In a Feb 5 1908 New Ulm Review editorial the Thaw verdict is dissected, arguing the insanity plea was used to avoid a harsher fate. The piece asserts Thaw's sanity at the time, questions the judge’s stance, and imagines a better outcome for Thaw and his wife while noting broader legal versus moral justice.
A mosaic of humorous exchanges and witticisms. A traveling man asks a farmer for water instead of digging a well. A red-haired boy and a stammering man share comic miscommunications. Anecdotes feature William Travers, Voltaire, and an actor's Hamlet anecdote. A Poultry Show is advertised for New Ulm, Minnesota, February 10 to 13 with 10 cent admission.
A New York Times reader offers a fresh portrayal of Governor Johnson, arguing the drawing captures his features honestly. The piece declares Johnson is not profound or an orator, yet notes his solid public service and credit for shared achievements, contrasting with famous presidents’ limits.
The piece lauds Minnesota Governor Johnson as a persuasive, quick, amiable speaker with strong handling of patronage. It argues his practicality in absorbing others' ideas, his effective audience presence, and his steady, dependable office conduct, presenting him as a strong political contender in the current era.
Fred Williamson a halfbreed is jailed in St Peter on a charge of assault after stabbing his companion Howard Cowles in a Courtland saloon brawl. The wound, near the heart, was slight but pierced with hostile intent. Cowles may not testify tomorrow as cases often settle privately. Also notes visits by Mat Eichten in Stillwater and Geo Rosenau's return to Ambrose. Emma Goldman to lecture in New Ulm in March in English and German.
A satirical editorial targets William Bryan as a candidate. It mocks his brevity and honesty, accuses him of lacking political craft, and imagines him as “Secretary of War” turned “Secretary of Peace.” The piece condemns his alleged unseriousness, public debt, and naive ideals while praising blunt, forceful language in politics. It closes by noting the president’s message lands directly with strong, clear intent.
