Handing Ourselves a Compliment.

It is not often an editor hands
himself compliment.
But this is the exception, and that
is just what we are doing, because
| certain well known citizen of this
| community has and is persistently
recognizing the value of this paper
as reliable desseminator of local
news, and has paid US this compli-
ments in manner which speaks
volumes for his knowledge of the
good things of life.
He is not destitute of this worlds
goods, but he possesses the rare fac
ulty of holding onto that which he
gets, lest the pangs of poverty over
take him in his declining years.
He possesses a wide knowledge c"
local affairs, because he is a constant
reader Of this paper, and the know
| ledge extracted therefrom is turned
to good account in his own behalf.
If an important event is soon to
| occur, he knows of it in advance, be-
cause he has read of it in this paper.
If there be a bargain to be had
anywhere in the community he is
promptly apprised of the fact, be-
cause of that, too, he has read in
this paper.
And if an acquaintance is sick. or
death has over taken some member
of family, or the stork has paid a
visit to the home of some friend, he
IS among the first to extend his
| condolences or congratulations-b
cause of these, also, he has read the
paper.
He is man of wisdom-a pillar
Of strength-with a brain which alb
serbs to the utmost of the essence of
life.
Few things escape his notice, for
he is ever on the alert.
But the one thing which he never
oyerlooks is this paper, and therein
lies the compliment which we take
unto ourselves. It gives US feeling
that we are something more than a
mere worm in human shape, that we
may be even a whole cog in the
community wheel.
True, he is not subscriber to the
paper-his dollar never reaches this
office-but he reads the paper just
the same
For his neighbor is a subscriber
and pays in advance, and in his
generosity he lends the paper to the
pillar of strength"-by request.
But it may not always be so. In
time we have hopes that the pillar
will pay us the super-compliment OF
permitting US to add his own name
to our subscription ist-paid in ad-
vance, of course
| Time sometimes works wonders,
even in the newspaper field.
And we have hopes, strong hopes.
Henry Fricke, being a multi-mil-
| lionaire, has had to bear his share of
| criticism-that is one Of the penalties
of success. However, most people
will agree that much of this criticism
should be offset by generous common
| dalton for his act in providing Christ
mas cheer for some Al 900 Pittsburgh
/ school children who had lost their
savings in the Pittsburgh Bank of Saw
1ngs, which closed last week Although
having no interest whatever in the
defunct bank, Mr. Fricke assumed the
responsibility for the savings of the
children, which had been organized
through 8 school system. The amount
| $67,0 900, will be restored to these chill
dren in full. This act constitutes one
of the brightest chapters in the his
tory of the great steel magnate.

A PASSION WEEK MEDITATION
BY "OPTIMO"

BY ''OPTIMO"
A lonely figure in Gethsemane,
In revrent attitude on bended knee,
Poured out the anguish of troubled soul,
Implored the Father to remove the bowl
OF bitter WormWood He must drink to pay
The mortgage, Satan, in fateful day,
With subtle cunning and pernicious plan
Imposed upon the soul of finite man
A lonely figure groaning for the wrongs
That had been Wrot by needless, thot-
less throngs;
No cringing cowardice was His, nor thot
To shun redemptive sacrifice that bought
From Satans thralldom, sinful, erring man;
Nor yet to deviate from The Great Plan,
Wherefore the Son of God, inCarnate came,
A shield and refuge in the hour of shame.
Nay, twas not fear that bowed to earth
His head,
Nor wish to shirk His duty, but instead,
Twas the transgressions and immoral
dross
Of man, whose debt He paid on Calvarys
Cross.
Alone He trod the "winepress" and His
grief
Was such no earthly hand could bring re-
lief;
But strength divine was given in that hour,
That in the crisis He should have full pow
From out the dreary dark of night there
came
A Poltroon throng. swords drawn and lamps
aflame
To seek as for sCoundrel or knave,
The Man who came en- erring world to save.
His weary and distraught disciples slept
Thru murky gloom the Roman soldiers
Crept:
Hark! Hearest not the venom'd Serpents
AS traitor Judas with treaCherous Kiss,
For greed of gold or lust of power betrayed
The Christ of God who, fearless, undismay-
Fair faced His foes, nor sought His own
release:
Asked only that His friends might 60 in
peace.
Unto the court where coward Plate sat
They haled the Christ and in derision spat
Upon Him, and in moCkery desired
To know from whence He deemed Himself
inspired
To pose as king or potentate, or god?
And who was He, that came from alien sod,
To take upon Himself prerogative
Of teaching Jew or Gentle how to live?
They rendered Him no HOMAGE but, in
stead,
They preSt crown of thorns upon His
head;
And moCkingly. in scarlet clad His frame;
Mid SCOTS and ribald jeers proclaimed His
shame.
A heavy cross they added to His load
To bear along the drear Gogotha road
Upon yon skull-like hill they reared The
Cross;
Upon each side a unit of earths dross.
One, gross and hardened, still rebel, died:
The other unto Christ for mercy cried;
And He who spared not self this promise
gave,
Life after death, and peace beyond the
grave

