THE FREE PRESS COMPANY HAS
PURCHASED THE DAILY REVIEW
Notable Newspaper Merger Contaminated In Mankato
History of Publications That Have Performed
Great Service In This Community

customers of The Review will be able to have
their previous work duplicated by the Free Press
company at any time in the future.
The sale of The Review to the Free Press COM
pany is one of the most important newspaper deals
ever brought to a head in the northwest. 1t not
only involves a large sum of money but it brings to-
gether two of the oldest newspapers in Minnesota,
both ofsawhich are widely and favorably known.
The Weekly Review was founded May 5, 1868, by
the. late John c. Wise and z. C. Payne. Not long
afterward Mr.. Wise purchased his partners inter-
est and conducted the paper alone. The PAPER
was issued in a frame building which stood on the
site of the present building which has long been
the home of the publication. This brick structure
was erected in 1875 by Mr.. Wise. The Daily Re-
view began it's useful career September 26, 1892,
and was edited by Mr.. Wise until his death, Mo-
vember II. 1900. Mr.. Wise was a native of Ha--
gerstown, Md. He entered q printing office when
a youth and before he was of age he published
The Clearspring Whig, supporting General Scott for
the presidency in 1852. In his early manhood Mr..
Wise was a iourneyman. or tourist printer, and
he was employed "at the case" in newspapers pub
lished in Washington, New York, Indianapolis and
other large cities. 4
Mr.. WISE CAM 70 MANkATo IN 1883.
In 1856 Mr.. Wise went to Old Superior where in
company with Warren Ashton he published The
Superior Chronicle. In 1853 ne sold that newspa-
per and came to Mankato. He was here but a
short time when he conceived the plan of starting
"a paper. Returning east he Purchased the equipment
necessary and on July s.. 1859. he began the pub
LEGATION of The Mankato Record. This paper he sold
to Orville Brown The Record was consolidated with
The Union and from this merger The Free Press
was born with the late General James II. Baker as
editor and manager.

With its issue this evening The Daily Review sus-
ponds publication and is merged with The Man.
kato Daily Free Fress. Though it retires from
newspaperdom, the great good The Review has done
in this community will not be soon forgotten. The
paper has had a long and successful career. 1t has
welded a widespread influence for the highest
ideals and has contributed it's every effort to build
ing up this city and Southern Minnesota.
This is a day of newspaper mergers. 1t has been
discovered that one daily can successfully and sat
isfactorily serve communities the size of Mankato
and much larger. These consultations have proved
beneficial to cities in the end. Advertisers have
found them to be of a distinct advantage and sub
scribers have profted therefrom. Every item of
labor and material that goes into the production of
a newspaper has increased in price. and this phase
of the situation has had its influence in eliminating
newspapers from an overburdened field. 1t has
been demonstrated to the entire satisfaction of all
concerned that one newspaper by eliminating du-
plication of effort can more successfully serve a
community than two e .t>
In addition to these reasons, the sale of The
Review to The Free Press company has been
brought about partly because of the continued ill.
health of John c. Vice, JE., and the fact that his
brother. Charles E. Wise, is unable to devote any of
his time to the business. The sale was c~onsummat-
ed late yesterday after negotiations covering a few
weeks. ~ nT Z
TRANSFER OF ENTIRE PROPERTY.
The transfer is of the entire property. including

GOOD ENGLISH
It's Value in Law Described by Judge

It's Value in Law Described by Judge
w. L. ,comstock,
The value of good English in law
was the subject Judge w. L. Com
stock spoke on at the normal school
yesterday morning to the pupils OF
the normal and high school.
Mr.. Comstcck said "the law re-
quires that it's language has certainty,
directness and force. The language
of the courts shall be the language
of our country-English. Just as past
ages and people are judged by their
written works. SO we shall be judged
in the future by our literature. In
order that future generations may re-
gard our age as great, we must be
careful in u approval of present
day literature.
THE constitution is the truthful
expression of the rights of man. Test
the clearness, b%riefness and the
t~ruthfulness of the Declaration of In
dependence and the constitution. Law
requires clearness OF language in or
der that it may be understood by all
parties involved"
