A Fitting Tribute To The
Late Governor, Winfield
Scott Hammond

In the recent death of Governor Winfield
Scott Hammond. the Nation has lost one Of it's
illustrious statesmen the State Of Minnesota its
leading citizen. and the people of the state
true friend.
The following, taken from the ST. Paul
Pioneer Press of January 4th. pays finer trib-
ute to the deceased than any euloey The Mirror
is capable of expressing and we therefore re-
print it for the benefit Of our readers who have
not had the pleasure Of reading Dr. Harry Fish
er S address over the dead Governor S bier at
St. James. Mimi Below will be found
portion of the:-
"FinaI Tribute to The Gopher
States Dead Governor"
Rev. Harry w. Fisher. pastor Of the Pres
byteriian Church of St. James. In delivering the
funeral address over the body of Governor Ham
mond. said:
Governor Hammond is dead: the merchant
drops his yard stick the laborer his shovel. the
author his pen and the student his books: the
world looks on IN amazement and sorrow.
America has produced many men who were
great In every sense of the word. Each state
has shared IN contributing that which has made
our country and government great But to my
opinion no section has produced greater man
than was our friend and fellow citizen who has
fallen from our midst Minnesota has been
greatly aided IN attaining her PROPER place of
prominence by the life whose departure this at
<
ternoon mourn.
The life Of this man ought to kindle hope
and enthusiasm IN the bosom of every struggling
person. Many young people tell me they have
no chance to be anybody. They say. yonder is
fellow who started with plenty of money here
is man who married large estate. another man
was sent thru the best universities by his pa
rents And they say: / have no money no ed
ucation. no chance.
There is a lesson here I dare not pass Bly,
Our Governor passed to the great beyond like
the snuHiing out Of candle. far from his home
and beloved state. He passed quickly from life
to his eternal reward But one thing we are
glad to state is. that Winfield Hammond had
not waited until this time to prepare for eternity
He faithfully served his God and loyalty SUP
ported his church. He has passed from death
unto life.

.JTTNEY HERE TO STAY IN
 SPITE OF SOME OBJECTORS

|, transportation would be greatly cheapened and still much more slightly.
 However, this is not an argument pro or con, for the jitney-it is to plead for the public good that all suggestions be
 brought to the right place for considera- tion. For instance, as to the marking of the jitney or motor bus, it is marked
 under the new license" commercial on
 every car operated for the purpose of
 general use. That immediately shows ! that it is public carrier. Other ordi-
 nances affecting the use of jitneys may not be known to cover these specified tionS A driver must have a permit for which he pays $2. He must not exceed the speed limit, has a definite place to
 let passengers out or on, must not make change while running the car, wears a badge and has to register as a driver or chauffeur. This registration includes not lsonly the name, age, which must not be less than IS years and reputation of the driver as to his soberness; but the name of the maker of the machine, factory number and power of the engine. He must also meet all requirements as to traffic regulations.
 This is certainly conclusive proof that the city has undertaken a thorough in- vestigation for the safety of the people regarding the motor bus, or jitney, and commends itself to our cooperation. Remember, gentle public, we must again
 reterate, the bus is here to stay. It may f1uctuate in popularity according to the weather or other conditions. It may be
 adjudged an intrusion; it may be con- sidered menace by the ultra fastidious, but it has come as fore runner of bet ter things. It is a great step in civic progress and spells prosperity to the town. Slow progress in transportation will no longer be considered. We are all imbued with the spirit of American rush." and the motor bus is a part of the great changing scheme of things.

