Voters will take notice that there
were three elections in 1907. II you
did not vote at the last one you
must register if yon want to vote at
the spring election, Don't be under
the impression that if you voted at
one or two elections last year that
you can vote this spring. The better
plan is to Call up or see Mr.. Frank
Moses the city clerk, You might want
0 vot 9 and it would be too bad to be
disappointed.

the magnificent campaign OF 1906,

receipts and expenditure of money
in said campaign, which should
be required to be done by law,

TIM FLOOD NEXT
ST. PAUL MANAGER

DENVER, March 14-Tim Flood or
Denver has been appointed manager
of the ST Paul team of the American
association, so he will likely play pail
again next summer. Flood had about
completed a deal to go into business at
ST. Louis when he received WORD OF
having a chance for the managers JOB.
AS that came his way, he gave up the
other plan Before leaving Denver ne
said to a friend:
II have been playing baseball Tor a
good many years, and should nave

win not sign again merely as a
nlayer. If the people up in st. Paul
complete the plan and offer HE the
managers job, l will be with them
next summer. Otherwise, it is al, over
for me with baseball"
Mr. Flood is one of the most capable
players that has been developed, having
FIRST visited Denver when he was d
member of the st. Joseph team of the
western league. He was afterward
married to a Denver girl, who died
some years ago. leaving him with a
Young son to train. The latter remains
with his grandmother in this city, and
Flood makes regular visits to see the
how. AS a ball player Flood was

WOMAN SHOPPERS ARE
GIVEN SEVERE JOLT
Real Estate Man Says They Usurp
Seats in the Street Cars.
Seeks to Solve
Problem

NEW YORK, March 14.-One man in
Chicago has taken upon his shoulders
a huge task. 1t Is involved in this
proposition:
Women shoppers should buy early
and get out of the shopping district be-
fore p. m. Then the working girl and
the toiling man could get seats in the
street cars.
The brave man, ~who proposes this
idea. is S. b. Mills, 1149 Washington
boulevard, a member of the real estate
board. At the boards meeting yester-
day be broached the matter. He is
dead in earnest, and he protests he is as
chivalrous as the next fellow, too.
Pleads for the Workers
Il have made a study of this situa-
ton for many years." said Mr.. Mills.
might after night have watched these
lazy women with their sprawling bum
dies march into the cars and take up
half the seats They seem to think the
whole car is theirs by divine right. II
poor working girl, who has been worn
to a thread by waiting on them all day,
manages to get a seat 1t is miracle.
"If a laboring man, heavy and tired
after his days work. doesn't rise to give
them his seat, supposing by any chance
he happens to have one, he is tmmed1-
ately regarded as a dolt and an idiot.
"1hese women ought to be driven out
of the district before the stores close.
The loop trains ought to be left to the
working people after o'clock. l don't
suppose anyone could drive the women
out. though
81 know some of them who couldn't
be driven out with double barreled
gun But let us try moral suasion and
coaxing and see if we can move their
selfish hearts and solve one of the
great features of the transportation
problem The ministers ought to
preach on this subject.
Gives His Wife Advice
what right have these thousands of
women shoppers to monopoliZe the
trains in this way? They fool around
all day when they ought to be at home
with their babies They sip chocolate
in some shop and gossip or munch
chocolate at some matinee. 1t takes
them half an hour to gather up their
bundles and get ready to go home, and
when they do start 1t is like the march
of a conquering army. They are the
ones who cause delay and congestion
and trouble.
"Now, my wife, who hasn't any
household duties to keep her at home
all day, often comes down town to shop.
She wants to meet me at the office and
go home with me, but l always say to
her:
,"'No; you go home now
"Why, 1 can get seat later she
says: go.
by driving some poor girl or man out
of the one that belongs to them right
fully
"The Wabash avenue stations are
crowded with women shoppers every
night at $50 and o'clock. 1t is a
pest, l say. When these women and
their bundles finally get distributed
over the warm, choice parts of the car
there isn't room for a messenger boy
to wedge in. You gentlemen all have
your beautiful theories of solving this
question, but here is a practical thing
that ought to be enforced"

SOCCER FOOTBALL
POPULAR IN ENGLAND
OTHER LANDS CLAIM SPORT AS
NATIONAL PLEASURE
Thousands Go to See Association
Games, in Spite of Rain and
SnoW-lreIand Holds
Championship

While association football doesn't
draw worth tuppence in Los Angeles
1t must be altogether different over on
the other side, according to what a
herald reader writes TO the sporting
editor. In addition to calling it the
most popular sport in the world, he
gives the following statistics in connec-
tion with the New Zealand professionals
in England;
Probably no sport in the history of
the world ever attained such tremen-
dous popularity as association football,
especially in England. 1t is also played
in the United States, Holland, Belgium,
France, Germany, South America,
Canada, South Africa, Australia, India,
ireland, Scotland and Wales.
1.-THE third round for the association
cup was played in England February
20, and here are a few of the largest
crowds which, considering that the day
was nothing short of tempest of
wind, rain and snow showers, are moth
ing short of remarkable: Astor Villa

Stoke, won by latter, 1915; Southamp-
ton VS.. Bristol Rovers, won by former,
$4,000. These figures are all from a
recognized authority, the Athletic
News.
England and Ireland have played
against each other for twenty-six years,
and Ireland's star has never once been
in the ascendancy, though they have
made some killing fights. The last con-
test took place about three weeks ago
in Dublic before a large crowd, England
winning by three goals to one.
'In Rugby circles the New Zealand
professionals have by no means been as
invincible as their amateur brethern
were two years ago in England. Their
opponents, the English Northern Union,
We're faster. stronger and cleverer than
the amateurs were, and the New zeal
anders were defeated on no less than
fourteen occasions. They entered the
competition fully expecting to have an
unbeaten certificate at the end of the
tour but they were laboring under to-
tally erroneous ideas as to the strength
of their English opponents
