WORK OF LEGISLATORS.

The legislature took an ADJOURNMENT
Yesterday until NJ onday. Eight bills
were introduced in the three days
session.
Senator Wilson introduced bill
providing for the submission of a
similar tax amendment to that which
was lost at the last election. Senator
Gjertsen 8 bill abrogates the rule VIII tsi
permits the management of the SOL
diers' home to require old soldiers to
pay the home a portion of their PEN
sions.
Representatives Grandrud and
Haugiand each introduced bills pro-
viding for separate ballots to be used
when voting on constitutional amend
ments. Representative Grandurd also
introduced bill regarding the pur-
chase of bonds with the university
and school funds.
The mileage bill was passed yester-
day. The mileage of the Hennepin
delegation was fixed at thirty miles,
but Representative Gillette informed
the house that his conscience could
stand no more than twenty miles.
This statement precipitated host
of correcting for over estimation.
Committees will be announced Mon
day night.

A Suggestion.

The coal famine continues, and the
future holds out no encouragement for
betterment of the present deplorable
condition. In fact we may look forward
with even more apprehension of worse
things to come. Many consumers placed
orders for coal early in the season for
periodical delivery of fuel and while deal
ers have been able up to the present time
to keep such customers going they have
served notice on all such that they can
give them no assurances for future de-
livery. Thus it is that when the pres
ent nearly exhausted supply runs OFT the
demand will be such as to render fur
ther relief out of the question
What is to be done? The great suf-
ferring among the poor is truly assuming
alarming proportions and instead of get
ting relief the prospects are that con-
ditions will grow worse. T, husband
present supply. and to apply economy
wherever it is possible, should be prac-
ticed by all. 1t has occurred to The Free
Press that it would be well for the vari-
Gus pastors and officers of the city
churches to get together and seriously
consider the propriety of abandoning
church services until such time as relief
from the present shortage in full is af-
forded. There are nearly twenty churches
in Mankato, and to heat these large
structures even one day in the week
means the consumption of a goodly
amount of fuel that may yet be needed
to keep many poor people from freezing.
If it is not thought best to abandon reli-
gious services entire, it would seem that
union services could be held in one OF
two Of the churches, closing the remain

WANTED, COAL, NOT WORDS.

While the people are clamoring,
and rightly SO, for coal, the distin-
guished gentlemen at Washington are
engaged in a fruitless discussion over
the question as to how the duty of
forty cents a ton got into the Dingley
bill. Now if these representatives Of
the people would kindly waive what
ever technecalities which may or may
not exist and arrange for the impor-
,tation of anthracite coal into this
country they will be performing a
great service to their constituency
Senator after senator has taken it
upon himself to announce to his fellow
members that he felt constrained to
talk at length upon the question of
the forty per cent'duty and why and
how it came to be. The public cares
very little about this particular point.
A ton of anthracite would be more
pleasing to the sufferers for the lack of
fuel than a carload of speeches, at this
particular time. The wrangle over
the forty per cent duty is out of place,
and as an attorney would say, incom-
petent, irrelevant and immaterial
The demand of the hour is coal, not
words.

ney to protect the village in its rights

Peter Tribune.
As the railroads have not as yet at
tempted to encroach upon the river
bed the action of the North Mankato
council is premature; and even If
the railroads did start to fill in for the
purpose of laying another track what
could the prosecuting attorney of
Nicollet county do about it2 Possibly
he might be asked to swear out a
warrant for the arrest of the railroads
as that is about as far as his jurisdic-
ton could extend in the matter. that
is if the railroad men were within the
confines of Nicollet county. Under
all the circumstances, however, the
authorities of Nicollet county are
needlessly alarmed.

roREcAsrINc Fos 1908.

The New York Sun of Monday last
contains financial forecast for 1903,
and interviews with a number osbank
presidents and other men familiar
with the financial situation, and all
are of the opinion that the prosperous
times will continue. There is moth
ing in the financial horizon that justi-
ties any apprehension, and belief was
expressed by several of those inter
viewed that the activity in industrial
circles would increase. They reasoned
that there is an opening up of new
countries, which necessarily cannot
develop without an impetuouS to
American trade and commerce.
One gentleman interviewed stated
that one of the greatest dangers to
American prosperity is unwise legisla-
tion, brought on by rash and unwhole-
some agitation. This may mean a
thrust at the discussion of antitrust
legislation that has occupied the at.
tention of senators and congressman.
Among other things Thomas l..
James, president of the Lincoln Ma
tional Bank, said $50 far as the ten
denotes in our business life are con-
cerned, | see no ne to-day that is to be
more encouraged than at any
other time, and none that is to be
more avoided than at any other
time. I am afraid that we have
not yet discovered the best way
to compose permanently the
friction that is constantly developed
between what is called capital and
what is called labor. My own theory
is that both capital and labor are use
less unless there be intellect behind
ths<a; and there must be marriage by
lnS of brains of these energies and
" gentialities before the best results
Zoe produced. / have sometimes
thought that both capital and labor
have been, through passion or pre-
judice, or blind following of tradi-
tion, too little guided by clear intel
lectual illumination.

