sANDIE M'ALIsTER ON
SCHOOLS AND CANDY

: We do not allow the saloon
keeper to ply his vocation in too
close proximity to our school
buildings. I take no issue with
this rule, although do not quite
understand the reason therefor.
Saloonkeepers are prohibited by
law from allowing minors to fire.
quent their establishment and
SO star as external influence is
concerned, the example of the
ripened product Of the saloon
would have tendency to create
in the minds Of the young a
feeling of aversion and horror for
the liquor traffic and all that per-
tains to it. 49,
But, l am not going to discuss
that question now. The motives
that prompted our law makers in
prohibiting saloons within a=cer-
tain radius of school buildings
was, unquestionably, to protect
the rising generation from the
dangers and degradation of the
drink evil.
How far this prohibition &C.
complishes it's purpose in that
regard it is not at present my
business to inquire. I am con-
cerned with an evil more mis-
chievous in it's consequences than
the presence Of a saloon, and
against which the children have
no protection whatever, either
from teachers, parents, guardians
or the law. / refer to the small
candy store. I regard it as
greater menace to the future well
fare of the child, than any saloon
can possibly be. 49,.
From the very nature Of things
the child is repealed by the sa-
loon and it's environment, but at
tracted by the candy store and
it's contents. Here he is trained
in the art of spending every
penny he can lay his hands on,
and if he does not become a con-
firmed and irredeemable spend
thrift before his school years are
ended it will be no fault of the
candy store.
Talk as we will, the fact re-
mains that we are much more the
creatures Of habit than we are Of
principle and deep rooted habits
Of prodigality, improvidence and
extravaganza planted in human
nature during the formation peri
cd of it's career, are as a rule,
never eradicated by any process
short of dissolution.
Indeed, 1 have a positive con-
viction that the deplorable ha-
bits referred to have more to do
with crowding our jails and peni-
tentiaries than all other causes
combined; yet, here we are in
Duluth, giving every possible en-
couragement to their cultivation.
Scarcely a school room in the city
that does not have from one to
half a dozen of those defiling
candy stores within it's immediate
bailiwick, sowing a seed the fruit
age of which will handicap the
child through all the years of his
life.
Those habits Of prodigalty and
wastefulness become part and
parcel Of his being. They grow
with his growth and strengthen
with his strength, and he can no
more wholly overcome: them at
maturity, no matter, how we'll in
tentioned he may be, than he can
do any other impossible thing. -.
Understand if you please, that
I am not begrugding to crildren
a. reasonable amount of sweets,
nor am I giving any thought to
the possible inferior quality of the
candy. Those matters are not.

MONEY LENDING
BILL RECOMMENDED
Senate Committee Places In
terest at Lower Rate.

The Gallinger loan shark" bill was
yesterday made ready for action by the
Senate. a favorable report being ordered
by the Committee on the District Of Co.
lumbia- Instead of per cent per month
interest, the committee fixed the rate at
which it would be legal to loan money
at ~ per cent. and reduced the amount
of money that could be loaned from $500
to $780, A forfeiture of the interest and
Sne-fourth Of the principal is to be the
penalty of contracts for loans at a higher
rate Of interest than is authorized.
The subcommittee to which the money
lending bill had been referred found 1t
impossible to reach an agreement as to
the exact terms OF the measure, and
therefore handed 1t back to the full COM
mittee without report Most Of the men,
bers sided with Senator Curtis concern
ing his amendments to the bill imposing
a penalty for usurious rates. There was
considerable discussion as to whether the
interest should be per cent per month
or lower, and ~ per cent finally won.
Bills to expedite the construction OF the
new buildings for the Central and NJ
street high schools were ordered favor
ably reported by the committee; also two
measures providing for a stricter regu-
ness in the District
The committee approved and ordered
reported bills for the extension Of Grant
street northeast from its present terminus
near Castle place northeast, and to ex-
tend Deane avenue.
The committee also approved q bill to
authorize a new highway plan for that
portion of the District lying between Van

EXPECT ADVERs 3 REPORT
ON CUNNINGHAM CLAIMS
Interior Department OAc bis Decline to Discuss
Verdict in Noted Alaskan Case.

A decision on the Cunningham claims
covering coal lands in Alaska, the very
claims that provoked the bitter clash
between r. A. Ballinger and Clifford
Pinchot. will be made public this week.
Although Interior Department ofiicials
decline to discuss the matter. there Is
good reason to believe that the claims
will be rejected. At least Land Com
missioner bennett will report adverse
ly upon them. and II an appeal is
taken the bennett decision will un-
doubtedly be approved by Walter L.
Fisher. the Secretary Of the Interior.
The Cunningham claims have been
pending for a number Of years, They
first came to public notice through
charges made by Forester Pinchot that
the Cunningham claims were irregular,
and that the men behind them were
movers in a conspiracy to acquire a
monopoly of the Alaskan coal fields
Voluminous testimony has been taken
in these cases, but so far as can be
learned nothing has been disclosed
tending to show that the claims were
made with a view to fraud.
1t Is the understanding that Commits
sioner bennett will hold that the claim
ants did not strictly comply with the
law. The specific charge against the

