thing in it's evenness. The present
alton of the problem which Nora has
to meet, and which she meets with
such tremendous tragedy, turns, after
all, as much upon the weakness of
Torval as it does on the strength of
Nora. The play is so masterfully
written, that it seems too have no
waste spots in it anywhere. But, the
strength of Miss Thropp's Nora,
awful as the part is, compels admiration
in the magnificent art with which she
presents it.
The company is exceptionally we'll
balanced. A company which presents
an Ibsen play must be. Mr.. Hatten-
bach's 'Krogstad," Mr.. Kingsley's
"Doctor Rank'' and Mrs. Shaw's
"Christine. " are all perfect gems of
acting. And Mr.. Pickens' support of
Miss ThrOpp in "Torvald," is most
admirable in it's skillful repressions,
and in it's artful naturalness.

new JAIL READY FOR use.
Building Accepted by Commits
sioners Yesterday.
$50, 900 Structure is One of the
Finest in the State.
Sheriff Julius and His Prisoners
Will Move Soon.

Brown county's new jail is COM
pleted and ready for use. The last
finishing touches were put on this week
and yesterday the magnificent $40, 900
structure was turned over to the county
commissioners by the contractors,
Pullman & Gronau.
The architect, A. j. VanDeusen, was
present and passed upon the completed
work before it was accepted by the
board.
Brown county has now one of the
finest jails in the Northwest and in a
city the size of New Ulm it cannot be
surpassed anywhere. 1t is beautiful
artistically and it's equipment is mod
ern and made for use. 1t is 43x6O
feet in dimensions and two and a half
stories high, with an ample basement.
The Jail is built to accommod ate
twenty prisoners. There are ten cells
arranged on the first and second floors
and in each cell there are two beds.
Ihe steel work was put IN by the Pauly
Jail company of St. Louis and every
door, lock and devise is of the latest
pattern.
Upstairs and downstairs there is a
corridor in which the prisoners may
sit during the day and play cards and
smoke and visit as long as they be-
have themselves, and leading off from
these general corridors are other cor
ridors which in turn lead to the cells.
These are arranged in sets of two with
common toilets.
Sheriff Julius will be housed as no
other sheriff of the county has been,
having home equal to the best in
the city. The front leads into a spaci-
Gus hall, with a magnificent fireplace
and mantel, then off from this hall are
two living rooms on one and parlor

Ibsen is not easy to act. It requires
a degree of art that it is hard to ap-
preciate, to be natural on the stage.
AS the lines are fearfully true to life,
SO the acting must be absolutely nat
ural, or the whole play fails.
TRYING ON ACTORS.
The actor who essays a part in an
Ibsen play must be, not merely a pro-
duct Of the rhetorican, not merely the
puppet of the stage manager: at every
line he must be able to say to himself
with absolute certainty, ''this is what
the man Or woman am playing would
have said and done under just these
circumstances.
The presentation "a Dolls House,
by Miss Thropp and her company is
surprisingly satisfactory. It is diff

on the other side.
In the basement are the dining room
and the kitchen and pantry and the
vegetable room, etc. On the second
floor are four bedrooms and a big
hall. The rooms are furnished
throughout with hard wood and are
heated with steam from the court
house plant. On each floor is bath
room and ample closets.
Sheriff Julius will move from the
old jail as soon as he finds time.
which will be soon, as cold weather is
fast approaching, and will take up his
official residence. At that time also
the prisoners will be transferred to
the new quarters.
The jail will be open tomorrow for
the inspection of visitors from 9 a. m.
to Il and from l to 5 p. m. Commits
sioner Andrew Hoffman, will be in
charge.
John A. johnson has more reason
to feel proud of his victory than has
President Roosevelt. For man to
win outon his personality alone, shows
that the people of his state have not
lost sight of the greatest of all issues
that enter into good government and
that true manhood has higher place
in the government than party creeds
and party ties. People honor a man
who honors his home and whose first
consideration is the care of those who
sacrificed to give him a place in the
affairs of the public. A man who is
kind to his mother and true to his
family is a safe man, and ambition
will not dim the jewel of honor which
that alone bestows.

|BsEN FOR THE FIRST TINE.
"a Dolls House. Given Tonight
at Turner Theater.
Miss Clara Thropp and Company
Present Great Drama.
bison Is Realist and Deals With
Life as He Finds 1t.

