Wednesday, Februaiy 10th, 1904.
The farmer who has had eggs and
butter to sell in the early part of the
winter and now has some good wheat
to put on the market has cause to feel
that he has been reasonably success
ful.
The ground hog refused to call the
bluff and it is now up to the weather
man to deal out six more weeks of the
•ample of artic weather we have recent
ly passed through. The ground hog
should be made to buy coal for a fur
nace.
For the first time in a number of
years there is to be a little life to the
eity election in New Ulm. The cam
paign may be said to be on in earnest,
and from all indications it is to be a
alean and gentlemanly one but will be
vigorous and earnest, especially so
far as the office of clerk is concerned.
The war scare has brought the price
of wheat up a dollar a bushel, and
still there are people who will hold
their wheat for fifty cents more. This
price is too hight to give the mills an
operating margin and many of them
in the state have been compelled to
close until the prices adiust them
selves.
The Jim Hill influence that appears
to be the accepted power behind the
Dunn campaign, seems to be working
a detriment to his cause. There is an
Hinder current which has recently set
in that bids fair to add material
•trength to the Collins forces. It is an
accepted condition that the fight has
narrowed down to these two candi
dates.
Prof. Frank L. McVey, head of the
department of Civics at the State Uni
versity, has gained some unenviable
notoriety by an article in the new
Encyclopedia Brittanica, in which he
claims Minneapolis the capital of
Minnesota, in connection with other
statements to which St. Paul people
take exception. They seem to think
that an instructor in civics should
know better, which probably is true.
One Mr. Wallace, has introduced a
bill in the New York legislature pro
viding that every person who is a legal
voter who resides within twenty miles
of a polling place and does not vote,
shall be fined not less than $5, nor
more than $10, and agents shall be
provided whose duty it shall be to see
that this law is enforced. These agents
shall receive part of the fine for their
commission, and as this remuneration
will depend on their vigilance, they
will probably let no guilty man escape.
Now, that's "not so worse."
Looking over the exchanges that
have come to our table the past week,
one of the noticeable things that has
appeared in many of them is that
reference made to the number of people
who leave horses out in the severe
eold while they are warmingthemselves
at the hotel or saloon fire. It has be
come a habit with outside people to
criticise New Ulm for many vices,
most all of which have been largely
magnified, but it cannot be charged
that dumb animals a reallowed to suf
fer. The care of horses in this city is
excellent and manv of the places which
consider themselves to be more right
eous would do well to pattern aft er it
in this respect, at least.
One is struck upon visiting the large
cities of the state by the number of
signs that are displayed advertising
discount sales and bankrupt stocks.

The papers also are full of the same
class of advertising. The inference is
that the past season has been a poor
one and that it is necessary to get rid
of the goods in order to meet the pay
ment of bills that have become due.
It has not been a good business year
from the fact that there has not been
enough money in the country. This
money has gone to the north and the
south in one instance for land and in
the other for cotton: with the rise in
the price of wheat much of the money
should return and the business that
has stagnated resume its normal con
dition.
Congressman Volstead gained his
first notoriety last week by his reply
to John Lind in a speech defending
the present tariff rates. His argument
is that the tariff is a protection to the
farmers and if it were removed the
benefit would accrue directly to the
mills to the detriment of the wheat
raisers, however this is no one can be
certain but it looks as though Lind
had the better side of the argument.
The tariff was placed on wheat in the
first place to make the farmers keep
quiet when the lumber tariff was put
where it is. The same interests thaf
are so zealous for the farmers are not
getting far away from the lumber
yards. These two tariffs are the most
pernicious agents operating against
the northwest. One handicaps the
milling interests without benefitting
anybody the other robs the farmers
and others to put money in the pock
ets of the lumber concerns that have
grown fat off of the cheap pine the
state has sold to them. Mr. Volstead
is true to his constituents. He was
elected to do just what he has done.
Mr. Lind has done just what his con
stituents expected of him. Probably
if the men could change places Vol
stead would be advocating reciprocity
and Lind tariff. They are each repre
senting a different class of interests,
but Mr. Volstead does not recognize
that the milling interests are as impor
tant as the farming interests of the
people of the state.
HER OWN WAY.
In a quiet home in one of the cities of
Pennsylvania therewas ahappyfamily,
consisting of two girls and two boys.
The parents were hard working people
and did all that they could to make
their children happy and contented.
The boys grew to manhood and were
respected by all their fellows, one of
the girls married and has a happy
home but the youngest girl was not
contented with her home life and found
her pleasure on the streets her mother
remonstrated with her but she said,
"I am of age and will do as I please."
Her evenings were spent outside of the
home circle, and she thought she was
having the very best time possible.
One morning her dead body was
found in the alley near the place where
she spent the night. Her lover was
arrested for the crime, but was not
held her brother was also arrested
and the disgrace of the affair drove
him to suicide. The mother is now on
trial for the crime and though there is
little reason to believe that she will be
convicted it will take all the earnings
of the past years of her life to pay the
expenses of the trial the family is
broken up, their happiness destroyed
and the last years of the life of the
aged couple brought down in sorrow to
the grave, and all because one girl
went wrong.
This circumstance has itsparallel in
every city in the United States. Not
all result so fatally but the scar of
disobedience is stamped deep into the
hearts of more parents than many
people suppose. They try to hide it
from the world, but it is there, and it
comes from the too frequent desire of
the young girls to find their pleasure
on the streets. The waywardness of a
boy is bad enough but the wayward
ness of a girl has no comparison in
the calendar of evil. There is much
in the injunction of the Decalogue:
"Honor thy father and thy mother."
It is safe to assume that a child who is
true to the duty he owes his parents
cannot go far wrong in the duty he
owes his fellow men.

