Mr.. Cole Answers Gov. johnson.

The following is an extract from a
speech delivered by Hon. A. L. Cole at
a reception rendered him by the Roose-
welt club in st. Paul Monday night:
My attention has been called to that
part of Governor Johnson's speech in
which he criticises me for proposing as
a solution of the railway rate question
the adoption of new laws. If the COVER
nor will read my speech again, he will
find that his charge is not quite fair.
It is true / advised the enactment of
new laws to strengthen our present
statutes. But before doing so L insist
ed that the first thing to do was to
vigorously enforce the laws we now
have. Among other things 1 said in my
speech at Kenyon and have since repeat
edly insisted that "There are already
on our statute books laws, which, when
vigorously enforced will afford very sub
s~tantial relief" and / added that "the
vigorous enforcement of our laws cannot
be~insisted upon too strongly. Not only
should there be vigorous enforcement of
our state laws, but we should at all
times endeavor to create public senti-
ment which may insure the enforcement
of u federal rate statutes"
This was in line with the sentiments
II expressed in a speech delivered last
spring at Zumbrota where in I said,
among other things: snow I have a re-
eeipt for existing railroad evils, and I
will give it to everybody from Governor
Johnson down to the humblest citizen.
It is this: "Stop scolding and get to
work enforcing the railroad laws we
have unless you can work and scold
both at the same time"
But while 1 hold this view and nave
emphasized it wherever 1 have had an
opportunity to talk on the subject of
railroad regulations to the people, /
must emphatically dissent from the po-
sition taken. by Governor johnson that

The Mankato Fair.

Despite the most u~nfavorable weather
conditions which have prevailed in this
section during the past few days, the
fair given under the auspices of the
Mankato association was a decided sue
cess and the managers have every rea-
son to feel proud of their achievement.
Although they worked under difficulties
and encountered obstacles which no hu-
man being could have swept aside, the
fair officers and directors have demon
strated that an exhibition worthy of
the name can be given in Mankato.
Those who are inclined to 'croak" and
throw cold water upon enterprises have
been given an example of what can De
accomplished when once men of the
same mind and willing hands unite their
energies.
The Free Press is immensely pleased
over the good results that have been
obtained from the first annual EXPOSE
ton. The giving of a fair in this city
is no longer in the experimental stage.
Each succeeding year the MankatO fair
will increase in the number of its eX-
hibits and there will be additional fea-
lures which must certainly be pleasing
to the patrons of the institution.
Had the weather been settled the at
tendance at the fair would have been
much larger, but though j. Pluvius did
pull the bung out of his reservoir and
drench the earth, people came and were
we'll repaid for so doing. The displays
made by local merchants and manufac-
turers, also those from abroad were
kindly interest in the fair and they as
sisted greatly in making the event what
it was. In a word, everybody lent a
hand and their combined labors made
the fair a stupendous success.
Whatever shortcomings there were
should be overlooked. The defects will
be remedied. Experience and time will
aid the management in curing the small
things that sometimes act as a draw
back to an otherwise splendid enter
prise. 1t is hoped that Mankato peo-
pie will stand by the fair. They GER
tainly have done well so far.
There is no reason why the Mankato
fair cannot be made second in size and
Importance to the state fair.

success of our fair this year. They
made our fair the second largest county
fair in the state, and had the weather
been favorable our fair would have been
the largest county fair in the state.
1t is with a feeling of pride that we
invite the attention of the public to the
attendance of our fair and the fair as
Il fair when taken into consideration
with the ~unfavOrable weather during the
three days of our exhibition. We feel
that we have demonstrated that our as
ISOLATION can make a grand success of
the fair in this city and one that will
be a credit to Blue Earth county whose
agricultural wealth and require
and demand such a fair as Il asso-
citation expects to be able to give in
the future.
We solicit the continued favors and
patronage of all who have rendered us
such valuable assistance this year and
of all the people of Blue Earth county
and assure you that Our officers will
leave nothing undone to make the next
fair of u association the greatest that
has ever been had in this section of the
state. 1t is the endeayor of this assO-
citation to represent the people and carry
out their wishes and we will gladly re-
ceive suggestion from any one at any
time. Mankato Fair and Blue Earth

Inmate Of St. Peter Hospital browns
Himself in River.

From FRIDAY DdIy.
Shortly before noon Wednesday, Ole
B. Klein, a st. Peter hospital patient,

Bidders Run Figure on Ballard Farm
Up to STA an Acre.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The auction sale on the Charles Bal
lard farm last Monday, a mile and a
half south of the city OH the poor farm
road, was well attended. The interest
ing feature of the auction was the fact
that f%orty-one acres was offered for
sale, containing a brick house, twenty
five acres being under cultivation, and
the balance climber, pasture and raviRe.
The bidding on this place started at
$50 an acre. and was lively until $40
an acre was bid. After that only two
bidders hung on. The highest bid offer
ed by either of these was S74 an acre,
but Mr.. Ballard claimed the right to
one bid, and bid $75 an acre, and the
place was not sold.
