ADDRESS TO THE STUDENTS
Messrs. Bede and Iverson Talk at the
High School.

Congressman j. Adam Bede and
State Auditor Iverso9 accepted invita-
tions from Superintendent Mcconnell
to address the high school this morn
ing, and the students were given a
treat. Hon. John Lind was invited
and was expected to be present, but
did not put in an appearance.
Mr.. Iverson told of the condition
of the state school funds, and how
it is invested, what it yields, how
distributed, etc. Mr.. Bede gave one
of his Enthusiastically humorous ad-
dresses, and when he sat down he
was obliged by the applause to get up
and make another speech. In this way
more than an hour was spent very
enjoyably and profitably.
After the political meetings last
night all of the speakers gathered
at the Elks club rooms and were ten
dered an informal reception, and brief
talks were given by each of them.

ONE CAUSE OF CRIME.

Judge Mckenzie Cleland of the Chi
cago court, denounces the criminal laws
of this country as so absolute that
they belong to the dark ages. He
spoke more particularly of the crimi-
nal laws of Chicago, and said they
operated most harshly against the poor.
thousands are punished yearly, who
if they had the money to fight their
cases, would 60 free. Last year more
than 1000 men went to the Bridewell
for violations of some one of our
5000 city ordinances.
"The Illinois Central Railroad COM
pany was fined $50 for the violation of
a city ordinance last week. This COM
pany made $l5O,O0O the day the fine
was imposed and cleared $57,OOO,OOO
last year, and the stockholders have
been lying awake nights to think out
way to pay their fine"
Judge Cleland maintained that fifty
per cent of the cases are determined
on questions of practice anH not on
questions of justice. This is one great
cause of the increase of crime-an
increase three times faster than our
population.

REMAINS STREWN ON TRACK
Man Killed by Train Near Comfrey,
CouIdn't Be Identified.

Comfrey, Oct. 29.yAs Charles Tom
schine, farmer, w6s walking to Com
frey yesterday AFTERNOON, he was hor-
rified to find the remains of man
strewn along the railway track. He mo-
titled the deputy coroner, DIR. J. A.
Prim, who went out and viewed the
remains. The man had been practically
ground to pieces, portions of his head
and foot being the largest pieces.
A pocketbosk containing $3.50 in sill
yer was found, and 20 cents in silver
was picked up near the clothing.
There was absolutely nothing by
which immediate identification could
be made. An inquest was deemed un-
necessary, and Sunday afternoon the
remains were buried i'm the Cottonwood
cemetery. The man was apparently a
transient laborer, and it is presumed
that he was killed the previous night
by a north bound freight.

From Thursdays Daily.

berry Saturday night, but it was not
discovered until Monday afternoon.

entered by some unknown party, EVIL
IDENTIFY by unlocking the front door

for a long time been carrying on pro-
health through the elimination of pre-.
ventable diseases. This committee of
one hundred is composed of physicians
and men engaged in active sociological
work in every part of the country, and
the results of their Investigations and
experience are all available to DR..
Fisher, so that his report ought to be
the most thorough going and complete
summary of the situation ever made.
At the tuberculosis congress, Profess
sor Fisher declared that $4,000 per-
sons die of consumption every year.
The cost of medical attendance and
the loss of earnings before death ever
age at least $2,400, he said, while
if to this is added the money that
might have been earned with health,
the total loss in each case is about $4,000.
He pointed out, also, that the disease
usually attacks young men and women
just at the time when they are begin
ming to earn money and cuts off their
earning power for about three years
on an average, before they die.
This subject of the economic value
to the country of general raising of
the average health came up in the
governors conference at the White
House in May. DR.. George NJ. Kober
in his speech on the Conservation of
Life and Health by Improved Water
Supply" at the conference presented
figures which showed that the decrease
in the vital assets" of the country
through typhoid fever in single year
is more than $35O,OOO,OOO. Typhoid is
spread by polluted water largely so
that the death rate from this disease
can be directly reduced by the puri-
fication of city drinking water. DR..
Kober quoted statistics to show that
the increased value of the water to
the city of Albany, where the typhoid
fever rate was reduced from l04 in
100000 to 26 by an efficient filtration
plant, amounts to $475,000 year, of
which $350,000 may be considered real
increase to the vital assets of the
city. Census bureau figures show that
the average annual death rate from ty-
phoid in cities with contaminated
water supplies was reduced from 64.4
per 100000 to 1913 by the substitution
of pure supplies.

BAN ON COMIC SUPPLEMENT.

The Boston Herald's recent abandon
ment of the "comic supplement" shows
the trend of modern journalism, says
The Kansas Star. Other newspapers
have come to regard this feature OF
the Sunday newspaper as mistake,
although they do not yet see their
way clear to cut loose.
From the outset The Star has
looked upon the so-called 'comic" as a
journalistic excrescence. 1t has felt
that the money. devoted to these taw-
dry exhibitions of bad taste and poor
printing could be expended in other
ways of much more benefit to the
readers. Thus, when other newspapers
began to run riotously to colored sup
plements, The Star gave it's subscrib-
ers complete morning edition with
OUT extra charge.
1t has consistently devoted itself to
furnishing a newspaper with all the
news, well written, inteligently edited,
and with every detail as nearly per-
feet as possible. This it has conceived
to be its duty rather than to supply
large quantities of wood pulp smeared
with red, green and yellow ink. The
ample support it has received, it is
glad to believe, is evidence that its
readers quite agree with this view.
Some months ago The Free Press
expressed its opinion of the comic
supplement and put it down as one
of the things that should be cast into
the rubbish heap. The comic supple
ment is an instrument for evil.

Thus far nothing of value has been
missed. A careful investigation will
probably be made, however, and it
may be that the miscreants will be APP

The fact that the parties were as

that no efforts should be spared toward
melting out proper punishment to them.
The family interested, however, is hard
ly disposed to prosecute the case, being
thankful that the damage done was
not far greater.

During the absence of the family
who spent the greater part of the
summer at lake, mirauders entered
a certain residence in Mankato at
frequent intervals and committed all
sorts of depredations.
The family returned recently and
found their home in bad disorder. The
culprits had broken into it and made
themselves very much at home. They
had turned everything topsy turvy
Contents of drawers and, closets were
strewn everywhere, the beds had been
slept in. Preserves and iellies had
