Lesson from Chicago Preachers
March on the City Hall

People who read the Chicago newspapers are ia
niliar with the story of how Mayor Harrison of that
city snubbed the ministers who called at his office to
protest against his announced intention to permit the
abrogaon of the saloon closing law between the hours
of one and three New Years morning. The mayor was
evidently fully determined in his mind as to his
course in the matter and would not concede SO
much as hearing to the men who were protesting
against this annual New Years orgy He has his way
about it, The lid "was unchanged" as per official
sanction and the widest New Years Eve celebration
of many years took place. Fights and braws and IN
decencies of various kinds held full sway And
more the chief executive of the city has put himself on
record as knowingly consenting to the violation OF law
Both the mayor and the chief of police have set
an example in their act of temporarily multiplying the
CITY ordinances that interfere with the pursuit of the
personal liberty of the minority Can society blame
the crminay inclined fellow who follows the example?
There have been many editorial expressions in
the public press seeking explanation for the aaz
ING conduct of Mayor Harrison toward the ministers
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1913-01-10

who called upon him in protest These vary but there
is but opinion concerning the merits Of their case
The closing ordinance is plain.
One question raised is worthy of serious thought
the part of the good people Of this city. An editor
asks "Was Mr. Harrison merely discreet, figuring that
the cafes and the saloons and the underworld repre-
sent votes election day than do the churches
DR.. Boynton estimates that at least 2,35oooo Of Chi
cago's population were opposed to the New Years
debauch We believe that estimation is not extrava-
giant. But how about election day? Is it possible
that Mayor Harrison for the friendship OF
that class of people who desire to give the city to
debauchery and drunkenness and rotng than he does
for the friendship of the sober, righhinking people
of the city, Isn't it true that this class of citizens
faithful at the ballot box in rewarding friends
than the better element Isn't that the ma or
ty of the stay-at-home election day is found
among the class of citizens who do not approve of the
kind of celebration that took place New Years Eve in
the city of Chicago? If this is true, isn't there
tain responsibility upon the good people Of Chicago
in this matter? Hasn't the time come when the good
citizens who are undoubtedly in the majority should
demonstrate their power at the ballot box and thereby
insure for themselves courteous hearings questions
of public concern at the hands of public officials?

TUBERCULOSIS VICTIM
Miss Stella Minette of Sank Centre
Dies on The Verge of Young
WOmanhoOd.

Stella Katherine Minette, fourth
daughter of Hon. and Mrs. Frank
Minette of Sank Centre, died early
Monday morning after a lingering
illness with tuberculosis, aged 16
years.
The little lady was first taken i'll
something over year ago when she
was compelled to give up her school
work, just after she had entered the
Freshman year Of her high school
life.
In company with her sister, Miss
Rose, she spent greater portion of
the past summer near Glasgow, Mon
tana, living out of doors. Upon her
return home a couple of months ago
she was much improved in health and
her parents and relatives hoped that
the Improvement was permanent, but
the ravages of this dread disease had
too firm hold to be shaken. She
was up and around last Thursday, but
soon took to her bed and gradually
sank until her Master called her
early Monday morning. She was con-
scious to the last.
The funeral services were held at
Our Lady of the Angels church We'd
nesday morning, Rev. Father Hinne-
camp reading tn Requim High Mass.
The services were very largely at
tended, slight tribute of the love
and esteem in which the young lady
was held by those who knew her. Six
young men cousins were the active
pail bearers, They were: Henry
Schwartz, Everett Lux, Ben Minette,
Nick Young, Louie Borgmann of
Sank Centre, and Geo. Kidding of
Long Prairie. Little Miss Emalinde
Borgmann, another cousin, was the
cross-bearer.
The members of the Freshmen
class of the local high school, class
mates of the deceased, attended the
funeral in body, and the following
girls all attired in white, were the
honorary pail bearers: Helen Don
art, Jssie Hansen, Mildred Shaw, Ed
ma Collins, Rose Cordell and Helen
Allen.
Mrs. Merle Bush of Cut Bank,
Mont, and Ed. Minette, of Ross, N.
D., sister and brother, attended the
funeral.
The family is one of the Oldest and
most highly respected in this vicinity,
and the Herald joins other friends in
expressing sincere sympathy to the
bereaved parents, brothers and sis
tiers, in their affection.

