FROM LOT Line
TO LOT Line
As City Owns All of Street 1t
Should Clean Sidewalks
Itself.

The city claims the ownership OF
the streets from lot line to lot line
and all distractions on the sidewalks
from news stands to snow are there
with its permission. 1t rents space on
sidewalks at it's own sweet will. 1t
should. therefore, keep the sidewalks
as well as the rest of the streets clean.
But 1t does not. The money that the
city should spend on the cleaning OF
dirty sidewalks is wasted on 81, 100000
worth of unnecessary job holders.

SURGEON GENERAL FRANKS
APPEAL.

Colonel Jacob Frank, Surgeon Gen
eral of Illinois, has issued the follow.
ing appeal to physicians and sur.
geons:
You are just as important to the
army and navy as powder and shrap
mel.
The success of this war depends to
great extent upon your ability to
protect and maintain the health of the
officers and men.
The medical department is acknOwl'
edged to be one of the most important
and necessary branches of the entire
military service.
The medical departments of the
armies now warning abroad are re-
turning to the firing line 80 per cent
of the sick and wounded.
The American Ambulance Corps re-
covered and saved the lives of 100000
men in one year from the battlefelds
of France. Hundreds of thousands OF
lives have been saved In the present
European war by the advanced knowl
edge of medicine and field surgery
Millions of lives have been saved by
the modern methods of camp santa
ton, the prevention of camp diseases
epidemics, etc.
In modern warfare the army does
not travel entirely as Napoleon said
upon its stomach" but upon the abil
ity of the medical departments to
keep the men in good health and OF
the firing line.
The medical profession has always
shared the responsibilities in all wars
on land and sea. Now is the time tc
show your patriotism and share the
responsibilities.
The state OF Illinois probably will
| need 400 medical officers with the
rank of First Lieutenant to Major.
Apply to the Surgeon General o.

The funeral of old John. Bar
leycorn on July 1 will be very
exclusive. Only the most init
mate friends of the old timer will
attend the obsequies and there
is special request for "no
flowers.
The daily papers tell their
readers what a beautiful clock
we have. They describe the
carved case, the gilded hands and
the hand-painted door. The Rip
saw opens up the door, shows
the people how the wheels run
and, when anything is wrong,
how to fix it.

1t may be considered etiquette

THE DIRTY COAL DUST.

Considerable complaint is heard
concerning the dust, dirt and
smut that comes from coal
wagons unloading into the fire
rooms in the big downtown
buildings. A good example Of the
nuisance can be seen near the
rear of the Lyceum building on
Fifth avenue West. There are
two coal holes there, both disable
for the same purpose, it is de-
clared, one in the alley and the
other near the curb on the ave-
nue.. There many a white dressed
has been ,soiled beyond further
wear. Many a fair face has
been smutted. Even little babies
get a gust of coal dust in the
face and no longer are pre-
sentable in their proper circle Of
society. Even the shops along
there get we'll covered and be-
smudged with coal dust, greatly
to damage of goods. Opinion is
expressed that the alley coal
holes can be used in most cases,
thereby6making life happier for
many.

was the sense of having done the

For the past ten days the
daily papers have been printing
the portrait Of U. S. senator
Knute Nelson, who is serving
the last of four six-year terms
in the upper house Of congress,
with the information that he will
not be a candidate for another
term.
This announcement, of course,
may not be final with the sena-
tor. He may be feeling out the
situation. He may wish to smoke
out some of the younger as.
pirants. Senator Nelson is as
cunning as a pet fox when it
comes to practical politics.
But this announcement has set
loose a number of boomlets.
Among those who are supposed
to have up lightning rods are
mentioned Clarence B. Miller,
Sydney Anderson, Elias B. Steen-

The Bear River News springs
the rather startling information
that Fred W. Bessette would not
at all object to succeed Odin
Halden as auditor Of St. Louis
county. Mr.. Bessette halls from
Orr, away up on the pellucid
waters Of Pelican lake. He
served the Sixtieth district as
representative in the late legis-
lature. He was born at Mantor-
vile, Mimi, in 1877, and has res
sided in st. Louis county for IS
years. For three years he was
district ranger in the Minnesota
Forest Service. That and his
legislative experience enable him
to know what a public paycheck
looks like.
John H. Norton served the
county as attorney and then
passed the job to his first assist
ant, Warren E. Greene. Mr..
Greene is credited with being
willing, under satisfactory con-
ditions, to sit as a district judge
in the marble=lined courthouse
or even to go to congress if the
call is loud enough. In the event
Of being called to other public
service, it is generally conceded
that Mason Forbes, now first as

do his best to take Mr.. Greene s
desk and title. But there's a big,

although not so bulky as Mr..
Dacey, that spine of his is some

for a sprinting place.

Editor Brown of the Chisholm
Tribune<Herald pushes forth the
opinion that Victor L. Power is
far too big a man to run for
governor and that his abilities
are more useful on the iron
ranges. In discussion of the
matter, the Mesaba Ore in part
says:
"There is a growing demand
for a big, able, conscientious,
fearless man like Mr.. Power at
the head Of affairs in Minnesota,
and we hope the pressure will
become so strong that he cannot
resist it. Minnesota needs a man
like him as it's chief executive
needs a man with the strength,
ability, vision and courage, and
Mr.. Power possesses those among
his many other qualifications.
"The call for Mr.. Power to
become a candidate for governor
is not coming from the aristoc-
racy of the state. No, indeed.
1t is coming from the people who
recognize in him the one man
who could and would give the
state back to the people, and pro-
tect them against the ever IN.
