Mayor A. A. Ames of Minneapolis, who was
recently convicted of receiving brbes and sentenced

Mayor A. A. Ames, of Minneapolis, who was
recently convicted of receiving bribes and sentenced
to six years in the penitentary, on Monday ae.
quilted by the supreme court OF that state The
conviction was made on one out of hundred
charges that might have been brought against him
and accused him of receiving 5000 bribe. The
acquittal was made on the technical ground thai
the sum of 5000 had not been collected in lump
sum, but had been made up Of small amounts. As
if man who robs you of 500 could not be con
victed, because he proved that he took five $2e
pieces. This was the outcome of one of the most
degraded, the most brazen systems of blackmai
and municipal corruption that people have evei
been called upon to witness There was no pre-
tense made that the rascal was Innocent. The
crime proved and admitted. It is up to the
Supreme Court of Minnesota to make an expla-
nation. The American people have the right to
ask what this means; and they are rapidly reach
ing state of indignation when they will demand
it in tones that will command attention. High
above every law, above every technicality, stands
the grand immutable principle of Justice-and
Justice must be satisfied

The Board OF Directors of the Lewis and Clark
Fair have discussed the matter of opening or clos
ing the gates on Sunday, and the decision arrived
lat is almost unanimous for open Sunday. But
one of the directors was in favor of closing the
Fair that day. The clergymen of Portland
have to face the undeniable fact, however deplor.
able it may be, that IS per cent. of the people of
that city will not 60 to church. Are the people
who represent this IS per cent of population less
law abiding than those who are demanding the
closing of the Fair Sundays? Are they not
principally the small property holders and work
lngmen-meu whose taxes have contributed largely
to make up the donated to the Fair by the
state. Does not the church property of the city
amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars on
which no taxes are ever paid, thereby increasing
the taxes of the people generally? 1t is the money
of the non church goers that has made the Fair
possible. If our church going friends such
stickers for municida purity and personal honesty,
let them first do their share in supporting the gov
ernment that affords protection to their property.
At present they simply ''beggars, standing on
the highway of progress asking aims of industry
and courage, and claiming the right to rule the city
they refuse to support Is it not patent fact that
the gambling hells, dives and dead falls of the
north end are wide open every Sunday in the year,
and that many church people are parties to the
condition of affairs, because election day they
vote for the same candidates that these dives are
boosting? 1t is good and desirable thing for all
to try to make the world BETTER but you anagonize
the people you wish to serve when your efforts are
all precept and no practice.
