Two important changes are expected
in Minneapolis Methodism incident to
the fall conference. Rev. Dr. P. 4.
Cool is slated for presiding eldership.
The vacancy thus created in the Fowler
church pulpit on Lowry Hill will be
filed by call to Rev. DR.. J. S. Mont
gomery, pastor Of Trinity church, Dem

Authentic reports from Denver indi-
cate that DR.. Montgomery will resign

Minneapolis to accompany him and Mrs.
Montgomery on a trip abroad, begin
ming in September. Return from this
trip will be in November, about the
time that the Colorado and northern
Minnesota conferences will have COM
pleted their work and appointments.
Ever since the departure of DR.. Mont
gomery from Wesley church, a pulpit
| years, rumor has been busy predicting
his ultimate return to Minneapolis.
These stories were denied, but the Sc
rious effect of the high altitude on the
health of the former Minneapolis pas

DR.. Montgomery has given continued
test Of his will power in overcoming the
nearC d1InculCy aroused DY the Gn1n air
and is now going into the mountains
for two months to discover whether,
with absolute rest, he can become ac-
climated. However, it is said to be al
most a certainty that, with the eleva-
ton of DR.. Cool, Wesley's old pastor
will again take up church work in this
city.
Last Tuesday DR.. Montgomery was
again in serious condition. On Fri
day he denied that he had resigned.

pointments. They did not drop any
private business, but gave freely of
their time when nacessaryall but the
vice chairman Of the commission.
Unfortunately, scrutiny Of his bills
forces the conclusion that Mr.. Seabury
had different idea of his relation to
the state. His bill is framed to get
every possible cent, altho even in its
total it. is small thing to a success
full business man, and not worth quib-
bling over, except for the precedent
and principle involved. If Mr.. Sea-
bury cared anything for, the honor Of
heading the commission which built the
beautiful capitol, the honor was his
main compensation and the So day
a mere bagatelle; but the painstakine
termination of the bill is not consistent
with such standard. If he was work.
ing for the honor, he would have added
to that honor by donating his services
to the state. If he cared nothing fol
the honor, but for the cash, then S. 9
day was high price for his services.
All other considerations aside, the
items in the Seabury bill, most OF
them, are improper charges to the state
and any official who would approve
such charges must stultify himself.

Mrs. Stevenson brought with her an
elaborate wedding trousseau and a
9-year-old daughter, who was to form

When they met, the ardent wooer
found that she was tongue cited. But she
was pretty and stylish, and he wanted
a wife. So he was ready to marry.
She, however, pronounced him too
slow, and said that he looked like a

A Wrong System.

The Tribune is afraid that Governor
Johnson's act in holding up Charming
Seabury's bill "will shock the sense
of fairness and decency Of the whole
state' The first visible effect Of this
shock seems to have been felt in the
/. Tribune office, where there exists a
fondness for condemning graft in dis
tant states and cities and condoning
similar transactions at home
The real shock to the public came in
the publication of certain items from
Mr.. Seabury's bill, which evidenced a
petty system Of charging for some
trifing service on every working day
Of the year, and thus drawing con
tinuous per diem. The state has been
charged So for "hearing an applicant
for Office another SIS for mailing
a contract and another SIS for econ
ferring with Senator Horton, pending
legislation; in other words, for lob
bying. In following out this system,
the st. Paul member of the commission
has drawn all the pay from the state
that it was possible to get for several
years past.
The Tribune condones this on the
I ground that Mr.. Seabury 1thas given
the state business service Of high ca
pacity.;o No doubt he has, sand if the
legislature had provided regular an
nual salary for him, no one would have
begrudged it. The legislature did moth
ing of the kind. Its conception Of the
capitol commission was body Of in
dependent, public-sp spirited citizens, who
would give "a portion of their time to
supervising the erection of the capitol
for the honor of the service. The com
pensation fixed did not pretend to pay
for the service rendered It was so
fixed in order to prevent too great a
share of the capitol appropriation from
being expended on salaries.
With this understanding the mem
beers Of the commission took their APP

O. K. THE PARK PROJECT
THE NORTHEAST IMPROVEMENT
LEAGUE ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS
FAVORING IT.

