contract to the lowest bidder. He
believed that ninety per cent of the
property owners would favor the Nc
Carthy company.
Mr.. Carpenter said that his company
would endeavor to have the work com
pleted in sixty days.
Alderman Kleinschmidt spoke of the
Investigations of the committee on the
Winnipeg trip, and said that Engineer
Rutan preferred to pay fifteen cents
yard more for the Venezuela asphalt
than for the Acme, although the latter
was good if properly mixed.
Alderman Coy favored letting the
contract to the lowest bidder.
Mr.. Mccarthy said that Acme has
been largely used in different cities and
gives good satisfaction, and his COM
pany could do as good job as any
other company.
City Engineer Thompson explained his
position. Two years ago the specifica-
tions had been restricted to Pitch lake,
and the Barber company had done
good Job on Broad street. This year
the specifications were thrown open. The
Mccarthy company bid 10 cents yard
on asphalt and "a cents yard on brick
cutters lower than the Barber company,
and he saw no other way than to let the
Mccarthy company have the contract.
Mr.. Jordan insisted on knowing
whether the Mccarthy company could
perform the contract this fall.
Mr. Mccarthy said that his company
would agree to do the work in sixty
days if the weather is favorable.
L. Patterson asked whether the Bar
Der company does not use California as
phalt in some places. Mr.. Carpenter re-
piled that it does in California, where the
climate is mild, and the material con-
venient.
L. G. M. Fletcher did not see any rea-
son for haste 1t would be better to
have the work we'll done, even if we
wait until spring.
There was some discussion about let
ting the work begin in the spring, and
waiting for the street car tracks to be
laid, but Engineer Thompson said that
jackson and Broad streets can be COM
pleted this fall, and if thought best
Front street can 60 over until spring
The gas mains will all have to be over
hauled before paving is done, which
takes time.
j. w. Schmitt said that some of the
property owners would be pleased il
the matter was deferred.
Mr.. Jordan moved that the letting OF
the Front street contract be deferred
but this received no second, and the mo.
tion to award the contracts to the Nc
Carthy company was then carried, two
to one.
Alderman Mckinley is coming home
and Mayor Taylor expects to call spec
| ial meeting of the council Monday to
close the matter up. Mr.. Mccarthy viii
have his bonds ready for approval by

APPEALS TO THE PRESIDENT.
McCIeary Wanted to Know What
Roosevelt Thinks Of Tariff Plank.

Roosevelt Thinks of Tariff Plank.
From Fridays Daily.
The st. Paul Dispatch last evening
published the following telegram:
New York, Aug. 26.- Congressman Nc
Cleary, of the second Minnesota district
is here on political mission. After two
or three conferences with Chairman j.
w. Babcock regarding campaign assign
ments Mr. McCleary went to the. home of
President Roosevelt, having requested an
interview in advance.
Thus far no assignment for Mr.. Me-
Cleary to speak in the Vermont and
Maine campaigns have been made, as
was intimated they would be in press
dispatches some time ago. Congressman
j. Adam Bede has been sent to these
states by the national committee.
Mr.. McCleary's one minute tariff
speech is subject of some consideration
by the republican national and congress
sional committees. 1t is understood that
there are some congressional districts
where it is not deemed advisable to cir
culate it. The statement in this speech
is printed in italics that revision or tar
iff upward can always be undertaken
safely" does not meet with general APP
prevail by members of the congressional
committee
1t is claimed if Mr. McCleary is to be
taken to mean that an upward revision
of existing tariff schedules can be under
taken safely by the next congress, there
is not member of the committee who
would favor such declaration. The fact
that McCleary is opposed for renomina-
ton and that his republican opponent
has challenged his radical position on the
tariff is causing considerable comment.
1t is well understand that Mr.. Nc
Cleary came to talk with President
Roosevelt regarding the situation. 1t
is said that the congressman wanted to
get some definite statement from the
president regarding his construction of
the tariff plank of the national republi
can committee relative to the term
changed conditions" In other words Mr..
McCleary would like to 60 home and tell
the voters of his district that President
Roosevelt Endorsed the proposition that
revision upward can always be safely

AN AUTOMOBILE TRIP.
Party Enjoys Quick Ride to lie Sueur
and Return.
From Fridays Daily.

