LET THE PEOPLE HAVE A VOICE.

The idea of nominating u. s..
senator at the next Republican state
convention, is receiving some support.
-Ps1le County Courier.
If the state convention should so
far exceed its right, there is no reason
why anyone elected to the legislature
should consider such action binding
upon him.-Alerandria Post Neaos.
And why have not the people the
right to indicate their choice for
United States senator, please? And
where is there a better place than
right in state convention with their
representatives fresh from their COM
mands? And then having named
their choice they can 60 to work on
an intelligent basis and elect legis-
lature that will ratify their choice.
Possibly in the minds of those who
do not want the people to NEEDLE
with political matters too freely there
may be no reason why, after con-
vention may have named a choice for
senator, a legislator should consider
such action binding upon him, but let
him so consider it, and we will wager
our bottom. dollar that he will take a
good long vacation from public life.
Let the people express themselves in
convention who they want for United
States senator.

THE TARIFF.

The tariff bill seems to be rapidly
approaching completion and it is now
thought that it will reach a vote in
the senate on the Both inst The free
list has been passed upon and ap-
proved, and yesterday the wool
schedule was taken up and it seems
that the supposed agreement as to
the schedule did not exist, and a
break occurred. What will be the
final result of this break is hard to
say. The motion to reduce the rate
on frst-class wood from II to 10 cents
carried by a vote of IS to 10, and
caused something of sensation. The
western senators are greatly interest
ed in sthe wool tariff, and just what
will be their attitude toward the bill
should the rate right through be re-
duced as indicated is somewhat prob
lematical. 1t might cause some of
them to decline to vote for the bill,
though it would not seem that they
would endanger it's passage even
though the wool schedule is not Just
to their liking, as it will be SO much
better then at present.
AS yet there has been no sutstan-
tial movement in the senate toward a
reciprocity clause. The bill ought not
to be allowed to become a law with
out such clause carefully framed so
as to meet the requirements of the
occasion. The house clause in the
bill has not proved satisfactory and
was dropped by the senate, but as yet
nothing has been passed upon nor
agreed to by the Republican senators
to take it's place. Senator Burroughs
has proposed clause that is said to
resemble more closely the idea that
James G.. Blaine had of reciprocity,
than anything that has yet been
brought forth This clause provides
that a surcharge of 25 per bent upon
the prescribed duties shall be levied
upon sugar, molasses, tobacco, coffee,
tea and hides, raw or uncured, the
product of or exported from countries
which impose duties or any exaction
on the agricultural or other products
Of the United States, which ARE reci-
procally.uneQual. Power is given the
president to levy this surcharge or re-
move it as demanded. The house will
doubtless insist upon same reciprocity
feature, and it would seem that the
clause proposed by Senator Borroughs
would be good one.

NOTHING testifies more clearly to
the superiority of American bicycles,
says the New York Mail and Express,
than the rapidly increasing exports of
the vehicles to foreign countries. The
value of-bicycles sent abroad during
the month of April, this year, amount
ed to 81, III, 1924 as against S330,990 for
the corresponding month in 1896. The
increase is still further shown by the
fact that the shipments for the ten
months ending with April, this year,
aggregated SIS, 2s3, 5o4, as against ST..
DOL ,347 for the corresponding period of
the year preceding. These figures
prove that our bicycles are steadily
advancing in favor in other countries,
and the record is one that pays high
tribute to the excellence of American
models and construction.

PRESENTED HIS PETITION.

Rev. Daniel D. Reed, of Eagle
Lake, was among the numerous cal
lers from out of the city whom Con-
gresham McCleary received today.
He presented his petition to the
congressman, asking him to introduce
bill providing for the purchase by
the government of an air ship of his
design, at s1O,O 900, and subsequent air
ships at $4,000 each. He explain
ed his desires to Congressman
McCleary, and told of his confidence
in his machine. Mr.. McCleary said
that he did not think that Senator
Pettigrew's bill to appropriate $4,000
for machine to be built by another
man would pass, and assured Elder
Reed that he would see that he did
not get the worst of it when it came
to the government buying air ships.

A LIVELY CHASE.
Police Capture Two Horse Traders
Wednesday Afternoon.
One Had Assaulted VIM. e. Harlin
With a Whip.

