is the gist u a written opinion just
delivered TO the city attorney OF
Crookston from the Office OF the at
torney general OF Minnesota.
Complaints had been made in
Crookston about the circumference OF,
and obstruction OF streets In the city
by shoe-shining stands, peanut and
popcorn roasters, bicycle racks, porta-
Bile restaurants, etc, and to test the
matter a complaint was filed against
the mayor with the attorney general
which was tantamount to asking the
removal OF the executive for not en-
forcing the ordinances. The mayor
justified himself by the permits grant,
ed by the city council for the main
tenance Of different kinds OF stands.
The attorney general holds that the
council has no authority to issue such
permits and that Is supported by a
stringent state law. The opinion says
for one thing, control OF public
streets Is vested, generally speaking, In
the council and the governing body of
your city but this does not authorize
ing OF space on the streets or side
walks in front OF business houses for
use by produce dealers or other mer-
chants, or for shoe shining establish
ments; such use of the streets and
sidewalks is unlawful and constitutes
a nuisance per Sc"
II also cites the following from an
opirion handed down by the supreme
court in the case Of Chapman VS.. city
OF Lincoln:
"The public have a right to use in
its entirety, and free from any OBJ
structions, the space in the public
street and 1t Is the duty of the mayor
and city council to see that sidewalks
and streets are kept unobstructed"
The attorney general says II is OF
no particular concern how the matter
Is solved, provided II is done expedi-
tiously. The nuisance must be abated
or his department must proceed against
the mayor for not enforcing the laws
OF the city. Local attorneys say that
the opinion settles for all time per-
picking question which frequently faces
municipal authorities.

SERMONS AND SLEEP.
a Comforting Theory In Regard 1
nn-inr, 4. Ch..rAk

A Comforting Theory in Regard TO
Doing in Church.
Dayton News: The French scient-
lists are the most ebnsoling people In
the world. They are always working
outsone explanation that AFFORDS con-
ISOLATION. Here comes one woth a
will be a relief to both pastor and
sleeper.
According to the French psycholo-
gist's theory, persons are inclined to
"dozen in church because Of the de-
vout attention they pay to the services
eIn endeavoring to fix every word In
the minds they put themselves into a
sort of trance" 1t is about the same
as what IL called self hypnotism, and
the more closely one follows the min
lister the more likely he Is to find him
self unable to remain awake.
For d good many years the pert par
agarphers have had great deal to say
about church sleepers. and usually the
preacher has gotten the worst OF the
argument. All manner of devices have
been suggested by the humorists as
aids to lengthy sermons, even to the
placing of electric needles In the cush-
ions to awaken the sleepers at the
pressure Of a button by the minister.
But now that the inclination to slum-
Der in church has been accounted for
upon purely scientific grounds. the
remedy for the evil win probably be
abated in practical way perhaps by
encouraging the employment Of pas
tors who are incapable OF holding ones
attention at all.
