CHARLES D. HILLES.

1t is understood that President
Taft desires Charles d. Hilles, his
private secretary, to manage the ma
tional campaign. Mr.. Charles Dewey
Hilles, secretary to President Taft,
was born in Belmont county, Ohio,
June %, 1867, and was therefore
forty-fve years on Sunday. He
graduated from the GAINESVILLE
high school and entered an academy
at Oxford, and he was appointed
secretary to the superintendent of
the Boys Industrial school at Ian
caster, Ohio, in 1888, was city edi-
tor of The Lancaster Gazette from
1890 until 1892, was appointed finan,
cial officer of the Boys Industrial
school by Governor Mckinley in 1892
and served as such until appointed
superintendent by Governor Nash in
1900; he resigned in 1902 to become
superintendent of the New York
Juvenile asylum; was appointed as.
sistant secretary of the treasury in
April 1900, Mr.. Hilles was made
secretary of the president. April 4
1911. He is married, his wife hav,
ing been Miss Dollie Nell Whitley OF
Lancaster, Ohio. Whether he would
make as an aggressive campaign
manager as conditions will require
remains to be determined.

CAUSES FOR DIVORCE.

With view to showing the leg
islature that more money should be
appropriated for domestic science in
public schools, Mrs. Perry Stark
weather of the state bureau of labor,
is to have two women next week
look up the records of marriages
and divorces in the Hennepn county
court and place the records before
the legislature. ut is far better that
q woman know how to make a
johnny cake than to be able to
translate Latin verses" said Mrs.
Starkweather Good cooking will
stimulate domestic happiness and
cut down the grist of the divorce
mills. We hope to show by the rec
ords that it is up to the state to Of
fer opportunity to it's women TO
learn how to cook and keep house.
Pure cussedness has much to do
with cutting the marriage ties. This
fact should not be overlooked.
Drunkenness and a number of other
causes lead to the divorce court
also.

SOME INDIGNANT.

The Rapidan correspondent of The
Good Thunder Herald is indignant.
He or she-maybe it is a woman
refers to the fact that a couple of
Mankato men were out Wednesday
and Thursday locating and rescuing
fine automobile that had gone
over the bank late Tuesday evening
near the Bixby bridge, and adds:
"A certain Mankato daily saw fit to
try to make a mystery of the acct
dent-by saying that it occurred to
party from Nebraska who refused
to divulge his name-Or else said
daily had the wool most beautifully
pulled over it's eyes. AS a matter of
fact, whose business was it, anyway,
if a man had the i'll luck to lose
his car and could at once replace it
with another? There is no reason
why the entire neighbOrhood should
expect to be taken into the conf.
dence of the unfortunate one or con-
suited as to the procuring of an.
other car" There now

RESULT WAS INEVITABLE.

Out of the republican national
convention which ended Saturday
night came the denomination of
President William II. Taft and Vice
President J. S: Sherman. The cam
paign leading up to these nomina-
tons has been long, hot and bitter
between the supporters of President
Taft and Former President RoOse
vel Mr.. Taft has ardent advocates
all over the country who are natur-
ally highly pleased with the final
result. The same is equally true as
to Colonel Roosevelt whose friends
are greatly disappointed.
While great many republicans
would have welcomed the nOmina-
ton of Theodore Roosevelt, or ac-
copied more gracefully compromise
candidate, President Taft is again
made the standard bearer of the re-
publican party, and should be given
the support of. the members of that
political organization, and all others
who believe in constitutional gov
eminent II He is entitled to re-
election, having won this claim by
signal service and a display OF abili-
ty for his country's good.
In the light of all circumstances
attendant upon the turbulent gather
ing in Chicago, there could be no
other result obtainable than the re-
nomination of Mr.. Taft. The con-
tending factions were not in a mood
to give way to any proposition that
would lead to the naming of a third
man as the presidential nominee,
f,.in do Of he
incumbent of the White House in
control of the gathering, his re-
nomination was inevitable.

THE DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE.

Representative men of Southern
Minnesota will assemble in st. Peter
next Wednesday, June 26, to attend
the midsummer meeting of the
Southern Minnesota Better Develop
ment league, says The st. Peter
Herald. 1t is expected that several
ters affecting the commercial well
fare of this section of the state will
be considered Although the league
has been in existence less than
three months, it has done very eff
fective work in the way of forming
dependent county associations and in
directing attention to the more i'm
mediate needs of this region.
It's organization was a direct re-
suit of a joint meeting of the ST.
Peter and North Mankato CONNER
cial clubs, held in this city last
January. Several speakers urged the
necessity of unifying the counties
lying lin the southern part of the
state, and at meeting of the Min
nesota State Federation of CONNER
cial clubs, held in Minneapolis the
following month, delegates from
number of commercial bodies took
the first steps toward forming the
association. They appointed a COM
mittee to make arrangements for a
meeting, e. F. Soaring of Mankato,
being named as chairman.
The committee issued a call for
the meeting, and it was held at
Mankato April 2. Upwards of 800
men, representatives of the varied
interests of the southern part of
the state, attended it's sessions, and
they perfected an organization which
they christened the Southern Mime
sofa Better DEVELOPMENT league. T.

