The rebate system is the off-spring
of competition.
The rebate system consists in col
I‘ai.ii'Z from all shippers exactly the

r ' to all
> o make the scheme work the rebate
t be kept a close secret.
! tie rebate system, if the railroads
private corporations engaged in man
i turing and selling a commodity call
transportation, is entirely justified by
• recognized principles of trade.
f. on the other hand, a railroad com
] .y is a public corporation, owning and
< ating a public highway and perform
i a public service, as the highest courts
1 e held, such a system is entirely un
i -tided by principles of trade or law,
• lity or good morals.
No manufacturing or mercantile busi
es- is safe while the reabte sytein en
ures.
The interstate commerce law that all
shall be reasonable and just, en
,,’e only by the courts, is of little
..cal value.
’he rebate system is not a ‘•square
ci il.” A square deal is a square deal
jest as much for the rich man as for
the poor man. but no more.
If the law is so amended on the basis
of a square deal the arbitration com
mission must be given authority to de
< ide as to the reasonableness of rates
between the railways and the railway,
as well as between the railway and the
people; must have authority to raise
rates which are unreasonably low as
well as to lower rates that are too
high. In no other way can symmetrical
and just rates be obtained which shall
give to every locality and every indus
try its dues.
President Stickney differs from most
railroad heads. Lie is not fearful of
government supervision of railroad rates,
but rather encourages plans which would
be the means to that end. He does not
agree wholly with President Roosevelt
but offers several good suggestions which
might be considered. Mr. Stickney fav
ors the appointment of a board of arbi
trators whose duty it would be to raise
and lower rates as the exigencies of the
case demanded.
Good Roads and Game Laws.
The Sauk Center Herald calls atten
tion to the fact that the farmers and
wage earners constitute eighty per cent
of the population of the country, but
they constitute only three per cent of
ihe legislators. This is the real reason
that live times as much public monei
is -■ ent for the presrvation of gam<
'ml fish laws than is spent for good
the farmers and wage-earners were t<
• tan organization as compact as tha’
h has succeeded in getting throng!
t ■ legislature laws which are intended
t preserve the game, but which in thei
r eration work an injustice upon tin
j eople at large, something could be done
o advance the causes of good roads
" ’• e farmers and the wage-earners have
t icinselves to blame for the lack oi
. ention on the part of the legislature
1 vard measures which, if they were
i le into laws, would result in good
i Is. The people have allowed the fev
t dictate to the legislature as to wha
idd be done regarding the enactment
r mnecessary and unjust game laws,
c the question of good roads has tc
a arge extent, been lost sight of. It
i up to the people to organize and de
rmd of their servants that less of the
ate’s money be expended on trivial
intters and more on the essentials.
Here is another view of the good
>ads question, and it is founded on
cd philosophy. The Northfield News
e “Good roads cost money, but bad
r . cost a great deal more. This is a
f. that seems to have escaped the
r. i. ice of the people who are standing
tl < expense of poor roads.”
In this state we have a game and
fish commission that is costing the peo
ple thousands of dollars annually for
its maintenance. Game wardens are paid
annually to move about here and there
for the purpose of protecting game.
Their expenses are paid out of the mon
ey contributed by the people to keep
the machinery of government moving.
And notwithstanding this gigantic ex
penditure, but comparatively few peo
pie are greatly benefited. But a small
proportion of the state’s population is
permitted by their circumstances to reap
the reward offered by these game laws
which have been drafted more in the
interest of the city sportsmen’s chibs,
but the farmers and the wage-earners
are compelled to pay the bills incurred
under their operation. Were a portion
of this money to be devoted to im
proving the highways the farmers would
receive something of a substantial char
acter in exchange for the taxes they
pay into the coffers of the state each
year. The farmers ought to be able
to see the advantages to be gained by
organizing a good roads movement and
moving on the legislature for results.
On With the Debates.
The Beaver Creek Banner wants a
joint debate arranged between Governor
La Follette of Wisconsin and Congress
man McCleary, in case the former
should come into this district to lend aid
to Editor Miller, who is talked of as a
candidate for the republican nomination
against the present incumbent. The
Banner says there is nothing the people
like better than to hear two able men
debate a question of great public in
terest. Certainly a debate between the
two gentlemen would excite great pub
lic interest.
In this connection it might be stated
that Governor I-a Follette and Mr. Mill
er are personal friends, having known
each other for a term of years. This
and the reason that Governor La Foll
ette is not an ardent standpatter, and.
too, he feels that the people in the sec
ond district could be enlightened some
what regarding the method' pursued by
nachine politicians, impelled him to
offer his services to Mr. Miller, in the
event that the Luverne man made an
other try for the congressional nomina
tion.
Governor l-i Follette is a forceful
speaker, quick in debate and he would
be able to hold his own with the pres
ent representative from this district
I'he people would welcome the debates.
We say let the discussions proceed.
Republican Principles.
Congressman McCleary informed The
Vernon Center News that there will be
i daily newspaper established in Man
kato that will have the “true republican
ring.” Then it is Mr. McCleary who
sets up the standard of republicanism
which he would have all others follow.
Mr. McCleary is quoted as saying
hat “the principles of the republican
aarty aTe being subverted by The Free
Press to the interests of a few dis
Xruntled politicians, leaving this part of
the state in danger of being led astrac
by its morphodite utterances.” The
Free Press is not aware that there arc
iny disgruntled politicians, but it is cog
lizant of the stern fact that there are
•housands of republicans in the second
•ongressional district who cannot stand
for Mr. McCleary’s standpattisin am
lis opposition to reciprocity. So far a-
I'he Free Press is concerned, it reiterates
Its position—of having long since sub
cribe 1 to the republicanism of Presi
lent Theodore Roosevelt who is a firn

