CHANCELLOR DAY REPLIES TO
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S MESSAGE

there is just prejudice enough in a
great class of the people, there is just
moral pretense enough in all rantin G
TO make it winning game for a time,
but just as sure as God is true. and
right is right, d day of Judgment is
coming and you need not envy the
scandal mongers who in that day will
take their places on the indelible pa
ges of history.
''Evils there have been, evils there
are. and always will be, but they never
have been ano never will be remedied
by the blind guides who are leading
the people into the ditch with indiscri-
inmate defamation.
Honor there is, too. Honesty there
is in our men of business, which is our
nations mightiest asset, and which we
may boast as our just pride and glory.
1.-THE trouble has not been that our
great genluses Of commerce and manu-
facture have become malefactors. The
world has no nobler men. The trouble
; has been that the muck and slime OF
the vili6ers have been flung over them
until we are discredited in the markets

"No wonder that wild, frenzied, des-
perate effort is made to throw off the

The above is a good likeness of r.
W. Scherer who last week disposed of
the Well-knOWn Peter Scherer' lumber
yard and business to the Fullerton
Lumber company Of Minneapolis. The
yard is one of the finest in the city,
and Mr.. Dirk>, local manager for the
Fullertons, will immediately transfer
his offices from the old place on Val
ley street to the more desireable one
on Centre. Eventually it is intended
to abandon the Valley street yard, as
with the present demand for building
material in this vicinity two yards in
New Ulm are considered amply suffi-
cient.
Mr.. Scherer, 1t is announced, Will
devote his entire attention to the up.
building of the Minnesota Flint Rock
Co., OF which he is manager and in
which he and his relatives are heavily

FIRE DESTROYS EVAN ELEVATOR.
Sleepy Eye Milling Company's
Warehouse Consumed in Mid.
night Blaze.

The Sleepy Eye Milling Company's
elevator in Evan was burned to the
ground Wednesday night, and ac-
cordlng to the Sleepy Eye Dispatch
the local fire department had hard
time of it trying to save the Eagle
Roller Mill company's warehouse and
ether buildings nearby. Fortunately,
says the Dispatch, the wind was in the
west and with no buildings in the east
it was possible for the fire fighters to
do heroic work.
The origin of the fire, which started
about midnight, is still mystery.
W. P. Hoy, the company's agent, says
that when he left the elevator there
was but little fire in the stove in the
Office, and, if the fire did not start
there, the only other explanation is
that it was of incendiary origin.
The elevator held several thousand
bushels of grain, and some coal, and
Mr.. Hoy had about 800 worth of furs
in the building. The milling COM
pany's loss is covered by insurance.

POULTRY SHOW BIG SUCCESS
In the Neighborhood OF Three
Hundred Specimens Entered
for Exhibition.
Over Half of These Came From
Outside Towns.
Attendance Yesterday Was Far
Ahead Of What Anyone EX-
pected.

Said the little brown rooster to the
little grey hen, you haven't laid an
egg since the lord knows when. Said
the little grey hen to the little brown
rooster-Well, it would be hard to tell
just what she did say. There were SO
many of them there and the noise was
SO deafening, that particular conVer-
sations were quite unintelligible.
We are speaking, of course, of the
poultry show.
In all there were two hundred and
seventy-five specimens on exhibition
and they represented breeds of every
conceivable kind. Over half Of them
came from outside towns and among
the specimens were many that had won
prizes at poultry shows before. New
Ulm birds, however, were not SO slow
and in the awarding Of premiums it is
thought there will be many surprises.
The attendance, too, at the show is
a big surprise. Throughout the entire
opening day the Boesch building was
literally jammed with people, and be-
fore the show is over tomorrow even
ing it is believed that every man,
woman and child in the city will have
witnessed the exhibits.
Compared with the show given at
Mankato recently the New Ulm affair
is really bowling success. The man
ayers, therefor who have it inland, can
we'll afford to be throwing boquets at
each other over their efforts.

Falls Poultry association took in the
show yesterday.

c. A. Patchln has been reelected
uperintendent of the Springfield
schools at a salary of 81, 525. This
will make Supt Patchin's fifth conse-
cutive term at the head of Springield's
fourishing schools.
While in cell in the Nicollet coun-
ty jail awaiting trial for an assault
upon his companion, Howard Cowles,
at Courtland, Leon Williamson, the
Cambria woodchopper, received word
that his only brother had been stabbed
and killed by a negro near his old
home at Blue Jacket, Oklahoma. A
letter telling of the tragedy came to
Williamson on Wednesday and told
how the prisoners brother had been
attacked by the negro, a notorious
character in, the community, and
hacked with a razor until he fell from
wounds which soon afterwards proved
fatal. The circumstance is interesting
from the fact that Williamson came
very near ending the life of boon
companion in a similar manner.
A striking simile, although a little
far-fetched, that applies to the worth
of the fanciful fairyesque, "The Gin
gerbread Man, is that it is as near
perfection as ''the gingerbread that
mother used to make" 1.-THE Ginger
bread Man. is a great, big musical
show that gladdens the heart and de-
lights the eye. The flavor Of merry
yuletide pervades every line of the
dialogue and every picture on the
stage. Kris Kringle and his reindeers,
Jack Horner and his plum, Margery
Daw, Simple Simon and his nursery
ryhmes and jingles, Wondrous Wise,
Sallie Lunn and many others of the
mythical land of Santa Claus, all are
old friends whom you see in 1.-The
Gingerbread Man" and make of it a
succession of beautiful pictures, funny
song hits, pretty girls and wonderful
electrical and mechanical effects.
"The Gingerbread Man" will be pre-
sented here soon with the big cast,
chorus and scenic equipment that
char act erized the famous engagement
in New York.

