A FINE LECTURE
DE-. Wilson Speaks on the Pre-
ventiOu Of Disease

Although the evening was dark and
gloomy, tht walking very disagree
able, fair sized audience heard DIR.
L. b. Wilson of Rochester, Mimi,
speak in the Assembly room of the
high school, March s. The program
opened with a piano duet by Misses
Erwin and Doolittle, Mendelssohn's
Wedding March, which received so
hearty an encore they gave The
Beetle Dance.
Miss Maxwell then recited ssThe
Boston Shop Girl" followed by s'The
Moot ow-Moo," both of which pleased
those present.
DR.. Wilson having arrived, coming
on the Winnipeg train. was intro
duced by DIR. e. J. Lewis. For forty
five minutes DR.. Wilson held the close
attention of the audience while he
told of some of the pr nciples of Pre-
vention of Disease. DIR. Wilson is a
quiet but earnest, forceful speaker
and the homely truths sank into the
minds of his hearers.
After the lecture many came for
ward to greet and thank DIR. Wilson.
One clergyman invited DIR. Wilson to
remain over Sunday to occupy the
pulpit morning or evening and preach
gospel which the people needed. 1t
is not often that the people of Sank
Centre and vicinity have the oppor-
tunity to hear so fine speaker as DR..
Wilson. The American Medical As
ISOLATION is sending speakers through.
out the country to bring these health
questions before th e public. The
Gradatim Club asked for DR.. Wilson
and only regret that more people did
not hear him. 1t is hoped he will
come again.

that any one In Sank Centre should
oppose the school, but he was inclined
to think, he said, that any opposition
or desire to stir up trouble came from
the Whittier crowd that made trouble
at Red Wing.
Hon. Frank E. Minette, representa-
tive in the legislature from this dis
trict, was the next speaker. Mr..
Minette explained what was required
in making appropriations, giving in
detail the method. followed by the
legislature. He spoke heartily in
favor of the school and declared he
would work for liberal appropria-
ton. Mr.. Minette told of the legis-
lative visit to the new penitentiary at
Saltwater and of the liberal appro-
priations made for that institution.
He said that inasmuch as the state
was using money freely for its insti-
buttons he thought Sank Centre
should 60 after and get all it could.
DR.. J. A. Dubois followed with an
i'm ASSIGNED speech in behalf of the
school. The doctor thought it was
pretty small business for anyone to
do anything to place an obstacle in
the way of the institution. He
thought some outsiders had meddled
and thus brought on the informal in
yestigation made by the legislative
committee. T h a committee, the
doctor said, s'came primed to e
something wrong about the school. !"
The doctor urged earnest, loyal and
enthusiastic support of the institu-
tion and decried any effort OH the
part of any person who would ham
per its work or it's development. He
thought the question of the cost Of
the school to Sank Centre was very
small; the increase in the taxes of
Sank Centre people would, he claimed,
be so small as to be practically negli-
gible. The doctor pledged his best
efforts to assist the school in any way
in his power.
A few others spoke briefly, all de-
claring themselves in favor of liber-
al appr -priation for the institution
for the coming year, and the resolu-
tions were adopted.

AT special meeting of the Com

the following resolutions were adopt
ed:
Whereas, the State of Minnesota
has located in our midst the Home
School for Girls, an institution We be-
lieve. is destined TO rebound to the
glory of our state to a degree not to
be surpassed by any other within its
boundaries, therefore, be it
Resolved: That we, the CONNER
cial Club of Sank Centre, body rep
resenting the interests of our city,
and rejecting the sentiments of its
people. do hereby most unqualifiedly
endorse the wonderful work done at
this institution by its capable and eff
ticieHt superintendent, Mrs. Fannie
French Morse. That we fully realize
that the humanitarian theories and
dreams for the betterment of an un-
fortunate class could never be trans
formed into practical results as they
are being done we're it not for the ex-
periepce, the generalship, and great
powers of organization possessed by
this superintendent.
1.-THE state can furnish the brick
and mortar, can erect the suitable
buildings as is being so fifty done by
our efficient Board of Control, but the
solution of some of these difficult So
cial problems will depend upon the
expert heads of our institutions.
"W.., hereby commend all the eff
Lforts5+apon the part of tile represent
ative3 Of the people in our legislature,
whies sta esing made along the lines
Of feaf economy, but we would re-
specially ask of the committees Of
the two chambers whose duty it is to
report upon the appropriations to be
made to various state institutions,
that the Home School for Girls shall
receive their fairest consideration;
that their shall be no crippling of the
efforts made in its behalf, and no es-
sential interference in h e plans
which have been mapped out for its
future. We believe in this institu-
tion.'
The following committee was APP
pointed to lay the re buttons before
the Finance Committees of the legis-
lature and to urge liberal appropri-
alton for the school: Mayor J. n.
McGibbon, DIR. IL. +. HEM mann, F.

