THE LINE DRAWN ON
CONFEDERATE FLAGS

The two confederate flags which occupy a
place with the Minnesota flags in the old capitol
at ST Paul must not be carried in the honorary
procession flag day, June IA, when the old colors
are to be removed to the capitol.
This is the edct which has gone forth as the
result of a meeting of old soldiers and the G. a.
r. committee in charge Of the exercises, at
which the subject thoroy discussed.
The confederate flags are the property of the
Fourth Minnesota regiment and were taken from
the Thirty fifth Mississippi regiment at the bat
tie of Altoona. The old veterans do not believe
these flags should be accorded the same honors
as those Of the Minnesota regiments. The coin
mittee in charge Of the removal even believes the
captured flags should not be accorded place In
the bronze flag at the new marble state
house. -. .
Most of US would like to the Mississippi
flags returned to the south said one member OF
the committee to r h G ] ourn q l. but we
also know that the Fourth Minnesota will never
consent to this. At present, we believe the
best custodian Of the rebel flags is the Minnesota
Historical society,"

at the council meeting last evening by
the passage Of an ordinance introduced

and sidewalks will be moved back to

will be left between the curbs and

Having secured the passage Of this
ordinance, Alderman Walker gave no
tice of an ordinance licensing and regu-

of like character.
Alderman G.. A. Westphal IS automo-
bile ordinance made it's appearance, but
it was not as drastic as many expected.
The author has modified his extreme
views after comforting with the officers
of the automobile club. It's main fea-
lures are provisions limiting the rate
of speed within two miles of the bust
ness center to eight miles an hour and
requiring that the license numbers be
permanently and conspicuously placed
The measure was referred to a special

Bids for the new issue of courthouse

ers No hitch is expected anywhere

will require an additional $4,000, the
board has taken no final action on plans:

You'd this. T.
The commissioners find much oppo-
sition to using the rotunda in the inner
court for G.. A. R. hall or a convention
hall. There is, however, a strong senti-
ment in favor Of roofing over the pres
emit circular wall and fitting it up for
a branch public library, with delivery
station and reading room. 1t is argued
that there is not more convenient
point in the city for branch library
on account Of the large number Of city
and county employees in the building,
the daily presence of many attorneys
and school teachers, and the location
near SO many large office buildings.

KICK ON WATER BILLS
New Itemized Form Productive of Com
plants From Householders.

Kickers fairly swarm over the office
of the registrar of waterworks and his
entire force has been turned into an in
formation bureau to explain the new
form Of bills sent out. Unlike the old
form, the new system of bookkeeping
requires the bills to be itemized in de-
tail, whereas it has been customary in
the past to send simply statement Of
the amount due. The itemized account
was given on the receipt, but before the
water consumer had chance to ex-
anime it, the bill was paid and kicking
was useless. -....
The situation is vastly different now
and the property owners are more or
less disturbed over the items, which
they are now studying for the first time.
They protest loudly that they have not
had the use of the VARIOUS services
they are charged for and offer to prove
it, but get little satisfaction except to
see the inspectors reports. The most
numerous protests are against the
charge for sprinkling, which many PEG.
pie consider an imposition.
The new system of bookkeeping is a
nuisance to the waterworks department
at present and will continue 50 until
people are educated to it.

REQ Wins Honors.

Further particulars were received
here yesterday Of the sensational work
Of the motor cars on Pecowsic Hill, in
Springfield, Mass, on Wednesday, in
which more than twenty-five cars com
peted. The greatest surprise of the day
was the performance Of the new 16-
horse power REQ car, driven by F. Il.
Pratt. The latest product of Mr.. R. E.
Odds not alone took first prize in it's
class for cars from $1,000 to $1,000, but
it made better time than many higher
priced machines.
In Class G it negotiated the incline
of two-ffths of mile in 81 5 seconds,
or at the rate Of twenty three miles an
hour. There were five cars in this class.
The grade is from nine to twelve per
cent r. M. Owen, sales manager of the
REQ Motor Car Co., said today that with
the REQ Bird in track racing and the
stock cars in hill-climbing and endur:
ance runs, the product would be. well
represented in the various competitions
promoted this year to show the worth
of motor cars.

TWO RACES EQUAL
Japanese Says Yellow People Will
Share World Rule.

In the opinion of DR.. Toyokichi I've
naga. the Japanese professor in .polit-
ical science Of the University OF Chl,
cago, the yellow race is at least equal
with the white race In his closing
lecture Of the Stanley Hall course, at
the First Unitarian church last night,
DR.. Iyenaga made this claim. Fur
ther,,s said he, "the future rule Of the
world will be equally shared by the
white and yellow races.
The superiority Of the white races
over the black and red races he stated
had been proved time and again. In
every case where either .colored race
had come in contact with the white
race, the white had demonstrated its
superiority The present war between
Japan and Russia, tho, has been the
only contest between the white and the
yellow, and the yellow has held its
own.
| From this point he went into a COM
parison of the civilization of the two
races, asserting that the yellow races
| had advanced several stages upward
when the white races were still in saw
agerv. Moreover, he claimed that the
/ civilization of the yellow race has tend
1 ed to reconcile humanity with it's lot,
/ whereas the civilization of the white

REVENUE FUND SHORT
Yawning Void Now Fills the State s
Strong Box,

The general revenue fund of the state
today Shows a deficit Of SIC 900. This
deficit seems bound to increase for
months to come The last legislature
appropriated $645,000 to be available
before July 81, but failed to make any
provision for creating the sum- The
monthly drafts on the general revenue
fund are about 100000, and all it can
stand. The indications are that before
many months the state will have to bor-
row considerable money.
