men. In 1888, Charles W. T. Harris, Com
missioner Of Education, made the predic-
1 ton that IL women students at colleges
should continue to increase as rapidly In
proportion to men students as they had
done In the past there would not be many
years before there would be more women
than men in our colleges. This evidently
aroused gentle. but firm opposition to
co-education.
ITO my mind, co-education viii suffer
little from the present furry OF OPPOSE
ton. The system Is found on claims too
broad, sound and progressive. Invite the
college woman to share In the work of
the world according to her inclinations
and her abilities. Then endow her with
the ballot that she may have authority
to force her opinion and to do the work
Of her choice in the most effective way.
The interests Of the women can no longer
be confined to the home. but are founded
upon the outside as well as the inside OF
that home, and the logician will have
difficulty to find sound reason for be-
lieving much longer that the Government
as well as the home. the school and the
church. may not be safely trusted to

THE DIES MONIES REcEDING.
Heroic Work Kept Levees From Civ
ing Way Under the Strain.

Des Moines. Ia. July 10.-At 10 o'clock
the Des Molnes River ceased to rise and
by noon it had receded three inches.
Heroic work on the levess in North Des'
Moines repaired the breaks and saved
many valuable residences.
The Raccoon River, however. continued
to rise At noon it had invaded the fac
tory district and nothing but the roof
of the Keith Furna1e factory and the
Mccormack Manufacturing Company
could be seen. Thousands of dollars worth
of machinery in these places were de-
stroyed
The Keokuk and Western tracks con-
stitute the leyee in this district on tho
side of which the biggest factories OF
Des Moines are located. The river was
within six inches of the top of the leves
at noon and was beginning to break
through. The level of the water was then
six to eight feet above the floors of the
factories, which would suffer loss ex-
ceeding half a million whenever the
levee gave way.

CUBAN HOLIDAY

Il never did find out exactly how many

an American, who had once run a sugar
plantation over there, "but / was green

out at eight or ten. / knew they had
three or four more than In this country
and didn't take the extra ones into ac-
count when signing contracts. l had to
sign contracts with my foremen, en-
gineers. fremen, and so on, to the num-
Der of twenty, and 1t was by the month,
with all legal holidays thrown in. We
had been cutting cane and boiling sugar
three or four days when / went down to
the sugar house one morning to find all
the hands idle
What does It's mean? I asked Of the
native manager, who was strolling about.
It's saints day, and legal holiday,
senior, he answered
But we can't stop business for

The whole gang wasted the whole day

went to work again next day At the end
of three days the calendar brought
around another saint, and business was
shut down again for twenty-four hours
When they had played it on me for the
third time in a fortnight, I went to the
dACd1de Ol lAe village ana SAID:
Look here, now, but how many holi-
days do you have In this country
have never counted them up, senor,'
he replied, but l believe there are about
two hundred
And are my hands obliged to keep
them alp"
Not all, senior. I should say that il
they kept one hundred and fifty of the
saints days the others could go by
And I must lost third of the time
and pay for all of it?"

Surely you would not wish your laborers

quence / made only half a crop and

Several trades unions have taken ac-
ton similar to that taken by the Trades
and Labor assembly in voting to give
the wages of May 20 to- the .und for
Il erection of the Coliseum. the peo-
pies gathering place. Still other organi-
cations have expressed an intention of
doing likewise, and t-ere is no doubt
that within a short time practically all
of them will have fallen in line
This enthusiastic and substantial en-
dorsement of the Coliseum project makes
the success of the undertaking a GER
tainty. The Coliseum in a few months
viii be a thing of beauty in the eyes of
all who behold it, and a source of pride
to everyone who in the least contributes
to its erection.
The action of the trades unions will
no doubt be followed by other working
men and women not members of such
bodies, but who are nevertheless resi-
dents of st. Paul and interested in its
growth and development. From the work.
ing people of the city will thus come q
very large proportion of the money TO
be used for the construction and furnish
ing of the Coliseum, and it will be de-
voted to their uses so long as it shall
stand. The greater the number of men
and women who contribute to the build
ing Of the Coliseum, the more truly the
peoples gathering place it will be-
There is no doubt that a sufficient fund
will be raised by the contributions or
wage-earners on May 20 to justify the
directors in going ahead with the work
OF realizing the dream of st. Paul of
an auditorium that shall be large enough
to accommodate the most important
gatherings. Preliminary steps can be
taken to secure grounds, to get archi-
tects to work on plans, to consider the
sort Of building material to be used, and
to let the first contracts.
Every dollar contributed by the work
ing people of st. Paul will be given back
TO the working people. There will be
employment for several hundred men for
several months when the structure =
gins TO take shape.

Saw Too Many Microbes.

There is a saying that when young
medical students first see microbes ana
nave a chance to study them they never
get microbes out OF their thoughts hut
there is one man who, with the aid OF
a powerful microscope, was shown mi
crobes lately and Is now enjoying a good
nights sleep.
He Is employed a. a janitor IN oEe ~
the smaller hospitals. He had heard
both nurses and doctors discussing the
fearsOme microbe and its development,
and some Of the stories disturbed him.
In fact, they preyed on his mind until
he saw microbes In his dreams
AT last, very much disturbed, he went
to the head doctor and announced BE
must give up his position. The doctor
didn't want to lose the man. an he had
always done his work well 50 he uue--
toned him az 70 his reason for leaving.
The JanLtor didn't want to say at first,
but after some urging said:
Well, you see, doctor | think tits dan
gerous for me To work here any longer.
I've got a family TO look out for, ard
1T wouldn't DO for me to be sick. You See.
this place is oVerrun with microbes. and
now they have got SO thick around my
furnaces that / can hardly DO my work

he went with the man 70 see this strange

the expression of their preference Mt
the polls than do Democrats.
All Of these considerations, together
possibly with an unwillingness on the
part of a certain number of Republicans
to accept any of the party candidates
for mayor, operated to secure so large
Democratic vote and relatively so small
a Republican vote at the primaries.
he Globe sympathizes with the
unwillingness Of the voter to make pub
lie avowal of his party predictions. 1t
regards that requirement of the law to
be in distinct violation of the right of
der conditions assuring him absolute
secrecy. 1t ought to be changed It can
be changed by a simple amendment, and
law be thus preserved which operates
clearly to take the control of nomlna-
tons to office out of the hands Of indi-
viduals or ciques and invests the voting
public with that control.
The amendment which would assure
secrecy and avoid the objections which
were found in the Minneapolis election
to apply to the law In it's original form
is this: Instead of asking the voter what
party he affliates with, the nominees
of the opposing parties should all be
printed in separate party lists on the
one ballot, and the voter advised that
he must confine himself to voting for
the candidates named on one only Of the
lists of nominees. In this way he could
settle in the polling booth with himself
the question whether he desired to act
with one party or the other in the ap-
preaching election.
1t would be a pity If this new system
were not preserved to the people. 1t can
be so preserved by the removal of the OBJ
lection to publicity which z he Globs
recites and in the manner pointed out.
With such a change the new primary
system would, The Globe believes.
be universally adopted throughout the
country.
