MILESTONE JOHN
is LYING AGAIN

The Cooley aud Emmons conglomer-
alton persist in lying about the facts
that our railroad transportation was
taken away from rs because of the re-
cent railroad anti-paSs law. For the
benefit of our readers we will say we
had railroad mileage on all the rail-
roads entering this city for the years
1905 and we have it now for 1906. Mile
stone Johns statement t. the contrary
notwithstanding. We believe he could
not tell the truth if he wanted to.
He appears to thrive upon deception
and falSehood and every thing that's
UNCLEAN and INDECENT. We have
favored the gate question ever since
the accident on the St. Paul Ry. oc-
cured about three or four years ago
when one man was killed and two or
three injured. This is the only rea-
son why we have been in favor of
gates. Flagmen of course are better
than nothing, and we are glad to
know that the council at least favored
fiagmen, and hope that this service
will be adequate. Milestone John
persists in miSrepreSenting our posi-
tion and motive on all questions, and
we make this explanation for this rea-
son. Whenever we have occasion to
say anything on this question in the
future. it will always be in favor of
railroad gates, because we believe
they are the safest device to guard
against railroad accidents on railroad
crossings.

BAKING POWDER AGAIN
Alum Goods That Masquerade as
High Class" Powders.
Retailers' journal, Chicapo,

In previous analyses we have shown
that the 25-cent alum baking powders
are imposition, ,Iboth On the consumer
and the retailer, as the difference in
cost of manufacture of 10-cent alum
baking powder and a 25 cent one is
not more than one cent a pound.
There is the Calumet baking pow
der, an alum powder with about one
CENTS worth of phosphate added to it.,
and which .retailS for 25 cents. 1t is
not worth more than 10 or IL cents,
which we showed by analysis. In order
to sell this powder at all they are now
preparing premium scheme aud are
going to give away hairpins and other
cheap trash that may he attractive to
the eye and cover up their transac-
tions. They can well afford to give
Is cents worth of goods with every
pound of baking powder they sell.
If alum baking powder is used at all
10 cents is a reasonable price, as alum
costs only two cents a pound. which
leaves the!manufacturer a fair profit.
While we know that cream of tartar
baking powders are sold at higher
prices than others, we also know that
chemically pure cream of tartar used
in the higheSt-grade powder costs at
least twelve times more than alum.

ASSESSMENT OF PROPERTY

William T. Jones the newly elected
assessor for the city of Grand Rapids,
has established his office temporarily
in the office of The county superintend-
ent of schools in the court house so that
he might be handy to the register of
deeds office where he could look up the
title of the lands in this city. We are
pleased to announce that Mr.. Jones is
making correct description of every
piece Of land or lot in the city and
using his best Judgment in the equaliz-
ing of property as he sees it. When
he gets through with his assessment
we have reason to believe that every
mans property will be properly de-
scribed, and the assessment of the
value will be as accurate as Mr.. Jones
can make it from his knowledge.
Then the assessment roll will be
placed in the hands of the board of
review who will verify or correct his
assessment as to value.
Reader if you know of any inaccur-
acy in the assessment of or in the
value of your property now is the
time to call upon the assessor and
state your grievance. Mr.. Jones is
anxious to eQualize and make a fair
cash value assessment of all property.
Now don't neglect this and then kick
when you are paying your taxes.

OSHKOSH COUNCIL DEMAND
SAFETY GATES

At the meeting of the council this
evening considerable important busi-
ness will be transacted. The ordi-
nance committee will submit three
ordinances which were drawn up by
City Attorney Cowling. These
ordinances provide for safety gates at
the grade crossings.
One ordinance provides that the
Wisconsin Central railroad shall erect
safety gates where their tracks cross
Otter street and the other two that
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad
shall erect safety gates where their
tracks cross Otter street and WiScon-
sin avenue.
The ordinance provides for a 6ne of
not less than S25 or more than 800 for
each day after thirty days from the
passage of the act, if the gates are
not installed. The general sentiment
is in favor of the ordinances.
City Attorney CowlIng was inter-
viewed by a Chronicle reporter on the
subject this morning and he said:
"The state legislature while it has
been doing good work collecting taxes
and making uniform rates for the rail-
road companies has overlooked the
VI lie,
which ought to be one of the first
considerations.
Heretofore the only provisions for
gates has been by resolution of the
city council and this is simply
temporary arrangement with NO
penalty attached if the railroad
company does not put up the gates.
1t is believed that the ordinance
which will be put before the council
this evening is the only effective
remedy for preventing the loss of
life.'-
From the above article published
last week in the Oshkosh Chronicle it
will be seen that other cities are in
favor of saftey gates and published
ordinances with penalties Herewith,
for noncompliance after a given
period. The city council of Grand
Rapids at their last meeting expressed
their opinion by their action that
fiagmen were equally as good if not
superior to the safety gates. Perhaps
they are. We shall wait and see what
the results will be. We hope no life
will be lost while we are waiting.

BOTH GO TO ASYLUM
Son Loses Reason in Task OF
Caring for His Insane Mother.

La Crosse, Wis, May 4.-After
guarding and caring for his mother,
Mrs. Mary Leonard, for more than
five years to save her from an insane
asylum, Harry Leonard has lost his
reason in his task and both have been
sent to the state hospital at Mendoza.
This is a peculiar and sad case. We
have had two similar cases in Wood
county where one member of the
family became insane, and the excess
i've strain and the constant association
and care by the other brought insanity
as in the above cited case. 1t goes to
prove that it is not always wise to
care for their kin in any kind and
class Of disease. The influence of one
upon the Other is very evident and
has been for many years.

more time. can be given to subjects

6, there being already organized five
auxiliary groups of bankers in this

BONAP4RTES POSITION.
He BekeUes Al La7cs Should Be
ImpartiaNy Enforced.
From The Tribune Bureau.i

Washington Dec. 13.-Secretary Bonaparte
who was yesterday confirmed by the Senate as
Attorney General, to-day effectualIy disposed of
the allegation that he would not be in sympathy
with the Presidents antitrust policy by dictat-
ing the following statement:
I believe all laws should be obeyed without
evasion question. and that all who do not
obey the law should be impartially and inffeXibly
punished according to the law. This is the only
statement Of my views which think appropriate
in this connection.
When asked if he would say anything about
the statement alleged to have been made by him
TO the conference which met in Chicago in 1899,
Secretary Bonaparte said:
The speech is mythical, but think it likely
the quotations accurate, although their
tions to which they respectively answers.
The facts remember them are that the COM
mittee or other organization which got up this
conference Gust what il was do not recoecO
sent around circular 10 a large number OF per-
asking them 10 answer a number Of printed
questions l received one Of these circulars, and
also an invitation to attend the conference. L
did not go. but think wrote out replies to the
several questions, and what seems to have been
published as my views remarks on the occa-
sion must have been these answers without the
questions.
It is regarded as a striking evidence Of Demo
cratic faith in the President that the members
Of the Senate who opposed the confirmation of
Mr.. Bonaparte because they feared he would
not prove in sympathy with and effectually carry
out the Presidents policies were all members
Of the minority.
