The Stuebe Move

A business move that may mean
much for New Ulm in one way, but
one that is bound to be generally re-
GREETED for other reasons is that by
which Stuebe Bros. on November LIST
are to retire from the retail meat busl-
ness and enter the larger field occu-
pied by wholesale packers and pro-
duce merchants.
The new venture, the details of which
will be set forth at lengthin a future is
sue of this paper, involves the open
ing of commission house in this city
with branches at various towns along
the Northwestern road, but, success
full as this enterprise is bound to be,
it is not really of so much concern to
the public at large as is the closing of
the retail shop.
This shop stands as a model today
among the meat markets of the state.
Founded years ago by the elder Stuebe
it has grown and improved with time.
It is what every town wants, but few
have. 1t was ideally conducted, and
because it's place is not going to be
easily filled, if filed at all, it is justi-
fable to say that its closing will oc-
casion general regret.
A. w. Bingham returned to the city
from his Virginia trip last Saturday.
He speaks disparagingly of the James
town exposition but dwells with un-
disguised pleasure on the associations
formed at the great Episcopal con-
clave.
Among those who attended the Behn-
Ike golden wedding celebration were E..
E. Hartman, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Hartman, Mrs. Eggers and Mrs.
Weinhagen of St. Paul, Mr.. and Mrs.
Plath of Albany and Mr.. and Mrs
Schwertfeger of Sanborn.

Justice David Brewer created
a sensation in the ranks of the
third-termers Wednesday last
when he told a New York audi
ence what he thought of the
presidents game of hide and
seek" with the American people.
Mr.. Brewer is of the opinion that
the constitution makers made an
error when they rejected the
proposal to have the presidential
term of office limited to seven
years, the incumbent to be incl
lglble to reelection. According
to the justice Mr.. Roosevelt is
adopting politician S trick, be-
ing for the law, but against it's
enforcement" He also accused
him of taking Office on an implied
promise and then repudiating it,
and this he described as political
treachery, land a traitor is al
ways despicable. = Now is the
time for Mr.. Roosevelt to rescue
himself from his eQuivocal posi-
tiUfI.

WEATHER PROPHECIES.

birmingham Age-Hefald.)
The woodmen AID Lrappers and
goosebone prophets agree in say
ing that a long cold winter is
coming. The preparations Of the
muskrats against the coming of
severe weather are unusually ell
aborate and numerous. They
are making their winter homes
strong and their beds comfort
able. The muskrats may not
know what the winter is to be.
but the hunters have faith in
them and in their preparations
against snow and extreme wealth
err. The squirrels are storing up
nuts for a long seige, and the
bears and wolves are said to be
heavy coated. All the voolfolk,
in short are getting ready for a
winter Of great length and rightly.
All the birds of passage are wing
ing their way southwark. They
at least know when it is wise to
seek warmer ATTITUDES. The
grouce or partridge are scary and
are keeping in the tall timber.
This, say the hunters, means a
cold winter. If they kept in the
open, spending good deal of
time on the ground, a mild win
ter might be expected, and this
is precisely what they are not
doing.
Here in the south we have not
so MANY weather signs, but a
cold winter elsewhere means a
cold winter here, and the pipes
should be we'll wrapped and the
household pets we'll protected
whenever the weather bureau
sounds a note of warning. The
people of Birmingham have not
forgotten the winter when ice
skaters disported on East Lake.
That was only eight years ago
and repetition Of that remark
able spell of temperature would
mean a harvest for the plumbers
and general tax laid on all
householders.

SOUTHERN STABILITY.

In speaking of the Southern
outlook, the Wall Street Journal
gives the following excellent
explanation of Southern .stabil-
ity in the midst of storm and
stress:
In the effort to define the linz
it's beyond which recessions in
business activity are not likely
to go, something encouraging is
to be found in the development
of Southern enterprises. The
noticeable feature to those who
have made longtime observations
is the fact of the absence OF
over-capitalization. Most bran
ches of business in the South
have been VIGOROUSLY short OF
capital. They have built and
equipped their factories without
over-capitalizing them, and have
depended largely. possibly too
largely, on the current sales OF
products to keep them supplied
with funds. While this has some
drawbacks, at the same time
they have turned their profits in
to the industry as a rule, and are
fairly we'll equipped from the fl
nancial standpoint to face cur
tailment.
What is true of the textile in
dustries may also be said of the
iron and steel works, of the coal
trade and of the machine indus
tries. They, too, generally speak
ing, have been doing a large bus
mess on moderate capitalization.
There have been few re-organ-
izations of a financial character
for which additional securities
were issued, although meantime
the plants have been developing
their markets and exploiting
natural resources so as to turn
their original OUTLAWS into income
bearing properties. This gener.
al tendency has helped strength
en- the financial character of
most projects in this field.
With all the drawbacks which
monetary stringency has impos-
ed upon Southern business, it has
been forging ahead in all the
the leading lines. Frankly rec
ognizing it's limitations, it has
wisely turned back much of the
large profits into it's treasures,
rather than sought new lines of
investment. Together with all
these there has been a much lar
ger expenditure in improving the
standards of living and enhanc-
ing personal comfort.
These conditions, existing at
the turn of the road in a long pc
riod of prosperity, find the South
fairly capable Of meeting a
change in conditions with much
more resolution and far better
success than at any earlier peri
cd since the civil war.