Dunn's commercial report for the
month of January gives it the largest
number of failures and the greatest
losses of any January in the past three
years. The amount was not as great
as that of December but it does not fall
far short of it.
No special analysis or explanation
of the heavy losses is needed in view
of the facts shown at the close of 1903
in annual reviews of that year's events.
It was a period of readjustment and
retrenchment of return to normal con
ditions after a season of inflation of
industrial and financial excesses.
At the termination of such a year it
was to be expected that many concerns
would find the balance on the wrong
side of the ledger.
It does not necessarily mean that
the new year will continue to witness
abnormally heavy loses, although the
outlook cannot be considered bright
until there is a pronounced increase
in confidence.

IN THE FIELD TOR CLERK
Ed. Bobleter Makes His Forma
Announcement...
He -Is Now a Candidate or
City Clerkship.
the
Indications Tha Campaign Will
be Brisk But Clean. ,~
Formal announcement of bis candi
dacy for the office of city clerk has
been made by Ed. J. Bobleter. In
this column the popular young insur
ance man outlines his platform and
unequivocally pledges himself to per
form the duties of the office as he finds
them. His declaration is both digni
fied and business-like and it is appar
ent that he will try for election strictly
on his merits.
Since Mr. Bobleter was first brought
out as a possible candidate for theclerk
ship he has received a great deal of
encouragement and many citizens have
volunteered their support. He recog
nizes the fact that the campaign will
J. BOBLETER.
be brisk but purposes making it clean
in all respects and will use only hon
orable means to gain his end.
In his open letter to the voters Mr.
Bobleter calls attention to the fact
that he possesses a diploma .from a
business college and is therefore capa
ble of conducting the office to which he
aspires. His business experience also
warrants him in making the statement
that he can handle its affairs with effi
ciency and there can be no doubt but
that he is eligible on these grounds.
He urges other reasons equally as
good, and says:
After having canvassed the situ
ation relative to the office of City clerk,
I have decided to become a candidate
for the election to that office, and I
hereby make formal announcement to
that effect.
My action in the matter is based
upon the fact that I have been led to
believe from the advice of friends,
that a change is desired, and more
particularly from the fact that I con
sider myself fully qualified to actln
that capacity, having been graduated
from a reputable commercial college
and having had experience as an ac
countant and bookkeeper in practical
business.
Having been born and raised in this
city, there are few voters who do not
know me personally and it is unneces
sary to state that I have no interests
outside of the city to serve. My under
standing of the duties of the city clerk
are that he is the servant of the council,
elected to do the clerical work of the
council, having no voice in the munici
pal affairs other than that of clerk as
it pertains directly to the duties of
that office and, should it be my fortune
to be elected to the office, the citizens
will find me punctual in every detail.
Mv'canvas is not made against any
faction or candidate in the interest of
any other faction, but purely on my
own recognizance, feeling that my
friends will be pleased to give me their
support, knowing me as they do.
Sincerely yours,
ED. J. BOBLETER.

The cricis between Japan and Russia
seems to have been reached and hostili
ties begun. It is asadcommentary upon
the civilization of the age and the
vaunted Christianity of the Russian
government, that the heathenism of
war must prevail in the adjustment of
a difficulty that had so poor a founda
tion in fact. The sympathy of the
people of this country lies with Japan
and the hope of the nation is that she
is the David which is to strike terror
to this Philistine host. The Russian
Czar has offered to his God prayers
for the success of his armies the Japs

SAVED MONEY FOR THEM
Mutual Fire Insurance Company Makes
Good Showing.
Andrew J. Eckstein of this city, who
is a director of the Secuirty Mutual
Fire Insurance company of Chatfield,
has received a copy of the annual
statement of the company. The secre
tary's report shows that during the
past year the company has made a net
gain of insurance in force amounting
to $502,492.00 and of premiums amount
ing to $8,725.09. At the close of busi
ness on December 31st there were in
force 2,978 policies amounting to
$2,792,370.00 with premiums of $50,
595.55. The company paid fire losses
last year amounting to $24,367.01. The
saving made to the members of the
company amounted to $4,416.97.
The Security Mutual has now been
in the field for nearly six years, has
maintained a steady growth and there
is no company doing business in the
state that has any better record for
the prompt adjustment and payment
of its fire losses or the fair and honest
treatment of its members. The fact
that its efforts are beginning to be ap
preciated is shown by the large in
crease in business during the past
year.
Since organization the company has
paid in losses $87,557.87 and has made
a net saving to its members on the cost
of their insurance of $15,699.26. The
financial statement given elsewhere
shows that the company has cash as
sets on hand of $12,479.82 with liabili
ties of only $1,687.10 leaving them a
net surplus in cash assets of $10,792.72.
It is the intention of the company
during the coming yea** to still further
increase the business and special ef
forts will be made in the sections of
the state that have not been thorough
lv worked heretofore.
