The Midtown Gas and Electric Com

made every effort to please the citizens

this district. Don't you think we deserve

This day tells tomorrow
What of yesterday,
A. Whether joy or sorrow
Stood beside the way;
Whether pain or pleasure,
Whether sun or rain
Made the days full measure
One of loss or gain.
Night to night is showing
What has come and gone
In the current flowing
from gray dusk to dawn
In the current steady
Goes from sun to sun,
Ready or unready,
All that we have done.
All the dim to-morrows
Stretching far away!
Each one somehow borrows
Cladness of to-day;
And the nights unending
Echo us our dreams,
Wreathing them, and blending
Them in happy CLEANS.
Day to day is calling
And tomorrow knows,
Whether glad or calling;
Whether thorn or rose;
Whether deed or thinking;
All that we have done
Day to day is linking
All from sun to sun.
Night to night replying
Murmurs through the dusk,
AS a cleaner signing
Over grain and husk,
Day to day is bringing
Something for our good
We might sense the singing
IF we understood.

STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN.

Vance Chapman, 'The County Chair
man." usually well-informed on state
politics, and very close to the Cas-
we'll hornton-Arneson wing of the
republican party, intimates that Lieut..
Gov. Frankson is receiving much en-
| enlargement to get into the race for
the republican nomination for COVER
! nor, and has this reference to the mat
ter in his weekly letter to the country
press: ~
Lieut.. Governor Frankson, who
many think will be seen in the next
republican gubernatorial contest, adj
mits that he is being strongly urged
to get into the game. He says he has
had many offers of support during the
last two weeks. "I'll admit that I am
pleased over the kind things that are
being said about me-" said Mr.. Frank
son this week, 'but it is entirely too
early for me to make answer. al
ways liked politics, but my business
will not permit over activity. It must
have my first consideration. I may
have something to say to the boys
soon. Perhaps it will not be what they
want, but they will know I am with
them" If Mr.. Frankson does get into
the gubernatorial game the voters will
know that his name is on the ballot.
He is regarded as the best advertising
man in the state.
Our advice to Mr.. Frankson-
it is friendly advice, would be to
weigh matters carefully in his own
mind before entering the race for gov.
ernor next year. If Mr.. Burnquist,
Mr.. Frankson and Mr.. Lindbergh-the
latter backed by the Nonpartisan
league-should all be candidates for
the republican nomination for COVER
nor the outcome, to say the least,
would be extremely doubtful. .

What has become of the so-called
Peoples Council, the pacifist organiza-
ton that has been driven from pillar
to post in an effort to find towns
which would permit of it's holding
meetings to denounce the government
and sow seeds of sedition? One news
paper says the members of this
despicable organization are holding
secret "conspiration meetings." but
we scarcely think this possible under
the strict surveillance now exercised
by agents Of the department of justice.
The Peoples Council should, fgurative-
ly speaking, be pounded on the head
with a sledgehammer and buried in
quicklime.

If the recommendation of Secretary
of War Baker is observed congress
will not raise the draft age above the
present maximum. Mr.. Baker has,
however, no objection to reducing the
minimum to 10. That limit was adj
yised by him in his original sugges-
tion. From present indications the
war secretary's advice will be needed.
This age limit would seem to be all
that is necessary at the present time,
but in case of future necessity it
could easily be changed.

the state auditor for mining iron ore
under the bed of one of the lakes in
st. Louis county in accordance with a
law enacted at the last session of the
legislature. The minimum royalty to
be paid the state, as fixed in the
original bill, was rs cents per ton, but
R. c. Dunn offered an amendment fix
ing the minimum royalty at so cents
per ton, which was adopted. That ad,
ditional rs cents per ton may mean
later on millions of dollars to the trust
funds of the state.

ST. PAUL DISGRACED.

St. Paul was again disgraced by
riotous demonstration last Sunday
evening. A meeting Of striking street
car employees and their sympathizers
was held at Smith park and was adj
dressed by several political dema-
gogues. When the meeting terminated
many Of those who attended it, doubt
less inspired by the rotten oratory
they had listened to, proceeded to
wreck street cars, cut trolley wires,
slug faithful employees Of the company,
maltreat passengers and raise hell
generally. For hours the mob seems
to have had complete control without
let or hindrance and the damage in
f1icted on property of the street car
company was very considerable, and
many people were severely injured.
st. Paul was supposed to be we'll
governed city, and the Union has on
more than one occasion especially
commended the police force of that
city, but the disgraceful performances
of last Sunday evening, which were
simply a repetition of what had oc-
cured few Sundays previously, leads
us to believe that Chief O'Connor has
completely lost his grip and that his
men are badly demoralized or woe
fully inefficient. The mayor and
the sheriff are also dese CRYING of the
severest censure and both Of them
ought to be summarily removed from
office-we are pleased to note that
Governor Burnquist has already
suspended the sheriff, and he never
ought to be reinstated. The people of
the state will indorse the governors
action.
The controversy between the street
car company and small minority of
it's employees is contemptibly trivial
wear or not wear a button. Men have
right to strike no matter how incon-
sequential their grievance, but they
and their sympathizers have no right
to prevent others from working, to
destroy property and murderously as
sault their fellow-employees and men,
women and children who are obliged
to travel on the street cars.
Mob law cannot be tolerated in the
Twin Cities or anywhere else in Min
nesota. If the local authorities fail or
refuse to protect life and property
! then it is the governors duty to act,
and we have governor who will fear
lessly do his duty and he will be sup
ported by the law-abiding people of
the state.
It seems incredible, but it is the

Entertainments other than those
given for patriotic benefit purposes
should at this particular time be
abandoned-except, Of course, the
movies and the Boy Scouts, which are
doing their bit between times. The
American people are exceedingly gen.

upon to "dig up" for entertainments
which are absolutely put on for mere
mercenary purposes. Entertainments
to benefit the nation in it's conflict, in
addition to donations, constitute a
sufficient drain upon the citizens ex-
chequer. Cut the extraneous shows
out for the time being.
