D. l.. Rose. From Mankato she went
to Seattle and was in that city for
about 4 year. She gave up her po-

KENNETH WINSTON SALISBURY.

Kenneth Winston Salisbury, the
only child of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Sal
isbury of Mankato, died very sud-
denly in st. Joseph's hospital July
IA, 1911, after an operation for ap-
pendicitis. The operation was sue
cessfully performed and for twenty
four hours everything seemed to be
most favorable, when sudden
change for the worse took place and
in a very short time the end came
and the young spirit went out to
God who gave it. Brief services
were held in the hospital conducted
by the Rev. IT, Ross Paden, when
the body was taken to Amboy where
services were held in the Presby-
terrain church directed by the pas
tor, Rev. o. T. Langfitt, then laid TO
rest in the Vernon Center cemetary.
Kenneth was born June 4, 1906. His
was a bright and sunny spirit and
was the joy and delight of the home.
Very sweet and precious memories
remain to enrich the hearts and affec.
tons OF his parents and friends who
find comfort in the fact that they
do not sorrow as those that have no
hope, because,
"He is not dead, somewhere we
know
Safe in the Masters care,
He waits the coming of his own
To Heavenly mansions fair.
Oh, Master dear, thy tenderest love,
No human heart can know
Until it hears thy loving voice
Through sorrows crushing blow.
Come thou and comfort those today
Who are so sad and lone,
With thy dear. love and sympathy
In sweetest tenderest tone.

The Winona Independent is con-
WINGED that the tramp problem is
one that must be dealt with by
the states as units. Nothing less
comprehensive will reach the trou-
Bile. First the state must provide a
place. of detention for these fellows
number of places easy
of access. When a tramp or vagrant
is picked up by the police in any
part of the state he should go to
one of these detention or penal in
situations where his record would
be fully investigated. Then he
should be death with as the merits
of his case warranted.
If nets of this kind were spread
through all the states they would
catch the escaping and paroled con-
victs. the habitual criminals and
the too lazy to work good for moth
ings which infest all sections of the
country. The law should also be
made sufficiently broad to take in the
local vagrant. Men physically capa-
BILE who are not self-respecting and
self-supporting units of our civiliza-
ton have no right to enjoy the liber-
ties accorded real men.
They are parasites on civilization,
degenerates, mentally and morally
obsessed and they should be placed
where they may be cured If posi-
BILE and permanently detained if in
durable. Their disease is contagious
and they are constantly adding to
their number through the process of
incubation. Separted from the we'll
and strict quarantine are as neces-
sary in these cases as they are in
other contagious diseases.
The rock pile is but a temporary
relief from these travelling germs
of laziness and petty criminals who
feast off the real producers. The
rock pile may be the means of keep
ing these festejng sores on the body
polite from invading SOME towns,
but 1t does not reach the root Of
