United States can leave the territory
of the United States while president
The president of Mexico actually cap
not do so without a permission from
the Mexican congress. President
Cleveland was alleged to have left the
confines of the United States on sew
eral duck hunting and pleasure trips
along the coast, but he never ventured
beyond the three-mile limit unless
necessary to the safe navigation of
his boat. President Roosevelt made
two trips beyond the territorial limits
of the United States, once when he
sailed from New Orleans around the
Florida keys, and again when he went
to Panama last year and attended a
reception on the soil of Panama. Ex-
ccpt for the reception, which lasted
three hours, he was always under the
flag of the United States in his jour
neys.
San Antonio. Tex, Oct l6.-San An
tonic is already blossoming ont in
gay colors in anticipation of the ar
rival of President Taft tomorrow eve
ming. He is due at the Alamo City at
1880 p. m. and will remain here until
two o'clock Monday afternoon, when
he will leave for Corpus Christi to
spend four days at his brothers ranch.
During his stay here, the president will
have joint guard of Union and Con-
federatc veterans who will act as an
escort, heading all parades. From the
time of his arrival until his departure,
there will be almost continuous mu-
sic. On the night of his arrival, the
Third Field Artillery band will give a
concert in front of the hotel where
Mr. Taft will stay. The next morning,
when ne reviews the troops at Fort
Sam Houston, three military bands
will be in line. When he goes to the
chapel exercises there will be music,
and when he attends a reception a
military band will also be on hand.
Bands will accompany the president
to the city before he delivers his adj
dress at the Alamo plaza, and when
he returns to his hotel a twohour
program will be given.

tent forces in cur governments. In
MANY cities it is asserted that one of
the greatest means of support of our
public schools is the brewery. There
are serious minded people who believe
that were it not for the revenue de-
rived from the saloon in license fees
our school systems would deteriorate.
AS we'll expect to pick figs from thorns
is to expect schools to develop from
breweries.
The classes tainted by the traffic
are two. There is on the one hand
the so-called better classes, the re-
spectacle drinkers and the other
the common class. The first class
does not come under police surveil-
lance. 1t would emphatically deny
that it is menace to society.
"Then there is this great second
class, the common people those who
do not get drunk with their silk hats
and opera coats on. You have here
in Duluth many foreigners who come
here with meager means and are I'M
acquainted with our language and
customs. Is it not true that the en-
vironment to which they are driven
is that part of the city known as the
Bowery saloon district? They do not
90 there with the thought of drinking
or dissipation. 1t is because it is
their nearest approach to home. Here
for five cents they can obtain glass
of beer, and quantity of good food,
too, as can be obtained in our best
hotels and better than obtained at
our poorest restaurants. At first the
beer is only an accompaniment of the
lunch which they drink, because it
is given them for nothing, then it
becomes n necessity.
"In dealing with this class there
is room for us in field in which
there is no competition, neither from
churches nor missions-the problem
of restoring the man to his better
self and aiding him to a mastery of
himself Not by a repelant advance
of religion into his haunts, but by
patient social endeavors having for
their purpose the Improvement of his
home and the mental and moral de-
yelopment, not only of himself, but
of his wife, his son and his daugh,

TESTING THE NOSE COUNTERS
Census Director Durand Will Follow
the Plan Pursued in 1000.

Tie Ran 1uISucu III 1000.
Washington, D.. c., Oct. l9-Unitcd
State Census Director f. Dana Durand
stated today that the primary respon-
sibility for securing efficient enumera.
tors must rest with the supervisors of
the census.
SIT has heen suggested from time to
time" said the director, ''that more
efficient enumerators might be secured
by competitive examination open to
everybody. There is no doubt that if
the expense and time required were
not prohibitive, it would be advan-
tageous to hold such an examination
although it would be necessary, In
stead of merely selecting those whose
ranking in the examination was the
highest to refer all candidates VINO
passed to the supervisor, and allow
him to select those whose personal
characteristics, such as cannot he
tested by any written examination,
were most suitable The difficulty
with such an open examination is the
expense and delay involved. 1t is
probable that for the $4,000 places
there would be several hundred thou
sand candidates, and the grading of
their papers would require large
force for long time. At some future
census this plan might be worth trial
but it can scarcely be attempted at
the present census within the limits
of time and appropriations set by law

