The Enthusiasm Which Reigned
Among West Side Republicans.
1t was chilly evening. Outside
snow flake fell drearily earthward and
the gentle noise of its slow descent
mingled with the sound of the footsteps
of the policeman ION the beat" De-
spite these gloomy surroundings the
West side was alive Even a casual OBJ
server could see that something unus-
ual was going on, and when the mem-
bers of the Young Mems Republican
club Stalked into their hall in the
Thompson block the great strain was in
tenSified
Inside silence rent the air, save the
creaks of twelve chairs as the
members seated themselves thereon.
A q. Wedge was elected president,and
w. III. X. McMartin, secretary, while
the other ten cOntented themselves with
drawing straws to decide on applicants
for office under the next Republican ad-
manlStration. 1t was decided to appoint
each member a committee to hunt up
every Republican voter in the ward and
secure his name and address. The COM
mittee on constitution and by laws and
hall were given until next meeting TO
report. and the club was formally
dubbed the Sixth Ward Republican
club. The ten called wildly for speech
from the president

The cases against George Hess, Fred
Oelker, Richard Erdenberger and John
Redmapn, arrested by Inspector
Nugent for selling liquor without a
license, were called in the municipal
court yesterday. and set for a hearing
Feb. 13.
George Benz, the head of the whole
sale liquor firm, was arraigned, and
waived examination. He was held to
answer to the grand jury, furnishing
500 bail. Under a recent decision of
the supreme court wholesalers are not
required to take out license. the sale
of less than five gallons of whisky be-
ing defined as retailing. None of the
wholesale dealers in st. Paul have taken
out licenses. On Thursday Officer
Myers, in citizens clothing, called at
the store of George Benz q Sons and
purchased a pint of whisky, paying rs
cents, and on this evidence Mr.. Benz
will be prosecuted. The authorities are
vigorously enforcing the high license
law, and number of patrolmen in plain
clothing have been detailed under In
SpectOr Nugent to secure evidence. 1t
is understood that many more wholesale
dealers, from whom small quantities of
liquor have been purchased, will be ar
raigned tomorrow.

Shorthand as a Classic Study.

''As some of the leading college pro-
fessOrs are now discussing the use of
the classics in colleges, perhapsfit will
not be out of place to suggest substi-
tute equal in every way for the devel-
Opment of the mind. The principal
objection offered by those in favor of
the use of the classics being the fact
that the modern languages have not
been reduced to an exact science,
shorthand has been reduced to an ex-
act science, and in the words of one of
authors, There are laws by which these
sounds are related to each other, there
are customs or usageS as to their occur
renee in a particular Language and there
are relative values of the different
signs The mental training necessary
to impress this upon the mind so as not
be forgotten is more valuable to the
student than that of any other study.
The study of shorthand must necessa-
rily embOdy thorough drill in all the
elementary sounds of the language,
grammatical construction, the forma-
tion of sentences, phonetic spelling and
analysis, as well as a proper study OF
current literature. and an occasional
dip into English classics, to impress
common usage upon the mind of the
student. Shorthand, having been mas
tered, could be put into practical use
and would not have to be thrown
away as useless after leaving college.
Although the study of shorthand has
been much simplitied since Dickens
time, think we can still claim its COM
plete mastery to be equal to at least two
languages"

day: ''NOW is the time to pay your
personal taxes. Taxpayers may, per-
haps, thank us for reminding them of
the fact that personal taxes must be paid
before March l, after which date pen
atty of 10 per cent will be added. AS
the business naturally accumulates in
the county treaSurer'S office as the end
of the month draws near, taxpayers
will save time by not waiting till then,
when said Office is likely to be crowded
to its utmost capacity. We have seen
the taxpayers file extend as far as

have been waiting for hours for their
turn to hand their money in and get
their receipts"