At uabout 2:30 o'clock Wednesday
the police made lively and success
full chase, which attracted great
deal of attention. A few moments
before, VIM. Stubs, horse trader
and brother-in-law of Judd Butler,
who was taken to Iowa a short time
ago on suspicion OF having stolen a
team but subsequently released, en-
tered VIM. E. Harlin's blacksmith
shop and pillow works on Main street,
with his son, George, who recently
served a sentence in jail for assault
ing an old man. VIM. Stubs was
slightly intoxicated and was seen by
Mr.. Harlin to slip two bolts into his
pocket. When accused of the theft,
he admitted it and gave back the
bolts. Mr.. Harlin then forcibly ex-
PEELED him from the building, assist
ing him with his boot as he passed
out of the door. The boy thereupon
took heavy whip which he had and
struck Mr.. Harlin across the head
with the handle, knocking him down.
The two Stubbs started to drive
away in cart hitched to a dimin-
utive pony, when the police were call
ed for and Officers Thilger and
Daniels gave chase. The Stubbs
drove through several alleys and final
ly made up Agency Hill. Officer
Daniels jumped into buggy belong
ing to Martin Wiltgen, and having a
better horse overlook the horse
traders before they had gotten half
way up the hill and placed them under
arrest. Officer Thilger took the boy,
and both prisoners were locked in
the city hall. They are tough look
ing specimens.
The old man gave a song and
dance about having gotten the
bolts in Sleepy Eye, when
seen by FREE PRESS reporter,
but the boy admitted that his father
had slipped the bolts into his pocket
in the shop of Mr.. Harlin. The boy
said that when he saw his father
thrown out by Mr.. Harlin, he took
the whip and knocked Mr.. Harlin
down several times. He said that
they had gone to the shop to have
their horse fixed.

THE WORK OF DYNAMITE.
The Private Safe of the Late Jn0. F..
rleagher Blown Open.

Efforts were made during the fore
noon to open..the private safe of the late
Jno. f. Meagher, wherein were con-
fined his private papers. The cypher
key'to the combination was found but
it would not unlock the doors. Capt.
Andrews, who is an expert at safe
opening, was called to the National
Citizens bank, ut with all his
experience and dizziness at work
ing locks he could not get the COM
bination to work. He then drilled a
hole in the face of the door
this afternoon, near the lock,
and put in small amount of
dynamite, intending to jar the bolts
sufficiently to allow the combination
to perform it's functions. But when
the explosion occurred there was no
need for further expert work. One
of the doors was blown literally to
pieces and scattered spromiscously
about the room, knocking piece or
two off of chair and making couple
of strong indentures in the brick wall
on the opposite side of the room.
Fortunately all the lower windows
were raised and saved the SCATTERING
of the glass. The only injury to the
safe was the demOlishing of one OF
the outside doors, which was wrench
ed from the hinges and shattered into
pieces as completely as though it were
made of pine instead of steel.
The contents of the, safe had not
been examined as we 60 to press, and
therefore it is not known just what
Mr.. Meagher had locked therein. Mr..
John B. Meagher will go carefully
over the papers at his leisure. 1t is
not known whethersor not his father
eft will.

A SUDDEN SUMMONS.
rlrs. Leo S. Lamm Passes Away
After a Two Days Illness.
A Lady of Beautiful Character and
Loved By All.

The announcement Wednesday of
the rather sudden death of Mrs. Leo
S. Lamm, which occurred last night
at her home, 124 North Broad street,
has caused general sorrow in the city.
Mrs. Lamm was out and feeling we'll
last week, and attended church
Sunday. On Sunday night she was
taken sick. and became worse on
Monday. DR.. Andrews had charge of
the case, and did all possible to stay
| the progress of the disease, acute
peritonitis, but without success, for
the patient continued to sink. Mrs.
Lamm was very low yesterday, and
died at 11:15 o'clock last night, sur
rounded by the members of her
family. She was conscious to the
last, suffered very little pain the
last, day, and passed away as easily as
though she had fallen asleep. During
the evening she realized that the end
was near, yet was accomplishing and
gave some final instructions to her
husband in manner that indicated
that she was fully possessed of her
mental faculties.
Mrs. Tillie Lamm was the oldest
child of Mr.. and Mrs. John Klein.
She was born March 18th, 1864, at St.
Peter, and came with her parents to
Mankato in 1870, since which time
she had resided here. She was united
in marriage with Mr.. Lamm June 1st,
1886, and four boys were born to them,
Williams S., 'Alphonsias A., Vincent
S. and Gregory l., the oldest being
eight years old and the youngest four
weeks today. The deceased also
leaves three sisters and one brother,
Sister Baptista, of West Superior,
Wis, Miss Ida Klein, of Milwaukee,
Mrs. Frank j. Busch and Geo. j.
Klein, of this city. The absent sis
tiers have been telegraphed to and one
of them will probably come on to at.
tend the funeral.
The deceased was member of the
Woman's Sodality, of ST. Peter and
Paul's Catholic church, and also of St.
Elizabeth's Aid Society. She took an
active interest in these socities and
in all Christian and charitable work.
Her Observation-Disclosures was fire.
quently attested, and many a silent
tear will be dropped by those who
have experienced her generosity. The
Woman's Sodality will attend the
funeral in body and will also assist
in the services.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lamm were planning
to take trip with the children in
looked forward to this with much
pleasure.
Mrs. Lamm was beloved by all who
knew her for her numerous graces Of
character and her loving and helpful
spirit She was a dutiful daughter
and kind and thoughtful wife and
mother. The sympathy of all will be
extended to the bereaved husband
and the children who will no longer
know a mothers tenderness.
The funeral will occur Friday
morning at nine o'clock from ST..
Peter and Paul's Catholic church, and
the remains will be inferred in
Calvary cemetery.
