POLICE sELF-PRoTEc7roM


The people of st. Paul have the am
pIest reason to be satisfied with the ex-
listing police administration. No civ
IN the country is probably as we'll DO
Iced, considering the proportion which
the number of patrolmen bear to the
entire population or when the terrific
rial area to be covered is considered.
The result is due not only to the
superior discipline maintained and the
ability shown in the administration of
the department, but to the superior
personnel of the reorganized force. No
more devoted or intelligent body of
men can be found doing police duty in
any city of the country.
The movement recentlv oreanizad
among the members of the st. Paul
police force for the establish
ment OF mutual protection
association merits the highest
public encouragement. The nolica
officer, whose life is ever at the service
OF the community, and the risk of
whose calling is always great and new
er absent, has no provision made for
his closing days by the community
which he usually serves so we'll. Here
in st. Paul, the scheme of a police nen-
sion fund was tried many years ago.
but never really operated to the sub
stantial gain of those whose services
might be expected to be brought to a
close from advancing years. In New
york. too, they established a nolica
pension fund many years ago, which
was soon depleted through the OPERA
ton of decision of the courts. Tn
neither case did the community under-
take to guarantee the men ANYTHING
Whatever in the way of protection
against the great risks of their calling
or TO save them from want when their
days of public usefulness were brought
to close.
Inc new protective association NAV
end as the other such organizations
have. The men must, however. in the
present condition of public enlighten-
ment and liberality, continue to depend
on themselves for any security that
may be offered to them in the way of
pension or Of protection for themselves
and their families in cases of accident
and permanent disability. Some dav
american society will have better un-
Outstanding of its moral obligations to-
ward its citizens whose lives are de-
voted TO It's service, particularly to
those of them whose duties are esne-
clally directed toward the protection of
the persons and property of its members.
Until then police and fremen must
depend on the organization of Just such
movements as that which has been in
augurated among the st. Paul police.
The people of the city are Interested

MORE NEW CITIZENS.

The wisdom of the law passed few
years ago requiring voters in this state
to be naturalized citizens has been at
tested repeatedly since it's enactment.
Whereas any man otherwise qualified
who had declared his intention to be-
come citizen was in the past author
lied to cast a vote, the present condi-
ton involves citizenship as a pre-
requisite in that regard.
In the past the polling lists were
crowded with the names of those who,
while they had lived in the United
States periods in many cases far ex-
ceeding five years, had never gone fur
Their than the declaration of their in
tention to become citizens. This in
volved an injustice to qualified citi-
zens, but it was the product largely of
the desire to promote immigration and
settlement in the state. Within the
past two weeks there have been two
hundred foreign born residents of
Ramsey county invested with Ameri-
can citizenship. We must recognize
the truth that the applications for citi-
zenship in most, if not ALL of those
cases was Influenced by the desire
to vote at the coming election. Had
the old conditions continued these men,
or most of them at least, would have
been content to rest upon their first
papers. Under the new plan they be-
come fully qualified citizens of the
United States.
Much calculation was INDUCED in
when the law was passed as to its eff
feet upon party politics. That effect,
however, has never been materially felt
one way or the other, and that which
was calculated on chiefly as likely to
be the gain of one or other of the great
parties has proven to be a gain rather
to the public life of the state.
1t is gratifying to reflect that the
agencies of the public service of the
state have been so literally placed at
the disposal of these men in their Iaud-
able undertaking of becoming citizens
of the state and of the United States.

RERNlER's UNIQUE TRIP.

A thrill of admiration runs thro,er
the ofaln OF every North American
VINO reads of the brilliant plan which
capt. Bernier, the Canadian explorer
has for making a rush to the north
pole. 1t looks feasible, too, and per-
haps before the beginning of the new
year this daring young man viii be
able to announce to the world whether
or not the pole is an open sea, a hole
IN the ground or a berg of ice.
At any rate, Capt. Bernier's scheme
is a "heady" performance and one of
such a degree of up-to- dateness as to
contemplate full use of the Marconi
wireless telegraph system. The expe
d1tlon will be valuable as an exhaus-
tive test Of this system even If no dis
coVery Of the pole is made. A tele-
graph instrument will be installed at
Dawson, N. w. T., and news Of the
movement of Bernier and his band will
De sent back there at frequent inter
Vais, the world thus being kent in
ciose touch with the doings of the
men north of the Arctic circle.
Bernier will attempt his feat through
the Bering sea, by way of which he
expects to move to within $50 miles Of
the pole and thence over the ice fields
toward the point which Franklin and
Greedy and Peary and the rest have
failed to reach.

