Petitions from owners OF adjoining

the city council last evening protesting
against issuance of licenses for two
new saloons at 646 Forty-sixth street
and at 500 Second street. Both petit
tons were referred to the license and

Otto Adams is seeking TO establish

location, appeared before the council
signatures of consent were obtained
under false representations, Mr..

signed Mr.. Adams petition have
scheduled for more property than they

neighbors, take the position that there
are enough saloons in that locality.

Service f. Criticised.
Mayor G. w. McCaskrin called at

that working men were registering
against service morning and evening
furnished by the Tri-City Railway
company. In the first place." the
mayor said. the company does not
have sufficient cars to handle the men
who work in the factories in the west
end of Rock Island. in Moline and in
East Moline and Silvis. There is no
regard, either. for connections at Mo
line with the cars from this city bear
ing workmen who are employed in the
East Moline and Silvis factories.
Doubtless some of you have seen rows
of perspiring men standing outside
these factories at night in the cold and
seen the filled cars whizZ by them.
The company knows, or ought to know,
how many of these men there are when
the factories close in the evening, and

to pass upon the contract to be enter

In this connection the Tri-City Ralf-

city is ready to receive the S25,OOO

itself to make when its franchises
were extended a few months ago. The

Upon recommendation of the may

offered by Alderman HOlzhammer,
that the Central Union Telephone COM

One of President lTaft's recon-
mendations to congress was that
Peary's discovery of the north pole
be recognized. Matters of SOU small
significance as this the president
should have omitted from his mes
sage. BE nor any one else has proof
that Peary reached the northern axis
OF the globe, and the explorers in
ability to furnish congress with such
proof should be sufficient. Congress
has plenty of other work to engage it's
attention without wasting it's time with
the consideration of the claims of this
upstart. The recognition of Peary by
congress as the discoverer OF the pole
will not make him such nor will it in.

The Illinois Steel company is en-
gagged in a despicable undertaking in
it's attempt to evict number of poor
fishermen from their island homes in
Milwaukee harbor. These fishermen IS
forbears virtually made this land by
carrying earth to the islet, which
originally consisted of II acres OF
bog, and the greedy steel company
now claims possession through an
alleged deal with a man who at some
time or other lived there. The lower
court found in favor of the fishermen
and the steel vultures have appealed.
From the history of the case there
seems to be sufficient human interest
to it to furnish material for
a great novel.

The Ballinger-Pinchot investigation
appears to have been no more or less
than farce. After working eleven
months on the inquiry the reports of
the joint committee leaves the ques-
ton just where it was before. The
findings of the committee we're en-
braced in three reports-a majority
report clearing Ballinger of all
charges, minority report condemn
ing him and an individual report
from Representative Madison of
Kansas also condemning him. Seeing
trouble ahead we're a vote called to
determine which of the reports should
be adopted, congress wriggled out of
the situation by referring the reports
to the house committee on agriculture,
to be reported upon after the holi-
days. From present indications the
reports will never see the light of day
again, as this committee protests that
the controversy should have been left
on the speakers table instead of being
referred. To kill the reports in COM
mittee seems to be the end sought.

Way to Treat Venison.

The sportsman was explaining to g.
few of his uninitiated friends.
If you don't like venison," he said,
lit is because it has not been prepared
properly. I think know the kind you
have tried to eat, and I agree with
you it is not fit. After the deer has
been shot the carcass probably has
been allowed to lie around until the
blood has discolored the meat and
really has almost tainted it. Few
hunters dress their game carefully
enough. AS soon as deer is killed
the carcass should be thoroughly bled.
skinned, the entrails removed and the
meat hung up in the dry air for some
hours. Thorough and prompt bleeding
is Of the utmost importance. Venison
prepared in this way is comparatively
light in color-that is, it is a clear,
bright red, and the fat is white and
clean. There is no strong, rank taste.'"

Minnesota, according to the census
figures, shows an increase in popula-
ton of only 1875 per cent for the past
ten years, while there are states on
the list which run up to over 100 per
cent. There are of course reasons for
this, and the principal one is that her
roads are in an abominable condi-
ton, in fact there are practically no
roads in some of the richest agricul-
tural sections of the state. How can
a state expect to grow rapidly when it
provides no roads over which the
farmer may haul his products to
market? The remedy for Minnesota s
slow growth is obvious.

II. II. DUNN FOR SPEAKER.

Il: II: DCIsIS e OAb SoA-Hl1an11f
The fight for the speakership of the
Minnesota house of representatives
was virtually ended last 81 week, q
majority Of the republican members
elect, and a,,majority of the. entire
membership Of the house, having
declared. in favor of Hon. H. n.
Dunn of Albert Lea. ..
Mr.. Dunn is an able man and is
recognized as one of the foremost law
yers OF southern Minnesota. He has
declared in unequivocal terms in
favor of an equitable reapportion-
ment of the legislative districts Of the
state and although he is personally
opposed to county option he is
pledged to give that question fair
treatment, and every opportunity will
be afforded the friends of the measure
to discuss it on the floor of the house..

. One G. S. Crandall of Owatonna,
a retired statesman who served
several sessions in the state senate
and managed to- draw his per diem
regularly, objects to the state improv-
ing it's own lands. The Mortified
News fails to see the logic of Mr..
Crandall's contention, and adds: s'It
might very we'll happen that in a GER
tain section of northern Minnesota
there we're 10000 acres of land be-
longing to a nonresident owner and
10000 acres belonging to the state.
Mr.. Crandall would not contend surely
that to tax the 10000 acres of the
nonresident would be bold pro-
posal to appropriate such lands to
local purposes. Why then should he
regard precisely similar taxation as
con6scation because the title to the
land happened to vest in the state
rather than in nonresident? Roads
and bridges built through a tract of
land add to the value of such land no
matter who holds it, and because the
state happens to be the holder is no
good reason why it should not share
with the residents the expense. The
state should surely not want to put
upon the struggling settlers the
burden of improving it's property

In an address delivered before the
American Good Roads congress at
Indianapolis on the 7th inst. Samuel
Hill declared that the question of
good roads is one in comparison to
which the tariff problem and the
building of the Panama canal are
mere jokes. Mr.. Hill is doing great
work in the state of Washington to
further the cause of road improve
ment, and there is no state in the
Union that is forging faster to the
front than Washington, and mainly
on account of it's fine public highways.
That state levies one-mill state road
tax annually.

In an address to members-elect OF
the house among other things Hon. J.
A. Burnquist, candidate for speaker,
says: GAS matters now stand the
wisest course to pursue is to follow
Hon. r. G. Dunn's suggestion that
the election (of speaker) should be
decided in the general caucus" But
the suggestion was not acted upon by
Mr.. Burnquist when it was made.
The republican members from each of
the congressional districts of the
state, save those of the Eighth, have
caucused and it appears a majority
have decided against Mr.. Burnquist.
The general caucus of republican
members will simply ratify the action
of the district caucuses. Mr.. Burn
quist and his overzealous friends are
largely to blame for forcing the hold
ing of district caucuses. We are
heartily glad that the republican
members from the Eighth r, con
gressional district refrained from
holding caucus, and each individual
member is free to support the candi-
date of his choice.
