MIND youR own RusfNEss

The special meeting of the board Of
education held yesterday afternoon was
remarkable in many directions. The
statement adopted at that Iaeeting as to
the undesirable conditions which attend
school administration in this city is no
doubt true, and worthy of Careful con-
sideration Its issuance at this time
there is no disposition on the part of
the G. o b to criticise. Had the board
Of school trustees thought proper to con-
fine itself to the PRONUNCIATION of that
or any corresponding statement there
would be little fault to be found with
it. But it's members evidently We're not
cortent to mind their own business and
They thought fit to proceed to advise
the people of this community what they
should dc in the way of providing them
selves with new system of local or
ganic legislation and how they should
do it, This, we repeat, was no part of
the business of the board. and that body
in such an undertaking.
What the views of the individual mem
beers of that board may be is of very
little moment to the people of this COM
munity, certainly of no more moment
than are the views of any like number
of citizens, with or without any official or
representative character attached to
them Either the members CT the board
sadly overestimate their individual and
aggregate Importance as citizens or they
choose to ignore, if they ever knew, what
was the proper limit TO place upon their
public performances.
There is, of course, no special signif1-
canoe to be attached to the request mad :
by the board of education that the mayor
shall call a special meeting of the coun-,
ell for the purpose of having the dis
trict judges appoint charter commission.
Had the board or its members confined
themselves to doing this their action
might very probably be regarded as en-.
tirely gratuiteas and harmless. But

particularly interesting political study to

FUNsT0N's CHARGES.
Archbishop Ireland Talks About
Them to II Chicago Reporter.

Archbishop Ireland returned from the
East yesterday. While I'm Chicago Tues
day a reporter asked the archbishop II
he had any answer to make to the state
ment attributed to the Kansas general
to the effect that IF congress would
drive out the friars and confiscate every
inch OF church property the bottom
would drop out of the Instruction in
one week, as the inhabitants of Luzon
are completely under the church The
archbishop Is quoted as saying:
"A specific charge of deSecrating a
Catholic church with his own hands has
been made against Gen. Funston, and it
Is for him to prove that 1t is not so. If 1t
is untrue he should compel the one maxi
ing it to retract. There have been enough
charges ard countercharges along this
line since the Philippine war opened
archbishop Chappelle, of New Orleans,
has replied to the statement attributed
to Funston, and I do not care to add
anything to what he said. In the San
Francisco Monitor, Catholic paper, the
charge was made recently that Gen.
Funston, during one of his expeditions,
took from Catholic church costly vest
ment which he sent to his wife n
souvenir of the campaign. The charge
was made in such specific form
that it carries the appearance of truth.
If it is true the American people will
draw their own conclusions. If 1t is not
true Funston should correct it. There
has been too much of this sort of thing
based on general assertions which has not
been definitely proven. Here is q
charge presented in a way to be easily
corrected if it is false. 1t is for Funston
to act. These charges have tended to
keep the people in disturbed state of
mind and have done harm. Hereafter
they should not be made unless accom-
panied by proof"

Fire that threatened to destroy the com

Of the building shortly after o clock yes
terGay morning and for more than an
hour the department fought the flames
al great disadvantage until the ire was
finally eXtinguished, with an estimated
by insurance.
The origin of the fire is mystery. 1t
is believed, however, to have been start
ed by rats and matches. as there was no
fire left in the store the night before, ana
the electric lights were turned off With
in few minutes after the department
got to work they met an obstacle that
severely handicapped their efforts. The
fire was burning about the firm $ refrlgef-

pressed ammonia escaped. The pungent
gas drove the firemen from their posi-
tions, and several of the men were made
sick by inhaling the strong fumes

KEEPERS FAyORITIsM.
Causes Comment In the Central Pro-
hibition Club.

The Central Prohibit on club met Mon
day night at its temporary quarters in
the Reardon block and ordered its COM
mittee to draft the following expression
of sentiment upon the contention between
Mayor Kiefer and the commission men:
That the esalcoa- men have more iufiu-
ence with Mayo Kiefer than the bus3-
ness men of ST, Paul, is evidenced by
the ais Lutte ind ference upon the part
of the mayor to the continuous violation
Of the laws against open saloons on
Sunday and agar selling LIQUOR to
minors, IN striking contrast W tn the zeal
he rnanifests in enforcing law against OBJ
sttucting sidew alks by the bushes; IN n
of the. city. He permits the saloon mn.
to enjoy immunity from all law. We
cannot account for this discrepancy in
the mayors cficial conduct, except that
he is conscious of the fact that the
loon men will hold him to a Strict ac-
count at the ballot box for his actions,
while the business men vote for their
party candidate regard ess of conse-
quenees. We Go not complain against the
enforcement of any law ON the statute
books. Our complaint is that the voia-
tors of the liquor laws should be unpun-

THE WAY our.

1t is surely a desperate plight into
which our officeholders have forced this
city. The mere one looks for a way out
the more dark and dismal does the pros
pect seem. There is but one way cut;
and that way the G o b e repeats, is
through the adoption of a new charter
a new. not an old charter, or a patched
charter embodying all the evils but one
which now beset us.
When the officeho,ders started out to
make political capital by reducing the
taxable value of the property of the peo-
pie of our city, they evidently forgot that
restriction as to the two and a half
mills only for school purposes. Hence,
the hole in which We are now placed OF
being unable to raise money enough to
properly sustain our schools. Had they
left that valuation as it was, the people
would not have been called on to pay
dollar more of taxes than they have paid
since, and we would have ample money
at our disposal to pay for our schools.
Whichever way one looks for an escape
he finds the work. of the off1ceholding
conspiracy rising before him as an al
most impenetrable barrier.
This school difficulty is not the whole
thing. There are other grievances which
the people of ST. Paul have as the re-
suit of the stupidity and cupidity of
their local rulers Neither those griev
ances nor that relating to the. schools
will ever be removed by adopting the
half-measures which the off1ceholding
crowd are suggesting. The only way
which is at all practicable or reasonably
speedy to remove an grievances is to
adopt a new charter.
They tell us that a new charter will
not suffice to remove the law from the
statute books which prevents the levy
ing of more than two and half mills
for school purposes, and that after We
have a new charter we will be no bet
ter off. Indeed? What's the matter with
putting the assessed value of our peoples
property back where it was originally?
Who. will lose by doing so? What tax
payer will be assessed a dollar more
thereby than he would be If the addi-
tional levy were declared constitutional
and proper? Nobody; not one.
There is no need of making a charter
which will run. counter to existing re-
strictive legislation Not a bit of 1t.
When we have our charter, if there is
found any such law. in existence, we
can have it repealed. There will be no
constitutional barrier against our doing
so. Any charter commission that is
worthy of the name, can readily discern
any such obstacles and avoid them, until
we are in position to go to the legis-
lature and have them removed But we
are not called on to anticipate such OBJ
stacles That one which the ofFiceholders
and their organs insist is insuperable
does not exist at all as matter of fact
Let us get the assessed valuation back
where it was originally before the office
holders dishonesty reduced it, and we
will be able to levy all and more than
all the money we want for the mainte-
nance of our schools.
Meanwhile the people cry out for a
new charter; the ofEiceholders and their
organs cry out against it.