An enthusiastic meeting of the
Northeast Improvement League was
held last night at Loyalty Baptist
church, 1920 Central avenue. W. A.
Gulick was elected chairman in the abb
sence Of President DR.. c. A. Kelsey.
There were present about 150 repre-
sentative Northeast men. The princi-
pal topic for discussion was the pro-
posed park bounded by Twenty second
and Twenty-third avenues and Jackson
and Quincy street NE, commonly
known as Long John pond. The fol
lowing resolution was offered by P. G.
Deming which, after considerable dis
cussion, was adopted unanimously:
Resolved, That the policy Of securing
small parks for beauty slAts and breath
ing places in the midst of what are to be
densely populated districts, when the
same can be done at small cost, is hereby
approved.
Resolved, further, that we commend
the movement to secure for public use
the block of land bounded by Jackson and
Quincy streets and Twenty-second and
Twenty third avenue NE, with the un-
derstanding that the annual assessments
for the same shall not exceed IS to rs
cents per lot and that the expense of
improving and maintaining the same shall
not be taxed against the property but
shall be paid out of the general funds of
the park board.
The meeting was harmonious thruout
and those present were convinced that
all talk Of graft, deceit and underhand
methods had no place in the park deal.
Several signers of the petition opposing
the purchase were present at last
night IS meeting and, after hearing the
arguments, voted for the foregoing
resolution.
Several other subjects of interest
to Northeast residents were taken up
and disposed of. A vote of thanks
was given to Loyal Baptist church or
chestra for the music furnished by
them during the meeting.

Getting at the Root.

Mayor Weaver and his director of
public safety are getting at the root
of the graft in Philadelphia. It is in
the colonization of voters and the in
vention Of phantom electors whose
votes were duly cast and counted for
the gang. In one election precinct, out
of ninety-three names registered from
the homes of policemen and fremen,
sixty-four were stricken off as soon as
it became known that the mayor was
about to investigate the poll lists.
Policemen and fremen came to the
registry office and began crossing names
off with eagerness, giving lame excuses
about movings and absences from the
city, until it seemed as tho the pre-
Some not having the nerve to come
themselves, sent their wives or their
children with lists of names to be re-
moved. -.- -.-<@
For years the Philadelphia gang has
been carrying the city with fake votes.
The total vote has been about in the
right proportion to the population of
the city, which leaves the inevitable
inference that thousands of bonafde
citizens Of Philadelphia made no pre-
tense Of performing their political du-
ties. They were disguised, tired and
discouraged. Their WEAKNESS has cost
them many millions in crooked con
tracts and more in the disgrace of filthy
government. But it has it's offset now.
The people of Philadelphia are mad
enough to stay awake for several years.

Boston has been redeemed. Lawson

The Case of Caleb Powers.

The attempted removal of the Caleb
Powers case from the state to the fed
eral courts is based upon the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution and the
statutes passed as a machinery for the
enforcement Of it's provisions. The con-
tentions of Powers are that he has
been deprived Of his rights under the
fourteenth amendment in various ways
Principally he has been tried by juries
from which men were excluded because
they were republicans. This was de-
NAL of the rights guaranteed to him by
the constitution. z@ e.u.
The dark tragedy Of Kentucky poll
tics dates to the campaign for the gov
ernorship between Taylor and Goebel
six years ago. Taylor, the republican
candidate, had 5000 majority on the
face of the returns while the demo
Gratis had carried the legislature. The
democrats instituted contest before
the legislature which quickly resulted in
a partizan report seating Goebel. Be
fore he had secured the possession Of
the office, however, he was shot dead
while walking on the capitol grounds.
ing and this is about all that is known
about the killing of Goebel to this day,
tho twenty men have been indicted for
connection with this murder, two con-
victed Of completely and sentenced to
hang and another is serving life SEN
tence.
Powers, who was the republican sec
rotary of state, has been convicted
three times of the crime and has spent
five years in Jail awaiting his numer-
Gus trials. The last effort to save him
| is being made in the federal courts.
Taylor, the republican governor, was in
dicted and fed to Indiana, where he
has since resided, protected by the re-
fusal Of all governors to honor requisi-
lions from Kentucky.
The democratic theory on which all
these prosecutions were based was that
of huge republican conspiracy to kill
Goebel. and steal back the state Offices.
The weak point Of this theory is that
| the killing Of Goehel could result only,
as it did result, in the democratic lieu
tenant governor being sworn in and the
republicans being prosecuted. II the
| republicans had at their head man
capable of rational conspiracy, he
would never have planned the killing
Of Goebel. From his viewpoint that
act was fatal to his plans. The charges
against Powers have a gauzy history
The facts are that he was in Louis
vile when Goebel was shot and that
there was no one in his Offices in the
capitol at the time. This fact, so fa1
from helping Powers defense, has
proved almost fatal to it. The prose
cution peopled his office with perjurers
who swore that Powers hired them tc
do the killing, and relied on the fact
that there was no one there to make
this testimony impregnable. It was i'm
] pregnable until the perjurers began t.

Governor Johnson is reproved by the
Pioneer Press for his refusal, to approve
Charming seabury's bill against the state
for miscellaneous services to the capitol
commission, There seems to prevail in
st. Paul a feeling that whatever Mr..
Charming seabury puts in a bill for he
ought to have. His status as a favorite
son In st. Paul is simply great and the
governors failure to appreciate Mr..
Charming seabury at the st. Paul esti-
mate is incomprehensible to some peo-
ple
