MORGAN OPPOSES ROOSEVELT.

That man Morgan is against Roose-
velt. The information is not surpris-
ing Morgan is not for anyone who
does not dance to his tune Morgan
says Roosevelt is an "unsafe" man.
Yes, President Roosevelt is undoubt-
eddy an unsafe man for some of Nor
gan's schemes.
In this connection The Minneapolis
Journal has the following to say:
SIT is reported today that President
Roosevelt has decided to stand for
friendly and prudent revision Of the
tariff. This course will invite the
opposition of the great captains of in
dustry of the Morgan type. They will
say, as Morgan is reported already to
have said, that Roosevelt is an 'un-
safe man. Soon or late the battle be-
tween the political and the Industrial
organizations of the American people
must be fought TO finish. 1t is better
for it to come now, with such leader
on the side of the people and the gov
eminent as Roosevelt, than later. He
surely will be nominated. That forces
the Morganites to the other course
suggested by Mr.. Mogan-the nomi-
nation of safe Democrat. Ii it
comes to that the so-called safe Demo-
crat will be vastly weaker candidate
than Bryan -

renominated without opposition. He
will be reelected in November to the
high station he has held for nearly ten
years
During his incumbency Mr.. Nc
Cleary has made himself a conspicu-
GUS character in national legislation

marked with great success and his in
telligent and foroeful discussion of the

leading part in the framing of legisla-

HITTING AT wATTERSON.

With great display of fervor The
Minneapolis Tribune takes up the
fight in behalf of the "smart set" of
New York and denounces Henry Wat
terson as common scold. In The
Tribune's article there is one para
graph that attracts attention. The
Tribune says:
Corruption in private life is not
cured by scolding about it. which
has the suspicion of notoriety seeking
or petty personal revenge for Sights.
But it is apt TO be cured by pub
licity, although it is not within the
province of newspapers to attack the
private characters of persons unless
those persons seek by their corrupt
ways to contaminate a community.
Newspapers do not pay any atten-
tion to the poker and drinking clubs
conducted by the ''smart set' in
communities nor to many other de-
moralizing influences that have held
sway.
Moral people do not feel hurt by the
Wattersonian attacks. Generally it is
those people who are hit that squirm.

PUT EN- TO SLEEP
Mankato Physicians Receiving
Lessons in Hypnotism.
Interesting and Instructive Entertain
ments Are Given BY DR.. C.
A. Burdette.

Hypnotism is one of the sciences
that has taken hold of the American
people with considerable force during
the past few years and of late the
physicians Of the country have be-
come inculcated with the notion that
it is good thing in their line Of
work.
Mankato physicians are not behind
the times for during the past few
weeks they have been receiving in
struction in hypnotism from DR.. @.
A. Burdette, principal and founder of
for the cure of diseases and the corree-
tion of vices A number of the local
physicians have gathered together
evenings and they have been given
lessons in the science of putting people
to sleep and then having the drowsy
ones carry out suggestions made to
them. The physicians hold that this
new science will be of valuable assis-
lance to them in the practice of their
profession.
victims of the tobacco and liquor
habits were put under the spell and
it was suggested to them that they
''cut 'em out. Up to date they have
not returned to the habits and DR..
Burdette claims they will not.
A boy was handed five cent piece
and made to believe he had 30 in his
inside pocket For two days he went
about town trying to make people be-
lieve that he had five large simoleons
in his possession. He felt quite cha
grined when he came to, to find only
a nickel in his pockets
DR.. Burdette has placed persons I'M
der spell and suggested that in a
few days from that time they do GER
tain things They always carried
out the suggestions. In Buffalo sew
eral years ago DR.. Burdette suggested
to lady musician that on Jan. 1,
two years after, she play a certain
selection on the piano She did 30 to
the letter.
DR.. Burdette claims that hypnotism
has been the means of correcting
many boys and girls and bringing
them back to the right paths. The
pilfering habit has been broken up
among boys.
DR.. Burdette has great faith in
hypnotism as means of curing dis
ease, and in the United States he has
given instruction to thousands of
physicians who have used it in their
daily practice The doctor will re-
main here the balance of the week.

THE PARTY,S NOMINEES.

