AN HONEST MAN.

1t augurs we'll for Hammond's success
this fall when rock-ribbed Republican
newspapers like the St. Paul Pioneer
Press recognize his ability and do not
hesitate to speak out as they did in the
following editorial published recently:
The voters of the state will approve
the prudent action of Winfield S. Ham
mond, Democratic nominee for Cover
nor, in coming out strongly for the
adoption by the Legislature of the eff
fciency and economy program of the
commission appointed by Governor Eb-
erhart. 1t would have been perfectly
easy, and in accordance with party
politics, for Mr.. Hammond to depre-
cate the whole list of recommendations
of the commission, solely on the ground
that they were the offspring OF a Re
publican administration. But evidently
Mr.. Hammond does not pursue that
kind of tactics, and his liberality of
mind, as thus displayed, cannot but
commend him to the people, who are
far more interested in seeing the state
government put upon high plane Of
than in witnessing the personal
triumph of this or that politician

THE LAND QUESTION.

Many persons not friendly to the
administration have poohpoohed Presi-
dent Wilson's policy in the Mexican
situation, asserting that he has accom-
plished nothing and that on the contrary
he has complicated matters irretrievably.
1t is true that the mediators have accom-
plished nothing tangible as yet, but their
work has not been in vain. Huerta who
apparently had out-negotiated us is about
ready to resign and will do so during the
week according to press dispatches.
With him eliminated the situation will
be considerably clarified.
By the stand that Wilson has taken
in recognizing the right of Latin American
countries to act as mediators he has
modified the arrogance of the Monroe
Doctrine and has Modified the hatred of
the Latin American countries toward the
United States. He has brought murder
as a political expedient into disfavor
among the Latin American countries.
He has civilized Pancho Villa by giving
him moral support. But over and above
all things else President Wilson has, by
his proposals of reform in Mexican
affairs, concentrated the attention of the
world on the land question as the funda-
mental question of all political, economic
and social questions. The springing OF
that question probably marred the
mediation proceedings. But, neverthe-
less, the idea has gone to the world
stamped with Wilson's authority and it
will terminate and eventually bear fruit.
President Wilson remains master OF
the situation and has achieved triumph
moral and intellectual, without resource
to more force than was necessary. He
has given voice to the Mexican people
who heretofore could not be heard on
account of rival interests. He has
Jared loose the hold of few upon
land and government and has pointed
the way to peace in that distracted land.
His work is not only for peace, but fol
justice to the common man. Thru his
efforts democracy is once more vindicated
in it's essential principles.

corruption are SO universal as to threaten
the very structure of society. Universal
suffrage, which it was confidently sup
posed would inure to the benefit of the
poor. man, is SO skillfully manipulated as
to rivet his chains, and secure to the rich
man a predominance in politics he has
never enjoyed under restricted system.
Probably in no country in the world is the
influence of wealth more potent than in
this, and in no period of our history has it
been more powerful than now.

Since seeing the make-shift station at
St. Paul which that city has endured for
close onto year, we wonder that the St..
Paul business men had the nerve to
come on pilgrimage thru this part OF the
state soliciting business. The reception
presented by such a station to visitors
to the Sanity City is quite enuf to turn
ahe traffic to Minneapolis. Better set
your house in order, St. Paul, if you want
your country relatives to come avisiting

7ld station was disgrace but your
present front yard is slap in the face to
us when we call on your invitation.

WHY ENDURE IT?

New Ulm withstood another attack
of blood-thirsty savages recently when
an invading host of thousands upon
thousands of mosquitoes swarmed up
from the river and drove every one to
shelter. The invaders seemed particu-
larly we'll armed for the fray and more
than usually sagacious as well as hungry
and many persons who thought discretion
the better part of valor and sought
shelter upon the first appearance of the
enemy suffered quite as many wounds as
those who defied the invaders for the pests
sought out and discovered every tiniest
opening in screen doors or window and
made the night long torture to those
who had to fight them in the dark. Nor
did the tormentors give over their attack
until day daWned in the eastern sky and
weary defenders were allowed to fall
into sleep.

to these nightly raids upon his peace and

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1914-07-15

The struggle between labor and capital
becomes more bitter and strenuous and
the signs Of the times portend an ap-
rroae':; ing crisis. The efforts OF reformers
to transfer the struggle to the political
field has proved miserable failure.
Labor is beginning to learn the futility
OF the ballot, and more and more the
workers realize from experience that they
can expect nothing to their gain from
parliaments and politicians. Direct
action is, the dominant thought of labor
and while yet in formative and expert
mental stage, is rapidly supplanting the
hd methods with new tactics of agrees
Ive warfare.

HEALTH BOARD REPORTS.

Yesterday Health Officer Otto j.
Seifert received a copy Of the report Of
w. !. Greene on his clinical diagnosis
OF suspected cases Of typhoid in this city.
It appears therefore that five cases in all
were called to his attention. OF these
that Of Lorenz Postel only is diagnosed as
q typical case Of typhoid. The exact
source Of infection could not be deter
mined, but the report states that the city
water is eliminated as a source of in
lection. DR.. Green states positively
that the other cases examined by him are
not typhoid fever.
B. M. Mohler Of the State Board of
Health who inspected the public water
supply recently reports that he found
that the hypochlorite administering plant
was being operated in an unsatisfactory
manner, due largely to the fact that the
float valve had become corroded and
could not be used. These defects were
all remedied and if given the proper
attention this equipment, according to
Mr.. Mohler, should last until the new
cistern is ready for use.
Five samples Of water were taken by
Mr.. Mohler to be tested, from the taps
in the kitchen of Prof. j. E. Sperling's
residence, at 800 S. Washington St., 4O2
S. Minnesota St., COS N. State Street and
1O8 S. Front St. and were carefully
analysed. The samples show counts of
200, 4, q, 22O and bacteria per c. c. re-
spectively and B. coli was not found
present in l c c or 100 c. c. amounts.
These analyses show the absence o. ser:ou
contamination in this supply and that no
serious pollution was present at the time
of Mr.. Mohler's visit.
In addition to giving instructions for
running the hypochlorite plant, Mr..
Mohler recommends that upon the COM
pletion of the cistern that the sides and
bottom be thoroly scrubbed with strong
solution OF calcium hypochlorite in order
to disinfect the same before the clean
water is stored therein.
