ONE DELEGATE AT MEET

A.. A. Juliar, who represented the
Evangelical Sunday school of st.
Clair at the state Sunday school con.
vention at Duluth made his report
to the Sunday school Sunday. He
said that of the 1000 delegates there
from all over the state that he was
the only representative of this coun-
ty. The meetings of the convention
were held in the Swedish Mission
church at Duluth, which was beauti-
fully decorated. A choir of 100 voices
furnished beautiful music, led by
Lincoln Hall. Adams Geibel blind
man. was accompaEist The program
of the convention was a very IN
structiye one. The St Clair Sunday
school is very grateful to Mr.. Juliar
for leaving his business and giving
his time to attend the convention
and feels that no better representa-
tive could have been chosen. The
state convention in 1914 will be held
in Winona and Mr.. Juliar hopes that
Blue Earth county will be represent
ed by more than one person.

FARE REGISTERS IN CARS

The Mankato Electric Traction
company is at work re-painting five
of its cars. The color is an olive
green striped with aluminium bronze.
Electric-lighted destination signs will
be installed on the hood above the
vestibules on cars five, six and seven,
so they can be more readily seen at
night.
After the company is through re-
painting the five cars, they will have
installed the Dinner fare register,
which is one of the latest and most
up-to-date, and is used in many of
the larger cities. These registers
will eliminate the necessity of MAX
ing out trip envelopes and trip
sheets. and thus save a lot of book
work for the conductors
1t is the intention of the manage
ment to operate as much as possible
the best equipment it has here, u.s.
ing the older cars only at such
times as Is necessary when the bet
ter equipment is being repaired and
kept in order.

MESSAGE 70 CONGRESS.

President Woodrow Wilson is mo-
VERBOSE. That much, at least, cal
be said to his everlasting credit. His
message to the extraordinary session
of congress, which he delivered to
day to that body, occupies less thar
column and half of the Free

impress upon the democratic repre-
sentatives that they must enact q
| tariff law in line with the platform
adopted by the party's national con
vention at Baltimore and upon which
Mr. Wilson and his fellows we're car
ried into office.
The president has not given vent
to radical utterances in his short
and well worded message On the
contrary he is conservative and adj
vises congress to be cautious. He
recognizes the bald fact that ii
would be unwise ito move headlong,
with reckless haste or with strokes
that cut at the very roots of what
has grown up among us by long pro-
cess" The president speaks of de-
velopment, not revolution. and yet he
advocates a tariff policy that may
tend to revolutionize and perhaps de-
stroy, in large measure, the in
dustrial growth of the United States.
Such policy has proved disastrous
in the past. 1t may do SO again.
The tariff bill that meets with the
approval of the president has been
introduced to congress. Its schedules
are made known to the public. The
articles placed on the free list are
now a subject for discussion. AS
was to be expected there is great
clamor in the districts effected
for return of these articles to
the dutiable list The larger part of
the clamor is the output of demo-
Gratis. Their corns have been step
ped on. They are hurt, and they
propose to let the president and a
congress of their own making know
that the heel of free tradism, when
applied TO their own particular baili-
wicks, does not meet with their ap-
prevail

The democratic congress will find
that making a tariff bill is not the
most pleasant duty to perform. Every
section wants its own industries pro-
tected against the invasion of the
foreign products, and the representa-.
tive in the national law-making body
is expected to see to it that these
industries are protected President
Wilson is in favor of placing certain
farm products on the free list. Con.
gresham w. s. Hammond of this
district is expected to keep those
products off the free list, and If he
should fail to do so, he might as
well pick out the shortest route to
the "tall and uncut He never
could expect to be again elected to
congress. If the democrats succeed
in framing tariff bill that will sat-
isfy all sections OF the country they

"Mr. Lindbergh, no doubt, justifies

Nearly half of the students were born

"A recent inquiry ELECTED the infor.
nation that sixty-one per cent of the
students lacked the means to attend a
university outside the city. Thus the
university is providing higher educa-
ton to residents of the municipality
who could secure it in no other way.
Something like twenty-five per cent
of the students are fatherless. OF the
fathers of the others, less than one
fourth are in the so-called profes,
sions. Over thrce-fourths are in non.
professional, commercial, or mechan.
ical pursuits.

followed gainful occupations before
coming TO college, and seventy-four

these that the University OF Cincin-
