To the Editor Of the Globe:
1t is very easy matter to lavish munifcent gifts

the more lavish he Is with ideas Of public improve
ments and the more profusey he expresses himself
as to what ought to be done. AS there is no posi-

since there is very little prospect of my ever hav-

preston to my present ideas. they would be morally
binding upon In case should by remote pos

which much tends to harden the heart of man as

To the Editor of the Globe:
If ST. Paul were all my and had $50,000,00o

First, would construct a sewer to the schools
that have snone.slI would then throw out the Rur-
tan system and present it to Aguinaldo and start
proper method of sanitation all over the schools
would then build schools and get the
competent teachers that could be hired for money
would build magnificent public library; also
ditorum where. in the winter season. people could
go and listen to the best music possible secure az
a very nominal price.
/ would enlarge the park system and have the
best music that possibly could be in each one
OF them during the entire summer, Sunday after
moons included 1 would endow the churches so they
never would be in debt and they could at least
have four good singers and one competent organst.
Would also1 see that the hospitals and charitable IN
situations were properly endowed that the dear
balls ETC. Ges vs
l would furnish money to every reliable young
man who wanted to go into jobbing or manufactur-
Ing. would leave standing order at Wilbur lib
bills w. s. Dennis and Sig SmalPs, that every
man who now smokes pipe and blows the smoke In
my face ON the street in the morning after
have eatensa good breakfast could go and get the
choicest Havana cigars for nothing.
Now, after all this you plainly see my

condition Of almost any who has a large sum
of money that would dispose Of 1t In the way that

That One Thing. Mr.. Larpenteur would
Do With Great Wealth.
To the Editor of the Globe:
In reply to your request under date Of the 9th
inst, to what 1 would do were ST. Paul all my
own and possessing $50000,000 Of means towards
making it an ideal American city.
The amount you suggest almost paralyzes me- and
reminds Of my good old grandfather telling some
friend an anecdote of poor peasant remarking one
day in conversation with some friends that were he
rich he would treat his family a week to a
"soup au lard" Therefore in the present selfish ags
scarcely intelligenty give an answer to your
proposition. Hence I fear to undertake reply
Nevertheless permit me to say this much. Were
ever placed in such circumstances I would try to
emulate some Of worthy citizens, encourage man.
ufactures the arts and Sciences give possible far
ctes to railroads and street services and after
Inducing them to come In our midst try and not en-
barrass them by arbitrary legislation; assist our char
table institutions schools and libraries.
We have never been loyal to our home industries
be it said to our shame My old friend Hechtman.
the founder of st. Paul soap company, has told me-
often: Mr. Larpenteur In order to get my soap
introduced here am obliged to carry it around In
basket and drop It into the housewives washtubs
The dealers do not take hold Of it as they should to
help me. My goods good as any one can make
and deserve the moral influence and patronage of
my neighbors; but no. they must have some other
kind" Same with our -four We had the Capitol
mill here and an elevator along side of it. They
made as good -four as any would wish to use.
But not good enough for st. Paul. Must have Dux-
burys Best. Pratt got rich hauling Duxbury's Best
down to us and we grow poorer today. The Iindeke
mill turns out as good -four as be made from
wheat Still how many of us use it? Our sister CITY
is loyal to her enterprises lesson from them we
should learn. You take a load Of Apple Blossom
flour up there and venture say you could scarcely
give it away. Had we been true to our interests
there is no reason why there would not be today
row of mills and elevators extending from St Peter
street to Washington street. instead Of the sheds we
have.
Notwithstanding all the errors and mishaps Of
