MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
END ITS SESSION
Railroad Rates and Municipal
Ownership Were the Topics
Discussed Yesterday.

Minneapolis was yesterday selected
as the next meeting place for the Mu-
nicipal and Commercial League of
Minnesota. The delegates voted favor
ably on the invitation of the Minneapolis
Commercial club to accept the hospi-
tally of the Flour City.
At the meetings of the league yes
terday held in the st. Paul Commercial
club rooms, the delegates discussed the
advisability Of the enactment of laws
governing railroad freight and passen-
ger rates. The municipal ownership
of public utilities was also discussed.
A resolution was passed asking the
state legislature to give the state rail-
road and warehouse commission power
to fix minimum rates and to enforce
the rate decided upon until they are
declared unjust and unreasonable by
the courts.
Another resolution was adopted, re-
questing congress to confer greater
powers upon the interstate commerce
commission. This resolution called for
an amendment to the long and short
haul clause of the interstate commerce
law. copy of the resolution will be
sent to the Minnesota senators and
representatives..
Municipal Ownership.
Most Of yesterdays session was
taken up in the discussion of munich
pal ownership. A report of the mu-
nicipal ownership committee showed
that there are 479 municipal plans in
the state, twenty-eight in cities Of 800
and upward, and ninety-f four in cities
of 1000 and upwards. There was a de-
cided tendency to municipal owner
ship. In cities of less than 300 popu-
lation the communities generally own
their own water and light systems.
Oscar Claussen, former city engineer
for st. Paul, said that much cheaper
light can be had by cities operating
electric lighting plants than by grant
ing franchises to private corporations.
He told how an ideal plant could be
operated for a city of 1900 inhabitants.
Among others who spoke were Oar
F. Reese, of st. Paul; M. B. Hayes. of
Mankato and H. A. Savage, of St.
Paul.
1t was voted to fix the beginning Of
the leagues fiscal year at Jan. 1. The
dues for municipalities We're placed at
S. q year. The session was adjourned
at 8 o'clock and no evening meeting
was held.
The present officers were reelected.

CONSUMERS MUST
NOT LET WATER RUN
Secretary Says Water Department Has
Not Suspended the Rule.

Secretary Caulfeld, of the water de-
partment, says he has received nu-
merous inquiries concerning a report
to the effect that the water department
had suspended the rule forbidding con-
sumers to let water run from faucets
In order to prevent pipes from freez-
ing. He says that the report was in
correct and that penalties will be i'm
posed in all cases Of violation Of the
rule brought to the attention of the
department.
1--WE cannot allow a waste of water
even in the cold weather." said Mr..
Caulfeld. Consumers should take
care to have their pipes protected or
have their water turned off in their
houses during the night. The rule is
intended to prevent the waste of water
and it will have to be enforced"

WOULD SEPARATE
TRAINING SCHOOLS
Friendly Visitors VIII Urge Next
Legislature to Provide a
Special Institution.

