Old-timers in Minneapolis will re-
member that George A. Bracket was

a real reform, as it was also the first
one attempted in the young city Of
Minneapolis His chief. Of police was
Randall W. Hanson. Hanson. had pretty
strict notions himself and being, more

structions to the letter with the result
that the gamblers and women Of the
town, who were not caught in the big
raid gave Minneapolis wide berth as

town. o..

in East Minneapolis, which that year
had abandoned it's old name of st. An.

magistrate and others. Chief Hanson
was appointed in the spring and re-
signed in the fall, having no particular
liking for police work.
The First Big Raid.
The chief event Of his reign was the
first big raid pulled off by the police in
the city, and it created a genuine sen.
sation, for it is talked of to this day
The sensation was due to the large
number Of well-connected people Wht

success of the affair was due to the
fact that the Illicit venture did not II

Our Failure In Japan.

There is a widespread delusion that
the rise of Japan means the beginning
of American trade ascendency in the
Orient. Official records. however
show that our exports TO Japan have

COAL ON ADVANCE
eituminous Product Goes Up Is
Cents in One
Jump.
RISE ACCOMPANIES CHANGE
Shot Firers' Law Turned to Benefit oil
Operator Instead of Miner and
Consumer.

On the first day that the weather
really had semblance of winter, the
cheerful news was spread about that
the wholesale price of soft coal had
been advanced % cents a ton. taking
effect this morning. Proportionate ad-
vances are to be made in the retail
prices. The wholesale dealers set forth
the shot firers' law and the shortage of
cars as the reasons for the advance
in the prices of coal The short
age of the coal cars has resulted in a
shortage of the product. and it is ex-
pected that with the colder weather the
shortage will continue.
Theory and Practice Differ.
The practical working of the much
talked of shot firers' law passed by
the last legislature as the operators
have seen fit to apply it, has resulted in
reducing by large percentage the out
put of the mines. The bill, as is gen
orally known, provides for the en-
ployment of shot firers where charges
of two pounds or more of powder are
used in the mines. and further provides
that the mine shall be cleared of all
but the shot firers at the time the
charge is fired. this in the interest of
humanity. Under the old regula-
ton the miner worked during the day.
and on finishing work at night. set the
charges and fired them himself on his
own time. The law, il was expected.
would simply require the company to
provide the shot firers, instead of the
miner doing this work on his own time
In the new practice the operat-
ors employ the shot firers. who.
instead of doing the work after
the miners have concluded theirs,
clear the mines considerably ear
lier, and thus reduce the working time
of the miners. This results in a great
reduction of the output of the mine.
Students of economics can find in
this an interesting question. 1t would
seem that the law, intended to benefit
the miner, has. by the method adopted.
been made TO benefit the operator at a
cost to the miner and the consumer.
All of which suggests that more leg
islation in the interest of the miner is
in order. and incidentally affords
strength to the argument for public
control

MAYORS SIGNATURE
CLOSES PUMP DEAL
Delay in Transaction Proves Gain to
City in One Respect If Mo- in
Others.

The pump purchase incident now
seems TO be complete. with Mayor
McCaskrin's signature TO the
contract and ordinance. This &C
ton has occasioned no great surprise.
as it was anticipated since the time of
the astounding declaration of a certain
alderman that he would cut of his arm
before he would vote for the Snow
pump. The delay. however. has been
fruitful in that the city's interests are
better protected than if the hurry-up
pan of the combination aldermen had
been adopted The people may not
have learned as to the need of such Il
pump, but they have discovered that
one has been bought.
