GOOD CLOTHES.

Many men pay no attention to the
quality of the clothes they buy-they
are inclined to feel that there is q
chance of getting real quality as
near-quality. Men OF this class should
visit the North End Clothing store, 13
Water St. where only clothes of
known quality are handled. The easy
weekly payment plan is very popular
at this store. We like it-and you'll
like it.

PATTERN|NG after VIRGINIA
Hibbing Progressive League Can
didates Want improvements
Already Instituted by the
Queen City.

A circular letter to the voters
Of Hibbing from the Progressive
Citizens League Of that village
declares for many improvements
should the candidates be elected
which pattern strongly after the
advanced steps already taken by
Virginia under the present admin
istration.
Among the steps Of municipal
improvement advocated are the
paving Of all principal streets in
the city with suitable and up
to-date pavement, the placing un-
derground or in alleys Of all wires
on the principal thoroughfares, a
white way, to provide public
parks and Fairgrounds, to pro-
vide a public market place, to
build and maintain a city scale
and to arrange for and construct
an incinerator plant.
The candidates on the Progress
sive Citizens League ticket in
Hibbing are DR.. G. N. Butchart
for president, NJ. Rogalsky, w. J.
Ryder and j. B. Messner for trus-
tees, Rupert Swinnerton for re-
corder and David Graham for
treasurer, and it is evident to us
that one or more of them have at
some time visited Virginia and
taken cognizance of the advanced
steps taken by this city in the
very lines enumerated, Virginia
having each and every of the i'm
provements named.

Make FORMAL CONVEY
ANCE OF LIBRARY SITE
Council 1nstructs Mayor and Clerk
to Convey Property to D., w. &
P. Ry. Upon Compliance with
Terms of Franchise.

A resolution passed by the coun-
Gil Tuesday evening authorized
and directed the mayor and city
clerk, upon compliance Of the con-
ditions of Ordinance No. 12O
granting to the Duluth, Winnipeg
4 Pacific railway a right-of-way
through the city, to make formal
transfer of the land comprised in
the present library site at price
of $4,000.
The present library site at the
west end of Chestnut street will
be the location Of the proposed
new depot to- be erected at a
cost of $4,000 by the company
the coming season, the grading
and piling for the new line, which
is an extension of the Canadian
Northern system, having been
completed during the winter
months.
The new line will likely Lc run
ming it's own trains into Duluth
within the next ninety days, and
Virginia may naturally expect a
betterment in train service witt,
the head Of the lakes.
A great amount Of freight also
goes through over the line, at the
present time an average of five
train-loads of wheat from the Ca
madam northwest going through
this city to Duluth, being trans
ferred from the Canadian North
ern system to the Duluth, Missa-
be & Northern at this point.
The building of the proposed
new depot at the west end of
Chestnut and the opening of the
new line between this city and
Duluth will have natural ten
dency to enhance property values
in the west block on the street,
and already a number of new
buildings in that section are con-
sidered.

Virginia is sending out cards
giving facts about the city, such
as valuation, resources, popula-

business man includes these in his

Will ONslOER PETITION
FOR CAlRTER CHANGES
Commission Will Meet on Thurs
, day Evening Next to Debate
Question Of Police Regulation
Change Desired by Petitioners


" A special meeting Of the city
charter commission has been call
ed: by Secretary Poirier at the
request of :, the president for
Thursday evening next, March 7,
for the consideration Of the pe-
.tition filed some time since by six
ty-two free-holders asking for def
mite changes in the charter regu-
lating the police department, the
petition asking that the mayor of
the city be an active member of
the police and fire commission and
president of that body, and also
that the mayor for any cause ap-
pearing to him to be sufficient,
have the power to remove any po-
lice officer at any time.
Secretary Poirier has referred
the proposed changes to Bert Fes-
ler, of Duluth, and in an
opinion rendered on the same
mailed to the members Of the char
ter commission this week he ques-
tlons the legality Of the petition
on the ground that the sixty-two
names appearing thereon did not
constitute 5 per cent Of the vot-
ing population of the city at the
time OF it's presentation, although
it did contain 5 per cent of the
vote cast at the last general elec-
tion, and suggests the charter be
so amended as to make explicit
this questionable phase.
The changes as suggested by
the petitioners meet in some re-
spects with the approval of all
citizens, but in other respects their
adaptability is questioned by
some. The creation of the police
and fire commission was sprimar-
lily with the intent of taking the
police department, especially, out
OF politics, but it has seemingly
failed of this object, and we be-
lieve the citizens as a whole would
be better satisfied should the Sec
tion Of the charter relating to
the placing Of the police depart
ment on civil service basis be
rescinded, leaving the question of
appointment and of removal
strictly within the power of the
mayor, as under the former char.
ter.
At the coming meeting Of the
charter commission other matters
touching upon city government
and regulation will be discussed
and it is not improbable the com
mission form of municipal govern
ment will receive attention.
Should the charter commission
decide that in their opinion thu
petition presented relating to po
lice and fire commission power
and duties is sufficient, a specia
election will be called upon tn
provisions Of the charter for tn
$ submission of the point to tn,
: voters. At the same time, othe
I points will doubtless be submitted
for public opinion to be expressed
e by ballot.

NO COMPROMISE
 OFFER ACCEPTED
DEADLOCK FOLLOWS TROLLEY MEMS CONFERENCE ON
 WAGES IN HARTFORD.

