GIVE US A LOCAL ARCHITECT.

While the members of the court house
and city hall commission are wrestling
over the matter of the selection of an
architect for the proposed new building,
it might be as well to impress one fact
upon their minds, viz: That they can
not afford, except under very improbable
circumstances, to employ foreign
architect over the heads of our local
architects. 1t is entirely unlikely that
any complications will arise or circum-
stances exist that will make the selec-
ton of an outside architect necessary or
even advisable. There is no argument
in favor of such move, while. for every
reason, the choice should alight upon a
Minneapolis man. In the private bust
ness of a man or corporation it is the
affair of no one where they may 60 to
choose an architect OF builder; but the
commission is public board, and has to
do with the peoples money. That
money should be spent at home, as far
as possible, and that board should en-
courage the local profession, besides in
dorsing it, by giving this appointment
to one of its members. In choosing the
best of the local designs, the commission
can make no mistake. But it can make
grave one by publishing to the world
that of all the architects and building
supervisors of Minneapolis not one is
competent to plan and construct such a
building as the commission desires.
The commission should ponder this.

The Murder Case.

Andrew Demko, the Polack who
killed Maik Porvosnick, on the flats, at
the foot of Washin gtOn avenue south
pleaded not guilty to the Indictment of
murder in the first degree. His trial
was set for May IA. Seagrave Smith
and Judge Rand have been retained to
defend him. Demko IS a thick
set, stupid-looking fellow, and did
not seem to realize the enor-
nifty of the crime with which
he is charged. He wore white band
age about his head, which covered the
wounds made by a Ratchet in the hands
of Maik Croft, the night of the murder.

THAT MAJORITY REPORT

1t would be diff cult to crowd more
hntruthS into thirty-line article than
were contained in statement of the
Tribune in reference to the Republi-
can campaign document, by courtesy
called the annual report of the majority
of the board of police commissioners.
To be brief and explicit, the report,
with the exception of some uninterest-
ing statistics, was read to the council
and was referred to the council commit
tee Oh printing, with instructions to
have $50 copies of the same and $50
copies of the mayors minority report
printed. After the report became the
property of the council, the clerk
of the commission borrowed it, CIV
ing his word that it would be
promptly returned. He was prevented
from keeping his word of honor by the
action of certain police commissioner,
who took the report and has since re-
fused to return it.
This much is certainly plain. If the
board of police commissioners is obi
gated to report to the city council, it's
report becomes the property of the
council as soon as it is read and acted
upon.
To withdraw such a document and
cause it to both printed and distributed
is an impudent defiance of the rules of
courtesy and decency. TO retain and
refuse to return such document might
be considered species of larceny.
However, the GLOBE only wishes to
call attention to the desperate desire of
a certain police commissioner, or COM
missioners, to secure in quasi-official
way the circulation of report which
upon its face was prepared for political
effect

For Girl Employes-A Worthy In
stitution of Its hind.
|, The Woman's Boarding home, at 400
Sixth street south, does not come under
|.the head of charitable institutions, as
Hmany suppose, but is an institution
managed by the Woman's Christian AS
ISOLATION of Minneapolis, and has for it's
sobiect the providing for women, who
are dependent on their own exertiOnS
flor support, a comfortable home, sur
rounded by healthful influences, at as
Flow a rate as the expenses will allow,
and also temporary home for ladies
|sand girls seeking employment. The
home property is owned by the Wom-
Fans Christian association, and is con-
1 trolled by the board of managers, which
consists of the president, vice president,
secretary, treasurer, reception commit
|: tee, purchasing committee and one
member from each church represented
in the association.
While this home is doing a good work
in Minneapolis, it is not what might be
called working girls home, where
sewing girls and the like may stay by
Epaying fair amount of board. The
home does not offer inducements to
such to come and live there, but rather
repels them. The majority of the
women now in the home are clerks,
cashiers and stenographers. The rates
are from So to "a per week, which in
cIudes board and lodging and light and
heating. There are seventeen rooms in
the home, beside the parlor, sitting

| thirty-three women find home there.
A tip through the building yesterday

GIRLS AND THEIR WAGES.

