The count Wednesday night showed
that close to $4,000 votes had been
polled during the past week.. Most

the others how to run in this contest

The board of managers is said to
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1910-01-27

regard the instructions given at the
annual meeting as binding upon it
and in consequence the pass list will
be materially curtailed. Not only
will grand stand tickets be refused
those who have been accustomed to
receive them but even gate admissions
will be hard to get. At what limit
these will be put has not yet been de-
cided upon; AT previous fairs the
board has acted on the assumption
that a generous list of deadheads was
essential to the success of the exposi-
ton, and the point has been argued
lat much length by those who had the
matter in charge. 1t will be interest
ing to note the result of the policy OF
pay as you enter which it is assumed
the management will honestly adopt.
The rate case hearings have been so
long under way that they are in some
danger of being lost sight OF. The
rates which the Minnesota railroads
are fighting in the federal courts are
those enacted into law at the legisla-
ture of 1907. They have never been
enforced, the railroads contending
that they are confiscatory and secur-
ing their suspension by injunction.
Whether they are or not is substanti-
ally the issue the present suits will
decide.
OF course, if the rates now charged
by the railroads are excessive, every
day decision in these cases is delay
ed, is putting the people of this state
to unwarrented expense. That, how
ever, does not appear to me to be the
point of greatest Importance so far as
the rates in question are concerned.
The rates ordered by the legislature
are important not so much because
they were lower than the rates charg-
ed then and ever since, but because
i'm it's schedules the railroads made an
attempt to equalize rates; that is to
say, to require railroads to charge
equal rates for equal distances.
For it is of terminating and not
of excessive rates that the people of
the state have now the most reason
to complain. 1t is because the semi
rural communities in this state are
Disseminated against that in country
towns organized industry on any large
scale is practically unknown. The
railroad policy in Minnesota has al
ways been to build up at the expense
of the smaller cities great Industrial
center in the twin cities, and rates
have been framed with that purpose
in view. The result has been to force
the transfer of practically all manu-
featuring establishments with the
wealth, their population and their at
tendant opportunities to the more
favored localities.
Because of this discrimination in
dustries natural to the locality have
dwindled and decayed. Given in a
grain-growing section every natural
advantage Of water power and rich
prairie from which the raw material
may be produced, and in how many
instances in rural Minnesota has mill

MAYNARD GIRLS
Mrs. Fannie French Morse Tells
How She Handles Them
HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL
Superintendent of Sank Centre In.
). dustrial School Bids Farewell
to Massachusetts

In it's issue of Dec. Is, 1909, The
Herald made the first, public an
nouncement that Mrs. Fannie French
Morse of Lancaster, Mass, had accept
ed the position of superintendent of
the Girls industrial school that is to
be opened in Sank Centre the coming
Fall. That the choice was wise one,
all conversant with the case were con-
WINGED. Additional testimony to Mrs.
Morse's ability is evidenced by the
following dispatch from Boston, print
ed in a recent issue of the st. Paul
Pioneer Press.
A prominent Massachusetts reform
er, Mrs. Fannie French Morse, who is
soon to undertake the supervision of
the girls reform school of Saul, Cen
tire, Mimi. bases her success on the
teachings of housework.
''To reform hayward girls" she
said, "and fit them to become worthy
wives and mothers I have simply
taught them what they did not before
know, that homework is an art and
can be practiced with all the joy that
artistic creation brings"
Mrs. Morse intends to follow her
present system in Minnesota and her
farewell message to Massachusetts,
women who are interested in the pro-
blem is:
''Try to give the daughters of the
poor better homes; teach them that
home life is the best after all, and in
a great majority of cases the girls will
gladly respond and grow up with the
ambition to become worthy wives and
mothers"
That her methods OF scientifically
reforming Maynard girls are not mere
theories is best evidenced by the fact
that Mrs. Morse for the past nine
years has been superintendent of the
Massachusetts, state industrial school
for girls at Lancaster. During this
period she has seen more than 1900
incorrigible girls made use
full members of society, many OF them
and most of the others Sc
curing good positions as domestic SER
wants.
One of Gov. Johnson's last official
acts was to send a delegation to Lam
caster to. ask Mrs. Morse to accept
the Minnesota Office. When reporter
asked her the secret of her success,
she replied with a smile:
"All / have done is to give the poor
girl a home and make her feel that
she has rights as well as duties in it.

tried to train her for community life

BREED THEATER.
"YaIe- harvard Boat Race," Feature
 Motion Picture.