MAYOR OF MANKATO DIES At
HOSPITAL.

August G. Meyer mayor of Mankato.
died Saturday following an operation
Wednesday for gall stones. He had
been in failing health for some months.
and his operation was delayed by an
attack of jaundice. He was one of Man.
kato's most prominent men, and was
serving his fourth term as mayor.

came to America in 1868, and to Mankato
in 1886 from near Owatonna, where he
had farmed. He engaged in the monu-
ment business and rapidly became
wealthy. e@
Mr.. Meyer was a Democrat until the
free silver issue of 1896, when he Joined
the Republican party. After serving as
alderman he has been mayor most of the
time since 1909. He was the first MAYOR
in Minnesota under a commission form
of government.

Templar, Odd Fellows, Modern Wood
men and A. O. u. w. His widow and
eight Of ten children survive him. The

OF those vitality interested and having
the laws of 1913 to go by the he would be
other than human if he accept the filing.
Whoever files, however, will have made
arrangements previously and will i'm
mediately bring mandamus proceedings
against the county auditor. The ques-
ton being one attacking the constitution
atty of state law, would no doubt Be
brought to the immediate attention of
the supreme court, of which august body
Judge Hallam who made the remark re-
ferred to in the opening paragraph of
this article is member. Whether or not
the other members of the supreme court
would hold in accord with Judge Hallam,
is, OF course, idle speculation.
Should the supreme court hold the 1918
law unconstitutional, there certainly
would be some scramble of candidates to
get into the game and the campaigns of
former years, when candidates. were
more or less cooked and dried long be-
fore election time, would be relegated to
the rear as mere circumstance.
Officials of Brown county who were
informed of the new phase of things as
to the length of their terms, did not seem
disturbed in the least and as they are
safely ensconsed in office for four years
unless somebody else gets hankering
tor their office they are letting the other
fellow do the worrying.

STATELY SUGGESTS
RURAL CLUB FAIRS
BEST EXHIBITS FOR LATER GEN.
TRIAL FAIR CAN THUS BE
SECURED.
BROWN AND REDWOOD DEF.
GATES MEET AT SPRING.
FIELD MARCH 81.

