And How They Obtained a View O
the War Department..

ANU HOW Ihey obtained a View of
the War Department..
Washington Special. Chicago Tribune.
Secretary Alger and three soldiers from
Camp Alger figured in pretty little incident
which occurred this afternoon in that portion
of the White house grounds which faces the
army and navy building Secretary ger
demonstrated that he has the same regard
for privates in the rear rank as for officers
commissioned by the president. The soldiers
were saun tering through the beautiful park
IN which the executive mansion is situated
and when Secretary A,ger passed up the
cement walk toward them one of the pr1vates
stepped up to him and saluted in military
fashion.
Sir he said "can you tell us how to
get into that building? It's after O'Clock
ter that hour; The soldier pointed in the
direction of the big gray stone structure
where Gen. A.ger spends most of his time
Well can tell you and help you get IN
TOO, returned the secretary good naturedly,
as he drew forth his card case. from which
he took his card and handed it to the soldier
telling the latter to present It to the door
keeper. Secretary Alger bowed courteously
and resumed his walk to the White house
whl-e the soldiers, having read the name
and official title Of tie donor of the card
manifest astonishment
We'll, by gum, l didn't know who he
was" was the manner in which one of them
expressed his surprise as he presented Sec
rotary Alger's card to the uoorkeeper of tho
army and navy building, into which all three
were admitted with much ceremony on the
part of the guard

GREAT WESTERN TARIFF SHEET.
Claim That 1t Is an Infringement
Made by Chairn,an GIL.

Chairman Gill, of the Eastern classi-
fication committee, which promulgates
the official classification of the Joint
Traffic association has notified the Chi
cago Great Western that it's tariff
sheet and classification is an infringe
ment on the official classification issued
under his direction.
1t was rumored that Chairman Gill
had threatened to bring suit for an in
junction against the Chicago Great
Western to prohibit their issuing
classification under the present form
used by them, but Associate Counsel
Frank B. Kellogg. Of the Great West
ern. says that the rumor is not found
ed on facts. He stated yesterday that
he had received a communication from
Chairman Gill notifying MIN that the
classification issued by the Eastern
classification committee was copyright
ed and that the form used by the Great
Western was an infringement. He has
written asking further particulars. He
says that he is inclined to doubt the
assertion made by Chairman Gill as tbs
form in use by the Great Western is
common to all Western roads and has
been for number Of years.

A PUBLIC LIBRARY.
Observations on the Issue Of Scrip and
EOsdS.

UbSerNdt10nS on the ISSUE VI oSTip ouu
~EOrds.
To The st. Paul Globe:
At the time when pubic library enthu-
s.asm was at fever heat. submitted prop
osition for the conversion of the present mar
ket house into a public library buildrg. with
stores beneath, as outlined in the diagra m
which appears in your issue of this morning.
l coupled with it the suggestion that
library scrip be issued to the amount of the
cost of the changes. to be redeemed annually
with the money accruing from the rents ct
the stores beneath. estimating that in TWEEN y
years the scrip would all be retired, leaving
US market house and library free from
debt, without contributing to the support of
idle money lenders. in the form OF interest,
in the meantime.
This suggestion was pooh-poohed by SINE
of the broken down real estate manipulate. S
who attended the meeting at the Commercial
l would like to ask what citizen of St.
Paul would refuse to accept this scrip
based-for security-upon the present market
house site and the buildings to be erected
thereon, in preference to money based on
bonds upon which he has to pay interest?
If the citizen ever expects to retire the
bonds bearing interest, can he not the mere
easily retire SCRIP that does not bear in
terest?
For every dollars worth of interest that Re
pays he can retire a dollar of the original
debt, by the issuance of scrip for the pur-
pose. OF course, the constitutional provis-
ions OF the state; stand in the way Of adopt-
lug any advanced IDEAS IN THIS Qlrec ION, Out,
unlike the laws of the Modes and Persis n :,
they might be altered.
might cite the Guernsey market house
plan, with which every student of political
economy is conversant. as a practical ex-
ample OF the idea above suggested. When
the citizens of Guernsey went clamoring to
the governor of the island for market facii-
ties. he asked them if they had the stones
and lumber and wcrkmen necessary to erect
the building. yes" they replied, 1--WE have
all this. but we have no money" "Never
mind the money" said he, "go ahead with
| the building and I'll issue scrip enough to
pay for the supplies and labor" which he
did. and the market house was erected and
the scrip retired with the money received
for rents. until the whole structure wss clesr
from debt and not a single money lender
made a penny out of the transaction
An object lesson for those who claim that
the value of money is in its cost, and not
In its usefulness Yours very truly.

WESTERN RAILROAD RATES.

Executive Officers Discuss Live
Stock and War Tax Matters.
CHICAGO, June 22.-Executive officers Of
Western railroad lines were in session here
today trying to reach settlement of the live
stock rate war; Failing any other plan the
lines propose to form a pool practically dis
regarding the law in the case. The situation
at Kansas City has been SO persistently bad
that many freight men believe the only rem
edy lies in pooling. The 10-cent rate now in
effect is costing the roads thousands of dol
lars and every attempt to restore rates to the
tariff basis eff 23A certs has so far failed.
The question as to whether the railways or
the shippers should pay the war tax on bills
of lading failed to come before the meeting,
owing to the inability of the railway attor-
neys to agree upon a report
