PURCHASED NEW
DELIVERY WAGON

G.. S. Beardsley one of our enter
prising east side grocers purchased
a very smart looking and up-to-date
delivery wagon from a Fond du Lac
firm recently, which he is now max
ing daily use of in conveying the
purchases of his fast growing patron
age to their homes. The box of the
wagon is covered with a water and
dust proof top so that parcels are
entirely protected from dirt and
moisture in case of rain while be-
ing delivered. A steel rack is at
tached to the rear and just below
the box large enough to convenient
ly hold two five gallon cans of kero-
sene oil so that this article will in
no way come in direct contact with
the groceries or other eatables which
is so often the case in the ordinary
wagon. A collapsible buggy top is
fitted on to the seat to protect the
driver in case of rain. The rig is
nicely painted throughout and the
owners name and phone number con-
spicuously displayed. 1t is really
one of the most conveniently ar
ranged turnouts of its kind in the
city.

Have you been paying. your Vine
street benefits? How do you like iJ?
It's good, but it comes high. The
principal is right, but the equity is
unfair when you look back over the
action of the common council in other
matters of a similar character, where
the property owners were given the
benefits without paying for them.
If the Common Council would adopt
this method and continue it in all
cases the people would enjoy equity,
but they have never done so in the
past.

There are few meu better qualified
for the really important Office than
Mr.. Jones. He graduated from the
university in 1882 and has taken an
active interest in its affairs. He
taught in the schools of Wisconsin
/ for several years and since he took up
the practice of the legal profession he
has continued to take an active inter
est in educational matters. He has
been president of the Wausau school
/ for fourteen years, and 1t is due large
~ TO his Initiative that WauSau has
today one of the best school systems
in the Northwest.
Mr.. Jones is not only we'll qualified
for the place by reason of his interest
in educational matters but will bring
to the discharge of his duties a very
valuable administrative experience.
He possesses executive ability of high
order and he is along all lines a praeti-
cal, sensible man. Ii is felt that his
appointment will be lust recorni-
tion of bis unusual ability and if
appointed there is no doL bit in minds
| of his friends that he will render a
| valuable service to the University and
| the state.-Wausan Record Herald
The many old time friends of ID, G.
Jones. in this city join in the request
that he be appointed to membership
! on said board. His education and
; qualification especially fit him for
such a place and Gov. Davidson could
look long ways for better material
than that which Mr. Jones is cut out
of. His friends in Grand Rapids hope
the Governor can see his way clear
to make, this appointment.

Nearly all the taxpayers who own
property within 1000 feet of Vine
Street have been Directing, and pay
ing said tax under protest, which has
been assessed against said property
as benefits to said property by the
opening of Vine Street. The objec,
ton to the tax is on account Of the
fact that this method is the first
time that the city of Grand Rapids
has taken this method of raising
funds for making such Improvements
Heretofore they have always paid
for them out of the general fund.
They now insist that Vine Street
should be widened and the improve
ment paid for out of the general fund
as has been the city's custom in the
past. In this respect we agree with
them. The construction of the drain
age ditch on the west side, the con
struction of new roads through pri
yate property of general nature
have always been paid for out of the
general fund. Why make this al
exception? We would now suggest
that settlement be arrived at with
M. A. Bogoger for the opening Of
Vine Street and that said land be
paid for out of the general fund and
that every tax payer who has paid
an assessment for benefits be re
funded their money. This would be
equity and justice.

THE WOMEN AND THE NEW
TARIFF MEASURE.

OF course, the Ways and Means Com
mittee didn't do it Intentionally Per
ish the ungallant thought. But, oddly
enough, it did manage, in increasing the
duties on articles which it classes as
mainly Injuries" to pick out mar
velously high proportion of articles
that belong especially and peculiarly
TO the domain of woman.
The attitude of the ladies toward the
new measure may prove interesting.
1t seems that the new arrangements
for determining proper valuations, and
preventing undervaluations which in
the past have kept the duties down To
minimum, are going 10 be especially
Informative as against Germany and
France-the countries whence come
most of the things for women. On the
whole, then, the ladies seem to be in
for a period of solemn contemplation
Of the national tariff policy. We hope
they'll enjoy their studies of it.
Uncle Sam must have more money,
and it is right and proper that luxuries
should bear the increases. But are
women's gloves Injuries? Or women's
stockings? 1t may even be right TO
increase the tax on them. But is it
right to refer to them as luxuries
That's the question.
Millinery dinguses-hair ornaments,
hat pins, aigrettes, ostrich and other
feathers. furs and funny things made
of furs and feathers-these are all in
the luxury list, and get increases in
the rates. Why not put in fancy vests,
derby hats, and galoshes above No. 7
size, as luXuries, and let the men pay
some of tbs luxury tax. 1t doesn't
suffice to sly that the men pay it, any
how; they don't always, in this day
of money-earning women and business
Tor everybody
The women were credited with do
ing most of the real damage to the
Republican party in the great tariff
campaign OF 1890, when the Repub-
licans, following the passage Of The
Mckinley bill, were turned out of con
troll in the House by a most emphatic
majority. That bill seemed strangely
fatuously, aimed at the women; and
when the women figured out what il
would do TO their monthly allowances
they lined up the voting members of
their families, and election brought a
fearful shock
Let it be hoped that the ladies win
lot, this time, undertake any cru
SADIE, at least till they are sure whether
she Senate viii take the view that
gloves and stockings are ''luxuries."
