COULD. CUT FARE
BY AN AGREEMENT.
LAKE ST. PRIVILEGE AFFORDED
CHANCE FOR BARGAIN.
That Is One View Held Among Those
Discussing Recent Vote on Powers
Resolution - Opponents of Measure
Regarded by Some as Having Com
mitted Political Blunder.

Gossip is heard here and there
about the effort of Alderman f.. M.
Powers to obtain a concession from
the street railway company to sell six
ride tickets for IS cents. It was pro-
posed by Mr.. Powers as one of the
terms for giving the company the
right of way for trolley line on Lake
street, but was defeated by vote of
Z to II. There is an impression that
some of the aldermen committed a po-
litical blunder in opposing the Powers
plan and have made record that will
not be useful in a campaign. The
vote, however, was not on party lines.
In defense they say that they were
governed by the ruling of City Attor-
ney Healy, who held that the street
railway ordinance, which provides
that the council can not fix the fare
at less than cents, could not be
changed by a simple resolution, more
over, that the contract having been
confirmed by the state legislature, was
in effect legislative enactment.
While it is true that the six rides
for a quarter" proposition could not
have been forced on the street rail-
way company in the way it was at
tempted, it is argued on the other
hand that the council had right to
bargain with the street railway
company for terms for giving it Lake
street. There is nothing in the world
to prevent the street railway company
from carrying its patrons for 1 cent
per ride, even, and lawyers say it
would have been perfectly legal for
the aldermen to have attempted to
secure all the concessions they could.
The street railway company is under
no obligations to accept the Lake
street ordinance as it stands, and there
are conditions imposed in that
measure now which it is argued were
as irregularly imposed as the Powers
amendment The impression has
emanated from the company that it
will not accept the ordinance on &C
count of the condition requiring it to
reset the curb and widen the street
at it's own expense and to pay dam
ages to shade trees.
The vote on the Powers resolution

BUSY MANS DIRECTORY
Time Saving Device for Twin City BusI
ness Men.

Minneapolis and st. Paul have come up
to date in the matter of a strictly busy
mans business directory, one in which
the hurried business man may find the
names of other business men with the
least possible expenditure of energy and
gray matter. The book is directory of
the office buildings of Minneapolis and
st. Paul, and was compiled by Horace
B. Hudson.
There is a general division for each
city, with an index of buildings. In each
division the office buildings are pre-
sented in alphabetical order, and under
each building the names Of the occupants
are given, also in alphabetical order, with
their occupation, office number and both
telephone calls. Following the arrange
ment by buildings is directory of the
business heart of the city, giving the
names Of business men, firms and com.
panies in alphabetical order. With these
too, are given lines of business, telephone
calls and addresses.
Mr.. Hudson announces that the direc.
tory will be brought up to date early ii
January of each year. Chicago has hat
such directory for years. ..E

the leading speciality store cities in
the country. Minneapolis shoppers
like good specially stores and patron

success. The store is devoted exc1u-

crowded on account Of inducements
offered in the way of low prices. The

LEAGUE SUSPENDS
RECIPROCITY WORK
WILL RESUME 1T AFTER THE PO-
LITICAL CAMPAIGN.
Minnesota Organization Meets at
Commercial Club and Decides Upon
COurSe-The Work Is Not to Be
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Has Been
Very Gratifying.

At meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Minnesota Reciprocity
league, held yesterday, at the Com
mercial club, it was decided to sus-
pend, temporarily, active prosecution
of the work as it would be difficult to
accomplish satisfactory results in
campaign time. However, the work
Of the league is not to be abandoned.
The report Of the secretary for the
first years activities, shows that a
wide, and, it is believed, a permanent
interest has been awakened in reel
procity among leading business men.
The Minnesota organization has
taken the lead, and is not disposed to
abandon it because public interest is
just now so largely occupied by polit-
ical matters. At a more opportune
time the work will be resumed with
renewed vigor and confidence. The
members are satisfied that business
men generally are becoming so i'm
pressed with the folly of maintaining
any business barrier between the
United States and a large and growing
section Of North America that they
will eventually compel the govern
ment to remove or lower those bar.

THE BOYS OF TO-DAY.

Paper read by Prof G. f.. Blodgett
at the County Farmers Institute.
One of the questions the human
mind isaiways considering is where.
or what, NEXT 1t is the question
which recurs again and again as we
think of The boys Of today where
or what. will they be next? These
boys of today will De the men OF to-
morrow and what they will be. or
where they viii 90, might we'll be
answered in the words of conductor
on the Railway up Pixies Peak. He
had among his passengers one day an
old lady who was anxiously watching
the cog-rail upon which the car makes
it's climb up the long grade. Present
ly the sharpness Of the curves and the
terrible precipices So aroused her
fears that She appealed to the con-
ductor, 'slf these cogs break where
will gu?' .'Oht the cogs will hold
all right, he answered, but II they
should not, we have brake which
will stop US. {" Treasured she turned
to a contemplation of the grandeur
about her but soon She was tapping
his coat sleeve and asking .sIf the
brake fails where will l go2" Again
he calmed her fears by telling her that
there we're a dozen different appliances
any one OF which would hold the car
should the others fail. Tor a time
she seemed satisfied but creaking
trestle and q frightful chasm brought
her to her feet-"But, conductor, if
these all break. where will I gos''
Madam. he replied. that depends
entirely on how you have lived. >"
And SO what our boys will be tomor-
row depends upon how they have lived
today. The formation of right hab-
its is very important. 1t is related of
a small boy who had learned to say 81
have went" instead of 81 have gone''
that he had great difficulty in over
coming the force Of habit. His teacher
labored with him persistently, trying
to teach him to say VI have gone. ;"
Finally She threatened to punish him
if he used the wrong words again.
But bye and bye they slipped out in
spite Of his efforts to remember.
Johnny, you may stay and write Il
have gone one hundred times tonight
after school, she said. Johnny
stayed and began to write 81 have
gone, 81 have gone" etc. The teach
er was called from the room and de-
tanned for some little time. On her
return Johnny was gone but on her
desk was the paper with the phrase II
have gone" written one hundred
times and at the bottom Johnny had
written with a flourish ~ have went
home" 1t is question OF education
which we discuss tonight, the prob
lem OF preparation for living. We
are assuming that every child should
be SO taught that when he comes to
manhood's years he may know, real
ize and en-, the blessings amid
which he lives and at the same time
be so trained that he may intelligent
ly escape the evils and vices which on
every hand tend to destroy the happi-
neSS and Selviceableness of his career. !"
The attainment Of this end is not an
easy matter. The simple social condi-
