A Sympathetic Ear.


When Whispering Smith rode after
Sinclair, Crawling Stone ranch, in
common with the whole countryside,
had but one interest in life, and that
was to hear of the meeting. Riders
across the mountain valleys met with
but one question; mail-carriers
brought nothing in their pouches of
interest equal to the last word con-
corning Sinclair or his pursuer. 1t
was commonly agreed through the
mountains that it would be difficult
matter to overhaul any good man
riding Sinclair's steel-dust horses, but
with Sinclair himself in the saddle.

chase was sure to be stern one.

Replies to Remarks of James Patten,
Who Had Discredited Figures of

Washington. April l9.-"There is suf-

of Agriculture Wilson, anent the Chi

Secretary Wilson's statement was
made in reply TO criticisms of j. A.
Patten of Chicago of the crop reports
of the department of agriculture. Mr..
Patten not only discredited the de-
partment's estimate of the wheat crop,
but said that the supply of wheat
was scareer than the government es-
Inmates showed.
The reporters of the department of
agriculture are farmers living on farms
and know, if anybody knows, and have
knowledge, if anybody has knowledge,
of the facts" declared the secretary.
"We cannot whistle these men down
the wind If we seek an honest class
or community ana hesitate to take the
words of the American farmers, we
will not establish truth by going to
the gamblers.
Most of the wheat has left the
hands of the farmers" continued the
secretary. "A fictitious price has been
created. The farmers are not benef-
Charles of such conditions; they will
naturally plant more wheat, and next
years crop is likely to be abnormally
large, when the gamblers will not be
in the market. and mischief will be
done by disturbance of the crop sys-
tenn"
After calling attention to the de-
partment's report which indicated that
the amount of wheat on farms on
March last was abont 100000
bushels, in round numbers, the secre.
tary states that an analysis of the
wheat movement after March l in
past years indicates that the yearly es-

MUST SHOW THE MAYOR
Mr.. HAYNES OF MINNEAPOLIS HAS
HIS VIEWS ON SALOON.
Proprietor Must Show That He Is
Realizing a Legitimate Profit
To Secure New License

| Minneapolis, April l9-Hereafter the
chances of a soloonkeeper going broke
in Minneapolis will be considerably re-
duced. Mayor j. c.. Haynes has de-
clared that he will veto any and all
saloon licenses submitted to him under
the recent ruling of the city council
unless he can be shown that a saloon
can be run at the place designated
with fair, chance of profit.
This ruling was laid down and ex-
planned when Mayor Haynes vetoed
a couple of licenses submitted to him,
One was killed under the rule for
merly promulgated by his honor, that
no license should be granted for any
place closed as disreputable within a
year. He declared that he believed it
/ would take any location about that
time to lose its bad reputation suffi-
GENTLY to permit decent liquor shop
to be there conducted.
Against the second license submit
ted to him, Mayor Haynes brought the
charge that there was little prospect
that a legitimate saloon could prosper
in the location named. He declared
that he did not believe that man
operating within the law could make a
living there.
Furthermore, he said, 81 never will
place my name to an applicatio
when l am assured by the police and
the license Inspector that there is not
1ao 10 70 haf. a
profit paying saloon business can be
conducted on the premises on a le-
Ultimate liquor selling basis. There
are too many saloons which are so
nard pressed for business that the sa-
loonkeepers and their bartenders re-
sort to all sorts of tricks to get money
from the customers.
Drunken men are allowed to shake
dice when they cannot even see them.
Of course they lose. A drink never
should be sold to a man under the in
fluence of liquor, and it is not done in
properly conducted saloons. But in
saloons where the proprietor is hard
pressed for money, all scruples are
thrown to the winds, and it is these
places which give many properly con-
Quoted places a name far worse than
they deserve. The tricks practiced by
the non paying saloon proprietors are
innumerable, and, as the city council
has empowered me to veto or sign
licenses, | am going to do all | can
to control the saloons and place them
on a proper basis"
