promotion and development of ma
terial interests of Southern Mime
sofa in every way possible and to
further this object, we regard the
following issues as of vital impor-
lance:
Want Fair-Freight Rates.
Fair and equitable freight rates,
as contemplated in the same measure
known as the eastman bill, it being
a we'll recognized fact that Southern
Minnesota is grossly Disseminated
against the matter of freight tariffs.
1--WE strongly favor every practical
movement looking to the betterment
of highways. To that end we request
our representatives in congress to sup,
port such legislation as may provide
federal appropriations for road con-
struction. We endorse the cOnstitu'
tional amendment to levy tax of one
mill for road purposes and urge up
on everybody who favors good roads
to aid in promoting this movement
I'VE demand that railroad com
panies give the southern part OF
the state the benefit of stop-Over
privileges for home seekers, as all
efforts to secure immigration are
farcial without this concession.
"As means of improving the
rich agricultural resources of this
section, We commend the efforts to
bring about the widespread adoption
of more intensified farming and
dairying. We favor thorough soil
survey, and recommend the cultiva-
ton of closer social relations be-
tween rural and urban districts.
1--WE strongly advocate the radical
reformation of our public school
system, so that agriculture and other
industrial training will have their
proper places in the curriculum OF
the public schools.
1--WE urge the state investment
board the propriety of disposing OF
foreign low interest-bearing securi-
ties, and the investment of all avail
able public funds in Minnesota Sc
surities.
1--WE advocate an adequate appro-
priation for the support of the
state immigration department.
1--WE favor the adoption of the So
called seven-senator amendment to
the constitution of the state"

to Mr. Rosenau's credit When Rose
nau was asked what he had to say
in regard to the matter, he replied
that he always had bank account,
and did not know that all his funds
in the bank had been drawn out. lie
said he had simply overdrawn his
account without knowing it. How
ever, w. d. Willard, cashier OF the
First National bank, where Rosenau
did his business, said that he had
notified the latter that he had drawn
out all his money.
Yesterday, Mr.. Deike sent his de-
livery boy to Rosenau's home and
demanded the return of the feed
sack However, Mrs. Rosenau paid
the boy $3.50 and kept the feed.
This morning, Mr.. Deike came to
the police station and after short
conference with Rosenau, received
what money the latter possessed,
and the promise that he would get
the remainder as soon as he secured
work and was able to pay the debt.
Mr.. Rosenau pleaded guilty to the
charge of drunkenness this morning.

MEETING OF yE SCRIBES

Chicago, June 24.-Editors of daily
and weekly newspapers from nearly
every state assembled in the annual
convention of the National Editorial
association in Chicago today. The
Illinois association is also holding
it's convention, making this one of
the largest gathering of editors ever
held in America. The sessions here
will occupy three days, after which
many delegates will leave on an ex-
cursion to Sioux Falls and other
points in the northwest. A majority
of the visitors represent country
papers, but editors of number of
big dailies are also present.
A matter that effects the country
editors and which will probably come
in for serious discussion in the al
legged unfair methods of one of the
biggest ready print or "boilerplate
inside" houses in booming western
Canada in reading matter it includes
in the patent insides furnished the
country press. 1t is declared that
Canadian real estate and railway in
terests pay large sums to the ready
print house for the insertion of these

.FIREMEN HAD A PICNIC
From Mondays Daily.

ETOII fnOuudy Odiys
Superior Hose company No. 2
enjoyed a picnic at Lake Balantine
yesterday afternoon. There were
twenty members of the company
present, the city commissioners. and
in all about thirty men spent the
day at the lake fishing and enjoy
ing life.
En- route to the lake Otto Lamm
had most exciting time. He thought
that the tires on his machine had
exploded. 1t was like the prelimi-
naries of Fourth of July celebra-
ton. Mr.. Lamm was the last to
leave Mankato, he being on one of
the committees, and had packed up
a large amount of the eatables In
his machine. He was driving out on
the country road at a good clip to
catch up, when suddenly there was
a terrific explosion at the side of
the machine. Mr.. Lamm thought
that his tire had blown out, and
turning to one side. stopped the ma
chine. He jumped out and was
about to get the jackscrew, when he
discovered that all his tires were in
tact.
He drove on a little more care
fully for a while, and then another
explosion startled him. This time
however, it was made certain that
it was a joke. Two large firecrack-
ers had been struggled along by one
of the passengers in Mr.. Lamm's
car, and these were lighted and
thrown to the side of the road to
fool Mr. Lamm. Mr.. Lamm has a
suspicion that Frank Landkamer or
August Fallenstein did the shooting

MISS JACHE NOW HOME
From Mondays Daily.


Miss Else Jache arrived today
from Berlin where she has been
studying music with Rudolph GAM.
Miss Jache had very nice voyage.
All the ships are taking southern
course. Miss Jache said to The
Free Press
1.-THE steamer GTafWaldersee of
the Hamburg American line arrived
at Philadelphia June 81 after fiji
teen days voyage. The vessel had to
take the longer southern course in
order to avoid icebergs that were
reported to the north just after the
voyage was begun. 1t Is perhaps
not generally known that very
comfortable ocean voyage may be
made without mourning an expense
as great as on those larger vessels
carrying both first and second cabin
passengers, yet excellent accommo-
dations are furnished, the rooms be-
ing more commodious than those on
some of the larger steamers. The
passengers arriving on the Graf Wal
dersee, which belongs to this class of
vessels, report very pleasant trip.
The captain and the stewards of

the passengers, and near the end of
the voyage furnished an excellent
! farewell dinner and entertainment.
For this occasion the dining hall
was prettily decorated with wreaths
and flowers and colored lights inter-
spersed with the flags of many ma
tons, most conspicuous among which
were those of Germany and the Unit
ed States, with the Hamburg Amerf-
can coat-of-arms between. The din
ner was fully up to the high stand
ard maintained by this line. The
menu cards announced "illumina ted
ice cream and German Oak This
linking of the American national
dish with the German sturdiness of
character aroused no little curiosity.
When the time for this course az
rived, the electric lights were turn
ed out and the portiers drawn. A
soft light from the red, white and
blue lamps hanging from the wreaths
of oak leaves above the tables filled
the room. Now the portiers were

costume and carrying the illuminat-

pany furnished bulletins all during
the republican national convention
and will do the same thing during
the democratic convention, which
convenes in Baltimore tomorrow. All
during the republican convention the
telephone company kept the wires
hot with a running account of the

up at one of the sessions the dis
cusson of the desirability of organ
lied participation on the part of
clubwomen in the effort now being
made to bring about a passage of
laws by the various state legisla-
lures to compel persons applying for
marriage licenses to present health
certificates from physicians. AS a
federation has a membership of more
than a million women who come
from every safe in the Union, it is
believed that the passage of resolu-
tions recommending the legislatures
of all states to look into the matter,
will have a good influence on officials
of states where no such laws exist.
The main object of the general
discussion is on industrial conditions,
which will be led by Miss Helen
Vars Boswell, will be to decide upon
some plan to influence legislation in
regard to the establishment of short
err working hours for women and
better conditions In factories.
