another notice, this time from Sheriff

LEGAL PUBLICATIONS.

The decision rendered by Judge
WILKIN yesterday amounts practically
to reversal of his former ruling relat-
ing to legal publications. AS the law is
now interpreted by the district court,
the weekly publication is recognized as
a newspaper, provided it aims to give
news matter. The wisdom of this modI-
fed decision is approved by every con-
sideration of public policy. As the law
was first interpreted by the district
court. endless confusion would have re-
suited and vast property interests been
endangered. These difficulties have been
avoided by yesterdays decision, and the
winter of discomfort endured by the
weekly journals will now be converted
into glorious summer.

that the weekly papers affected by
Judge WILKINS former ruling have

THE DfS1ILlIERY SALE.

The swallowing up of the st. Paul dis
tillery by the whisky trust was an UNI
fortunate occurrence at this particular
crisis in the industrial development of
the city. Here was manufacturing
industry established by home capital
and popularity supposed to have been q
success. Our people manifested local
pride in the distillery's prosperous ca
reer. and were fond OF referring to it as
All evidence of what could be done by
home capital and home enterprise. 1t
was held up as an announcement to
outside capital to seek investment in
our midst, and was done with good CT
feet, too.
We do not undertake to say that the
distillery will be less prosperous under
its new ownership than under the old,
nor do we hold out the idea that it will
be operated in any way to the disad-
vantage of st. Paul. But at this time,
when the popular prejudice against
trusts is so strong, and when
all established industries are in
perpetual terror Of their power
and influence. it is misfortune that
the trust should have gotten foothold
in this community. Many Eastern
manufacturing plants that have been
practically frozen out by the combines
are casting their eyes westward, with
the hope of finding some place that was
free from trust domination. Up to with
in a recent date, both st. Paul and Min
neapolis offered an exceptional induce
ment in this respect; but, now that the
Touring mills of Minneapolis and the
st. Paul distillery have passed into the
ownership of combines, we will have
to take chances with other Western
cities.
1t is one of the curses of trust domi-
nation that individual enterprise and
home capital can avail but little. Com
bines have to be met with combines :,
and aggregatlons of capital with aggre-
gated capital. Taking the general
effect upon our industrial development
into consideration, it would have been
better if the st. Paul distillery had
never been built than that it should
have been built to pass into the owner
ship of the whisky trust.

HOW TO VOTE.

From the number of inquiries flood
ting the GLOBE Office concerning tue
operation OF the new election law. we
are led to believe that the voters of this
city are industriousiy preparing them
self for a judicious exercise of the bal
lot franchise next week. We are graft
fed to observe this Indication of gen
eral interest in municipal affairs. for it
isa sure sign that the best ticket is 60
ing to be elected. which means the fe-
election of Mayor SMITH and the sue
cess of the ticket which he heads.
The GLOBE has endeavored to give
succinct explanation of the Australian
voting system, but as it is mat ter of
such universal interest at this time. and
so important that the voter should I'M
derstand his duties under the new law.
we will run the risk of becoming tire
some by repetition.
We take it for granted that every
voter has sufficient intelligence to find
his way to the voting booth on election
day, SO we will waste no time in pre-
liminary explanations.
When in the booth the officer of cleo
ton will furnish him with an official
ballot, containing the names Of all can
dldates for municipal offices, with the
partisan status of each candidate prop
erly designated. This ballot is to be
tiled out by the voter without the aid
or intervention of any one else, unless
he is illiterate, in which case the officer
Of election will fill out the ballot accord
ing to the voters direction.
The voter prepares his ballot by put
ting an X mark opposite the name of
each candidate for whom he proposes to
vote, unless lie wishes to vote a straight
party ticket, and in that event an x
mark opposite the name Of the candi-
date for mayor on the ticket of his
choice will be counted as vote for the
entire ticket.
Remember, however, that if more
than one Y mark appears on the ballot
the vote will be counted only for those
candidates who are designated by the
X mark. Thus. if you wish to vote for
one candidate OH an opposition ticket,
or for an independent candidate, you
will have to put an X mark opposite the
name of each candidate for whom you
intend to vote.
Not for partisan reason. but simply
because we believe the best interests of
the city demandtit, we advise all voters
to avoid confusion by putting a single
X mark on their ticket, aud to put that
opposite the name Of Robert A. Smith.
There will be no risk In casting such
ballot as that.
And there may be very serious risks
in attempting to mongreize your
ticket,

YOUTHFUL SUICIDES.

While the question of compulsory at
tendance upon public schools is being
considered as a department of state
effort, it may be noted that in Germany
the government has, as reported in re-
cent dispatches, been impelled to in
Stitute an investigation of the causes
of the numerous suicides among the
pupils in the schools. This inquiry in
dictates that il is not local or casual
freak, but that cases of self-destructlon
are so frequent and widespread as to in
dictate some melting tendency in the
school regimen. 1t must be epidemic,
or there would not be occasion for in-
quiries of all the directors of the public
schools. That country has long been
the chief eXemplar of the enforced edu-
cational system. 1t is held up as ma
ton where illiteracy is unlawful and
unknown. 1t is the model for the
educational system of other progress
sive and enlightened people. 1t is OPP
Grated on the high pressure plan, and
that it stimulates the mental forces alb
normally seems to be reasonable con-
clusion from the suicidal tendency.
Seif-deStruction. with the youth who
are in the glow of adolescent enthusi-
asm, and yet unacquainted with the
tolls and friction that make existence
often hard to endure, is phenomenon.
Suicide is not rare with adult Germans
or Americans, and is alleged to be
growing in frequency. The specific in
fiuences. if there are such, in the Ger
man system, aside from excessive pres
sure, are not indicated. German writ
ers have alleged that the effect of the
ambitious school programme of the
country has been to over-crowd the pro-
fessional and favorei business lines
with youths half-trained and with
out native qualifications for the
callings to which the pretentiouS
tumble of the schools has led
them to aspire. They have failed to
meet the eXigencies of the chosen
pursuit or to find tenabIe foothold.
Thousands of them have made failures;
life has become an insupportable mis-
fortune, and they have sought to leave
it. Self-deStruction has been the natural
recourse. They have not been thor
oughly grounded in the clements of
education, but crammed and forced at
the expense of mental digestion, and
not fitted for the work that life offers
them. The philosophy that traces the
examples of adults down to the ranks of
youth and children has varied phases,
very considerably speculative, that it is
not necessary to consider. The point
that should commend itself to the
thoughtful is that the tendency of much
in the modern educational systems is to

A POSSIBLE USE.

Some of the captious would have the
use of the gongs on the street cars dis
placed by whistles. but thew are proba-
bly, dull of ear or insensible to harmony
and the artistic in vibrations. Those who
would have the whistle in place of the
gong or bell are of the class fit for STRAIT
agems and obnoxious things generally.
But there is possible improvement on
the present method. 1t is suggested by
the perfection of the phonograph. This
is being made to repeat the voices Of
orators and singers. Probably some de-
vice will yet be able to magnify the
sound indefinitely. Even il not, the
full reproduction of the original volume
will be. sufficient. The scheme is to
have the conductor turn Oh the phono-
graph in the strong and pleasing voice