Chancellor Day of Syracuse univer-
sity and supp 1sed spokesman of John
D. Rockefeller has taken it upon him
self to rebuke the president for the
hasty and Incorporate tone Of his re-
cent message.
The Review cannot endorse all Of
the learned chancellor's views, but it is
perfectly willing that he should be
given respectful hearing, believing
that only from a free and nntram-
meled discussion of these important
and all-absorbing questions can the
exact truth be ascertained.
Speaking to the auditors about him
and to the whole county at large, Mr.
Day said
''If you acquiesce and by silence
consent to the infamous work Of the
scandal mOngers and permit the wi
dening of the chasm between our thrift
ty classes and the restless anarchistic
socialists; if you lndifferently look on
an agitation that invites the anarchist
to sharpen his dagger and that ap-
peals to the poor to take the property
of the rich with violence because it has
been stolen from them; if you admit
the justice and righteousness Of the
assaults upon the mighty forms Of our

COUNTY FAIR DATES REARRANGED
Brown County Society Asks for
Change and Gets 1t.

A general rearrangement of the fair
dates of the agricultural societies
composing the Southern Minnesota
Short Ship circuit was made last week.
When the meeting of the circuit was
held at Mankato on January 9th the
following dates we're assigned: LIE
Sueur, Sept. 7, s and 8; Mankato, Sept.
10, II and Il: New Ulm, Sept. Ii, Is
and IS; St. Peter, Sept. II, Is and l9.
The Brown County Agricultural So
ciety was dissatisfied with the dates
assigned it, and a general rearrange-
ment followed. No change was made
at LIE Sueur, but New Ulm will get
Sept. 10, II and Il, ST. Peter, Sept. IA,
Is and l6, and Mankato, Sept. II, Is
and 10. These dates, it is understood,
are satisfactory to all concerned, and
will be considered permanent.

When asked by New York World
correspondent what he thought of
Gov. Johnson as the democratic can
didate for president, William Jen-
nings Bryan is quoted as saying:
"The greatest objection [ have heard
to him is that the World considers him
fit man and I think that it's support
is an unfair reflection upon him.
That hardly jibes with the Manahan
theory that Johnson is candidate of
the ''interests.''

Must Charge to Get Crowd.

The ladies' guild of an uptown church
had planned an evening entertainment
and reception and asked the rector to
make announcement Of it on the Sun
day preceding.
"This is all right" he said. "but you
must charge admission"
"Why, this is just a social evening" !"
they protested. I'VE are inviting peo-
pie"
"They won't come," said the rector,
"because they will think it is not worth
while. But charge a small admission
and you will have a good crowd" So
events proved the rector was right

The Manless club was formed
three years ago in Alton, the char
ter members being fourteen promin-
ent women of the town, all married.
Since that time eight of the mem
bers have been visited by the stork,
and in every instance the bird has
left girl baby.
Branches of the club have been
organized in many cities and in
states as far distant as Colorado and
California. 1t is alleged that among
the members of these subordinate
lodges the stork is just as partial to
female children, and it is feared
that If the idea is carried farther,
posterity will consist of the gentle
sex only.

WOMAN KILLED BY A RELATIVE
J. NJ. Phillips Beats Mrs. June Smith
to Death and Hills Himself.

Specials in Mondays papers gave
the details of terrible tragedy
enacted near Randlett, Okla, Satur
day evening in which Mrs. June
Smith was beaten to death by her
brother-in-law, j. NJ. Phillips. 1t
now develops that Phillips was well
known here. He was a railroad con-
tractor by occupation and had a
number of contracts on the Trinity
and Brazos Valley. He graded the
last mile of the road leading up te
the city limits. While at work here
his camp was located near J. B. Will
sons farm.
Phillips was recently in Texas on
a visit. He returned to his home
near Randlett, Okla, Saturday af-
ternoon and proceeded to raise a
row with his wife and Mrs Smith.
He followed Mrs. Smith to her home
and beat her to death with a rock
He fled from the scene of his crime
and sought refuge in a house in the
hills. officers surrounded the house
during the night. Seeing that escape
was impossible and resistance use
less Phillips shot himself through
the head.

