Common Citizens Letter

To the Editor of The Globe:
In answer to your public question
what Is the matter with ST. Paul?" /
would respectfully state that the geo.
graphical situation of our fair city cannot
be beaten She is beautifully enthroned
on series of cream -colored cliffs that
eternally. guard the majestic Mississippi
that flows forever to the fathomless sea
Ike the great river of time to eternity.
Beautiful surroundings is a good. proper
and natural desideratum, and if equal
rights, privileges and protection be grant
ed 10 all its citizens then we have indeed
an ideal city. but if any of those things
are lacking then social disorder and dis
satisfaction manifest themselves; city
is divided against itself and its natural
growth and prosperity is retarded, and the
poratlon was created by the state remain
unperformed.
In your progressive paper many an
sWerS nave been given by leading citizens
10 your query, What is the matter with
st. Paul? Good suggestions were given
as TO how to make the city more beautiful
ana all Its inhabitants happy and pros
porous. In former ages the red man smok-
ed the pipe of contentedness and peace
where now our city stands, whose inhabi-
meals. and where the Indian formerly
pitched his tent in the unrestricted free
dom that was his under the natural law.
the white men came like Caesars legiOnS
in days of old to the Isle of Britain and
usurped the red mans territory by right of
force, and from the Indian mounds. where
SiSSp lLlelr departed braves. TO the 1alr
falls of Minnehaha. that laughs at tyranny,
the white man with Roman military pre-
cision has plated every foot of soil in
military squares. and says to every free
born son of liberty and freedom: These
squares are reserved, and thus far and no
farther shalt thou come on this our sacred
military soil girded with an iron rail and
guarded with the selfish sentinels of the
Twin City Rapid Transit company. who
imagine that city ordinance is superior
to the city charter. and think that So
called illegal vested rights are superior
to the constitutional rights of American
citizens.
One distinguished citizen rushes TO your
print and 'hopes that the city, through
its eminent counsel or legislative body,
can arrange or agree upon a plan of set
tlement whereby the city would not be
hampered and left in the state it is now"
He feels that the common council can
settle the matter by making demands upon
the city railway which st. Paul has a
right to make. and that would be of
greater benefit" he says. than a decision
rendered by the supreme court"

Must Enforce Charters

In answer to that declaration of opinion
l suggest that the municipal servants are
solemnly bound by their oaths of Office
to enforce tho mandatorial spirit of the
present and past charters OF the city and
the constitution of the sovereign state of
Minnesota, against any and all parties, ir-
respective of any ordinance or Illegally
centralized interests of any person or per-
business within this municipality.
He informs us further that the Twin
City Rapid Transit company bought 40
acres of land with the view of centralizing
its power and property. This>centralizae
tlon of power and wealth Is what the
common citizens do not like Instead of
the centripetal power, will you. Mr.. Edi-
tor. please give us a little more of the
centrifugal force. for where the centrif-
ugal power ceases then the evil of the
centripetal force falls upon the masses and
they become encoiled in the mercileSs grip
OF the anaconda that cruSheS everything
within its grasp. If there is to be CEN
tralized within this municipality power
that claims an exclusive right to use all
the streets of st. Paul for street railway
purposes, then deny that the legislature
of this state, or the common council of
st. Paul, have the right to grant such
monopoly to any one.
/ challenge the street railway company
to establish to the satisfaction of the
judges of the supreme court of the United
States that such proposition of law or
compact is binding upon the citizens of
St Paul. If there is to be a centraliZa
ton or exercise of the centripetal force
by any public service corporation. then
wish to go on record as stating that the
majority of our citizens prefer that the
menacing power of Capitalization be CEN
traliZed in the municipal authority so
that every citizen may have voice in
the management thereof and be empower
ed to register a kick" with public

ARRESTED FOR SWIMDL|Ae
G. r. MEEkER, OF WALLA WAlEA,
TURNED A CLEVER TRICK
IN PORTLAND.
cashed Bogus Checks Drawn on First
National Bank Of This City
Nov in Jail.

G. F. Meeker, alias j. G. Marlowe, is
under arrest at Portland on charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, having succeeded in cashing
bogus checks drawn on the First Ma
tional bank Of Walla Walla to the
amount of 1925. Meeker is supposed
to have lived in Walla Walla, as his
mother, Mrs. Margaret Meeker, re-
sides at 11O3 North Ninth street.
When arrested a letter partially writ
ten and addressed to her was found
on his person. He also had ticket
from Walla Walla to Calf, Cal, with
the name of ]. J. Fenwell signed to it.
Tuesday Meeker went to the real
estate office of F. T. Barry in Portland
and represented that he wished to pur-
chase some land there. During the
day he and Barry visited several sites
and one seemed to please Meeker, who
said he would buy it. He wrote out
check for the first payment of $500
when they return to Barry's office,
and later said he wished little change
and wrote another for $125. This he
asked Barry to cash, and aroused
Barry's suspicious, but ne sign it and
it was cashed by the Wells-Fargo
people.
Afterwards Meeker purchased a
complete outfit of clothing and Barry
got busy communicating with the Of
ficials of the First National bank of
Walla Walla. They said they did not
know Meeker; that he had no funds
there. Barry then traced the alleged
swindler to the depot, where he was
placed under arrest bya detective.
