THE HIGH SCHOOL.

Last Friday morning President
T. J. Liable rendered an invitation
10 Dr.. L. A. de Laureal, Mr.. r.
Martin and the editor of the Mes
senger to accompany him to a Wis
it to the st. Martinville High
School.
The visitors were highly plea
sed with the arrangements and d.
visions Of the school building, all
the rooms and departments were
clean, neatly painted, and all the
benches, desks and other equip
ments of this school were in per-
feet order.
The visitors found a large stten-
dance, nearly three hundred chill
dren, all in charge of competent
teachers, and perfect dicipline.
The improvements made to the
school house, the methods of
teaching and the competency of
the present corps Of teachers,
make the St. Msrtinvills High
School the equal of any in the
State.
President Liable and Supt. Oil

increasing the standard of our pub
lie schools, aud we are pleased to
say they have done good work.

AS TO STANDIN' PAT.


Farmer Ben of The Austin Transcript
who seems to be gifted with lct OF
horse sense, has something 10 say this
week about stand-pat congressman
which is quite well worth reading:
"Ain't there good deal of humbug,"
he asks, sin the extreme stand pat
theory that is used as shield for lots
of our recalcitrant congressman to get
behind? This idea of stickin' to the
old ways through thick and through thin
no matter what the people demand is
easy but it amt popular and the con-
gresham are goin to find out so too.
Here Yves been bled to death by lot of
trusts and monopolies in iron and coal
and sugar and oil and other trusts con-
trolling monopolies and manufactures
and we can't get relief because our con-
gressmen allow themselves to be dictated
to by the big injins instead of combin-
in to break their control. l tell you the
big fellows have this country pretty
well by the throat and they will throttle
the very life out of us if we don't get
a wiggle on us. Why, you can buy stee
rails, locomotives or SEWN machines OF
farm machinery and lots of other Ameri-
can goods cheaper in Europe and Asia and
Africa than you can right here at home
just because these industries are protect
ed so unnecessarily and excessively that
outsiders can't compete and hold prices
down reasonable. The people demand
proper tariff modification or trust made
goods that don't need so much protection
promise all smooth before election only
to stand pat after they squeeze into
office again. Look at the lumber tariff
which is nothin' in the world but putin
millions into the pockets of the lumber
barons of Minneapolis. Does any one
suppose that it would be an injury to
the common people of this section to
have a lot of Canadian lumber come in
at reduced prices to help piece out the
fast disappearin' forests on this side of
the line? The protective tariff principle
is right but in its application it has got
to be modified as new conditions develop.

If there is any person who has the

INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE.
Will Examine Street Car Company
and Connections.
From Wednesdays Daily.

The directors of the Mankato Rail
way, Light and Power company feel
that there should not be opposition by
the citizens of Mankato to securing to
this city a street and interurban rail
way. They have good reason to believe
that with the cooperation of our bust
ness men the building of the road is
practically certainty, and that the
citizens of Mankato may be assured of
the genuineness of the enterprise the
directors unanimously passed resolu-
ton asking Doctor Andrews, president
of the board of trade, to appoint com.
mittee of three well known, and capable
citizens to examine thoroughly into
the affairs of the company, to ascertain
the financial and commercial standing of
the eastern parties connected with it,
and make such other investigation az
shall demonstrate to the public exactly
what the prospects are for an electric
street railway.
Doctor Andrews has appointed as gsuch

From Tuesdays Daily.

Mrs. T. w. Hart has received tele-
gram from San Diego, Cal, announcing
the death of Chauncey Austin, nineteen
years old. The boy, so the message
states, was drowned while bathing i'll the
ocean.
The boy was well known in Mankato,
where the Austin family used to live.
He as the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
H. Austin, and the grandson of Mr..
and Mrs. c. H. Austin, now visiting at
the home of Mrs. L. w. Hart, who is the
daughter of the boys grandmother.
Chancey was a very bright lad, and
his future career seemed full of promise,
when cut short by the lamentable mis-
hap. He was high school student, and
was about to enter a university, with
the intention of taking a course in cleo
trical engineering.

Gen. Baker Interviewed by The
ST. Paul Pioneer Press.
Says mankato Republicans Are
Three to One for Miller.
Luyerne Man Represents the
Views of the People.
From Tuesdays Daily.

Republicans are watching with a good
paign in the second district between Con-
gresham James L. McCleary of Manka-
to and Former Senator H. ]. Miller of
Luverne, and there is wide divergence
of opinion as to the result of the con-
test. The more enthusiastic of Mr.. Mill
er's adherents believe that the Luverne
senator will win, because, as they say,
he represents the views of the people on
the tariff question more accurately than
the present congressman. Those who
have watched Congressman McCleary's
career in congress and who realize the
strength of his organization in the Sec
ond district, however, believe that his
nomina ton is assured, and that his con-
test with Mr.. Miller is merely child's
play.
Among the most enthusiastic of Mr..
Miller's supporters in Mankato is Gen.
j. H. Baker, member of the state his
torical society, who was in st. Paul yes.

81 don't know how Mr.. Miller will
run all over the district. but if he gets
as large a vote in all sections as he will
in Mankato he will be nominated" said
Gen. Baker. II think that it is safe to
say that three fourths of the republicans
in Mankato are for Senator Miller. Con-
gresham McCleary is having the fight
of his life."-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

He believed in "exclusiveness." He grew

Gen. O. O.. Howard was in Mankato
last Sunday. He talked to the Y. M. c.
A. about-what? The association and
its work? The beauty of uprightness?
The value of character? Perhaps, but he
prefaced his talk on those subjects with
la glowing tribute to McCleary, hkening
him to Lincoln, who, instead of Clay, he
said had said he would rather be right
than president. McCleary, he minated.
would rather be defeated than abjure his
tariff convictions. A young Man" pro-
tests, in the Free Press, against this in
lection of politics into Sunday services.
We gather from his letter that he thinks
it ''inopportune to use religious service
to build political fences" He has yet to
learn how standpatternism borrows the
livery of heaven to serve itself-St. Paul
Dispatch.

