walsh struck a match and lighted
the gas. For perhaps minute he stood
looking at Rhynders with perfect con-

table, unlocked the door, and, standing in
the doorway, again faced Rhynders.
'Rhynderss he faid, I have believed
all along that you are a coward. Now
I've proved it. 1 would have fought YOU

after he always spoke Of Rhynders with
utter contempt, treatment that Rhynders
never resented"

THE ST. PAUL ELECTION.

WAY HEN the Democrats look at the election
Wv returns from St. Paul, they must be dis
appointed. They made great noise over the
result of the Congressional elections in the four
teenth district OF Massachusetts and the Roches-
ter district Of New York. But the ST. Paul
election tells different story. In that city the
Democrats were overwhelmingly defeated, their
administration being routed and Republican
elected Mayor.
According to the way in which the Democrats
have been reasoning, this election in the home
OF insurgency is to be taken as an approval of the
Taft administration and an Endorsement of the
new tariff bill, measure bv the way, that is
filling the national treasury and thereby doing
one of the chief things it was expected TO do.
But the ST. Paul election was decided chiefly
by local reasons, just as were the other elections
to which we have referred.

will not use the "big stick in order to secure

He recommends what legislation he thinks
should be passed in accordance with the decara-

TO Congress to adopt or to reject the recommenda-
tions. OF course the President could use the
veto. but the latest word from Washington is
that he is not inclined to exercise that power.

MIR. BANNING's WARNING.

II RESIDENT Banning made an interesting
Il statement the other evening before City
Council concerning the finances of the city. lie
does not believe in permitting things to drift
along hoping that something will turn up. lie
sees the bridges a short distance ahead, and he
prepares to cross them. This, it seems TO us, IS
the proper method. The finances of the city are
rapidly getting into hopeless tangle, and the
sooner something is done the better.
Mr. Banning thinks public improvements
should be halted until the city finds ont where
1T is at That, of course, is the method pur-
sued bv conservative and sensible men in busi-
ness, and it should apply to the city's business.
The time has passed when mere Juggling OF city
finances will obscure the facts. AS Mr.. Ban
ming SAYS, il will become more and more difficult
TO meet the interest on the city's bonded indebt-
edness as time goes on, and if present methods
are continued the borrowing capacity of the city
will be reached. This, of course, would be de-
plorabe. The thing TO DO is TO set about remedy
ing the conditions overhaung the city govern
ment and planning to get the city on a sound
basis.
The first step, Mr.. Banning thinks, should be
the eQualizing of assessments The Journal
has often discussed this matter. and il is crafty
ing to know that man like Mr.. Banning, who
is a large property holder. thoroughly believes
that our assessments should be revised so that
they shall be more equitable. With this step
there should be a new city charter.
At any rate these matters should be considered
and discussed, and Mr. Banning by calling
attention to present conditions has done a public
service. 1t is useless for newspapers or indi-
viduals alone to keep urging such reforms unless
those in authority are disposed to take them up.
Mr. Banning realizes the plight which the city
will soon be in, and his statement should receive
the thoughtful attention of councilmen and lead
TO some definite action

The action of the Baltimore e. Ohio

the Baltimore & Ohio to determine if
they are in favor OF q strike will be

ellis of the two orders will make a final
effort to adjust their demands with the

the situation, the railroad officials de-
clare that they anticipate no serious

the life of the strike. Many in the long
line of men were engaged.
Many of the boy rioters who had been

taken into the juvenile court today. They
were for the most part penitent lot and
the majority of them paid dearly for the
fun they thought they were having. All
promised to be good, but the promises
had no weight with the court and fines
varying from IS to $50 were inflicted,
Some of the boys were sentenced 10 80
days in the house of detention and others
were sent to the same place until the
strike is over. Mothers and fathers OF
the youthful offenders were severally
reprimanded, especially when the fathers
tried to convince the court of the re-
spectability of their sons
There has been no interference with the
transportation of the mails over the lines
of the Transit Co. So far as reported
there has been only two instances of the
blocking of cars which were carrying
mails between sub-stations in the city. In
one case strike sympathizers dumped
wagon load of ashes on tracks to impede
the progress Of company cars, but the
first to come along was a mail car. The
other case was when a mail car was
blocked temporarily behind number OF
transit cars that had been attacked.

district attorney, received instructions
from Washington today to watch this
phase of the strike closely, Before these
We're received, however, he had been in

5000 employees of trolley lines in the
