There is the continuity as seen
in the institutions founded. This
is the greatest century of all for the
founding of brotherhOods. They cry
to us from the four quarters of the
earth. They represent all shades OF
belief and no shade of unbelief. They
have chosen the symbolism OF the
greatest craftsmen and the whole
range OF the forests great ones. The
symbols Of chivalry are ours. We
seek not to perpetrate ourselves by
piles of stone and terra Gotta but
rather to leave an impress on all
our members which shall distin
guish them among men. Today we
call again from the hallowed past
our dead and with this cloud r.
witness proclaim again our fealty to
the preceptS of our order. While
we gladly pay homage to the knights
gone on before let us remember
that the supreme institution of al
the ages is the Christian church

RECEIVED THE VISITORS

Saturday evening and Sunday were
memorable days for members of the
Sons of Herman lodge. Beginning
Saturday evening with big enter
tainment in their hall in this city,
and ending with big picnic at New
Ulm, formed part of the program.
AT the entertainment Saturday even,
ing, an amateur theatrical perform
ance was staged, called Love ana
Society,"" in which local Thespians
proved themselves we'll qualified for
membership in the Lambs club, New
York. t..
About forty were present, incIuG-
ing large delegation from Lake
field, who made the trip to Mankato
by automobile. The members of the
Mankato and Sioux Valley lodges
went to New Ulm yesterday for an
outing. About sixty members left on
the Northwestern train at 12:45 p.
M, while four large automobiles car
ried others.
A picnic was held at Hammond
park, New Ulm, the lodge of that

is CURED OF HICCOUCHS

An employee of the Croker
Wheeler company at Ampere, N. j.,
was recently seized with an attack
of hiccoughs. Various remedies were
suggested, but none were of any
avail. The attack had lasted for
several hours before it became nee
essary for him to stop work and
go home At the expiration of that
time he was completely exhausted
by the continued spasmodic contrac-
tons in his throat Each renewal of
the attack seemed to fairly tear his
insides," as he expressed it, The
works at Ampere cover twenty-five
acres, and the employe had to walk
through several big shops. SO eX-
hausted was he that when fresh
attack seized him, he staggered and
almost fell. He put out one hand
to steady himself, and the next in
slant he Strengthened out rigidly.
His hand had come in contact with
a generator carrying a current OF
$50 volts. After the lightning swift
withdrawal of his hand, and star
tied gasp, the man turned quietly
and went back to his work. He was
cured of the hiccoughs, but was
heard to state later that he thought
the disease almost preferable to the
drastic cure.

ARTICLES ON POLITICS
MUST BEAR THE LABEL

st. Paul, June 17-All political
editorials and communications of a
political nature to newspapers, peri
odicals and magazines in Minnesota
will have to be signed by their
authors, il the house corrupt practi-
ces act is passed by the senate as
amended. After a warm debate in
which Clinton Robinson of St.
Charles took a "fall' out of news
papers in general for attacking de-
fenseless legislators, the house adj
mitted Mr.. Robinson's amendment.
Mr.. Robinson declared that every
editorial of political nature should
be signed. .#

declared. e .-.
That some of the legislators are
bristling still under attacks made
on them in the state press after
! the adjournment of the regular SEES
sion, was evident by the willingness
with which they voted for the
amendment.
| Encouraged by the passage OF
this amendment, Mr.. Robinson in
troduced another which provided
that no paper can print any politi-
cal news or editorials six months
before a primary, without publish

capital letters, eight-point type" a

porations or partnerships.

r. c. Dunn of Princeton declared
this was impractical as some edi
torial pages were not large enough
to contain full list of the stock
/ holders. Mr.. Robinson then sub
stituted an amendment which pro
vided that stockholders owning
stock in excess of $1,000 should be
published. This lost by a vote OF
Al to SO. E....r
Other amendments, providing that
senator can spend $500 for nomina
ton and at the general election, and
house member can spend $500
were passed. The house recessed
until 100, when it resumed discus
sion of the corrupt practices act.

Taxation in
= Minnesota

: On or before the fourth Monday
of June the assessors of the state
will have completed the work of
valuing property for purposes of tax
alton. The assessment books are
then submitted to the local boards
of review. 1t is the duty of these
boards to carefully examine the as
sessment of the real and personal
property of their respective taxing
districts as returned by the asses
sor, and to equalize the same and to
add any omitted property to the as.
sessment rolls.
The local boards Of review are in
many respects the most important
boards having to do with the assess
ment of property for purposes OF
taxation. Equality of taxation de
ponds largely on the throughness
and impartiality Of their work. I'm
less they are careful to see that each
tract or lot of real property and
each article or class of personal
property is equitably and fairly as
sessed no subsequent step can fully
correct the injustice.

Unfortunately in some taxing dis
tricts the board of review performs

of the law. Every assessment of rea

fine reputation. 1t is claimed by his
friends that Harry was not one of
the proprietors of the Biackhawk

ing of the machine.
Mrs Raymond, mother of J. Fl.
Raymond, went from Minneapolis to
Chicago Saturday night to see her
son, and it is understood that she

from the long line of trouble he ap-
pears to have gotten himself into.

Attended Ball Game.

ton with their moving pictures.

board.
1t is not a reflection on the hon.
esty or good intentions of the asses
sor to change some of his valuations,
or to add property to the assessment

Assessors like other human beings
are fallible and may make mistakes
not intentional mistakes-but mis-
takes of Judgment The combined
Judgment of the three members of the
board of review, when they have
knowledge of conditions, should be
better than the judgment of sim

by such boards indicate a difference

ton on the good intentions of the
assessor.
While the duties imposed on boards

Vidual property owner is not relieved
| from certain responsibilities in the
equitable assessment of property
for purposes of taxation. II his prop
erty is over-assessed, or his neigh
| boris under-assessed, it is his duty
in the first case and his privilege in
the other to direct the attention OF
the board of review to such Unequal
ity. The proper time to complain
/ of an unfair assessment is when the
board of review is in session. ,'...

This board meets on the fourth
Monday in June, notice of such meet
ing being given in advance If any
! property owner feels aggrieved be-
cause of his assessment, or the as
sessment of his neighbor he should
appear before the board and have
the injustice corrected. The pro-
cedGre for correcting errors is very
simple when the board of review is
in session, while on the other hand
when the assessment is finally con-
! firmed and the tax extended, there
is considerable formality to be COM
piled with, under the law before an
! error can be corrected
! Every taxpayer should make it
his duty to ascertain whether or not
his assessment is equitable and fair
before the board of review finally
adjourns.

BRIGHT CROP OUTLOOK

General Agent Mcclure of the
International Harvester company
stated to The Free Press today that
never in the history of the north
west were crop prospects any bright
err than at the present time. This
is ideal weather for small grain.
Rain has been plentiful in North
and South Dakota and all over Min
nesota. There has been an abun-
dance of rain to the south and this
visitation will head off hot winds
from Kansas and futher south. The
corn is backward, but it is expected
that the weather conditions during
July and August will come to the
aid of this cereal.