Cannot Permit It.

The st. Paul Dispatch takes Mr.. Nc
Cleary to task in the following strong
editorial for trying to cloak himself in
the political garb of Blaine and McKin-
ley: "We cannot permit Mr.. McCleary
to wear the mantles of Blaine, Mckinley
or Roosevelt to impress his constituents
that the views of these eminent men are
like those he advocates in relation to the
Use of the taxing power of the federal
government. We have stripped off the
Blaine mantle under which Mr.. McCleary
sought to hide his opposition to reciproc-
ity in products that may compete with
some of ours, and shown that Blaine
would have free trade with Canada and
the South American states, and that
hides were left out of the dutiable list
of the Mckinley law of 80 because of
his objection.
But Mr.. McCleary says "the reciprocity
that believe in is the kind Incorporated
in the Mckinley act at the suggestion of
James G. Blaine; reciprocity in non-com.
peting products" Reciprocity was incor-
porated in the Mckinley act after the
bill was in the senate. Blaine's idea was
practically mutual free list. What the
senate put into the house bill was a
provision authorizing the president to
transfer to the dutiable list coffee, tea,
sugar and hides coming from any coun-
try which, in his opinion, levied duties
on our exports that are ''reciprocally un-
equal or unreasonable" When this was
reported back to the house, on the mo-
ton of Mr.. Mckinley, the house refused
to agree, but finally accepted it. Mr..
McCleary will take note that sugar and
hides are competing products whose e. :
try Mr.. Mckinley at first made free and
the senate made contingently taxable.
To find out what the views of Mr.. Me-
Kinley were on reciprocity tariffs we
have to come down to a period in his
experience when, in the presidential Of
fee, with its wider views of internation-
al relations and trade than membership
, in the house gives, he expressed them in
his last public speech at Buffalo. What
are Mr.. McCleary's opinions today? He
is reluctant to see a single days work
for Americans done elsewhere than in
America" 81 am frank to say that, in
my deliberate judgment, it would be best
to prohibit entirely the importation Of
all articles, the like of which we can
produce in this country economically anu
in sufficient quantities to supply the
wants of our people"
What was McKinley's ripened judg-
ment matured by experience? "a sys-
TEN which provides for mutual ex-
change of commodities is manifestly es-
sential to the continued healthful growth
of our export trade" McCleary's pro-
posed policy assumes that we can sell
without buying. Mr.. Mckinley labored
under no such delusion. 1--WE must not
repose in fancied security that we can
forever sell everything and buy little o.:
nothing" "What we produce beyong our
domestic consumption must have vent
abroad. The excess must be relieved
through foreign outlet, and we should
sell everywhere we can and buy wherever
buying will enlarge our sales and pro-
auctions, and thereby make greater

McCleary on His Nerve.

There are some amusing things in pol
tiles and McCleary promises to furnish
his share of amusement before the pri-
maries. Up to this week H. j. Miller of
Luverne, who wants McCleary's place,
has had things nearly all his way, and
he became bold and confident. He asked
McCleary to answer some Ito himself)
stunning questions. The little school
master was not to be longer bluffed. He
saw Roosevelt and hurried home, pre-
sumably after Roosevelt's assurance
that his "stand-pat" tariff views were
sound, and now, through the st. Paul
Pioneer Press he has published a two
column speech on the tariff, in which he
asks Miller to answer a series of ques-
tions, in which he tries the bluf himself
in defiant mannee, promising to answer
Miller's questions and then to literally
wipe the earth with Miller. One of the
most admirable things in Nc. is his
nerve.-News, New Ulm.

One week from today, occurs
the primary election, when nominations
for the various places will be made by
popular vote. One of the most interest
ing contests on is for member of con-
gress between McCleary the present in
cumbent and H: J. Miller, of Luverne
From present indications the contest will
be very close withthe tide turning to-
wards Miller. If things keep coming his
way between now and the goth, as they
have the past four weeks, Miller will
be the nominee. Miller's record as a
legislator is one of which the republicans
have reason to feel proud. He has al
ways been alert to the interests of the
public and has been rightly termed as
"the man who does things" He will re-
ceive handsome majority in Martin

Rotation in office is good thing.
Competent men who work for tile success
of their party are melted by a hope that
some of the plums may fall their way
To say nothing about the momentous
tariff issue involved in the Congressional
campaign where a candidate like Me-
Cleary has held the office for six terms and
another candidate is equally as good and
capable, preference should be given to
the new candidate. Senator Miller, re-
publican candidate for congress, has pub
lished republican newspaper in Rock
county twenty-five years. He has al
ways worked hard for the success of the
party. Is a man of good ability and hon
orable in all his dealings. Further, he is
in touch with the people of the second
district. He believes in cutting out this
$500 tariff tax on lumber-putting it
where it belongs, on the free list. Also
iron, steel, glass, and other necessities
controlled by the trusts. After careful
perusal we candidly believe there isn't
a voter in the second district, who if he
consults his best financial interests, Tex
eept Mr.. McCleary himself), but will ar
rive at the sensible conclusion to vote at
the primaries on the goth inst. next for

the tariff, why is it that the republican
national committee has warned him not

why is it that every republican congress
