Like many other kind-hearted
persons, the late Mary Mapes Dodge
never could make herself believe that
organized charity was the only sort
that did good. She considered or
ganized charity rather cold. She
believed in the charity spirit, which,
she said. was best fostered by the
direct, personal contact of recipient
and giver. Hence she never refused
a beggar. And, defending herself
in this position one day, she narrated
a conversation that she once over
heard between two Maryland tramps
as they lay under tree on superb
afternoon. BILL" said the first,
why is it that poor people is always
willin' to help us, while rich folks
always turns us down." The other,
with mirthless laugh, replied:
Chem that don't mind giyin' things
away is the ones that stays poor"

A Car For Drunkards.

The most effective rebuke tt
drunken men lies in the refusal q,

siiied as a drunkard if he can help
it. If he can help it by no other
means he may even go to the extreme
of ceasing to get drunk.
Railroads running out of London
have put on a series of trains known
as drunkards' expresses, in which
intoxicated persons are carried, to
the great relief of the travelling pub
lie generally and also to the greater
convenience and safety of the drunk
ards themselves.
But the drunkard does not like to
be herded and labeled, aud it is said
that men who used to go home drunk
every night now dodge the obnox-
ious classification by going home
sober.
On every railroad where drunken
men ride the special car should be
provided for them. 1t is but proper
protection to decent persons who
wish and have right to ride in
peace.
The drunkards' car would never
be crowded. Men will remain sober
rather than be cut off from decent,
order loving people and thrust in
with drunkards.
For even the drunken man detests
and loathes a drunkard.-D Moines

as a consequence have a fire departs

LEADERS Of SEX. SAY
MEN ARE PROTECTED
Men Need Not Fear Invasion
Of Women Being Used Ex-
tensively at Work.
The Effort Should Be That Wo-
men Are Paid the Same
Rate as Men Are Paid.

NEW YORK, August Billet man be
comforted! Some of the brightest minds
among the women in New York declare
that w. L. Bodine, the Chicago statis-
tician, Is wrong when he declares that
men will pass from the face of the earth
Just as the Indians have vanished, and
that women will take the places of
their sterner companions as wage earn
ers.
These women state alphabetically that
the great growth in the number Of wo-
men wage earners during the past two
decades is an accident of the times,
and that as soon as women are paid at
the same rate as men for the same
work, conditions will readjust them
selves and the men will take the lead
as wage earners once more.
Such women as Gertrude Barnum, the
great labor leader and organizer, and
Charlotte B. Wilbour, the sociologist,
agree absolutely on these premises.
They declare that the present tendency
is temporary only. and that it will
change when women demand the same
hours and the same pay as men.
what Mr.. Bodine has said is true Of
the present" said Gertrude Barnum yes
terday. 1.-THE increase of women wage
earners has been enormous during the
last twenty years, and the condition is
likely to continue for some time to
come.

most implicit confidence and the
promptest and most loyal obedience.
He always holds the interests of the
men Of the department first in his
heart, and is always fighting to bet
ter their conditions and add to their
effectiveness. 1t is largely due to
his untiring efforts that the depart

ried through other work of equal diff
Guilty and Importance and was the
engineer of the construction of the
water works system, admitted to be
one Of the finest systems in the country
and one Of the best devised and execut-
ed. He is the enthusiastic student Of his
art and keeps abreast in every particu-
lar of every advance made in the. SCI
ence Of engineering and is of the high
est rank in his profession. He has had
charge Of many of the principal en-
cheering works Of the city and is reco-
gniZed as an authority on engineering
propositions. Mr.. McGilvray is a demo-
crat in politics, but all classes and all
POLITICAL parties admit he is the right
man for the position he occupies and
that no city has a. man who looks more
closely and ably after her interests or
who is better qualified for the position
they hold than he is for the position
Of city engineer.
There has been ample opportunity to
test his knowledge, skill and ability
during his incumbency of the office and
every year has added to his reputa-
ton and the confidence of the public.
Duluth is under deep obligations to Mr..
McGilvary for his efforts in behalf of
the city and his work will always be a
monument to his great engineering
ability. He is always gentlemanly,
courteous and accommodating in his
conduct of the affairs Of the office and
under his management the affairs Of
the department have been conducted
with economy and a high degree of ef-
ficiency has been developed.

public the best possible service at a
minimum of cost. He is a strong ad-

will assist III any way in reducing the

Duluth has been fortunate in having
the services Of a man who so thor

who is willing to give to his best for
the service Of the community. This
city is looked upon by ether munich
palities as one to be patterned after,
and the manner in which the water

the direction Of Mr.. Case is wei
known and is the subject of much fav-
orable comment from all sectors, and
has gone far to refute the arguments
Of those who are interested from sell
fish motives In wishing to maintain
the old system. Mr.. Case has many
friends in our city, both on account of
his ability as manager Of the COM

because Of his unfailing courtesy in
his intercourse with those with whom
he comes in contact. He is certainly
the right man for the position he
occupies, and has made a brilliant sue

county, and a man who believes in
the strict performance of his duty
at all times and under all circum-
stances, is Sheriff VIM. J. Bates, who

responsible office in 1904. Mr..
Bates is thoroughly acquainted with

served as deputy sheriff for years,

Since his election as sheriff he has
made a most excellent record. and
has we'll justified the confidence of
his friends in electing him to that
position. He is an active, energetic
official. who takes deep interest in
the affairs of his office, and who
keeps abreast of all Improvements
in the methods of dealing with pris-
oners. He is careful and economical
in the administration of the office,
and has won the esteem of all classes
by his excellent care of the prisoners
in his charge, and his humanitarian
methods. He does not look upon a
man who may have been convicted
of violation Of some law as a being
outside the pale of humanity, but
treats them with kindness and con-
sideration, and believes that they
are entitled to be thus treated.
Sheriff Bates is fearless cham
pion of law and order, and a man
who insists upon the .strictest bust
ness methods and necessary discip-
line amongst his subordinates, al
though he is not a believer in I'M
necessary red tape and by no means
a martinez, and is held in the high
est esteem by the subordinates in
his office and by all with whom his
business brings him into close touch.
He holds the interests of the public
as of first Importance, and all who
have dealings with his office may be
assured they will receive the most
courteous treatment, and that every
effort will be made to provide them
with any information they may seek,
or to give them any assistance they
may ask. @~

A notable instance Of what ability.
integrity and conscientious attention
to duty will bring to a man who
holds high ideal of his duty to the
public Is. shown in the promotion
which has followed the Official career
OF Mr.. G. H. Troyer, Chief of Police
OF Duluth. Chief Troyer has arisen
from the ranks, being appointed a
patrolman by Mayor Davis and his
position at the head of the depart
ment has been won by merit alone.
he was first appointed to thesposi-
ton OF Chief Of Police by Mayor
Hugo in 1902, and reappointed by
Mayor Cullum in 1904. He is ad-
mitted to be one of the best GRIMM
alogists in the country, and by his
energy, experience and knowledge Of
how to deal with the criminal class
has made Duluth one of the freest
cities from crime in the United
States. Professional thieves give
this city a wide berth, as they know
they will receive a warm reception
here, and that the knowledge DOS
sessed by Chief Troyer of themselves
an dtheir ways will make this town
too hot a place for them to stay in.
He believes in preventing as we'll as
Furnishing crime, and knows that it is
much easier to keep criminals and
thieves out Of the city than it is to
keep them from plying their nefar-
ious calling If they are allowed to
make it easy for the department.
