no Alps which he cannot scale. Perse- cutions in time turn on the persecutor with a thousand-fold more destructive malignity than were visited upon the perseeuted. Wrongs are like the boone rang and return to the one who hurls them with more deadly results than they inflicted upon the intended victim. No people were ever persecuted down. They were always perseouted up. If we have been persecuted in this country, such pers- ecutien has more than doubled our popu- lation in thirty-ive years and has in- creased our material wealth by a billion dollars in the same time. &
 Too Much Freedom.
 sometimes fear that we have too much freedom. know that We do not fully appreciate the full value of MT. Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. We have not yet realized the terrible re- straints and responsibilities which that document placed upon us For the first time in the history of the negro race the check reins of civilization were placed upon him. Liberty. under the law, Is a heavy yoke Therefore, If we would build upon a sure foundation we must throw around our young men such restraints and place within their reach such oppor- tunities as will enable them to At and adorn themselves as true citizens of this government Many of our young men too often exercise the liberty to be idle, vicious, unreliable and dishonest: to dis respect their fathers dishonor their mothers and disgrace their homes. They do not recognize the duty which civiiiza- tion puts upon them to make of them- selves all that God intends them to be, upright men.
 What to Teach Our Children.
 As we go from here let us resolve that we will teach our children and teach the children of our neighbors lessons which will lift them up and adorn and make them useful citizens.
 Teach them that all labor is honorable: that the white cap and apron of the ser want are as honorable as the college cap and gown.
 Teach them that the pick and ax and shovel the blow and the hoe are as hon orable as the pen, and more honorable than the sword.
 Teach them that lying and deception about the most trivial things are crimes to be summed and spurned.
 Teach them that virtue and integrity will be recognized and bring forth fruit whether wrapped in black or In white skins. Ac
 Teach them that to own homes and to beautify homes, to pay taxes, to obey the laws, of the land Is greater than to be an educated idler.
 Teach them that modesty. softness. dig nity and gentleness adorn the cook, cham bermaid and farm hand as we'll as the queen upon her throne
 Teach them that a man who does not produce something. who. does not leave something to the world. does not deserve to enjoy the fruits of the labor or other people.
 Teach them to avoid debts. avoid quar- rels, avoid giving offense, and to be kind, generous and just to all men.
 Teach them that honest, competent, faithful service must be given to their employees.
 Teach them to know the d-'t'cs of dil- igent man. and then make their employ CTS interest their own.
 Last but not least. preach to them the important and everlasting gospel of soap and water for cleanliness is Godliness.
 Then the very gates of hell shall not prevail against us.

After determined resistance which has
extended oyer a period of many weeks.
Henry Sommers will be taken back to
Bolivar. Tenn. to stand trial on a charge
of murder. Son1Iiers' appeal to the sti-

court of Ramsey county denying his ap>
plication for release on writ Of habeas

Sommers, who is negro, was arrested
here about two months ago on the charge
that he had murdered white man at
Bolivar, more than year ago. His re-
lease was once secured by means of
habeas corpus proceedings in the district
court. but he was rearrested and held
until the arrival Of a requisition from the
governor of Tennessee Then deter.
mined fight was made against Sommers'
extradition, the ground upon which the
opposition was based being that he would
be lynched if taken back to Tennessee.
and that there was no chance Of his get
ting a fair trial. Gov. Van SAINT honored
the reauisition and an appeal was taken
from the order of the district court as
stated.
The only issue considered by the SUI
preme court was the legality and sur
ficiency of the extradition papers and as
they were foiind to be in due form the
appeal was dismissed

PARKS AND BOULEvARRDDS
PROF. ZUEBLIN LECTURES ON ST.
PAUL,S NATURAL ADVANTAGES.

Parks and bouleyards constituted the
fertile subject upon which Prof. Charles
Zueblin discoursed last evening in his en-
PERTAINING but somewhat hurried manner.
The audience was rather smaller than
usual by reason of the counterattrac-
ton offered by the charity ball.
Prof Zueblin spoke in enthusiastic
terms of the natural advantages of st.
Paul, which, he declared, could not be
improved upon by the work of the land
scape gardener, and should not be sub
jected to formal treatment in any de-
gree. AS to statues and other set pieces
metimes used as park furniture, he
said that ample and appropriate accom-
smaller economically proportioned plats
and so-called squares throughout the
city without placing them in the natural
parks, which had been so bounteously
provided by nature.
The lecture of last evening, like those
which have preceded it, was illustrated
with stereopticon views. among which

declared had unlimited possibilities at
it's command, and the future of its park
and boulevard system need know no linn
it if the people would appreciate and
take advantage of those possibiiitles. he
spoke Of the comparatively slight obsta-
cles which need be overcome to connect
the park system of ST. Paul with that of
Minneapolis, and thus make a complies

SERVICE is TOO SLOW
STRIKER AVENUE CARS Do NOT
RUN OFTEN ENOUGH.


StIyker avenue car line patrons have q
kick coming, and they are now preparing
to carry. it to the city council with a
den.and for adjustment. Ordinarily a
forty-minute schedule is supposed to pre-
vail on this particular line, but according
to the protest which the patrons are
formulating, IT lis nearer to sixty min
utes.
Two cars morepeften only one, do du-
ty on this out-of-the-way line, and be-
earse Of it's length, patrons say, they
cannot come anyway near making
prompt time In addition, the cars used
are the poorest in the city, paint and
proper interior finish having been denied
them for years, apparently.
The patrons of the line have called in
the aid of the West Side Improvement
association, and accompanied by COM
mittee from that-body, have arranged to
have a heart to heart talk with the
council. The street car officials will also
receive a vsiit.
