TO broaden the field of colonial gov
eminent and to urge the inviolabil

writer's have done much to foment
discord between Britain and Ger
many That Germany has made won.
derful progress industrially and com
1nercially in the last quarter of a
century has been apparent to the
world; it ought to create admiration
rather than envy in England. But
in military and naval matters also
the kaiser's realm has waxed great
and Britain is filled with distrust
and alarm.
Closely United BY Ties.
Britain and Germany are closely
united by historical ties; their speech
their national and individual ideas
their institutions have largely pro-
ceeded from a common origin; their
royal families are allied Closer
knowledge of each other should do
away with i'll feeling between these
great nations. The thoughtful, peace.
loving and earnest men who have
brought about this conference repre-
sent the best element in their respec.
tive countries; they: can do much to
promote a better understanding.

AID FOR NEEDY FAMILY
Society at Rapidan Is Doing Some Ex.
ceIIent Work: Call On Mankato
For Assistance.


The Neighborhood Aid, an organi-
cation of women of Rapidan, has
generously come to Mankato to give
aid to needy family. The ladies
pay dues and make money in other
ways which they use for charitable
purposes. There seemed no special
place in their immediate neighbor-
hood and the ladies found a family
in Mankato which needed help, so
they are now going to buy clothing
and other necessaries for the chill
dren. This is very commendable
thing for the society, particularly for
a society made up of women who
do not live in the city where they
are giving their aid. Mrs August
Pischner, on route No. s, is chair
man of the committee.

PRESIDENT WHAT


ton to the tariff question in his
speech and said that it was nom
sensical for anyone to advocate
further that old idea, tariff for
revenue only" as 1t had long
ago been demonstrated that a
reasonable tariff is necessary
for the expense of governmental
affairs. In an illustration given
by Mr.. Lind as to the difference
between the price of WOODEN
goods in England and America,
in which he called attention to
the suit he wore, he admitted to
a questioner in his audience
that the labor employed in Eng
land is cheaper than the labor
employed in America.

Its time the voters in Eastern
Valley County should begin to
take some interest in the coming
election of county officials. One
thing should not be overlooked and
that is the fact that under the new
appointment Valley County is now
entitled to three representatives IN
the state Legislature instead OF one
heretofore. AS Eastern Valley
County has considerably more
than half Of the Republican voters
at the present time we should be
entitled to at least two OF these can
didates at the hands of the Repub-
lican county convention this fall.
Eastern Valley County is also
entitled to a much larger share Of
the candidates for county office:
than she has ever received, anl
the only way we know to &c
such representation is tc have tin
candidates brought forward befor,
convention time. Delegates to ih'
county convention from Eastern
Valley County should be elected
with a view to standing for tn
rights of the electors in this end O
the county. 1t would be the prop
er thing for them to get togethe
after the primaries and before tn
convention o formulate a plan {
action.

HARD UP, PACKERS
FORMED TRUST TO
NEGOTIATE LOAN

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 4.-That the pack
ing companies were hard up in 1902
and were forced to organize the Ma
tional Packing Company in order to ne
gotiate loan was the principal point
in the argument of Attorney Ralph
Crews, Of the packers counsel, in his
reply to the charges raised by Assist
ant Attorney General Revelle, Of the
state of Missouri.
Crews, in his argument, declared that
in 1902 Charles Armour Edward Nor
ris and Gustavus F. Swift, heads of
the three packing companies whose
Missouri owned concerns the state is
seeking to Gust, were hard up and were
forced to negotiate a loan from Kuhn.
Loeb & Co., to meet an obligation of
$S,000,000 due the First National bank
of New York city. The National Pack
ing Company which took in the ST.
Louis Dressed Beef and Provision
Company and the Hammond Packing
Company Of st. Joseph, was organized
by Armour, Morris and Swift as indi-
viduals, the stock being held by them
and in their names. That the organ
ization of the National Packing Com
pany was necessary to secure the loan
constituted the chief argument raised