1t will not be difficult matter for
every Republican in Blue Earth
county to tender his hearty and loyal
support to the ticket nominated on
Tuesday 1t is made up of most ex-
cellent men-men who have already
served the people we'll and faithfully
in their several capacities, and tney
should be continued in office another
term.
The three members of the legisla-
ture-Messrs. Wilder, Nyquist and Nor
man-are endorsed by an excellent
vots and the fact that their opponents
we're all good men makes their renomi-
nation al the more gratifying to those
who were most hearty in their sup
port. The three gentlemen should be
returned to the legislature by hand
some majorities.
Messrs. Weaver, Davis, Bangerter,
Wilson, Hughes, Brooks, Kennedy,
and Freeman are renominated for
their respective positions auditor,
treasurer, register of deeds, county
attorney, judge of probate, surveyor,
coroner and superintendent of schools
They are all capable men and have
made very efficient officers. They have
the confidence of the people and as a
majority of them have no opposition
the election of all is assured There
is no good reason why they should not
be retained.
The most exciting contest was for
the position of sheriff. The result was
close between Messrs. Williams,
Gerlich and Edwards and the former
won by narrow vote. All are
very excellent men. Mr.. Williams
will be elected by rousing majority
and will make splendid official.
w. w. Paid ,ck is given a recall
for county commissioner in the
second district, having won a signal
victory over three very excellent gem
tlemen who sought the place. There
is no doubt of Mr.. Paddock's election
in November. He has performed his
duties in highly creditable manner
and he deserves to succeed himself
The denomination of B. 81. Killmer
for commissioner in the fourth dis
trict, is very pleasing to his many
friends, and that gentleman s constitu-
ents feel that their interests will be
we'll looked after when he is serving
on the county board.

PRIMARY ELECTION Law.

The new primary election law had
it's first general test Tuesday. and
while it is not altogether popular with
many of the oldtime political workers
and ward heelers it is certainly very
satisfactory to the great majority of
the people in Mankato and Blue Earth
county.
AS now provided each individual
has the privilege of going to the polls
and casting his ballot for the man of his
choice. If he fails to exercise this
right and privilege 1t is his own fault
and not the fault of anyone else. The
result in the city and county is also
very satisfactory in the selection of
candidates to be voted for at the
polls. In several ihetances 11thstcehLI
test was close. but there was nothing

Some idea of the magnitude of
New York's subway can be gained
from the amount of money that has
already been expended in its construc-
ton. 1t is only three-titths completed
and sci, 900, 900 has been spent by the
city. Twenty-four human lives have
been sacrificed. The contract will
reach $50, 600, 600 1t has been neces-
sary TO excavate 3, 900, 600 cubic yards

will begin to recover from its tornup
condition within short time. Only
a few blocks here and there remain to
be excayated, and several sections of
the tunnel are nearly completed.

FAvOas TARIFF REVISION.

If the correspondents from the east
are to be given credence President
Roosevelt proposes, while on his
western tour, to talk tariff revision.
If this is the case the president viii
talk along lines that will meet with
the approval of the people in the seq
tion he will pass through. Tariff
revision is demanded by the people
and the president has long since OBJ
served the drift of public sentiment.
He has caught on to this drift more
readily than have a number of the
congressman who have had better
opportunity of mingling with the
people and learning of their desires.
President Roosevelt is reported to be
in favor of prudent revision of the
tariff with view to abolishing
duties where the protection is not
needed for American workingman or
where the tariff itself creates mon
opoly and results in raising prices i'm
properly.
Senator Spooner of Wisconsin is

matter

To dance or not to dancer That's
the question-sthat disturbs the minds
of the school board and the teachers at
Hewitt. Miss Tilda Rhoda, the
sweet-faced teacher, left the school
room and refused to longer instruct
the young folks because she discover
ed in her contract an Objectionable
clause to the effect that she should not
attend card parties or dance during
the school year. The people of Hewitt
are said to be circulating petition
in her behalf.

farmers: ''Hold your wheat" has

his head about how the votes go.

Board Of Trade. Duluth
Sept. 17.-Wheat fuctuated last
week within to l 12c range and closed
Saturday at about the same price as
it started. 1t was strong tie most of
the week on the small movement,
active demand and higher prices for
spot wheat and good buying by profess
SIGNALS, also on good clearances and
good sales for exports. The govern
ment report was construed as rather
builish Wheat has moved within very
narrow limits this week. but there has
been a strong undertone to the mar
ket.
Northwestern and primary western
receipts are steadily increasing but
the cash demand and the demand for
export are both good. Prices abroad
have remained about steady for fu-
lures, but spot wheat at Liverpool is
one cent per bushel lower for some
grades.
Russian and Danubian ports are said
to be engaging large amounts of vessel
room, fore-hadowing Increased ship
ments which are now very heavy from
those ports.
The worlds visible supply increased
2, 1913, 900 bushels. The government
weekly crop report says that the
weather has been favorable for thresh-
ing spring wheat except in North Da-
kota where high winds have interior
red. Good progress has been made
in fall blowing and considerable win
ter wheat has been sown.
Bad reports are coming in of dam
age to corn by the late frost. In
northern Nebraska northern Iowa.
South Dakota and Minnesota it will
amount to from twenty to fifty
per cent.
We recommend to farmers who have
No. corn to sell it at the present
high price for spot corn of 6S to 6Oc
and replace it by buying the December
option at around 44c or the May
around 41c; the operation shows a
large profit.
Wheat may work little lower If
the spring wheat movement enlarges
as it should. but on all such declines
wheat is good purchase.
