Bad Management All Around.
To the Editor of The Journal. ~

I not only vote that the gates on the
cars be taken off, but would also like to
state that it might be good idea for
the streetcar company to run more cars,
and then get trainmaster to superin-
tend the running Of them, as it is now.
when they are run at all, you will find
them in focks of from three to four
within a hundred feet of each other,
and then there will not be another car
along from thirty minutes to an hour or
perhaps trife less. If you. were to
get ON. each Of the cars in the flock and
ask the conductor if he was on time he
will tell you eyes.
I have seen almost all the streetcar
systems in this country and without
doubt the Minneapolis and ST. Paul
system is the worst managed in the way
Of running time on this continent. The
company has few good cars, enough to
run three or four in the forenoon and a
couple at 'clock. What is very much
wanted is cars, and then get general
manager who will get eme good old
Irish trainmaster to tear1 HE skin off of
those who are in charge df the cars, as
it is cinch that half Of the conductors
and motcr,ner that are trying to run,
could not read their names on fence,
to say nothing Of being able to tell the
time Of day when they look at clock.

articles written by people in favor Of

ballot. I am decidedly in favor of re-
tanning gates on all streetcars. In the
first place, gates are a, safeguard to

people would be getting on and off cars

Upon the disposition of test milk

ter their herds il they wish to market
their product in Minneapolis The ar
rest of the proprietors Of the Flour

spector Mccall, and the case will be
tried in municipal court Friday. They
are charged with selling milk from un-
identified herds.
If the health department secures q
conviction arrests by the wholesale Of
dealers selling milk from uninspected
herds will follow. In the meantime the
council will be asked to reinstate the
confiscation clause also, giving the de.
partment another weapon against Of
Tenders.
Outside shippers are beginning to
show signs Of complying with the ordi-
nance and are being urged to it by
their Minneapolis customers. Four
large shippers who were in the city to
renew their contracts with the Mime
applls Milk company were told that re-
neWals would be made only on condition
that their herds were regularly exam
lEed and registered with the health de-
partment. Other companies are cooper
ating in the same way and it is believed
that their influence will quickly bring
the "buckers'' into line.
At meeting of shippers held short
time ago in Faribault, resolutions OPP
posing the new ordinance were adopted
and the signers agreed to stand out
against it. This influence has kept
many shippers from signing, but it is
believed that all will swing into line
when they find that they cannot market
their milk in the twin cities without
fling inspection results.

Why He Doesn't Like Gates.


To the Editor of The Journal:
In regard to streetcar gates aglta-
ton, would like to vote very emphat-
ieally &C Yes, off with the gates.'' They
are hindrance and nuisance, and l
have three or four very good reasons
to my mind why they should not be
tolerated.
First-My two sons, IL and ,respec
lively, boarded an interurban car at
the Ryan hotel in St. Paul. When the
conductor came around for second fares
they told him to let them off at Bed
ford-t' city limits.'' AS the conductor
called EBedford'. they started back,
reached the platform to find the gates
closed and they unable to get off. The
car was crowded and the boys could
not make fast progress thru the aisle,
tieth, am not certain which, the boys
were going to get off, but the conductor
barred their exit with his leg, telling
them he must have a second fare or he
would take them thru to Minneapolis,
| thus forcing second fare from those
| children under a threat of carrying
/ them thru to Minneapolis, which was
an outrage. Possibly, tho, gates :. are
for these purposes Of forcing dimes ne
dividends of the Twin City Rapid Tran
sit company.
Second-I myself went to st. Paul
on Como Harriet car, rang the bell
| after the car started down grade on
Fifth street for it to stop on Cedar
street. A Lafayette and Grand avenue
car being ahead dropping passengers
on the off side, our car stopped before
crossing Cedar I again ran rang the bel
to let me off; but no; Mr.. Motorman
had to take me over Cedar and good
ways toward Minnesota street, com
polling me to walk back to city hall
If this is not unnecessary delay to cars
1 [ don It know what is. -
And again at Oak and Washington
last Saturday, a conductor rang thu
bell to start a. car from inside, the
:, motorman shutting the gates between
the third and fourth man, picking vi
three and leaving the fourth behint
for the next car.
These are not rare occurrences, but
are happening many time during on'
day, the instances being far too nu
merous to mention here, with hope
that we will soon get rid of them.

Presidents VS.. Congress.

Apropos of President Roosevelt g
fight for rate reform, some historic in
stances of the failure Of presidents to
gecure the legislation they sought are
being called up, It Is recalled, for ex-
ample, that Lincoln had reconstruc-
tion plan which was altogether repu-
dated by congress-; that President
Grant was overthrown by the senate
in his effort to annex Santo Domingo;
that Buchanan's effort to force the
1ecomptoni constitution on Kansas
failed; that Cleveland was done up by
congress In the very moment Of vic
tory on his tariff bill. ~"
These are some Of the presidential
failures. There are some singular sue.
cesses to record, however, such as

Sherman act from democratic CON

Should President Roosevelt fail tt

It would appear that the Cincinnati,

A Statistical Difficulty.

Ahout 346 times statement ike ILLS
has appeared in the eastern exchanges'
ttAs a. result of the closing OF the
saloons of Minneapolis on a recent
Sunday, 100000 Minneapolitans took the
electric cars to St. Paul and spent Sloo''
600 for Sunday drinks
This statement is one Of those inter
esting bits Of fiction which, according
to the proverb, is rapidly assuming the
cruise of a. great and rampant truth.
It makes no difference that there are
some little physical difficulties in the
way Of Immediately realizing the entire
trustworthiness Of this circumstantlal
account Of an important migration. 1t
makes little difference apparently that
in order to coneede the historic verify
OF this great utterance we must lind
that two out Of every three grown men
IN Minneapolis, two out of every three
heads of families, two out Of three male
quests from each and every hotel, two
out of three men, from the mayor to the
street commissioner. went to st. Haul
on this particular Sunday.
Nor does IL appear TO uldho any I'LL
ference that nearly the whole compile
ment Of cars of the street railway sys'
tenn must have been on that day run
between Minneapolis and st. Paul, leav'
ing all other lines bare. It would take
400 cars running at intervals of less
than two minutes apart and continuing
the process thru twelve hours to carry
this mass Of people to St. Paul. This
we believe accounts for about all the
cars the street railway company has
for Minneapolis.
A singular thing which invites at
tention and explanation is that on thii
particular Sunday there is no evidence
of such a hegira as is suggested by thu
absence from home Of two out of every
three able-bodied men, nor is there ever
a suggestion in the receipts Of the stree
railway company Of an abandonment 0:
sill other car lines except the interur
ban.
While we are bound to believe tina
The statement that 10000 men spent tn
day in st. Paul drinking up $4,000
there is a minor difficulty in reconci]
ing the fact with other statistics whic]
show that the homes, the hotels, tn
theaters, the churches all contained o.
that day about their usual complement