hat a change in schedules can be mad<

tistrial interests of the country. Tha

Mankato & St. Peter Railway
& Lighting Co. Favored.
Council Holds Special Meeting
and Forwards Franchise.
Privileges of Both Companies
to Expire Feb. 12, 1906.
Then One Making Best Show*
ing Will Get Extension.
From Saturday’s Daily,
A special meeting of the council was
held last evening, at the request of the
Mankato and St. Peter Railway and
lighting company, whose franchise would
have expired tomorrow. The company,
paid the expense of the meeting, and
it was called late yesterday afternoon
by Vice President Atchison, in the ab
sence of Mayor Taylor.
Aid. Atchison presided, and all the
aidermen were present. Fred Kron, M.
L. Hixon, W. G. lloerr and IL E. Hance
were present, representing the com
pany. Mr. Kron spoke first and present
ed an ordinance extending the time for
the company to have five miles of road
in operation until Nov. 1, 1906. He said
that the company had gone into the
matter in good faith, had had the money
promised, and had expected to push the
enterprise, but it had been handicapped
by the presence in the field of the other
company. It had offered to give the
Willard company stock for the expense
.vhich it had byen to, but the proposition
had not been accepted. His company
wanted the same show as the Willard
otnpany. It still has the money in
sight if the other company were out of
the way. The eastern end is all right,
but the company could not make good
it this end, the Willard company having
he subscriptions.
It appeared from the discussion that
he company did not want to forfeit
its bond, and wanted to have the same
'how as the Willard company as regards
time for building the line.
Aid Heinze suggested that an exten
sion be given until May Ist, but the
ither aidermen thought that the exten
sion should only be until Feb. 12th,
vhich is the time that the franchise of
he Willard company will expire. Then,
he company that is able to make the
best showing will be given an exten
sion, and the franchise of the other will
be repealed. The aidermen do not want
o collect either bond now up, but will
.equire a larger bond when the exten
sion is given, and the company getting
it must fish or cut bait. All agreed to
his.
The council passed the ordinance un
ler suspension of the rules.
It provides that the franchise be
unended so that on or before Feb. 12th,
1906, the company must have laid and
n active operation with sufficient cars
tot less than five miles of railway and
i power house.
There was no other business taken up,
md the session did not last more than
lalf an hour.