Ibsen's great drama "a Dolls
House. is to be presented at the
Turner theater this evening by Miss
Clara Thropp and a company of high
class players, and New Ulm theater
goers will be given chance for the
first time to see a master play from the
pen of the master scandinavian
dramatist.
lbsen goes to the root of things.
Contrary to the plan of the usual dra-
matist, who bases his play on lie,
and draws it to the conclusions which
lie must inevitably produce, Ibsen
bases his play on the truth, and forces
the unwelcome and unpleasant truths
which the truth cannot fail to con-
clude.
In contravention of the usual con-
ventionalities of the mimic stage, it is
Christie and Nels Krogstad who find
the happiness of life, and it is Nora
and Torvald Helmer who smash on
the fatal rocks. This is not like a
play. but it is like life. The awful
lesson of the penalties of honesty are
portrayed with a bravery that of it
self amounts to genius.
NOT ARGUMENT FOR DIVORCE.
IA Dolls House" is not an argu-
ment for separation and divorce. Ib-
sen would not have had Nora and Tor
valid Helmer leave by opposite doors;
he, of all men would have had them
live out their lives supremely happy
in each other and in their children.
Had he been an ordinary maker of
plays, they would. But Ibsen, in
distinction from the rest of the play
writing mob, writes life as it is, and
he has drawn the veil, that we may
see how the hearts of men and women
are, though they beat under the sheen

LilIiputians TomorrowEyenine.

The German Lilliputians will offer at
the Opera house tomorrow evening a
vaudeville bill said to be the funniest
ever. Among the troupe = sixteen
midgets-are singers, dancers, coined

intensely amusing. Little Fritz sings
the latest ballads, Gus does a song

cult to particularize in point of effici-
ency. Of course the largest measure
of responsibility falls to Miss Thropp,
and she meets it fully. But, in the
final analysis of the play so much Of
her work depends upon the adequacy
of her support that one finds himself
wondering what she could possibly do
with her part, if she were deprived of
the sustaining excellence of the cast.
THIRD ACT STRONG.
Of course the play turns on the third
act. There are few stronger scenes in
the drama anywhere than the third act
Of "A Dolls House. And vet it is

The campaign which has just closed
was memorable for the malignity of
the assaults on the republican party's
presidential candidate and on the chief
of the party's campaign managers.
Parker was the first nominee of any
great political organization who has
ever charged an opponent, and that
opponent the president of the United
States, with falsehood and blackmail.
He is the first presidential candidate of
any party, small or great, who has de-
scended into the cesspools of politics
and has thrown mud indiscriminately
at his antagonists. No other presiden-
tial candidate of any party has ever
shriveled into such small compass as
Parker has through the overwhelming
verdict of an indignant people in favor
of the President and the party that he
basely maligned. The canvass of 1904
has hit the Democracy far harder than
did either that of 1896 or that of 1900.
Now, when it ought to begin it's cru
sade for 1908, the democracy is i'm
measurably weaker than it was the day
after the close of the campaign in 1900.
It's leading newspapers, especially in
New York, its political leaders, it's
campaign managers, its tooters and
bankers and mud-slingers are objects
of derision to the great mass of decent,
public-spirited, self-respecting Ameri-
can citizens.

TALE AS TOLD BY BALLOTS
Interesting Things in County Poll
tics Shown.
New Ulm Is Responsible for the
Defeat of w. C.. Miller.
Julius and Vogel Garry Off Honors
as Best Vote Getters.

