TO establish reciprocal relations with

compelling the Home to secure gem

business in its own office. Several
agencies covering all branches of in-

CUPID LOSES OUT
St. Cloud Mans Efforts to Save His Lady
Love from Willmar Jag Farm
Are Unavailing.

Cupid and the strong arm of the
law clashed last Thursday afternoon,
and the law came out the victor. 1t
tore away from D. Kaiser of st. Cloud,
Mimi, his 41-year-old fiancee, and
said that she should go to the state
inebriate farm at Willmar instead of
being Joined in wedlock.
Kaiser demurred, and tried to carry
away his would-be bride by force from
the laws grasp and marry her in the
Court House, but the law said no.
The woman was brought before the
probate court of Ramsey county on a
charge of inebriety made by her sis
ter. The. hearing took place before
Judge Bazille. DR.. Halvor Sneve and
DR.. w. D. Kelly, who, in spite of the
mans plea that he be allowed to make
her his wife, adjudged her a victim of
morphine, and ordered her sent to the
state flag" farm at Willmar. "
Kaiser seized his fiancee by the arm
and rushed out of the court room, de-
claring he would marry her anyway.
Deputy sheriff Charles Reichow inter-
fered and brought the woman back
into court. Kaiser followed her to the
county jail, and, as the iron doors of
the institution changed behind her,
threw himself down on the pavement

CONTRACTS AWARDED
Board of Control Visits Sank Centre, In
spect Girls Home School and Lo-
cate Sites for New Cottages.

Mrs. Vasaly, Swendsen and Wheel
ock, members of the Minnesota State
Board of Control, spent Wednesday
at Sank Centre going over the affairs
of the Home School for Girls. Of
course everything was found to be in
first-class condition. Several girls
appeared before the board asking for
either a discharge or parole and the
cases were taken under advisement.
While in the city the board let the
contract for the erection of the TWO
new cottages provided for by the last
legislature. These buildings will not
be fire-proof as the amount of money
a valuable will not permit of ire-proof
construction. This is mistake be-
cause in time they will either have to
be replaced by new buildings or will
be SO badly damaged by fire that they
will be worthless.
There were four bidders on the gen.

RACE With Death
Mrs. Vina MantOr Hastens to the Bed
side of Her Dying Son in
Seattle

Reid A. Mantor died at Seattle,
WASH, last week after an illness of
a few days with liver trouble. The
deceased was about % years of age,
and was the grand son of Mrs. j. H.
Bush, pioneer resident of Sank Centre
Wiz passsd awayra year ago. The
following taken from a Seattle news
paper tells the story of the mothers
frantic race with the Grim Reaper:
Speeding in race against death,
Mrs. Vina Mantor, accompanied by
Chester Love, were rushed to Seattle
from their home at 1922 DcDougall
street in an hour and sixteen min
utes last night in the motor car of
Joe Goldth6rp.
Mis-. Mantor received a telegram
early in the evening that her son had
been stricken with an illness and
that if the mother would see the
young man she must reach his bed
side Immediately.
1t was a wild ride from McDougall
street to the Howell hotel on Ninth
street in Seattle. The motor car
swung dizzily around the curves and
plunged along straightaWay courses:
but the goal was reached without &C
cident, for safe hand on the pilot

Harry Noble Drowned at Hill

BROUGHT Home FOR BURIAL
William HEWITT Accidentally Killed
at Grand FOrks---Also
Buried Here

