GIVEN REELECTION
Messrs. Weiser and Krook Re.
turned to School Board.
Matter of Shortening School Year
up For Discussion.
Left to Board to Reduce Length of
Term to Nine Months.

Very little interest was manifested
in the annual school election held
Saturday afternoon and evening in the
assembly room at the high school
building. Only Il votes were cast and
there was no opposition to the regular
nominees. DR.. G. B. Weiser and @.
W. A. Krook were both honored by
being given reelection unanimous
and they will continue to participate
in the management of the district IS
affairs for the next three years.
In spite of the small attendance,
however, one important question was
up for consideration. 1t was intro
duced by Prof. A. F. Rein, secretary
of the board, who stated that it was
desired to get the views of the people
in regard to shortening the school
year from ten to nine months. Here in
New Ulm it has been customary to
keep the pupils at work all but two
months in the year but in the great
majority of other cities in the state
the term is limited to nine months.
In order to accommodate these
schools the state board of education
requires that the state examinations
be held in May One of their rules is
that the questions be sent out in time
for the tests to begin on the third
Monday ofsthe month in all schools
and this arrangement has democrat
izing effect upon the local system.
After the examinations have been
completed the students feel that their
school work has been finished and they
rapidly lose interest. Only with great
difficulty is it possible for the teachers
to keep up the attendance and very
little actual advancement is made, the
remaining time being devoted largely
to a review of the years studies and
to preparing for the commencement
and closing exercises.
He laid the matter before the meet.
ing plainly and a lengthy discussion
followed, DUNG which Prof. E. T.
Critchett informed those present that
there was now some talk of doing
away with the state examinations alto
gether: The certificates issued are moi
really essential to a student as any
graduate, of ahigh school may enter the
University of Minnesota on the merits
of his diploma, and without presenting
| his certificates to obtain entrance.
Apparently the sentiment was il
favor Of shortening the term if the
conditions remain the same but if il
is decided to do away with the ex.
aminations the ten months term is not
regarded as being too long. The
matter was left to the board to take
such action as they deemed advisable
and it was voted to hold future annual
meetings between the hours Of Z and 6
O'Clock p. m. on the third Saturday in
July. Fl

REVIEWED THE SECOND
General Bobleter and Staff Were at
Lake City Saturday.

Brigadier General Bobleter travelled
to Lake City last Friday to review the
Second Regiment, in camp at Lake
View. He was accompanied from here
by the three local members of his
staff, Major L. G.. Vogel, Capt. A. J.
Eckstein and Capt. Einar Hoidale.
The other members metthe commander
in-chief at Lake City and the staff was
then assembled for the first time since
the appointments were made.
Saturday afternoon Gen. Bobleter
inspected the camp Of the Second and
had the regiment pass in review be-
fore him. In the evening a band con-
cert was given in his honor and he
was called upon to address the officers
of his old command. Sunday the staff
was inspected by an officer of the
United States regular army and fol-
lowing this Col. Wright gave a fine
regimental drill, lasting for more than
an hour.
Speaking of his trip Gen. Bobleter
expressed himself as highly pleased
with the work of the regiment which he
commanded SO long. Col. Wright took
491 men to camp with him this year
and the companies were better averaged,
numerically, than those of any other
regiment. All the companies were
handicapped, however, by an I'M
usually large number Of raw recruits.
In this respect Company A, which was
the largest in camp with IS men, Jared
very badly, but he was agreeably
surprised to note the improvement
which h had been effected during the few
days spent at Lake Pepin.
The review rendered him was very
satisfactory, while Gov. Van SAINT
expressed the greatest appreciation
over the appearance Of the regiment
upon the parade given for his benefit.
Gen. Bobleter found the camp III the
best of condition and the discipline Of
the regiment excellent.

Contributions to the public library
continue to come in and the manage
ment of that institution is greatly
encouraged by the interest taken in it
by the citizens of this place. The time
will come when the city will have a
public library commensurate with the
needs and desires of the people and
one in keeping with the majority Of
the citizens and then perhaps the few
men whom accident has given power,
with their children, will be able TIC

pie are not discouraged, even if the
council does refuse to recognize the
library as a Benefit to the city.

Some people never. know which side
of the bread is .buttered. They borrow
their neighbours paper, look at the
local news and then allow their neigh
Dor to send for his paper Saturday
comes along and the usual trip to
town is made, with the accompanying
purchases. A shrewd merchant knows
man who never reads a paper as
soon as he sees him, and that man
seldom hears of ''bargain. He
gets the first thing he sees and pays
the regular price. Then the thrifty
man who reads his own paper comes
along and calls for that little bargain
the merchant offered as a leader. The
amount saved in one purchase would
pay the cost of the paper for year.

Whatever may be said against Jim
Hill as a manipulation of trusts, there
is this to say in his favor: He knows
how to develop the country through
which his road passes. Not content
with furnishing the farmers with thor
ough bred stock, he each year gives
them a free ride to the agricultural
school, where they are able to get the
best information regarding the new
questions relative to their work This
is one of the best features of the Great
Northern road, and while others may
find the road to be rigid in all its
rules, the farmers are treated as
though they are the real owners Of
the stock in the road, as they are in
truth the real supporters of all the
roads in this country, directly and
indirectly, and Mr.. Hill has the wis
dom to see that where they prosper he
is to have a share in that prosperity.

