WILL ECONOMIST BE RIGHT?

The American Economist, published
under the direction of the American Pro
tective Tariff league, in its issue of Sept.
30, devOtes considerable space to the late
contest i'll the second congressional dis
trict, and of course glories in the success
achieved by Representative McCleary at
the primaries. The article contains sew
eral inaccuracies, which should be cor
rected by The Economist, if it desires to
have the reputation of being reliable
publication. The candidacy of Herbert J.
Miller was not backed by money both in
side and outside of the district. Mr..
Miller was not assisted by corporate in
fluences nor did he have thousands of
dollars with which to carry OH his cam
paign.
Again The Economist says: ''Mr Nc
Cleary made the fight along the line of
no tariff revision downward and no rec
iprocity with Canada or any other
country that involves the remission of
tariff duties on competitive products. AS
the result of his splendid campaign of
education, wherein he addressed himself
directly to the farmers and their inter
est in the maintenance of protection on
competitive products of the soil, Mr.. Nc
Cleary swept everything before him. In
the primaries which determined the re-
nomination he carried all the eleven
counties of the district and polled double
the votes polled by his competitor"
The Free Press is rather surprised that

WHY HE SUPPORTS ROOSEVELT

Down in Iowa there is a man named
of President Roosevelt, and he gives
some most excellent reasons why he is
supporting Mr.. Roosevelt in this COM
paign. Mr. Maxwell is a democrat and
he resigned from the state central COM
mittee in the fact of unanimous in
dorsement for the position of chairman.
He will do some campaign work for
Roosevelt in several western states. Mr..
Roosevelt attracted Mr.. MaXwell's at
tention when the former was police COM
missioner in New York city, and on the
civil service commission. There is where
Mr.. Roosevelt made record for doing
thingc Mr.. Maxwell states that he is
supporting the president because of his
intense Americanism, and if elected
Roosevelt will give the people an admin
istration that will be progressive and
this spirit will permeate the whole peo-
pie. a great many of the people of
Iowa, and other states, believe that
there should be steady progress in the
tariff and the foreign policy, and in all
branches of the government, and judging
by his past record and by his utter
ances, by his letter of acceptance, and
by all that he has ever said and done
President Roosevelt will come nearer to
giving the American people just what
they want than will Parker. Mr..
Maxwell explains why there can hardly
be any hope of the republicans carrying
Missouri for Roosevelt. Democrats fear
that vote against Folk, candidate for
governor, will be accepted as a rebuke
to his fight on boodleism

BLUE EARTH'S SHARE.
County Will Receive S12,49 {
School Apportionment.
From Wednesdays Daily.

There are 1885 more children at
tending the Minnesota schools than
there were last year, according to the
figures compiled yeterday by the state
superintendent of public instruction
These figures have been compiled by the
department of public instruction for the
purpose of ascertaining the number OF
pupils entitled to receive the apportion-
ment of the general school fund for De-
tober, 1904.
The apportionment this year is lC
cents per pupil less than last year
Each pupil receives 1920 as against
$3.50 last year. The increase in the
number enrolled made it necessary to
fix on the lower rate. The total appor-
tionment for the state on the total en-
rollment of 364.592 pupils is $500, 40
OF a decrease of $S,S93.60 over last
year.
Blue Earth county has an enrolment
of $3.50 and the apportionment is $l2,-

money she had earned teaching in the

very anxious to go and begin studying
how she could raise the money and final

that if she would secure them six hun

would pay the expenses of her trip. This

to her friends to help her, hence her let

NEW ULM'S FIFTY YEARS.
Golden Jubilee Will be Celebrated
There Friday Evening.
From MONDAYS Daily.

