SMITH GIRLS JOKES
ANGER THE FACULTY
Franks Commence With Parody on
"Everyman"-Thought lrreverent.

northampton, Mass, April A.
Smith college is in a fever of excite
ment because of lack Of harmony be-
tween the faculty and the leading
girls in the class Of 1904.
The trouble began on the college
rally day, Feb. p. A play, Every
Freshman by Alice Wright, of Al

man. and a sly slap at the faculty
and their present examination system.
While the play was in progress sew

hall, saying that nothing was sacred to
the girls and that they would parody
the gospels next if something were not
done"

that upset the faculty. Early in the
year this young woman began to hand
in papers in the psychology depart
ment signed Mary Duncan" name
which was not her own.
The professor scanned the name
thoughtfully and concluded that he had
lost Miss Duncan's" card. But he en-
rolled her in the college list as a new
pupil. Miss Duncans" work was ex-
cellent, and the professor of psychology
recommended her to the department
club for good work. The club girls
were aware Oh the uual personality or
their classmate and with a great show
of seriousness took Mary Duncan"
into the club.
Then Mary carried her joke fur
ther. She wrote letters begging for a
lock of the professors hair and a
thread of his favorite blue necktie The
young professor caught" on at last
and his dignity was hurt
At the Glee club concert, March Is,
the club sang about MARY Duncan"
and the faculty have expressed disap-
prevail of Mary Duncan" in emphatic
terms.
Another difficulty arose from a frolic
in which a PAPER mache effigy of a
member of the faculty was exhibited.
Meantime the college girls have gone
home for their Eastern vacation, and
hope the affair will have blown over

COOKS STRIKE, CITY
EATS FREE LUNCH
Sixty Restaurants in Denver Close
Bartenders Threaten to Quit Work.

DENVER, Col, April 4.-The strike
of the union cooks was complicated to
day by the determination of the Bar
tenders union to walk out, perhaps to-
morrow. Many people who rely on
the saloon free lunch counters and now
ton bordering on famine faces the
taurants have been closed.
The overworked bartender began to
rebel this morning, and at many free
lunch counters, all Of which are crowd
ed continuously, signs were displayed,
only one sandwich with glass Of
beer" To a famished man this, of
course, meant that before he could
get enough to eat he would drink too
much. This, the police declare, has
greatly increased the number of cases
of intoXication. I
If the bartenders strike it will be to
enforce the unioniZing of the So called
scab saloons by agreement with the
Saloonkeepers union.
People who never cooked a meal in
their lives are buying oil stoves and
chaf1ng dishes in an attempt to get
enough to eat, and the rooming houses
have taken on an odor of onions and
beefsteak, Goldfish and cabbage.
The Restaurant Keepers association
issued an ultimatum today that if the
union walters do not return by noon
tomorrow, non-union help will be
hired. This, of couse, will lead to the
picketing of restaurants and a proba-
bility of serious trouble.

ROOSEVELT ON THE TARIFF.

It requires an effort to be patient with the president
of the United States when he declares that the ques
ton of tariff revision speaking broadly stands wholly
apart from the question of dealing with the trusts
A child in the kindergarten OF political economy
knows that the tariff is the mother of trusts truth hrs
stated in that form by Havemeyer the king OF the sugar
trust who knew what he was talking about
The sole aim and object of protective tariff is to
give monopoly of the home market to home manu-
facturers having secured such monopoly the home man
ufacturers combine-and there's your trust
Under the operation of the Dingey tariff practically

Kinley-bred trusts went out of business When the
Dngley higher tariff law became operative the brood OF
trusts doubled, trpled, in a day almost.
The effect of protective tariff is like this: Suppose

that the people could get flour for less money Then
the ST Paul dealers would put their heads together and

continue the exclusion of outside -four and the ST. Paul

privileges granted by the ordinance taxing outside -four

THIS THE ACCEPTED TIME.

Today would be proper day for the Ramsey
county delegation to wake up the Importance of the
bill for 3cent fares cars. This bill was with
drawn from the of the house upon request of Rep
resenatve Tighe of Ramsey county, who so far as can
be learned, has never restored it its proper place
Mr.. Tighe explained that he wanted to further exam
inc the provisions of the bill HI has had several DAYS
in which to make this examination and the working
people are wondering how long ought to take him
to completely master the details of bill so brief and
simple in its meaning
The bill i'll question is designed to authorize the
city OF St Paul, through the council to order 3-cent
fare on the street railway during the hours when work
ing people to their places of employment in the morn
ing and return home after the days work is done.
That such order would not work hardship on
the street company is abundantly shown by the re-
ports of earnings made monthly by the company Of
course, Mr. Lowrys millions would pile up quite so
fast but he would not be in danger of going hungry if
the toers of the Twin Cities were granted the 7cenr
fare
Lowry's company has been granted privileges on the
streets OF St Paul worth millions of dollars and in return
he could we'll afford to make the slight concession asked
on behalf of the and who work for from ST
to So day.
Let the Ramsey delegation do something in the mat
ter; especially let Mr. Hickey, who introduced the bill
and Mr. Tghe who shelved it. for it the most import
ant matter before the legislature so far as this city is
concerned.
