MEET.

The first annual interclass track meet
ever held at the New Ulm High School
will be pulled off this Thursday after
noon at the Fair Grounds, if the present
plans do not conflict with the weather.
Although track athletics are still in an
undeveloped state in the minds of the
New Ulm public, enough interest has
been aroused among the students them
selves 50 that the meet from the per-
formers point of view will be exciting
and close. If enough of the non
athletes can be persuaded to attend as
spectators, the event may yet become
one of the red-letter days in the annals
of the high school. - @. o.

MAYOR GIVES JOLT

HANDS THEM MESSAGE OF GOOD
CHEER AS THEY PAY LICENSE
MONEY.
MUST OBSERVE LAW STRICTLY
IF THEY DON'T WANT TO BE
CLOSED UP:

When the twenty-five saloonkeepers of
New Ulm were handed their licenses last
Friday afternoon, in return for the $500
per, they we're also handed a cordial
message from the Mayor, which re-
Elected very unpleasantly upon: the
manner in which saloons are said to have
been conducted during the past year.
In fact the violations of the Sunday
closing law and the II o'clock law seem
to have been very general, judging from
the wording Of the communication.
Several of the saloonkeepers do not
take kindly to the wording of the COM
munication, because it throws suspicion
upon all of them, because it takes them
all in and does not enumerate specific
instances. Those who are conducting
orderly and we'll regulated places are of
the opinion that those who have not
lived up to the law should not have been
granted license or at least should have
received some kind Of punishment when
the complaints were made.
The message to the saloonkeepers by
the Mayor follows:
To the Saloonkeepers of New Ulm:
'The undersigned has for some time
past been hearing so many complaints
in regard to conducting of saloons, that
he feels called upon to send out this COM
munication. It has been variously
claimed that some saloonkeepers have
openly violated that law in regard to
closing at II o'clock and on Sunday; also
that others have run their places in a
loose and suspicious manner and that
women have been admitted at the rear
doors of some, under such circumstances
as to be suspicious.
"You are thereby cautioned and d.
rected to run your place of business in
accordance with the state laws and
especially with reference to the II o'clock
and Sunday closing laws, the selling of
liquor to minors, spend-thrifts, habitual
drunkards and loafers, also to obey all
directions of the mayor in regard to
closing and to be careful with respect to

OUTRAGED MODESTY VOICES
PROTEST.

The sudden wave of concentrated
modesty which has visited the surround
ing landscape had a little side ripple
which made itself felt in chilly manner
around the naughty bare knees of the
high school track athletes last week.
The shameful spectacle of scantily clad
athletes daily going through their train
ing antics on the high school campus
brought upon itself the righteous wrath
of decent and moral citizenship. It is
expected that in the future such I'M
maidenly exhibition of unorthodox attire
will be frowned upon with the blacklist
of frowns. There is no reason why New
Ulm athletes should not train for track
clad in barrels, harem wells and pan
talettes as they are the world over. That
they should display their bare knees to
the vulgar gaze of the crowd is horror
beneath contempt. O tempora! o
mores! That such corrupt conditions
should prevail!
AS corol!ary' to the main proposition
it is argued that the old New England
Blue Laws may be revived and put in
force to make New Ulm social life
thoroughly antiseptic. Men will no
longer be allowed to kiss their wives on
Sunday; a low-necked dress will be
punishable by public crucifxion; and
the statue of Joan of Arc in the high
school building will be draped in deep
black to prevent pollution by the i'm
modest gaze of high school youngsters.

the high school hall of fame.
The Seniors are making strong efforts
to capture the meet by large margin
since they are counting on a majority
OF firsts. The meet, however, will be
decided more by the total number of
points brought in by winners of second,
third and fourth places, so that any one
of the other classes has a fine chance of
putting crimp into the championship
aspirations of the upper-classmen.
