Mankato Under indictment.

Labor Commissioner Williams said
this to The Minneapolis Journal:
''For the number of children working
and loaing on the streets, without per-
mits for being out of school, l think
Mankato is pretty nearly the worst city
on the map"
81 intend to 90 to Mankato Nov. y
continued Mr.. Williams, "and put the
mater up to the school board with de-
mand that a truant officer be appointed.
"The reason there is no truant officer
at present seems to be the expense.
Mankato taxes are up to thirty SIX
mills and taxpayers are complaining
They don't want any additional city ex-
penses, but truant officer has become
a necessity"
Mr.. Williams visited Winona and Al
bert Lea, and says the conditions in
both those cities are exceptionally good
so far as child labor is concerned and
the attendance of children in schools.
Mr.. Williams has returned an indict-
ment against Mankato which calls for a
plea of guilty. 1t is true that too many
young boys are loafing on the streets
idling away precious moments. They
should be in school storing their minds
with useful knowledge, or at least they
might be employed in shop or factory
where they could master trade. Idle
ness begets mischief and mischief leads
to crime and crime to the prison cell or
the gallows. Save the boys and the
men will care for themselves.

and the general exercise of what some
folks call shenannagin?
Do his white spats make him gent

Does his pigeon blood ruby make him
gentleman?
Do his tailor made clothes make him a

As the bard says, we trow not!
All! An ideal
1t is because he steals as much as
100000, and still wears clean cuffs.
That must be what makes the difference
