Developing Southern Minnesota

60 In view of the interest now being
taken in the development OF Southern
Minnesota it may be timely to report
speech made by Secretary E. F.
Soaring of the Msnksto Commercial
Club at the recent banquet for the
editors at Mankato. Mr.. Soaring is
much interested in the good roads
work and in other means for boosting
Southern Minnesota. He said, in
brief 'It is q shame that farmers OF
garden spot like this should be pull
ing up their stakes and moving to
other places where the land is some.
what cheaper, yet does not prove as
profitable in the end. The cheap lands
OF Canada have fooled away thousands
of farmers. Just recently 1000 men
gathered at Aberdeen, S. D., to con-
slider this emigration question.
1T is we'll that something construc.
tive should be urged. In each COM
munity the Commercial Club is the
central organization of the business
men. Every city of any size whatever
has Commercial Club and these are
the active workers for the lettering of
poor conditions"
"When we come to final analysis
of the condition of the entire Southern
Minnesota, we lind that it is dis
tinctively an agricultural community
and the people depend mostly on the
products of the soil for their living.
Even in Mankato with its splendid
manufacturing industries, single
crop failure would affect the people
considerably"
"There are two things that the Com.
mercial Cluos can do. First, hold
the people here: second, bring in a
large population. The farming COM
munity can be made happier and the
boys will find it to their benefit to re.
main at home".
He then outlined what the com
mercisl clubs can do. The first method
of making themselves useful, is the
extension of good roads, and helping
the farmers make their roads better
every year. Second, getting more
people to come to this section, which
can be done by advertising. Th'
Mankato club is at present following
this most excellent precept. Third
assist in getting exhibits at the stat
and county fairs; fourth, develop tn
water power. Within nine miles o
Mankato one of the finest dams in th
state has been built, which furnishe
the electricity not only for that city
but for the surrounding towns an
villages.
Sixth, interurban railroads shoul
be started. It is said that there is
movement on foot at present, to star
line from Albert Lea, throug
Worthington, and then to Sioux Falls
S. D. These lines should be extende
for they can accomplish as much her
as they have done in the east. Anothe
method of lettering this district, is b
exploiting the lakes as summer resort
aud advertising the climate, for thi
brings in tourists, and they Away
leave considerable money behind then
The Commercial clubs should assist
getting conventions to their cities, 8
that when those attending return, the
will take with them favorable In
pressions about the city in which Il
convention was held. .....

Corruption Of
Political Bosses
New Haven Union. }


Ex-Judge Mathewson comment
ed briefly upon the Statement al
legged to have been made recent
ly by Senator Edward w. Hooker,
ex-mayor of hartford, that condi-
tons which control state politics
are bad and that it was up to GER
tain leaders.
TT isn't so bad in Hartford
county," Mr.. Hooker is credited
with saying, ''but in Windham
county and in Litchfield and New
Haven they go like flock of
sheep on a cash basis"
my position is well-known in
regard to the situation in small
towns" said ex-Judge Mathewson.
In New Haven, / should say
that the delegates generally study
the situation until they know
pretty well what the citizens
want. In the small towns, how
ever, the power of the leader is
absolutely pernicious. This does
not apply to the city of New Ha-
ven. and that this condition pre-
walls here is absolutely untrue.
In the small towns, however, I
should say as a rule that the
leaders are corrupt"

At the next meeting of the Common
Council a hearing will be ordered on
the discontinuance of present building
lines in Main street from Gilbert
street to Fairfield avenue, and the es-
Enlistment of new. ones.
The special committee handling this
matter includes the heads of the Man.

Owing to the illness of City Engin-
eer Terry, who Is suffering from grip

Saunders represented that official at a
meeting of the special committee held
last evening. 1t is the plan Of the
committee to change the building lines
Of Main streets as follows:
On the west side of the street, sub
stitute for the five foot line from state
to Bank streets an eight foot line; and
substitute for the five foot line from
John street to Fairfield avenue nine
foot line. An eight foot line has re-

four feet from Gilbert to State, and
five feet from State to Bank, undis-

possible the present layout. Maps of
the proposed changes are to be found

he had been triumphantly elected
President, ''the wise custom which
limits the president to two terms re-
CARDS the substance and not the form,
and under no circumstances will be
q candidate for or accept another
nomination"
In our opinion this is far the most
serious of the difficulties in Mr..
Roosevelt's path to a third term.
The precedent against which Mr.
Roosevelt has arrayed himself was es-
tablished by George Washington, the
first President of the United States
who in his farewell address expressed
the fear, that sooner or later the
chief of some prevailing faction, moro
able or more fortunate than his COM
petitors would secure his own eleva.
ton on the ruins of public liberty"
and he said, that without looking
forward to an extremity of this kind
it il our duty, nevertheless, not to
permit it to be entirely out of sight.
Was not this danger of dictator
ship the very danger which Mr..
Roosevelt had in mind when he de-
clared the custom which limits the
president to two terms wise custom.

