E. J. Cornish was the principal speaker
at Fridays meeting Of the Sixth Ward
Republican club. The attendance was not
as large as usual, but the hall was comfort
ably filled. Mr.. Cornish devoted his time
to talking Of his candidacy for congress. He
said, in part:
Ten years ago we went around town

was a good argument then. and now the

been in congress for ten years he should

he has been there that time he has had ten
years TO do many little favors which cost
him nothing. In ten years he should be

have ideas on live political questions. II

of Converts to Close
school Year.

The last Of the converts to conclude its
years work, Mount st. Mary's Seminary,
celebrated its annual commencement FRI
day afternoon, the bishop, the clergy
and a large gathering Of friends being
present.
The exercises were held in the chapel
which was hung with the class colors,
green, lavender and gold. and decorated
with ferns and cut flowers. An interesting
program Of music and recitations was fol-
lowed by the comforting Of awards, honor
ribbons. laurel wreaths and medals being
given.
The graduating class consisted Of I'VE
young women; Misses Ella Kelley, Margaret
Breslauer, Veronica O'Connor, Lottit Frick
and Christene McDermott, their essays all
touching upon the same subject, woman -
which had appropriately been chosen as the
graduating theme.
The awarding of the bishops medal for
domestic science was of especial interest,
as this is the first year that 1t has been
given and the high standing Of four young
women in that branch made It necessary
for them to draw for 1t. Miss Riley proving
the fortunate one. The exercises concluded
with an address by the bishop, a luncheon
for the bishop and clergy following.

MORE PAY For PARK WoRKMEN
FOremen and Laborers All to Re-
ceive Better Wages After
July First.

Beginning with July, all employees Of the
park board will receive an increase in
wages. This was decided upon at the regu-
lar monthly meeting of the board Friday
afternoon. A month ago the pay Of Su-
perintendent Adams was advanced from 500
to $125 per month, and that Of Charles
Fricke, foreman at Riverview park, from
$40 to $50 per month. This caused a gen
eral demand among park employees for more
money. The foremen at other parks con-
tended that they were Just as much entitled
to a raise as Fricke, and the board at its
meeting Friday seemed to share in this
view. The result is hat j. P. Lowrie,
John Mullen, Fritz Bondesson, Charles II.
oliver, Ben Hart, @. H. Craig, Samuel
Waterman and G. Olson have been advanced
from $45 to $50 per month, and the pay Of
fourteen day laborers has been increased
from s1.60 per day to $1.75 for eight hours
work.
Mr.. Lininger called attention to the fact
that the park board had been paying
lower wages than any other department Of
the city government, that many Of the
park c~aretakers had been in the employ
Of the board for ten years or more; that
they we're skillful and careful in their
work, and deserved more pay. The vote
for the raise was unanimous.
A resolution was adopted signifying the
willingness Of the board to cooperate with
the county commissioners in the paving of
Thirtieth street, from Fort street north to
the city limits, providing that the county
furnishes the funds and that the park
board get not less than 81, 900 this year
as it's share OF the county tax. II was
stipulated that the street should be paved
with macadam, with n driveway eighteen
feet wide.
The contract for the paving Of Eleventh
street with asphalt, from Mason to William
street, was let to the Grant Paving COM
pany for s1.67 per square yard, which Is
said to be 20 cents cheaper than any for
mer contract for asphalt paving ever let in
the city.
A petition signed by Bishop Scannell
and twenty eight others. calling attention
to abuses practiced in Bemis park, was
received and placed on file. The petition
said that women canno go to the park
in the evening without being insulted, and
that It is frequented by drunkards and
toughs. Additional police protection was
wanted. 1t said also that the park was
in an unsightly condition, and not we'll
kept, and that the present force OF one
care-taker should be increased to two. 1t
suggested furthermore, that two large
flower beds be added to the present floral
display, and that one be placed at each end
of the park.

lions Of state. / do not know Of an Argu-
ment you could make In favor Of the ten
years plan that would not be better In
the case Of twenty years. II a man Is to
hold his position for life what is more nat
ural than to take the son which has grown
up under that father's care to succeed him.
This child is best equipped, and from the
FIRST term he gets a tenth or a twentieth
term, and in turn hands the ONCE to his
son-then you have a government by hered-
ity. But this is opposed to the American
Idea. We claim that It is the duty OF
every man to study public questions. Out
Of all Of our people there are many men
who can represent the people. We believe
the officer should keep in touch with his
constituents and that It is your thoughts
and not his which are to be incorporated
into laws.
"If there is one man only who can
represent your ideas he should be honored
highly, but in making that test l would
have you place your standard hlgn-along
with men like Blaine, Edmunds or McKin-
ley-anything less than this lowers the
standard Of American statesmen.
ITO come back to the point: When you
come to decide upon the man who is Of
such extraordinary ability that he can keep
from the contest your wardsman, Mr.. Pratt,
you must show what he has done for the
laboring man, for the cause of freedom,
for the republican party, and not advance
the argument that he got a public building
at Blair"
Mr.. Cornish was followed by w. B.,
Christie, who made a speech calling for
good judgment on the part OF the party
in selecting it's candidates for Offices.
In response to calls short talks we're made
by N. c. Pratt, who took occasion to re-
turn the fine compliments paid him by Mr..
Cornish, closing by touching upon national
issues. and by e. E. Morearty, who referred
to the state tickets now before the people.

Packers Have Their say.


The representatives Of the packers were
certain about the things their companies
didn't own. hut woefully ignorant Of the
things they did. In substance, Mr.. Howe
said that the value OF the Armour COM
pany's personal property in the county is
s4S7,0 600; that the plant has a capacity Of
1000 hogs and 1900 cattle FER day. but kills
on an average only 1000 Of the former and
200 OF the latter; that he doesn't know
what insurance the company carries and
couldn't easily find out. as the insurance
clerk is resident in Chicago; that all cars
used by the company belong to a separate
company in Chicago; that he hasn't any
idea OF the number Of cars in use by the
local plant April 1, and that he had never
agreed to any assessment figure, but had
told the tax committee to first see II its
figures were acceptable to the board.
To this last statement Mr.. Selby added
that has only agreement with the tax COM
mlttee was based on its figure OF $262 ,00O
for the Ave, and that individual figures had
not been mentioned.
Chairman Ostrom called their attention Ia
figures in an editorial in The Bee, showing
that in the census report the companies
investment was given as SIS, 635, 41S, but
they attempted to explain this by saying
that the figures must represent the accu-

Chairman ostrom said It had been de-
clded to swear all parties, and put Mr.

scented this mildly because the jobbers were

said, in generalizing, could be rated proper

represented the fair value of the Swift plant
that its capacity is 4 per cent less thar
