Starting on trip down the river to
ST. Louis on a bicycle boat three st.
Paul men met bad luck at the very out

They had no sooner reached the cur

propelling bicycles, was thrown from
his seat and sank below the surface
several feet from the boat His com-

ried rapidly down the stream while he
struggled to keep on the surface
Maher, also carried by the current,
managed to hold his head above water
most of the time, though he sank oc-

George Garrow, of the ST. Paul Yacht

The immediate work IL, hence, not to
prove the existence Of such evils and diff.

for them. The remedies must not be
simply to destroy existing bad condi-

temporary rclief--but they must pro.
vide something better to take the place
of what is changed. The imposition OF
severe penalties win not end industrial
evils We must find and remove their
cause, leaving only the extreme or ex
ceptional cases to be dealt with by Grim

The government should secure means
for fair business competition, freedom
from unjust discrimination, such public

agement as will disclose real financial
worth and methods, should provide
jurisdiction broad enough to meet exist