ANNUAL Meeting % y:
TUESDAY NIGHT
STEARNS COUNTY AGRICULTURE
AL SOCIETY WILL MEET
NEXT WEEK.
OFFICERS WILL Be elected
SECRETARY WILL ALSO MAKE
REPORT OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION,

The annual meeting of the Stearns
County Agricultural Society will be
held at the Commercial Club rooms in
the City of Sank Centre on Tuesday
evening of next week, Nov. 18th, at
eight o'clock. ..> ~ IT,.
At this meeting Secretary Dubois
will make detailed report of the ex-
act financial condition of the society
as he will send it to the state auditor.
If the association receives as much
from the state as is expected there
will be nice surplus left over.
The annual election of officers for
the ensuing year will come up at this
meeting. The Herald is certain that
it voices the wish of every friend of
the fair in expressing the hope that
the present very aggressive and eff
ficient officers can be prevailed upon
to accept the places for another year.
President McGibbon and Secretary
Dubois have the faculty of working
together tremendously and enthusi-
astically and of imparting their en-
thusiasm to others.
The Stearns County Agricultural
Society has passed the critical stage
and the work would be much easier
for these officers the coming year.

LEAVES THIS TERRITORY
A. c. MacGowan For Many Years
Block Man For Deere and
Weber, Transferred.

One of the most popular travelling
statesmen making the Sank Centre
territory is A. C. MacGowan, for
many years blockman for the Deere
& Weber Company of Minneapolis.
Besides being genial person to meet
he is decidedly live wire in the bus
mess world. His company appreci-
ating this has transferred him to
Watertown, S. D., where he will have
an opportunity to accomplish greater
things. "Mac" is taking his last run
over this territory this week, intro
ducing his successor, a Mr.. Steere.
Thursday evening of last week a
number of his friends arranged an
informal farewell feed for him at the
Palmer hous which was attended by
George Borgmann, Ed. Hanson, Frank
Minette, S. P. Hansen, Adam Ingram,
Sidney Mann, Chas. Fiesler, and w.
F. Sanderson of Sank Centre, "Pet"
Brawley of st. Paul and F. G. Smith
of Minneapolis. The feed was served
in the Palmer House best style and
that is going some.
"Mac" has been too busy all these
years to take unto himself a wife.
He is not quite so much of lady's
man as Halverson nor is he quite as
backward as Ed. Hanson. He will
take the best wishes of host of
friends with him into his new field Of
endeavor, " =. ,.-.

SAUk CENTRE Will
HAVE WHITE WAY"
COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL PUSH
. PROJECT DURING COMING
WINTER MONTHS.
START WORK In EARLY SPRING
SAUK LAKE TO BE CLEANED OF
WEEDS AND OTHERWISE
BEAUTIF1ED.
START WORK IN EARLY SPRING

The Commercial Club at its regular
meeting last Friday evening discussed
several live wire propositions which
if carried out would materially i'm
prove and benefit the city of Sank
Centre
The question of urging the city
council to provide for a white way"
on the business streets was discussed
and the members present gave the
plan their hearty Endorsement.
The Herald understands that the
council several months ago had the
proposition under consideration. At
that time they proposed to erect a
white way extending from one depot
to the other, but gave it up because
of the expense which would run into
several thousand dollars The plan as
proposed at the Commercial club
meeting Friday evening was to have
the city white way" a couple of
blocks on Main street and one on
Third next year, making additions to
the system as fast as financial con-
ditions would permit. President Hen
nemann appointed Messrs. Hilsdale,
Hillerud and Sanderson as a COM
mittee to take the matter up with the
council at the next regular meeting
and urge them to take favorable ac-
ton on the proposition and be pre-
pared to start the work as soon as
spring opens up.
Chairman Kelsey of the committee
on Improvement Of the conditions at
Sank Lake reported that they had
spent some time endeavoring to find
the best method of graduating the
weeds and other plant life which in
fest this otherwise beautiful body of
water. He said that there were sew
eral varieties of weeds. Some of
them were annual and the rest were
perennial and would take several
years to eradicate, and then it could
only be accomplished by hard work.
The committee were instructed to con-
fer with the city council and induce
them to purchase barge and other
suitable machinery to make the i'm
provement.
The coming short course by the
University Extension bureau was
heartily endorsed by the club.
A movement was started at Friday
evenings meeting to secure a large
number of new members to the club,
among them progressive farmers.
Any person of good moral standing
is eligible to membership and it seems
to the Herald that every live wire
business man and farmer would
desire to be affiliated with this
splendid organization.

