st Peter Tribune: In view that the
chinch bugs did considerable damage
last year, and as means, as far as
possible this year, to prevent their
destruction, a practical farmer suggests
to us to tell the farmers to burn the
dry grass in their fields and old straw
stacks, in fact burn every old trash
that is likely to harbor the insect pests
that damage the crop more or less
each year. By setting fire to the rub
bish, old straw stacks and dry grass
in the fields, you would largely
destroy the prospects of the "pests"
that find winter Judgment to multi
ply when warm weather comes. Ap-
ply the torch and extinguish them as
far as possible.

The Duluth News Tribune thinks
that Gov. Van SAINT s chances for re-
nomination are not as good as they
were six months ago, and the Mime
apolis Journal thinks that is where the
News Tribune is wrong. The merger
troubles it says has caused his guber-
material stock to go booming, while
the so-called "ill-advised extra ses
SION did not hurt him a bit. 1t is
dou btless case where the wish is
father to the thought with the News
Tribune. 1t has been engaged for
some time back in opposing the COVER
nor, and it has allowed itself TO get
out of touch with the people.

The Importance of an electric line to
the future growth of Mankato has
been emphasized during the past few
days, by the chances which have come
to hand for securing manufacturing
plants. The opportunity for locating
such.plants will be greatly enhanced
by rapid transit in our midst, as it
would allow the gathering of employees
from a greater extent of territory and
SO will allow of greater number be-
ing located in our city. Having ap-
preached the sum total required 80
closely, it will not do now to let it to
drop The city cannot afford it. The
benefits to be derived therefrom are
too great. Every citizen interested
in the future progress of the city,
should be at the meetings tonight.
If all will take hold and work together
and do what they can the balance OF
the sum required can be put up, and
the matter closed up at once.

Merchants Protective AssOCia
ton Wants Them.
Committee Appointed to Assist in Ar
ranging for Fiftieth Anniversary
Celebration.

The Merchants Protective associa-
ton held largely attended meeting
last night, that lasted until II 80 p.
N. The most of the time was devoted
to the credit feature, but several mat
tiers of general interest were discussed.
J. B. Richards brought up the pro-
position of W. P. Dish of Faribault
looking to the esta blishment of a rug
factory in the city. The idea met
with general favor, and the matter
was referred to the committee on
manufactures to look up a suitable
building.
Jay Henry Long brought up the
matter of trying to secure the st. Peter
overall factory, and it was referred
to the committee on manufactures to
negotiate with the ST. Peter firm.
Letters from the firm, received by
Messrs. Long and Richards, were read.
It is not certain that the firm will
leave ST. Peter, but it is inclined to
do so.
1t was stated that the knitting mill
intends to put in an overall manufac-
tory, and the committee is not to do
anything that will be detrimental to
the mill.
The bylaws were amended in several
particulars, but not radically. The
meetings Of the association remain pri-
vate. Ten standing committees are pro-
vided for, to be appointed by the pres
ident to takes the place of special
committees for each matter, as pro-
vided for by the original bylaws. The
following are to be the standing COM
mittees General arrangements enter
tainments; manufacturing; claims,
complaints and accounts; rail
, road and freights; city lights
and water works; laws and leg
islation; public property and grounds
elections and offices police and public
, health. President Pond will fill these
committees later.
The street railway matter was dis
cussed in a general way, but no action
was taken.
! The committee on municipal lights
was continued, to carry out its work
if the street railway project falls
/ through.
! 1t was voted to ask the council tc
provide some other place than the city
hall for band practice. The armory
, hall is suggested as good place.

lowing committee to assist in making

RepeaI Corrupt Practices Act.

Columbus, O., March 26.-The Gar
field law, which aimed to prevent cor
rupt practices at elections, was wiped
off the statutes by the senate passing
the bill for it's repeal. The law sought
to restrict the amount of money which
could be spent by candidates to Sc
cure a nomination or election by COM
polling them to file sworn statements
of their campaign expenses. The law
was generally evaded, but there were
few prosecutions under it.

The council is TO be commended for
the firm stand it took at its special
session Tuesday afternoon in regard
10 the fire limits ordinance. 1t weak
ened and wobbled around little at
first, but soon saw the absurdity and
injustice of such course, and turned
around and took firm stand in the
matter, We understand that the occu-
pant of one of the street car offices is
willing to go, in fact has been looking
around for something more substantial
for some time. and we presume all
will be pleased to get more permanent
quarters. It is probable that the old
street cars are no more dangerous than
some Of the other old wooden buildings
on the street. But that in this in
stance is hardly the question. They
were placed there in violation of the
fire ordinance, even though some Off
cial may have agreed to it at the time.
Aid Heinze laid down good rule for
the council to follow, when he said
that in the future he should oppose
any move which had in view the set
ting aside the intent of the ordinance.
He believed it should be enforced
on all alike. 1t is hard to see how the
council can do any different. The
safety of the city demands this. II
the ordinance is, not to be enforced,
it would be better to repeal it.