BIC CROP AND PICKERs SCARCE
Farmers Sending in Appeals to Com
missioner Of Agriculture.

Austin, Texas, Aug. From the
are daily received by the state de-
partment of agriculture from farm
ers and others in the cotton produc-
ing section of the state, the question
of securing laborers, or rather cot
ton pickers to gather the present
crop, is serious problem. These
writer's are appealing to Commis-
sioner of Agriculture Miner to sug-
gest to them where they can get cot
ton pickers, and he is now making
an effort, not to supply the demand
exactly but to do what he can to-
ward that end. 1t seems that negro
and Mexican cotton pickers are de-
cidedly scarce and not available at
the places where they are now need
ed to gather the crops.
Commissioner of Agriculture Mil
ner is at loss to account for such
a decided scarcity of cotton pickers.
In some sections 1t may become nee
essary to import Mexicans to pick
the crop. Among the communica-
tions and letters received by Com
missioner Miner was one yesterday
from l.. A. Markham, secretary of
the Terrell Commercial Club. He
writes:
~ am instructed by the Terrell
Commercial Club to inquire II you
can suggest to us any plan for Sc
curing laborers for the farmers of
this section. The indications now are
that bumper cotton crop will be
made, and unless some steps are
taken to solve the labor problem,
the supply will be entirely made
quate to gather the crop.
$50 far as I know there are only
two classes of people that we could
likely secure-Mexicans and ne
groes-and we shall esteem it spe-
cial favor If you can suggest some
method of getting at these.
The scarcity of cotton pickers is
more marked in view of the indica-
tions of a bumper cotton crop over
the state this year.

MAYF|ELD OFFERS
PLAN FOR RELIEF
Presents Three Propositions in
Behalf Of Southwest
Shippers.
TO STOP THE RATE RAISE
Interstate Commerce Commissioners
Hear Case Of Texans, but Can
Offer Little Satisfaction-No
Power to Act.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Allison
Mayfield, chairman of the Texas
state railroad commission, laid be-
fore the interstate commerce COM
mission yesterday three PROPOSE
tions, the adoption of any one OF
which, he asserted, would effective
ly checkmate the plans of railroads
in the south and southwest, particu
larly, to put into effect increased
rates August 10.
Every suggestion made by the
Texas commissioner was met with
response that the interstate COM
merce commission under the law has
no power to act until the proposed
rates actually have been put in
force. Finally, he was forced to re-
sort to the process of filing a COM
plant in the ordinary way. Mr.. May
field was in conference with Chair
man Knapp and Mr.. Clements of the
commission for more than an hour
liz Ill oI vi NIL .ha ISld ploPo-
sitions for relieving southwest ship
pers of the burdens which would be
imposed by the increased rate, was
that the commission forbid the rail-
roads to put the new tariff into ef-
| feet until after the commission has
had opportunity to pass upon the
! ynn h lon Of ho IN
crease.
That the commission has the
power to take this action is the le-
gal opinion of Senator Cu1berson
who has studied the rate law from
its inception.
The second proposition advanced
by Mr.. Mayfield was that the inter-
state commerce commission declare
! that the proposed increase is the
result of a combination of the rail-
roads in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law, and that the COM
mission address letter to the at
torney general to this effect and ask
| that the law be enforced if the rail-
roads attempt to make the rates ef-
fective. The enforcement of the
Sherman law, says Mr.. Mayfield,
| would give relief at once.
The basis rate from st. Louis to
Texas points three years ago was
$1.33 per 100 pounds. This the rail-
roads increased to $1.37, which is
| the rate in effect today
The interstate commerce commits
sion of Its own volition, investigat-
| ed this rate and declared it to be un-
| reasonable, but inasumch as no one
made complaint the commission was
without authority to order a reduc-
ton.
Mr.. Mayfield's third proposition
was that the interstate commerce
| commission on formal complaint en-
ter an order on its findings and
| hearings in the original case, de-
claring any advance over the exist
ing rate unreasonable and prevent
Its going into effect.

the office of good roads is to make
the work take the line that will not
merely serve temporary convenience
but also count for most in the end.
By building each year with reference
to a carefully worked out plan the
danger OF indirected effort will be
escaped
During the present summer an
engineer of the office of roads will
go over the ground on several of
the forests, and draw up plans
which will be submitted to the For
rester, and will serve to guide sub
sequent work. Where the roads
planned for cannot be built, trails
WILL so far as possible, be made to
follow the courses laid out, with the
expectation that later they win be
converted into roads.
The roads, trails, telephone lines
and fire lines already constructed on
national forests are proving of
great value both in the work of fire
protection and in serving the con-
venience of the public. The further
this work can be carried the greater
will be the usefulness of the forests
to the surrounding regions.