RETURN FROM THE EAST
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Botz Spent Very
Enjoyable Month With
Detroit Relatives.

Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Botz returned
last week from an extended visit to
Detroit, Mich, The home of their
childhood.
The trip was full of interesting in
cidents although they found every
thing much changed from the time
they lived there. Mrs. Botz has six
cousins living in Detroit and vicinity
whom she had not met for over fifty
years and enjoyed visiting a4d rem
iniscencing with them very much.
They spent the time autoing in and
around the city visiting places of in
terest.
The Ford automobile factory, where
they employ 1900 men and turn out
125 cars a day, was one of the places
visited.
Mr.. Botz stated that the Ford peo-
pie informed him that they expected
to put a $375.00 car on the market the
coming season. There are fourteen
automobile factories in Detroit.
They found Detroit a city of well
paved streets and beautiful parks and
boulevards and they enjoyed every
minute of their visit but were glad to
get back home and are more satisfied
than ever that Sank Centre is the best
place in the world in which to live.
Mr.. and Mr.. Botz left again Friday
for a several days visit with friends
at Brownsville. ... '~.

KICKED IN FACE BY HORSE.

Joseph Layerman, the 13-year-old
son of Jos. Layerman of st. Joseph,
was brought to the city this morning
to have wounds dressed which were
sustained as the result of being
kicked in the face by horse, says
Fridays St. Cloud Journal-Press.
The boy was in the barn-yard near
the animal when he was struck by the
blow from the horse. The attending
physician said the lad suffered no
fractures but that his face was very
severely cut and needed number of
stitches to close the wounds.

COSTLY WRECK ON
NORTHERN PACIFIC
----<'.
TWO FREIGHT TRAINS IN A BAD
MIxUP NEAR sARTELL
SUNDAY NIGHT.
ONE engineer BADLY INJURED
TRAFFIC BADLY DISTURBED
MAIN LINE TRAINS PASS
THROUGH SAUK CENTRE

About midnight on Sunday an
eastbound Northern Pacific extra
freight train, engine No. 1917, loaded
with stock, crashed into the rear Of
an extra freight train, engine No..
1878, loaded with merchandise, while
the same was standing on the track
at Sartell about five miles north of
St. Cloud. C. E. Hilton of Mime
apolis, the engineer had one of his
feet badly bruised and scalded and
was sent to the hospital; Earl Davis
a brakeman was slightly injured;
engine No. 1917, Mogul type, was
totally wrecked; fourteen box cars
containing merchandise were des-
troyed by fire; the escape from death
of the engineer, brakeman and j.
Corbett, the fireman, was little short
of miraculous.
Engineer Hilton was pinned be-
meath the wreckage and it took forty
five minutes to rescue him from his
dangerous position and his leg and
foot were badly scalded by the escap-
ing steam. 1t was necessary to cut off
his shoe before he could be released.
Immediately after the collision the
cars took fir and the men worked
frantically to release the engineer in
the face of the approaching flames.
At one time it was thought that his
leg would have to be amputated in
order to release him from the wreck
age owing to the proximity of the
fire. -. e.. 4 =
The engineer of train No. i5fT,
states that as soon as he discovered q
train ahead he applied the brakes, but
they failed to respond and his engine
crashed into the caboose and plunged
through fourteen cars before it
turned turtle. It was fortunate that
there was no one in the cabeese for
they would have certainly met with
instantaneous death. car loaded
with coal was nearest the engine
when it turned over and it took fire
and burned fiercely; grain, salmon,
coal, cement, and beer formed the
cargo of the telescoped train.
The track was completely tied up
from midnight Sunday till five o'clock
P. M. Monday, wrecking train from
Staples and one from Minneapolis
coming up to clear the tracks. A fire
engine from the Twin Cities opened
up on the burning cars Monday
morning and it was several hours be-
fore the flames were extinguished.
The loss consisted of fourteen cars
and the engine; ten cars of wheat and
barley, one car canned salmon, one
car flax, one car of apples, and one
baled- hay. The estimate of the total
loss is from one hundred and seventy
five to two hundred thousand dol
lars.
Traffic was much deiayd by the ac-
cident, two trains were sent trough
this city over the Little Falls branch,
and nine passenger trains over the
"K" line striking the main line at
Wadena.
