where to get it.
We sell the paint for two thirds OF
the cars and stations and bridges and
everything else, that railroad men
want to keep good-looking and sound,
all over the country.
a man who wants a gallon or two
of paint knows nothing about it;
buys whatever is handy, or gets some
painter to make it. .

NEW YORK, Aug. IA league is

nation OF many of the older residents.
what means will be employed to at
tain this object has not been decided
on, but those back of the movement
say that when their plans are formu-
i2ted there will be no room for gay
young men and girls on the streets at
night, unless they behave themselves.
The chief complaint is made against
young men who congregate in the
evening at various points and make
comments on passers- by. The young
men say old fogyism is at the bottom
OF the movement, and that their f1irta-
lions are intended only for those who
DO not object to them. They further
declare their remarks please the girls,
and they would not be made unless en-
couragement was received
The league will also attempt to en-
force Sunday closing, ice cream saloons

uency. no matter what that voter hap
pens to believe. There may be one ex-
ception. Tawney is in favor of free
lumber. AS to the summum bonum Of
tariff revision Fletcher, on the other
for free lumber anywhere in his long
winded manifesto. He stands, as usual,
by the farmer, and is none the less
devoted adherent of the laborer and
the manufacturer. He believes in the
present Philippine policy of the admin
istration, safe in the assurance that the
Filipinos will in the course of time
become the most grateful people on
earth for the independence which i'm
perialism will have conferred upon
them.
And so does Mr.. Fletcher run the
entire gamut. He reveals himself as
occupying a secure position on the po-
litical fence, ready to drop off on either
side according as the demands of the
situation may require.
IL is nafQty conceivable IIdI MeSSIS.
Hay and Peterson can silently accept
their friend Fletcher's monopoly of all
valuable opinion on all disputed ques-
tons. Manifestoes are due from them
just about this time; and if they are
issued they will prove not a whit less
interesting than that of the present
congressman. For the purpose of DEM
onstrating the wide range of Repub-
lican conviction on all prevailing ques-
tons, if to no other end, it is exceed
ingly desirable that Mr.. F1etcher's OPP
ponents for the Republican nomination
should present their views. They may
succeed at least in showing whether
there remains any question whatever
on which Republican candidate in
that district has not committed him
self in some degree to the position as
sumed by the National Democratic
party.

WIDOWS ARE TOO KIND
TO GRAVEDIGGERS
Wives of Cemetery Employees Form a
Society for Protection Against
Their Wiles.

NEW YORK, Aug. THE wives of
married employees as grayediggerS in
Lutheran and other cemeteries near
Evergreen, L. l., have formed them
selves into an organization known as
the Anti-Widow' association.
1t Is claimed that newly made wild
ows are often very gracious to grave
diggers and others employed about the
cemeteries. This came out through
discovery made short time ago by
a young woman who was recently
married to an attache of one of the
cemeteries. She began to notice that
she was extremely interested In his
work and at times came home feeling
quite happy, even after a hard day.
The wife of this gravedigger was
lnquiSitiVe and she started to find the
reason for her husbands remarkably
good humor. One afternoon she was
wandering among the hotels that are
numerous around the cemetery gates
and saw her husband enjoying liquid
refreshments with young woman at
tired In mourning. The woman in
black wore widows cap and the wife
at once took in the situation.
That night she closely questioned
her husband and found that widows
We're in the habit of treating the
gravediggers and others in return for
keeping the graves of their dead hus-
bands green.
There was trouble in that household
and since 1t occurred the gravedigger
has lost his position in the cemetery.
The fact of his discharge is credited to
the influence of the Anti Widows as
ISOLATION.
That body was formed after the
young wife had told her story to her
neighbors, and now the married at
taches of the cemeteries are having a
hard time.

A PARK sYsTEMIN SIGHT

The action of the members of the
charter commission in agreeing on an
amendment of the city charter in the
interest of the growth of the public
park system of st. Paul is an event of
prime Importance to the community.
There is no form of public improve
ment which has been attended by such
serious and numerous difficulties as
those which have beset the establish
ment of anything like an ADEQUATE mark
system in st. Paul. Lawmakers and
protesting property owners have united
to make the way hard and difficult.
Indeed, the progress that we have made
In the past fifteen years in that direc-
ton represents a marvel of individual
devotion to an ideal of popular service.
If the labor and foresight which have
been expended on this problem during
the past ten or fifteen years had found
even partial expression at the outset Of
the city's career the problem would not
be attended by anything like the grave
difficulties which have stood in it's way
and still stand in its way notwithsfand-
ing the action taken by the charter
commission. But we were behindhand.
we did not foresee the urban greatness
which was in sight. We have been
slow in recognizing it even to the pres
ent hour

