PROTEST AGAINST THE MONEY
POWER; WHAT Mr.. DAVIS SAYS
Third Minnesota District Congressman Declares That He and His
Associates Are the Real Simon Pure Republicans; State
ment That Is Sizzling Hot

from any source can read him out o.
the party on whose platform he stands.
Statements have been made that
the progressive or insurgent Republic
ans are opposed to President Taft's
policies. T. is noteworthy that these
Republicans stand and have stood in
the past COR constructive, progressive
legislation 1t was this element in the
Republican party which consistently
stood for and urged the enactment into
law of the Roosevelt policies. Those
Republicans who now assert that the
insurgents oppose Taft's policies were
against the Roosevelt policies until
forced to support them. 1t would be
unreasonable and illogical to assume
that the insurgents, who have always
favored th3 progressive legislation Of
Taft's pI edocessor now should oppose
such legiSlation.
The iusurgent asserts that vital
principle in representative government
is at stake and that this is paramount
to party solidarity. The issue as re,
cards the continuance Of Cannonism
and Aldrichism as an obstruction to
The enactment of laws beneficial to the
people as whole is vital and takes
precedence over party solidarity.
The insurgents believe that until
this principle in representative govern
ment is thoroughly re-established and
CaGnonism and Aldrichlsm made a
thing of the past the will of the peo-
Dle will be thwarted."

Chicago, Jan. 26.--Following the an
nouncement that Mrs. George II. Bern
hammer, who is known on the stage
las TriXie Harris, has brought suit
against her husband the author of
My Wife's Gone to the Country,
Hooray, Hooray,' charging him with
abandonment, comes another sensa
tiOnal announcement.
1T is alleged that the fair Trixic
somewhat peeved at the jubilation of
her worscr half, as expressed i'll the
popular song, has been doing some tall
thinking, with the result that she has
produced Il ditty entitled "My Hus-
bands Gone TO the City, Hooray,
lIooray." Bernhammer-whosc song
writing name is George Whiting-is
expected TO come back at her with
another lyric ballad and spirited
warfare is likely to result, with songs
as weapons.
In her suit, Mrs. Bernhcimcr not
only alleges that George deserted her,
but that he went to New York with IL
woman, who, for purposes of identiti
cation is described as "Erma.'

HALF A LOAF MUCH BETTER THAN
NONE WHEN IT COMES TO PAVING

The private conference OF the alder
men and members of the board of pub
lie works, last night. on the paving
matter, did not result in any plan
being formulated or agreement being
arrived at. Mayor Meyer and City
Attorney Schmitt were present. and
none of the oidermen or boad members
were missing.
a divergence of opinion arose, three
OF the oldermen desiring to pave Sec
ond street its entire length, and two
of the aldermen desiring to pave four
to seven blocks, and one being non
committal, but favoring paving. Those
who favored paving the entire street
were in favor of narrowing the drive
way i'm the residence section, and
pawn. with brick or creosote blocks.
Those who favored paving smaller
section did so because the city had
not made u sufficient tax levy to pay
for the intersections OH the entire
street. Those who want the entire
street paved are in favor of making
a sufficient levy AZ tniS time lor HeAI
year, so it can all be done this year.
One Proposition Met With Favor.
One proposition that met with favor
was to pave Second street from Jack
son or Cherry to Washington, and
Main street from the bridge to Sec
ond street. Another proposal was TO
do little less on Second street and
pave Main, Mulberry and Walnut
streets from Frant to Second.
President Thompson brought up the
matter of the Mulberry street storm
sewer, which has not yet been put i'll,
but is to be put in this year. He sug-
gested that the Second street paw

year, with Main and Walnut streets.

Board Asked to Prepare Estimates.
The aldermen asked the board of
public works to prepare estimates on
the cost of paving all of Second
street and also of paving the central
blocks and one or more cross streets,
to be presented tonight.
1t is estimated that the city now
has $1,000 that it can use for paw
ing intersections, and possibly one or
two liquor license fees can be added.
President Thompson states that if
the city pays all amount equal to
paying for the intersections. 1t will
pay twenty-four per cent of the en-
tire cost.
The council meets tonight to take
action on the paving matter. 1t is to be
hoped that it will arrive at com
promise, and get something done. 1t
would be very unfortunate if it does
not grant the petition for paving the
business section of the street and one
or two cross streets. The rest could

council undertakes too much it might
