GUARANTEE OF CITIZENSHIP

Minneapolis last week to assist in
burning mortgage placed there by its
members several years ago Oh ST.

Minneapolis, at festival in the event
given last Saturday evening.
There is yet in existence one of these
old fashioned chromos about the ''burn-
ing of the mortgage" on the home.
that is always interesting to the
thoughtful. To see in the glow of the
bright light of coal fire in the
CRATE in the room at the home, the
peaceful smiles that played about the
face of the man and wife as; the last
dollar had been paid on the mortgage
and they are about ready to burn
the document, strikes a sympathetic;
cord in every household Where the
same experience has been gone through
with.
; A mortgage on. home is a guar
aftee of good citizenship, passport
tp prosperity and peaceful ending.
Three fourths of the homes in the
United States have had mortgage on
them at some time Those who never
passed through a period of this kind
know little about the anxiety and
strife that mortgage is to the in
dustrious and hard working family.
1t is the mortgagor who makes the
nation the same as the tin pail makes
a prosperous community.

The prisoners who have pleaded
guilty in the district court were this
afternoon given their sentences. John
Graham was the first up, and had no
attorney. He is the man who COM
mitted forgery in the second degree and
passed some of his handiwork on the
j. b. & ID. Richards. He was sentenced
to serve one year in Saltwater prisons.
William Lang, who stole packet of
pocket knives from travelling mans
sample case at the Saulpaugh, was SEN
fenced to Saltwater for six months.

plea to one of the indictments against
him, and entered plea of guilty to
the second one, which charges him
with having stolen two pairs of oars
from George w. Sugden's boathouse at
Madison Lake. He told the court, in
reply to questions, that he was sent

fourteen years ago, from Madison Lake.
He was separated from his wife. and
has three children. He had spent the
last winter fishing. The court sentenced
him to Saltwater prison for six

Judge Pau said That his policy was
to make the sentences light enough to
give the defendants a chance again in
the hope that they would do better.
As to Knapp, he had been informed that
his record was not very good, but the
second Indictment would not be push
ed if he showed that he was reformed

orders be drawn for the men on the
payroll after this, and this was car
ried F
The bills were allowed, including a
payroll of $937.35, of which $1O5.70
wa for streets, $50 for 80 eyergreens
at the park, and 1857 for new boil
er for the pumping station, made by
the Mankato Manufacturing company.
An order for $75 fer Jacob Effer for
gathering the garbage during May was
allowed. The bills we're numerous and
will take every cent in the city trea-
sury.
City Engineer Haynes said that he
had many;calls from all parts of town
since the rains to nave street work
done, and asked whether all the work
should be done in its order or more
men hired. The payroll was already
large.
The aldermen thought that more men
should be hired and the work pushed.
The committee on fire department
recommended that dty water be car
ried into the West AIankato hose house,
a new floor put down, and papering
done. Aid. MahowaId moved that this
work be done by the board of public
works, and this was carried.
Aid. Mahowald moved that the il
Illuminating arches be turned on Monday
night, and this was carried.
The committee or. printing reported
that the Free Press Printing company
had been the lowest bidder for printing
$500 copies of the annual report of the
chief of the fire department, and had
been awarded the contract.
Reopen Bridge Foot Path.
The committee on city property re-
ported that the Minnesota river bridge
is in bad shape, needing planking
and repainting. The plank taken
from the fire station floor could be
used to- repair the flooring.
The city recorder was authorized to
advertise for bids for scraping and re-
painting the bridge.
Aid Mahowald moved tnat the north
foot passenger walk on the bridge
be repaired by the board of public
work and, then reopened for traffic.
This was carried after some discussion
as to whether it had better be re-
opened unless North Mankato pays
for the repairs. 1t was finally decided
to ask the North Mankato council to
assist. to whatever extent that it is
able, but that, the work be done any
way. 1t was felt that North Man
kato would. hardly take the narrow
stand of refusing altogether to assist.
Drinking Fountains.
Aid. Gary reported that last fall the
Commercial club had asked that public
drinking fountains be erected in the
city, and he had recently investigated
the cost. They can be had for $l2
to $40 each, without being set, and the
kind That the, club wanted could be
secured and set for sos each. He
asked what the aldermen wanted to do.
He wouldn't care to drink out OF
fountains after some people.
None of the aldermen favored buying
fountains, as it was felt that the ex
pcnse was, not justified by any neces
sity for the Fountains 1t was thought
that the fountains would pr9Ne 9nsani-