GERMANY VS.. ENGLAND

Berlin, March. 8-A month has pas
sed since the unexpected visit to Ber-
lin Of Lord Haldane, British Minister
of War. which set the press Of all
Europe aflutter with excitement and
speculation, but so far there has been
no evidence of any practical results.
Germany and England are still far
from being friends, nor does there
seem my immediate prospect of the
feeling of anita gon;sna, suspicion and
bitter feeling growing ont of the Mo-
rocco deal, abating in the slightest
degree.
The German press does not seem
anxious about England's friendship
except upon distinctly German terms,
and so far is no. working particular
" hard for peacA Each nation, how
ever. seems to realize the danger of a
continuance Of present relations, and
it is no longer denied in semi-official
circles in German government that
Haldane's visit was for the purpose
of sounding the German government
upon what basis an understanding be-
tween England and Germany might
be reached. What rankles deeply in
the heart of the Germans anG has
gone far to undo whatever good might
have been done by Haldane. was the
declaration of Winston Churchill that
Eng1ands big fleet was a necessity
but Germany'S fleet was a luxury.
No better indication of how Ger
many regards the situation can he
shown than the new bill before the
Riechstag for the increase of the army
and the navy.

Three obstacles loom larger than
the rest in the rough pathway Of
Theodore Roosevelt back to the White
House. The first is the incumbent Of
the office who controls more patron
ago than any other potentate in the
world; the second Is Mr.. George W.
Plfkins who han just undiplomatical-
ly announced everybody knows I'm
for Roosevelt which tends to create
the suspicion, in the minds Of those
who remember the Tennessee Coal &
Iron Co. transaction that Mr.. Roose-
welt is Morgan's man. This view
WIN not be diminished because of the
secrecy With which it. was attempted
to surround Mr.. Perkins latest visit
TO Oyster Bay. Mr.. Roosevelt has
explained. He, has said that any
body can call on him, that eff they
told me not to say that they were not
there would say certainly" This
merely raises the question, why did
Mr.. Perkins want Mr.. Roosevelt to
say he wasn't there.
The third obstacle is the statement
made by, Mr.. Roosevelt on November
s., 1904, on the night of the day when

Ger will be cut away and the eosin-
selenium specific, administered for the
purpose of searching out and extir-
pating the roots" which the knife
has heretofore been unable to reach
and which have been responsible for
a frequent recurrence of the disease.
1t must not be forgotten. however,
that many cancer cures have been put
forward from time to time by reput-
able investigators in good faith and
yet these remedies have subsequent
ly been found to be of little or no
value. 1t is entirely too early to
form conclusions upon the merit of
the most recent discovery but we are
warranted in feeling hopeful that t
will be as useful as its discoveries be-
lieve it will be.

and prevents the city from taking a
profit by discounting its bills.
If modern system can be had
without. adding largely to the book
keeping cost, the city will certainly
be benefited.
Mr.. White considers at some length
the advantages of some comparison
q the figures for the same department
from year to year ana the figures of
the several departments with each
other but there are also advantages
in system which will enable the fig
ures Of one city to be compared with
those of another. figure for figure.
1t is therefore suggested that the
system installed in Bridgeport should
be as far as state laws and the city's
charter will permit in accordance with
the system of municipal accounting
recommended by the federal govern
ment.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-03-08

During the past thirty-one years
deaths from cancer nave been in
creasing in Connecticut actually and
relatively. In 1879, but 209 deaths
OCCURRED from this cause or three ana
f6fty-two one hundredths for each
ae2 thousand of the population. In
1871 the number had increased to
SIS or eight and thirty one hum
dredfhs per ten thousand of popula-
tion. These figures show with rea-
sohable accuracy the growth Of this
fearful malady throughout the Unit
ed States. Much interest attaches
therefore to the 'selective" remedy
ofEvon wassermann and Ehrlich. This
remedy is the result of much expert
mentation upon mice and has the
quality of destroying the diseased It's

DR. HADlEY ON HOW
TO Be PROSPEROUS
Health, Education and Competition
Are i'm His Formula to Improve
the Working Classes.

