Evangelist Hanson, the Strenuous

Some evangelists become altogether
too strenuous. The case of c. M. Han
son, who was engaged in work of saw
ing souls at Fergus Falls, is illustrative
of the manner in which few of these
men attempt to drive the devil out of
business. Mr.. Hanson was conducting
revival meetings in the capital of OF
ter Tail county, and his sessions were
largely attended. He possessed a pow
erful voice which penetrated the deep
est recesses of the church, and his eye
was so sharp that it acted very much
after the manner of the optics possessed
by hypnotist. But Hanson came to
grief. He was arrested on complaint of
Mr. Nelson, father of Miss Olga Nelson,
who it appears, had fallen under the spell
of the evangelist and suffered an at
tack of Mysteries. In fact the young
lady became frenzied and for time
was so violent that she was forced to
remain in jail. At the hearing in justice
court the victims brothers gave some
very interesting testimony. They stat
ed that when they entered the room
where the meetings were in progress, on
the night of their sisters collapse, they
found Evangelist Hanson in prayer. He
was praying in an ordinary tone of
voice, which he gradually raised to a
higher pitch until he was shouting at
the top of his voice, and that he kept
mis- eyes fixed on Miss Nelson and an
other young lady, much as a hypnotist
might keep his eyes fixed on sub
ject whom he was hypnotizing. He al
so waived his hands and motioned wild
ly and in a short time, both girls fell
to the floor in what seemed like a hys-
terical fit. They rolled about, tossed
their arms wildly and when Miss Mel
sons mother touched the girl she liter
ally sprang into the air, and falling
struck her head against table. This
certainly was an extraordinary scene
at religious gathering and one which
most likely disturbed the God-like spirit
which had pervaded the place. But Rev.
Hanson grew more strenuous than ever
When the PROSTATE girls father put in
an appearance the evangelist attempted
to waive him aside, declaring That Olga
was not his child, but that she belong
ed to God. The upshot of it was, Han
son was fined $25 and costs, amounting
to $35 in all. The evangelist paid this
sum and departed from town.

dollar expended. Mr.. Meyer took the
firm stand that the peoples money
should be judiciously expended. He
felt that their interests were his, and
that their affairs should be managed
with the same degree of thoughtfulness
as his own. This is the spirit that
should be manifested toward the pub
lie by all officials who have due re-
gard for their oath.
AS a private citizen, Mr.. Meyer has
clean record. His character is If
reproachable. He is a man of strict
integrity and rugged honesty, and could
not be swerved from the path of duty.
He is man of progressive ideas, yet
is not radical. He studies the needs of
the community and considers well the
steps which should be taken to bring
them to successful conclusion. Bust
ness methods always dominate his ev
cry act.

labor for many years. He has been a
liberal employer. He considers himself
a laboring man, and mis- life's expert
ence in the world has given him an ex-
cellent opportunity to weigh the ques-
tions which are ever uppermost in the
minds of those who toll. No employee
of Mr. Meyer has ever been given cause
to complain of the treatment accorded
him.
Summing up Mr.. Meyer as man, as
a citizen, as taxpayer and as pub
lie official, it is evident that he is in
every way fitted to carry out to the
satisfaction of the people the duties
which devolve upon the mayor. The
Free Press is firmly of the opinion that
this is an opportune time for the peo-
pie to elect man of Mr.. Meyers char
acteristics as the city's chief executive.
He is capable, trustworthy, would rec
ognize the great Importance of the con-
fidence reposed in him by his fellow
men, and as for giving the city bus
iness-like administration, there is no
question but that he would do this.