G. Hillerud, E. A. Richards.
The resolution was introduced by
Mayor j. n. McGibbon, who stated
briefly that he had asked the presi-
dent of the Club to call special
meeting because of the fact that he
Mayor had received letter from
the cities in which il was charged
that there was opposition, in Sank
Centre, to the school. The Mayor
read few paragraphs from the letter
i,to.prove his point, but did not reveal
the name Of the writer. The Mayor
said he could not credit the belief

free throws. Alexandria showed

of $50, 900. 1t is a fine structure, fit
ted with all the modern conyeniences
and well adapted to the purpose for
which it is designed. The special de-
partments now have plenty Of room
and ample equipment for conducting
the work. The year is drawing to
Iclose successfully and the outlook
seems satisfactory for another even
]: better year. >

ST. PAUL, March 10: The Minette
telephone bill-one Of the big meas
l,res introduced this session-passed
the House almost unanimously Wed
nesday, only three members voting
no. John G. Lennon of Minneapolis,
chairman Of the telephone committee,
fought hard to knock out of the bill
the section compelling rival lines to
connect with each other, but only
eight representatives sustained him.
The chief provisions of the measure
are these:
All telephone companies shall be
under the control Of the state rail-
road and warehouse commission.
Every company must furnish ade-
qlate service, must charge all patrons
alike, free service being unlawful, ex-
cept to the officers and agents of the
company.
Annual reports must be filled by the
companies with the railroad and ware
house commission and uniform sys-
tenn of accounting must prevail.
Physical connection between COM
paI.ies shall apply to toll lines only.
municipalities shall have the right
to take over telephone lines, and in
all cases shall lave control of the To-
cation of poles and wires.
One CONS any cannot purchase con-
troll of another company without the
consent of the state commission.
Companies may surrender fran
chises granted prior to the passage of
this act.
Ii the Senate passes the Minette
bill, fight will have been won which
began many years ago, for at every
session similar bills have been before
the legislature, but have been defeat
ed because of the active opposition of
the Bell telephone company, aided
and abetted by some of the indepen-
dents, including the Tri-State. Form
er Attorney General Young drew the
Minette bill and he is confident that
it vii; mean great deal to the peo-
pie Of the state.
A happy man is Senator T. e. CASH
man of Owatonna, for after strug-
gle of six years his distant tariff bill
has passed the State Senate and is
conceded an excellent chance of pass
ing the House. The elimination of
the fight in the Senate over this bill
came Wednesday evening. Senator
eastman opened the debate with a
speech lasting nearly two hours, in
which he maintained that the rail-
roads of Minnesota have discriminate
ed against the country cities and vii
iages in the matter of freight rates
and have thereby built up the in
dustries of the three big cities at the
expense of the smaller cities of the
state. He submitted a large number
of examples of rate discrepancies and
inequality, read numerous letters and
newspaper articles in support of his
bill, and built up very strong argu-
ment which the opposition speakers
found it hard to demolish. Indeed,
after the struggle was over, those who
have opposed the bill with vigor and
determination conceded that Senator
eastman had handled his case with
: marked ability and expressed admir-
alton for his tireless and gallant eff
forts. Tie Senator has throughout

Capital punishment was the theme
for great deal of fiery oratory in both
branches last week. On Wednesday
the Senate passed the Wilson bill in
flicting the death penalty upon pris-
oners, convicted of first degree muir
der, who assault their guards or other
persons in trying to escape. Only
nine votes were recorded against the
measure, and about the only senator
who made an extended argument
against it was Mr.. Putnam of Blue
Earth. Senator Lende, one of the
most radical of the Senate radicals,
joined with G. Fl. Sullivan, chief of
the conservatives, in fIyor of the
Wilson bill Meanwhile the House
has been busy with the Pless bill,
which leaves it to the jury to decide
whether a person convicted of first
degree mursar shall be hanged OF
given life term. 1t was advanced
to the calendar Wednesday, but when
brought to vote Friday fell three
votes short OF passing. However,, a
dozensinembers were absent, and the
friends of the bill have not given up
hope of putting the bill through yet.
Whether the Pless bill passes or not,
one thing iscertain--namely, that the
Wilson bill will become a law, and
rightly so.

Senator Sageng's resolution propos-
ing a probe in the last three political
campaigns in Minnesota, which passed
the Senate, was reported for indefinite
postponement by the House commit
tee on general legislation, to which it
was referred when it reached the low
er body, and as the House adopted
the committees report, the resolution
is dead and buried. Only one man in
the committee favored the resolution,
and there was but little support for it
in the House, the feeling prevailing
that nothing would be accomplish
by an notwithstanding but ex-
pense to the state.

The Senate primary bill, which I
discussed last week, has not come up
for action in the House yet, but the
members are talking about it. The
talk is not favorable, and it can be put
down as certainty that if the bill
goes through the House at all it will
be so radically changed that the Sem
ate will not recognize it. About the
only feature in the bill which is gem
orally approved in the Fouse is the
change in the primary date from Sep
TENDER to June. The recognition of
the Bull Moose party and the nom
partisan nomination of legislative
members is strenously opposed by the
leaders.
