARE AFTER MORE COIN They do Not Like Wages Offered and Remain Idle in Hopes of Forcing Scale Up. The large lumber dealers of the west are having trouble in securing laborers to cut timber this winter. The employment agencies in Duluth are unanimous in the opinion that there is no occasion for the large number of idle men that are now io the city, says the News Tribune. The lumber companies have sent or- ders for double the number of men that are at present idle. The wages paid last season ran from $25 to $35 a]! month and board, but this year the]5,6 general scale offered is from $20 to $26 a month, with board. The lumberjacks are figuring that much of the lumber that was scorched in the recent big fires will have to be cut this winter to save it and that by holdiug out the same wages will be paid this season as last. The number of idle men was in- creased last week by several hundred and the trains yesterday brought in}? many more, and unless some move is|7 made soon the city will be crowded and a hard winter coming on will cause much suffering. The employment agencies have ad- vised the men that little railroad work will be done this winter and that they had better accept the present offers. A number of men heeded the warning and left the city last week but the large majority re- fuse to go out. Should the laborers decide to accept the scale of wages the city should be in excellent shape, as all other classes are employed. For Rent—One large neatly fur- nished room.