vision with reference to popular recre-
alton places. The existence of Central
park in the very heart of Greater New
York offers the grandest example of
such provision which perhaps the en-
tire world presents to view. Had we in
laying out our present Central park
extended its boundaries to Broadway
on the east to the Great Northern
tracks on the north, and to Western
avenue on the west, we would have
shown proportionately as clear an I'M
Outstanding of the future needs of the
community as the founders of the New
York park system did when they de-
fined thu boundaries of their Central
park
1t is to the discredit of both the cities
that there exists no interurban park
system. There is not even an accent
able driveway from one city to the
other, and there never will be, nor will
any other adequate park Improvement
ever be called into existence, until the
old fogy spirit which the park board
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-08-08

has battled so effectively against shall
be put under foot. 1t is that spirit
which has wrought the most grievous
injury which this city has endured at
any stage of its career.
The principle which underlies the
action of the commission regarding the
park system should be extended with
proper safeguards until every recog-
nized public improvement, the absence
of which is now operating to the city's
detriment, is in a fair way of being
realized. Mayor Smith in his last mes
sage set forth the principal needs of
the city departments. Those needs we
cannot continue to ignore. If the heads
of the several departments which suffer
from them proceed with some Of the
intelligence and energy displayed by
the members of the park board, their
demands will receive the same public
recognition.

CITY HAS NOTHING TO FEAR.

No true friend of the welfare of the
city of st. Paul need concern himself
over the outcome of the probable move
ment to settle the relative rights of the
city, individual property owners and
the existing tenants of the levee prop
erty. If that movement is designed as
a threat of injury to the city on ac-
count of the strict enforcement of the
city's rights in that levee property it
will assuredly fail Of it's unworthy pur-
pose. st. Paul is today in no situation
where it need fear threats by those who
do not fulfill the conditions on which
they have been invested with special
rights and privileges. If fear is to be
entertained it should be by those who
may be engaged in an effort to defeat
the laudable ends of both property
owners and the community in setting
aside the levee property for public uses.
No one who recalls the facts attend
ing the devotion of the levee to it's
present uses will deny that there was
some hardship suffered by individual
property owners; but in the consum-
nation of the policy which undertake
the utilization of the river front, the
gain was to property owners as well as
to the city as a whole. If the city is
being deprived of it's legitimate share
of gain through the acts or omissions
of individuals the people want to know.
And they want to see the penalties of
such darriTyotion oppIiad
This people cares nothing for the
private aspects of the controversy
which has been aroused. The city
cares nothing for it. The claim has
been made that in the exercise of the
valuable privileges and easements
which certain business men enjoy, free
of charge, through the location of their
establishments on the levee, the rights
of the community are being either
wholly or partially ignored. If this be
the fact it should be made known, and
the courts are as good an agency as
any through which to make it known.
Those who seek to find acceptance for
the idea that there is anything in the
circumstances attending the appropria-
ton Of the land in question for the
uses to which it is applied that the
city fears to have made known will
have their minds disabused of the idea
at the end of the law suit, if there is
no other way of convincing them.
If the beneficent purposes for which
the levee was established are being de-
feated it will be great public gain if
the truth is made known, since there
are a great many business concerns
which would gladly remove their inter-
ests to this community, and gladly
comply with far more onerous require
ments than those now existing if they
could be given the valuable privilege
represented by free site on the West
side levee.

FLETCHER'S BROAD GAUGED
OPINIONS

Congressman Loren Fletcher, shreWd
to his personal interests, and more es-
pecially in political life, seems liable to
repeat the fatal mistake of Congress
man Tawney. Tawney had always
talked too much. Fletcher, until beset
by his present difficulties, talked rather
too little. Confronted by effective OBJ
position within his own party and chaI-
lenged, if he should overcome that op-
position, by Democratic candidate
whose strength is universally conceded,
Mr.. Fletcher now seems to have found
his tongue, apparently much to his own
detriment. He has felt called upon to
make public declaration of his opinions,
which, of course, are to be accepted as
good enough opinions for Fletcher to
entertain until after election.
In his manifesto Congressman Fetch
er embodies a series of excuses and
explanations. He boxes the political
compass like the skillful mariner that
he is, and careful examination of his
manifesto leaves the reader at a sore
loss to discover any line of public pol
scy which might relate to the duties of
a congressman on which he is not
pledged with delightful impartiality to
sustain the policies of the Republican
and the Democratic parties alike.
He favors tariff revision just as he is
a strenuous protectionist He stands
by the beet sugar interest, while being
the most cordial adherent of the prin-
ciple of reciprocity. In Cuban matters
he is at once the adherent of Roosevelt
and an insurgent. He voted against
the project of an isthmian canal, but
he is in favor of constructing such a
canal on the Panama route He urges
the most rigid economy in national ex-
penditures and is in favor of the largest
possible appropriations for public i'm
provements. He is the especial cham
pion of Minnesota, and especially Of
Minneapolis interests, yet he favors the
introduction of Manitoba wheat free
of duty.
Sweeping the entire horizon of poIit-
ical difference of opinion today there
can hardly be said to be one subject Of
public interest on which the opinions
of Congressman Fletcher, according to
his public manifesto, are not so care
fully adjusted as to assure him the
