GIVE ME- BACK THE DEAR OLD DAYS.
dedicated to Uncle Jimmie Day.


Gimme back the dear old days--all the boys in line
boy stood on the burnin' deck" an Bngen on the
Rhne,"
''Twas midnight in his guarded tent''-we spoke it
high and low,
While Mary trotted out that lamb ''whose fleece
white snow
Gimme back the dear old days that Memory loves keep
While pilot, it's fearful night there's danger on
the deep!''
The old-time awkward gesturesthee bow
We said that Curfew should not ring, but Lord its
ringing now.
Gimme back the dear old days-the pathway through
the dells,
To the school house in the blossoms: the sound of far
off bells,
Tinkn' crost the meadows: the song of the birds an
brook;
The old-time dictionary an the blueback spen book
Gone, like dream, forever!-A ety's hid the place
Where stood the OF log school house; an no familiar
face
Is smiling there in welcome beneath mornn' sky
There's bridge acrost theriver an we've crossed an
said ''Good-bye.''

PASSING OF THE YELLOW NEWSPAPERS.

All over the country yellow newspapers which few

and the same reliable paper is the only kad that is
increasing in circulation and prestige Such result was
inevitable The public for time might be attracted by
the novelty of large headlines and fake stories but in
time it must find that font of job type in headline
indicates no enterprise and generally lack Of to
run beneath it, and that paper crowded with deliberate
fasehoods is apt to be short Of actual It does not
take long to give the public all it wanted in yellow joura
ISM Now that style OF newspaper is on the wane The
American people, dispte opinions to the contrary want
a newspaper that is clean, reliable and honest.

OUTLINES "A NOVEL DEFENSE.
He Says the Defendant is Slave to
Morphine and Chloral and Intimates
That the Appetite Is Due to Pre-
Natal Influence Motion to Dismiss
Is Denied.

We will show you that the defend
ant is confirmed morphine tiend; that
he has been addicted to. the use of

fendant's BIRTH
opening statement made this morning
for the defense in the case against Axel

this contention, doctors will testify to
the defendant s drug, habits and queer
actions, and to the effects of morphine.
Other witnesses will tell Of Bostrom s

his guilt and told how he had spent the

The state rested and Mr.. Cary moved
to dismiss on the ground OF a variance
between the proof and the Indictment.
The motion was denied. The defense
believes that, in the event Of conviction,
it is certain of a new trial on this
ground. It's contention is that forgery
is charged but not shown, in that the
name Of J. L. Kruchie, Endorsed by
Bostrom on the bogus checks, was
proved to be the name Of the real per-
son. No evidence was offered to show
that the defendant was not authorized
to sign Kruchie's name and from the
PRESUMPTION Of innocence the defense In
sists that it must be inferred that Bos-

VOTERS LEAGUE OPPOSES
NEW BILL AND CODE PROVIDE
sFoR COUNTY COMMISSION OF
SEVEN. h. .'.s

The Voters league has set it's dis
approval on the bill by Representative
L. H. Johnson, increasing the number
of county commissioners in Hennepin
county to seven. The bill is wanted by
the country districts, because it will
give them two members, one for the
north and one for the south district.
1t will also give an extra commissioners
to the city, carving a new district out
Of the fourth ward. " '....'
The league has made new discovery
in the revised statutes. The CODE, on
page S8, provides that each county shall
over $4,000 population, which shall have
seven. This is exactly what the John
son bill does. except that it also in
cludes Ramsey county.
The section in. the new code refers to
the old law, and also to chapter II of
the laws Of 1901 It assumes to be a
condensation Of the old law, and says
nothing about new matter, but in con-
densing the 1901 law it has left out
some very essential provisions. The
s. conv a1d f &as the G2a%n
as not to apply to Hennepin or Ramsey.
It not only requires that the county
should have $4,000 population, but also
an area of 5000 square miles. Like
Cinderella s little slipper, this meas
ure could fit just one locality; that was
ST.. Louis county. The law also pro
vided that the increase from five to
seven could only be made upon a petit
ton signed by rs per cent Of the voters
Of the county.
!. All these restrictions were lost in
abridging the code, and two county
commissioners were added to both Hen
nepin and Ramsey counties. The Voters
league. will now bend it's energies to
amending THIS section of the, revision. !.

WHOM HOSPITAL
SHALL TAKE IN
MooTED QUESTION NOW BEFORE
BOARD OF G. g. q.
Associated Charities and Humane So
ciety Present Case of Man Who Was
Denied Admittance Until Mayor
Jones Ordered It Others Will Be
Presented - Issue Is Sharply Defined.

Before a special meeting Of the board
of charities and corrections this after
noon, the historic dispute between the
city hospital and the various humane
and charitable agencies was discussed.
AS the city hospital authoritiese view it,
the institution is maintained for the
needy citizens whom it can benefit, and
is not a permanent inflrmary for pa,
tients beyond hope of cure. Acting
on this theory the physicians have
found it frequently necessary to, turn
away needy case for which admission
was sought, in order to reserve the over
taxed facilities Of the hospital for those
in their Judgment, better entitled to
consideration. 1t has not been ques.
needy ones, SO much as sending them a
to the other agencies maintained by city
and county for their especial benefit.
With the charitable agencies, it is
sufficient to know that any sick per
son has been turned away. This was
the situation which called for today Is
conference.
I have a strong feeling against stirring
up any sort of fight, said E. D. Solen-
berger manager of the Associated Chart
ties, this morning, but think things have
come to such pass that it is necessary.
Dozens accused the charities of neglect
ing the Laba family. AS a matter of fact
we had nurses visit them twice day and
employed a woman to take charge. There
was no place where a nurse could SLEEP
at night and the man was suffering
fro mparalysis which the attendant doc
tor had said might be fatal at any mo-
ment. We reported the case to the city
hospital, but the authorities refused tc
take him, saying that it was an incurable
case and that they had no room for such
cases. I then made a statement to the
mayor out of self-defense.
Why should the city hospital be so full
that it cannot take case when our doc
tors have pronounced it serious? Surely
the visiting nurses and the forty-fivt
physicians who cooperate with the
charities save the city hospital innumer.

to take. We never ask it to. take an in