MILLIONS SAVED BY
A POSTAL EMPLOYE

Paris, June 3.-An instance Of an en-
ploye of the post-office. who has saved
the state 100000, is given to-day.
Paris is connected with all the large
towns by a system Of underground tele-
graph wires. In 1879 1t was found that
the wires did not work satisfactorily.
In the following year they did not work
at all. The wires were abandoned for
ten years. In 1900 the budget commits
sion. acting on the advice Of the en-
gineers of the post-office. decided to
abandon altogether the wires, which had
cost ss.0OO,0O0.
The employe Of the post-office. who had
read the report of the budget commits
sion, called on the under secretary of
state for that department and informed
him that 1t was possible to utilize the
condemned wires. The employe, Quein-
nee by name, was listened to. but the
engineers laughed at the idea OF his doing
anything with the wires which they had
condemned.
Queinnec set to work. At small ex-
pense he repaired the wires one by one.
He not only repaired. but improved them.
Queinnec was given an advance OF 500
year and made district inspector OF
telegraph wires.
He has again been heard of. In con-
sequence of the floods which devasted
the suburbs last year several overhead
telegraph wires were damaged. NJ Quein-
nee called upon the minister OF works and
pointed out that there was around Paris
a network of underground wires which
ha6 cost 100000, ami had been aban-
doned for twenty years. He promised to
put them in order. Again the engineers
laughed, but the minister Of works placed
tho job In his hands. ie did his work
saving the state 100000.
In recognition of his admirable work he
was decorated last year, and 1t is now a
question of giving him another increase
of $500 a year and making him principal
inspector Of the underground telegraph
wires in France.

Cunningham claimants was that they

Resident Taft has directed the atten-
tid Of Congress to the check on devel-
opnent In Alaska, owing to the fact that
pryper laws have not been passed per-

In the Territory. A good deal Of capital
has been invested in Alaska. and more
is ready to pour in there. upon the adop-

A bill providing for the sale Of Alaskan
lands under a leasing system was in
troduced at the last session Of Congress
by Senator Nelson, Of Minnesota, chair
man Of the Senate Committee on Public
Lands. Criticism Of II was made by Mr..
Pinchot and others officially connected
with the conservation movement. The
bill has the support OF the administra-
ton. Every effort was made to pass 1t,
but without result With the rejection
Of the Cunningham claims the situation

New York, June 3.-Trading on the
stock exchange to-day was more ami
mated than on any previous Saturday
for many weeks. The turnover OF stocks
approximated $4,000 shares and of bonds
s2.30o.0oo. All of the standard shares were
in good demand. The market had wide
range and it was as strong and healthy
as 1t was active and broad.
With but few exceptions, stocks ad-
vancd bucyantly in the first hour, and
in the second hour the profit taking Gus
tomary toward the close of every week
detracted only fractionally from the
early gains.
The bank statement showed decrease
of s., Loo, 900 in the surplus reserve and an
expansion of s12,6 900 in loans, but the
trust company statement showed a con-
traction in loans, and the expansion IN
the loans of the clearinghouse banks
was principally due TO an increase or
S1l ,500,0 900 in the loan account or one OF
the largest banks. that bank haVlng peen
engaged in the largest bond notation OF
the week. The surplus reserve at the
week end remained far above the aver
age for corresponding weeks OF previous
years.
Conditions and developments through
the week have steadily favored the con-
structive side of business and hnanclai
values, and the action of the STOCK mar
ket disclosed that financial sentiment OF
a conservative order is becoming strong
iy tinged with optimism.
The country's splendid bond market
continues. hardly a day passing without
the announcement of quick sale at
short notice of some large new railway
or Industrial bond issue. The S6oOuc,ooo
mortgage placed on the Great Northern
Railway property on Thursday only COM
prises an immediate issue of S2O,u@ovo Oh
the bonds under the mortgage, the rest
being reserved for future needs. including
the retirements of the Chicago, Burlins-
ton and Quincy joint per cent nens'
and this operation was very properly
construed by Wall street as meaning
that in due course the Chicago, Burlins-
ton and Quincy lines, now the joint prop
erty of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern, are TO be taken over wholly
by the Great Northern.
Prosperity Now Due.
Other favoring circumstances or the
week were the large number OF railway
earnings statements submitted. exhibit
ing in nearly every instance proof of the
fact. that the situation here is improving
The cut in iron and steel products has
not yet stimulated new business TO any
notable extent but 1t seldom does this
until a considerable time elapses.
Hope is strong that the course of the
steel trade, now that this readjustment
has been made, will be that which ii has
always followed on similar occasions in
the past, even If sometimes not quite
as quickly as enthusiastic spectators for
the rise in Wall street would like to see IT.
Meantime it is to be observed that as
iron and steel prices are already down
very nearly TO the cost of production,
there is not likely TO be any great amount
