Eth CI|l' COUNCI
Regular Monthly eting
81 the City Fathers Held
I Monday Night

The city council met In regular ses.
sion Monday evening.
q. Fl. Vining asked to be appointed
city bill poster, duties to be to see
that advertising matter was not put
on property without the consent Of
the owners, that paper be kept from
littering the streets, etc. Manager
Henry Guerin Of the opera house said
that he was q member of the Mime
sofa Bill Posters association, would
build proper boards and care for them
properly. All his boards were on pri-
vate property. and he thought he
could get along without asking that
the city help him light competitors.
A. K. Hall who is interested In the
billboard business, claimed that the
association last fall had accepted his
money when he applied for member
ship; that Mr.. Guerin got member
ship by having Vining certify that he
put up stand advertising soap. and
that he was In favor of city bill pos.
ter being appointed. Mr.. Guerin said
he had a bill of sale Of all of Vining's
business, and acquired it honorably.
The council passed the whole matter
up. and there will be no city bill
poster.
The transcripts bid for official city
printing at legal rates was accepted.
The question Of raising police salar-
les was considered. There has been no
change in salaries Of police for several
year, and the salaries have been high
or In past years than now. Other
salaries have been raised, and as
matter of fairness q small increase
foi the police would hardly be OBJ
jected to by the taxpayers. It was
decided to make a raise of IS per
month each.
The street committee was given
power on the request Of T: J. Mona
han that q cement crossing be built on
the West side of Third street at the
intersection with First avenue north
east. This would connect cement and
brick sidewalks.
The clerk was instructed to subscribe
for the Municipal Journal and En-
gineer for one year.
A petition was presented asking
for vacation of twenty feet of the
west side--of First street between the
south line Of Second avenue and the
north line Of Sixth avenue southeast.
The matter was laid over to May 9Th.

JUMPING ON A. L. COLE.
Grand Rapids Herald-Review: Not
only is Representative Cole q nonenti-
ty-an utterly useless ornament dur
ing the session Of the legislature-but
he is resident Of Motley, Morrison
county. He is not resident of this
legislative district. The republicans
ought to feel proud of their borrowed
statesman. If the republicans of the
hrty-second must 60 to other districts
for legislative timber they should in
sist upon getting a square deal. At
one time Cole owned an interest in a
Walker mercantile business, but since
has disposed of this property and 1t is
said that he does not now own q dol
lars worth Of property in the dis
trict. 1t Is probable, however, that
the gentleman may still own a lot Of
two somewhere in the district and
thereby claim a residence.

TOO HEAVY
BURDENS
FOR PARKER

Houston. Tex, Sept. A.-Thomas f..
Watson. Populist nominee for president,
last night delivered an address to great
crowd Of people. He said in part:
Senator James X. Jones OF Arkansas
found his voice few days ago and spoke
his little piece The Peoples party. says
Jones. is working for the Republicans lie
declared that In my Atlanta speech
preference was expressed for Roosevelt
against Parker. Neither In my Atlanta
sneech nor In any other. have 1 mace
any such declaration.
Poor Parker! His burdens were already
heavy. Too much Cleveland, too much
Hin. too much Belmont too much Nc
Carren. too many sights put on rom
Tarsart too much German, too much
Juggling with the old English language,
TOO much foxiness generally, but when
Iones of Arkansas rolled UP he could al
most see the same old pick ana space
and shovel with which he dug the graves
for the Democratic national candidates
IN the memorable campaigns or 1895 ana
1900.
IL our campaign hurts the Democrats
most this year IL Is not our taut' IL
,s the fault OF Jones and all the others
who sold out the principles of Democracy
10 wall street and st. Louis. Had Jones
and his crowd readopted the Omaha plat
form. or something similar, and then
nominated some such real Democrats as
Heart or Bryan. the Peoples party could
not have done business in 1904 at all
II was the astounding betrayal OF the
Democratic principles by Jones Hin
Co. which gave the Peoples party the OPP
nortunIty 10 renew the fight for Jener-
son,an Democracy Inasmuch as we are
| now advocating the same principles which
| Rrvan Democrats advocated for eight
wears. II seems little hard that we
| should be abused as Assistant Repuoli'
cans"
~ ANYBODY has rold out II would be
reasonable 10 suppose that II was thF
crowd who dropped their principles. We
have not dropped ours.
The words right and wrong seem tt
have no place in the political philosophy
OF Alton p. He sloshes back and forti
upon the waves OF partisan manipulation
lust like any other apple He may thinl
that he swims: the facts prove that n
merely floats.
why delude yourselves by hoping To ge

In my opinion. Parker Is going TO b