BRYAN EULOGIZED
On Visit to House Of Representatives
Clashes with Bailey and Comments
On a Court Decision.
on a Court Decision.

" ~~@-~~~@- d
A Washington special says: The
presence Of William Jennings Bryan
in the lobby Of the house furnished in
spiration to Mr.. Wallace OF Arkansas
for vigorous speech in which, while
admitting that Mr.. Bryan had made
mistakes and. had been charged with
talking too much, he said that the Ne
braskan was worthy the honor and suf-
frage of all the states.
In window recess Of the wide hall
in front Of the senate chamber, Mr..
Bryan held an impromptu reception for
senators and representatives for about
an hour.
An animated discussion took place
between Senator Bailey and Mr.. Bry-
! an. AS Mr.. Bryan said later, the dis
cussion was about the democratic view
Of the currency question. Both Mr..
Bryan and Senator Bailey said there
had been very little difference Of
opinion. Both stood for the direct gov
eminent issue of money instead Of an
issue through the banks. Mr.. Bryan
would make no statement as to wheth-
er he approved Of the complete plan
Of Senator Bailey as outlined in the
substitute he will offer for the Aldrich
bill, but he said that its basis was
good democratic doctrine brought
down from the time of Jefferson.
Mr.. Bryan's attention being called
to the supreme court decision holding
that a corporation has the right to
discharge man because he is a mem
Der of labor union, he dictated q
statement which, in part, is as fol
lows:
1.-THE subject is one Of vital import
ance, and do not understand by what
course of reasoning the majority OF the
court reached the decision announced
A corporation is a creature Of law. II
has no rights except those given 1t by
law, and it must not be confused with
the natural men. Man was created to
cary out divine purpose. The corpo-
ration was created to make money. The
corporation enjoys many rights and
privileges which are denied TO the In
dividual, and 1t cannot claim the pos
session Of any natural or inalienable
/ rights. The power that creates a cor
poration can restrict IT. restrain 1t and
control it, and congress has plenary
powers in d. ing with corporations
in so far as they engage Ia interstate
commerce.
The union is lawful association,
and II man can be discharged be-
cause he belongs to a labor union, by
the same logic he can be discharged il
he belongs to a political party obJec-
tionable to the employer, or church
against which the employer Is preju-
diced. Followed to it's logical conclu-
sion, the principle laid down by the
court, as understand the decision.

itself up as dictator in regard to the

Greatly to the surprise OF everyone.
the subject Of slavery was introduced
in the senate Monday during consider
alton Of the penal code bill Secretary
Taft was directly charged with hay-
Ing q knowledge Of slavery in the
Philippines. The debate was pertinent
to the sections Of the bill revising the
criminal code OF the United States.
which provides penalties for dealing
in slaves.
The old laws against the slave trade
have been retained in the code BY the
committee, reporting It with "a change,
by which the word persons is sub
stituted for the words negroes mulat-
toes and colored persons" Mr.. Hale
declared that slavery being thing OF
the past all reference to- it, should De
taken odt of the code.
Mr.. Hepburn, in charge .of the bill,
contended for the retention Of the pro-
vision saying that there are forms Of
slavery other than those that were
abolished by the civil war. He cited
coone slavery, and slavery for immoral
purposes, which he said exists in this
country, and said the Is prohibition
wonldsapply to such practices Hs said
that he had heard 1t charged that slay-
cry Of the cid-fashioned kind still ex-
