PRESERVE PUBLIC HEALTH.

Representative R. l.. Penny has intro
duced bill in the house providing for
the appointment Of q bread inspector in
Minneapoiis. This is one Of the best
measures yet introduced by representa-
tive Penny, and he has introduced a
number Of very important measures
since Jan 6. It is very important that
We have good, clean, wholesome bread
on our tables. Even though Hour is
sometimes Of an inferior quality,
providing il is clean, nc one will con-
tract any disease from using it. LII our
rush to glory and wealth we too often
forget tie most essential items IN the
government and case of our health. We
do not stop 10 consider where the differ
ent articles of diet, that daily adorn our
tables, come from, and how they are
cnrea and preserved. We never find
time to ask the name Of the baker who
made the bread, unless perhaps we run
ACROSS dead fly or a piece OF toothplck
in it. Then we pay our compliments TO
the author of our troubles, but of course
are too busy to do anything more than
suggest remedy for such carelessness.
Few Of us have anything like true con-
ception Of the ordinary city bakeries.
Thousands Of us never saw the INSIDE OF
these mills of Indigestion, and for thas
reason we deem it our duty to comment
briefly or the present condition OF them
in this city. The meat inspector, whose
duty it is now, as we'll as it was III the
past to visit the bakeries OF our CITY
whenever he can find time to do SO. has
told us moro than once. that ii we knew
how dirty and filthy some Of these places
are, we would almost starve to death
before eating the bread they turn out.
Of course it must not be supposed tor
moment that all the bakeries in the city
are dirty; on the contrary the majority
of them are kept in very wholesome
condition. We refer to those that are
dirty and say that one dirty bakery IN
Minneapolis, or in any other city in the
state, is one too many and should be
quarantined by the health department,
until put in shape SO as not to endanger
public health. Representative Penny's
bill for the puriication Of the waters
of the Mississippi is another splendid
measure which should become law. As
protector of public health Representa-
tive Penney is one of the best III Mime

Is TT not near time that congress
would get down to business. The
Force bill and the Cloture bill have oc-
cupied the attention Of our national
legislators so long that the country is
wondering if congress re- eassembled for
20 other purpose than to consider these
two measures. A repeal of the Nc
Kinley act at this session Of congress
would cover a multitude of offences
committed at Washington during the
past wear. but that is too much to ex-
pect from such a body of prejudiced
politicians. When Brother Mills, of
Texas. Or some other good man like

TIE friends Of liberty and good gov

TIE friends Of liberty and good gov
eminent are to be congratulated On the
action Of the North DAKOTA legislature
in voting to resubm1t the question Of
prohibltion. The Democrats fought
hard and they won. Since the people
of the Dakotas voted prohibition. these
two states have become like others Of
their class---isolated. There is no deny"
ing the fact that there has been almost
as much whiskey consumed in those
two states during the past Gwo years as
there ever was under the CID system
But the fanatics argue differently.
They will tell us that. With few excep-
tions. all the saloon keepers gave up the
business and directed their energies to
TO something else. This is very good
for one who knows no better, but it is
not true. It is a well known fact that
Fargo, Grand Forks, bismarck and
Pembina, in fact all the towns of any
account in either Of the Dakotas had
more Intoxicating liquors inside their
limits during the past year than they
ever had before. Saloons, in many of
these places, were run wide open at
times, and there Is no sense nor truth
in the statements to the contrary. Our
prohibition friends should get down to
reason, and wipe out fanaticism in the
Dakotas. There is no sense in prOhibl-
tion. Itneyer prohibited except perhaps
on paper. and We all know how much
that means in frontier town, or in any
town for that matter. 1t would be bet
ter for all concerned that these two new
states were getting a little revenue
from the sale Of liquor. than getting
nothing at all. It is to be Hoped that
when the question is sent back to the
people that the latter will bury prohibi-
ton so deep that it will never again be
res esurrected.

THOSE TRANSFERS AGAIN,

And so the Minneapolis street railway
company has gone back to the old sys-
tenn OF issuing transfer checks on the
street corners. There would be no little
objection to this system If the company
would furnish the public with more
transfer agents. Take for instance the
case of man On his way home from St.
Paul. He lives out on the cd motor
line and of course is entitled to transfer
check Oh aljghting from an interurban
Car st Washington and First avenue
south. But does he? No; he must go
up to Hennepin and washington to get
his transfer check; and walk back two
blocks. So to get the transportation he
is entitled to he must go four blocks
farther than he should have to. This is
all done OF course to help, the company,
but the latter should meet the public
half way at least, and station transfer
agents at all convenient places. The
pubic expect transfers whenever they
are entitled to them, ann the few who
will try to get the best Of the company
are very few indeed. It is very strange
that street railway companies in other
cities find it profitable and more CON
venient to furnish their nduetors with
transfers, and that our company in
Minneapolis is continually complaining
abont being beaten By the public.
