man to be intoxicated while on duty. A
simple and liberal law regulating the pay
ment of labor should be adopted by all the
states, providing that all laborers shall be
paid in cash orders without discount, not
in goods or due bills, and that no compul-
sion, direct or indirect. should be used to
make them purchase goods at any particu-
lar store Provisions for the fair weighing
of coal at mines before it passes over a
screen should be adopted, and the miners
should have the privilege of employing a
check weighman at their own expense"
The commission comments at some
length on the enforcement of labor con-
tracts by injunction and of the difficulties
presenting themselves and the abuses
arising therefrom.
On the subject of railway labor the COM
mission is of the opinion that congress
should adopt a consistent code of laws
regulating all matters concerning employ
ment, such as hours of labor, Limitation of
continuous runs by engineers or continu-
Gus service by telegraph operators or
switchmen; the enactment of a consistent
employers liability code; the liability of
the employer or corporation for defective
appliances. The statutes already adopted
in the several states discriminate as be-
tween union and non-union labor by max
ing it penal offense to exclude union la
Dor only, would seem to be unconstitu-
| tional being class legislation. The statute
should apply to non-union and union labor
| alike, if it is to be enacted at all. The
right to be employed and protected with
out belonging to union should be pre-
served, but every facility should be given
labor to organize if it desires. and the last
vestige of the notion that trade unions are
a criminal conspiracy should be swept
away. The use of private police, detect
ives or other hired bodies of men to be
used in connection with labor troubles has
aroused considerable attention, and con-
gress probably has the power to enact rea-
sonable legislation to prevent abuses in
this direction.
The commission further states that in a
general way Cancellation laws have been

Views on MCCItary and Funk
Accepted Poor Advice.

Unfortunately for Mr.. Funk. of Man
kato, he has accepted the advice of fool
friends and entered contest for nomi
nation that he has no more show of getting
than he has of being elected president Of
the United States. Mr.. Funk is none the
less good man despite this single mistake
and we were glad to see him at the con-
vention the other day where the hopeless
ness of his contest was made patent. The
Funk boom is not even a menace and Mr..
McCleary and his friends have no fear
that there will be a single county repre-
sented in the next convention by Funk
delegation. Sleepy Eye Dispatch.

MEMORIAL SERMON.
Old Soldiers Addressed at the Christian
Church by Rev. WiIlyard.

The annual memorial sermon was
preached at the Christian church by
Rev. Willyard Sunday evening The
church was filled to the doors and the
seating capacity was not equal to the
demand made upon it. The chancel
was beautifully decorated with flowers,
and background Of ferns was arrang-
ed behind the pulpit. Old Glory was
draped in conspicuous place, and the
entire scene was an attractive one.
The old soldiers, members of the
Womans' Relief Corps and the volun-
teers of the Spanish war occupied re-
served seats directly in front of the
pulpit.
An appropriate musical program of
some length was carried out, including
solo, 'Tenting Tonight" by J. G.
Fowler, the audience joining in the
chorus.
Rey. Mr.. Willyard's subject was
Royalty of Service" and his text was
Matthew Xxx: 1921. He spoke of the
sufferings of the soldiers in the civil
war, of their great efforts and sacrifices,
and OF those who lost their lives, and
also turned to the pleasanter side of
their service, and related few anec-
| dotes. He paid tribute ito the other
great army-the women who stayed at
home and suffered as much as the men
who were at the front. He referred to
the victory of the American arms
in various parts of the world at various
times, and said that God sanctions war
when it is waged in the cause of justice
and humanity. He spoke of the great
danger that threatens our country as
it has brought ruin on other countries,
and that is avarice. The greed for
money and money worship are the bane
of the world.
Referring to the war in South Africa,
Mr.. Willyard said that the Beers may
fail, but sometime justice may be
melted out for the cruelty of their con-
queror.
Tomorrow the students in the vari-
Gus schools will be addressed, and on
Wednesday forenoon the Memorial
day exercises will occur at Glenwood
cemetery, when Judge Severance will
give an address.

A FEATURE OF IMPERIALISM.

DR.. Christian Johnson, of Willmar. re-
Gently wrote letter that ought to open
the eyes of some of those who are being
led off with the Bryan fusion crowd by the
cry of imperialism. DR.. Johnson has been
identified more or less with the Populists
for several years past. To show the utter
sensele ssness of the imperialistic cry, Mr.
Johnson takes the election figures OF SIX
districts in Ohio. where Senator Hanna is
accused of running things to suit himself,
and compares them with the figures of six
districts of Arkansas, the home of Chair
man Jones, of the Bryan Democracy, and
who runs things politically pretty much as
he pleases. These figures show that in
1898 in the congressional elections the six
districts in Ohio, cast 22e,e28 votes, or
about e5 per cent of the total registered
vote of the district. The six Arkansas dis
tricts taken have about the same popula-
ton, but cast only 26eo6 votes, or about
ten per cent of their total vote. All OF
which shows that while Senator Hanna
urges and encourages every voter to come
to the polls and freely express his choice,
exactly the opposite method is pursued by
Senator Jones, the leader of the great re-
form ~ forces Commenting upon the
Jones method, DR.. Johnson says;
Here you have imperialism that would
envy the GEAR of Russia. Jones arms his
retainers with Winchesters, stations them
at the polls, and issues his decree: The
man who wants to vote for me and my men
can vote, the man who don't want to vote
as I decree may keep away or get hole
through his Uranium" For thorough work
ZONES method is far the best. In one con-
gressional district only one opposition vote
sneaked in. In another four and in still
another eight While Mark Hanna's
method allowed three Democrats to be
elected in the Third, Fourth and Fifth
Ohio congressional districts.
Here is clincher on the assertions of
the opposition. The worst features of i'm
perialism charged against the Mckinley
administration do not begin to compare
with this brand practiced by the Bryan
D democracy. And another illustration of
its methods is the method pursued by
which Buckham is now acting as governor
of Kentucky, and the will of the people is
set aside entirely. No wonder Senator
Hoar declared that Mckinley was
preferable to Bryan. when the latter
openly puts the seal of his approval upon
these imperialistic practices.