CHILDREN AND QUESTIONS.

There Is SOOQ deal OF truth Ill
the old quotation, Let me train
child till it is eight years old, and
care not who has it's training after
ward" most of the habits that are
to rule it's life being formed by that
time. Thus writes Dr. G. P. Put
nam in The Journal of Education.
Children showing a particular bent
in any direction should be encour
aged, whether it be skating, reading,
drawing or something else. If the
child has a propensity for asking
questions, it should be encouraged
by answering questions as well as
circumstances will allow. 1t is a
faculty deadening method to tell
child that it asks too many ques-
tons.
Grown-ups, instead of trying to
keep children quiet, should learn to
sleep by the aid of the noise and not
in spite of it, and they should al
bers who advocate the smallest pos
sible classes in school.
Children should never be fright
ened into being good by telling them
they will be turned over to the
mercies of a bear, a bogy man or
the doctor. The practice sometimes
destroys a child's belief in or re-
spect for parent or guardian.
Chidren's lies should not be re-
garded too seriously, as they often
result merely from a vivid magma
ton. Severe punishment should
seldom be given for fibs, but rather
gentle admonition, otherwise the
child will aim not to get found out
in it's lying rather than to avoid
lying itself. Above all, to make
truthful children parents should set
a good example themselves.
Even the stealing of money is
not a henious offense, and can u.s.
ually be cured by gentle remon-
STRANGE and argument. Formulas for
politeness should be avoided. polite
ness should always be based on
goodwill. If it is based on insin-
cerity it is Of no value.
AS to the children being ..'seen
and not heard" they should be
heard as much as possible, save on
rare occasions of great seriousness,
and the general conversation when
children are present should be on
subjects interesting to children.

WORKS A REACTIONARY.

The Albert Lea Standard, one of
the leading democratic newspapers
in Southern Minnesota, says this:
IS. d. Works of Mankato was one
of five senators who voted against
the income tax amendment. AS a re-
dictionary and stupid antagonist of
progressive legislation Senator Works
is entitled to the leather medal"
During the campaign two years ago,
The Free Press put Works in the re-
dictionary class. Now comes The
Standard, a democratic newspaper,
with an endorsement of our measure
of him. Can Works work" the peo-
pie of Blue Earth county further
with his palaver?

chard products, these should be men,
toned on his letterhead.
1.-THE Farmers Wife" suggests
that the women of the farm should
also have Osme stationery bearing
the individuality of their homes and
lives" But a prerequisite, in both
cases, is the adoption of suitable
name for the home or road, or both.
One will think more of his home,
and of the reputation of his farm
products, if it has name by which
it can be indentified; and the iden-
LITIGATION is made more complete If
the road also has a name.
In England a pleasing variety of
names has been found for local
roads. lanes, paths, ways, rulings,
alleys, avenues, highways, thorough
fares, or whatever may be the sub
stantive used in connection with the
descriptive noun. Why not adopt
some equally pleasing for our Ameri-
can roads; and make them stick"
not only by using them on our sta
tionery, but by painting them on
much-needed guide-posts at the
CROSSINGS?

PERPLEXlNG THE MIND.

A Minneapolis critic of the pri,
mary election law is informed by
one of the champions of the meas,
ure that his criticism is based up,
on a misunderstanding of the new
statute. The Minneapolis critic, if
he does not understand the law, is
not alone in this perplexity of mind
There are others who are just now
puzzling their brains over the new,
tangled plan Of nominating candi,
dates for public office. Instead OF

seem to be bent on making it all
the more complicated and less I'M
derstandable for a great many PEG,

BELIEVES THERE is A FLAW.

Henry Knott, city clerk, Minneapo
lis, believes he has found flaw
in the new statewide primary law
The law provides for two registra
ton days and says that citizen
to register, must have lived in the
state sixty days and in the precilct
in which he seeks to register thirty
Gays. The state law provides thar
man to vote must have lived in
the state six months and in the pre-
cinct in which he seeks to vote one
month. The primary election is to
be held seven weeks before general
election day and Mr.. Knott thinks
the laws inconsistent.

so heavy. All sorts of little assess
ments are made. This state institution

should be able to educate our boys