Harry Noble, son of Shelby Noble,
formerly rural free delivery carrier
and now residing near this city, was
accidently drowned at Hill City, N.
d.. Friday. August 18th.
Mr.. Noble was employed by the
National Wooden Ware Company of
Hill City, N. D., and with the super
intendent and another officer of the
company was crossing the lake to
look after some logs. They took their
bathing suits along in order to enjoy
a swim. When about a mile from
their starting point Mr.. Noble, who
was an expert swimmer. arrayed him
self in his bathing suit and leaped
from the boat. After swimming
about couple of rods he was taken
with cramp, threw up his hands
and called for help and sank in about
fifteen feet of water.
His companions at once rowed to
the spot expecting to see him rise to
the surface but he never came up af-
ter sinking the first time. AS neither
of his companions could swim they
were powerless to render assistance
by diving.
A funeral service was held first at
Hill City and was attic nded by the 500
employees of the wooden ware factory
in body. The remains were brought
to Sank Centre for final interment
and Monday morning funeral services
were held in the Baptist church, con-
Quoted by the pastor, Rev. Kennard.
Mrs. Miller presided at the organ and
a quartet consisting of Rev. Duel, AL
Fish and Misses Carr and Erwin, rem
dered the choral service. The pail
bearers we're Julian Parker, Carleton
Gingery, Patrick Costello, John Han
son, Christian Rjone and Howard
Marshall.
Harry Noble was we'll known in
Sank Centre. He attended the pub
lie school up to the Freshman year
when he entered the Sank Centre
Business College from which he grad
uated with credit.
He was clean cut, clean living
young man and left a host of friends
who sincerely regret his untimely de-
parture. His father, Shelby Noble of
Sank Centre, two brothers, a sister
and an aged grandmother are the i'm
surviving relatives.

PUBLIC UTILITY
CAMPAIGN OPENS
Gov. Eberhart Delivers Strong
Address at St. Paul Last
Saturday Evening
PRESENT SYSTEM OBSOLETE
Chief Executive Covers Subject
Thoroughly, Giving Reas-
ons for New Law.
PRESENT SYSTEM OBSOLETE

st. Paul.-(SpeCl1l)- GOVernor ED-
erhart opened his campaign for state
wide control of public utilities in a
speech before a crowded meeting OF
the st. Paul Office Mems association
at the St. Paul hotel. The governor
said, in part:
Never before in the history OF our
nation have greater problems confront
ed us for solution. Enormous agricul-
tural and mineral resources and un-
surpa ssed facilities for transportation,
coupled with a most wonderful genius
for invention, organization, and de-
velopment, have enabled the Amer!-
can people to produce untold millions
of wealth and to form the most gigan-
tic CONNER cial and industrial organ
ization ever known to the civilized
world.
The effective control of these bust
ness organizations by nation, state,
and municipality has long been the
object of Legislative and executive
authority, but not until the last two
decades has such control become gen.
orally effective. This applies special
ly to public utilities organizations.
Prior to the last two decades the con-
troll of public utilities was attempted
only by the various municipalities.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1913-08-21

That such regulation, with very few
exceptions, has been a failure is now
quite generally conceded. 1t has been
found utterly impossible to keep the
public utilities out of politics and the
constantly changing municipal authori-
ties, dominated largely by ward poll
ticianS, have made their campaigns on
some issues involving such public uti!-
tiles organizations with the result
generally that the public utilities have
either dominated the administration
or have been made a political football
for the benefit of INSCRIPTIONS politi
clans. Only the favored few have
benefited by such administration and
the vast majority of consumers have
been compelled to pay high and dis
criminatory rates for inadequate and
inferior service.
Perhaps the strongest evidence of
unsuccessful municipal regulation of
public utilities is the rapid growth of
municipal ownership. That municipal
ownership of public utilities as COM
pared with municipal regulation has
been generally successful will not be
questioned. Municipal ownership OF
public utilities when properly direct
ed, has been blessing to many mu-
inequalities of this state, and in most
instances has proven itself infinitely
superior to the former local regula-
ton.
As general rule it can be safely
stated that the state or the municipal
ity should not engage in any business
enterprise which can be conducted as
efficiently and economically for the
benefit of all concerned by the pri-
vate individual or association. But
human nature is always more or less
selfish, and in the case of public utili-
ties, which by their very nature often
constitute monopolies of public neces-
sites, these must not under any cir
cumstances be left prey to selfish
and INSCRIPTIONS private enterprise.
It is therefore essential in order to
properly protect the interests of the

Likes Minnesota Best

A Minnesota editor recently made a
trip among the sagebrush, sandhills
and cactus of the west and then wrote
his paper as follows: "The people of
Minnesota do not fully realize what a
mighty good thing they have. We
wish every farmer in the state could
take trip westward through Wyo-
ming, Utah and Nevada-not to men
ton Arizona, New Mexico and several
other states. He would travel through
thousands of miles of country that is
barren and desolate-and then come
home to good old Minnesota verit-
able garden spot state. A man who
has a good farm here is in a position
to envy no man"
