WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
Compelled to Write.

To the Editor of The Journal.
Judging by the actions of the park
board, one would think the Lord made
a great mistake in making anything but
elns. While I am fond OF elms, as !
am of all the infinite variety of trees
with which we are blest, it becomes
horribly naonotonous to have every street
in the city lined with them.
Then, too, they have more insect foes
than other trees. When the worms were
SO dreadful few years ago, they only
attacked other things after they had fin
ished the elms. It is certainly time to cur
tail the powers of the park and health
boards If we want even remnant OF
liberty left.
When I was a child one Of our great
est delights was to go to the woods and
gather wild flowers, and We knew where
and when to find each one. Our children
are denied all that; for the park board
has control of everything as far out as
Minnehaha. Yet the children might just
as well have the liberty Of the fields fol
at least another generation.
OF course, there is some land, belong
ing to private parties, where they nigh
still gather flowers, but some officious
park policeman is likely to arrest them.
I never wrote to paper before; bu
felt compelled to by my love of libert!
and nature. --.= ... e. D. H.

Better Sanitary Laws Needed.

To the Editor of The Journal. -.r
I note in Fridays paper the article re-
ferring to the unsanitary condition Of the
postoffice building. What is true of the
postoffice building is also true concerning
every public building in the city, if not
the entire state.
The reason for this arises from two
causes. First, the custodians are not med
ical men, and while doing the best they
know how, fail to furnish relief; and Sec
Ond, while we have a state board of
health the law gives them no power to act
except in extreme cases. Just as in the
case of our building inspector-he could
suggest and recommend, but the law gave
him no authority to enforce his demands,
however urgent they might be.
Go to one of the custodians with a sug-
gestion for relief and not being chemist
or medical man. and never having seen a
micrObe, he has no way of knowing
whether you tell the truth or not, so he
goes back to his soap and water =
The legislature at this session should
require that all public buildings be kept
disinfected, and failure be made punish
able by fine, or even imprisonment Te
enforce this law an inspector should be
appointed who is an expert, and to whom
complaints can be made.
The state board of health as now consti-
tuted, is little better than a toy affai,
to reward partizans Of the successful
candidate for governor. AS an illustra
tion-the man appointed as purchasing
agent for the state board of control las
! year was neither a druggist nor chemist
AS he was required to do the PURCHASING
for some seventeen state institutions, in
Guiding hospitals, schools, etc., the farce
of such an appointment will be readily
seen. -
The board of education of st. Paul ha!
on its list standing sanitary commit
tee. but last year the secretary told m,
that the committee had never done an,
work, and he doubted if it had ever hell
a meeting.

and deodorize building than to merel,
clean and scrub in the old-fashioned way
if the custodians are up to date as t.

Nothing that has come to my attention
in many months has been so shameful
as the condition which existed after the
performance, at the Metropolitan opera
house last night. I live out on NicolIet
avenue, and therefore take the First ave-
nue. line home. At 1O:45 my wife and i
left the home of friend and walked to
First avenue and Twelfth street to take
a car. We stood on the corner in the
bitter cold for more than fifteen minutes,
and no car came. Then we decided to
walk down First avenue and meet it.
Block by block we moved along, watch
ing for the car and suffering not little
from the cold. At several corners we
saw. groups Of men, women and children,
shivering, waiting. My wife and walked
the eight blocks to the Metropolitan
operahouse, and there found eight out
bound cars lined up, the motormen leis-
urely awaiting the pleasure of the hun
dred or more cabs and sleighs which
crowded First avenue from Third to
Fourth streets. Five of these eight cars
were damned full Of people, eager to get
to their homes, but they waited, as the
hundreds of other persons, too poor to
have their own splendid equipages, wait
ed on cold corners all along First avenue
and Bloomington.
It seems to me that Minneapolis suffers
too much from its street car service
This service is lauded to the skies, and
to one who has travelled it is for no other
reason than we have unusually big cars
Within two years I have visited many
cities from New York to Seattle ano
seldom have seen street cars move more
slowly or more infrequently. And today
the announcement is made that the Twir

a big surplus over it's dividends. Small

Gettysburg should be read by all In the
state, and its recommendation carried
into effect without fail. But let me add
one more recommendation. There are a
number of the forty-seven who survived
that charge still living. One of these
forty-seven, now living at the Soldiers
home, gets $12 a month, having had only
SO till the present year. He has been
working for me occasionally for some
