On this subject OF athletics friend of
mine. who has given much attention to it,
makes a very sensible remark, to the effect
that there is great deal OF over-indulgence
in athletics, and many men are weakened
instead of being benefited by the exercise
they take. "The man whose employment is
active needs no athletics to keep him in good
health" says my friend. "But the sedentary
man must exercise certain amount or he will
surely find his constitution impaired after
time. Now. The determination Of the proper
amount is very difficult matter and should
not be left to chance or caprice. Exercise
should I've taken, like any other medicine,
under the advice of a competent physician,
and the man shoald be specially careful not
to go beyond the limit his doctor gives: Be
cause five-mile walk is good for me, 1t does
not follow that it is good for you, or Tor
Smith, or Brown, or Jones. The mass OF
mankind who exercise are inclined to be
tyrannical; they make sweeping assertions
as to the need of every man to take the same
amount of physical exertion which they
allow themselves, and place all ages and con-
ditions on the same level. They are ready
enough to admit the truth of the old adagee,

ldermen Object to Being Criti-
cised On the Salary Question.

cised On the Salary Question.
Now the kicking against the action
of the council committee on salaries and
the council itself has penetrated to the
ears of the aldermen. 1t takes good
deal to convince the average alderman
that any one can have the temarity to
question his acts, but when he once
realizes that he is the subject of crit-
ciSm ne emulateS well known beast of
burden, lays his ears back on his neck
and kicks long and loud. at the same
time giving full swing TO his voice. Pres
ident Potter voices his sentiments anent
the DIRECTORS thus:
''As | understand it the complaints
about salaries in the health depa rtment
come all from one man, and as we have
his name it might be advisable for
him to go slow. There is no justice in
his story that | can see. He complains
because new men receive as much as
old ones. Now, as a matter of fact,
new men will learn to do the routine
work, aud do it we'll. In few days or
weeks"
But even a defeated candidate for
mayor is not above repeating an old
mistake, l. e., taking things for granted.
He is mistaken when he thinks that all
the kicking in the health department
comes from one man. Another alder
man denied that his remarks concern
ing the size of salaries applied to alder
men, although plenty of people can be
found who think they should be so APP
piled. There is music in the air around
the city hall, and the chief instruments
are the slide trombone and the big bass
drum. The latest additions to the ranks
of the DIRECTORS come from the city
assessors Office. The pay of the depu-
ties has been cut from 81 and S. per day
to $3.50. These are the men who brave

THE COUNTY SOLONS.
A Day of Routine Work by the
Commissioners.

The county commissioners held their
first February meeting yesterday, and
opened up matters by awarding the
county printing to the Times at figure
of 2S13 cents an inch. the next i'm
portant business was the proposed legis
lation brought before the board for its
Endorsement by j. E. Egan. A. w.
Spalding and E. T. Abbott, who repre-
scented the civil engineers of the city.
The idea is to put the county surveyor
upon salary of $500 per year i'll lieu
of the present fee system. County Sur
veyor Egan is authority for the state
ment that the fees have amounted to
about $4,000 per year in the past, and
likes the idea. 1t is also proposed to res
peal the law enacted year ago, requir-
ing the surveyor to certify to all plats
before they are recorded. The law is
considered hardship to the other sur
veyors. 1t is proposed to appoint a
commission on plats. 3r
j. w. Mum petltioned the board to
be allowed to put tug boat on Lake
MinnetOnka, and the matter was re
ferred to committee. A petition was
presented to have William Hoiglund
appointed ferryman at the narrowS at
Lake Minuetonka, and was referred to
the proper committee. Coroner Byrnes
reported that Connolly had given the
county the use Of his morgue for the
past year for nothing, thing that was
hardly to be expected. The auditor
was instructed to advertise for bids
for the burying of the poor. The
superintendent of the poor submitted
his monthly report. which showed an
addition of nlne persons under his
charge.
Attachments of taxes were granted to
a score or more applicants. The bond
of the Farmers and Mechanics State
bank, amounting to $1,000. was referred
to the ways and means committee.

Hot Shot.