CLAPP SEES SUCCESS AHEAD
Is Sure That There Will Be a Rate
Bill Passed.
Washington, 1). C., Oct. 28. —Speaking
of railroad rate legislation and the pros
pects of a bill getting through the sen-
ate. this coming session, Senator Clapp
said:
“1 regard it as certain that there will
be a bill put through and I do not share
the opinion of some that there will be
a long and bitter fight over it, either
1 am of opinion that there is a very big
preponderance of sentiment in the sen
ate favorable to President Roosevelt’s
policy of extending the power to ad
just rates to an administrative body,
and that of course, means the interstate
commerce commission. It is quite prob
able that the committee will make two
or three reports, and that there will be
several bills introduced by members of
that committee, but I expect to see the
administration bill passed.
“The people are with Roosevelt on
this question, and he will have pretty
nearly solid democratic support in both
senate and house. It seems to me that
opposition will be poor policy. If the
bill enacted does not work all right, why
it can be amended, but the people are
in earnest on the question, and it be
hooves congress to give the country leg
islation as demanded.”
BAN ON THIRD TERM.
President Roosevelt Says He Is Serv
ing His Last One.
Washington, Oct. 28. —Members of the
president’s party have returned from
Memphis, where they left the executive
Wednesday evening. The homeward jour
ney was uneventful. Before parting
from the party the president gave a
farewell dinner in the Signet.
He expressed himself as immensely
pleased with his reception throughout
the south and said it would be the last
he would make during his administra
tion. Some one suggested that he
would probably make a number of
journeys during his “next term.”
"There will not be any ‘next term for
me’, he said. I am now serving my
last.”
“But suppose you’re nominated any
way !”
“I will not be nominated,” he ex
claimed.
As the farewells were given one of
the party expressed the hope that the
president would not be seasick on the
homeward voyage.
“Will you tell me,” he said, “when
I’ve ever been on a ship and not been
seasick. But Mr. Loeb will be just
as bad off as I. When I see him at his
worst, no matter how sick I am my
self, 1 shall offer him some pork, beans
and sauerkraut.”
SPEAKS OUT AGAINST'AMEN.’
Rev. Hanson Creates a Sensation in
lowa Baptist Convention.
Sioux City, Oct. 28, —Nothing short of
a sensation was created at the Baptist
state convention at Ottumwa this week
when Rev. Howland Hanson suddenly
paused in the midst of an address and
fairly shouted at a brother minister in
the audience, who had enthusiastically
given vent to a fervant “Amen.”
“Will you kindly cease saying that?
I am not used to it, and do not like it.”
Rev. Mr. Hanson, who occupies a lead
ing pulpit in Des Moines, was one of
the leaders at the convention. He had
been assigned to one of the best posi
tions on the program, and was given the
subject: “How to Get An Audience.”
In the course of llis address he said:
“I cannot emphasize too strongly my
disapproval of the old custom of some of
our brethren of making remarks during
the progress of a sermon, such as ‘Yes,
Lord!’ and ‘Amen!’ It is the product
of emotionalism, rather than reason, is
usually interjected at the most inoppor
tune moment, is calculated to disgust
the thinking hearer, and is utterly non
sensical, viewed from any standpoint.
Religion should appeal to the reason of
man, instead of seeking to sweep him
along on a wave of emotion.”
He paused for a moment, and it was
here that the unfortunate brother gave
vent to his feelings by shouting “Amen!”
The freezing response of the speaker
completely squelched him.
Charles E. Churchill.
From Friday's Daily.
C. F. Thomas received word this
morning of the death of his uncle,
Charles E. Churchill at the Soldiers’
Home at Minnehaha and has gone there
to accompany the remains to Stockton,
his old home for burial. Charles Church
ill was well known by most of the old
settlers at Stockton, Lewiston, Minne
sota City and Winona, having come
here in 1856 with his father Jabez
Churchill and his brother-in-law the late
Albert Thomas, the families following
the following spring.
Mr. Churchill enlisted with his broth
er, the late William Churchill in the
First Minnesota, but was taken sick
at Fort Snelling and after recovering
from a protracted and serious case of
typhoid fever was sent west to Fort
Ridgley and joined General Sibley’s
troops, who went on a chase to the
Missouri river to capture Little Crow
and his hostile band of Indians, after
the massacre at Fort Ridgley, and New
LTm, thirty-eight of whom were hanged
at Mankato. —Winona Republican und

