RURAL ELECTRIC RAILWAYS.
The Minneapolis Journal Advocates
Strongly Their Construction.

Isn't it about time that all this talk
about rural electric railways leading out
of Minneapolis stopped? We have had a
lot of talk, but there has been very lit
tie achievement. Long before this there
should have been suburban railways to
Minnetonka and to Anoka.
st. Paul has the line to Saltwater, and
today line was opened to the village of
White Bear There is greater traffic
both summer and winter between Min
netonka points and Minneapolis than
there is between White Bear points and
ST. Paul, but while st. Paul has long
enjoyed the Wildwood Saltwater line,
the people of Minneapolis still have to
depend on steam railways.
1t is strange that there has been SO
little electric railway building in south
ern Minnesota, which is densely populat-
ed. A line from Minneapolis down the
Mississippi, or straight south through
Pennington, Mortified, Faribault, Owa-
tonna and Austin ought to pay. An
other paying line would be one up the
Minnesota valley to Mankato and New
Ulm.
Steam railways will never knot the
country and the city SO closely together
as electric railways. The latter stimu-
late trade, and benefit both farmer and
merchant wonderfully. The prosperity
of indianapolis is largely due to the net
work of trolley lines of which it is the
center, and the full use made of their ad-
vantages by the enterprising merchants
of that city. The highest good of Min
neapolis and st. Paul and their rich trib-
utary country demands the building
of rural electric railways, but those
who are in position to undertake the
work do not seem to be willing to do
it themselves or cooperate with others

Party Attempted to Make Him
Yield Up $4,000.
Harry Gilbert Arrested on the
Charge Of BIackmail.
Big Sensation Created BY the
Exposures Today.
Especial to The Free Press.l


Fairmout, Nov. 3O.-Harry Gilbert,
a son of A. C.. Gilbert, the well-known
stock buyer of this city, was arrested
here this morning on a serious charge.
For week past A. L. Ward, the
president of the Martin County bank,
and millionaire, has received letters
threatening him with death in case he
did not send to the writer $4,000. The
letter stated that unless the amount
should be Forthcoming Ward would be
shot on sight.
The letters, three in number, were
placed in the hands of Sheriff Ward and
with the aid of the city police, a clew
was worked up against Gilbert, and the
young man was arrested this morning.
Taken into court, Gilbert waived exami-
nation and was bound over to the grand
jury, having been unable to secure bail
of $1,000.
Gilbert is about twenty years old, and
is considerable of sport.
The authorities will not give out the
contents of the letters, nor the name
signed to them. 1t is understood that the
writer requested Banker Ward to send
the money to a neighboring town, but
the name of the place is withheld by the
sheriff and police.
The arrest of Gilbert and the charge
preferred against him has caused a SEN
sation.

DODGE CENTER is SC0RCHED
Bad Fire Lays Low a Number OF
Buildings.

Dodge Center, Mimi, Nov. 30.-The
most severe fire experienced here for
several years started last night in the
Day sisters millinery store from an ex-
plosion of gas in the coal stove.
The two sisters, who were in the build
ing, saved nothing, escaping in their
night clothes.
Wyman's restaurant, ingalls, machine
warehouse and j. X. Fanchers' and Man
terry Weston's buildings were burned,
and much of their contents destroyed.
The Y. NJ. c. A. building, in which were
the postoffice and Clerk Sisters mil
linery store, was saved by hard work, al
though damaged on the exterior.
William Franklin, president of the vii
lage council, lived in the upper part of
Weston's building and lost all of his
household goods. The buildings were all
of wood and some of them were old.

reported out of the committees, and the
Minnesota members will be urged to take
favorable action. 1t is likely that the
resolutiones adopted Friday night will
ask for a definite statement from every
Minnesota member of congress as to his
position on the bill.
A large attendance is expected at the
special meeting in Cannon Falls. Gov
ernor Van SAINT is good drawing card
for such an occasion, and there will be
representatives from the commercial
bodies of a number of Minnesota cities.

LABOR AND SOCIETY.
Relation Of One to the Other Discuss
ed Last Night.
From Wednesdays Daily.

The Social Science club held an inter-
esting meeting last night, that was well
attended. Prof. William R. Thomas of
the normal school faculty read a paper
on "The Relation of Organized Labor
to Society" He took the ground that
while it was right for labor to organize,
the capitalists also have the right to do
SO. When both have organized, the nat
ural result is for them to combine to
fleece the public that does not belong to
either organization, as has been the re-
suit in Chicago. The remedy for this
is for the general public to take steps
to protect it's own interests, but what
steps shall be taken is a question.
The discussion was generally par
ticipated in by the members. Some
thought that nothing could be done until
human nature improves and everybody
will follow the golden rule. All favor
ed the principle of the open shop, that
no person be denied the right to work
simply because he does not belong to
some organization. Without the open
shop there would be the worst kind
of tyranny.
B. c. Taylor suggested that there be
arbitration.
F. G.. Currier asked how there could be
arbitration on the question of the open
shop. He bought that this should be a
clearly established and generally ack-
nOWledped principle.
