New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1897-04-14

West Superior has freak. He is a
preacher, Starkweather by name, and he
is also mayor of tie city. Some years
ago he held the same office and was i'm
peached. partly through the influence of
Alderman Atkinson, who is son-in-
law of John G. Rudolph of this city.
This spring he sought vindication at
the hands of all of the party conventions,
but by each of them in turn he was
coldly turned down. Then he ran inde-
pendeRtly of party prestige and made
one of the queerest campaigns of his
tory. No person could be found who
would go on the stump for him and he
conducted the campaign single-handed
and alone, making some OF the most
unique speeches ever uttered by candi-
date for Office. He admitted that he was
guilty of the charges preferred against
him and for which he was impeached-
that of extorting money from the police
and fire department employees and from
the sporting fraternity with which to
pay his campaign expenses--bu avowed
that others were more guilty than he.
He quoted scripture SC freely that he
was accused of being sacrilegious and
after each meeting he distributed little
bags of candy among his hearers, with
the remark that he was minister of
good and believed in distributing the
sweets rather than the sorrows Of life.
These peculiar tactics and his earnest
plea for vindlcation won the masses Of
the people and he was easily elected.
The people of Superior are at loss to
know exactly how it happened.

Just at this time it might not be out
of place to say that the Turnvereln is
one of the few societies in this country
that have had the courage to denounce
the A. P. A. as an un-Amer1can institu-
ton. Again, it might be said that the
Turnverein is one of the few societies
that demands that the members be Amer
can citizens.

DR.. Lyman Abbott said IN an address
at Phil adelphia the other night: I do
not believe the miracle of Jonah and the
whale. The people of Nlnevah had only
Jonah's word for 1t, and Jonah may not
have told the truth about the matter.
Here is some good, sound talk from
the Philadelphia Ledger on the subject
of equality: ''It is not true that every
boy may be president or statesman, or
artist or author, or whatever he will, e.
ven if he strive for it, nor is it a whole
some Idea for him to 1mbibe. But what
is both true and necessary to impress on
the young mind is that everyone can do
something excellently well, and that to
find that out and to apply his energies
to it is to attain his very best possible
ties. No employment can dignity man
who is not suited to it, but everyone who
finds and follows his own proper calling
dignities it, whatever it may be, and at.
tains the maximum of his value. Moth
ing Injuries the idea of true equality

Boston Budget: A strange story is
related of juryman who outwitted a
judge, and that without lying. He ran
into court in desperate hurry and quite
out of breath, and exclaimed:
ooh, judge, if you can, pray excuse
me! 1 don't know which will die first,
my wife or my daughter"
"Dear me. that's sad," said the inno-
cent judge. "Certainly, you are ex-
cused."
The next day the juryman was met
by a friend, who in sympathetic voice,
asked:
slows your wife7''
'.She's all right, thank you.''
'sAnd your daughter?"
'.She's all right, too. Why do you
ask?''
"Why, yesterday you said you did not
know which would die frst.''
.'Nor do I. That is q problem which.
time alone can solve. 2 ss
