one duty of the conductors outside that OF
collecting the fares, seems 10 be that OF
eFowding as many people as possible into the

these Objectionable changes. for this reason:

three weeks, The majority OF the members
are going out of Office, and there seems to

sentatives can do nothing until they take
office and in the meantime the people are at
the mercy of any soulless syndicate. The
people have a right TO q proper service OF
cars OH East Seventh street, AID If they would
only display the vigor of the MidWayites
they could soon begin TO dictate terms to the

more, of the people attending the convention
will certainly pay visit to this city. and
nothing should be lett undone in the direc-
ton of creating q good impression OF the
city. st. Paul has everything to gain and
nothing to lose by the holding of the ma

many more on East Sixth street. The dis

It'would be interesting to know the actual
amount of money spent by the different park
commissions and then to make an inventory
of the parks actually secured by their aid
The policy of this commission seems to have

Great activity continues to be displayed by
the wage earners. There is hardly trade in
st. Paul today which has not got its organiza-
