The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1900-12-28

The Owatonna Journal does not like
the idea of the representatives of
either Minneapolis OF st. Paul meeting
and endorsing certain men for the
senate. and expect the rest of the state
to be satisfied with their action But
if the senator is to come from the
cities, or rather if man from either
of them aspires to the position, he
must have his county back Of him in
pretty solid shape or his aspirations
will amount to little. If the man is
to come from the Twin Cities he ought
to be one upon whom they can agree,
providing of course the rest of the
state considers that the choice is the
best one. The Free Press has never
looked with favor upon the claim that
the senatorship belongs to the cities
by right It has held and still holds
that the man who is big enough to
be senator, is big enough to look after
the interests of the whole state no
matter where he comes from but we
can see nothing in the cities making
a choice as to whom they will put for
ward for the position, and the fact
that they select good men is not deny
ing that there are not other equally
good men who are not mentioned.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1900-12-28

the ratio in legislative representation
is, of course, small. The Tribune
refrains from expressing an opinion
on the present problem confronting
congress at Washington but says that
it is doubtful if it is desirable to swell
our representation to the size. numeri-
cally, of those abroad. To enlarge the
house in proportion with the growth
of the nation, it holds, would be i'm
practicable, but does not say how
much larger it thinks the house might
be made, and not interfere with the
transaction of public business.
On the other hand the Chicago Inter
Ocean holds that there shuold be no
increase in the membership, but on the
contrary thinks it would be good
thing if the membership could be re-
duced, but as this is impracticable, it
thinks the Hopkins bill should be
adopted and a precedent established
against further increase. Continuing,
it says:
1.-The apportionment of 1888 gave the
house 240 members, and the careful
legislators of those days found that
number too large for good work. Sc
in 1913 the membership was reduced
to 223. 1t was then considered that
$50 was about the ideal number, and
for two decades the ratio was so adj
justed that that number was not ex-
ceeded. But in 1878 congress departed
from the rule, and added fifty mem
bers In 1883 thirty-two more were
added. 1t was this unwieldy mem
bership that caused the house to de-
cline as really deliberative body, and
made the Reed rule necessity for the
transaction of bus mess.
"In such a crowd genuine and in
forming debate is almost impossible, and
the measures passed are almost certain
to be wanted in procession. Such has
been the actual result. The house
bills, as rule, are crude, and have
to be hammered into shape by the
senate. This has deplorable effect
upon public sentiment, for it gives the
impression that the peoples direct
representatives do not really legislate. I"
The British plan, it says, whereby
about 100 members do the actual work
and some 500 members simply. vote is
not desirable here. This is true, but
it is what will come if the size of the
house is increased from decade to de-
cade as our population grows.

MANKATU FREE PRESS
LOOKS LIKE EVANS.

While it is yet too early to base a
safe prediction on the outcome of the
senatorial contest to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of Senator
Davis, daily developments point
strongly to Robert @. Evans as the
successful contestant. Almost daily
the names of prominent members of
the legislature are published declaring
for him, and now comes the entire
st. Louis county delegation who an
nounce that they have agreed to line
up for the Hennepin county candi-
date. If Congressman Tawney does not
come into the field it is confidently
believed that at least two-thirds OF the
first district members will be outspoken
supporters of Evans. There are some
very good reason to presume that Mr..
Tawney will not permit the use of his
name He made hard and winning
fight against a popular opponent, and
the prominence that he has gained in
the lower house of congress makes him
stronger figure in that body than he
could attain in the senate in years OF
service. The Free Press believes that
Mr.. Tawney, if he will look the situa-
ton over carefully before committing
| himself on the senatorial candidacy,
will find it to his own personal inter
est to keep out of the fight.
The opportunity, to our mind, has
passed when HenEepin or Ramsey can
elect man to the United States SEN
ate unless Evans or Clapp is chosen.
There will be no dark horse break in
from either of the Twin Cities. If
there is any lurking suspicion on the
part of any clique or coterie OF
anxious gentlemen that the supporters
behind these two pronounced candi-
dates are of that negatative character
which will jump to some other Twin
City candidate later on, they should at
once be undeceived. The senator to
succeed Davis, if he is to come from
the Twin Cities, will be either Robert
G. Evans or Moses E. Clapp. If
neither of these is chosen, then it will
be some gentleman from Southern
Minnesota.
The trend of public sentiment is I'M
questionably toward Evans. Many of
the best posted Republicans in Man
kato express the belief that Mr.. Evans
is the choice of two thirds of the Re
publicans of Blue Earth county, unless
it should develop that Congressman
McC leary become candidate. which
probability or possibility is too remote
to consider at this time.
Mr. Evans evidently has the call.

