Public Examiner Fritz through a
deputy, one J. O.. Cederberg, severely
criticiZes the state board of control
and intimates that the per capita
cost of some of the state insti buttons
is too high. We know Mr.. Cederberg
and we also have a personal acquaint-
ance with P. M. Ringdal and G. E.
Vasaly Of the board of control.
Hence we refuse to accept Mr.. Ceder-
berg's alleged facts and figures until
we have had an opportunity to read
the biennial report Of the board Of
control. 1t is easy for a hireling
who wishes to retain his job under
the present administration to find
fault with appointees of democratic
governor, but fair-minded people
will await the report of the board of
control before arriving at, a conclu-
sion. Every intelligent man and
woman knows that the cost of living
has been greatly increased within
the past few years, and there may
be, and undoubtedly there are, good
reasons why the per capita cost is
higher in some state institutions
than in others. Then again, it is
impossible to place a John Coleman
at the head Of every state institu-
ton.

The little coterie of bullmoosers
who met in conference at Chicago
last week were informed by the lead
er of the herd-Teddy the Egotist-
that never more would he aspire to
be president of the United States.
With tears in his eyes, he also stated
that the herd would have to select
another leader, but that he would
tender it all the. assistance in his
power. From this it is reasonable
to imply that he considers himself

Advance sheets of the Forthcoming
report of the Minnesota Tax Com
mission have been issued. A strong
recommendation is made for the ap-
pointment of a county assessor and
the abolition of township and village
assessors. The commission also rec
ommends that all property shou Id be
assessed at so per cent Of it's actual
cash value. There is merit in both
these recommendations. The COM
mission also recommends that the
daJe for the valuation of property be
changed from May l to March 1.
That recommendation is all right,
provided the county assessor bill be-
comes law, but should that mea-
sure fail of enactment, the first of
April would be a more suitable date,
as township and village assessors are
elected on the second Tuesday in
March, and it would hardly answer
to have an assessor commence his
labors on the 1st of March when he
had no assurance that he would be
continued in office to complete the
work he had entered upon. 'H<.*

The village council has purchased a
new fire whistle of the "screecher''
variety which is warranted to arouse
even an individual of the hibernat-
ing species from his slumbers. It is
said to resemble, to some extent, the
whistles used by the militant
suffragette generals when they call
their hosts together. The old whis-
tie, utilized for II years, has for
some time suffered from pulmonary
troubles, which caused intense
hoarseness, and it is well that the
veteran has been relegated to OBJ
scurity. =. > =, e <. .r -.

In his report to the State Highway
Commission, Mr.. George W. Cooley,
chief engineer and secretary of the
commission, asserts that chapter 254
general laws of 1911, (the Elwel]
law is a very meritorious act in it's
main features, but requires amend
m4nts to make it more workable.
The Union has repeatedly asserted
that the law in question is unwork-
able, and others are just beginning

Consider the beautiful lives of many
historic spinsters.
I'VE see Mary Lyons, typical New
England splinter, founding an invalu-
able school for girls; Marie Mitchell,
the hunter of stars, devoting her life
to the study Of the armament; Flor
.ence Nightingale, in England, and
Clara Barton, in America, who never
knew the felicity of love, but were
welded to the world where suffering
and death were ever with them;
Frances f. Willard, angel Of woman
hood, who stepped into the blackness
of intemperance, leaving the spotless
tracks of reform around the world,
and Helen Gould, who Is doing ten
thousand times more good than the
garrulous critic who chides her for
a single life.
Women outnumber men almost
three to one in this mortal life. The

CHICAGO. Aug. 22-From an I'M
Improbable source, It was learned
today that a strike of $4,000 street car
and elevated employees is almost GER
tain to be called. The situation has
reached a point where it cannot be
averted without a most radical change
of heart on the part of the transporta-
tion line officials.
One of the officials Of the affected
lines, who refused to allow his name
to be used. declared that the North
and West Side companies were will
ing TO compromise, but that President
Leonardo Busby, of the South Side
Railways, stood out against all argu-
ments and refused even to consider
compromise.
This official asserted that the
South Side lines were fostering a
strike and that 500 strikebreakers had
been imported and were waiting to
take the place of the union men.
President Busby denied the story that
500 strikebreakers were in Chicago
ready to go to work when the men
walked out.
I'm the event of a strike" said BUS
by, "all of our cars will be left
standing In the barns and we will
not make an effort to turn a wheel
for ninety days If the strike lasts that
long"

TALK OVER
"MOVIE" LAW
Police Commission Tells COun-
Gil More Officers Are
Needed TO Enforce Law
BODIES POSTPONE
DEFINITE ACTION

President Jones, Of the Police Com
mission. and Chief of Police Black,
met with the members Of City Coun-
Gil last night in Council chambers, TO
discuss the ordinance providing for
the regulation of moving picture
theatres. the result Of a communica-
tion sent by Council to the Police
Commission asking why the police
did not enforce the law, and return
communication from the latter, stat
ing that the police were doing their
duty as far as was possible, consid-
ering the small force employed TO
patrol the city.
Moving picture theatre managers
were present with their attorney
David J. Reinhardt, but the members
OF Council would not treat with them
on the ground, according TO one
Councilman, that the managers have
paid no attention TO the ordinance
Council passed some time ago.
The police officials informed the
Councilmen that everything possible
was being done by the police to com
pei the theatres to conform TO the
law. They suggested that the Coun-
Gil appropriate the money to employ
a special patrolman whose sole duty
would be TO visit such places at regu-
lar intervals and see that the ordin-
ance was being obeyed. The sug-
gestion also was made that the thea
tres employ their own special Off
GERS. but IL was claimed that such
officers could not be expected to give
the results an officer would employed
independently Of the proprietors Of
lhe moving picture places.
Il was made clear TO the Council
men that the police force is far too
small for the proper policing Of the
city and the Council should not ex-
pect the policemen to patrol districts
and at the same time watch the NOV
ing pictures places. The police Of
ficials expressed a desire to cooper
ate in every way possible with Coun-
ell TO enforce all laws and -regula-
tons
The members Of Council. after dis
cusslng the matter at some length
among themselves, decided TO post
pone action until next week.

LOADING OF FIRE APPARATUS.

To devise better loading facilities
for fire engines, officials Of the local
Fire Department are contemplating
comforting with officials of the Della
ware and Maryland divisions of the
Pennsylvania railroad 1t is pointed
that there is no place in the city
where fire apparatus can be loaded
quickly in case of an appeal from
outside the city. This was demon
strated recently when help was asked
by the people Of Rehoboth.
Some of the firemen have sug-
gested that a sunken track be To-
Gated at Fourth and Church or Pine
streets so an engine could be driven
right up the fiat car or that a wide
platform with an easily graded APP
proach be placed there so the horses
could pull the apparatus right from
the street to the car.
