FOR SUNDAY PAPERS.
The Ground on Which Rev. Powers
Will Enter the Lists.

Rev. l.. q. Powers. of the Third Uni
Versalist church, is preparing to take I'D
the gauntlet on behalf Of the Sunday
papers, and in SO doing issue a challenge
to the orthodox clergy who are now OPP
posing that popular and necessary in
stitution. He has been gathering vari-
Gus statistics in relation to the Sunday
papers and their relation with week day
publications and will be prepared to
make Sundry interesting comparisons.
His challenge will be a friendly one and
will contain this proposition; He pro-
poses to have canvass made, first, of q
locality of well-tO-do people, and then
of locality distinctively the opposite
and learn the exact proportion that the
readers of Sunday papers bear
to the church-going population. He
is confident he can prove that in pro-
portion as they attend church, people
read the Sunday papers, or that the sup
port of the Sunday papers is drawn
from those classes morally very high.
Then he proposes to show that i'll pro-
portion as families contribute to church
funds, SO do they read Sunday papers.
He says, for example, that the Uniteri-
ans, UniversalistS and Congregational
lists contribute more largely than any
denominations. These three are punched
together and pay about $2S per year per
family for church purposes. This year.
he thinks, the Universalists will reach
$50, and lead the others, while the next
lowest-lower than the three-will not
exceed $50, and he believes the Univer-
salists all read Sunday papers. His az
gument will tend to show that religious
work, religious contribution, church 60
ing and Sunday newspaper reading
walk hand in hand. AS Rev. Powers is
a profound thinker, subtle reasoner and
eloquent eXpounder, this sermon will
be of general interest.

WHY WE GROW GREAT.
A Large Emigration Next Spring
Causes That Bring 1t About.

IA
causes That Bring 1t About.
A short visit to some of the immigra-
ton agencies reveals the fact that
nearly twice as many of our foreign citi-
Zens have returned to the old country
this fall as returned last fall. This fact
has greater bearing upon the immi-
grafton of next year than one at the first
glance might imagine. These returning
parties come from all parts of the North
west, but more especially from Dakota
and Minnesota. What does this indi-
cate? Simply that the Immigration
next spring will be larger than ever be-
fore. AT one of the agencies it was as
certained that 1929 tickets had been sold
during the month of November alone,
principally to Scandlnavians. Fully
Is per cent of them will return in the
spring and will bring back with them on
ter and more prosperous people that
make these visits. ''We do great deal
of advertising," said the agent, 'but
these fall excursions SurpaSs anything
we can do in that line" The reason
that they induce so many to return with
them is that their relatives and friends
see the success which they have made
in this country, and wishing to better
their own condition they are easily per-
suaded to come. Then the companies
present those who secure a party of
eight or ten return ticket each. The
rates are very low-about S55 for the
sea voyage, and at present $40
from seaport towns to Minneapolis,
but this rate will soon be raised.
The way that most of them secure pas
sage is by what is known as the pre-
paid ticket" That is where parties
living here pay for tickets which the
agencies send to their friends in the Old
country. One agency claims to have
sold 1000 of these during the past year.
This same agency has sold 10000 acres
of farming land to immigrants during
the year In 1O0-acre and S0-acre tracts
and in smaller pieces. That a great
many of them have been very success
full is shown by the large amount of
money which they send home. 1t is
quite common for returning parties to
take 81, 900 and $500 bills of exchange,
but the most of them take much
smaller bills ranging all the way
from S15 to $500. During the year
they are continually sending remit
tances all the way from SIS to 500.
One thing is quite noticeable and that
is that the class of immigrants is grow
ing better. Formerly they used to come
without any money, but now almost all
of them have quite an amount to start
with. The most of the agencies are

he had made thorough Investigation of
the sewers when the trouble arose. ana
had found that there was nothing
wrong with the sewer. He had been
engaged in sewer work for many years,
and he thought the Minneapolis sewers
were constructed as they should be.
Cracks would occur in spite of all that
could be done had been his experience.
"HOw does this work compare with
other sewers you have SEEM"
1T is as good as any have ever seen,
and l can see no reason to find fault
( with it."
John O'Brien, on being called, said
he had gone into the sewer to point"
/ up the stone work. He had not touched
the brick work to make any repairs, as
has been alleged.
Mr.. Cappelan, of the engineers de-
partmeut, stated that he had made a
test of the strain on the arch of the
! sewer, and had found it perfectly salts
factory.
Mr.. Sherburn took the witness stand.
and denied that any damaged cement
had ever been used in the sewer work.
Every barrel was always tested before
it was accepted. Once damaged
barrel was accepted by mistake, but on
hhoiHS OuI blC GIutu IL WOO plOhPtiy
rejected and thrown out.
1 Mr.. Van DuZee was called, as man
who had been engaged in sewer work
ever since the flood. He knew of no
serious defects in the Minneapolis
sewer system, he said, and he did not
believe that anyone else knew OF any.
On referring to the cave-in, he said it
was due to the fact that the material
was all green. and the bursting of a
water pipe softened one side of the
arch and let it down.
Aid. Staff stated that he had heard
James Lynch, the foreman of the work,
state that the work was done in first
class shape, and that there was no bet
ter work anywhere. The break was
caused by the bursting of the water
main. Mr.. Sherburn, was recalled, and
stated that the cracks in the tunnel
were caused by slight spreading of
the sides or the settling of the whole
sewer. The cracks could do no posi-
BILE harm, he thought, but, on the con-
trary, strengthened the sewer.
This ended the testimony, and the
committee adjourned until Wednesday
afternoon next at2 O'Clock.