T want to use the street cars, but the schedules are so poor I can't always wait for them," was remarked by busy man several days ago Well, there is the jitney," some one made answer. Yes. but there are so many objectionable things about them, and, besides, I don't like to encourage this kind of traffic" A young woman standing near said: You are right MT. Man. I am always afraid of being insulted when l get in a car with strange man. Yes" said an- other woman, Mother never allows our little sister to ride in them at all''
 An elderly gentleman hearing the con- versation stated in no measured terms that the "d- autos are so rickety a per- son fears for his life before he reaches town.'' Another objected to the jitney speed, another to the unfitness of the driver; still another to the awful unfair ness" to the franchised street cars being impoverished this way. Mrs. Tom had her objection, MT. Dick had his, and as for Mrs. Harry, we'll, the driver might have tuberculosis and thus every pat ron woupld be subjected to the dread of the T. B. plague"
 And you, dear reader, may find some still unspoken objection, but-the jitney bus has come to stay. It's not just a hit and miss city nuisance; it's not just a convenience for the busy persons, it's not just a fad, it's one of the manifestations of an ever changing evolution
 Let's look the case straight in the eye even if We have to see the street railway with a gun at our heads. The jitney bus is the next step in our civic evoltion, that's all, just as the trolley car came after the cable car and the cable car came after the horse car, and the horse car came after the dummy line. The jit- ney bus is the forerunner of a system of busses much like the ones already run ming in this city, or the line that goes up Fifth avenue in New York. To be sure, it should be regulated, it ought to be.
 There should be some requirements as to speed regulations marking busses, character bonds to protect the public from possible highway robbery, of the women from insult(O, street tax for the use of thoroughfares, etc., and each or all for the safety of the pedestrian. But even this won't affect the jitney bus; just stop and think about it.
 Here in Birmingham we are crying the eternal doctrine of City Beautiful" and we are right. Ask any reai estate man if city residence property isn't more sale able where street cars do not run, with possibly Highland avenue as the excep- ton and the width of the avenue would account for that.
 The jitney is a method of transporta- tion that will not tear up streets and dis figure them with unsightly poles, or bring into quiet districts the changing of bells or the noise of the street car. On the other hand, many districts may be reached by the jitney where otherwise the car could not go. The entire method of

Sometimes my heart would beat so it felt like 1t was about ready to jump out of my body. l was getting weaker and weaker every day and fell off until I only weighed 169 pounds. I was simply all out of sorts and 1t was mighty hard matter for a-- to keep up with my work. Some tirpes when I had to stoop over on job my back ached so it felt like it would almost break.

I began to strengthen up, and now after taking three bottles of Tanlac. I can truthfuIly say that I feel like a different per- son; I feel better than have felt in many years. My work IS much more pleasant and isn't near so hard to do as it used to be. My indiges- ton has been relieved and I haven't pain about me now. I weighed the other day and tipped the scales at 124 pounds, which is b pounds more than l weighed when I began taking the medicine.

For the past few days it has been cold. Thus the motion pie ture men have lost money The situation has been that people would rather freeze at home than come to the movies at night and be amused which is embarrassing to box office receipts. Therefore will the generous public refrain from remaining by the smoky fire side these cold nights and attend the picture shows for the exhibi- tors say their halls of amusement are grand places of comfort and re- creation and well worth wintry exploration.

ENGLISH TRADE METHODS

As long ago as 1910, England was car rying on vigorous competitive struggle in Argentina with intent to maintain the Argentine markets against American commodities. One of the methods adopted by her representatives in Ar gentna was to boycott the centennial exposition being persuaded that if they did this the Americans would withdraw from the exposition. That attempt was la failure, for the American exhibitors were the only ones who were ready when the exposition opened. The incident however. discloses one of the many meth ods England is taking to maintain her South American markets

ENGLAND IN ARGENTINA

To prove his statements, MT. Wands gives some concrete illustrations of the manner in which England is striving to hold her South American markets. The representatives of England in South America, and especially in Argentina, have for some time been offering to sup ply the markets there with commodities for which there is American competition and to sell these commodities at so low a price as to command the market. Prob ably they are sold substantially at cost the sole purpose being to hold the mar kets until England is again in position completely to dominate them.
 Some time in the fall, the Argentine government asked for bids for locomotive fiushes These are among the compo- nent parts of locomotive engines and they are made of copper The aggregate of the commodities for which Argentina asked for bids was large. Five English bids were put in and three American. Not withstanding the high price of copper that England is compelled to pay in or der to get it, all of the English bids were lower than the American and one was so low that it seemed impossible that the commodity could be manufac ctured and delivered in Argentina at any profit. The award was made to the English man. ufacturer who put in that very low bid
