the round of the ladder that one
must climb if he hopes to reach the
goal of worthy ambition.
MIR. Taylor has ploughed the fur
rows on the farm, has assisted in the
garnering of the crop. He has aided in
the laying of foundations and helped to
erect the superstructures of stately
buildings that ornament city thorough
fares. He has bruised and lacerated
his hands with honest toll in order to
obtain an education. He has touched
elbows with the men who dig in the
ditch and labored with those who have
improved city streets. There is no
aristocracy in honest toll, and he is
the product of that class of citizens
whose sympathies beat hard with those
of the people. In word, he was not
a pampered child of wealth.

must be considered highly improved.
The Minnesota commissioners are re-
ported to have determined to carry
the question of their jurisdiction to
the supreme court. No fault can be
found with such a determination, for
our supreme court is not a bugbear.
1t is our court OF final resort, whose
power exceeds that even of the prea:,
dent, whose members are appointed
for life and whose action has but one
restraint, that of exact Justice to rich
and poor, and to corporation no less
than to individual President Taft's
appointments to fiji vacancies have
been admirable, and we need not
fear any action the supreme court. of
our countrx,,wiil take. Whatever the
decisions in, the STANDARD Oil and
American Tobacco cases, we can rest
assured that nothing will be ordered
that will spill confscation; our
supreme court is in no sense DOGGY.
Money conditions, too. should not
be lost sight of.-in considering the ia
vOrable features of the situation. Our
great crops are being marketed with
less than the usual strain, and the
prospects favor continuance of the
easy situation. The controversy that
has developed with foreign bankers
over the question of our own banks
guaranteeing bills of lading will I'M
doubtedly work out satisfactorily
within the six weeks intervening be-
fore the crisis is reached; and the is
sues have already been reduced to
such narrow limits that banking in
terests at home and abroad may be
depended upon to see that a salts
factory adjustment is reached.
with developments such as have
already been referred to, the market
is well able to withstand the more
temporary Influences. THE political
situation win undoubtedly work it
self out and The agitation will not
have been r'Without tsh' .compensations
in the form of better ioffTeeholders and
a cleaner political situation generally.

step nearer the desired removal of
the entire tariff question from politics.

CURB LIGHT SYSTEM
is GREAT WHITE WAY

estate man. and others. A special
menu that bristled with good things
from the oyster cocktails and con
sommc to the fried chicken and ice
cream and coffee, was served.
After the meal had been disposed OF
the visitors were shown the curb light
ing system that they came particu-
larly to see. Portions of Central ave
nue. and Second, Third and Fourth
streets are lighted by three cluster
lamps on Grecian standards of beau
ftiful design. Eleven blocks in all arc
lighted, but it is expected that the de-
mand will soon make it necessary to
extend the system further into the
residence sections.
Five Posts in Block
There are five posts to block on
each side of the street, the posts being
seventy-five feet apart, and each cius-
ter is composed of three 32-candls
power lights All of the lights burn
every night until midnight, and from
midnight until daylight one light in
each cluster burns. The fact that the
moon is shining, or is supposed to,
cuts no figure, for the lights burn
every night. The Consumers Power
company furnishes the posts and in
stalls the system and charges the city
$34 year per post for the light. A
ten year contract was recently entered
into, and the lights have now been
burning for three months.
The streets are lighted uniformly, il
being as bright in the center of a
block as Oh the corners, and the lights
shine into the store windows at night
Illuminating them SO that the policemen
can see that no burglars are at work.
There are no binding arc lights to
confuse auto drivers. The effect of
the lights is exceedingly beautiful, with
the long rows of three cluster soft
white lights extending for many blocks
up and down the streets.
Well Pleased With System.
The citizens of Faribault seen were
well pleased with the system. While
the expense is considerably greater
/ than that of the are light system, so
much better service is given that there
are few if any knockers Instead
of wanting to change back to the old
system of ares, the people would
rather see the new system extended.
The wires are laid between the
curbing and the walks, in two inch

or replaced
Among the Minnesota cities that
have adopted this lsind~~of lighting
system in the central district are st.
Paul, Minneapolis, Albert Lea, Austin,
New Ulm and Faribault. Some have
the five cluster lights and some the
three. The five cluster lights are the
prettiest, but are little more ex
pensive, and at Faribault it was
thought best to light a wider territory
with the three cluster lights than
lights.
Inaugurated in Many Cities.
The white way as streets lighted
by these lights are called is being in
au9Hrated in a great many cities all
over the country, and il seems the
coming system. The Mankato delega
ton were well pleased with what they
saw at Earibault, and 10 doubt ne
9otiations will be entered into with
the Consumers Power company for
lighting some OF Mankato's streets with
this; system. 1t was remarked that
Front, Broad and possibly Second
streets would look very handsome if
so lighted. On Broad, the po5s
would be placed on the curb line, which
would make that street particularly
attractive
Manager Brown states that his com
pany will be in position to furnish
these lights next spring, and would be
willing to enter into "a contract with
the city, cutting out the present ares.

Country Life Preferred.

London.-More inclined to rural
pleasures than town delights is the
American wife of Sir Charles Ross.
Lady Ross, who was Miss Patricia
Burnley Ellison of Louisville, is rarely
seen among her compatriots in Lon
don. She prefers life at Balnagowan
Castle, Rossshire, where some of the
best shooting, and fishing in Scotland
are obtained. Her appearance in the
busy haunts of men is generally as a
singer at a concert held for philan-
thropic objects.
Picturesque, if a little grim. is the
story told of the grandfather of the
present baronet when a boy. Like
children of humber birth, he had an
attack of measles, and was looked
after during the day by an old nurse
who used to return to her cottage at
night. One morning she looked very
depressed. On being asked to explain
her detection. she said she was not
long for this world and that the
head of the house, then In excellent
health. would soon die.
On her way home, she said two
lights had come out of some trees
one feeble and close to the ground
the other bright and higher up
These passed before her to the park
gates, and then disappeared. She said
the feeble light was herself and the
bright one the head of the house.
Within a few days the old nurse died
and in less than a fortnight the then
baronet, Sir Charles Ross, passed
away

from J. P. O'Brien, general manager

to the mountains for a short vacation.
H. G. Anderson is here from Iowa,
