the TACT tnaJ Sarl r. Urlcn, VINO
formerly lived intake Crystal, had
moved to this city with the inten-
ton OF establishing q factory>rfor
the manufacture of some OF his
many inventions. The beauty of Mr..
Ulrich's inventions are that they
sell. Mr.. Veigel said that he thought
/ that 1t would be well to look into
! locating a factory here for the manu-
facture OF his inventions.
Mayor On Law Enforcement.
| Z Mayor w. A. Beach was next call
] ed upon to speak on the question Of
law enforcement. The mayor said
| that the police of this city are en-
forcing the law to the best of their
ability in this city, which the rec
| ords of the department will show.
Some OF the requisites of law en-.
forcement is the healthy creation Of
/ public sentiment toward law en-
| forcement, judges who will not be
carried away by their own personal
feelings, and above all good com
petent chief Of police. which the
/ mayor stated Mankato has at the
present time There are too many
people who harp on the fact that
| they know OF liquor violations, but
| when they are called upon to aid
wrongdoers. they hold up their
! hands in horror and refuse to do
so. The mayor with a contingent
fund OF only $3.50 at his disposal
cannot get far in the matter OF IL
quor law enforcement. Mayor Beach
! suggested that law be/enacted by
| the members Of the state legisla
! ture which would provide for the
| setting aside ol one fourth of the
fines resulting ftom liquor violations
for lighting this form OF lawless-
ness in the cities and one fourth Of
| the fines collected in the district
court as contingent fund for the
county attorney to fight liquor vio-
! Iations throughout the county. This
with healthy sentiment among the
people to do their duty along those
lines the mayor thought would bring
good results. ,
Representative A. L. Veigel said
| that some time previous to his cleo
ton he had taken a physical exam,
alton fof insurance. He was told
! that he was suffering from low blood
pressure. and It was recommended
! that l. get into some more exciting
business. That is why he has taken
up politics. He wants TO improve his
| health. Just recently he was con :
graduated while IN the twin cities
for bis part in nominating w. /.
! Nolan as speaker . of the house.
When he reached home he was told
| by an irate voter that he was not
| elected to get into that Nolan bunch.
In conclusion the speaker said
that he favored good roads legisla-.
ton, but with the normous land
mortgages now on record and high
| .axes prevailing That large appro-
| priations should be guarded against.
The speaker is heartily in favor OF
| hard surfacing road No. 5 from the
twin cities to Mankato and on
| through to the Iowa line.
Remarkably w. A. Just.
Senator elect W. A. Just in his
address before the meeting said
that he is going to stick to his
| former ideas, for the advancement
of public schools throughout the
state. The speaker said that "if we
are TO achieve anything worth while
In this state or nation unless prop
erty and money is used to enhance
with our neighbors. The only way
to bring that about is to bring more
| education to the people on the high
1 ways and byways. That is why
this winter Mr.. JUST said. he will
| favor rural education in every way.
| Speaking of parochial schools, the
speaker said that he wished to be
set Alright on the question. IL want
to state my position right here on
| the parochial school. A part Of my
limited education was obtained
! q,
| loyalty to my country and fairness
| to my fellow man there, as is com.
monty now taught in public schools.
| And IL the parents obey the laws
| of the state with reference to their
! public school system, abstain from
asking state aid for such parochial
school while still paying their just
taxes to the district where l send
my children: Then my conscience
| tells me 1t is as much their right
to send them there during their first
eight grades. as great many or US
| do to send our boys and girls, to
| UNCONVENTIONAL schools after that
| period. II ] want my child educated
alonT religious tines, as st. Olaf,
Gustavus Adolphus. Hamline Par
ker, Cacalaster, st. Thomas and a
great many others teach. I want

a child and not as an adult"
J Mr.. Just expressed himself as be.
ing opposed to so many boards
and commissions-and is against
the passage of laws which tell
people MOTTO do certain things
and he will be willing to father the
repeal of hundreds of measures be-
fore he would place any more on
the statute books. He stated that
Elle would .oppose a state constabu-
llary-but' would be open to conyic-
| ton. He expressed the belief that
he was persona non grata with
wonlen's clubs, but at that he would
be glad to assist the women at any
time it was possible for him to do
| SO. ...-.
| Later on in the meeting Senator
Sust was asked by Professor ]. r.
] Brandrup II he favored state sup.
port OF parochiaf schools, and Sem
ator Just said that he did not. He
wanted to state also that he was
not in favor or return TO capital
| punishment In this state for the
crime OF murder
l. Following this announcement Dr.
J. w. Andrews stated that ne
thought that 1t was very important
that the death penalty should be re-
stored IN this state and asked that
: the vote be taken on the matter in