Parental responsibilities as Seen
by Mr.. Billy Sanders.

You've often hearn people,
when they're talkkin' about a
wild youngster, say that they
are mighty sorry for the boys
nanny an daddy. Well, I've
never got to that pass yit. I'm
alters sorry for the boy, sorry
that he's got sech weakened
folks to mismanage him. But l
reckon that as long as the world
stands the common run of folks
will be sorry for the weak-min-
! ded daddies and mammies. |
alters feel like cussin' when I
hear a whole passed. of grown
people singin' ''Whar is My Wan
derin' Boy Tonight?' The boys
| ought to get up a song like this:
Why Didn't Ny Parents Raise
Me Right?' That kind of a song
would about hit the truth smack
in the face. It's enough for to
| give an old man the jim-jams to
think of the wide folly Of this
world an the wooden-headed
hypocrisy of the great majority
of it's inhabitants.
Whar a wanderin' boy has got
a daddy an nanny, you may
know thar's somethin' wrong
WI 'em. This is one of the rules
that amt got no exceptions;when
d boy WI a Twin nanny an
daddy goes wrong, thar's some
thin rank an rotten whar the
boy lives at. The neighbort may
not know of it, an the nanny
an daddy may deny it wi tears
a signs, but the cause Of the
trouble lies between 'em. This
is alters the case, an eff the
nanny an daddy can't control
Their boy, they amt got no bus

Under the caption, Wonderful
Dawn of Prohibition the New
York Sun says that all through
the South there are sounds and
signs of a tremendous disposition
to nominate a Southern man for
president, and that idea is an ex.
cellent one. 1t further says that
if the South will pick out a sane,
clean man and nominate him on
a prohibitionist platform, he will
sweep with him every Southern
state and two-thirds of the rest.
Prohibition candidates have new
er amounted to anything, and the
Sun knows that it's prediction
would not come true. The South
can't be switched off by that
kind of talk.

AS an argument for the adj
mission of New Mexico as a
state, Governor Curry points out
that it has a population of 4OO,-
900, with public debt of only
$3.50, 900, and immense mineral
and agricultural resources whose
development will make it one of
the most populous states in. the
West. While it is not likely that
congress will consent to the ad-
mission of a new state on the
eve of a presidential election,
statehood cannot much longer be

LINES ON CONFEDERATE NOTE.

LINES ON CONFEDERATE NOTE.
From Memphis Commercial Appeal.)
How often these words have
greeted us from the pages Of
magazines and papers, and how
often has their authorship been
discussed and disputed! These
lines ranking in the hearts of
most Southern people with "The
Conquered Banner, have been
attributed many times to the au-
thor of that famous poem, and
also to various other poets.
Needless to say that Father Ry-
an fastened to give the credit
where it was due, though there
were many who tried to claim
it's authorship.
Ex-President Davis was among
those who felt interested in the
controversy and took the trouble
to satisfy himself as to the au-
thorship Of the poem. which first
appeared in the early sixties
over the signature of Maj. S. A.
Jonas, editor of the Aberdeen
Examiner, Aberdeen, Miss. The
poem was written in May, 1865,
at Richmond, Va.
During the war Maj. Jonas
served with credit on the stats
of Gen. w. H. C. Whiting, John
B. Hood and Stephen D. Lee, be-
ing paroled with the latter at
High Point, N. C.
From High Point he went with
a party of officers to Richmond
to arrange for transportation
home. They stopped at Powha-
tan Hotel, where the poem was
written and presented to Miss
Anna Rush, a Northern girl who
was visiting in Virginia at the
time. Soon afterward the poem
was published in the New York
Metropolitan Record under the
heading, Something Too Good
to be Lost"
This poem has been selected as
part of the program to be given
on Historic Day" at the nation
al convention Of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy in
Norfolk, Va, on Nov. Is.
The honor of reciting it on
that occasion has been conferred
to Miss Anna Lowe Jonas, who,
as the daughter of the author,
and also for her own brilliant at
tainments as a reader of ability,
will be received with enthusiasm
by the hundreds of staunch
Southerners present, to many of
whom the poem is known by
heart and will Re greeted as an
old friend.
