cate General A. S. e., Little
Rock, Ark:
Sir-Considering your publish
ed deliverances to an assemblage
1 of the socalled regular republic
can" party organization at Glen
wood park the 26th day of June,
1902, it is advisable that you re-
sign as an officer Of the Arkansas
/ State Guard, therefore your re-
signation is new demanded,
effective at once.
Perfect freedom Of speech and
action should be fully enjoyed by
4 candidate for public office,
hence it is requested that you
forthwith resign your military
connection with the guard, to the
end that you may have perfect
liberty of speech in all discussions
of men and measures, throughout
the political campaign in this
state.
With sentiment of respectful
esteem, | am, colonel, yours
1 truly, Charles Jacobson, Adjutant
General.

General have the honor of
your favor of the 9th, in which
YOU say; considering your
published deliverances to an as
semblage Of the so-called regular
republican party organization at
Glenwood park of June 26, it is
advisable that you resign as all
officer in the state guard" Fur
ther on in your letter the breadth
of your magnificent Americanism
prompts you to say: "Perfect

didates for public office, hence il
is requested that you forth with
resign your military connection
with the guard, to the end that
you may have perfect freedom OF

political campaign" In this |
most certainly agree with you;
in fact, until now, thought il
was one of our best beloved
American prerogatives to have
perfect freedom of speech, and
l that, whether we were candidates
I or not, or whether we held ap-
pointment under the present state

ton with public men or public
r affairs. | had heard intimations
that state appointees were gagged
by official preferment into perfect
silence and peaceful tranquility,
but until now | considered it a
vile slander on the we'll known
magnanimity of your superior
officer, the governor. Alas, how
frail our reasons become before
such mighty and imperial power,
and before it yield up this office
rather than surrender my man.

you may consider this my resig-

l alta loss, General, for a reason
for quitting this noble service,

so doing ] can have freedom ot

that is worth the cost. Believe

A USE FOR THE EXPO
Permanent Furniture Exhibit for
the Entire Northwest May
Be Established There.
The Success Of St. Anthony Park Elk
hibit Encourages Promoters
Of Expo Plan.

One use to which the exposition build
ing may be put, il st is finally partitioned
for manufacturing and other purposes, is
that Of holding a perennial furniture
exhibit in which furniture manufacturers
of the entire northwest shall have repre-
sentation. The men back Of this project
have been encouraged to back it by the
great success which has attended the St.
Anthony Park furniture exposition which
is now looked upon as permanent insti-
tuition. 1t is believed that successful as
the ST. Anthony Park show has been, it
does not come up to the requirements, of
either Minneapolis or st. Paul, and that
the natural location Of such an exposition
should be OF easy access in Minneapolis.
No better place could be found than the
exposition. 1t would afford room enough
for exhibits by all of the leading furniture
manufacturers in cities as far east as
Grand Rapids, Mich, and would be Of
positive benefit to dealers in that city who
are anxious to cultivate a northwest trade.
1t would enable prospective buyers to
come to Minneapolis instead of Grand
Rapids to examine samples Of the best
furniture produced in the Michigan city
and would doubtless lead to great increase
in their business while distance from this
territory is now an argument against fur
nfture buying at Grand Rapids.
At the same time it could not fail to
benefit the furniture interests of Mime
apoiis, by giving local manufacturers an
opportunity to exhibit their products on a
larger scale than floor space in their fac
tories and sales rooms now permits.
Whatever use the big building may ul.
timately be put to, it is assured of first:
class transportation facilities. All the
trackage needed will be provided by tun:
neling under the high embankment from
the railroad tracks on the river front and
backing trains into the basement of the
building. 49, =;

Commercial travellers throughout the
northwest have hit upon novel sexpedient
for the reformation of careless hotel
keepers and liverymen. The knights Of
the grip believe that things have reached
such a pass in this enlightened day and
age Of the world that there is no longer
any excuse for miserable accommodations
at small towns. Their daily experience.
however, has convinced them that there
is still plenty of room for improvement.
To remedy matters, they are now using
the powerful leverage Of their member
ship Of $500 in this territory. Whenever
just complaint is lodged with the griev-
ance committee now, the offending hotel
man or liveryman is promptly notified
and asked to mend his ways. The head Of
the committee is Terry McCosker, grand
counselor of the United Commercial Trav-
elers for Minnesota and the Dakotas. He
is authority for the statement that thu
committee has already accomplished q
great deal.

ly to proprietors of unsatisfactory hotels.

TO FIGHT THE TRUST.
The Minneapolis Retailers Of Cigars
Ready to Meet the United Cigar
Stores Company.
The Tobacconists, Druggists, Grocers
and Saloon Men Will Unite
~. t.; Against the Octopus.

Minneapolis retailers of cigars and to-
bacco will organize, not later than next
spring, to protect their interests against
an expected invasion Of the twin cities
by the United Cigar Stores company.
That company, which is believed to be a
branch Of the American Tobacco, or '.to-
baeco trust has already established
twenty stores in Chicago. There the
United States company has pursued
methods, already described by T h e
] o u n al, which have resulted in the
organization of retail dealers associa-
ton, pledged to fight the trust. In New
York the United States company has
forty branches. The company's program,
according to report, is to operate, within
a short time, no less than 200 stores
among the large cities Of the country.
mo, we haven't organized yet" said
Cyrus T. Harris Of Cox & Harris, the
local tobacconists, ''but there Is friend
~ understanding among the dozen or more
Minneapolis firms that deal In cigars and
tobacco exclusively. We are ready to or
ganize as soon as the United States COM
pany begins it's invasion. Our association
might not be very strong by itself, but, ii
would have the cooperation of the re-
tail druggists association, the retail groc-
ers' association, and the saloonkeepers
association. In that way all the loca
business men that sell cigars or tobacco a,
retail would be solidly arrayed against the

PAVILION At 'HAHA
H. M. Barnet Wants to Put Up 4 |
$4,000 Structure in the
Park.
He'll Pay $1,000 Yearly and Give
the Building to the City in
Ten Years.

improvements at Minnchaha will be con-
sidered at the regular meeting Of the park
board this evening. There are two mat
tiers Of interest on the program: The
proposition to build a pavilion, and the
plan to condemn for park purposes the
land now occupied by the fakirs, booths
and dance halls.
The pavilion proposition comes from III.
NJ. Barnett. who has similar privileges at
Lake Harriet. He offers to build pa
wilton artistic in appearance and betting
Minnehaha park, at a cost of 1900. the
same to become the absolute property of
the park beard after ten years.
There are several other conditions, one
of them calling for a bond Of S., 800 from
Mr.. Barnett to insure the fulflment OF
the contract.
The proposition has been approved by
the committee on privileges and will be
favorably reported to the park board this
evening.
Some Of the park commissioners are not
enthusiastic but it will probably be passed
without much trouble. The beard wants
to erect its own pavilion, but sees no way
of securing the necessary funds. There is
also some difference Of opinion as ia
whether the rental for the privileges con-
veyed for ten years is high enough. Mr..
Barnett has conducted the Harriet pa
vilion very satisfactorily.
