SOME GROUND FOR COMPLAINT
The Blue Earth Register saws:

1t is regretted that we feel forced
TO speak Of the need of change of
locations for the holding of the South
ern Minnesota Teachers association,
which have been held at Mankato fer
some time. 1t is the universal senti-
ment of the teachers in general that
the Mankato people do not take
enough interest in these gatherings of
leading instructors from various parts
of southern Minnesota, who meet for
the instruction that may be obtaiLed.
and for the benefit of the communities
which these 200 or more teachers rep
resent.
In the first particular it is difficult
to get stopping places. Secondly they
do not get proper treatment. To
illustrate: One lady teacher in
being shown her room politely asked
for place to wash and was informed
that no such luxury would be proyid-
ed in her room. And lastly thew are
charged extravagant rates for third
class accommodations The corps of in
structors, in view of these unpleasant
features, believe that Fairmont or
some other convenient city, where they
would receive more courtesy and con-
sideration, would be far more prefer
able for place of meeting. We are
sorry that Msnkato cannot afford bet
ter entertainment for teachers who as
semble there quite frequently and pa
tronize her merchants, but as the op-
posite has proven the rule from the
start, we believe another place should be
selected fol this army of Instructors
and benefactors.
The Free Press feels that this is a
matter that should not be passed over
lightly. 1t is important that Mankato
retain the meetings of the Southern
Minnesota Teachers association, and
II necessary the Merchants Protective

Governor Van SAINT has license to
feel highly elated over the splendid
endorsement the people of Mime sofa
have given him. When entering upon
the second term as head of this great
commonwealth he can feel that the
citizens thereof have stood by him in
his efforts TO enforce the laws. Mr..
Van SAINT takes great deal of pride
in being governor of Minnesota. He
justly feels it great honor to occupy
such a position of trust. Whatever
the governor lacks in scholarly at
tainments he makes up in rugged
honesty and integrity, strict fidelity
to duty and high regard for princi-
pie. a respect for the oath of his office
and a desire to perform the duties de-
volving upon him in a manner salts

The Republicans have won a grear
victory. 1t is hoped that the lsurels
will not cause the party's head to as
sumo an ungainly size and thereby
spoil it all. Those gentlemen who
have been elected to the positions of
trust should act with caution and thus
will confidence continue to be reposed
in the party that has always worked
for the bsst interests of the people.

REV. PENTECOST ON ROOKIE
TELLER.

Rev. Hugh o. Pentecost of the Unity
church. New York. doesn't quite
agree with JOHN D. Rockefeller in
his estimate of God and the doughty
pastor who has on several occasions
spoke out in meeting. has placed his
stamp of disapproval upon Rockefel-
ler's recent utterances:
SIT is amusing how intellectual
some men can be on some lines and
how pueriIe on others, says Rev.
Penteccs. An Instance Of Jnis was
when John D Eockefeller's house
burned. Mr.. Rockefeller said that
God had heen merciful and graciously
saved the members of his family
from the flames, and as token of his
gratitude he gave $500, 900 to he Col
umbia university on condition that
they raise stipulated amount some
where else.
Rockefeller believes God saved him
and his family from the flames I
wonder if he believes God set the
house on FIRE just to show he could
and would save him? Or, perhsps,
he believes God allowed the devil to
set the house on fire.
IF God is good think he would
refuse to have anything to do with
such person as Rockefeller whose
connection with the Standard Oil
company is but longer series of
crimes.
HE stands for all that is worst in
the Christian religion. There are
beautiful things in the Christian re-
ligion but there is nothing beautiful
in the character or life of Rockefel-
L.,

An opportunity to increase the gross