The old settlers will meet in Turner
hall next Friday evening to celebrate the
fiftieth anniversary of the settlement of
New Ulm. The committees have been
making extensive preparations for this
gathering of the surviving first settlers
as well as the juniors, or children of the
early pioneers. They will convene at six
o'clock and a banquet will be served in
the banquet rooms of the hall, during
which speeches and toasts will be made.
As there will be in the neighborhood of
three hundred present who will be en-
titled to participate in this banquet, and
the room in the banquet room will not
accommodate this large a number, the
committee, who have the arrangements
in hand, have come to the conclusion
that those juniors whose parents are
present at the festivities will be Civ
en- the preference over the other juniors
as far as the banquet is concerned.
After the banquet is over, which will
be about eight o'clock, program will
be rendered, consisting of the following
numbers: Overature, orchestra; adj
dress, Col. William Pfaender; song,
mixed chorus; tableaux, music, orches-
ira; German recitation, song, mixed
chorus.
The committee on arrangements
expect to put physical culture num-
Der on the program also. After the pro-
gram is completed the original set
tiers will be presented with a memento
of the occasion in a presentation speech
by Albert Steinhauser. This will COM
plete the evenings amusement with the
exception of dance that will be partici
pated in by those who are so inclined.
The general public will be permitted
to be present during the festivities and
the program, but cannot participate in
the banquet. The general admission
will be one dollar couple. Those par
ticipating in the banquet will be assess
ed one dollar a plate. The event is
looked forward to as one of the most
ENJOYABLE affairs that will take place the
present season, as many of the old set
tiers. as well as their children will be
present on this occasion in honor of
the first establishment of a settlement
on our present townsite. Ulm

recently arrested in this city and taken
to Albert Lea to answer to the charge
of jumping board bill. Chief Donahue

SOME POLITICAL GOSSIP.

The St. Paul Daily News of
last Friday published some in
teresting political gossip in which
the name of Representative McCleary
figures quite prominently. The
mention of the representatives name in
connection with the United States SEN
atorship is not new, but now it is alleg-
ed that McCleary is doing some figuring
with Joel p Heatwole The News says
that Senator Nelson's persuasion of
James A. Martin to get on the Dunn
band-wagon for the good of the party
ciates the fact that the fight on Moses
f. Clapp means a fight on Nelson, too
Returns from the primary election
show that so many of the republican
nominees, who are unopposed, practical
ly at the final election, are openly pledg-
ed to Clapp, that it would be impractic-
able for Joel Heatwole to beat Clapp
without making combination against
| Nelson as we'll.
And Senator Nelson has his suspicious
that McCleary is the man with whom
Heatwole has figured promising COM
bination.
1t would raise the objection, if Heat
wole beats Clapp, that McCleary's cleo
ton would give the southern part OF
the state two senators, but that would
not make any difference to Heatwole's
friends, and McCleary believes that the
tariff lines will be so definitely drawn
at that time that questions of local ge-
ography will be lost sight of.

Tw,ntx Billions In Trusts.

The latest Investigator Of the trust
problem, Mr.. John Moody, in his
recent volume, "The Truth About the
Trusts" states the total capitaliza-
tion Of the great corporations Of the
United States at a little more than
twenty billion dollars. There are 3lS
industrial trusts with capital Of Il
billion dollars; Ill franchise trusts
with a capital Of 81 billions, and six
great railroad groups with capital Of
9 billions. Trust capitalization is, OF
course, in excess Of the real value Of
the properties. But taking the stock
at its face value, the corporations con-
troll one-tifth Of the wealth Of the
United States, as estimated by the
bureau Of statistics.
This is not the whole story. AS the
the Wall Street Journal has pointed
out, trust wealth controls in large
measure all other forms of invested
capital Through control Of the
banks, the railroads and the leading
industrial companies, the directors of
these trusts practically direct the
business Of the country" This con-
troll is the more evident when it is re-
membered that about 1000 million
dollars is held by the Rockefeller
family and that the greater share of
the 20 billions is represented by a
group OF about dozen capitalists"
Here are factors Of a va + and COM
pick problem. These dominating
capitalists, it is true, are subject to
the great laws Of business. They are
by no means an absolute oligarchy.
Yet their power is so great that they
can profoundly affect the prosperity
and the political institutions Of the
country. The question before the
people is how to keep the trusts within
bounds, how 10 prevent them from
acquiring unjust privileges and from
practlcing eXt0rtion, bow TO make
them always subordinate to the law
in short, how 10 protect the individual
in the exercise Of his natural rights.
That these are among the greatest OF
national problems is made the more
evident by every fresh Investigation
of the trust observation-disclosures City

This is good but why not declare for

have always claimed to possess a
special adherence for "bolterS," and it
seems hardly consistent to believe
that men who were 50 loyal to the
party when everything was going
their way would BOLT themselves when
matters took another turn.