August G. Meyer, the republican can
didate for mayor, is one of the many
successful and substantial business men
of Mankato. He is in every sense a
self-made man, having carved out his
own fortune, and received his educa-
ton in the trying and eXacting school
of experience. He was born in Han
over, Germany, and came to America in
1868, when he was fourteen years of
age. His first few years were spent on
farm near Owatonna, and later he
conducted marble works in that city,
remaining there ten years. Eighteen
years ago Mr.. Meyer became resi-
dent of Mankato. He established the
Mankato Marble works which he has
operated successfully ever since.
Through strict attention to business
and careful and conservative manage
ment he has accumulated comfort
able competence. His money has been
expended literally in Mankato in the
construction of dwelling houses and
business buildings which have assist
ed materially in improving the city
and furnishing employment for labor.
Mr.. Meyer has always taken an active
interest in public affairs, and has ever
been ready to put his shoulder to the
wheel when any legitimate enterprise
needed puching. He became a direc-
tor of the National Citizens bank
twelve years ago, and was one of the
organizers of the Citizens Fire asso-
citation. For five years he has been it's
president, and in that position he has
displayed signal ability as an insur-
ance company director.
Mr.. Meyer is not a stranger to the
duties of public official. During the
Currier administration he served in the
city council, representing the fifth
ward. 1t is agreed by citizens, re-
CARELESS of party affiliations, that he
made one of the best aldermen that
this municipality ever had. He was
faithful to the trust which was placed
in him by the people. During his in
cumbency he was chairman of the COM
mittee on claims and accounts. In this
capacity he displayed excellent judy
ment and discrimination, and no illegal
claim ever escaped his watchful eye.
He was also member of the commit
tee on roads and bridges, and here, too,
he exercised great care in the expendi-
ture of public moneys, always main
tanning that the taxpayer should re-
receive in return full value for every

ment is regarded as an unfailing ba-
rometer of commercial conditions, and
railway arrangements are the first to
feel the Strengthening pulse of national
as well as internal commerce. In form
ing a correct estimate of the import of
the enormous expenditures which the
railroads are making to take care of
increased traffic it must be remembered
that two years ago the orders for
equipment exceeded all records. Despite
the fact, however, that more than $780,
100000 was expended in two years for
equipment, the demand far exceeded the
supply and traffic congestion occurred
at all of the important tonnage CEN
tiers.
Again the railroads see a repetition
of the condition of two years ago, and
their faith in the future is represented
by an expenditure of more than $685.
100000 by nineteen roads which oper-
ate largely in the south and southwest,
where the revival of business and the
outlook are exceptionally bright.
In the east the conditions are none
the less strenuous. The magnitude of
the expenditures is illustrated by that
of the Pennsylvania system, which will
aggregate fully $23,OOO,OOO. The Bal
timore and Ohio will provide new
equipment at cost of fully $l4,OO0,-
600, and the New York Central lines
will approximate the expenditure of the
Pennsylvania.
Every railroad is bombarding car and
locomotive works with large orders, and
from the iron fields of the northwest
the ore is moving in great consignments
and the furnaces throughout the east
are operating day and night.
In the west the railroads are expert
encing similar revival of business.
which is proved by orders for new
equipment made by the Santa Fe, the
Southern Pacific and the Rock Island,
each with its orders for fully $S,0O0,OOO
worth of new equipment and power.
The reason for these large expendi-
lures is easily to be found in the re-
cent monthly statements of railroad
earnings, which have been mirroring the
increased traffic of the country. The
yearly statements of earnings show
steady growth in both the gross and net
earnings of railroads as a whole. AL
though the statements for 1904 are not
completed. careful estimates disclose the
fact that the year surpassed that of
1908 in railroad prosperity.

Business Barometer.

Report has it that more than $780,
100000 will be expended during the
current year for railroad equipment
This is an unprecedented record and it
is an indication of the prosperity en-
joyed by the country. Soon after the
national election the demand for equip
ment of all kinds began to increase
with such rapidity that the railroads
became convinced that they would need
to move quickly if they did not wish
to see general congestion of all kinds
of traffic during 1905, and consequently
a tremendous loss in revenue. The de-
mand made on the railroads for equip

Pi esident RooseveIt's Tariff Views.