Duluth, Oct. l9.-That the church.
the prohibitionist agitator and the
rescue mission cannot be other than
signal failures in their efforts to allie
waite the curse of drunkenness in Du-
luth and elsewhere, if they persist
along present lines of action, was the
assertion of Rev. Bruce V. Black of
the Independent church in a sermon on
the economic sociological and moral
phases of the liquor traffic at the
Knights of Pythias hall Sunday even
ing
"You cannot remove the evil by
attempting to wipe. it out with legis-
lation,' said Rev. Mr.. Black. "You
may help the problem but you cannot
solve it in that manner. Neither can
the church nor the mission fiaunt re-
ligion in the face of the drunkard
and tell him. that unless he quits he
is externally damned. 1t is repellent
to him as it would be to you and me"
eve can learn many lessons from
the liquor interests that will be of
profit to us in our fight against the
curse" continued the speaker '"Fhey
have shown wonderful sagacity in
the spread of the traffic by getting
a hold on family life. In the saloon
with its family entrances, its free
lunches and music, the man with a
not only for himself
meager income finds congeniality,
not only for himself but for his wife
and his children. How much more clev-
er this, than the billigerent attitude
of your church or proh;bitionists.
'The ultimate solution of the prob
lem must come along lines such as
Jane Adams is pursuing in the Chi
cago Hull house settlement and such
as the Century club of Duluth is
instituting. I was glad to read that
this organization was to start set

to reach these people we must reach
their wives and their children as we'll

beginning, where it was brewed sim

until it is financed by gigantic cor
porations which maintain powerful lob

Prepare New Charter.
A motion was offered, that the COM
mission proceed to prepare new char
ter, following the commission plan
again, and this was carried. Every
member present voted for the motion,
except that one member made reser-
walton as to the commission plan, de-
clining to vote one way or the other
upon that at present.
A motion was made that the public
be invited to attend the next meet
ing of the commission, to offer sug-
gestions to the commission in regard
to the new charter, and this was car
ried. 1t was the desire that all per-
sons having suggestions as to what
ought to be in the new charter or
what ought not to be in it should be
present.
The commission devoted the remain
der OF the evening considering the va
riOus objections raised by different
people to the last proposed new char
ter, with the view of eliminating the
Objectionable features if there is any
merit in the objections. 1t is hoped
in preparing the new charter to make
it as unobjectionable as possible.
while retaining the saliant features
of the last proposed new charter.
These objections will be gone into
more fully at future meetings of tne
board. 1t is expected that fairly rapid
progress can be made in preparing the
new charter, so that it can be submit
ted to the people during the water or
early ina the spring.
Will Meet Again Monday.
The board voted to adjourn until
next Monday evening at 1880 p. m,
when the public is invited to be pres
ent with suggestions. The time to
eliminate Objectionable features is be-
fore the board submits the charter
to the council, for after that it cannot
be recalled for amendment. People
not interested enough to appear be-
fore the board ought not to fight the
charter afterwards.

The charter commission met last
evening at the city hall, pursuant to
call, to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
resubmitting the new charter again
or drafting another one. Nine of the
members were present, most of the SIX
absent ones being out of the city.
Chairman Palmer called for express
sions of opinion as TO whether the
new charter ought to be submitted
again in practically its present form,
and every member was in favor of
submitting it again, although several
offered suggestions as to how it might
be amended. Only one was in favor OF
modifying the commission plan, and
his suggestion was that the north and
south halves of the city each elect
two of the commissioners. Another al
so favored ward or district representa-
ton on the commission.
Letter From Attorney General.
Chairman Palmer stated that he had
written to the attorney general for an
opinion as to the power of the charter
commission to submit another charter
to the vote of the people at once, and
had received the following reply:

CHRISTIAN REVIVAL MEETINGS

From Tuesdays Daily
The revival meeting at the Chris
tian church last evening was more
than worth while. The audience was
earnest and enthusiastic. The sermon
was OH 'The Gospel as the Power OF
God Unto Salvation" Rev. c.. B. Os-
good said he preached because he be-
lieved that without Christ the world
would be lost. Paul saw men lost il
he did not preach to them. His zeal
was born of this conviction. The
church is slow to see men lost. Chris
tians must arouse to duty and carry
the gospel to their lost friend, brother
father, mother to all who have not
accepted the Christ.
This evening promises to BIO one of
the best. Rev. Osgood will preach on
",Jesus Is the Messiah"

this case the highest arc elected.
That such plan inhibits any sug-
gestion of sectional support or even of
sectional competition, must be evident.
The candidate stands before the people
for himself and for nothing else. Up
on his own merits he must succeed or
fail. 1t is an interesting phase of the
local question that in the election so
far held under the new charter there
were twenty-five candidates for the
four offices of commissioners and
twenty-nine for the four school direc-