New Haven, March Sin a state
ment before the Trades Council, DR..
Arthur T. Hadley, president of Yale
University, in discussing the improve
ment of the working classes, said:
'I believe that a general improve
ment in the condition of the people
of the country can only be obtained
by improving their Industrial eff
cheney; by enabling them to make a
large amount of useful products or
do a larger amount of useful service.
Three things contribute to that end.
First, knowledge Of the laws of health.
This enables people in general to work
during a longer period of life, with
less deduction through Sickness, less
pain and more success.
Second, Industrial education of both
employers and employed. The effect
of this is seen conspiciously In Ger
many. It is due to this cause that the
per capita product of the German Ia
borer and his wages have increased
thirty per cent. while the output and
wages of the English workman have
rema ined stationary.
Third, competition. It will either
bring wages up or prices down" go

Local Tro'Ieymen
Ratify Schedule
WORK OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE
APPROVED AT MEETING
OF UNION.

The reassignment of trolley runs,
perfected at a conference between a
committee representing Bridgeport
trolleymen and officials Of the Con-
necticut Co., last week, was approved
at a special meeting of the Bridge
port employees, opened at 2 o'clock yes
terday and continuing until late in the
evening to give all who wished an OPP
portunity to vote.
The occasion of the meeting yester-
day was dissatisfaction expressed by
a number of men who claimed that
the members of the committee on con-
ference had SO arranged the schedules
that the men who were not on the
committee were given less favorable
runs.
One Of the features Of the meeting
of last night was the charge that
the union here is infested with Spies
whose occupat ton is to hurry with
news of the doings Of every meeting
of the union into the offices Of officials
Of the company.

FISCAL REFORM IN BRIDGEPORT

The address of Peter White before
the Bridgeport Business Mems Asso-
citation may be fairly regarded as re-
flecting the ideas of Mr.. White rela-
tive to Bridgeport's bookkeeping, al
though it dealt entirely with condi-
tons in st. Louis and other remote
localities.
With most of Mr.. Whites views
everybody with even sprinkling of
information on the subject will agree.
The ordinary city charter is hodge
podge. The Bridgeport charter es-
pecially is collection Of the whims,
prejudices and political conceits Of
several generations of politicians.
These charter requirements. often
imposing allied duties and functions
upon widely separated departments,
also often divide duties closely anal
ogous among several departments, AMI
otherwise make it exceedingly diff
cult to establish a good system Of ac-
counting, and more difficult to keep
the system in operation after it's es-
adjustment.
The construction, care and mainten-
ance of the streets is a case. in point.
Certain authority over the streets is
vested in the mayor and two COM
mittees of the Common Council. in
the Director of Public Works, in the
superintendent of Streets, in the City
Engineer and in the Permanent Paw
ing and Sewer Commission.
All of these bodies and functionar-
- are practically autonomous. The
Director of Public Works is not ac-
countable to the Permanent Paving
Commission, nor the Superintendent
of Streets to him, nor the City Engin-
eer to either, nor any of them in any
direct sense to anybody.
The Common Council theoretically
has a measure of control, but the
practical operation of its power is
confined to removal for maifeasance
and such areas of legislative influence
as are not controlled by charter pro-
visions.
1t will be seen that these charter
barriers impose considerable obstacles
to systematic accounting, such as are
absent from a private enterprise.
But much may nevertheless be
DONE
There can be a system of property
accountability, SO that the city may
know what it owns, and the quantity
quality and value of it's goods on hand
at any time.
The city's cash can be checked and
balanced daily.
There IS room for a reorganization
of methods of paying city employees
and record of labor results, which
would enable the citizenship to know
fer instance, why the pey roll of a
given department is $4,000 one year
and $4,000 the next year.
There is also need, as Mr.. White
has attested. for system of settling
with the creditors of the city which
will be less circuitous than the meth
% IN use here and elsewhere which
frequently delays the payment of a
just debt from two to three weeks
