MADE SECRETARY OF IRON AND
STEEL INSTITUTE.
Will Furnish Data of Industry to the
Public; Statement BY the For.
mer Congressman.

New York, January 2O.-James T.
McCleary, former member of con.
gress from Minnesota and assistant
postmaster general, has been elected
secretary of the American Iron and
Steel Institute, with Headquarters in
New York city. Commenting on the
institute and it's work, Mr.. McCleary
said:
More and more in this country
the people are ruling it's affairs di-
rectly. Whether this rule shall be
wise or unwise will depend largely
on the extent and the truthfulness
of the information possessed by the
people.
Many of the wiser and farther
seeing of the captains of industry,
having faith that the vast majority
of our people desire that justice and
fair dealing shall prevail, have con-
cluded that in the management OF
large business enterprises, semi-pub-
lie in character, safety for all con-
cerned lies in tell the people
about the condition and the conduct
of these enterprises. Among those
who are acting on this principle are
the leading spirits in the iron and
steel industry. They are endeavoring
to deal with each other, with their
respective stockholders, with the
public and with the government, in
the spirit of absolute frankness.

information may be at all times

ST. PETER DEFEATED MANkATO
SOLDIERS LAST NIGHT.
Fighting of the Boys From
Neighboring Town.

From Saturdays Daily.
The soldier boys from st. Peter
rode half league into Mankato last
evening and took the scalp of the
Company II basketball team of this
city. The Mankato war department
boys played good ball, but the St
Peter boys did just little better
The boys from up the line had a
fixed habit of tossing the inflated
leather bag into the basket and it
was this habit that resulted in the
defeat of the local warriors.
Final Score q to 10.
The final score was 10 to 81 in
favor of Company X. While the Man
katO team did not win, it is under
stOd that they are even now hatch
ing up a deep plot to win back their
lost honors.
Company III of Mankato was rep.
resented by the following men:
Hurd, center; Spicer, forward; Jones,
forward and captain; Ford, guard /;
Seymour, guard. Company X of St
Peter sent the following ball tossers
Essling, center; C. Mead. forward {;
L. Mead, forward; Schmidt, guard I;
Schwensk, guard and captain. The
st. Peter boys made the trip in a
bob sled and were accompanied by
a crowd of supporters.

Announcement that the packing
house plant will resume operations
proved one of the most gratifying
pieces of news that has been re-
ceived by the people of MankatO and
the farmers in many months. Every
effort should be made to give the
present manager, T. J. Gardner
moral and financial support, and as
sist in making the enterprise sue
cess in every way.
The Importance of the packing
plant and its close relationship to
trade upbuilding in Mankato should
not be underestimate by our bust
ness men. Not only does the plant
create payroll but it circulates
large sums among the farmers who
come from miles around to dispose OF
their livestock, poultry, etc.
The packing plant is a big indus
try-one of the biggest in Mankato
It should enjoy a fiourishing bust
ness, and We reiterate, it is entitled
to and should receive the most en-
cOuraging support from the people OF
this community. There is not an in
dividual in this city but what is
benefited either directly or indirectly
from it's operation. ri

The Free Press does not want to
be regarded as an insistent and per-
sistent ''knocker," because it doth
despise and loath the man who is
constantly carrying hammer about
with him. The "knocker" is pessimis-
tic fellow who cannot see any good in
his neighbor and those who are
honestly putting forth their efforts
in behalf of the community and
state in which they live and are
concerned in it's upbuilding. But
enough of this depression. What we
started out to say concerned the
appropriation that is asked of the
legislature for the state fair. This
is not the first time that The Free
Press has referred to the matter IN
hand.
It is almost unbelievable that the
legislators will take seriously the
resolution introduced by Senator
Works and calling for a constitu-
tional amendment to provide that
the population to each legislator
from st. Paul and Minneapolis must
be twice that from other parts of
the state. If the legislature should
be prevailed upon to submit such an
amendment the proposition undOubt-
eddy would get q cool reception on
the part of the people. 1t is not
likely that anything manifestly so
unfair would be approved by the
voters of the state, says The st.
Paul Pioneer Press.
One of the important issues dur
ing the recent campaign was reap
portionment. The people in the
northern part of the state complain
ed that the present apportionment
does not give to them their far
share of representation in the legis-
lature. The justice of their claim
was generally recognized even in the
older districts of the southern part
Of the state that could expect to lose
rather than to gain by reapportion-
ment. The people in the cities IA
vored readjustment that would
give to each community the repre-
sentation to which population en-
titles it,
Now comes Senator Works and
proposes to do to the cities what all
the state has conceded was an in
justice TO Northern Minnesota. Ours
is a representative government, yet
he would have two standards of rep
resentation. He would partially dis
franchise one-fourth the population
of the state. The only good feature
about his proposal is that it is so
very unfair and so obviously born of
prejudice and injustice that it is not
likely to get very far toward becom-
ing the law of the state.

one million five hundred thou
sand dollars is a considerable sum
Oh money, and The Free Press is of
the belief that the people of Mime
sofa are opposed to it's expenditure
on the fair at this time. Every ses-
sion OF the legislature is met with a
request for large appropriations for
the institution at Hamline, and the
sums have been granted while the
taxpayers have looked on and won
dered if the call for cash ever was
going to cease. In the past the
amounts appropriated have not been
so large as that which is now asked
