That moderu tendency to iconoclasm,
which has already destroyed the story of
William Tell and the apple, and has vui-
CARRIED 30 many touching and pathetic
legends Of our childhood's days, IL dis
posed TO lay violent hands on Whittier's
heroine Barbara Frictchie, and TO ques-

upon which the poem IL founded, but tho
very existence OF such person as Bar

scribe a historian, and that II would have
been entirely legitimate for Whittier TO

Last June The Chronicle contained let
ter in reference 10 the matter, and por-
trait OF the genuine Barbara F'rietchie
but the author OF that letter was skeptical
on the subject Of the ilug incident, for the
reason that the old woman lived two or
three blocks away from the main street OF
Frederick, and out of the direct line Of
march Of Jackson's army. Our corre-
spunileut at that time gave some incidents
In the life Of Barbara Frietchie, which
showed that the waving of an American
flag IN the faces Of Stonewall jackson
and his troops might well have been ex-
pected from her, and that the only ap-
parent difficulty was her not residing on
the main street of Frederick.
But now comes Judge Jordan of Indian.

For political shreWdneSs and political
luck give us Gov. Merriam. With moth
ing to win from the Democrats and
everything to gain by prOpltiaJing dis
gruntled Republicans. he boldly waded
into the food of Democratic rage and
vetoed the charter. He will be hated
more souhdly than ever before by Dem
Ocrats. but he made himself so solid
with the Republican bosses that he can
afford to draw upon himself little more
partisan dislike than already was Youch-
safed him.-The North.
Gov Merriam threw off the mask
when he vetoed the Minneapolis city
charter. In doing so he got down lower
than the band of disappointed pOlitl-
clans VINO waited on him and urged him
to veto it. Some of these men were
candidates for legislative as we'll as
other local political offices last fall. but
were defeated. and yet they had the
audacity to 90 to st. Paul and claim
they represented the people. Gov. Mer-
riam vetoed the charter bill for political
reasons, and he will yet regret the partl-
san course he took. He did not follow
the line of his duty IN refusing TO APP
prove of that bill be forgot for the time
being the duty ne owed the people OF
Minneapolis, and turned his attention

DANGEROUS USE OF STRONG

Most pills. purgatiyes and Bitter

the mucous lining of the stomach
and bowels. Indeed their cathar-

irritation which they produce.
Their action should be soothing
and stimulating instead Of irritat-

Slowly but surely the interurban cleo
trio cars have been undermining the
passenger traffic OF the short line roads.
The number OF passengers carried by
the short line trains has fallen off over
so per cent since the interurban cars
were started. The Milwaukee has been
the greatest sufferer. The interurban
line enters into more direct competition
with that lire than with the Great
Northern. as both the Milwaukee and
the Interurban reach Merriam Park and
the more Ihlckly settled portions of the
Midway district. The Great Northern
still has the traffic to and frOmSt. Anthony

1t is understood that for some time
the Milwaukee has contemplated a re-
duction of the fare to % cents or so
cents for round trip between the
cities. and the putting on of
twice as many trains, or rather to
have the present trains run half hourly
instead of hourly. BY a reduction of
the running time to twenty minutes.
which can be done with the powerful
engines that have been purchased dur

would have doubtless greatly increased
the popularity of the short line. and
would have Won back much of its for

was knocked in the head by the agree

has not felt the competition of the cleo

ready to c0ncede to the demands of the
public: so the day of cheap fares and

OF the number of trains will doubtless
prove very unsatisfactory, and will
