Show An Interest.

Now that the election is matter of
history, and there is no longer dis
position on the part of the people to dis
cuss politics, and there are no political
meetings to break into the everyday
life of the business and professional
man, it is hoped that all hands will ex-
hibit that interest in the Commercial
club which they should.
Matters of Importance come before
that organization constantly and unless
the members attend the meetings moth
ing can be accomplished in the way of
building up the city. The Free Press
repeats its oft repeated assertion that
if the Commercial club is to become a
permanent fixture in Mankato the mem
bers thereof must get out to its sessions
and participate in its proceedings.
1t certainly must be discouraging to
those who are trying to further the
welfare of Mankato to face a bare
quorum and frequently not that num-
Der when they make their appearance at
the meetings of the club. They are
handicapped in their efforts to promote
enterprises and to bring to Mankato
industries which would prove most be-
neficial to those who do not exhibit
an interest in their undertakings. 1t is
the duty of every good citizen to sacri-
flee a certain amount of his time for
the benefit of all.

the establishment there of absolute free
trade. 1t is the suggestion of natural
law, of business interest, of the COM
mon good. If the time be not due for
that, the least that it demands is the
policy and measure of ample recipro-
city.
There cannot be even a beginning un-
til we shall have fixed in our minds the
desirability of free interchange of
natural products and raw materials,
giving to the New England manufact-
urer his fuel and to the farmer of the
western plains his lumber, and to the
makers of books and newspapers every
where their print paper free from the
eXactions which needless tariff now
permits monopoly to impose"
Mr.. Hill also argued that as great a
boon as the Panama canal will be to
the trade of the country, it would bene-
greatest drafts of business upon the
western coast of South America. which
he believed could not be compared IN
the vast agricultural acreage of the
northern country.
The speaker also referred 10 me rapid
development of Canada and said one
of her most ambitious projects was the
proposed; canal from Lake Huron to the
st. Lawrence river.

Of the number who sought the nomina-
tion for governor at the Duluth conyen-
ton could have defeated John A. John
son this year. The cards were stacked
against the party and the fellow in the
"lookout" was in on the play. Now that
the battle is over the people win give
no more thought to the charge that Mr..
Cole was the tool of the corporations.
In fact they will admit that he was
misused on this score. Mr.. Coles rec
ord in the legislature ought to set peo-
pies minds at rest on that point. But
that is neither here nor there. The
people broke their necks to vote for
Johnson and they would have done so
no matter who his opponent might have
been.
Mr.. Cole was handicapped by the Tom
Shevlin incident at Duluth, but he was
in nowise responsible for the actions
of that man, nor was Mr.. Cole under
any obligations to Shevlin for his nomi-
nation. But the incident was the means
of taking from Mr.. Cole many thou
sands of votes.

AN OlD-TIME ENGINEER.
Run the First Locomotive Over the
Southern Minnesota Road.

James McLindon, who died Thursday
evening at his home on Rose street, is
said to have been the engineer who
took the. first train over the present
southern Minnesota division of the Mil
waukee road, says The La Crosse Chron-
icle.
Mr.. McLindon has been a resident of
La Crosse for about thirty years and
during that time has been employed as
locomotive engineer. He began his du-
ties as an engineer on the present
southern Minnesota division of the Mil
waukee road when it was still owned
by the Eastons of La Crosse and con-
tinued with the road after it had been
sold to the Milwaukee road company.
For years he was the regular engineer
on passenger train Nos. % and 8, leav
ing this city in the forenoon and return
ing in the evening. He was succeeded
about five years ago by c. +. West.
After resigning his position with the
Milwaukee road he went to Arkansas,
hoping that his health would be bene-
fitted by the change, and has since been
employed as an engineer on the Fort
Smith & Western road. On account of
ill health he was compelled to give up
his position there several months ago
and came home last summer Since his
arrival here he has been gradually de-
clining until death relieved his suffer
ings. 5e'qs.t
rTH Mr.. NIcLindon was born in New York
state and came west with his parents
when they took up their residence at
Portage, Wis. He went to work at
once for the Milwaukee, road, at the age
of fourteen years.
He held a position of Importance in
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers for many years. He was chief OF
the local grievance committee. He was
a charter member of the Catholic
Knights of ST. James church.
He is survived by his wife and five
children, Mrs Wells of Cleveland, o.,
Misses Grace and Agnes and Messrs.
William and Bernard living at home.