THE FAMINE. IN SWEDEN.
Aid to, Be rendered the People of
That Country.

Early last fall heavy frost destroy
ed in one night all the crops of the
farming country in the northern
provinces of Sweden. the district
called "Norrland. - Such frosts are
not unusual in these northern chimes,
but this was far the most severe and
left the country in hopeless destitute
condition. Nearly one million people
are famine stricken. The Swedish
government at Stockholm has appoint
ed relief committee to receive and
distribate funds. The people in the
south of Sweden have responded
promptly and literally. The Swedish
American citizens in this country
have commenced raising money for
the relief of the suffering people in
Sweden. Over $4,000 were sent by
them before Christmas and the relief
work is progressing satisfactorily.
At a special meeting of the Swedish
Lutheran, church of Mankato COM
mittee was appointed to solicit sub
scriptions. The committee consists of
the following persons: Rev. A. E.
Ericsson, pastor of the church, Alfred
Lind, Mrs. John Peterson and o.
Larson. AS it is not possible for
the committee to see all who might
be willing to give something, it has
been arranged that anyone who will
contribute to the relief fund can leave
such contributions at The Free Fress
Office or the Office of The Mankato
Review any time during the month

GET RID OF BAD RUBBISH.

In an editorial on the application
of Cole Younger for a pardon, The st.
Paul Globe. says:
1.-THE Globe has no hesitation in
urging on the members of the pardon
ing board, on the score of public policy
and me. cy alike. that they grant the
petition of the surviving brother of
the Youngers the poor favor of allow
ing him, an old and broken man. to
spend his last days in his, native state
and smong his friends. We're the
policy of the law in such cases purely
tunitiye the plea of Cole Younger
would still have much to sustain it.
But reformation, more than punish
ment, is the end sought by society in
such cases. And in that view it will
seem to most men, as it must inevita-
bly, seem to Younger himself. that
the denial of his appeal is the mere ex-
preston of official and public i'm
placability.

DEFENDS GARDEN CITY.
Claims That Ants Are Responsible
For All The Ills.

The Free Press is in receipt of an
other communication from Garden
City. 1t is in answer to the gentle
man who sought to make out that in
corporation is responsible for all the
ills that the town has suffered. The
following communication is defense
of the town and strong one at that
81 see by your issue of the seventh
that some poor misused anti -incor-
poration angel has long tale of woe
as to the demise of po,r Garden City.
He begins with our newspaper. Who
killed it? The antis. By stopping
their paper, getting their job work
done elsewhere, or patronizing little
two by twice JOB press run in the attic
of private residence. and charging
him two rents for enc house. The in
corporation patry upheld him to
man. Also the anti enlarged twenty
FIVE per cent on orr stores. We had
three, and have two now He says
we had three hardware .tores They
are all doing business, yet He says
we he'd three blacksmith shops. The
same men are all working. One of the
blacksmiths, an anti, bought one of
the shops and locked it up ~ suppose
to help build up the town. TIE har-
ness shop spoken of never was a very
extensive affair. The harness laaker
was also the cobbler. The people took
their patronage to other towns. hence
the vacancy. The stock dealer dealt
principally with the farmers. +. Can
the SIN .rt man tell me how incorpor-
alton has anything to do with the
stock business? Also three feed mills.
We had two and both are here yet,
both owned by an anti. No law to
compel him to run both unless he
wants to. As to the drug store we
have never had anything. but an ex-
cuse for one and that was closed be-
fore the village was incorporated. One
of the doctors spoken of was clergy
man and a. very good man at that.
His work was all charity. He was
friend of incorporation and believer
of advancement and progress. as all
friends Of prosperity should be. Our
painters and stone masons are here
and ready for the spring trade. The
decrease in valuation is pipe dream.
The writer is pleased to note the good
advice given by The Free Press 10 the
residents Of Garden City. What this
village needs is unity of the people.
Let each man work for the good Of
his own town and its people, Lay all
petty strife aside. Show yourselves
men in action as we'll as form. Let
the new year mark the change and
you will be happier, Weather and
better men for so doing. The friends
of progress will meet you more than
half way and fill the bloody chasm
with the follies of the past Will you
do it9''

Members of the legislature passed
the mileage bill yesterday and then
they proceeded to the treasurer s
Office, hoping to Draw their money,
but were doomed to disappointment,
Governor Van SAINT having refused
to sign the bill because it was not in
proper form. Several of the gentle
men who have been loud in their de-
nunciation of railroads announced
that they would be compelled to use
their passes in order to reach home to
spend Sunday. Representative Ny
quist was among the number whose
funds were quite low, he giving it
out that fifty cents was all the money
that he had in his possession and that
he would have to borrow in order to
get home and secure some more cash.