From 10 to 1 o'clock in Hartford yesterday, A representatives of the trolley unions of Connecticut and Southern Massachusetts met at the New England joint conference boar q and threshed out their difference with the companies on the wage question. After the morning meeting the state- ment was given out in Hartford that the conference had reached no de- cisive conclusion and that the matter would be taken up again.
 The men were united in the posi- tion that they would not accept the compromise offer of one-half cent an hour increase on the sliding scale in lieu of the 30-cent flat rate demand ed. The newspapermen were also told that no strike vote would be taken at the present time according to the attitude of the men in the meeting.
 No announcement was made of the action on the stand of the officials of the companies in regard to the joint conference asked by the whole board concerning which President J.T. Har- mer of the New England Investment and Securities company, and Vice President l.. S. Storrs of the Connecti.. cut company declared they would grant only with the separate compa- nies and unions
 The situation, according to advices from Hartford, has apparently re- suited in deadlock with the matter of the unions to make the next move in the negotiations or order a strike vote at the conclusion of their delib- eratiOnS.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-05-28

We may therefore expect that Bridgeport's growth of 43 per cent. in the decade will be somewhat, if not largely diminished, within the next 25 years. Perhaps 100000 popula- tion in 1886 will be nearer the mark Yet it may be that conditions will conspire to boom Bridgeport, and it is impossible to say that 1886 may not find us with 100000 or even 5OO,OOO, although it is not likely. Something must be allowed for the tendency to distribution of population produced by modern mechanisms and transporta. tion methods, and something also for the probability that Bridgeport may annex suburban territory. It seems inevitable now that Fairfield and Stratford will be densely populated by the city's overflow, and they will be densely populated within a measur- able period.

BIRD STUDY
A Great Awakening Now Ap.
 parent in the Schools

New York. May 2S.-Advices receiv- ed here the past few days from prom lnent educators in thirty-one States and five Canadian Provinces reveal a most unusual interest now manifest in bird study in the schools through the country
 The reason for this unparalleled activity is explained by superinten- dents and principals of schools as being due to pronounced awakening of the public conscience to the impor- tance of conserving wild bird life. Farmers and fruit growers are com blaming of the depredations of in- sects which annually take a toll of at least ten per cent of all the crops. wood-boring beetles are playing great havoc with many forms of fine forest trees. Birds destroy many of these injurious insects.
 In numerous cities bird life is now a required study in the schools and in nine states, the Educatio De- partments have recently issued at tractive and expensive books contain ing elaborate programmes for the use of pupils on bird day, which the state law now requires them to ob- serve.
 on the value of birds to mankind, pu- pills are being taught to build and erect artificial drinking fountains and boxes for nesting places.
 If many species of North Ameri- can birds are to be saved from extinc- tion, the children who are to be the men and women of the next genera tion must be taught that the wild bird has a most pronounced economic val- ue'' said T. Gilbert Pearson, Secre- tary of the National Association. of Audubon Societies, at the office at 1874 Broadway, to-day. "One evidence of this, great awakening is the fact that we have enrolled over 25.000 school children as Junior Members during the past few months. All of these pupils are supplied with colored pictures of American birds and also the best literature which it is pos sible to obtain on the subject
 MT. Pearson further stated that the Associatio was financially able to do this largely on account of the liberal contributions which are being made annually to the cause by Mrs. Russell Sage.

THE RACE WE

One day an infant and old Father Time agreed to run race, Life was chosen to be referee, and keep track of the pace. The world their course, both faced the mark this oddly mated pair. Life gave the signal, off they went, the start was true and fair. AS years passed by they strOle along, neither gaining day or night, Until one day the child sped on and soon was out of sight. At length still running on it reached the quarter stretch of youth, While Time all bent and grim, still pIodded on with figure so un- couth.
 I'll rest while the Youth exclaimed and of earth's pleasures take my fill.
 Old Father Times nowhere in sight I'm sure he must be i'll. Heedless of the fleeing hours to pleasures queen he proved a gs.l- lant knight Till life approaching hastened him away as Father Time was now iu sight.
 Once more with sturdy strides on- ward he goes now half the race iG Both youth and childhood left far be- hind he faces now the setting sun Content was he. to finger. Youths pleasures now no more his heart does thrill Et But Life sternly beckons him along as Time is coming up the hill, With languid strides he tolls along the autumn post is reached he's still ahead, Away with earthly follies now. Time is gaining his heart is filled with dread. Again with trembling steps, he stag gers on, the goal is now in sight. But grim old Time is drawing near never resting dey or night, Nearer and nearer comes the form Old Father Time once more ap- pears
 The man. in fear sinks to the ground all bowed down by the weight of years.
 Soon Time passes by the fallen man and the long race is won Life crowns the victor Death claims the stakes. ',ris, the race we all must run.

LA. TOILETTE. MAY HOLD
 THE BALANCE OF POWER

ement in his makeup. He fights to the last ditch, always, and if he loses he goes down with colors flying and with a cry of defiance.
 In the event of tie, therefore, be- tweeen Taft and Roosevelt, which pol iticians regard as not unlikely, La- Toilette will not give in to either of them. Nobody feels doubt about that. What he will do is a subject of most interesting speculation right now in both Republican camps
 LaFollette says Roosevelt's progress siveisn is a sham and delusion, and LaFollette ought to be able to define progressiveism, since he has been in the midst of it the greater part of his life. He has nointed out in his speeches that while the Colonel is shouting about "the right of the peo- pie to rule." and all that sort of thing. he has had nothing to say about forcing the trusts to cease paying div idends on capitalization of upwards of thirty. billions of dollars, seventy per. cent. of which is water.
 'The trusts of this country don't care snap of their finger about threats to put them out of existence" says LaFollette, until you begin to get specific. As long as the threats are couched in general terms they are indifferent. But when you put your finger. on the sore spots, and say just what you are going to do, and just ex- actly where you are going to insert the knife to cut out the rotten spots, they become uneasy. The trusts. chuckle to themselves every time Roosevelt makes speech"
 LaFollette and his little band of 36 will bear watching.
