City Election
Held Today
ONLY ONE TICKET; NO EXCITE
MENT AS OFFICERS OF
CITY ARE ELECTED.

Redwood Falls is very quietly hold
ing it's annual election of city officers
today although the number OF people
who visited the polls up to twelve o.
clock would hardly indicate the fact.
This lack of interest is not due to anv
lack of interest in civic affairs but Is
accounted for by the fact that there
is only one ticket in the field and,
with no flight on some of the citi-
zens have not deemed it necessary to
cast their ballots.
w. M. Smith is again candidate for
mayor after having given the city
splendid service as its chief official
for the past two years. Councllmen
John Knudson and G. c. Little are re
tiring after their terms of service an'
the new names appearing on the bal
lot are DR.. Fl. j. Henze in the first
ward and C. A. Hillig in the second.
E. w. Currier succeeds H. c. Rutter
as recorder and G.. A. Patton is again
a candidate for treasurer.

Paxton Club Meets.

The Paxton Township Farmers Club
met for its annual all-day meeting at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Den
nistoun Friday, December 81. The at
tendance was very large, about a
hundred thirty-five club members be-
ing present. A picnic dinner including
a vast number of good things was
served at twelve o'clock and following
this the business meeting and program
were given. The address of the day
was made by N. w. Cobleigh, presi-
dent of the Redwood County Farm Bu-
reau, who gave most interesting talk
on the work and aims of the farmers
organization. Mr.. Cobleigh's talk was
followed by several recitations and
musical numbers. The officers elected
for the ensuing year are E. W. Ramey,
president; E. C. Streeter, vice-presi-
dent, Mrs. Geo. Nafsinger, Treasurer
and Mrs. ]. ]. Pittinger, Secretary.
The day was one of great social en-
joyment, the spirit of friendliness and
neighborliness which was shown be-
ing big factor in the good time which
every one had. While the attendance
was very large the capacious Dennis
toun home was able to comfortably
house all the guests and the hospitali-
ty for which Mr.. and Mrs. Dennlstoun
are well known did much to add to the
keen pleasure of their guests. This
is one of the largest and most active
of the Redwood County Farmers Clubs.

Detective Loose
Here January II
CHICAGO DETECTIVE TO GIVE
FOURTH NUMBER OF
LECTURE COURSE.

The fourth, and, possibly the most
popular, of all the numbers of the
present lecture course will be given at
the armory Wednesday evening, Janu-
ary II. The speaker of the evening
is Harry j. Loose, member of the
Chicago detective force who speaks on
the Cause, Practice and Prevention OF
Crime. Mr.. Loose's lecture is one
which will interest the young and old
of both sexes and many residents .of
the community who are not regular
attendants at the lecture course num-
bers have intimated their intention of
hearing Mr.. Loose.
Detective Loose has made hundreds
of arrests and successful prosecutions
in the Municipal, State and Federal
Courts. He has several times been
confined in hospitals recuperating
from injuries received in the discharge
of his duties.
He was appointed to the State
Police in 1901, leaving to join the
famous Pinkerton detective forces. He
resigned this position in 1906 to be-
come a police officer for the city of
Chicago. He was then assigned to
detective work and later detailed to
the Juvenile Protective Association of
Hull House, at the head of which is
Jane Adams. While there he made
intensive Investigations for corrective
legislation and arrests in the heavy
criminal prosecution brought by that
institution. r..
Mr. Loose was later assigned to the
Chicago Council Crime Committee and
placed in charge of the Investigations
made by that body into the cause OF
crime. He collected and produced the
evidence for them proving the exist
ence of the System in crime, show
ing that it was just as highly organic
ed and systematized as any legitimate
business.
Mr.. Loose has made many investiga-
tions in the city of Chicago of the con-
ditions among children in the slum dis
tricts, of conditions in the amusement
parks, public dance halls, and on the
bathing beaches. He has handled
special work in the Court of Domestic
Relations and submitted vital reports
to the United States Government on
vice conditions among boys and girls.
He shows the principal dangers con-
fronting young men and women when
they come to the city to make their
way, and the fundamental principles
to be employed in keeping the boys
and girls in the smaller towns at home
and away from criminal tendencies.
At the close of his lecture Mr.. Loose
answers for a limited time any ques-
tions his hearers care to ask. He also
exhibits at this time remarkable dis
play of tools of crime which he has
captured during his work as detec-
tive, being assisted by uniformed
policeman. :.

Will Issue Auto
Tags at Mankato
A. j. VEIGEL, KATO, NAMED AS
STATE REGISTRAR FOR
SOUTHERN MINNESOTA.

A. j. Veigel, vice president of the
>,,ational Bank of Commerce at Man
kato, has been appointed by Secretary
of State Mike Holm as registrar for
Southern Minnesota for the depart
ment of motor vehicle registration.
Mr.. Veigel will have supply of motor
vehicle license tags and all necessary
blanks ready for those who wish to
take out their new licenses on January
3. One of the lobby rooms of the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce will be set
aside for the taking of applications for
motor vehicle licenses, and competent
help will always be on duty to aid
those making application in their
work. The headquarters established
at Mankato is the second one outside
the state capitol, one other having
been located at Winona.
Southwest State Registration.
Mr.. Veigel stated today that the
Mankato branch registration office is
not alone for Mankato and Blue
Earth county but for the whole south
western section of the state. 1t will
be necessary to bring along last
years appliation blanks, for these
will have to be attached to this years
application. In case the old appll-
cation blanks are not to be found,
the applicant will have to make affi-
davit to the fact that he made appli-
cation for license last year. Then
the Mankato branch will have to send
this affidavit to St. Paul to be check
ed up with the records at the state
capitol, which will entail great deal
of delay For this reason, Mr.. Vel
gel said that wherever possible the
applicant should not fail to bring
along his last years application
blank.
1t was further explained by Mr..
Veigel that upon the proper applica-
tion the owner of the car at once
receives his new license tax without
the necessity of making long trip
to the twin cities.
Work of Senator Widell.
Senator Gust Widell was instru-
mental in having Mankato designated
as one of the branch registration
headquarters in this state. This
work on the part of Senator Widell
for the accommodation of the people of
Blue Earth county and the south
western part of the state will be
certainly greatly appreciated. The
choice of Mr.. Veigel is certainly a
good one, and will undoubtedly give
entire satisfaction.
A charge of 25 cents will be made
for the filing of each application, in
addition to the regular motor vehicle
license fee the latter to be turned over
to the state.

January 1. Mr.. johnson has through
out his ownership of the paper, given
Belview and vicinity very exception
al paper when the size of the village
and of his territory is considered. He
will be missed both by the people of
his community and by his fellow edi-
tors throughout the County. Mr..
Johnson's plans are not yet complete
will probably call for the removal of
himself and his family from Belview.
The new owner has had much expert
ence in the newspaper field and will
undoubtedly continue to issue the In
dependent in accordance with Mr..
Johnson's high standards.

The administration theory of ac-
ton in the Debs case, according to
Mr. Daugherty, is to be considered as
the government policy in relation to
others imprisoned for violation of the

probably no better case could be
selected" he declared, than that Of
Debs.
"Regarding this class of socalled
political prisoners as they are term

release" Mr. Daugherty said, "there
is no real reason why they should be
treated any different than any other
persons who violate the law, aside
from the fact that many of them, as
we'll as their friends and associates on
the outside, actually believe, and are
sincere in their belief that they have
violated no just law and were strictly