A Trip TO LIE Sueur center yesterday
in H. A. Patterson's automobile was
most enjoyable ride. The country is
beginning to put on an autumn appear
ance, made so from the fact that all
small grain is cut and what is not in
stack is being threshed from the shock.
Farmers are rushing their wheat into
market to take advantage of the high
prices, and it is said that the Center ele-
vator men are getting a big share of
business. The stand of corn along the
seen in southern Minnesota, and with
ten days more ripening weather will be
out of the way of frost.
The county seat of lie Sueur county is
having a healthy growth, and bids fair
to be the best commercial point in that
county. The new bank building put up
last winter by Mr.. L. Patterson and his
associates in the First National bank is
little gem. 1t would do credit to a city
of 5000. 1t is steam heated, two stories
high and covers a ground area of 50x70
1t is differed by thoroughly responsible
men, and has among its directorate some
of the most solid men in
this and LIE Sueur county
Uncle Sam transacts his business in this
building and a handsome clothing and
gents furnishing house is also quartered
therein. The second story is given up
to office rooms, and Attorney Fender
CAST, son-in- law to our townsman, A, R.
Pfau, has very cosy suite.
Mr.. Weber, a very public spirited
citizen, is just completing fine double
front brick building, two stories high,
and when completed will be as fine
structure as the village can boast. A
part of it will be occupied by the other
bank in the village which is also
thoroughly reliable monetary institution.

GRATED, and is Occupied by a set of coun-

in point of efficiency and courteous
bearing. Altogether, LIE Sueur Center is
possessed of thrifty, go-ahead class of
residents who propose to bring their
village TO the front, now that they are
blessed with railroad facilities. No
richer farming section can be found any
where than is that contiguous to the
Center, and with good markets the town
cannot fail to grow in Importance.
The distance from Mankato to lie
Sueur Center is twenty seven miles, and
the run was made in one hour and for
ty-fve minutes. The country is very
rolling with a number of steep hills, and
while no effort to make speed WIS at

MAY TOUCH ARRIVES.
Applies to the Police for Aid, and Then
Slips Away.

FROM Saturdays Daily.
May Fouch, who has been causing con-
siderable talk in the Twin Cities by
her stories of alleged hardship in the
family of farmer living in this coun-
ty, and who claims to be looking for her
mother, came to Mankato last evening.
She wanted to get into the hospital, and
while communications were being ex-
changed between the various officials,
she slipped out of the city hall and
did not return.
This woman, who is about twenty five
years old, has been in the city several
times before, and the authorities do
not know what to do with her. She is
strong woman and could work if she
wanted to, but she appears to be slight
ly unbalanced mentally. No credence is
placed in her stories.

H. J. MILLER FOR CONGRESS-.
More Newspapers Lend Their Supper
to the Luverne Man.
From Saturdays Daily.

The second congressional district is
the seat of what seems to be the van
guard of congressional fight this fall
The cause of the high state of anti-Mc-
Cleary feeling that permeates the dis
trict is the attitude taken by that gen.
tleman on the tariff question. Mr.. Nc
Cleary has been sent to congress by the
second district for twelve years and he
has continually advocated the policy OF
a high protective tariff, with revision
upward but not downward as his motto
Mr.. McCleary during the twelve years
he has been the congressman from this
district has not secured the passage of
a single bill through congress that has
been beneficial to the people of the sec
ond district, in fact he has not introduc-
ed such a bill
recently come into prominence before the
people of this district as a candidate for
the position Mr.. McCleary has filled. Mr..
Miller makes the tariff the issue of the
campaign and is earnest in his appeal
to the people, that the tariff should be
revised to meet the demands of the
different industries of our state, but un-
like Mr.. McCleary he stands for a de-
crease in the tariff schedule. Mr.. Miller
makes the following statement in this
regard in his announcement, published in
full in previous issue of The Journal:
Il hold that while the principles of pro-
lection are sacred, tariff rates are not
infallible and that these rates should be
changed as often as existing conditions,
whether growing out of the formation of
the trusts or otherwise, render the fur
Their continuance of the present duty
on any article unnecessary" He states
that the time is ripe for the revision of
the tariff, and that the "stand pat" SEN
timent of Mr.. McCleary is dangerous to
the interests of the district and state.
McCleary's policy has been to continu-
ally advocate policy that is detrimen-
al to the interests of his constituents,
this district being essentially an agricul-
tural region the high tariff rates are
burden and should be lowered. The high
rate on lumber and machinery advocated
by McCleary is inconsistent and only
proves that he is not in touch with the
interests of this district.-Brown Coun-

A prominent politician of the Second
district gives it as his opinion that H.
j. Miller of Luverne, will be the next
congressman from that district. He gives
his reason for believing that McCleary
will be defeated that "the majority of
the republicans in that district are
against the stand-pat ideas of the present
incumbent" which they believe to be in
the interest of the big corporations
and gigantic trusts. "-Lamberton Star.

