with several of the ministers of the
city.
Rev. Y. Ross Paden, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, said:
Such an outrage should awaken
| every citizen to the duty of doing
his utmost TO make our city place
where men of brutal instincts and
| appetites feel lonesome, and which
, they avoid"
Rev. Max o. Stewart of the Ger
man Evangelical association: Much
iS said in regard to personal liberty
in this present age, but if liquor is
the cause of the abuse of the liberty
which belongs to others, especially
our noble mothers, wives and
daughters, so that they are not safe
in city such as ours, of which we
are so proud, it is time that we who
want this city to surpass heather
dom, rise up as one against that
which is the cause of such abuse of
liberty, especially the saloon"
Rev. Edward Constant, pastor of
the First Congregational church: 81
am amazed, panied and shocked at
what has occurred. Humanity is
outraged and shame is cast upon the
name of our city. Matters of this
vile nature are too frequent. We
should know no rest until the offend
er is brought to justice. The de-
fenseless must be protected. Crime
and vice must be driven out"
Rev. G. A. CahoOn CT ihe Centen-
ary Methodist Episcopal church:
1T seems to me an outrage upon
decency and burning disgrace to
our city. I am informed that the
man who committed the heinous
crime was under the influence of
liquor. This is no surprise to
thoughtful people. One wonders
what the peOvle who by their fran
chise permitted the saloons to con-
tinue their nefarious business in
Blue Earth county think of their
part in this business. Whose wife
or daughter is safe on the streets
of Mankato? Will our people never
awake to the fact that outraged
womanhood is too big a price to pay
for a few thousand dollars of Ii
cense money? And what shall we
say about depraved manhood that
lle SdtOOH creates AS lOllS DIS we
permit saloons in our midst We are
liable to any outrage in our city"
Rev. r. w. Hobbs of the First
Baptist church: "The dastardly at
tack on Tuesday night upon a re-
fined and Christian woman, was
made by man fired by liquor. Our
city is fast becoming a center for
diSreputaDle characters, and we
are reaping what some of our cit
izens sowed when they continued
MankatO as a wet town. We are
confident in this crises that our po-
lice department and mayor will put
forth every effort to apprehend the
offender, but their task will continue
to be a hard one as long as the
saloon,-the inspirational source of
so much lawlessness remains. Mean
while let every right minded citizen
plan to make MankatO a place safe
for our women
