can get them in any market. This
can only be done with the money.

Coupled with an epidemic of typhoid
fever, which has invaded twenty
households in the village of Bayside,

that all the families stricken by the

Drinking members of the commun-

the fever germs. Instead of inviting

the drink question has nothing to do

Twenty-six years ago he was re-

Ways Of Every Day People.
There are now to be seen automo-
biles in SO great variety that an odd
new one doesn't attract the attention
that it once would have attracted. But
one of familiar style seen the other
day going down Fifth avenue did at
tract attention because of an unusual
feature about it, in the shape of a
fishing basket hanging on it's side.
Evidently this autos occupants had
been fishing somewhere, or had just
come back; they were going to make.
or they had made, their trip to and
from the stream in this most modern

ing basket, to the one observer at

Busy Ivy is on the border line be-

itself 1t is not remarkably funny and it is
wholly lacking in novelty; but, in pro-
auctions Of this character it is the COM

whole show. In fact, he is only a small
part Of it, and that "helps some. -
The first scene Of Busy Izzy' is in a
department store, and recalls the opening
act, of 1.-THE Floorwalkers.'' The second is
in a hotel, and is reminiscent Of numerous
other similar scenes. However, this is of
small moment. for the piece attains sue

Very little good news comes : from
Washington these days. Opposition to
the Cuban reciprocity treaty is again
raising its bruised and battered !. head,
and the first round in the consideration
Of the Newfoundland reciprocity treaty
is considered a victory for the opponents
Of reciprocity. Both treaties should be
ratified with all possible speed. Both are
highly beneficial to the United States and
both will have profound effect on the

will be no extra session Of the Cuban
senate to discuss the reciprocity treaty
negotiated by General Bliss, but the treaty
must wait until Jan II. AS the treaty,
by it's terms, has to be ratified before
Jan. 81, 1908, very limited time will be left
to discuss it. There. is less uncertainty
of favorable Cuban action on the treaty
than there is with respect to our own sem
ate, but, it is to be hoped that our national
commercial interests and an honorable
sense of our duty toward Cuba, will over
come the power Of purely selfish interests
and narrow prejudice. Surely tariff ar

Mr.. Jones' Good Advice.

After reading Acting Mayor Jones ac-
count Of his ideas as to- what the mayor
Of Minneapolis should be, people will feel
more than ever that Mr. Jones is the right
man for the place he Is accidentally fill
ing, and they will hope that MT. Haynes
will come as near as Mr.. Jones has to
being the right man in the right place.
Mr.. Jones idea Of the office Of mayor
is that it should be the office Of the gen.
eral manager Of the city, an expert IN
municipal management, man who knows
as much about city management as rail-
way manager is expected to know about
railways. This man should be paid a good
salary for his services and should be given
large powers and judged by results. At
present Minneapolis pays mayor small
salary for doing little more ,as Mr.. Jones
says, than to superintend the superin-
tendent Of police. The salary Is big
enough, perhaps, for the work, but both
ought to be larger. A big business, such
as the city Of Minneapolis Is, ought to
have a responsible manager at the head.
This view leads Mr.. Jones to favor
what may be called the federal plan of
city government. He would have all the
heads Of administrative departments ap"
pointed by the mayor and responsible to
him. And in order that he might have 4
hand in shaping the larger policies Of the
city, Mr.. Jones would have the mayor
preside over the council, so that the leg
islative and administrative branches Of
Of the city, though Independent, would be
closely related.
Mr.. Jones has had splendid opportu
nifty during the last few months to study
the requirements of good city government.
In the main his recommendations are
wise, and should be carefully weighed
and considered by all Of our people who
are DESTROYS of improving our present slip
shod, incompetent and inefficient system
of municipal government.