CHILD STEALING FOR RANSOM.

The action of that Omaha gang,
which successfully kidnapped the 10
year old son of Mr. Cudahy is one that
gives society chill The scheme
was bold one well carried out and
worked perfectly and quickly as it's
perpetrators doubtless had reason to
believe it would Kidnapping -four
ished in times gone by in the old
world, and is even yet an important
industry among the brigands of Italy
and Sicily, but it is to be hoped that
it will not become feature of our
civilization.
While Mr.. Cudahy hesitated slightly
between civic duty and parental love,
he did what any other parent would
have done under the same circum
stances, put up the cash and obtained
the return of his child. This having
been done, there is another side that
must be taken into consideration, and
that-Mr. Cudahy seems to have acted
veryq uickly upon, for he at once offered
a reward of $50, 600 for the apprehension
of the Williams who did the work.
While this is sufficient sum to OBJ
tain good detective work on the case,
it is somewhat to be wondered at that
the sum offered by Mr.. Cudahy was
not at once doubled and even quad
rupled by the offerings of other rich
men, for while they may not be act
uated by the same feelings in this
particular case that Mr.. Cudahy is,
they are really as vitality interested, or
should be, in the apprehension of the
villains, SO far as the protection of
their own children is concerned, as is
Mr.. Cudahy. 1t is duty they ought
to assume without delay, to leave moth
ing undone to make child stealing as
odious as possible, and no punishment
is too severe for those engaged in it.
Such active measures should be engag-
ed as to make the life of such fends
uncomfortable and the repetition of
such an act one few will care to
indulge in. If present penalties in
the various states are not severe
enough to measure up with the awful
ness of the crime then additional
Legislation ought to be forthcoming
that will meet it. But in the mean
time it is to be hoped that in this
Omaha case no stone will be left I'M
turned to apprehend the villains en-
gagged in it.

SUCH A MAN NEEDED.

Speaking of the Hon. Robt. G.
Evans, the Rock County Herald, edited
by Senator 81. J. Miller, says:
1.-THE Republicans of Minnesota have
no ADLER, truer or stronger leader, no
one who stands higher in public es-
TEEN and confidence, no one who is in
closer touch with the common people
He is known to be clean, honest and
upright and in point of ability he will
take rank with the strongest men in
the United States The sentiment that
by reason of corporate influence and
the use of money, the United States
senate has refrigerated in recent years,
and it is much to be regretted that
there is foundation for this belief.
SIT is such men as Mr.. Evans who
are needed to restore the United States
senate to its old time standard
''If Evans is elected, his success will
be due entirely to his merits He has
no other resources, neither will he &C
cept the aid of any influence inimical
to public interests.
eff the untrammeled sentiment of
the Republicans of this state is ex-
pressed by their representatives in the
Legislature, there can be no doubt that
Evans will be chosen, and it remains
now for the people of this state to de-
termine whether or not their wishes
or the influences which too often con-
troll our senatorial contests, will pre-
vail >,

NOT VERY ELEvATING.

In commenting upon the West Point
hazing case, now undergoing an in
vestigation, the Minneapolis Tribune
says: so far as the evidence in the
West Point hazing case not only goes
far to confirm the first allegations of
brutality, but it also reveals state of
affairs that might naturally be ex-
pected in an idiot asylum but hardly
in an institution to train young men
for some of the most important duties
of life. So-called hazing which con-
sists of forcing "plebes'' to swallow
hot table sauce, eat six slices of bread
and drink bowl of syrup at a set
ting, take part in funeral ceremonies
over dead rats, and go through other
equally senseless performances may not
endanger the physical well-being of
cadets, but it has tendency to under
mine their intellectual faculties and
weaken their sense of self-respect. I"
The point of the Tribune is well taken,
and the revelations that are being
made in the investigation there, make
it most plain that there is a chance
for sweeping reform in that insti-
tuition. 1t is hard to see how such
practices as are testified to could be
carried on as continuously as they
seem to have been, without the officers
IN charge knowing more or less about
them, and take either horn of the de-
lemma you may, it is not more credit
able for the officers in control, than il
is for the young men who have been
engaged in the detestable practices.

A HANDSOME NUMBER.