Returns from the county indicate
that there is going to be great short
age of corn. Upon this product the
dairying interests of the county large
ly depend. This shortage could, in a
measure, be made up if the farmers
would build silos and then preserve
the fodder corn which will, if left to
mature the ears, be caught by the
frost. The feeding of ensilage is reck-
oned to be one of the most profitable
food products there is and it seems
strange that farmers in this section
are SO unacquainted with it. No fea-
ture of the Farmers Institute is more
strongly brought out than this and,
perhaps: because it requires a little
labor to prepare it, the silo is least
thought Of and seldom attempted.

Fine Political Economy.

In an address before the inter-
national Customs Congress Secretary
Show expressed a sound and import
ant truth when he said:
There is no greater blessing to any
people than a high-priced labor. The
commercial importance of a country Is
measured by the consumptive capacity
of its people, and annual income is
the test of consumptive CAPACITY, and
annual income is determined by the
standard of wages"
An excellent doctrine admirably
stated. For more than FIVE years the
United States has continuously ex-
hibited the tremendous volume OF high
priced labor fully employed. 1t is to
keep labor prices high and provide
the maximum of employment that our
present economic system is intended.
when the republic does its own work
there will always be an abundance Of
work and at high prices. Result: Pros
perity for everybody.

Protection for All.

The American Free-Trade league
has recently held a meeting in Bos-
ton and again adopted resolutions de-
manding that the duties on certain
articles, among them beef, be re-
moved. This is the usual routine of
the Free-Trade league, which is al
ways demanding the removal of duties
from articles which are not produced
by the people of their own vicinity.
The Free-Trade league is largely COM
posed of New England people, and it
is notable fact that they are always
ready to demand the removal of duties
on articles produced in some other
section of the country, and entirely
overlook the shoe pegs and wooden
nutmegs and other articles produced
by the manufacturers of New England.
There is only one thing to the credit
of these free-trades-they do not at
tempt to masquerade as tariff Ere
formers"
To be consistent, the members OF
this free-trade association should de-
mand the repeal or aDolltlon Oh all
protective duties and take in the man.
ufactures of New England as well as
the raw materials of the West. If the
duty is to be abolished on the cattle
that come in competition with the
products of the Western ranges 1t
should be abolished on the boots and
shoes manufactured in New England
from their hides. II the free-traders
and "reformers" of New England
would have free wool for their manu-
features, they should also demand that
the duty be taken from manufactured
wooden goods, and that the cheap Ger
man and English and French fabrics
be allowed to come in and compete
with their own manufacturers. =

means for trimming the protective
tariff. He does not believe that the
Republican party will consent to the
trimming of its magnificent protective
system, even If undertaken under any
such fair-sounding word as reciprocity,
but he sees in the rising tide in the
Northwest something which must be
driven back and fought out by the Re-
publican party. Closely in line with
his views is the resolution recently
adopted at the annual meeting of The
American Protective Tariff League"
Senator Burton looks the situation
squarely in the face and sees it as it
Is. This time the issue is not be-
tween parties, it is inside of the Re-
publican party. 1t Is not Democrats,
but Republicans which have to be
fought. A singular condition, truly.
What brought it about? Too much
PROSPERITY, coupled with chasing after
foreign trade. Incidentally there was,
we believe, something heard about
Solemn obligations" national honor"
relief" ETC., but those are things OF
the past. They were bogus, any
how, and did not last long. But the
fight inside the Republican party is
not bogus. 1t is the real thing.

up as during the last few weeks.

particulars of which are best told in
the following statement which Mr.
Gray has just published:

as a little babe. l had been ailing
with Kidney Trouble for many years,
and it finally turned to Bright's Dis

Pills and this first box helped me out

Everybody expected that Mr.. Gray
would die and his remarkable recovery
is regarded as little short of miracle
by all who know how very low he was.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly a
wonderful remedy.

REPEAL OF COAL DUTIES.
How the Matter Is Regarded on the
Pacific Coast.

The attack upon the coal duties is
clamorous and concerted. The tempo
rary coal famine in various parts of
the country has been seized upon by
the so-called tariff reformers, dis
guised free-traders, as affording an eX-
cellent opportunity to make breach
in the wall of protection by bringing
about the removal of duty which is
not in the interests of any one save
the coal producers and coal miners OF
the state of Washington. The coal
duty is a matter of Indifference to coal
operators in the East. Their adj
vantages are such they will always
remain unaffected by any foreign COM
petition With us it is different. The
duty on coal is the sustaining prop
to an industry which directly affords
support to 5000 men in this state, and
industry to probably as many more.
We have here to meet competition
such as no other protected industry OF
the United States has to encounter
The vessels which come to the Pacific
coast from Great Britain or Australia
bring coal in lieu of ballast. and the
freight charge upon such coal is mere
~ nominal. The lowering of the duty
to 40 cents, under the Wilson-Gorman
law, resulted in nearly doubling the
amount of British and Australian coal
which entered the markets of the Pa
ctfic Every ton of this foreign coal,
so entering, displaced ton of Wash
ington coal. and TO that extent de-
prived Washington miners of employ
ment. No industry in the United
States suffered so severely from the
lowering of duties under the Demo
cratic tariff bill as did the coal mining
industry of Washington, and yet the
Democratic tariff bill still left duty
of 40 cents upon imported coal.
Now it is proposed to take off every
cent of this protection; to wipe the
profit of foreign shipowners and at the
expense of the people of Washington.
