You who suffer with piles know what a
glorious boon ii would be to you to be abso-

actual experience that salves, ointments and
other local applications do not cure. You

BICYCLE RIDERS SHOULD PAY.

The riders of the bicycle appear to be
shortsighted in their opposition to the
increase Of price to one dollar a wheel
for the year for the privileges that they
enjoy. They simply cannot have what
they want without paying for it. A BIZ
cycle path out of repair is rather worse
than none at all. You can pick your
way with more comfort along an or
binary country read than you can ride
on a wheel path tracked and quilted
during the winter months and never
repaired. Either these paths must be
kept in order or they might as well be
abandoned.
This repair work is expensive. The
public knows all about it. The con-
struction and keeping up Of bicycle
paths is no new affair. A great deal Of
money must be expended on these ways
if they are to be smooth and comfort
able, or even fit for use at all. Now 1t
is up to the wheelmen to say whether
they are to have paths or not. If they
want them, they must put up the nee
essary funds to put the paths in good
condition and compel the payment Of
an adequate fee. You cannot eat your

LICENSING MUSIC HALLS.

The city council should, it seems to
us, proceed with great discretion and
with the strlctest care in the matter of
licensing concerts and dances in places
where liquor is sold. There are two
very grave abuses that connect them
selves in most cities, unless prevented
with the sale of intoxfcants. One of
these is the so-called wine room"
whose purpose is to bring the sexes to-
gether in surroundings utterly fmprop
er for such association; and the other is
the addition Of music and dancing.
which is intended and does lead to the
same end. Unless most carefully re-
stricted, either of these may become a
menace to morality and a disturber of
the public peace.
Neither of these is in anv nroner
sense an accessory Of the business Of
liquor selling. Those engaged In that
business who are wise and can see
farthest are most opposed to uniting
with it these other occupations that
only bring reproach upon it. Were it
not for such collateral enterprises as
we have referred to, the traffic in slim
ulants would not bear the stigma that
it does. The council should put the
severest restrictions upon concert and
dance halls in connection with saloons.
and not only make the license high.
but enforce a stringent supervision
and revoke licenses improperly used.

liberate overturning of the fundamental
principles of reform government.
Those who are endeavoring to better
public conditions are most disheart-
ened not by the evil disposition of the
people themselves, for they are honest
and true at heart, but by the ease with
which they are duped. Offer the aver
age voter an alleged privilege, and he
is as pleased as if you gave him title
of nobility Ask him to add to his neg
lected political duties one several times
greater than all of them together, like
the control of public utilities; tell him
that he is sovereign and that all
power, including the choice of the
smallest public official, should be in his
hands. and he is as tickled as child
does not see that it is the duty and re-
spOnsibility of his work which should
absorb and control the voter, rather
than the tinseI of his supposed prerog-
alive.
Put in the vulgar, but delightfully."-
expressive language of the street, one
of the assured resources of the shrewd
politician is his knowledge that if you
hold out something to the average
voter he can be, depended upon to bite
off more than he can chew. every time

AN ECONOMICALLY GOVERNED

Every resident of st. Paul knows
that under Democratic administration,
it has been we'll governed. The preva-
lence of order, the security of life and
property, the wonderfully small num-
Der of crimes of the gresser sort, mark
this city among the most fortunate in
the land in the conduct Of its affairs.
1t is no exaggeration to say that in no
city of it's size in the United States is
there greater freedom from disorder
and crime.
But these blessings, often bought at
a high price, often the mere bride
which political managers grudgingly
yield in return for unlimited opportu-
mites, are here secured without a price
For st. Paul is also an honestly and
economically governed city. The con-
dition of its finances is a matter of as
just pride as the condition of public
order. In this connection we call the
attention of voters and taxpayers to
some figures from the records of Comp
trOller Betz's office that appear in an
other column.
1t will be seen, from the official sta
tistics, that the cost of government in
st. Paul has not increased in the last
ten years, save in expenditures for
school purposes. These, with the in
crease of population, cannot be avoid
ed. But it is really amazing that, in a
time when the city was enjoying a
steady and solid growth, and when,
therefore, there was a demand from
every department and every interest
for larger allowances, the total expend-
iture has been kept down with so Wig
orous a hand.
The tax rate, indeed, has gone up;
but none but the ignorant will confuse
a rise in theNrate with an increase in
taxation. For our own benefit and in
our own interest, we reduced the Valu-
alton Of city property. To obtain the
same revenue, on basis Of taxation
diminished by O,O00 900, it was nee
essary to raise the rate. But the
amount Of money actually collected and
expended has scarcely varied. To have
combined such economy with the ad-
mirable administration that the people
now enjoy, to have provided for in
creasing population without swelling
expenses, and at the same time to
have maintained the city's credit high
is triumph for which those actively
responsible may well claim credit and
reward. We ask every citizen to read
the facts as stated from the records
dispassionately, and to draw his con-
illusions and govern his acts accord
ingly.

The effort of the Republicans to dig

their claims that Roosevelt has a walk
over. They know that with a con-
sentative opponent on whom the Dem

hard and doubtful fight. Hence they
cannot conceal their satisfaction at the