During the campaign last fall the
stand patters" attempted to make it
appear that President Roosevelt was
not in favor of tariff revision. One of
the most ardent of the "stand pat" adj
vocates, well-known congressman of
this state, was loud in his declaration
that he stood with President Roosevelt
upon the same platform, which
was not favorable to tariff revision. The
Free Press maintained during those eX
citing days that the president was a
tariff revisionist, and quoted passages
from his letter of acceptance which
showed beyond reasonable doubt that
he was of the belief that schedules
ditions This paper is glad to say that
more than seven thousand republicans in
the second district agreed with it on
this proposition, and cast their bal
lots in favor of candidate for the
congressional nomination who had the
independence to stand by the policy of
the revisionists, opposing the lumber
barons and the ultra protectionists.
In order to set at rest any doubts
that may exist in the minds of the
"stand patters" as to where President
Roosevelt's views are on the question
of tariff revision, we quote from The
American Economist, the chief spokes-
man for the stand -patters:"
''In the face of these facts President
Roosevelt has kept up running fire,
the greater part of the time since the
elections, in favor of notifications of
the tariff. He has lost no opportunity
for impressing senators and representa-
tives that in his opinion the tariff
should now be overhauled for the pur-
pose of modifying the schedules. 1t is
reasonable to expect that during the
summer his labors in that direction will
be in no wise diminished He is am
bilious to bring about a modification
of the tariff laws, and his suggestions
nave at no time, as far as the public
is advised, been along the line of plans
ascertained by careful INJURY whether
the time has arrived when changes in
the tariff law should be made. In
other words, he seems to have concluded
independent OF such inquiry, that the
time has arrived when the republican
party should modify the tariff"
This is a plain statement, and COM
ing from such an organ as The Eco
nomist, "stand patters" are enabled to
see for themselves that the president of
this country, typical American gentle
man and a staunch republican, sis
keeping up running fire" in favor of
the modification of tariff schedules.
1t is rather late in the day for the
'stand -patters" to admit that they at
tempted to place the president in false
light before the people during the late
campaign, but then, their confession to
wrong doing is "better late than never"

Success of Minneopa Park Bill.

Now that the Minneopa state park
bill has passed the Minnesota house, the
measure will be transferred to the SEN
ate. There is every reason to believe
that the bill will have smooth sailing
in that body A number of senator's,
whose influence is well-known, have eX
pressed themselves as feeling friendly
toward the plan of establishing park
in the southern part of the state
They recognize the justice of the claim
set forth by this section of Minnesota,
and are pleased to be able to do what
ever is in their power to grant the con-
cession. 1t is noteworthy that many
of the house members who supported
counties. They are broad minded set
of men and were quick to concede that
southern Minnesota should be favored
with some of the good things at the
disposal of the legislature.
Mankato people are more than pleas
ed over the passage of the bill by the
house, and they will give the Blue
Earth county delegation the praise
which is due for the lively interest dis
played by them in securing favorable
action. Representatives Gates and
Lewis have devoted much time to look
ing after the measure, and they have
taken pains to see that all obstacles
were removed from its pathway to sue
cess.
Representative Roberts of Hennepin
county left no stone unturned to defeat
the measure, even going so far as to
deliver speech in the house yesterday
afternoon against it, hoping at the last
moment to lay the bill on the shelf.
OF course, Mr.. Roberts will want the
support of Blue Earth county members
to aid him in getting bills through the
legislature which will appropriate to the
university large sums of money. The
people of this state have not forgotten
the amount of cash which has been
turned over to that institution from
time to time. This money was used for
various purposes. Among other things,
a football gridiron, a grand stand for
the same, besides identifying the cam
pus and the ground adjacent to the
university buildings. The people living
university buildings. The people living in
southern Minnesota were not in favor
of the gridiron or the grand stand, but
they did not set up loud protest
against the expenditure of the states
money for these luxuries. But mighty
small percentage of the people of this
state has ever enjoyed a seat in the
grand stand or witnessed a football
game on the gridiron which their money
went to pay for. AT that, good sized
fee is always charged up to those who
apply for admission to see the sport.
In view of all the favors that have been
extended to Minneapolis by the legis-
lature. the fight made by Representa-
tive Roberts against the Minneopa park
bill was certainly in bad taste.