In the results of the Investigations OF
EVA GAY, which have been given by
the SUNDAY GLOBE, the following per-
tinent point has cropped out: Girls VINO
live at home and are not strictly de-
pendent upon their own exertlons can
afford and are willing to work for lower
wages than the girl who is really de-
pendent. The effect of this must be ap-
parent to all. What girl can work for
becomes the standard of wages, and thus
the girl with home works indirectly
against the girl who is forced to fight
her own way in the world. JOHN
LAMB, the commissioner OF labor sta
tistics. was asked whether he had not
traced this same cause and effect and
replied:
In reply to your inquiry rs to whether l
discover a relation between the cost OF living
and the wages paid to working girls, Will say
that this relation is plainly discern1ble IN
many instances In a majority of cases,
where the wages are very low, the girls i've
at home. Where the wages are high they
generally pay board. 1t is plain that II girls
had to pay all their own expenses they couid
not work for three or four dollars a week.
The very fact that some girls can live cheaply
enables them to work cheaply. This condl-
ton of affairs bears with great severity upon
the girls who have nothing to depend upon
but their own earnings. 1t has strong telI-
dency to force down wages.
This is, however, merely a phase III
the operation of a general principle,
which is known and recognized by econ
omists and social philosophers every
where-namely, the tendency of wages
toward minimum under the competi-
tive system.
Under free competition, with access
to natural resources cut off, wages must
fall, eventually, to such all amount as
will Just enable the worker to live, and
raise another worker of equal skill to
take his place when he is gone. In the
case of common unskilled labor there
will be no margin for comfort, refine
ment or education; and only so much for
skilled labor as will enable the laborer
to acquire the necessary skill and edu-
cation to perform his work. Those who
hire labor will pay for skill and educa-
ton only so far as these things are use
full to them. The worker can have no
accomplishments not strictly utilitarian
to his employer; for the man who is
willing to dispense with these extra ac-
complishments-wh always cost time
and effort-can underbid the man who
would otherwise reserve time and
strength, from his regular work, to ac-
quire them.
What is the result? Wages fall to the
level of the man who does not want to
improve himself; the possible earnings
of the individual are limited to his ami
nal necessities.

OVER FOUR-sCoRE.

To the remarkable records of longev-
ity recently published in the GLOBE
should be added that of Nathaniel w.
Chamberlain. of Minneapolis. Born at
Stockbridge, Windsor county, VT. 1902.
he is now eighty-six years Old, hale and
hearty, with an intellect as bright as
that of boy. He is the father of ten
children, three of whom are now living,
and has voted for sixteen presidents
beginning with Adams, in 1924. He
was formerly superintendent of schools
at Fort Ann, Vt, and came to Mime
sofa in 1871, settling at Berlin, Steele
county. He has resided in Minneapolis
two years, living with son at 204
Fourth street south.
Mr.. Chamberlain has used tobacco
steadily for sixty years, and is firmly
convinced that it is not narcotic as is
generally beiieved-at least he has ex-
perienced no deleterious effects from its

HOMES FOR WORKING GIRLS.

While the Women's Christian associa-
ton is doubtless doing good work
through the medium of its boarding
house, described elsewhere, that insti-
tuition does not entirely meet the de-
mand. Its matron frankly says it is
more especially designed for clerks,
whose salaries range from 81 to $40 per
week. 1t is beyond the reach Of the
average working girls, whose utmost en-
deavors cannot scrape together to exceed
S., and who average 81 week. Such a
home is crying necessity in Minneap-
oils, and it is to that end the GLOBE
makes its appeal to the philanthropic
people who are seeking some practical
outlet for their surplus charity. Such
home should be able to furnish clean,
wholesome and respectable board and
lodging at not to exceed $3.50 a week,
and yet be self-sustaining. 1t must not
be considered charity, for the girls

Iof the city should cooperate with the

its revivals of friendship in family re-

what Christian peoples owe to the Ad-
ven: which it celebrates.
Christmas celebrates the birth not of
u provincial or race religion, but of one
for all lands and races. A religion,
whatever its scope may he IN its be-
ginning, to all appearance, u feeble

well established growtl,s of this worlds
society, but it gains power and con-
!quers as it goes. 1t changes former
usagps. customs and institutions,
through the convictions it plants in
mems minds and hearts. A benetcent
religion is known by it's joyous fruits.
The Christian nations now lead the
civilization of the world. Literature,
learning. enterprise, inventive power,
and political dominion. are chiefly in
the hands of the nominally Christian
nations. These nations are by no
means converted to u perfect standard
of Christian faith or morality, but they
are. as they exist to day, UNNECESSARILY
lifted above the plane Of the non
Christian nations. in al! that constitu-
ties Il happy and successful social state.
Christian peoples owe to the religion
which has rendered them invaluable
service in moulding institutions and
educating their people, the duty Of pre-.
serving the institutions of society it has
planted. It ordains day of physical
Iest-a SIbbatic season, in which CAPT
tai is commanded to give snrcease OF

preserve this institute made for man
