THE PRESS PLEASED
Newspapers of Adjoining Towns Say
Nice Things About the Fourth
of July Celebration

A number of the newspapers print
ed in neighboring towns say nice
things about tie recent Fourth O.
July celebration in Sauk Centre. AL
agree that the event was a great
credit to the city. Here follow some
of the press comments:
A nicer or better celebration OF
the Fourth of July was never held
in Sauk Centre or Stearns county
than the one at Sauk Centre this
year. On the same day was observ-
ed the fiftieth jubilee of the settle
ment of Sauk Centre, and this help
ed greatly in the proper observance
of the day. Sauk Centre felt, and
had a right to feel proud on such a
day, as Sauk Centre is one of the
incest cities in Stearns county. At
10 o'clock the big parade occurred
The business men of the city were
represented by fine floats. After tn
parade, Mayor F. E. Minette CAV
an address of welcome, which was
we'll received. The rest of the day
was enlivened with all kinds of sports
There were horse racing, ball
game between Alexandria and Long
Prairie, and other sports. In the
evening there was a public wedding,
that never occurred be-
fore in the county. The young cou-
pie were given a purse of $4,000 and
the business men helped to start
them out in housekeeping, with pres
ents of furniture. A this monster
celebration there were more people in
Sauk Centre than ever before, and
everything went off just as though
it were an everyday event. Mayor
Minette as chairman, and other men,
oers of the committee worked hard
10 make it a success and the wea-
her man helped. 1t is an honor
'or Sauk Centre to have such al
,elebration.-Der Nordstern.
Sauk Centre was the "big noise" IN
he way of a celebration around
lere and it is estimated that Osakis
contributed between 400 and 500 peo-
)le to our sister city's immense
crowd. Over 800 tickets had been
;old here for trains 6 and 2 to Sauk
Centre, and g. number went down

TRUTH TOLD UNDER DIFFICULTY
When the Rules of Evidences Are
Brought to Bear Upon Witness.

Recently the writer was called to
testify as a witness in a case before
a court in the city of Boston. He
was told to hold up his right hand,
and was made to swear that in his
testimony i'll the case he would
tell the truth " This he pro-
ceeded to do to the best of his
knowledge and belief. But in the
cross-eXamination a lawyer was
permitted by the court to do his
best to induce the witness to tell
something else than the truth, and
he was also prevented from telling
the whole truth as he had sworn
to do; not because what he would
say was not true, nor because it
was net pertinent to the case, but
because it was ruled out on certain
technical rules of evidence which
prevail in our court procedure
Moreover, a certain part of the
testimony was stricken out; not
because it was not true, nor be-
cause it was not pertinent, but on
similar technical grounds. The
part erased from the record was an
essential part of the testimony, and
the erasure left the witness as hav-
ing testified to a matter of which
he could not have testified except
under the circumstance, mention of
which was stricken from the record.
In an attendance on a good many
cases in court we nave observed
that according to the customary
methods of the treatment of wit
nesses it is the careful and CON
sCientiOus witness who is usually
lIlOSl OliIJdI / dSSCu, L iIC care lCSS
and perhaps constituencies witness
finds it easy to make statements
which come within the rules of
evidence; but the witness who tries
to testify exactly in accordance
with the oath he has taken is cou-
stantly harassed by objections of
counsel and the limitations imposed
by the courts. After a good deal
of observation and several ex-
perienCes the writer is convinced
that the administration of an oath
to a witness to tell the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the
truth, - and then the permission of
practices by the court of methods
which prevent the witness from
keeping his oath strictly and fully.
IS nothing less than a solemn farce.

! TO the trade and commerce of the
country as a whole. The advo-
Gates of National aid for better
roads believe that the improve
ment of the public highway is of
even greater importance to the
people of the entire country, since
this IS a matter that affects every
industrial interest, and will bene-
mt the trade and commerce of
every section of the United States.
| have recently had brought to
my attention i'll a striking form
the facts as to the relatively small
proportion of the nations revenue
that is DEVOTED to purposes affect
ing the great agricultural interests
of the country. Statistics of the
exports from the United States for
the ten years ending with 1000,
show that nearly 90 per cent.
(59I3 to be exact of the exports
during that period were the pro-
ducts of our farms, the total value
of these products amounting to
more than eight billions OF dollars.
Yet, for the benefit of the industry
producing these enormous values,
there was expended during the
same period less than one per cent.
of the total Federal expenditures,
met chiefly by indirect taxes paid
largely by the farmers of the entire
country During that period Con-
gress appropriated $3.50, $4,000
for the Improvement of our water
ways and harbors, but not one dol
lar (unless the few thousands an
nually Appropriated for the Office
of Public Roads, L. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture, are SO regard
ed for the Improvement of our
highways.
The farmers are determined that
this state OF affairs shall not CON
tinue. They have made up their
minds that Congress must devote
share Of the annual appropria-
tons to the construction and main
tenance of our roads. They are
not committed to any special policy
as to how these appropriations
shall be expended, 50 long as care
is taken that the money is wisely
devoted to the purpose for which
it is intended. Some of us be-
lieve that the creation ola Nation
al Highways Commission, with
power to organize an efficient corps
of trained road engineers, who il
corporation with the state and
local authorities, would supervise
the disbursement, to be satisfactory
solution Of the problem. This is,
however, a matter to be worked
out by the Committees of the
House and Senate which will pass
on the legislation to establish the
general policy of National aid, and
| am confident that a plan will be
devised that will be satisfactory to
Congress, that state and local road
officials, and the people of the
country as a whole.
National aid will not, as some
persons have suggested, lessen the
interest of the states, counties,
and townships in road improve
ment. On the contrary, the roads
constructed with Federal assist
anCe will serve to stimulate every
where the desire for better roads,
and will be the means of ultimately
giving the entire country a uniform
system of scientifically constructed
