Dougherty's room in the West Mankato

Trip to Mason City.

The following letter from an official
of the Barber Asphalt Co. was read to
the council by Mayor Petersen:
Chicago. Ill, Nov. 18th. 1901. Mr..
Clarence Saulpaugh, Mankato, Mimi.
My Dear Sir: Referring to the con-
versation which I had with you while
in Mankato, relative to the paving of
several streets in your city, at
which time you stated to me that you
would be glad TO do everything that
you could to further any paving
movement in Mankato, l beg to say
that my engagements are such as to
prevent my visiting your city again
under two or three weeks In the
meantime very valuable opportunity
may be lost to see the work of paving
with asphalt at Mason City, Iowa,
which is nearby city to you and one,
too, which is shout the same size as
yours 8. l would be very glad indeed if
you could arrange for com mittee Of
several of your citizens, say the
mayor, president of the board of pub
lie works, city engineer, editors of
both papers, yourself and one or two
others as you may see fit, to go to
Mason City aud look over the work
there while it is being constructed At
the same time you can also see some
new brick pavement which has been
down some four or five years. | should
be very glad iIdeed to pay the ex
penses of such trip. Ii you will
kindly take hod of it and take these
people down there, think you will
find it to your advantage as we'll as
mine and have no doubt but we can
come to some personal agreement
which will wolk out to our mutual adj
vantage
Kindly let me hear from you at an
early date as possible. and if possible
let me know when you will be in
Mason City. should arrange to go
there either this week or next if
were in your place and possibly l can
arrange to meet the committee in
Mason City for the day only. Await
ing an early reply, | am, yours sim
cerely,
G. M. CARPENTER.
Mayor Peter,en said that if he could
possibly find tie time he would go.
Aid. Taylor laid that many property
owners of bis ward, with whom he
had talked, wanted paving. Much of
the material used in asphalt paving is
shipped from Nankato to other states.
Most of the people want paving, he
thought.
Mayor Petersen spoke of paving
Broad street. Most of the people want
asphalt, but he would give the people
what they want. Broad street is in
a very bad condition. He did not
know how durable asphalt is, but it
can be repaired. If Broad street can
be boulevarded and pipes laid under
the boulevards it would be a good
thing. If the city would pay part and
the balance be extended over five years
it would meet the approval of the
people.
Aid. Heipze favored sending one or
more officials..to Mason.City.
Aid. Taylor laid that Mr.. Carpenter

HE GENERAL ELECTION

The general election in Massachusetts
is hardly more than a week off. In re-
markable contrast to the campaign OF
last year is the present apathetic at
titude
If we were to make a prediction at
this hour We should say that the Dem
ocratic vote will show an enormous
shrinkage over the Presidential vote.
While the Republican vote will be
smaller. Governor Crane will have a
majority, this year, that will fairly
rival. If not exceed. the majority re-
ceived. last year, in the Presidential
campaign, when the excitement was
intense and an exceedingly popular
President was at the head Of the Re
publican ticket.
There should be. and there probably
will be, little change in the political
complexion Of the state as a whole.
Republicans should lose nothing in the
Legislature. The city Of Worcester
may possibly send one more Republic
can representative, this year than

PAN-AMERIcAN CONGRESS

The Pan-American Congress has be-
gun its work in the ancient city of
Mexico. This Congress has before it
one of the greatest problems in human
history.
Shall the new American continents
join hands and work together for each
others interest and welfare, or shall
the growth and wealth and power re-
suit in an armed neutrality or open
warfare. such as has frequently dis
graced the South American republics
and such as is today disgracing the
civilization of Europe?
If the United States of America can
come into a substantial agreement
forming a powerful nation, why can't
the American nations form an alliance
that will be unparalleled in strength
and usefulness? The resources of
opened up to the world. The United
States, with all her prosperity and
power, is still in her infancy. Canada
on the north, and Mexico on the south,
are growing. With the English speak
ing people of Canada the United States,
above all, should seek an alliance for
commerce and perpetual peace.
1t is as important and rational to
have reciprocity established between
the Dominion of Canada and the Unit
ed States as to have an absence of
trade restrictions between Massachu-
sets and New Hampshire. The United
States is by far the strongest power in
the Western Hemisphere. If we care
seriously for the civilization that we
are supposed to possess, we should
seek every opportunity to extend our
methods, our educational systems, our
industry and agricultural triumphs to
our sister nations in America.
This Pan-American Congress cannot
put into effect any policies, but it can
suggest and formulate plans that may,
in the course of decade, have a tre-
mendous effect upon the history of the
world. Arbitration and reciprocity will
be the two most important subjects
before the Pan-American Congress.