1--WE should try to make LAWYERS
think about something besides law"
said Mrs. H. A. Towne, of MINNEAPOLIS.
yesterday afternoon at the meeting
held by the Friendly Visitors at the
commercial club in the interest of the
removal of the girls training school
from Red Wing. She spoke Of the dis
inclination of municipal judges to send
slrIS TO the training school, which she
thought resulted from lack of thought
on their part She made a plea for
the complete separation of the two
SCHOOLS which are now under the same
management at Red Wing, and told Of
efforts made in this direction in other
cities.
There was good attendance at the
meeting, which was called to order by
Mrs c. G. Hfgbee. with a few remarks
explanatory of the object of the gath
erlng. She then introduced Mrs. r. r.
Dorr. who is chairman Of the com
mittee from the Minnesota Federation
OF Women's Clubs, which has the mat
Ter OF the training school in charge. Mrs.
Dorr made brief address in which she
told of some of the encoura cement re-
celVed by the committee, and also Of
the encouragement encountered in GER
tain quarters. She told Of the favor
able attitude of the governor of the
state, the board of control and the Off
Gals of charity work who are in a 20
sltlon to know what the work is now
and what might be done if the girls
mad q separate institution quite aDart
from the boys. She said it was desir
apIe that the institution be known
merely as a girls industrial school, and
let reformatory work be done under its
own name.
Red Wing Opposes the Project.
The only adverse comment on this
movement has come from Red Wing,
which of course, for many reasons, de-
slres to keep the school A great effort
VIII be made next winter during the
meeting of the legislature to secure an
appropriation for such an industrial
school in another town, quite away
from the present school, and in the
meantime women should inform them
selves in regard to this important mat
ter and educate their friends and neigh
pors. Petitions have already been
drawn up and are ready for sign
ing. These will be presented TO the leg
islature, and, backed by public opinion
and 5000 club women, the committee Is
confident of success.
Mrs. f. S. Allen, of Dodge Center.
president of the Minnesota Federation
of WOmen's Clubs spoke briefly on the
subject and urged the women of the
state to make this a personal matter
and all put their shoulders to the
wheel. Mrs. Higbee AIDED her word.
and spoke hopefully of the chances for
the reform of incorrigible girls.
Mrs. G. ID. Hayes and Mr.. John F.
Gehan gave musical numbers, and after
the formal programme was finished a
general discussion ensued, in which all
present were invited to take part.

BRIC-A-BRAC HABIT.
From the House Beautiful:

from the House Beautiful:
The bric-a-brac habit is a bad habit,
and like most vices it often comes
from an over-iadulgence in an entire
ly proper pleasure. Mrs. Edith Whar-
ton somewhere says: 1T is, perhaps,
not uninstructive to note that we have
no English word to describe the class
of household ornaments which French
speech has provided with at least
three designations, each Indicating a
delicate and almost 1mperceptible
graduation of quality. In place Of
bric-a-brac, bibelots, objets dart, we
have only 'knick-knacks'-dehn by
Stormonth as articles Of small value "
Ponder on this quotation seriously;
it contains an artistic sermon be-
tween every line. The sin Of this hab-
it Is two-fold, one moral and the 9TH
err artistic. The moral sin lies in the
weakness of character which manifests
itself in an aping Of the rich by the
poor or the less rich. and in the at
tempt to pass spurious or counterfeit
objects as genuine. The artistic Sin
lies In the ugly objects which the habit
makes. one use, or In the overcrowd-
ing Of worthy ornaments-one is as
bad as the other.
In a democracy 1t is useless to ar
que against the first of these, 1 sup
pose; hopeless, doubtless, to say that
such aping is always apparent to
those above. For it is equally true
that it is not always apparent to
those Of equal station and never to
those below. But the artistic sin is
still more fragrant.

EVERYBODY WANTS A TIP

From the San Francisco Argonant:
One of the things that most aston
ishes you with regard to the working
class Italian is the perfect frankness
with which he shows his desire for a
tip. No false modesty obscures it. You
may sometimes fear that you will for
get it. Let such fears forever rest
He won't let you. He will follow you
asking you If you bye your parasol
when he sees It in your hand, or if you
know the way out when he has just
told it to you. The whole poor popu-
lation of Venice is absolutely naif in
its exhibition of a desire for any small
sum of money the passerby may throw
1t. The children, one and all. make a
demand for a. soldino as a matter OF
course. It is sort of greeting to every
eral usage
Coming from the bath you fee the Cir
who has charge Of the bath houses
If you don't she has dozen ways OF
making herself disagreeable next time
you come. And do not allow your
self to be troubled by the thought
she may not recognize you. One
glimpse Of the face fixes it In her mem

woman who takes care of your purse
and jewelry. If you fee her enough she

Before the bath you have to feed the
old woman who gives you your bathing
suit. If you neglect her the next time
you come she will give you a suit tina,
doesn't fit you or is full Of holes.
When you go out on the terrasse fol

you fee the waiter. When you get in.
