ORR DILUTED DEMOCRACY.


1t Is not so long since 1t was regarded
as un-American to speak of Glasses
The democratic spirit which was such q
feature of our social life at every ne
Rod of the national existence up to the
war took decided exception to the as
sumption that social position was subject
to classification This disposition no
longer exists. While there is nothing
prevailing among us approaching the
absurd social divisions which distinguish
European society, it is undeniable that
we are steadily nearing the same stand
ards. Our freedom, thus far, from many
of the artificial distinctions of old-country
life is due entirely to the native spirit
at Independence and individual seif-re-
sl'ec'. Let any ordinary person enter an
ultra fashionable American hotel or res
tauIant ard make a study of the atti-
tude Of the servants. and in many cases
If he has Travelled abroad, he will find
little less Of sycophancy and mean servil-
ity among the representatives Of Ameri-
can help than prevails abroad. This Is
markedly the case in the East, and the
disposition is slowly but steadily stretch
ing its vile lengths across the conu-
nent
The worship of the golden calf Is tie
creed which has begotten all these de-
based forms of social belief. We are
beginning as a people to cringe as low
and crawl as debasedly before the repre-
sentadves of wealth, both in social and
industrial life, as the poor and serviie
among the European masses have done
before power and prestige throughout
the centuries. 1t will be we'll for us if in
the course of time we do not hold our
right OF existence at the hands of our
monetary potentates as completely after
a fashion as the serfs of olden time did
their lives and fortunes at the hands of
their lords
Americans will do wen to keep watch
on the social tendency which all this
indicates. There are of course influences
in operation among us which go TO mega
tive any such tendency. One of these
is the growth in power and influence of
the labor union. The mechanic who
has strong union behind him is much
less likely to bend his neck beneath the
yoke which his boss might desire to fas-
ten upon It. He is less likely to be inn
pressed by the outward show of wealth
than il he held his employment or the
rate of his compensation at the VIII Of
his rich fellow man.
The effect which the concentration OF
industrial effort is having on the face of
American society is to undermine the
sense of Individual freedom and r:~st.

TO INDIAN MOUND rARx

The recent passage of the ordinance d.
recting the city railway to extend a
double track to the immediate vicinity
of Indian Mound park will receive gem
eral approval. The refusal of Assem-
blyman Albrecht to vote in favor of the
ordinance on the ground that he is not
willing to grant the necessary franchise
which seems to be involved must be re-
garded as the product of the gentleman's
unquestionable desire shown with com
mendable regularity, to restrain the dis
position which has been so notable a, fea
ture of the present administration to
take the street railway concern as a ST.
lent partner into the business of local
government. But 1t seems doubtful
whether either that or any other con-
cession to the public welfare can be Sc
cured from the street car corporation at
any time without yielding something in
the nature of quid pro quo which meets
its understanding of how to get the most
possible for the least concession out Of
the city.
The fact that the Indian Mound park

The possibility that public good would
come from the crusade inaugurated by the
yellow press of New York against those
who produced the play recently declared
to be immoral by q police magistrate has
been ruthlessly destroyed by the action
of the jury before which the matter came
after appeal had been taken This ia en-
tirely commendable. 1t is not allowable
to believe that the yellow newspaper or
newspapers responsible for this particular
raid were in collision with those who had
produced the play. But. as the G 10 b e
declared would probably be the case, the
entire moral and judicial farce has ended
In the most effective advertising of the
obnoxious play that could possibly have
been designed.
The production around which has gath
cred so much of sensationaIisn is merely
a piece OF literary and dramatic stupid
ity. 1t had not. even by it's vuigarity,
commended itself to the degraded class
whose members are ever ready to patron
ize dirt in literature. art or the drama
Even Chicago could discover nothing in
the performance to commend it to public
patronage or curiosity. 1t would have
disappeared as completely as all such
fiatulent stuff has ever disappeared had
1t been left unnoticed.
Hardly any one will deny the right Of
the dramatic adventures who have han
died the play with such skill the full ben
eft of their work. A depraved and sensa-
tional press sustained by a false public
| morality, has, been effective in making
the fortunes OF all who have engaged In
the low scheme. The moral is for the
decent public to draw. Figs are not pro-
duced from thistles, nor clean and whole
some standards Of public Judgment deriv-
| ed from any source of recognized debase
ment.
Those who started that crusade should

Is thus made accessible IS the great thing.
The beautiful place is all unknown to
the mass of our people because OF its
inaccessibility in the past 1t was re-
marked some years ago by certain East
ern editors visiting the spot that If
such place We're available In any East
ern city there would be no limit to the
moneys which would be willingly spent
to make it available as place of popu-
lar resort
Indian Mound Is, one place of the kind
among the many beauty spots to be
found in this city and it's environments.
All such places should be made accessi-
BILE to the people. There is no reason
why. for instance. we should not have
street car accommodation from this city
to Minnehaha park. as have the people
of Minneapolis. The popularity Of Como
park as public resort tells much. 1t Is
only by the most persistent expression
of the public demand that the park, has
been beautified and made so easy of ac-
cess TO the masses. Had we shown any
thing like the same indifference regarding
1t which we have regarding the Indian
mounds Como lake would today be little
better than a morass.
Every movement which tends to bring
the people into contact with the beauties
of st. Paul and it's surroundings is an adj
vance In the direction of the public good
and of the welfare of the city for which
the people can well afford to make pres
ent concessions both in money and priv
ilege.