BUILDING UP OUR MARINE.

| Tacoma is deeply interested in the inquiry as to
what can be done to re-establsh the American mer-
chant marine on the high seas, says the Ledger. 1t
is matter of pride to every citizen Of the country
that we have foreign commerce. and are the largest
Exporting nation ON earth But it is source of
humiliation that less than 10 per cent Of foreign
trade is handled in American bottoms This means
that are paying tribute to the nations whose YES
sells carry traffic II also means that we are sub
ject to their whm or caprice. Suppose there should
be war or international complications that diverted
the foreign ships that we patronize from their pres
ent routes. Our foreign trade would be paralyzed
for the time being. We are not masters of our own
commerce when we handle but a small proportion of
it in American ships.
One Of the methods proposed to remedy the situa-
tion is to allow drawback or reduction of duty ON
imports brought to this country in American ships
This would not work Our total imports for 1902-3
valued at 81 OPS 237, of which $4O6 1SO979
were free of duty. Some ports handle larger share
of imports that are free of duty than Others. For
instance the leading imports from the Orient at Ia
coma are raw silk, tea, hemp and mating Raw silk,
tea and hemp enter free of duty. Mating pays |
tax. The imports of the Puget Sound district for
the year 1923 were valued at $12 243 of which
only $2,6S9 ,154 worth was dutiable larger pro-
portion of the merchandise sent through to interior
ports without appraisement was dutiable, but not
enough to bring the average anywhere near up to the
ratio of dutable to total imports for the country to
large.
The best form Of encouragement is for the gov
to grant liberal contracts for carrying the
mails, transporting government troops and supplies
and for the privilege of taking over the vessels as
auxiliary cruisers or transports if required in case
IF war. The government was terribly soaked"
when it needed vessels for the Spanish war or for the
in the Philippines. The millions of
loars paid for old foreign ships then would have
zone long way toward supplying merchant ma
inc that would have been of timely service to the
government in its emergency.

were accepting big risk. They knew no reasonable
ground for complaint at the capture of their vessel
and the state department will take only such action
as viii insure recognition of the international code
governing seizures
The exporters who are sending stuff to the bel
igerents are doing so in direct violation of the law
They are just as amenabe to the law as highway
men, The idea that the United States government
will protect them in what is at best nefarious traf-
fc is absurd The sympathy of the people of this
country may be with Japan, but this circumstance
does not mean that exporters are to be allowed
to violate international law. The charterers merely
took chance that the Arabia would escape capture
They have lost. This may be regarded by some of
us as cause to bring the government into the far
eastern muss, but right thinking people win consider
it fitting finale to what at best is dsreputabe busi-
ness.

THE RETURN TO NATURE.

No man who worked out plan for living a
hundred years ever carried out his program because
death cut short his experiments Thousands of per-
sons who had no plans have lived over the century
mark. Some of the most eminent Of the health
theorists went to early graves, says the Saturday
Evening Post
What wonder, then, that so little attention is paid
to the increasing multiplicity Of rules about food
and exercise, and how prone are we to enjoy the
mot of Evarts, who, when asked if it were not in
furious to drink SO many different wines at banquets
retorted, ut is the Indifferent wines fear" It is
folly of course, to turn deaf ear to the voice of
experience, and every wise man benefits by the
wealth of information that science has placed before
us; but there is real difficulty in choosing between
the aboundng contradictions Hardly two sets of
rules agree and the various fads are always at war
Good, plain food, however, needs no prescription; );
temperance in eating and drinking means safety J;
regularity justifes ITSELF constant employment isl
the only remedy against fretting, and strong pur-
pose and enthusiasm in work give wings to time and
youth to old age. The great problem in modern
medicine is immunity, the prevention Of disease by
keeping the body strong and natural; and people
are wisely unlearning their past mistakes, and shun
ming medicines and drugs and nostrums as they
wond posons and other dangers foreign to the needs
and profits of the human body
1t may be that after few more generations of
progress men and women will become as wise as
those simple ancestors who lived before their jokes
got into the patent-medicine almanacs.

drills are given daily with new 12-
inch breech-loading rifle on a dlsap-
pearing carriage, in the fortihcations
built especially for this exhibit near

ing is done, as the concussion from
this gun would cause great havoc
among the Worlds Fair buildings, but
percussion caps are used to show the
complete process of loading and firing.

A great cry has gone up because the Russian

which sailed from coast ports with cargoes for

port, has evoked much adverse comment, and there

that the Russian soldiers cannot get

In this territory, says the New York

will. The country is more passable in
winter than in summer, for it is ira
versed BY numerous rivers and marsh

frozen over, unless the traveller carries
his boat on his back But with the
coming of winter the Lapps utilize the

their travels. They know the best

shelter may be afforded for a weeks
