Chicago's Sad Spectacle.

Chicago is sadly in need of mayor
with backbone enough to cope with the
striking hearse- drivers who have issued
a def that dead people shall not receive
proper burial. Of all the spectacles that
the residents of any town are forced to
gaze upon those which have disgraced
Chicago during the past few days are the
limit. If Mayor Carter H. Harrison's po-
lice force is not equal to the emergency
there are other means which can be
brought into use that will put stop to
the work of the disorderly mobs. 1t is
high time that the authorities of Chicago
asserted themselves. That mis-governed
city has been strike burdened for many
months, mobs have controlled the streets
causing riot and bloodshed, yet the in
competent mayor sits idly on his throne
and permits these outrageous proceedings
to continue, in the face of the protests
of thousands of citizens who have since
become disguised with his do-nothine
policy. This man Harrison is produc
of former mayor of the same name, {
good man in many ways, but one wh'
did bring to bear the strong arm of tn
law upon those who stamped upon the
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1903-12-25

statutes, spat upon the ordinances, and
the result was reign of anarchy which
was only brought to an end by the most
decisive action of those who were sworn
to protect life and property, and at that
it was not accomplished without the
shedding of blood.
When it comes to pass that the dead
cannot be laid away in peace, then it is
high time that all the people who have a
wholesome respect for the law and whose
hearts are filled with humane spirit, shall
rise up in their Indignation end drive oui
those who have caused patience to cease
to be a virtue.
When labor unions will carry strikes
to such extremes all public sympathy
in their cause is lost. The thought that
hearses are prevented from conveying
dead bodies to the cemetery is too revolt
inc for calm consideration and too des-
picabIe for even the most ultra -unionists
to engage in, Undertakers have been
obliged to keep secret the notices of
deaths of importance since the strike
began to prevent the r'ckets from watch
ing and interfering with funerals. That
such terrible condition should exist
in any community in free America seems
Incredible, but that it does exist is a
fact, and all the powers OF the NUM-
cipality of Chicago should be exercised to
put stop to it, and if the city officials
are incompetent to brig about the pos
sibility of giving burial to the dead in
order and according to civilized custom,
then the powers of the state and even the
nation if need be should be appealed to.
The mob spirit in Chicago has certain
ly become intolerable, and in the present
instance it has reached beyond the point
of endurance. If Mayer Harrison is rot
equal to the task of quelling the dis
turbers of public decency then he should
resign his office. He is as much too
blame fer the condition of affairs as the
strikers then salves. He IS a demagogue,
for the votes of the violators
of the law.

1t is now reported that Judge Collins
may not resign from the supreme bench.
If there is any truth in this rumor, then
he may as well withdraw his announced
candidacy for governor. The judge has
had experience in trying for the guber-
material nomination while holding fast
to the judgeship, and the result has
been disastrous to his higher ambition.
History will repeat itself if the same
course is determined upon, but The Free
Press is very confident that Judge Col
Inns will resign from the bench in good
time and enter upon an active guberna-
torial campaign. There certainly seems
to have been serious "blundering" on the
part of some of the judges advisors and
through it his cause has not gained in
popularity with the voters. But this
temporary setback may be overcome by
judicious management henceforth.

REMARKS ON THE SIDE.

In an address before the Roman Cath
Ollie Woman'5 league in Chicago yester-
day, Archbishop James E. Quigley made
plea for public sectarian schools. He
would have the state support schools
for Roman Catholics, in which Roman
Catholic religious doctrines would be
taught But if the Roman Catholic state
school, why not the Jewish, the Baptist
the Lutheran, the Methodist, the Theoso-
phistic, etc.? If the function of educa-
ton belongs to the state at all, it must
be exercised without regard to the re-
ligious differences of the population. The
state knows no differences between its
citizens with respect to religion Mime

A LONELY CRUISE.
A Deserted Ship. With Fire in the Hold. Afloat
Over Nine Months.

An extraordinary story relating to
a derelict which has been floating
around the Eastern Sea is related to
a representative of the Chicago Rec
ord-Heyutd by naval officer who has
recently returned from China. Ac-
cording to this naval officer: "The
Fannie Kerr is a four-masted bark of
2,426 tons, built of steel in 1902 at
Liverpool. Commanded by Captain
Gibbons she left Newcastle in April.
1902 with cargo of coal for San
Francisco. She rounded the Horn in
safety. but her cargo caught fire in the
South Pacific. and after trying for
more than a month to extinguish the
flames the ship became so hot that the
captain and crew abandoned her on
the 9Th of June and took to their
boats. They landed at Kauai, an
island in the Hawaiian group. made
their way to Honolulu and secured
passage to San Francisco, where the
captain made his report and the crew
were discharged. He then return to
his home in Bristol. The name OF the
vessel was stricken from the list and
the underwriters paid the full amount
OF insurance. On the 10th of March
last the captain of the steamship
Heathdene, bound from Yokohama to
Formosa. sighted a vessel adrift, from
which smoke seemed to arise Steam
ing toward her he discovered that she
was the long missing Fannie Kerr,
which had been gradually drifting
westward for several thousand miles
for nearly nine months, with her cargo
still on fire. He sent men aboard with
a cable and towed the derelict to the
nearest port. At last accounts the
probability of extinguishing the smold-
ering fire in the cargo of coal was
quite favorable. The Fannie Kerr is
a fine vessel, and, so far as can be
ascertained by outward appearances,
her hull has not been injured"