The story told by the ballots in
Brown county is an interesting one in
many respects and worth studying
closely. Johnson for governor receiv-
ed plurality of 465 votes, much
smaller than many judges foretold.
Still it is remarkable showing when
it is considered that two years ago
Van SAINT carried the county by 292
plurality.
Roosevelt's popularity is not con-
fined to any party, for he secured 1925
more votes than his opponent. Con-
gresham McCleary seems to be strong
er than ever, for while two years ago
he had majority of but 2e2 over
Andrews, this. year he beat Jones by
clean majority of GIG.
S. D. Peterson's victory was clear
one, as he secured a majority of 4O4
over Albert Pfaender. Still Mr..
Pfaender entered the race at late date
and with few weeks more work earlier
IN the campaign doubtless would have
cut more into the Brown county's re-
presentative's vote.
William Julius, who had no oppo-
sition, easily carries off the honors
for the number of votes cast. He Sc
cured 1892 votes: considerable more
than any other candidate on either
ticket. Following him closely is L. G.
Vogel, who considering that he had
an opponent, made a remarkable run.
He polled 2,189, clean majority of 995
over his opponent.
The closest fight in the county was
that on the treasurership. John
Schneider won out but his majority
was cut down to the dangerous figure
of 119. G. M. Seamans also made
good run for judge of probate, and
some of Captain Georges friends were
frightened for a time, but the captain
had no difficulty in coming in on the
home stretch and closed with major
ity of 266.
The surprise of the election was the
defeat of Wesley C. Miller. Mr.. Mil
Ter has made one of the very best
officials in courthouse history but
several things conspired to bring
about his defeat and he lost to A. J.
Schramm by 245 votes. Mr. Miller
was defeated in New Ulm and Spring
field, which together gave Schramm a
majority of 296. In New Ulm the way
Miller was knitted created a great deal
of surprise, but in Springfield,
Schramm's home village, it was ex-
pected. New Ulm went Schramm by
1874, while Springfield gave him 112
majority.
The socialists are jubilant over the
showing made by their party. In the
county 81 socialist votes were cast, and
in New Ulm S. This shows an in
crease in this city of thirty-one.
In New Ulm there was total vote
cast Of 1,031, only little short of the
total registration. In the First ward
the vote was 336, in the Second ward
31o, and in the Third ward 377. The
city gave Roosevelt a plurality of 295
votes and Johnson a plurality of 1913.
Peterson wen out by 78 ballots.
For the first time in it's history
Sleepy Eye went democratic for COVER
nor and gave Johnson a plurality of
los. Springfield stood by Dunn and
helped the republican candidate out
with plurality of sixty. Seamans
for judge of probate here received a
majority of 100.

Some of the republican papers of the
state are not sparing the state central
committee in their criticism of the way
the campaign was conducted. The
blame lies farther back than that; it
lies in the convention that lasted two
days and then produced candidate

LEGISLATION by Edict.

Undoubtedly there are many oppres-
sive and some absurd provisions of
the tariff which should be modified
or wholly repealed, even from the pro.
tectionist point of view. But the tar.
if is fixed by statute, and save where
its rates are exGessly left to the dis
erection of the executive-as in the
Dingley clauses relating to reciprocity
they should be changed, If at all, by
the deliberate, formal and responsible
action of the national legislature. II
is only in substantial despotisms that
laws are at the mercy of the chief
ruler. In Russia "a breath can make
them as a breath has made" 1t should
be different in the United States.
Apparently Mr.. Lodge and President
Roosevelt do not think so. A ruling
was recently made by Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury c. H. Keep, in
tho discharge of his regular duties,
that certain forms of picked sheep
skins" had been advanced beyond the
condition of raw or uncuTed skins, and
therefore were subject to a duty of 20
per cent. He may have been wrong or
he may have been right as to the in
depreciation of the law and the facts;
but it was his duty to interpret them,
and it was neither the duty nor the
right of the President to override his
Interpretation, or in any way to inter
fere with it.
According to the Boston papers, the
President, on the solicitation Of Sena-
tor Lodge, moved by the protests of
manufacturers who use picked sheep
skins, has ordered, in effect, that the
duty be not collected for the present.
In our judgment, any duty ON a mate
rial of manufacture Is a mistake, a
hindrance to enterprise, a check on in
dustry, bar to foreign and domestic
trade, and usually a fine imposed on
one class for the profit of another.
But all the evils Of legislation for pri-
vate advantage are complicated and
made worse by the assumption by the
President of the right to change the
operation Of the law. To be ruled by
laws Of this sort is bad; to be subject
TO rule by edict is worse.

