GET EN- TO TALKING
That Is Half the Battle for Tax Re
form.
so SAYS LAWSON PURDY OF N. Y.
He Says Changes Are Bound to Fol
low Popular Discussion
of Taxation. ~

Lawson Purdy, secretary of the New
York Reform Tax association, who adj
dresses the Commercial club this even
ing, and may speak before some of the
committees Of the legislature tomorrow
arrived from New York this morning. Mr..
Purdy says that Minnesota has big OPP
portunity in tax reform at the present
time. The public is discussing it and
that is half the battle.
"Our big work in New York up to date, -
said Mr.. Purdy "has been to get the peo-
pie interested in the subject of tax re-
form. Here in Minnesota the work of
your commission has started the agitation
in good shape in every part of the state.
This gives tax reform in Minnesota it's
big opportunity. The public is so deeply
interested in the subject that good results
must ultimately come to the state.
"In New York state we have had the
subject Of taxing mortgages under discus
sion for some time. The agitation has
been very instructive and although no
legislation has been passed believe that
we have done good work in educating pub
lie sentiment in the right direction. Taz
reform will come gradually because the
people must be educated and all interests
must be harmonized in it's favor. We have
never made a recommendation in New
York state that has not been Endorsed
by the labor organizations. On the other
hand a bill we introduced into the legis-
lature has not only been Endorsed by the
labor organizations but by all business
men as we'll. Our speakers go before the
business mems organizations to explain
our plans and visit the granger organiza-
lions for the same purpose
Mr.. Purdy declined to give his views or
the Minnesota tax code. He will remain
in the city several days the guest of S. A
Harris of the Bank of Commerce.

WAR ON THE "SNITCH"
UNDESIRABLE TYPE OF LAWYER
He Is Said to Be Busy I'm Minneapo-
.2 lis at the Present
a. Time.

Certain transactions and practices by
some of the members Of the Hennepin
County Bar association have awakened the
more respected members to realizatio
that 1t is time that something should
be done to punish offenders and eliminate
d1sreputable tactics. A revival is going
over the whole country in the legal pro-
fession, the purpose being to elevate the
tone and get rid Of Objectionable ele-
mentS.
In Kansas City war has been started
against the 'tsnitch." The latter is
term given to lawyers who either for
| themselves or for others who wish to pre-
serve the semblance of responsibility,
| make it business to nose around in
! the community and solicit professional
| employment.
In Minneapolis the ''snitch" is both nu-
merous and busy. Many suit for dam
ages on account of personal injuries,
many divorce proceeding, many a case
! affecting the title Of real estate, has been
| previously worked up by Minneapolis
| "snitches.''
Lawyers realize that their profession il
suffering and are quite ready for re-
| form.

HEAT COMES HIGH CUT OUT The COMIC
Reputable Dealers Not Handling
b Vulgar Valentines This Year.
STRONG REACTION AGAINST THEM
Coarse and Insulting to BE
Countenanced Longer.

Miss Schoolma'a am and Messrs Poli-
tician, Policeman and Public Oficial-any
one in position to receive taunts or in
sulting communications through the
mail or otherwise from an anonymous
source-may rest easy on the approach
good old saint will send his patrons
naught but loving messages, words of
cheer and good-natured, permissible
badinage.
The ''comic'' valentine nuisance will
be discontinued this year to the Joy of
all good people and the dismay of the
evil-minded and malicious. Following the
example of eastern dealers, who have
recognized a well-defined turn Of pub
lie opinion against the cheap valen-
tine, Minneapolis stores have cut out
the Objectionable feature of the day, and
have made no arrangements for catering
to the vicious or small boy element
which has created most of the demand
for the vulgar caricatures heretofore.
Not penny valentine was to be found
in the department stores visited this
afternoon and the proprietors announced
that they would have none Of them on
sale from now until Feb. IA, inclusive
This action has stimulated the healthy
demand for the valentine which is de-
signed largely to give bashful young
fellows a chance to say honeyed Moth
A week in advance of st. Valentines Day,
the valentine counters at the big stores
are already crowded with boys and girls
and people old enough to know better.
The greatest demand up to date is for
cheap valentines. and the modest cards
costing from 1 to 10 cents have the call
A new feature this year is the small
heart-shaped card, stamped with various
designs, and bearing the old, familiar
legends: ITO my valentine" with love
to my sweetheart and the like.
The time honored gaudy paper lace af-
fairs are missing from the counters and in
their stead are palmer, more artistic
cards, finished in real lace and less sickly
sentiment.
The art stores are making more Of a
speciality this year Of neat hand-painted
valentines, not only appropriate to the
day, but highly ornamental. An unusual
demand is reported for large pictures OF
cupids and women's heads tied with knots
of red ribbon. These pictures have nc
particular significance to the day e4-
oept in the way of remembrance. Accom-
panied by a tasty frame, they are useful
| as we'll as ornamental.
| The art stores are also prepared to sup
! ply funny people with facet1ous Valen-
| tines. One popular card bears half
! tone of a pig, and underneath is the IN
scription:
| dearest, give your neaft 70 me, 1oi
! love no one but thee.
| Again, Bridget is seen seated at the
! telephone and asking: "ls that you
| Charlie?''
Another design is small heart shaped
card with a tiny envelop attached. II
this envelop is miniature telegraph
sheet of the ''Wireless Union Telegraph
Company" asking my valentine" to "ac'
| knowledge receipt
Jap dolls with parasols attached t.
decorated cards are also popular. Owls
and bears in various attitudes of love
making are also equally fetching"

LINCoLN.s RELIGION
Extract From the Sermon of Rev. Dl
John. e. BUSHNELL,

E1tract from the sermon of Rev. DR..
John, e. BUSHNELL.
'Lincoln's Religion was the subject of
DR.. John E. Bushnell's sermon at West
minister church last night. The aim Of
the discourse was to show, by the ances-
try and the early associations and other
elements that entered into Lincoln's life,
a marked Religious development, ranging
from intense public criticism of Chris
tianity to most striking expression of
his own sense of helplessness and depend
ence upon divine guidance and support.
DR.. Bushnell said in part: '+
Without the Christian religion there could
have been no Abraham Lincoln. In his blood
flowed the inherited principles of the Chris
tian faith. His devout Christian mother i'm
parted to him at birth and by later influence
a fiber and training which through all the
strange events of his life moulded his char
acter, the true principles of which appearing
only when great responsibilities called them
forth In the early life he was known as
absolutely honest, just and reliable, not
peculiarly marked for deeds of unselnshness
and sacrifice, and with no especial holiness
of thought His early associations were
almost entirely among pronounced .nfidels.
He was saturated with the writings of Paine
and the French atheists. What preaching he
heard, if any at all, was of the poorest and
most unattractive sort. 1t is not at all sur
rampant spirit of infdelity His one great
aim was to succeed in politics. He talked OF
little else, he thought and acted along no
other lines when he had once begun his pro-
fessional work. His interests could not be
swerved. He was a man with one idea
and that idea was that Abraham Lincoln
should succeed in a political life His asso-
ciates speak of him as being no trickster but
shrewd, not unselfish politician, who craved
popularity. The great change in his life came
with the grave responsibilities as head of the
nation. After the burdens incident to this
office were upon him and he awoke to realize
fully what his destiny was, he seemed to ap-
preciate most profoundly his own weakness
and his absolute dependence upon God. From
this time on the expressions that come from
his lips in public and private are from the
lips of one who lived in humble dependence
upon strength derived from power not his
own.
