ENCOURAGE THE WORK.

From the officers of the Minnesota
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
it is learned that during the year
1911 thirteen cases involving thirty.
nine children received their atten.
ton, as did fourteen cases involving
forty-seven animals, not to mention
those relating, to carload shipments
OF livestock There were FIVE applica.
tons for the formation of local
societies in the state.
The amount OF cash on hand
December 81, 1911, was $51.S4, which
is the unexpended balance of the
appropriation by the legislature OF
1907. The expenses of the society
salary and investigations, during the
year, were s137.s1. The work of the
organization is greatly hampered be-
cause of the lack Of funds. The Free
Press is not acquainted with the
amount Appropriated by the legislature
to the society, but we will wager that
it was not large, as it always has
been the policy of the legislators
to cut the sums that are expended
in behalf of moral and social up
lift and in the hope Of lettering
the condition of the human family.
2 Therefore, the organization that
has for its purpose the care of i'll.
treated children is practically with
out funds. and its work is seriously
handicapped. The society should have
one or more agents in the. field to
attend to the proper prosecution Of
etfenses against children and to see
to it that dumb animals are not
mistreated by brutes who. are pat
termed after man The work of the
society deserves to be encouraged.
and the legislature should not be so
parsimonious when dealing out money
TO the organization. ~. -. 81.

CHURCH UNITY IN cRooKsroN.

Church unity will result in
Crookston il the plans set on foot
there by the several congregations
can be carried out. The Men and
Religion Forward Movement com
mittee has issued invitations to
every Protestant church in that city
to hold congregational meetings and
appoint committees of three to hold
a general conference at 4 date to
be set later, but in the near future.
at which the union church PROPOSE.
ton shall be discussed. The Baptist
church has already named its COM
mittee, and this week meetings have
been called in the Scandinavian
Methodist Episcopal church, the
Baptist church, the Congregational
church and several other of the
Scandinavian churches for that
purpose. There seems little oppo-
sition to the idea in the Methodist
Episcopal church, the Congregational
and the Presbyterian and Baptist
churches, the only difficulty being
in working out. q plan that will be
satisfactory. ~ r.. st..:.. =.
Two general plans have been
suggested. One is that each church
be represented on the general gov
erning board of the Union church
by two men, and that the assess.
ments of each congregation for the
maintenance of the Union church
be apportioned upon basis of the
membership of the other separate
churches. Second, that. members be
taken into the Union church accord.
ing to the ritual of the individual
church they may prefer, and that
each church as. now established main
tain its auxiliary societies as at the
present time and keep their connec-
ton with their parent bodies. Third,
that the pastor for the Union church
be selected to preach the gospel
without creed. -.
g. The other proposition, which meets
with favor, on the part Of great
many is that the congregations SO
desiring form "a union church, and
that lots be cast as: to whether it
shall be a Methodist Episcopal; Pres:
byterian. Congregational, Baptist or
Episcopal church; that the sorganiza-
dion of the favored denomination
BE followed, and that the auxiliary
societies of that church alone be
maintained. This plan is generally
conceded to be the more simple and
practical. The pastors Of the city
are generally. keeping in the back
ground, favoring the idea but allow
ing their congregations to discuss
the situation unbiased by the pas
tors opinions, and unhampered by
any consideration of how a union
church here will affect the pastors
fortunes as individuals.

RECALL or rne RECALL.

| Wnat THIS community Is sadly III
need of is a recall of the recall
provision which found It's way int
the city charter While that docu
fnent was being framed. The max
ers meant well when they permtttet
this particular provision to become
a part of the charter, but the folly
of it all is now apparent. There Is
no more reason for recall of the
present efficient city officials than
there is for removing ST. Peter from
his station at the pearly gates Of
heaven. ...E.. 80 W.. p.
Aside from the question of mems
efficiency and close application u to
duty, there is the enormous expense
which will be attached to a special
election, and which must be borne by
the taxpayers, the majority Of whom
have not signed the petitions and
do not desire a recall of the mayor
and councilmen.
There is anther phase of this i'm
portant question that should not be
lost sight OF. One recall can follow
another. Should the voters remove
from their positions the present
chief executive and councilmen and
elect an entirely new set of officials
and within six months these latter
should happen to incur the iH-wHl
of some grouchy person. there is
nothing to prevent him from inati.
gurating another recall, provided, of
course, he could secure sufficient
number Of names to his petitions.
Experience has taught us that it
is an easy task to obtain signatures
to petitions of any nature whatever.
There are good men, but mistaken
In judgment, who will attach their
names to papers of this character. with.
out giving heed to the serious conse-
quences which may follow. Then
there are the. .irresponsibles who
will sign petitions because they care
very little about what character of
municipal government is foisted up
on the people. They have no prop
erty interests, and are not concern
ed in the welfare Of the community.
Thus the rabble is permitted to
heap upon the shoulders of the
substantial citizens, who comprise
the business men; professional men.
and the honest. Woodworking labor
ing men,, the burden of expense
which must, necessarily attach to "a
recall election. ,,.-....o -........... -
The recall is an ~absurdity and a
delusiOn and a snare. 1t should have
no place in a city charter. 1t is an
evil thing that places a premium on
prejudice against municipal Officials
and disturbs an otherwise well-or-
ganized society. The, recall pro-
vision should BIO eliminated from
the Mankato charter. and, thereby
put an end Ito LOT of tomfoolery:
that is perpetrated upon q satisfied
people in the name OF good govern
ment. The recall is another one of
those questionable devices that ema-
mates from the demagogic brains of
theoretical reformers. -,,,ss
