Controversy

Let the old soldier get drunk. If
he can enjoy himself that way, let him
do it. If he wants to spend his pen
sion money that way, let him. He has
only few years more to live, and he
might as well enjoy himself that way

Robert G. Dunn of Princeton, candi-
date for the republican nomination for
governor, made this declaration Sat
urday night before a meeting of the
Union Veterans and Sons League. The
candidates had been invited there to
answer some questions, and one Of
them referred to withholding the pen
sion money from inmates Of the Sol
diers' home. This question called forth
the remarks quoted, and was RESPONSE
BILE for a sensation.
Judge L.. w. Collins, another candi-
date for governor, and himself an old
soldier, followed Mr.. Dunn. He re-
piled with some heat mo old SOL
der he said, will thank a man for
making such a statement. No old
soldier, even if he gets drunk, will APP
prove such a sentiment when he is
SOBER" Stepping to the front of the
platform, with dramatic effect, Judge
any one in the hall approved the SEN
timent. Altho it had been applauded,
no one accepted the challenge.
Mr.. Dunn in his speech promised to
do everything for the old soldiers, and
pledged himself to appoint one of
their number as a successor to the
present public examiner. He also de-
clared that he would stand by what
ever platform should be adopted by
| the republican state convention.
Judge Collins also answered all the
questions propounded. He said he
would enforce the law requiring old
soldiers to be shown the preference in
appointments, and that there should
never have been any necessity for such
a law. He was in favor of inmates OF
the Soldiers home retaining their pen
sion money, if the major part of it
should go to their families dependent
on them, and he would not veto a bill
requiring the board to turn over the
| pension money.
Speaking of the platform, Judge
| Collins said he would stand on it il
nominated, but he would never agree
/ to a platform repudiating Governor
Van SAINTS course toward the railway
merger.
Frank M. Eddy answered the
leagues questions by mail, declaring
| himself in favor Of giving the inmates
! of the home their pension money, an6
of the law giving old soldiers the pre-.
ference in office.

HAD HARD WORK
TO BUY A SHIRT.
ODD EXPERIENCE OF WALTER
THORP IN BALTIMORE.
He Says People There Are Too Busy
to Think of Fine Linen and 1t Took
Him Three Hours to Get Fitted Out.

Three hours steady walking thru the
busy streets of city boasting popu-
slation of 100000 in an endeayor to OBJ
tain an ordinary shirt of commerce,
when the price for said shirt was in
the possession of the walker, reads
Nights Tales, but it is the experience
ienjoyed last week by Walter II. Thorp
of the Fireproof Door company, who
returned last night from business
trip to Baltimore and Rochester.
Mr.. Thorp is possessed of other
shirts, but at the time he instituted his
search the visible supply had been re-
specimen. So he girded his loins,
placed his good feet on the Baltimore
pavement and started shirtward.
According to first hand information
he travelled three times around the
burned district before he found any
shirts at all, and those of his first find
were of the "73 cents, marked down
from 50" variety, so he passed on.
Finally he found a burned out toggery
man who had opened up in one-half
q sewing machine shop.
The man had twelve shirts of four
different sizes and Mr.. Thorp obtained
brown one for $3.50 at the end Of
three hours wandering.
People in Baltimore are too busy
to talk business he said, this morn
ing. 'The entire retail business and
office district was burned out and the
victims are opening Offices in all sorts
OF places and working twenty-four
hours a aday to get things going.
There is no talking Of quitting altho
many of the victims lost all their
property and their insurance and are
liable for assessment in insurance
companies in which they held stock.

as first described and most of the office
buildings will be in use again in few

POLICE SYSTEM NEEDED
A Movement on Foot to Introduce Con.
tlnuous Records.

A Movement on Foot to Introduce Con.
80 tinuous Records.
The Minneapolis police department Ia
perhaps the only municipal department in
a city Of the size Of Minneapolis in which
there is not kept a complete, continuous
record. This fact is deplored by the Off
GERS, but for some reason nothing has
been done 90 remedy the defect. Action
by the city council will probably be neces-
sary to remedy matters.
It Is said that there Is no department OF
the city government in which a complete
record would be so important as In the
police department. Every day reports of
stolen articles, men wanted, lost persons
and a thousand other matters are received
of which careful record would be al
most inva llable to the department. But
under the present system, no records are
kept. - II ;
An officer Of the department explains
this fact by saying that no definite system
of the keeping Of the records of the de-
partment has ever been prescribed and the
frequent change of administration mixes
things so completely that it is almost use
less to attempt to keep any intelligent rec
ord. It has been suggested that the city
council pass an ordinance which will pre-
scribe that the records of the department
be kept after a certain form and II
necessary to provide for the appointment
of clerk whose duty shall be to keep the
records. ,.r.-. ..-'.-.

SOUTHERN WRITERS WRONG
Opinion OF coIored Speakers as to Recent
. magazine Articles. =

Southern writer's on the negro problem
were discussed yesterday at the Young
Mems Sunday club meeting in st. Paul by
prominent colored speakers. The writer's
whose views came In for vigorous con-
demnation were Thomas Nelson Page, Mrs.
Eleanor, Taylor and Governor Vardman,
whose articles have appeared in recent
magazines. Frederick L. McGhee in re-
plying to Mr.. Pages articles charged him
with wanton Justification and denounced
the spirit Of them. Mrs. B. D. Turner de-
scribed Mrs. Taylor's article as too trivial
to be worth much effort at refutation and
considered the writer's statement that the
colored women were worse eff to-day than
in slavery days as evidence either of
prejudice or ignorance. Miss Clara How
ard showed the sophistical character of
Governor Vardman's argument that educa-
ton tended to make a criminal of the ne
gro, an argument based on comparisons of
northern and southern statistics, which
bases the speaker declared was SO unlike
as to make comparisons impossible