The holiday number of the Maple
ton Enterprise put in its appearance
this morning and from all points of
view is a handsome number. 1t is en-
closed in beautiful cover in the CEN
ter of the first page of which is cut
of the Blue Earth county court house.
The number contains writeups of the
townships, short sketch of Mankato
and of the county in general, besides
much other interesting matter, and
withal is handsomely gotten up and is
a credit to Editor Hoatling and his
hustling qualities.

The Mankato Free Press says there
are enough candidates in Blue Earth
county for appointment under Van
SAINT to fill all the offices at his dis
posal. Also that at the most the county
cannot expect more than three or four
places. The Free Press does not say
why its county should have SO many
places, with some eighty counties also
in the field Buffalo Standard.
We did not say Blue Earth county
would get three or four places, we
simply said that was the most it could
expect under the most favorable cir
cumstances.

THE CIRCUIT BILL IN THE SENATE

The friends of the Circuit bill are
becoming somewhat discouraged over
the outlook for the bill in the senate.
1t was thought when the bill reached
the senate and was referred to the
agricultural committee that it would
receive the most favorable considera-
ton. But the situation is not so favor
able just now. 1t was given out that
there would be no hearings on the bill
before the committee after the holiday
recess. Now it turns out that there
will be no hearings during the holiday
recess but that the greater part of Jan
uary will probably be given up to lis
tening to what the cleo men have to
say.
One of the reasons that led the
friends of the bill to have it referred
to the committee on agriculture, was
the fact that Senator Allen, of Ne
braska, is a member of the committee,
and he has always posed as friend
of the dairy interests, but within the
past few days he has Topped over to
the other side, and has become strong
advocate of. the oleo-interests.
If present plans carry it is doubtful
whether the bill is reported to the
senate before the latter part of Janu-
airy, ard the chances of then getting
vote on the measure are very slim.
Congressman Tawney is said to be of
the opinion that the only manner in
which favorable action can be obtained
on the bill at this session, is to attach
it as an amendment to the revenue
redemption bill in the senate. Whether
this move would be successful or not,
is question. Further movements on
the bill will be closely watched by all
friends Of the dairy interests.

the effect that while Minister Conger

The Minneapolis Journals Washing
ton correspondent says it is not true
that Senator Towne will talk upon
different subjects in the senate. He
has accepted Senator Nelson's invita-
tion to speak on the occasion of SER
vices in memory of the late Senator
Davis in the senate on Jan. 18th next,
but further than this he is said to
have made no arrangements to speak.
1t has been rumored that he would
make speech in which he would out
line plan of organization for the
Democratic party and announce his
formal withdrawal from Bryan and
Organism, but this, the Journal cor
respondent says, is not true. He is
still friendly with Bryan and will not
attack him, especially in the United
States senate Many of Towne's adj
mirers among the senators have urged
him to speak on several of the subjects
before the senate, but he has not yet,
so the correspondent asserts agreed to
comply with their urgings.

THE GROWTH OF A CENTURY.

During the first year of the present
century the exports of the United
States amounted in round numbers to
$43, 900, 600. For the year now draw
ing to a close they will reach ST.
470, 900. At the commencement of the
century we were sending abroad no
manufactured products. This year
the export of our manufactured pro-
ducts will amount to $500, 600, 600, or
one-third of the whole export.
Up to 1875 our imports of merchan-
disc greatly exceeded our exports.
This year our exports will exceed our
imports by $3.50, 600, 900 and will ex-
coed by $50, 600, 900 those of any pre-
vious year.
During the first half of the century
our exports were chiefly agricultural
products, now we are competing with
the manufacturing nations of Europe
in nearly every field of industry, in
the worlds markets and outbidding
the iron masters of the old world in
the fields which up to the present time
they have wholly controlled, and our
manufactured products are in demand
everywhere. 1t has been great CEN
tury, we have made great progress and
still we are growing. And only a
few years ago there were those who
said that what has been accomplished
could not be done because of our pro-
tective policy. But it is because of
our protective policy that we have thus
grown. That is what has made our
growth possible.

THE HOUSE MEMBERSHIP.

The New York Tribune in comment
ing upon the size of the house under
the new apportionment calls attention
to the size of representative bodies
abroad and the ratio of population to
member, which is much smaller than
our own. In England the ratio of
population to members is only about
one third OF our own, while in France
the ratio is slightly larger than in
England. In Germany the ratio is
about three-fourths that of this coun-
try. It then turns to our own country
and calls attention to the states, where
