states that of a total of $40 convicts
in the penitentiary las, or over II
per cent, are 2 years of age or less.
Under the present system these
young men, instead of having a
chance to reform, are thrown into
the company of men who are skilled
in crime. and are often ready to
impart their knowledge to others.
Another feature of the report
which is of especial interest is the
statement that 619 of the $40 con-
victs had led Incorporate lives and
of the 456 who pleaded guilty, over
50 per cent gave as an excuse for
committing the crime either being
drunk or being in bad company.
Where could one find a stronger
temperance lecture than this? The
saloons cause, directly or indirectly,
nearly all of the crimes committed,
in consideration of the privilege for
doing which they pay license. The
amount Of license fees paid through
out the state, however, does not
make up for capturing, trying and

CONSERVATIVE POLICY PAYS.

In a resume of the years financial

is no occasion for alarm, and urges
every man to "be of good cheer,
and conservative in everything ex-
cept thankfulness. Mr.. Shaw's an

doubtedly he pointed the real prob.

to the phenomenal prosperity of the

ANOTHER HISTORIC FIGURE CONE
Widow Of Victim Of New UIm Mas.
sacre Dies in Minneapolis.

Mrs. Pauline Boiler, widow of the
late George Boiler, died at the home
of her son in Minneapolis last Thurs
day. She was seventy eight years OF
age and had sustained her years we'll
antil recently, when she was seized
with a stroke of apoplexy which ended
in her death.
Mrs. Boiler was one of the historic
characters of New Ulm. She was born
in Germany in 1929, and came with her
first husband. Mr.. Albert Dietrich. to
America in the early fiftles. They built
one of the first houses in what is now
the city of New Uim and lived here
during the Indian outbreak of 1862.
Mr.. Dietrich was one of that small
party that went out into Milford when
the first news of the uprising was re-
ceived and was one of those who were
killed as a result of the hapless adj
venture.
Mrs. Dietrich and her children es-
capped death during the attacks on New
Ulm, and when the town was evacuated
she removed to ST. Anthony, Her
marriage to Mr.. Boiler occurred
many years after.

says that in the campaign of 1853 these
gentlemen travelled this part of the state

part of the state in an open democratic
wagon, while Mr.. Window rode a

DAVIS MAKES A TEN STRIKE
Congressman from st. Peter
Would Revolutionize our
System OF Education.
knowledge Now Sought Higher
Could BE Gained in Rural
Schools.
Minnesotan's Measure Is Praised
by Secretary of Agriculture.

Secretary Wilson has committed the
department of agriculture to the educa-
tional proposition contained in the
bill introduced@in the house of repre-
ssentatives this week by Congressma an
Davis of st. Peter.
Never before has the general GOV
eminent taken SO decided a stand in
favor of putting rural education on
modern scientific basis. The Davis
bill provides for an appropriation
every year equal to 10 cents for every
inhabitant of the country, or So. OOO,-
600, on the basis of a population of
50, 600, 900. This money is to be ex-
pended in the development of agri-
cultural schools in the rural districts
and of industrial schools in cities of
more than 1000 population.
1t is the opinion in Washington that
Representative Davis has struck a
great ''lead" with his bill, and that
his name is likely to become identified
with what will be perhaps the most i'm
portantpiece of educational legislation
in the country's history.
Professor Hays, assistant secretary
OF agriculture, has given the philoso-
ply underlying the Davis bill careful
study, and what he has to say on the
general proposition contained in the
bill is very interesting.
'sTo develop Countrywide education,
as instruction for our city schools is
developed, two important changes are
necessary" says Professor Hays.
''First, there is needed in every rural
| congressional district an agricultural
high school with capacity to accommo-
date several hundred pupils, and, sec
ond, rural schools should be CONSOLE
dated. In these two points unanimity
of opinion is being slowly but surely
reached by those who have paid most
attention to this subject; and the next
large public expenditure for education
made by the American people should
be for the consolidation of the rural
schools, the development of agricul-
tural high schools. and the develop
ment of Industrial work in our coun
try life and in our city schools.

Annual Meeting Shows Order to
be in Healthy Financial

Next Meeting to be Held in Still

Ne Honae for Aged Members to be
Built i'm the Near Future.

The Order Of Hermann Sons ad-
jeuRned their annual grand lodge meet
1ng at the Gid capitol in st. Paul last
Wednesday evening to meet again in
Saltwater in January, 1908.
Forty-seyen lodges were represented
and all the grand lodge officers, with
the exception of Grand Trustee Her.
nam Vogt, were in attendance.
New officers were elected as follows:
Grand president. Fred Ziegler of
Saltwater; vice president, John Bor-
cher of Minneapolis; secretary, Carl
Harpke of St. Paul: treasurer, Frank
Noethen of Minneapolis; directors,
w. Budy of ST. Paul and G.. Nielus of
Minneapolis: trustee, Herman Vogt Of
Minneapolis.
Hereafter the ladies' auxiliary of
the order will be operated indepen-
IDENTIFY of the male branch, it having
been decided to allow them to form a
grand lodge of their own. The or
ganization will include the auXiliaries
of the state and will be similar in
character to the Sons of Hermann.
The membership limit for admission
into the order was extended from
forty-fve to fifty years.
The convention also took up the
proposition of home for the aged
aaembers of the order, but came
to the conclusion that the time was
not yet ripe for action. The late Col.
Kiefer, at one time mayorof st. Paul,
was an ardent supporter of such an
institution, and donated site for
that purpose. 1t was never used as
such, but instead was ratified off, and
the proceeds used for various purpo-
ses. When Mr.. Kiefer died a suit was
instigated by his estate to recover the
property donated by him to the order.
Owing to the expense incurred in this
litigation, it was thought advisable
not to consider the project seriously
at present. 1t is the hope of most OF
the members, however, that this home
will at some future time be realized.
The reports of the officers showed a
reserve fund of 5000, an increase
over last year of SIT, 900. The order
invests its money as rule in county
bonds.
The present total membership in the
state is $500.

PRIVATE BANKS TO BE DEBARRED
Bill to Bring All Banks Under State
Control is Recommended.

Private banks are doomed in Mime

and banking has by unanimous vote
recommended the passageof the Adams
bill requiring all persons, firms or
companies doing a banking business
to incorporate under the laws of the
state or cease advertising under the
name of bank, banking house, banker
or trust company. Many legislators
who opposed a similar measure two
years ago are now strongly convinced
that all banking institutions should be
under the supervision Of the public
examiner.
The Citizens Bank of this city, which
is one of the strongest private banks
of the state and at the same time the
strongest financial institution of this
city, will Of necessity come under the
ban.
In the interests of the community
this is to be regretted, but as some one
