Hennepin Parkway.

When is a boulevard not bou1evardR
This is the question before the council
and the park board. The park board
says it is when a pretended boulevard
is used for heavy teaming and general
delivery purposes. In this contentious
it is supported by the dictionary.
Originally a. boulevard was rampant
Of a fortifcation or fortified town.
Hence it became public street or walk
which took the place of a demolished
fertilization. Now it is applied to a
street which has been taken. over by
park board, which is of a special width,
which is given a park appearance by
reserve spaces for trees and shrubs on
the sides or in the middle and which is
not used for heavy teaming.
Hennepin and Lyndale avenues were
taken over by the park commission, and
an endeavor was made to give them
park appearance, and SO far as Henne-
pin avenue is concerned an effort was
made by the park commission to pre-
vent heavy teaming. This, however,
was unsuccessful, since Hennepin ave-
rue is the successor of an old territorial
road and the people had the right to use
it for business purposes for long time
before it was parked. The effort to
make it boulevard and make light
macadam do for paving has failed
partly because of the heavy hauling
over it and partly because the park
boards agents do not seem to know
how to make a road.
The park commission would gladly
relinquish both streets, ard perhaps it
may be allowed to let go of Lyndale
avenue, but as to Hennepin avenue
there are legal complications. The peo-
pie along the street gave the park board
land off the front of their lots for the
boulevard in consideration of being re-
lieved from special assessments. This
would have been an equitable bargain
had the park board been able to carry
out it's purpose to reserve Hennepin as
a parkway. This has failed, and the
park commissioners are face to face
with the problem Of keeping up as a
boulevard road which is one of the
main arteries Of traffic and which re-
quires a business-lilze paving.
| The taking over of these streets was
a mistake for which the present park
commissioners are not responsible. They
see the absurdity of. maintaining Hen
nepin as a parkway and would gladly
escape. It is to be hoped that the coun-
Gil and park board may be able to get
| together in the matter and adopt some
plan which will relieve the park board
Of a task which is impossible Of accom-
| plishment.

pirate botanical remarks about insur-
ance grafters.

then he made the grand rounds as a trus-

from two to four hundred dollars in his

gave to politics and the evening to max

It is not unnatural that this should be
so. He does things because of neces-

also, and nature is his music teacher.
Hence he does and thinks, and then
sings Of what he has done and thought.

The New Democracy.

The friends of William j. Bryan make
no secret of their expectation that they
will control the delegations from the
great central and western states in the
next democratic convention.
The new democracy is to have as it's
slogan many of the issues which the
president is trying at the present time
to settle without recourse to a cam
paign. The new democracy gives him
credit for trying to settle the rate ques-
ton, but opines that it will never be
settled until it is settled right, and
doesn't see how it can be settled right
without the great William j. having a
hand in the negotiations
The public ownership Of monopolies
is also tenet of the new democracy,
and a few weeks ago it was ready to
scrap with the republican or populist
parties if either should attempt to claim
any share in the usufruct of this trans
cendent gift to man Of the all-wise Will
liam ]. But since the mayor of Chi
cago has been unable, to make a foot
Of Roadway toward municipal cars, and
since the country has: learned moro of
municipal ownership abroad, it has been
possible for both republicans and popu-
lists to speak above whisper on this
subject without being sued for infringe
ment. p S....... a- .
The new democracy would be 10th to
have any citizen, not labeled democratic
or new, share in the credit Of any dis
| covery in government which is of use,
it being understood that all such dis
coveries were pre-empted in advance by
their peerless leader, but if there are
any failures going, ordinary citizens
may come in and claim their share Of
the responsibility. '.-. - -..- W..

democracy will go forward with the

cit is necessary, if we expect to rep

change our church language. OF course
there can be no one to whom the mother
tongue is not dear, but on the Other

English language will supersede al

OUT FROM SHOULDER

Rev. H. B. Taylor Of the Universalist
church, st. Paul, yesterday fiayed all
classes Of society in a sermon directed
against the evil influences of gambling.
The subject of the sermon was "The
Favorite Sin of St. Paul" It is need
less to say that he meant the city and
not the saint. When Rev. Mr.. Taylor
finished his sermon he had scored gam
bling, from the slot machine which the
children play to the quiet game OF
bridge whist of their mothers
He described gambling to be one of
the most insidious vices because some
so-called learned men have sought to de-
fend it and many so.called Christians
countenance the playing for small
stakes in their own homes. If the sin
Of gambling lies in excess, Rev. Mr..
Taylor asked if the sin of thieving lay
in excess, or the sin of getting drunk
rested only in getting drunk once in two
weeks9 He declared that the founda-
tion Of our social system would be
wrecked by the small stake game, that
gambling was the cause of most Of en-
bezzling and the spirit of the get-rich.

Train Bearing Speaker Clague and Rep

from Winona and Mr.. Anderson s
Guests Had to Hike, -

A quartet of the most prominent
members Of the house of representatives
had "tie passes' into Winona Satur-
day evening.
They were Frank Clague of Lamber-
ton, better known as "Mr. Speaker;
w. B. Anderson Of Winona, chairman
of the judiciary committee; w. H. Put
nam of Red Wing, chairman Of the
committee on railroads; and Carl L.
Wallace of Minneapolis, chairman of
the committee on taxes. -
Mr.. Anderson had invited the three
other gentlemen to spend Sunday with
train was within sight of Winona short
ly after 6 o CLOCK, it suddenly came to
a stop.
"What g the matter9' was the gen
eral inquiry.
Freight train off the track between
here and Winona DEPOT was the an
swer. A monument base had slipped off
f1atcar and derailed one of Mr.. Rock.
| efeller's tank cars just behind.
1.-The shades of night were falling
fast,' and Mr.. Anderson and his party
decided to walk toward the city till
they struck the end of the street car
line, as it seemed the train was to be
delayed an indefinite time. So they
careful to step from tie to tie, for it
was raining and the "betweens'' were
deep mud. It was walk of mile and
half, but under the existing difficult
| ties it seemed much further.
1.-The railroads ought to have their
taxes raised for this,'' said-well, il
wouldn't be fair to say just who did
make the remark.
here should be bill introduced to
compel all passenger trains to carry au
tomobiles in their baggage cars to &C.
commodate passengers in just such con
t1ngencies as this,' was the remark
from another source.
When within about half a mile OF
the point where the streetcar track
crosses that of the railroad, a car was
seen approaching. Streetcars on the
Winona line are few and far between
and the prospect of having to wait al
the crossing in the rain until another
| appeared was not cause for greatrre
lolclng on the part Of the lawmakers
Suddenly from the rear charged 8
youth. He was long of limb, and il
was soon evident that he would catch
the car.
s'Wish he'd hold the car till we cal
get there,'' remarked Wallace.
At that moment Speaker Clague
spled the t1eet ones rubbers sticking
IN the mud between ties. Holding then
up ne yelled frantically. The owner
who had just hauled himself on the
rear platform Of the street car, Grub
beredn and saw his propert y. He
s ssa the bell rope. The car stopped
again, and soon the moist and mud--be
sspattered quartet of lawmakers was or
the streetcar, spinning on the way te
the Anderson residence.
1t is understood that Representative
Putnam is to introduce bill soon &
reduce the taxes of the Winona, street
railway. Carl Wallace is going to move

OF the rules, and Mr.. Speaker will Sc,
that any parliamentary regulations thai
interfere are brushed aside.
