MIR. Taylor, in introducing j. +.
Reynolds, said that the newspapers of
the city have uniformly taken a stand ,
for those things that advance the in
terests of the city.
Mr.. Reynolds spoke on the subject,
What the Press Has Done, Should
and Can Do for Mankato" He said
that all were well aware of what the

community, and l.. p. Hunt. who had

Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done Great
Service for People Who Work in

Most Mankato people work every
day in some strained, unna tural posi-
tion-bending constantly over desk
riding on jolting wagons or cars-doing
laborious homework: lifting, reaching
or pulling, or trying the back in "a
hundred and one other ways. All these
strains tend to wear. weaken and in
iure the kidneys until they fall behind
in their work of filtering the poisons
from the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills
cure sick kidneys, put new strength in
bad backs. Mankato cures prove it.

of the hard work and worry of con
Quoting a newspaper, which the public
in general little appreciates.
What Newspapers Have Done.
Newspapers have contributed much
toward the achievement of worthy en-
terprises in the city. Their columns
have ever been thrown open to these
causes, and they have contributed their
support to all good things. They have
helped to secure for Mankato street
cars, paving. the ladies' seminary. Min
neOpa state park, and a great many
other things that we feel proud of,
and they will assist in the future. They
ever will be found favoring what is
right and good and uplifting. They
stand for religion, education and prog
ress.
There are no drones connected with
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1910-06-17

the newspapers of Mankato. The news
paper reporters are entitled to great
deal of credit, and are entitled to
much of the credit for what has been
| secured for Mankato.
| The matter of upper and lower town
hobs up every little while, but the
| speaker trusted that in the course of
time, with the newspapers working as
| they have been doing, the residents
ought to succeed in wiping out that
| imaginary line, for without it the city
can accomplish nearly anything. Mr.
Reynolds illustrated this by mention
ing his walk to st. Peter, which he
thought that he never could make, but
he did it. The city likewise can do
things that it thinks that it cannot
do. There is nothing impossible for
Mankato. 1t can accomplish anything.
1t has secured the commission form
of government, thanks to the newspa-
pers and few energetic men who
know no such word as fail. 1t is an
: outgrowth of a disaster, but it is an
i'll wind that blows nobody any good
! If the people will get together they
can make Mankato the fourth city in
size in the state. The newspapers will
ever be found ready to contribute more
than their share TO bring about any
thing for the good of the city.
Remarks By Colonel Fred Johnson.
A symposium on What l Think of
Mankato followed. Colonel Fred w.
Johnson of New Ulm, brother of the
late Governor John A. Johnson, was
the first speaker He said that it was
taking undue advantage of man
from a neighboring town to ask him
to tell the truth abOut the city, for
he is sure to make enemies. He could
complain of many things on the streets
at present, and of the advertisements
of great ironmaster whose name is
on a public building that the citizens
could as well have built He could tell
something about the streets that don't
look good to Il man from outside. But
the city has got fine lot of good
fellows and business men. 1t has
taken great step forward in adopt
ing the commission form of govern
ment. This will not be a cureall but is
a great step in advance, and will
eliminate ward politics.
Attorney Henry Benson of st. Peter
said that there were no rancors in the
hearts of st. Peter citizens toward
Mankato citizens or the city. as they
believed in living and let living. ST.
Peter had not prospered the way that
it might have, but if it had. Mankato
would not be represented by the large
number OF people present. He took it
that in honoring him the club was
hOnoring st. Peter He intended to say
exactly what he thought without mincing
matters at all. He thought that Man
kato was all right, and he had no
criticism to offer. He said that he
couldn't if he wanted to. The cities
of the smaller class have much in
common, and need to stand shoulder
to shoulder Legislation, and that for
railroads in particular, had made GER
tain cities so large that they are. and

Glad. to See Such Gathering.
Mr.. Taylor said that he was glad
to see such gatherings. He spoke of
the increasing tendency for population
to gather in the cities, and said that

Sapping MankatO Territories.

The Milwaukee road stops one of its
branches at st. Clair, and is sapping
one of the best territories around Man
kato and taking it to Albert Lea. Mr.
Wilson wondered if Mankato had Il
Commercial club. The people here are
paying interest on railroad bonds voted
to help the Milwaukee road. If the mat
ter was put up to the road, the business
interests of the city could bring it TO
time, for the road is as anxious to get
business as anybody is. We can show
the Milwaukee road that there is some
thing in MankatO besides bunch of
dead Indians buried forty years ago
Half of the people of Mankato ought
to be in st. Paul at the coming state
and boost for Governor Eb
erhart, for he is entitled to it and
should have the support of his home
town. There are also other questions
that should be met and solved by the
interests of the city
"Why the Travelling Men Like Man
kato, and Why They Don't" was the
subject of a toast by j. NJ Eager. He
liked Mankato, he said, because he
could not help it, because it was the
finest city in the state. because OF its
good railroad facilities, because of its
beautiful surroundings and beautiful
scenery in every direction, because of
its school facilities. because of its bus
mess men and business ENTERPRISE.
There were stores in the city that
would be credit to cities of 100000
population. They sell at the right
prices and treat their customers right.
