HALLOWEEN VIOLENCE.
A Judge Who Is Not Afraid to Express
His Opinion.

Judge Raglan of Nebraska in his de-
cision in the case of Atchison against
the state hit the nail on the head, and
his words apply to Mankato as we'll as
elsewhere.
In the syllabus of the opinion, Judge
Raglan ruled that crowd of men or
boys on Halloween engaged in NOV
ing, injuring and destroying property,
is mob engaged in violating the
law, and the citizens may use such
force as is actually necessary to pro-
tect his person and property from in
jury at its hands.
In closing the opinion, which was
quite lengthy, Judge Raglan treated
the subject in general way as fol-
lows: "We are not justifying the pos
SCISSOR of property for shooting one who
is committing trespass thereon. But
here was man in his own home, in
the peaceable and quiet possession of
his property. A bowling mob of
brawlers, masquerading under the
name of Hall awe'eners, is paradjng
the streets of his town, injuring and
destroying property, threatening to
take his property and destroy it;
, threatening him with bodily injury if
he interferes, and this mob takes pos
session of his property and attempts to
take it away. 1t was for the jury to
say whether the prisoner, as reason
able human being, was justified under
the circumstances in making the as
sault he did for the purpose of protect
ing his property, for he certainly has
the right to protect his own. The fact
that this crowd was observing the bar
barous custom of committing mischief
and depreciation on the evening of Oct.
81 did not deprive--the prisoner of the
right to defend. .himself and his pro-
perty against their unlawful attacks
for no matter under what name they
masqueraded, the crowd was a mob
violating the law, and the county at
torney of Dawson county would do no
more than his duty if he caused each
member of this crowd of midnight
marauders to be indicted and pun
ished.

LONGEST RAILWAY TUNNEL.

The longest railway tunnel in the
United States is to be built through
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Cali

outlay of from $500, 0G0, 900 to $500, :
600, 600, being 81, 600 feet in length and
passings through the heart of the
mountain. It will save..the Southern

ARTICLES FILED.
The Officers of the Alaska Fish and
Lumber Co.

LuInDef W.
Articles of Incorporation of the
Alaska Fish and Lumber Co., an &C
count of the organization and purposes
of which was recently published by
the Free Press, have been filed in Ari-
IONA under the laws of that territory.
The capital stock is..placed AT $500, 600,
and Mankato is to be the principal
place of business.
The officers of the company are Col.
Gus. Widell president, I. R. Cough
Ian vice president, Frank Thayer Sec
rotary, L. P. Hunt treasurer, and John
D. Carroll of st. Paul Park general
manager.
Stock certificates are being litho-
graphed and as soon as completed the
stock will be placed on the market.
Common stock will be foated al
twenty-five cents on the dollar, and
preferred stock at par valDe.
Mr.. Carroll will take up his resid
ence at the location of the company
property in Alaska, and expects tc
leave for there in two weeks to take
full charge of operations. Many i'm.
provements in the TOWNSHIP that has
been purchased are projected, includ
ing the construction of fish canning
factory, and the remodeling of the
saw mill so as to more than double its
present capacity. The expenditure
on improvements will aggregate $50,
900 to $50, 900.
The outlook for this company seems
very bright. Mr.. Carroll is a live,
energetic man, and just the one to have
general charge of the large business
which the company will engage in.
The location selected is one of the best
to be found in Alaska.

ished dreams have been dashed to
pieces against the inexorable rock of
the child's own disposition and char
acter.
On the other hand it frequently hap.
pens that young man who has com
pleted one of the practical courses al
luded to suddenly forms the resolution
to enter college. Shall the college
doors be- closed to him simply because
he could not tell four years ago what

is this fair2 In many instances our

without having has a syllable of
Greek. Arrangements are made where
by such students may make up the de-
ficiency after having entered college.
Similarly, if a graduate of our civic
or commercial courses found deficient
to the extent of one year in mathe-
matics or science or literature, WHY
not give him also an opportunity to
make up the deficiency after entrance?
After all, has not our practical minded
youth whose case we are considering
had four years of mental discipline
and training, the same as his more
classically or scientifically inclined
brother, who is admitted without
question: If this fact is pressed home
to our college and university faculties.
as | have no doubt it will be very
soon, we may rest assured that all our
high school graduates will be fairly
treated, irrespectively of the course
they may have pursued and completed
as secondary students.
In advocating the necessity and de-
STABILITY of a more practical course
OF study for our high schools there is
a certain feeling that one is breaking
away from old traditions and we'll es-
tablished ideals. The instinct of con-
servatism and reverence for the past is
strong in most teachers But there
are times when such reverence must be
heroically disregarded, especially
when it stands in the way of truth
and progress. The high schools of our
country have had phenomenal growth
during the past ten years both in num-
Der and enrolment. This means that
J II
they are cordially supported by the
great mass of our people. But what if
the people shall become convinced that
they are not getting an adequate re-
turn for the costly investment that has
been nader In my opinion it is best
to read the signs of the times in sea-
son and duly profit thereby.

NOT A COMMISSION"
Chairman Mills Discovers the State
Boards Real Name.

St. Paul, Nov. 6.-Chairman Mills
has discovered that the railroad and
warehouse commission under the laws
of the state, is 'sthe board of railroad
and warehouse commissioners. The
law of 1899 does not recognize the body
under the name commission.
The error was discovered through
official papers bearing the former
name. These have been corrected and
other documents of recent issue are be-
ing looked over for similar errors.
Nothing has been discovered to show
that any of the official records or or
ders of the commissioners are in any
way affected.
Under former law the body was a
commission.

WEALTH IN GEORGIA GRASS,

1t is especially important this year
that the Georgia farmers should save
as much hay as they can conveniently
handle. The indications are that the
corn and hay crops of the West will
both be very short this year. This
means high prices.
It is too late now for our farmers to
enlarge their corn crop, but there is
ample time for them to save plenty of
hay. The South buys a great deal Of
bay from the West, and now that the
crop of that section has been cut short
by the dry weather, it is safe to say
that Western hay will bring a fancy
price another year.
Our farmers will stand very muck in
their own light if they have to buy any
of this western hay another year.
Grass in Georgia was never better
than it is this year and the farmers
can save an abundance of fine hay, if
they will devote the necessary time
and work to it.
They ought to save enough hay foE
their own stock and also supply the
cities and towns of the South. There
are several grasses in Georgia which,
when properly cured, make hay that
compares fayorably with the best
Timothy, In fact, livery stable men
IN this city who have tried every
variety of hay say that the best they
get is raised here in a few miles of the
city.
We have watched the weekly press
of the state carefully and we find that
most of them report fine grass crop
aud urge the farmers to save a big
crop of hay. We might even reverse
the usual order of things this winter
by shipping Georgia hay to the cities
of the West
There is money in raising hay, when
it is properly cured and baled for ship
msnt. Let our farmers devote their
attention to saving hay, which is just
as much of money crop as cotton.
Good hay can always be sold 10y the
farmer at fair prices, and the smart
farmer will save enough hay this year
to make up for a short cotton crop
