"Since this proclamation can be only
general and suggestive, it is left to the
home, and especially to the school, to
make the day memorable to youth for
the definiteness, earnestness and force
of the lessons in this regard. 1t may be
that Scotland's bard in Scotland's fields
did not pillow so straight furrow by
turning aside for hapless mountain
daisy, but his verse has furrowed its
way straight to the heart of the whole
civilized world; and in thus turning
aside from our daily routine work to
cherish these sweet dependents on our
care, are we not but serving our own
best interests and frightening the lane
that has no turning?"

Judges So Decide at the High
School Debate.

From Fridays Daily.
The two literary societies of the high
school last evening held their second
annual contest for the trophy cup offer
ed year ago by the Social Science club
to the one whose team should win in de.
bate. The Zetamathian society won the
cup last year, and again last evening
The attendance was large, and the de.
bate was of highly interesting nature.
Both sides acquitted themselves exceed
ingly well. The judges were T. M. Cur.
rier, Rev. Robert Hughes and G. M.
Palmer. DR.. j. S. Young, president of
the Social Science club, presided.
The question debated was, "Resolv-
ed, That American Cities and Villages
Should Own and Operate Their Public
Utilities' The Philomathian society
had the affirmative and was represent
ed by William Bethke, Ben Howard and
Miss Clara Barker. The Zetamathians
were championed by Miss Maud Cooper
Donald Young and Walter Keoppen.
Public utilities were defined for this
occasion as sewers, water works, light
ing of all kinds, telephones and street
railways.
The speakers for the affirmative took
ground that the very name public utili
ties" implies that they should be in the
hands of the public instead of private
parties. General health conditions are
subserved by the municipal ownership
of water and sewer systems, while lights
should be so owned, because they are
an adjunct of the police power in pre-
venting crime, and also for convenience.
Municipal ownership is the most eco
nomical and gives the more efficient SER
vice, while at the same time curbing
corporate greed. The speakers cited the
success of European cities with munich
pal ownership.
The negative said that the great
plague spots of American politics are
in the cities. City governments are Of
ten corrupt, and it would be dangerous,
unless there was civil service, to add to
the officials the load of administering
the so-called public utilities. 1t would
give greater opportunity for public
graft, which was worse than private
greed The present service by private
ownership is good, and only needs some
reformation here and there. A point was
made that city owned street railways
connecting with corporate owned subur-
ban lines would not unite in giving the
public as good service and rates as now.
Each would have to charge it's own
fares. Facts and figures were presented
to show that private ownership has
proved more economical than public
ownership, and these were clearly pre-
sented on diagrams and charts@
Miss Cooper is deserving of special
mention for the manner in which she
had the subject in hand and the way
that she presented the case.
The decision of the judges was two for
the negative and one for the affirma.
tive The audience seemed to feel that
the decision of the judges was correct.
A piano selection was very nicely
rendered.

Arbor and Bird Day.

Governor johnson has fixed upon
Friday, April 81, as arbor and bird
day, and his proclamation is as fol,
lows. Everybody should read it:

ure as governor of Minnesota to SET

to a sense of the aesthetic value of her

EARLY CONVENTION

From Tuesdays Daily.
Senator George w. Somerville of
Sleepy Eye was in Mankato between

and to be on hand for the meeting of

Hubert Bruels of ST. Clair was pas
senger to St. Paul on the Omaha train
yesterday afternoon, where he has been
summoned to serve on the United States
grand jury. Speaking of the prospects
of the north and south railroad of
which de is a director, he said: "WOrk
will begin again just as soon as the
ground is in condition. The right of
way has been purchased as far as
Cream and fully paid for. The road
will run from there to st. Clair but
from there the location is unsettled. We
would prefer to come to Mankato, but
may have to 60 to st. Peter instead.
We can get into Mankato easy enough,
but do not see how he can get out. We
may make some traffic arrangement
with one of the present roads in order to
get by Main street, for there is no room
there to get right of way of our own.
1t would be useless for us to try to
make any arrangements with the Mil
waukee road, and as far as the Omaha
road is concerned that and the North
western are so busy that they use their
tracks most of the time. At st. Peter
there will be no difficulty about getting
through the city. No, our ROAD Is not
owned or controlled by any other
road up to the present time, and will
not be for some time to come, at least.

MYSTERlOUSLY INJURED.
Dan Harrington Unable to Tell How
He Was Hurt.


Dan Harrington's face was badly cut
last night or this morning, but he was
unable to say how it happened, except
that he had been in the railroad yards. A
physician dressed his injuries.
Harrington was so badly hurt that
he was sent to the hospital. He said
that his brother is county attorney at
Algona, Iowa, and would stand good for
his expenses.
Three of Harrington's teeth were loos-
ened, and Officer Riley pulled one OF
them with Janitor Cuddy's pliers, al
though it is not known that he holds
a dentists license The other two were
pulled by the physician who sewed up
the gaping wound on his cheek.