Plenty of Law TO Enforce Sunday
Obseryance---Rev. Wilkinson's
Hot Shot.
At the monthly meeting of the ortho-
dox ministers, held at the Y. M. G. A.
rooms yesterday morning, DR.. G. III.
Tiffany reported for the committee that
was appointed a while ago to inveSti-
gate means to enforce strict observ-
ance of the Sabbath in Minneapolis
that there was plenty of law to secure
the desired effect. The county attorney
has the power, but is so crowded with
work that he has not the time to under
take so arduOuS a task. The city at
torney has the time but not the power.
The committee, therefore, made these
recommendations:
1. That the city attorney should have the
power to prosecute all cases where violation
Of the city's laws is charged.
p That there should be imprisonment for
offenses against Sabbath observance as well
as fines.
g. That committee of influential laymen
should be appointed to take appropriate ac-
ton looking TO the enforcement of the pres
ent laws for Sabbath observance.
DR.. Tiffany suggested that the matter
should be placed in the hands of lay
much heed to the sayings of ministers.
He thought there was moral sentiment
in Minneapolis sufficient to secure an
enforcement of Sunday laws if the way
were once made clear.
Rev. S. j. Rogers read paper upon
"The Relation of Men in Profess
sional Life to the Rich and Poor" in
which he urged the ministry especially
to get down to level with the common
people, learn of their trades, the lives,
etc, so as to be able to understand their
needs, and to talk to them intelligentiy
upon topics that will interest and in
Struct them.
At the close of the paper Rev. Will
lam Wilkinson. of st. Andrews Episco-
pal church, arose, and. with a visible
show of indignation, recalled the time
when there was a strike of 400 girls at
the Shotwell-Cherihew factory. where
they were making shirts for ~ cents
apiece and pants for % cents. "A dele
gation," said he, "came from these poor
girls to this very ministers meeting,
asking for moral support in the name of
humanity. and what did we do? We
had a splendid chance to exercise the
golden rule, but what did we do We
sent these girls away empty-handed-
their cause was one with which we had
nothing to do: 1t was matter entirely
for commercial men to attend to. Don't

OWEN ON TAXATION.
The Alliance Candidate for Gov
ernor Not Single Taxite.

The Alliance Candidate for Gov
ernor Not Single TaXite.
Neither Mayor Winston nor ex-Gov.
McGill showed up at the meeting of the
Single Tax league last evening. Mayor
Winston felt that his presence was re-
quired at the Window memorial meet
ing, and the pleasure of getting his
honor on record was therefore post
poned. S. M. Owen, the late Alliance
candidate for governor, however, was
present, and made tbs principal ad-
dress of the evening, the subject
under discuss on being the con-
stitutional amendment which will
permit counties OF municipalities
by popular vote to exempt personal
property and improvements from taxa
tiOn; the taxes on this class Of property
Mr.. Owen said he was not single tax
ite. He, however, regarded taxation as
the most important question of the
hour. No note is being taken OF how
much money is raised from the people;
every possible means is taken to raise
it. and then it is careieSSly voted away.
Some reform is necessary, he thought,
as in no country is the burden of taxa
ton so unequally distributed as in the
United States, where the people who
are best able to stand taxation are al
lowed to escape it. He asserted that
from 1920 to 1860 the difference
between the assessed and real value of
property was but Is to 20 per cent.
From 1860 to 1870 this disparity increased
to 100 per cent, from 1870 to 1880 $50 per
cent, and from 1880 to 1890 to 225 per
cent. While the real value of property
has increased from $l6,000,000,0 to
S65, 0O0. 0O0.00O, the assessed valuation
has increased only $4,000, 100000. The
argument of the single taXiteS
is that the assessors cannot find
this property which is not re-
turned, but he believed it could
be found as it was in the past, and
should be. He also took little stock in
the theory that taxation on personal
property is grievOus burden upon the
industries of the country, and thought
that the tax upon mortgages only made
it harder for people to borrow money.
He was, however, in favor of submit
ting the constitutional amendment UNI
der discussion to cities and counties, to
be voted upon, as he regarded the peo-
pie as the supreme law of the
land. He thought it would re-
suit in an educational campaign
and that the people, as a result, will
learn more in six weeks about taxation
than they would otherwise in six years.
AS a third argument against the single
tax, he said he felt an adherence
against allowing them who have great
riches invested in other than real prop
erty to escape taxation.