TALKS F0R RECIPROCITY.
j. Adam Bede Gives Out Statement
in Chicago.

canadian reciprocity" is to be the
battle cry with members of congress
from the northwestern country during
the coming short session of congress. If
President Roosevelt calls the sixtieth
congress into extraordinary session on
March 4 next, then the fight for the is
sue which James j. Hill made so pre-
dominant before the Merchants club,
Chicago, Saturday night, will be taken
up with renewed energy.
This is the work which Representa-
tive j. Adam Bede, from the eighth Min
nesota district, brought to Chicago on
his way to Iowa.
'Mr. Hill undoubtedly has sounded the
keynote of the situation, so far as we in
the northwest look at the matter" said
Mr.. Bede. "Mr. Hill, if he were to back
individuals for political preferment,
might come to grief, but when he as
serts so reasonably and so ably, the con-
ditions existing in the great northwest,
he has the backing solidly of the entire
people.
s'There have been those of us" con-
tinued Mr.. Bede, "who have advocated
Canadian reciprocity for many years.
The serious drawback which we encoun-
ter, and which we shall encounter in the
coming winter will be that the Cana
dams have been steadily growing, and
from province have evolved into a ma
ton. 1t is very possible, not to say prob
able, that the same state of mind re-
garding reciprocity does not exist among
the Canadians as prevailed some years
aUo"

NOT GOOD in ARKANSAS
The Right of the Governor to Fiji
Official Vacancies, Poll Tax and
Road Tax Laws InvaIidated.

Little Rock, Ark, April 25.--The
state supreme court has handed down
a decision that invalidates there con-
stitutional amendments. The case In
point involved the right Of the gov
ernor to I'LL official vacancies by APP
pointment, and it was held by the SUI
preme court that the amendment was
not adopted, for the reason that it did
not receive a, majority Of all the votes
on that particular question.
The poll tax amendment requiring
all voters to have poll tax receipts, and
the road tax amendment, providing for
levy Of special three-mill tax for
road improvements are affected in a
like manner.
The official vacancies must now be
filled by election under old law. The
road tax can not be levied and poll tax
requisite is invalid.

Natures Way Is Best.

The function strengthening and tissue
building plan Of treating chronic, linger-
ing and obstinate cases of disease as pur-
sued by Dr. Pierce, is following after
Natures plan of restoring health.
He uses natural remedies, that Is
extracts from native medicinal roots,
prepared by processes wrought out by
the expenditure of much time and
money, without the use of alcohol, and
by skillful combination in just the right
proportions.
Used as ingredients Of DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, Black Cherry
bark, Queens root, Golden Seal root,
Bloodroot and Stone root, specially exert
their influence in cases of lung, bronchial
and throat troubles, and this rDIscov-
ERY" Is, therefore, sovereign remedy
for bronchitis, laryngitis, chronic coughs,
catarrh and kindred ailments.
The above native roots also have the
strongest possible endorsement from the
leading medical writer's, of all the several
schools OF practice, for the cure not only
Of the diseases named above but also for
Indigestion, torpor Of liver, OF. bilious
hess, obstinate constipation, kidney and
bladder troubles and catarrh, no matter
where located.
You don't have to take DIR. Pierce's
say-so alone as to this; what he claims
for his discovery Is backed up by the
writings of the most eminent men in the
medical profession. A request by postal
card or letter, addressed to DR.. r. v.
