Lincoln said he knew that the I'M
position of high tariff was a griev-
Gus burden on the people and he
hoped that conditions would soon
permit them to be taken off. Instead
of that the taste of protection to the
rich manufacturers became so good
that they have insisted on more and
more of it until the war tariff looks
small to the schedules since piled on.
When the people once begin to see
how they have been robbed by the
tariff they will begin to demand more
and more reduction. After having
set fire to the great tariff wall by his
championship of the Canadian Reel
procity Treaty, it will be hopeless
job for President Taft to try to put
out the fire with is little squirt CUR
vetos of the Farmers free list anc
wool bills.

fcult for the police official, when he
saw a person whom he did not rec
ognize riding upon the sidewalk, to
determine whether such person was
lawfully on the walk or not, without
chasing a person, ascertalning his
identity and then going to the Clerks
office to see if such person had a Ii
cense. And the same would hold good
as to private citizens desiring to COM
plain of any person riding on the
sidewalk. Under the present ordin=
ance everybody knows that any per-
son who rides on the sidewalk is COM
hitting an offense.. 4 -
Should the ordinance be amended
so as to permit riding when the
streets were muddy, every case that
came before the Court would present
the question Of whether the street
was or was not too muddy for bicycle
riding, question exceedingly diff
cult for the Court to decide, and up
on which witnesses might differ to
such an extent that convictions would
seldom be procured. Every rider ar
rested would make the defense that
the streets were too muddy with a
good chance of escaping conviction,
and bicycle riding on the sidewalks
would probably become as prevalent
as if no ordinance existed. ~
1t is my opinion that the only safe
course for the City to pursue is to
leave the ordinance as it now is and
vigorously inforce it. By doing that
the City runs no risk Of damage suits.
If the Council, in the exercise Of
their discretion, consider the pres
ent ordinance too drastic and sweep
ing, l should consider it more advis-
able to repeal the present ordinance
and allow everybody to ride on the
sidewalks, rather than to license the
riders or permit riding when the
streets were muddy,
Respectfully submitted,
r. w. STANFORD,
City Attorney.
Otto Bjork applied for permit to

How often do we hear the wish ex-
pressed "that the anti-saloon league
and prohibition party could get to-
gether for united fight against the
saloon power?" WHAT'S to prevent,
if they are both sincere in their de-
sire to get prohibition? Once get a
constitutional amendment before the
people and you will see the biggest
fight Minnesota has yet seen. The
old-party politicians are holding
down the safety valve of public opin-
ion on the question and the brewing
interests are holding down the po]iti-
clans. A big convention sometime
next spring might succeed in popping
off the valve and giving free express
ion of the sentiments of the great
rank and file.

Food and Strenoth.


Remember that the food you take
one day supplies the strength you put
forth the next. 1t is then a mistake
to take heavy meal on The day nf
heavy work. The time to take it is
the day before Wise stablemen know
this. and when Il horse has long
days drive before him they give him
only what is called a check feed a
very light meal, to be followed ut night
with heavy one. So there are two
good reasons for a mans not eating
much on the day of stress. 1t adds
nothing TO his strength on that day,
and the process of digestion calls the
blood to work at the stomach when ey-
cry ounce OF it is needed at the brain.

Ray Stannard Baker met Jacob
S. Coxey in the new Willard hotel
at Washington the other day, and
asked him if his views on public af-
fairs had changed since he led his
"army" to Washington in 1894. "Not
bit of it" he said, "but I'm no long
er 'crank' and 'agitator'. No one
now can pick me out Of crowd. You
see, most of the people of the coun-
try have come around in seventeen
years to see things just as saw
things then. You'll find the leaders
Of both old parties telling the coun-
try today just what l was trying to
tell the country in 1894-and being
hooted and jailed for doing it. It's
good politics now but in those days
a man was a crank or anarchist who
dared to say any such things"