Additional city News on the Fourth Page.
THE SALARY QUESTION.

If current reports are true, the ill
coming council has made up its mind to
cut and slash city salaries right and
left, under the mistaken idea of s're-
form: 1t is just possible. that. in
rush of zeal to the head, the council
may make serious mistake in tins
matter. Certain cranks have begun
fierce crusade against the salaries, and
the result has been the creation OF
public sentiment for retrenchment, that
has taken no definite shape. The
council should go slowly. There may
be city salaries that can safely be re-
duced, but there arc others that should
not be lowered, and Il saving in which
would be purchased at an eXorbitant
figure. 1t is reported, for instance,
that the salary of comptroller is TO be
cut to Sl,S00. This is Jolly, pure
and simple. 1t requires an eX-
pert boolkeeper to fill this diff
cult and responsible position, and
the council will commit serious
error of it takes this step. The city
trial balances go as high as SS,0O0,0Oo,
and there are three distinct sets OF
books TO be kept. To fix this salary
at figure lower than Il private corpora
ton would pay, would be blundcr that
would make council Il laughing stock.
The city attorney should not be reduced.
Because good man might take the
Office for less is no argument. Double
the salary may be saved the city i'll one
suit, and The assertion is venturcd that
Seagrave Smith has saved his salary
ten times over. The people Will hold
up the hands of the council i'll a general
retrenchment policy, but not in the line
of reducing salaries such as these. The
city clerk may we'll be reduced. Under
the present system he is supposed to
clear $4,000, which is too large. The fec
system should be abolished. and rea-
sonable salary agreed upon. The
Sealer OF weights and measures should
also be placed on salary basis. Lcgls-
lation to this end should be secured at
once. and in this respect the council
may set Il shining example for the leglS-
lature to follow for the county offices.
Minneapolis is great city, and While
there is no occasion for the payment OF
enormous salaries, it cannot afford TO
adopt the policy of a village. There are
certainly enough business men Of ca
pacity and breadth of view in the conn-
Gil to avoid the Scylla Of large salaries
and fees Oh the one side, and the
Charybdis of village pay on the other.

NEW HEALTH PLANS.

The radical changes in the plan OF
the health department., as proposed ny
Health Officer Kilyington and already
printed in the GLOBE, will probably
come I'D tonight before the caucus of
the new council, and it is understood
the committee will report the plans fav-

assistance of an active board OF health
of more than usual intelligence, has
done much for the health department. III
broadening and deepening its founda-
ton. He has met the active opposition
of the present council for the one rea-
son, apparently, that he did not make
political machine of the board. His aid
has always come from the Republican
contingent, and the GLOBE believes he
is right in the expectation that he
will receive more liberalminded sup
port and encouragement from the new
council. About all that he has been
able to accomplish, thus far. has been
to elevate the position OF his department
and impress upon. the public mind
that the health Of the city must never
become a secondary consideration. This
he had succeeded in doing TO large ex-
tent, and now the way is open for re-
pair work and reducing the sanitary al
fairs of the city to q system. The cd
ucation has begun. and we are ready
for results. The proposed changes are
radical, but they are common sense and
practical. Heretofore the department
has supported number of useless and
incompetent men at an expense that i'll
other directions would have accomp-
]shed much. This system, and the
law under which the quarantine hospi-
tai was operated, will disappear, under
the proposed new scheme and the en-
tire administration of the health depart
ment will pass, and at saving of $1,000
too, into competent andpractical hands.
As stated it is believed the new council
will favor the change. and it Is hoped
this belief viii become certainty.