A picture of more than usual inter- est is the feature at the Breed theater for today and the balance of the week and is entitled Auntie at the Races, and is romance of the ale-Harvard race at New London, Conn. The stroke oar of the Harvard crew has a be- witching little sweetheart, who IS anxious to attend the race at New London, but her father will not allow her to go except with a chaperone, so her lover arranges with his chum to represent a loving old aunt, and, se- curing the necessary outfit, appears st the girls home, and introduces the masquerading chum as his aunt, who will gladly assume the duties of chap erone for this occasion. The father becomes more and more attra cteh by the chaperone and makes violent love to her which makes another knot in the tangled romantic skein- A vn- iainous plot is discovered, which con sisted of abducting the stroke oar or the Harvard crew, and secretins him until after the races had been called off so the rival Yale crew could win, as most of the betting was on Yale The plan was thwarted, and all ends happily while the fascinating pictures of the many interesting scenes around New London, and the boat houses, are delightfully."- familiar.

eack-to the Soil Colonies.

One difficulty with the back to the farm movement, though perhaps not its chief one is that those whom it is designed particularly to benefit lack a working plan. They do not know how -bo go at it. Even assuming that a city man wants to go back to the soil and become a producer, how shall he go about 1t?
 This question is answered by the National Farm Homes association, of which Gov. Hadley of Missouri is pres fdent. Hadley has become one of the foremost of the back-to-the-farrn agi- tators. Perhaps his organization is thinking primarily of the development of Missouri and the southwest; yet could it's plan be carried out it's bene- fits would extend far beyond that.
 Hadley and his associates propose to establish in sections of the southwest where land is cheap, colonies each of 32 families, Each family is to have group of 40-acre farms will be a cen organization and be operated as model for the rest. Not one cent of capital will be necessary for one to get back to the soil. Each farmer will be given ten years to pay for his plot of ground, which, fully equipped with buildings and machinery, will be fur nshed him by the association. For the city man, to whom farming is as rnys- terious art, the centra1 model farm will be ready always to suggest meth ods and indicate results.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

"A Poor Entertainment.

One of the daily papers of the state informed its readers last week that a certain church in it's city was crowd ed the night before by men and wo- men who witnessed a mock marriage in which all the participants were chil- dren apparently under 12 years old They were dressed to the part, the 1uckIess little boys in evening dress and the poor little girls cumbered with trains and all the rest of the finery which is supposed to accompany a fashiona ble wedding. In all some for ty children were dragged into the enterta ainment and forced to OCCUPY the center of the stage at a time when they ought to have been asleep. Aside from the lack of taste in selecting a church as a place in which to parody q religious ceremony, it does not seem as if the interests of the children were properly safeguarded by their admir- ing parents. Certainly there must be forms of recreation better calculated for small boys and girls than the excitement of a mock wedding; and the sentiment that crowds a church to witness 8 performance of the sort is not one to be encouraged. Will the social committee which managed this entertainment follow it with Q mock Iuneral alETho Courant.

Records for AeropIanes.

One can scarcely speak of the aerial Journey of Charles K. Hamilton, from New York to Philadelphia and back, as an unqualified success, since an accident of a kind which should have been foreseen and obviated, delayed his return; yet, though Curt1Ss. whose biplane he used continues to hold the record for speed, and Paulhan that for continuous flight, Hamilton seems to have esta blished American records for cross-country distance and dura- tion of flight, and possibly for aver age speed per mile also. His. was, moreover. a severe and dangerous test of an aeroplane's capacity. since his route lay over cities, open country and bodies of water, and at every ottscT moment he must have met conflicting air currents; yet, maintaining an aver age height of about 250 feet. though at times he rose to a height of 1,5O0 feet he seems to have managed to follow the wind, not fight it," and ride in safety to success
 If however, one decides to classify Hamilton's voyage as rather interest ing than important-and to say that ig not to detract from the skill Of the aviator or the enterprise Of his Philadelphia Ledger-one needs not hesitate to speak with enthusiasm Of Walter Brookins' achievement at In dianapolis. where, using a Wright bi- plane, ne scared 10 uelSilL Ol 1884 1-2 feet. thus surpasstng by a substantial distance the record for al- titude. 4165 feet. made by Paulhan at Los Angeles.
