HOME RULE THE THING.

st. Paul's civic federation has decided that
the Howard charter won't do. The old char
tiers are certainly insufficient. So the only
thing left is to adopt home rule and let each
city make its own constitution. If a sage
brush state is competent to do that a COM
pact community where the intelligence Of the
neigEborhood is centered is certainly up to
the task.-Duluth Commonwealth.
The above extract from the Duluth
Commonwealth expresses the sober
common sense of the majority If home
rule is good thing for a large COM
munity, for the nation or for the
state, it is a better thing for the
smaller on, the city; for the most
pressing needs Of city are those
which cannot be fully comprehended
by any outsider. 1t has always been
and always will be impracticable to
obtain just the right legislation for
municipalities from a state legislature.
The people of a city are just as capa-
BILE Of governing themselves as are the
people of country, state or nation.
They have just the same right to re-
sent outside interference and to chafe
against the imperfections Of regula-
tons laid dowrs affoF their government
by persons who ARE not in sympathy
with their needs, and not qualified,
because not of the same community, to
pass upon them. TO

HE POINTS THE MORAL.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Read over your article, wholly Incompe-
tent" and ask yourself what would happen
If congress would adjourn, not for ten years,
but for ten thousand. Would not the effect
on business be a thousand times as good :?
And, If so, why should not business men
recognize anarchists as their best friends?
II you have no answer, | can suggest enc.
The business men are fooled by the politi-
clans. Government is fully great a curse
to the rich as to the poor, If they only had
brains enough to see it. &C. L. James.
Eau Claire, Wis.
While our correspondent takes an eX-
IRENE and impractical view Of the
situation upon which we have COM
mented, his communication does serve
to point a moral. A physician frequent
ly orders a patient who has been eat
ing too much food, or a wrong kind
gether. 1t does not follow from this that
perennial starvation would be found
a wholesome regimen for everybody.
We could get along without legisla-
ton for a considerable period of years
simply because all statute books are
overwhelmed with an excess of laws,
many of them either unnecessary or
unwise, or both, and the Interval Of
abstinence from law-making would give
time to the people to digest these and
to accommodate themselves to exist
ing circumstances. 1t does not follow,
of course, that new conditions would
not arise in the future requiring prac-
teal action to meet them.
Another point which our correspond
ent fails to appreciate is that legisla-
ton is not the whole of government.
To get along without any new laws is
a very different thing from abolishing
government altogether. The execution
Of the enormous body Of laws now in
force by the proper authorities would
still constitute government Of a real
and effective kind. What this gentle
man means to say, as we understand
it, and the real point Of the matter is
that the curse Of the country today is
government by politicians who do not

The business Of law-making in the
United States, taken as a whole, has
fallen into utterly incompetent hands.
1t is not so much ability that is want
ing, as it is right principle and con-
scientious devotion to the public in
terest. Now, drive right home the
bolt Of responsibility for this. 1t lies
nowhere else than with the people
themselves. Their executive officers
and their lawmakers are precisely such
as they, of their own free will, choose
it exists, the general refusal of bust
ness men to "go into politics" is to
blame There is not one state in the
Union, there is not one large city,
there is not one congressional district

men could not if they chose, by throw
ing themselves into political activity,
from the caucus and the primaries up
to the general election, with the same
earnestness that they devote to their
own affairs, secure the election of such
men as would make government, if not

has already expressed its opinion of
the Howard charter, which is not only
foreign to the habits and needs of st.
crease Of abuses from which we have
suffered in the past. But to those who
think otherwise, who have used such
powerful magnifying glasses as to dis
cover in the Howard charter duties
ana illnesses invisible to us, we might
ask why they should not be satisfied
as we'll with the proposal to adopt
home rule. If the general principles
laid down in the Howard charter are
wise and eXpedient, and commend
themselves to our people, then they
would undoubtedly be incorporated in
such charter as the people should
frame for themselves.

Every business man who has had to
take into his employment the gradu-
ates of our grade or high schools will
bear witness how little there was in
their education to fit them for the work
required. The stenographer who wrote
that the house was fitted with all
modest appliances was simply ig-
norant of the trade use of the word
"modern.'' The practical details of
accounting, calculating profits and
losses, cost and percentages, the tech
nical terms Of business, the modern
methods of transacting business, of
these the boy from the school has lit
tie or no conception. He steps from a
familiar to all unfamiliar world when
he leaves his school and enters. the
business house. He is handicapped by
what he does not know, and finds much
that he does know useless to him.
There is here a practical field for eff
fort by our business organizations.

THE NEW LAUREATE.

NOW that England has a new laIre-
ate, she is not pleased with him. This
lamentable condition of affairs could
have been avoided if Lord Salisbury
mad read the G o b e, not to mention
some Of the New York Journals. at the
time Mr.. Austin was first mentioned
as Tennyson's possible successor The
expressions of the American press were
as freely disappearing before his ap-
pointment as those of the British pa
pers have since become. He is being
very severely handled by his compatri-
OTIS just now on account of his first

seen it.
1t is true that the few stanzas Of
this production which have as vet

mediocre beyond belief. At first glance
they suggest Kipling-and-wate but
another look convinces the reader that
this phrase does an injustice to a gen
ulne poet. Not in the thousandth di-
luton could Kipling be so weak New

encouragement from the right quarter
would prevent the publication of any
more official poems like the first. 1t is
not necessary for a laureate to earn his
stipend by furnishing tinkling ac-
compartment in verse to the national
life. 1t is not so much an active as a
passive office, and a man who cannot
honor it by his acceptance of it can
hold it in respectful silence, for the

This cool ignoring of the assistance

affairs committees of the senate and

might, indeed, be made the basis for
something in the nature of an indem-

be made the basis of a demand that
the English government take meas

might agree TO arbitrate the matter;

a case for patriotic twisting of the