HIS FATHER, YES.
But a Brutal One, Not Fit for the
DUTY,

DUTY.
William Rockenbrandt, the Diamond
mill sawyer, charged with beating his
seven-y ear-old son, was arraigned in
the police court yesterday morning.
The little boy, Willie, took the stand,
trembling and pale, and all the time he
was on, cast frightened chances at his
father. The little fellow, who is not
larger than good-siZed baby, was too
badly frightened to speak. His ten
year-old sister was the next witness.
She said that she had seen her father
whip the boy with big strap he wore
around his waist.
''Why WON'T the boy talk?" asked
Judge Mahoney of Mrs. johnson, the
boys grandmother.
He is afraid of his father, afraid he
will get another whipping" was the
reply.
did you whip him, Mr.. Rocken-
brandt?" asked the judge.
Yes, did," was the surly response:
II whipped him Sunday morning, and
then On Tuesday morning."
what did you whip him with?"
"With this strap" replied the father,
showing heavy, thick strap, Which he
wore around his waist.
At this point the father, the step
mother and the grandmother began
wordy war which was checked by Judge
Mahoney, who exclaimed: Nov all of
you keep quiet. l don't want you to
hold jawing match here"
The boys grandmother here removed
a portion of the boys clothes and
showed the court dozen OF more hor-
rible bruises on the lads back.
The father hung his head when he
asked if he had put all the marks there.
II can't say,' replied he, ''for the
boy has been fighting with some other
boys and got some of the marks there. L
guess. l have only whipped him when
he needed whipping. He is bad
boy"
mo doubt the boy is bad" remarked
his honor, ''but your government of
him is much worse. and if there was
any good evidence here to show that
you had made all those marks | would
give you heavy fine, one you would
not soon forget. AS the case is l can
not find out much about it.'
The boy was given into the custody
of his grandmother, and the father was
cautioned not to interfere with him i'll
any way, shape or manner.

LOBDELL is DEAD
1t Was Certainly a Fall---Inquest
This Morning.

Robert Lobdell, the brakeman who
received fatal injuries on Wednesday.
near the corner Of Washington and
Seventh avenue south, died about
4:30 O'Clock last evening. During the
afternoon it became evident that his
death was matter of only few hours,
and he was removed to his home, corner
Sixth avenue south and Sixth street.
An inquest will be held this morning
and all question of the cause of his in
jury set at rest. Mrs. Allen, the colored
woman, is still in custody, but will
probably be released after the inquest.
Not only is there no testimony that
would show her to have been respon-
sible, but it is the general belief that
she is innocent. Lobdell's friends be-

WILL TEST THE LAW.
A Building Ordinance Case---
Police Court Notes,

There was something of a sensation
In the police court yesterday morning
when S. E. Olson, the Nicollet avenue
dry goods merchant, was brought in on
a warrant sworn out by Building In
spector Bauman, charging him with
violating the building ordinance by not
having the elevatorin his store arranged
properly. He was found guilty and
fined SIS or thirty days. He asked for
and obtained a stay of thirty days.
o. Erickson was arranged in the
police court yesterday morning on a
charge of leaving his horse unhitched.
The case against him was dismissed
after the evidence was heard.
George Baker, arrested on charge of
buggy stealing, and supposed to be one
of the gang which has been doing SO
much 'work'' of late, was arraigned in
the police court yesterday: and held to
the grand jury under $500 bonds, which
he failed to furnish. Baker acted in
sullen, Indifferent manner. and refused
to say anything in regard to the case.

MEN OF MINNEAPOLIS.

It is confidently asserted by all who
have been accorded the pleasure of
basking in the sunshine of his favor
and regard that Eugene G. Hay will be
one of the shining lights of the next
legislature. Hay is an attorney. but he
has been in Minneapolis too short a
time for his forensic ability to have at
tracted any remarkable attention. 1t is
in politics that he shines. a year ago
he was unknown except to the select
few who went with the argonautS to
Washington to bring back the Repub-
lican convention. He was almost the
Jason of that famous expedition. He
fitted from coach TO coach, and was UNI
firing in his efforts to secure the com
fort and relieve the wants of every one.
If a fourth hand was wanted to COM
plete game of whist, he was the man.
Did some one desire information of the
course of procedure when Washington
was reached. he furnished it. Whose
fevered brow of the sufferer after
night spent over the perpleXing mathe-
NAUTICAL attempt to make two twOS
beat threeS? When the argonauts re-
turned home, Col. Hay launched into
the maddening whirl of politics with
all the ardor of the Indiana man. He
accomplished much, for himself and for
his party. And now for the reward.
He would like to be district attorney.
and it was thought fortune had cleared
the troubles and strewn rose leaves
over the path to that high Office, but l
fear the thought was a delusion. From
good authority comes the statement
that another has the grip on the Sphinx
at Indianapolis. An application has
already gone in, and affixed to it is the
illegible but forciful signature of Cush-
man X. Davis. Hay should have this
position, other things being equal.
Give Hay the district attorneyship and
install Timeo E. Byrnes i'll the stamp
window of the postoffice and even
handed justice will slip the bandage
firmly over her eyes and he content.

That Tickling

In your throat arises from catarrh, and as
catarrh is q constitutional disease the ordi-
nary cough medicines all fail to hit the spot.
What you need is constitutional remedy
like Hoods Sarsaparila, which, by building
up the general health, and expelling the
scrofulous faint which is the cause of ca
tarrh and consumption, has restored to per-
feet health many persons on whom these
diseases seem to have g firm hold. Many IN
solicited testimonials prove beyond question
that Hoods Sarsaparilla does positively cure
catarrh.
For several years had been troubled with
a catarrhal affection in my throat, and had
tried several kinds of medicine, but could
find nothing to help me. My wife wanted
me to try Hoods Sarsaparilla and I must say
i was very much benefited by using it, and