THE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION ON

LABOR LEGISLATION.
The industrial commission which was
authoriz ed by congress to inquire into
in dustrial and economic conditions, has
ma de report to congress regarding labor
legislation and recommends improved legis-
lation by state legislatures rather than by
congress directly. The phase of labor
matter which is of greatest public interest
today, it says.is probably that of the regu-
lation of the hours of labor permitted in
industrial occupations and especially in
factories. AS congress has no power to
legislate directly in this matter, the com
m ission recommends that simple statue
be enacted by all the states regulating the
length of the working day for all persons
between the ages of fourteen and twenty
one years who work in factories. 1t further
says:
The employment of children below the
age of fourteen should be prohibited in
factories. The length of the workday in
all public employments should be fixed at
eight hours The same time should be
fixed for workmen in underground mines,
except in cases of emergency Employ
ment in mines of children less than IA
years of age and all women and girls
should be forbidden Congress might as
we'll enact that no person under Is should
be employed as telegraph operator on
railroads and that all engineers and switch
men should submit to an examination for
color blindness; also that it be made
misdemeanor for an engineer or switch.

GREAT IS MANKATO."

The st Paul Pioneer Press of Sunday
contained an extended write-up of some
two pages of Mankato. illustrated with
cuts of Gen. ] H. Baker and Mayor Cur
rier and views of number of public and
private buildings. Gen. ]. H. Baker writes
of the "Origin, development and pros
perity of Mankato;" Rev. Geo. H. Davis.
of Churches of Mankato;" Rev. A. Suffer-
of "St. Peter and Paul's Catholic Congre-
CATION" Supt w. E. Freeman. of blue
Earth County Schools" Prof Uline. of
I'M ankato City Schools" Miss Minnie
McGraw, of 'Mankato Public Library. /"
There are also large number of write
ups of business firms of the city.
In the introduction the Pioneer Press
writer says: "Mankato is not a boom
town. It never enjoyed or suffered any of
those paroxysmal periods which have Wis
tied so many western towns to send them
up like rockets and bring them down like
sticks. On the contrary the development
of Mankato has been steady and continu-
Gus. Every year has seen some gain,
some step forward for the benefit of the
city and its people, and today its popula-
ton of 900 people are we'll housed,
busy, enjoy the benefits of all of the best
urban conveniences and all of the re-
sources of an advanced and cultivated
civilization. Mankato by its location is
supplied with all of the natural and ac-
quired advantages that tend to produce
prosperity and expansion of business in
terests. Planted in a wilderness it has de-
veloped into garden, and from an armed
camp subject to the depredations of savages
it has become prosperous manufacturing
point and commercial center, supplying
at wholesale the demands of an extensive,
orderly and prosperous trade territory"
Gen. Baker, in his article, follows the
history of Mankato from the visit of
Mosieur LIE Sueur in 1906 to the present
time, giving briefly sketch of the early
settlers and the hardships of frontier times.
Continuing he says: Emerging from
those years of frontier history, romance
and hardships, the city moved forward
with good and regular growth. The ST..
P. & S. c. railroad was opened tos'Man-
,ato Oct. II, 1868. With the advent of
is and other railways the Minnesota

Calls Forth Feeble Response.

That McCleary will be renominated by
his party is foregone conclusion. He is
stronger today in this county than he ever
was before. His record in congress has
been entirely satisfactory to his constitu-
ents, and the disgruntled few, who some
time ago took every opportunity to de-
nounce him, have faced about and are now
marching in the ranks which have always
been loyal to him. Even Mr.. Funk's in.
terest in the welfare of McCleary's district
called forth only very feeble responses of
delight from the McCleary opposition

is in the business simply for the spoils he
hopes to get. Yet Towne is at least as
worthy as is Bryan. There is no doubt at
all but that Bryan had direct hand in
having the Sioux Falls convention held on
the date it was, SO as to cinch his own
chances at Kansas City by appearing there
with the nomination of one element of flu
sion. and so head off the possibility of con-
sentative action being taken in the nomi-

Bryan and Towne as a tool for the futher-
ance of their personal ends.

to obtain cabinet position in case Bryan
should happen to be successful next No
