COMPLAINT is JUSTIFIED

The expected has happened. A COM
service. Here is the communication,
and it speaks for hundreds of people
in Mankato:
"To The Free Press: Even in a
days time l have heard numerous
complaints of the street car service
under the changed schedule, especially
along the Pleasant street line, and
if the situation were canvassed it
would doubtless be found that many
of the business men are greatly in
convenienced by the change. The wait
between cars is so long that they pre-
fer to walk to and from their places
of business and the street car company
will be losing money thereby. The
people of Mankato are just becoming
educated to the use of the cars and
because of the poorer service much of
this patronage will be lost. A long
time will ensue before this can be re-
gained | understand that the company
has been doing a good business up to
this time and it seems to me poor
business policy to begin to cut ex-
penses by the reduction of the services.
F. L. Soaring
The Free Press believes that the
Mankato Electric Traction company is
making grievous mistake. The re-
duced schedule will surely drive away
patronage and cause the public to
feel edgewise toward the street rail-
way company.
All summer long the public has pat
ronized the street cars literally, and
now for the company to cut its SER
vice in the manner it has, justiies the
complaints that are being made.

WHERE IT IS THE COOLEST.

The interesting discovery that the
atmosphere over the polar regions is
colder at an altitude of six miles than
at ten has just been made by Prof
essor Hergesell, who sent up a regis
tering balloon from the prince of Mon
aeo's yacht at Tromsoe, Norway, III
September of 1906. Last month this
balloon with its instruments intact
was found by Laplanders on a glac-
Ter near Skibotten. A height of IL
900 meters or about ten miles was in
dicated by the altitude recording in
strument. The lowest temperature
registered was minus sixty degrees
centigrade, but this figure was found
to have registered at height of six
miles, whereas the temperature regis
tered at the maximum altitude of
ten miles was minus forty-seven cen
tigrade. This is the first proof that
the inversive layer of air in which
the temperature rises after certain
point exists over the polar regions as
elsewhere. The warmer layers Oc-
ours lower at the poles than at the
equator.

DEFEAT OF THE CHARTER

Although the charter is defeated, the
commission plan of municipal govern
ment still lives. Some day the new
system, which has proved so salts
factory elsewhere, and has wrought
changes for the better in their munich
pal life, will be adopted for the guild
ance of Mankato's affairs.
There are several reasons why the
vote of yesterday failed to reach the
required number in favor of the char
ter. In time the objections will be
overcome. We believe that before long
the bluk of the DIRECTORS will have a
better and clearer understanding of
the charter.
We believe that many of those who
were misled by the false stories that
were circulated will be righted and
that when the charter is submitted
again they will vote for it's adoption.
Many of the stories that were ped
died to the detriment of the charter
sounded foolish to thinking men, but
they had their effect upon those whose
actions are guided by prejudice.
And, too, there were the officehold-
ers. With one or two exceptions they
worked and voted against the char
ter, fearful that if it carried they
would be thrown out of their positions
within a month or two. No doubt
some of them would have lost their
jobs.
But there is much consolation in the
fact that the charter received a ma
jority of the votes cast-that Man
kato people in the main are not averse
to the commission form of govern
ment. They are in favor of doing
away with a charter that is only fit
for the scraD heap.

DON'T FOOL THE BOY

E. G. Cooley, former superintendent
of the Chicago public schools, declares
that the idea that every boy may
some day be president of the United
States is an exploded one and that
schools should no longer train the
youths of the country along that line
His utterances on this subject and
several others are contained in an arti-
Gle in the October issue of The Edu-
cational Monthly.
"Most educators appreciate the fact"
he says, ''that there must be changes
in our system of education to suit
the changed conditions of time. These
reformers seem to think that the far
Their we get from the paths of our
forefathers the surer we shall be of
doing the right thing for our sons.
"The leisure class theory OF society
has dominated the educational theories
fof the school.
"The privilege of acquiring the So
cial heritage has been given to certain
selected members of society who were
planning to follow professions. While
we have talked glibly about giving
everybody a chance to become presi
dent of the United States, every one
knows that the chances of this hap
pening are only one in several mil
lions. These chances hardly justify
the keeping of education all along
these lines. All such theory of oppor-
tunity as this can hardly be called
democratic.
at is evident that this so called
democratic opportunity of becoming
president is not 4 real opportunity to
get the kind of education demanded by
the conditions of modern times.
eve seem to be ready to care for
the fortunate youth who is able to
remain in school until he is eighteen
years old giving him instruction that
will fit him for the professions, with
all the advantages of our splendid high
school equipment. We seem to grudge
the poor boy, who is compelled to go
to work, the opportunity to attend an
evening school for more than four or
five months"

JUDGE LINDSEY WRITES polNrEDlY.

Under the title of "The Beast and
the Jungle" Judge Ben Lindsey of
the Denver juvenile court begins in
the October Everybody's Magazine a
series of articles giving his inside
view of commercial greed and graft
in American cities. He says that men
have criticised him for crying wolf!
Wolff" when they see no wolf and
have demanded that he tell facts. So
he undertakes to tell the facts known
to him personally. He says there is
no other way to fight the beast in
the modern jungle. The man who
fights it "must come out into the
open with his life" So he begins with
a sketch of his own life, how he grew
up to be what he is. He tells of
his first damage suit against cor
poration in the interest of crippled
boy, how the jury was twice hung
and how he and his partner then
went to the legislature and forced
through law for a three fourths
jury verdict in such cases, then how
the big interests bought off his own
partner by offering big fees to his
firm which Lindsey was not willing
to accept.

RECORD FOR STEEL AND IRON.

President Corey of the steel trust is
quoted by The Manufacturers Record,
as predicting record year for steel
and iron. I'VE are right now in the
midst of the greatest development in
the history of the steel and iron bust
ness" says Corey. Substantially all
our plants are now running and on
practically full time. The Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company has rail orders
ahead for four or five months, and the
Carnegie and Illinois companies can
make no promises under sixty days.
Next year will witness record break
ing production of steel in every line.
1t will be the greatest in railroad
buying and building ever known. The
railroads are awakening to the situa
ton, and are jumping in with their
orders. A new era of activity is on.
1t will vastly exceed anything ever
before known"

ANOTHER MAN WHO HAS MADE GOOD.

Although he was a novice in the
torturous ways of international diplo-
macy and high politics when Kaiser
William appointed him Prime Minister
of Germany last July, succeeding
Prince Won Buelow, DR.. Tehobald Won
Bethmann- Hollwegg is making good
after a fashion that has surprised even
his most ardent admirers. Not only is
he thoroughly Gin tune" with the mind
of his master, Kaiser William, but the
German people have learned to love
him because he is a scholar as well as
a statesman. He is already known as
"the philosopher chancellor"
Baron Won Bethman- Hollweg was
born Sept. 20, 1856, and is there
fore forty three years old today. He
is of almost gigantic stature. His
limbs are loosely hung to his body,
and his figure is probably the despair
of his tailor. An immensely high mar
row forehead is crowned by a bristling
growth of iron-gray hair, and a scrub
by, pointed beard imperfectly covers
the chin. His complexion is sombre
and his countenance would suggest a