The use of money in elections has
reached point where the honest vot-
er should protest for his own sale
No one believes that the vast sums
rsed in political campaigns are for
legitimate purposes and the voters who
are purchased Offset the many honest
voters and neutralize their hope Of
good government The large sums
paid TO the Republican national com
mittee by the trusts and corporations
Ia the past campaign were not ex-
pended directly by Mr.. Cortelyou, out
were dispersed to the state commit
tees. The state committees in turn
handed out the money to the county
committees; thence 1t found it's way
to the town and precinct workers, and
the debauchery of the venal voters
was thus accomplished.
It is thus important to the honest
voters OF both parties that the trusts
should be really curbed and the first
step will be to take away the monopo-
" most OF them enjoy through the pro
lection the tariff now gives them.
Honest voters Of both parties must de-

PREY OF THE TRUSTS
FARMER VICTIM OF ExToRTIoN
ON ALL SIDES.
Infamous Condition Of Affairs That
Will Never Be Rsmedled, While
Men Who Make Laws Accept "a
Vors From the Railroads.

The railroad combinations are espe.
cially oppressive on the farmers and
stock growers. Competition has been
practically obliterated and freight
rates are beyond what is reasonable.
But the monopolies that are allied
with the railroads are even greater
plunderers Of the agriculturists than
the railroads are, the stock yards,
grain elevators and the car trusts, all
take a slice of the enormous charges
that 1t costs to get agricultural prod
ucts to market. This will never be
remedied until Congressman and state
legislators are elected who are
pledged not to receive passes for
themselves and friends, both before
and after election, which places those,
who should be servants of the people,
under obligations that cannot be ig-
nored when legislation is before them.
The farmer who wants to independent
ly ship carload of grain, or stock,
finds himself hampered in every way.
He has trouble in securing cars when
he calls for them, when loaded that
are delayed and the freight rate takes
a larger percentage of the profits than
should be extorted for the service
rendered.
During the late campaign, the farm.
er, If he has kept his eyes open, has
seen all Republican candidates for
legislative offices riding on free rail
road passes and many Of them have
been backed with cash from the cor
porations. The chairman of the Re
publican National committee has been
charged with receiving vast sums
from the trusts and corporations.
Through him these contributions FL
tered down into the hands of the pre-
cinct managers, and in many cases
were used to buy votes.
The first and greatest reform need.
ed is to stop this partnership between
the politicians and the corporations
and make it a penal offense to receive
such favors and like punishment to
these who give them.
There will never be honesty in po-
litical campaigns until this reform is
accomplished, and it is the first duty
of honest voters to determine they
will not support any candidate who
cannot show a clean bill of health,
free from corporate domination.

"REwARD OF HONEST EFFORT
Profits Of the Trusts Reaped From
Others ESertlons.

SANGIo
The president in his Thanksgiving
proclamation says: Reward has wait
ed upon honest effort" However
much or little reward has been re-
ceived by the ordinary citizen, there
is one class-the combines-that has
reaped large harvest from the honest
efforts Of others, without much effort
of their own. II the president regards
the plunderlng Of the coal trust, the
beef trust, the oil trust, the steel trust
and the hundred other bad trusts as a
result of the honest effort Of these
combinations, he must have overlooked
the special privileges they enjoy that
the balance of us do not. The Repub.
Ecan party has fostered these COM
bines by special protection and the
president and his party refuse to
change one jot or little of the tariff
law that gives the trusts the oppor-
tunity to prey upon the honest efforts
of other people. The reward that has
waited upon trust efforts, no doubt
makes them thankful to the party that
has protected them, and their large
contributions to the campaign fund
was slight return for the favors grant
ed in the past and to be continued IN
the future as long as the president and
his party are in power.
But the ordinary folk-the common
people-are constantly drained of their
substance by the high prices for trust
productions and they would be much
more thankful if they did not see the
favorite class that the president evil
IDENTIFY had in mind when he penned
his proclamation getting more than
their share of what the farmers, the
workingmen and the citizens with linn
tied incomes have earned by their
honest efforts. The president, It
seems from the tenor of his proclama-
ton, would have us give thanks
for being allowed by the trusts and
corporations to work for them, but
what we would really be thankful for
Is chance to have a square deal all
around. That good old Democratic
doctrine of equal rights to all and
special privileges to none" If brought
about, would indeed be cause of end
less thanksgiving, for then the full
reward for honest effort would wait
upon all alike, and the enormous for
tunes of the few would be fairly divid-
ed amongst the many. The honest eff
forts of the combines and corporations
would receive their due reward, but
would not receive more than they are
entitled to and the balance of us
would save about one-third of our in
come that trust high prices now alb.