After an eloquent ami appealing in
dorsement bv former Governor \an
Sant of Minnesota, a platform strongly
upholding President Roosevelt’s scheme
for freight rate revision was adopted by
the “regular” interstate commerce law
convention at Steinway hall. Chicago,
yesterday.
The platform congratulates the peo
ple of the United States upon having
such a president as Roosevelt, com
mends the representatives in congress
on the support given him in the matter
of securing rate legislation, ami rec
ommends that the interstate commerce
law shall be so amended that:
“The interstate commerce commis
sion should be vested with the power,
where a given rate has been challenged,
and after full hearing found to be un
reasonable, to decide, subject to judi
cial review, what shall be a reasonable
rate to take its place; the ruling of
the commission to take effect immedi
ately and obtain unless and until it is
reversed bv the court of review.”
Governor Van Sant, in his speech,
said:
“These resolutions are terse and to
the point that we stand upon them as
our platform. They will be indorsed
by the whole country. I am from the
north star state and here I shake hands
with a man from the lone star state.
There are men from Florida, from dif
ferent states of the north and south,
ancient enemies of civil war days, and
they can unite on this platform. It is
broad enough for the whole country.”
“The dearest things we possess in
life are those which we fight for the
hardest.. A railroad passenger agent
told me that the transportation com
panies intended to organize the busi
ness men in every voting precinct in
the country to fight against this rate
legislation and oppose the election of
every candidate who will not agree in
advance to vote against President Roose
velt’s policy. I said we would accept
the challenge and buckle on our armor.
The fight is on and we must fight hard
to win. Victory will be ours.”

CARD FROM MR. TOWNE.
Game Warden Gives His Side of the
Claude Osgood Case.
From Thursday’s Dally.
To the Editor of The Free Press: In
answer to the unjust ami malicious
criticisms of the various papers in re
gard to the Claude Osgood case of Lake
Crystal, I would state that there was
very little truth in any statement that
I saw and what little did escape the
eagle eye of the editor and steal its
way into the article was so juggled that
it was hardly recognizable.
The facts are as follows: I had been
notified several times by as many as
three different men, who by the way,
are men of veracity, and whose reputa
tions are as good as any in the state,
that this man Osgood, and he is a man
of twenty-one years and not. a boy of
fifteen as the papers stated, had been
for several years and still was selling
game of different kinds —ducks and quail
especially. 1 was at Loon Lake about
the first of October ami was told that
the day before he and his brother had
killed and skinned on the bank of the
lake twenty muskrats. This is illegal.
He was warned to stop or he would be
prosecuted and not to continue the kill
ing of rats as the paper stated, which
is a lie of the first water which must
have originated in the congested brain of
the editor who first wrote up the case.
i 1 was at Loon lake again on the loth
of October, and in the company of a
man of the best, reputation, saw' this
man Osgood sitting on the bank of the
lake with one duck that he said he
wanted to sell, that he wanted 50 cents
for it ami that lie was shooting for
the market ami sold his game. I Ixnight
the duck from him and paid 50 cents
for it.
I might possibly have had someone
else buy the duck and thereby gotten
somebody else implicated in the case, but
as I am paid a salary by the state to
do this work and I will say here, that
I do not get any part of any fine paid
by any violator, as the papers said, but
all such fines go to the county.” I
thought it best not to mix anybody else
up in the case. There are several other
things that I might say in this article
which would be of interest to the public
but which probably would better Ih>
left unsaid.
As to the game law, which every fair
minded person knows to be a just and
good law, will be enforced to the letter,
irrespective of who the violator may be,
and I think it the duty of every good
citizen to help enforce this law and
thereby preserve our game.
NOT BE ANOTHER ARREST.
No New Development in the Gebhard
Murder Mystery.
From Thursday’s Daily
Traveling salesmen and others who
have recently visited New Ulm, say
that the little city is again excited over
the prospects of an arrest in connection
with the murder of Dr. Louis Gebhard
last November.
Friends of Dr. George R. Koch, who
was tried three times and at last found
not guilty, have been employing expert
detectives from the east and since the
last trial they have been working stead
ily. Entirely new clues are said to have
been found and some of these point
strongly to the guilt of a certain resi
dent of New Ulin. The detectives have
refused to give out any definite infor
mation, but they do not deny that the
case is progressing.
Dr. Koch, who now has his office In
the Medical block, says he has not been
notified of the developments in the case,
but that his friends are still working.
The work is left entirely in their hands
and he did not show any surprise when
told that there were many rumors con
cerning another arrest. He said he would
probably be notified shortly if any Im
portant steps were to be taken. —Min-
neapolis Journal.
Brown county authorities state that
there is nothing to the above story;
that no further search is being made
for the murderer of Dr. Gebhard ami
that there is no clew which they could
work upon. No detectives are employed
on the case at the present time, either
by the county or private individuals.

From Friday's Daily.
For several years past, farmers of

from the culture of sugar beets, and
when the factory at St. Louis Park
