Theft OFASMALL PURSE
ACT GETS TWO YOUNG MEN IN
TO SERIOUS TROusLE.
One Stole the Wallet and Other At
tempted to Pass Chips on q
Grocery Store.
From Mondays Daily.

Mrs. Wilkinson, who lives near Eagle
Lake, drove to the city Saturday after
noon to trade, and left her purse in
the buggy, where it could be seen by
passers-by. Shortly after two O'Clock,
two young men, seventeen or eighteen
years old, walked by the buggy, saw
the purse, and one of them stole it.
This was young man who lives
in Minneapolis, but ON account of his
having relatives in Mankato who are
excellent people his name is not made
public. His companion, who gave the
name of Clearance Nelson, and also
claimed to live in Minneapolis, took
the contents of the purse, which con.
sited mainly of chips good in trade
at Otto's grocery store, and went to
that store and bought some tables
and threw out one of the checks in
payment.
Mrs. Wilkinson had previously in
formed the Messrs. Otto of her loss,
so when Nelson threw ont check
good ,for so cents worth of goods,
C. X. Otto made a pretense of going
ont to get some change and slipped
over to the police station and brought
an officer back, who placed the young
man under arrest. His. companion was
soon located. Each claimed that the
other did the actual stealing. 'H
Both young men were Natter arraignea
on the charge of petty larceny and
pleaded guilty. Nelson was given ten
days at hard labor, and his companion
fifteen days, because he took the purse
and then tried to make it appear that
Nelson did it.
The purse contained So worth Of
chips, and small sum of money. The
young men arrived in Mankato last
Monday and have been living cheaply
on a small amount of money ever
since. Nelson claimed to have been
looking for a job in bakery, and said
that he worked for two weeks at

A State-Full of Insurgency.

There was a majority OF eleven in
e very large vote Of the House on
Friday, in favor Of sending back to
conference the postal appropriation
bill. The action was taken because
the conference report recommended
acceptance Of the Senate's ship sub
sidy amendment. It was the most
the House could do by way of ex-
pressing disapproval of the amend
ment.
Ten members Of the House from
Wisconsin, eight of them Republi-
cans, voted with the Democrats IN
favor of rejecting the conference
report. Just one Wisconsin man.
Jenkins, remained loyal to the Be
publican organization in the
House Wisconsin, therefore, is en-
S5tled to the credit of defeating the
proposal; more than that, the Wis
consin Republicans alone defeated
it. by joining with the Democrats.
These Wisconsin Republicans in
the House are leading the cause of
insurgency against the established
order, just as La Toilette has been
leading it in the Senate. Cooper
and Nelson have been irreconcilabIe
on the subject Of the House rules.
The State showed a majority of
votes against the currency legisla-
tion. Now it defeats ship subsidy.
Senator La Toilette, in the upper
chamber, may fairly be given the
. largest measure Of responsibility
for the defeat Of the Aldrich bill
His great speech in the Senate did
not, indeed effect the measures
defeat in that body; but it had a
tremendous influence with the
country; and this influence. reflect
ed back upon the membership of
the House. weighed heavily in the
scale against the Rhode Island
Senator's emergency money meas
ure.
Wisconsin, in short. is a thor
oughly insurgent State. It is safely
enough Republican-so long as Re
puhlicanism is reasonably progress
sive. It is willing enough to follow
Roosevelt and La Follette But

One Consolation.

The House has thrown sand in
the cogs Of the District govern
ment. It's police. fire, school, and
public health departments viii all
suffer through the compromises re-
quired of the Senate conferees, and
the reduction consequent in the
Senate allowances. a total Of Si2,-
coo, 900 could have been spent eco
nomically on the District this year,
instead of 10000, 600 This latter
sum cannot be spent economically.
But there is one item which
stands in which the whole District
and every member of Congress can
take unqualified satisfaction. It
was written into the appropriation
act by the Senate, and as reported
back by the conferees it reads:
For hreproof construction in the fol
lowing three buildings authorized ii

The effect of this legislation is
1. To set a new standard of school
construction in the American Capt.
tai.
2. To begin an era Of freproof
construction Of schools for the chill
dren of the District of Columbia.
3. To begin that era two years
earlier than the time fixed by last
years appropriation act.
4. To safeguard the lives Of $500
school children every year who
must otherwise have been exposed
to the dangers of combustible
buildings.

A Kindly Tip.

If the Republican leaders in Con-
gress have not lost altogether that
astuteness which has kept their
party in power for half century,
they will reject the pending $4,000
600 ship subsidy proposition by Re
publican votes. 1t was beaten in
the House yesterday mainly by the
Democrats. Whoever beats it will
have a long lever to move the mass
of the voters; whoever passes it
viii find his hands tied.
For the American people have no
favor for subsidies. They are
growing suspicious even of subsi-
dies sugar-cOated and labeled tariff
schedules. If money is to be spent
developing commerce, they want it
spent on inland waterways, not on
powerful corporations sailing TO
foreign ports and doing most of
their buying in foreign markets.

whenever Republieanism gets too
far away from the standards of
these men, it is perfectly plain that
Wisconsin is going to be a doubtful
State. It is today simply one great
State-full Of insurgency.
Turn to the Empire State Of New
York. whose electoral vote will
mean, in the next Presidential con-
test, just what Wiseonsin's vote
meant in the House yesterday: vic
tory TO one party, defeat to the
other. How far is New York out Of
harmony with this same Wisconsin
attitude of mind? New York city
elected Hearst mayor; New York
State elected every candidate of an
entire State ticket, except one, on
a platform of Hearstism. Is New
York, on the record, TO be set down
as essentially conservative while
Wisconsin is essentially radical? Is
Hearst, in the public mind. more
conservative than Ia Toilette?
These insurgent communities are
getting so numerous that they must
be granted especial consideration.
They are rapidly making rebellion
successful; and that means revolu-
tor.
