FRENCH SOCIAL CONDITIONS
Rev. Geo. w. Davis Reads a Very In
teresting Paper Thereon.

At the meeting of the Social Science
club last evening Rev. Geo. w.
Davis read very interesting paper on
TouCID ConaIJIons In france. he
reviewed conditions under Louis XIV
and also Louis XIV and XVI which
led up to the great French revolution,
and commented upon the bearing
which that upheaval had upon the
conditions which exist today. Little
was said of Napoleon, as he said he
had little influence upon French affairs
of lasting character. His only good
work for France was the Napoleonic
code, which was largely his own work,
showing his wonderful insight into
the affairs of men and nations. French
law and legislation is today based
upon that code, as we'll as much of
that of the European nations. The
trend of the revolution was for greater
liberty and a republic. 1t took three
attempts to get it firmly established,
but apparently it is upon a sound basis
now. The aristocracy is either exiled
or else retired to their estates, and
take no part in the government, leav-
ing that to the middle and laboring
classes. These are against monarchy
or empire, and so the republic grows
in strength Socialism is making a
rapid growth. He said there were six
political parties, and he gave a brief
description of them. The chief evils
of France are alcoholism and licen-
;tiousness. The papers and the govern
ment have taken a strong stand
against the former. Newspapers are
widely read, but Frenchman seldom
reads any but one of his own belief,
hence his radicalness. The army il
strong with the people, because OF
all things the French love the spectac,
ular. Everything with them is shap,
ed to that end.
E. L. Patterson opened the discus
sion taking up several features which
the paper had touched but briefly
and discussing them. Both speakers how
ever, presented rather of a hopeful
view of the future of France. A gen
eral discussion followed.
The next meeting of the club will
be held on Tuesday evening, April 1s
when Rev. 81. D. Williams will reai
paper on "The Present Aspects o.
the Negro Question, and Rev. GEO.
b. Davis will lead the discussion.

MANKATO GETS 1T
Sleepy Eye Stock Food Com
pany Coming,
Offer of the Committee OF the Mer-
chants Protective Association is
Accepted.

The World Stock Food Co. of Sleepy
Eve has accepted the proposition
mailed it Saturday by the committee
of the Merchants Protective associa-
Eion, and will move its factory to
Mankato. The information was re-
ceiyed this morning in the following
letter to Robt. Lamm, chairman of the
committee:
Sleepy Eye, March IS, 1909.
Dear Sir: Your letter Of the 10th
received and in reply will say that
meeting of the board of directors was
called last night and your proposition
was considered and duly accepted.
Mr.. DeVaux will be in Mankato We'd
nesday of this week to find suitable
building and we would consider it a
favor if you could in the mean while
look up location and rents. In regard
90 some stakeholder of Mankato being
on the board of directors, we think it
a good idea and accept it, but hold
the right to choose one who is suitable
to us. Eoping to make the final ar
rangements with you this week, we
are respectfully,
"BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
''by L. Wagner. Sec'y."
The business OF manufacturing stock
food is said to be very profitable
one, and no difficulty is expected in
placing the$5OO stock which the commit
tee guaranteed The question of loca-
ton is as yet undecided, but there are
several buildings now vacant which
would be suitable for the purose. Mr..
DeVaux will be shown these.
Mankato is glad to welcome the
Sleepy Eye factory, and hopes that il
will never have cause to regret locat
ing here. The city needs just such
factories, and this one is expected tt
grow until it becomes an important
industry. The superior shipping facil
titles which this city offers, combined
with increased capital, should ensure
q steady growth to the company
business.
The Merchants Protective associa
ton has made good beginning il
the way of getting new factories, an(
it will accomplish much for the cit.
if it continues to work along Thu
line. No opportunity to get a worth.
industry should be neglected.