CHANGES IN ARRAN CEMENT
OF FIRE LIMIT ASKED

Councilman Nelson H. Davis appear
ed in behalf of his order relative to
abolishing the fire limits all over the
city. Chief E. L. Vaughan repeated
his suggestion made at a previous hear
ing in which he favored the abolition
of the present system of fire limits
providing sufficient distance is preserv-
ed between buildings and the line of
the lot. In addition Chief Vaughan
emphasized the necessity Of using roof
ingother than shingles.
Superintendent of Public Buildings
Charles H. Peck would favor the alb
clifton of fire limits under proper
building restrictions, but he wouldwant
something in place of the present ar
rangement. The committee voted to
have a public hearing on the matter
in the near future.
John ]. Griffin appeared in support of
his petition for Encouragement of fire
limits in the vicinity of % Preston
Street. The property is inside the fire
limits but Mr.. Griffin would like to
erect a wooden building on the lot No
action was taken on the matter.

THE OLD CEMETERY

About a year ago The Spy called at
tention to the dlsgraceful condition of
the old Roman Catholic Cemetery just
beyond Newton Square, We are sorry
to say that the conditions have not
improved. The fences have rotted away
some more, the frost and growing trees
have done still further damage to the
ancient graves, and the bushes have
had another years growth.
Excepting for the tender care Of the
Grand Army on Memorial Day for a
few graves where veterans repose, the
whole cemetery is in a wretched con-
dition and growing worse. The grave
stones are one by one falling to pieces
under the action of frost and the roots
of the trees The bushes and vines
and weeds fill the place completely.
1t is a resort for the idle tramps, for
it shelters them from the view of pass
ersby. It is an unsightly spot. The
responsibility for this condition has
been fixed outside the city of Worces-
ter. 1t has been understood that ne
gotiations for the sale of the cemetery
had progressed and there was a posi-
bility of having the bodies removed
to a place where they could be prop
erly cared for.
1t is said that the action of the Leg
islature is necessary to abandon the
cemetery for burial purposes and tc
remove the bodies. If the authorities
of the church who. control the grave
yard are unwilling to petition the Leg
islature, il seems to US that the city
government might take that action. II
is not exactly the business Of a pri-
vate citizen, and we can understand
that the church authorities might hes
itate to ask for legal permission tC
remove the bodies, but it would be less
embarrassing, we should think, for the
bishop to ask the Legislature for per
mission to have these bodies removed
to a proper burial ground than to per
nit the present conditions to continue

PUBLIC FRANCHISE LEAGUE

reporter from Boston reviews the con-
nection of the Boston Elevated Rail-
way Company with the Legislature
The Public Franchise League has is
sued its report on the subject.
Regarding the services of the news
papers in fighting the Boston Elevated
Railway Company, the report says:
I'VE regret that, as we have said, the
majority of the press is not with US
but the public to the Boston Post, the
Boston Evening Transcript, the Bos-

HE NEW YORK GRADERS

Josiah Flynt has written an article
in THE Independent" which was is
sued yesterday, on the subject of Re
form-A Business Suggestion"
He calls attention to the municipal
corruption in Philadelphia, New York
and Chicago, particularly in New York.
He suggests an investigating agency
similar to Pinkerton's Detective Blu
reau to be supported by the lovers
of good government with the view of
keeping a constant watch over the mu-
nicipal administration in large cities.
He says;
The Investigating Agency, on the
other hand would frankly advertise
its business, and would be prepared to
fight the police and crooked officials
with their own weapons. These weap-
ons would be 'stool-pigeon" for stool
pigeon" trickery for fraud, wise" de-
tectives for crooked "fiy-cops," and life
for life if the struggle became fierce.
This is not a gentle procedure, but l
am convinced, after over 10 years ac-
quaintance with different manifesta ia
lions of graft, that gentle procedures
are not going to make graft unprofita-
bic in this country. My recent work
in the interests of reform in Phila-
delphia and New York has further con-
WINGED me that some such business
like concern as l have indicated would,
in the course Of time, strike quite as
much terror into the hearts Of the IN
known grafters as have the Pinker-
tons into the hearts Of the known pro-
fessional thieves. Reform does not
mean today sitting back in an easy
chair and wondering why the world
does not grow better Of itself; in the
United States it means getting out OF
the easy chair, and, as my bank-robber
friend said. "hammering away al
graft" whether an election is on or
not"

Czolgosz will be executed, next
Tuesday. The authorities in charge of
this assassin deserve the congratula-
tons of the American people for the
way he has been guarded since his
condemnation. His name has been
universally detested, his personality has
not been exploited by the newspapers
and his unpronounceable name will
pass into oblivion. 1t is much easier
for the American people to refer to
him simply as "McKinley's assassin

a name.
