The Minneapolis journal., 1901-02-27

In the solution Of those problems which
rise from the movement Of American women
toward economic independence the leisure
woman Of America must bear a yeoman s
part. She it is who must study the ever
shifting industrial situation and, by intelli-
gent direction through press and people,
strive to regulate conditions, adapt public
sentiment and remove the prejudices of the
worker, thus preventing congestion in in
dustry business or profession by enabling
women who need work to pass easily from
overcrowded fields of labor to others where
their efforts are in demand.
The leisure woman of America must do
these things and she must do them because
she is leisure woman. Our social structure
is to-day so complex, our processes are so
involved, that the closest study of cause and
effect is necessary to the initiation of any
effort for social control The wisdom of the
serpent and the patience Of Job must wait
upon the formation and development Of plans
for social betterment and progress.
Now, all these things take time and plenty
of it, and leisure women are the only people
in America to-day who have any time at
their disposal. Men have none, and the
higher up in the scale the man is the less
time he has The 100000 women who earn
their livelihood in America have no time;
they are busy as the men. 1t is clear that
all the time there is lies in the possession of
the women who are supported by the labor
OF men, or are in possession of sufficient

vocates and supporters among our 'citi-
zens. Foremost among these has been
Colonel G.. e. Faulkner of this city, whose
wide experience in the management Of
charitable institutions gives special value
TO his opinions. His able advocacy of
boards of control plan has influenced many
persons to favor it, and now that the
sion is so unqualihedly on the same side,
Th e Journal must confess that a
strong case has been presented in their
favor. If good grounds can be shown for
discrediting the evidence adduced by the
commission, let US have them at once. If
none such are forthcoming, then let the
legislature follow the recommendation or
the outgoing and the incoming governors.
One serious difficulty in our present sys-
tenn of separate boards of managers has
advantage. The unnecessarily high prices
often paid by some of the institutions
have caused much criticism, and have
sometimes been made the occasion of re-
proach to a board of managers. One of
the principal arguments in favor OF a
single board Of control is the ability of
such board to become a wholesale buyer
of all needed supplies, so as to take con-
slant advantage of the lowest market
prices. This pecuniary gain will be per-
manent, and will outweigh great many
of the objections to abolishing the sep
arate boards.

REIGN OF THE LAWLESS

yesterday the record OF laWleSSneSS was
ampliied by the lynching and burning of
negro in Indiana, charged with the muir
der of a young woman.
1t is held by some judicial authorities,
Justice Brewer among them, that these
continual exhibitions of mob law will
stimulate the restoration of proper judi
eial processes and bring about fine reign
of law. This position does not seem to be
tenable. The record of the past decade
shows no such tendency. During that pc
riod 200 people each year, on an average,
have been put to death by mobs in the
United States, and sixteen of them have
been burned to death with the most saw
age Accomplishments. The burning of the
negro in Leavenworth, Kan, in January,
was among the most atrocious instances
of such barbarity. 1t is no wonder that
Mrs. Nation and her feminine colleagues
have caught the prevalent spirit of law
lessness and are taking into their own
hands the execution of the unenforced pro-
hibition law. 1t is held by the admirers
of Mrs. Nation that she is acting with the
greatest propriety, and that if the au-
thorities will not enforce the law it is the
business of any private individual to en-
force 1t, just as Mrs. Nation is doing.
This argument is exactly the one used by
all the lynchers and regulators and
white Caps in the country. In prac-
tice, it means general defiance of the law,
the ignoring of judicial processes. The
lynchers do not wait deferentially upon
the law. They do not want the law to
have its course. They want to be the law
and executioners themselves. 1t would
be most distasteful to them to have man
whom they have placed under their ban,
and who is charged by them with a crime
brought properly before a judicial tribu-
nal and regularly and fairly tried.
No individual or individuals have any
right to constitute themselves Judge and
jury and executioners where there are
courts and judicial processes ready to do
business. 1t is possible that in rare cases
crime becomes so fragrant that it over
whelms and is beyond the reach of the
machinery of justice, as was the case in
San Francisco when the vigilance com
mittee was organized. Such occasions
have not appeared to justify the lynchings
OF the past ten or twenty years. There is
not single instance where trial before
q competent court might not have been
secured. if the people had been law-abid-
ing. 1t is to the shame and disgrace OF
the country that such record of lynch
ing appears. 1t should quicken the law
abiding to stand by the laws and their
faithful execution. 1t should sting the
public conscience into extreme sensitive
ness on the subject of the recognition OF
public law.

The
HumoriSfS'
Union.

r The leading humorists Of
New York are talking of
HumOriSfS' forming humorists union,
yy,;oa so that they can have
strikes whenever the editors
publish non-union jokes. The union will have
a committee which is designed to settle for
ever the question of just what is funny and
what isn't. There will be no cheap repartee.
Anybody who thinks Of what he regards as
funny reply will submit 1t to the committee,
and if it is approved it will be put on the
eepted list. This list will be printed and sent
to every member every week Then each
member can learn as many of the jokes as
he is able and use them whenever he gets
a chance, but no joke must be used from a
list more than a month old.
Take for example, the last joke made by
the queen during her late illness, that she
feared so long as President Kruger wore rub
bers that they would keep De Wet from De
Feat. At the time it was made it would
doubtless have passed the committee, and it
would by this time have served out it's month
and have been retired with honorable mention
for hard service. Under the present regime
the man who asks, rs this cold enough for
yOu?" now follows it up with the De-Wet
Defeat joke which has already been retired
for ten days in all respectable joke foun-
dries. If the victim could hand him out the
union card with the statement on it, ''De
Wet, etc., joke called in Feb. 10, it would go
far towards throwing down an unmitigated
nuisance, or at least it would prevent him
from springing his antiquity outside of the
bosom of his Immediate family, where almost
anything goes for the sake of keeping the
peace.
By all means let us have the humorists
union with branches all over; for, as George
Eliot pointed out a difference in taste in
jokes is great strain on the affections.

THE BOARD OF CONTROL REPORT

The report of Governor Van SAINTS COM
missioners on the subject of the practi-
cal operations of the board of control in
Iowa and Wisconsin, not only renews pub
lie interest in the bill now before our
legislature, but puts the matter in an
entirely new light. The commissioners
have found that in the two states above
named the new sytsem is in successful
use, and is so warmly approved that it
has come to stay. In Illinois, strong
movement is on foot to adopt the same
system, whose most ardent supporter is
the present state board of charities and
corrections. With such hearty advocacy
bear upon our commissioners in these
three neighboring states, it is not strange
that they came home with an earnest
recommendation of the new legislation.
This is based on what they found in ac-
tual existence in Iowa and Wisconsin
namely, that the cost of maintaining the
state institutions is decreased, while the
field of their operations is enlarged and
their efficacy is enhanced, while politics
and local controversies have been elm
mated from the administration of these
institutions. The commissioners. there
fore, frankly advocate the adoption by
Minnesota of the system of our neighbors
applying it to all excepting our educa
tional institutions.
A report so full. with recommendations
so strongly made o0d hora5 -
quate personal investigation, will have
great weight with the legislators and the
people of the state. There has been hesi-
tation to adopt the new plan, because of
general ignorance of its actual work
ing details. 1t already has earnest ad-
