A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The suggestion which was contained
in the communication of Mr.. w. D.
Willard last evening, regarding the ad-
visibility of preparing skating grounds
for the young in central locations,
which would at once be sufficient in
every respect to meet all requirements,
and at the same time free from the
dangers which are often connected
with such sport, is well worth the con-
,sideration of our citizens. There nc
more healthful outdoor sport, as Mr.
Willard states, than skating and with
a citysike. Mankato, there ought to be
every opportunity provided so that
the young may take advantage of it.
There are many parents who do moi
feel like allowing their children to &C
to the river, which is often dangerous,
andsmore SO to the young who do not
exercise the Judgment of older ones
Besides to the young child it is giving
an opportunity altogether too broad in
many respects for its good. But with
a skating park at more central point,
which could always be kept in good
shape, it would afford the youth of the
city much innocent, healthful amuse-
ment and keep them. away from many
places and temptations that would ex-
ert most unhealthful moral influence
TlDOn than Tt dOas NOT seam that the
expense need be very much to prepare
and keep in shape couple of such
parks or Kinks as was suggested, and
the benefits therefrom would be many
fold. 1t is suggestion which deserves
full consideration and should be taken
up at once so that proper steps may be
taken to have good ice in readiness
when steady winter weather sets in.

HELP THE POOR.

The season of year is now upon US
when the poor and needy must be
looked after and their absolute needs
provided for. The Ladies Relief so.
ciety is the one and only channel
through which charity should be ex,
tended, principally because this or.
ganization is made up of women who
know the people that are in destitute
circumstances and are therefore more
competent to judiciously distribute
the funds needful for relief.
Last evenings Free Press contained
an announcement that the charity ball,
which has been for years the method
adopted by the society for raising
unds, will this year be dispensed
with in order to crafty the wishes of
a goodly number of our good citizens
who are averse to raising money by
this means. The subscription plan
will be adopted instead, and it is up
TO those who have plenty of this
worlds goods to contribute literally
toward relieving the burdens and des-
5itation of the needy poor by contri-
outing generously to the Relief society
fund. Let it be borne in mind that
the society is composed of splendid
women who give their tine and no
uncomfortable amount of money be-
sides for the amelioration of suffering
humanity. In their efforts to raise
money with which to buy fuel, food
and clothing for those who cannot
provide for themselves, they should be
met by every person they approach
with such contribution as is possible
to make. Remember, it is more
blessed to give than to receive, and
every dollar you give to the society
not only makes the good women who
have a great winters work on their
hands happy, but you will also make
the recipients thrice grateful.

THE END OF BRYANISM.

A Washington correspondent says
that isingularly, Democrats do not re-
gard the results of Tuesdays election
as cause for despair. On the con
trary they find in them reasons for
self-congratulation. The universal
opinion is that Bryan leadership has
been permanently and finally broken 4"
AS one studies closely the result from
the standpoint of conservative Demo
~cracy there can be no other conclusion.
Bryan vert Into the Nebraska cam
paign and il worse beaten than he was
a year ago. In Iowa the Democrats
followed his fortune also, and the Re-
publican plurality is greater than a
year ago. On the other hand with the
exception of Ohio, which is a queer
state politically so far as either of the
great parties are concerned, the con-
servative Democrats in dropping
Organism, have placed themselves in a
very good position for the future, and
in time will probably regain their old
time position. ~ After March A, 1908
they will have in the senate such
strong men as German of as Maryland
and McCreary of Kentucky, who will
exert all 30 of S s..s their. influences
against Organism and if their
counsel is followed the partyss1.will
slowly work back to place occupied fol-
so many years. - In fact. if lit needs
well the bitter lessons it. has been
through for the past ten years it will
in time stand - far. better in public
esteem and be looked upon with far
less suspicion. But to do this it must
rid itself of the demagogic leaders. who
have loaded it down in the past. But
the entire country can well join with
the conservative leaders of Democracy
in rejoicing over the signal defeat Of
Organism and its attending dangerous
vagaries.

ROOSEVELT AND HANNA.

NOW that Senator Hanna has called
at the White House and had long
conference with President Roosevelt,
and has given it as his opinion that
Roosevelt is all right and is doing
what he believes will be for the best
interests of the whole country, the
Chicago Chronicle, which has had the
two men on the verge of quarrel for
the past six weeks, will doubtless have
cold chill. The Ohio senator ex
pressed himself as well pleased with
the president, and said that they
agreed upon all matters with one or
two exceptions and on those their
difference is not serious. Senator
Hanna does not fully approve of the
president attitude regarding south
ern appointments, but said whatever
move was made, would be made be-
cause in the Judgment of the president
it was for the best interest of the
country, and he was willing to trust
to his judgment in that respect. The
Ohio senator also vouchsafed the re-
mark that he should give the hearty
support, but further than that would
not talk. AS to matters talked over
with the president, he said they were
not for public use. There is no ques-
tion but that President Roosevelt
made a very popular move when he in
vited senators and representatives at
the white house for interviews upon
public questions. By such move he
has given them to understand that he
did not feel that he knew it all and
was above listening to their views up
on public questions, and while he will
no doubt continue TO stand by his
own judgment, still out of these in
terviews and conferences he will no
doubt obtain vast fund of informa-
tion with which will be vast service
to him. 1t will also tend to bring
about better understanding between
the chief executive and the leaders in
congress, which will be to the mutual
benefit of both in the months to come.

BOUND OVER.
Henry HittIe's Case Will Go to the
Grand Jury.

Henry Hittie had his preliminary
examination Monday forenoon on the
charge of abandonment and non-sup-
port of his wife. The latter was the
only witness sworn, and testified that
her husband had not paid last months
rent, and had not provided her with
winter clothing or with food. She said
that he had left and gone to the home
of his parents. She had gone there,
and when he arrived he told her that
she had no rights there and to kiss the
children for the last time and get out.
He then took her by the nape of the
neck and put her out.
The defendant waived further ex-
animation and was bound over to the
grand jury. He was released on 5000
bail A. R. Pau Jr. appeared as his
attorney.

him and has refused longer to do

The Milwaukee road has Withdrawn
from the time agreement of the Chi
cago-St. Paul roads, and it is said will
cut the running time between the two
points to ten hours. Thus is space
annihilated, and the world brought
more closely together. This move,
however, will work most seriously
against those roads which have long
distance, and they threaten to retaliate
by making cheap rate and there are
threats in the air that a 50-cent rate
may be the outcome of the move. The
long distance roads may for while
longer prevent the cut in time, but it
is sure to come and even the threat of
temporary cut rates will not prevent.