Farmers Club fairs are being suggested
as the result of a meeting Of The Stately
Club, held last Saturday evening and
it is possible that the movement will
be taken up by other the farmers
organizations throughout this and the
neighboring counties and farmers club
fair of large proportions arranged for.
The meeting of the Stately organization
was addressed by Senator L. E. Potter
and it was in his talk that the idea was
advanced.
The Stately Farmers Club has started
the ball rolling by calling a meeting of
representatives of the farmers clubs of
Brown and Redwood counties for March
81 at Springfield, as will be seen from
the following extract from a letter to the
Review by the secretary of the club:
Senator Potter suggested that each
Farmers Club in Brown and Redwood
counties unite in giving what may be
termed Farmers Club fair, to be held
at some centrally located point the latter
part of October; each Club to assemble
an exhibit of farm produce, consisting of
grains, vegetables, fruits, grasses, in
Guiding sewing, cooking, canning, etc.,
from which the. best specimens will be
selected for the purpose of exhibit at the
central fair. The Senator also suq-
gested the advisability that each club
pay small permium for the exhibit at
the local club fair, which would naturally
have tendency of creating active in
terest at the very outset, and then the
committee for the Central Fair would
make the necessary arrangements that
ample premiums would be paid for the
big event.
Following along the lines of the above
suggestions made by Senator Potter, it is
desired that each Farmers Club in the
two counties select delegate to meet at
Springfield on Friday, March 31st, 1916,
at o'clock P. NJ, in the banking room
OF the First National Bank, for the
purpose of making the preliminary ar
rangements- for the event. All clubs
desiring further information are re-
quested to correspond with Adolph
Schmid, Comfrey, Mimi, Secretary of
the Stately Farmers Club, or Senator l..

School last fall. -:
j. F. Armstrong reported that with the
exception of six, all the active members of
the Club had signed REIMBURSEMENT
giving up all their interest in the furniture
and equipment of the Club and that by
the next meeting the signatures of all the
active members would have been Sc
cured to the REIMBURSEMENT and that at
that time the committee would also
present the necessary amendments to the
bylaws which the REIMBURSEMENT would
make imperative. 49,.
Thru the President, the Committee on
Industries reported that the proposition
OF Mayer Bros. of Mankato to remove
their foundry to New Ulm if the citizens
here would subscribe $4,000 worth of
stock could not be carried out for the
simple reason that it was impossible to
interest enough people to subscribe to
that amount of stock. -.
The committee on forming an ad club
1or New Ulm was not ready to report and
was gwen time until next meeting to do so.
The committee on the municipal heat

OFFERED I BLOCK
PERFECTLY GOOD GRANDsTAND
WITH BLEACHERS AND FENCE
TO BE SOLD. :.
OTHER ACTIONS LIKELY TO BE
STARTED FOR DEBTS IN.
i
CURED IN 1914.

Property belonging to the New Ulm
Baseball Association will be sold by the
sheriff Saturday, March 18th to satisfy
a judgment granted w. H. Hubmer
during the last session of the district
court. ...... -
The judgment totals $73.75. and was
granted as the result of a suit by Mr..
Hubmer to- recover approximately $40
due him for the lodging of ball players
during the 1914 season. The season
turned out rather disastrously and
although part Of the debts We're iqui-
dated, the officers of the association did
not feel that they should be made the
goat for the entire amount. It is said
that other claims aggregating several
hundred dollars are still outstanding and
the creditors. are threatening to bring
suit against the Individual members of
the association if the several amounts are
not paid. -,
The sheriff has levied upon the proper
ty OF the association, including in the list
OF assets the wooden grandstand and
bleachers at the ball grounds and the
canvas which was used as fence.
1t is estimated that the grandstand
and bleachers alone are worth $3.50 to an
association which would establish ball
team in the city the coming year and
there is movement on foot by one OF
the minor ball clubs to purchase the
seating accommodations and secure a
lease upon the grounds. The canvas
represents an investment of several
hundred dollars more and will in all
probability bring enough at the sheriff
sale to satisfy the Judgment.
While business men are prone to
criticise the officials of the ball club for
not meeting their obligations the officials
defend their course in pointing out that
they were in no way the benefciaries of
the games played in this city during the
1914 season, but that in fact the business
men were the ones benefited and should
stand at least part if not all of the ex-
pense incurred.
Talk of organizing ball club for 1916
is again the topic of the fans and it is
possible that a concerted movement to
gain possession of the stands and other
paraphernalia will be made in the near
future to prevent it's removal from the
grounds and possibly from the city, :.

dry last year, is now unable to pay for

not see it's way clear to provide funds for

authority and agreed to serve in that
capacity, whenever needed, free Of charge