There Were Three Stories.

Du1Ing Clevelands first term as pres
ident he haC built for himself handsome
toathouse on the shore of upper Saranac
lake near Sarenac inn. 1t was a long,
low affair. with deep excavation be-
meath for the storing of boats and fishing
tackle. Dave Cronk,' famous guide of
the region never tired of describing the
giolies of the presidents boathouse, which
he regarded as the real wonder of the
neiShborhood. On one occasion Richard
Harding Davis, then a reporter in Phila-
delrhia, visited the president socially and
was met at the station by a native, who
said he had been sent with his wagon to
drive the guest to the inn.
There's Mr.. Clevelands new three

CUBA AND THE WEST INDIES.

Within a few days the cable dis
patches reported the British colonial
secretary as declaring that government
relief should be extended to the West
India islands to protect their sugar
production. The problem, he said, was
how to secure the cultivation and pres
ervation of the sugar estates until the
Brussels convention went into effect
and the payment of bounties ceased.
He added that if the laborers were
thrown on their own resources the sup
port of the colonies would fall on the
home government. The immediate out
come of the discussion will probably
be the allowance of a government
bounty of over $1oOO,o 600, perhaps ST.
100000.
The significance of this situation
ought not to be lost on this people in
connection with the present situation
of Cuba. = The Cubans ask that we
grant them such trade concessions as
will enable them to find market for
their sugar here, from which they are
debarred through the operation of our
high tariff. They ask for a so per cent
reduction in sugar duties, and we re-
fuse to grant them even the minimum
provided under the reciprocity provis
ions of the Dingley law.
The sugar producing islands Of the
British West Indies find a free market
for their product in England. Yet in
the situation which prevails in the
sugar trade they find it necessary to
appeal to the mother country for finan-
eial relief to enable them to tide over
the period when they may be able to
enter into fair competition with the
sugar produced in the European coun-
tries which pay bounties on the manu-
facture.
This is really not question of poll
tics at all. 1t has been made such
through the insistence of the beet sug-
ar combination. The fear that Mr. OK
nard and his industry might suffer by
even the partial withdrawal of the gov
eminent favor which they receive I'M
der the so-called protective system has
led them to force the fighting to the
extent of compelling the country to oc-
cupy dishonorable attitude before the
world with reference to it's obligations
toward Cuba.
How speedily England comes to the
aid of her own sugar-producing colo
MES in a situation threatening far less
serious results to her subjects than
those which have already been realized
by the young republic through our fail
ure to render to her people the aid
which they have pleaded for, and which
was designed to be paid for by in
creased and preferential commercial
rights conceded to US in her internal
trade.
Every American, no matter what his
politics, is interested in seeing that the
Cuban demand shall be granted at the
very outset of the approaching session
OF congressman the beggarly 20 per
cent reduction which the administra-
ton factions have been quarrelling
over, but the full so per cent reduction

SUBSTITUTE FOR HAND SHAKING

Just as The G ob e was urging a
week ago that the silly pump handling
process known as hand shaking be
abolished, the people of France were
starting a crusade against the same
thing. This shows that the Gau1s are
quick to observe and correct their
faults.
Max O'Rell writes that it is no long
er good form for a Partisan to shake
lady's hand.= Instead, he is practic-
ing himself in accomplished ritual of
kisses, suited to all degrees of friend
ship and acquaintance. This is done
to such a nicely that the spot that is
kissed marks the point of favor a
man has reached. If the woman is a.
mere acquaintance he is confined to
the tips of the first and second fingers.
AS the friendship ripens the kiss grad
ually steals past the knuckles and
along the back of the hand. Complete
felicity is only reached, says O'ReIl,
When the man may firmly grasp the
lady's hand and busy himself with the
wrist.
e G o b is not prepared to in
dorse the French method, though it is
worth thinking about It would have
its drawbacks in certain sections of
the country. For instance, if Chicago
young man should pursue it he would
be in danger of getting half a mouth
full of SCOT if his kiss had reached one
OF the more ELUSIVE stages. Then the
Beaumont, Tex, man would be likely to
get something decidedly more oleagf-
nous than oil stock, and the Scranton,
Pa, man in doing the courteous would
be hardly able to avoid getting occa-
siona1 deliveries of anthracite in the
mouth instead of in the cellar.
The method, therefore, although gen.
teel and delicate, would not do in all
sections of America, though there
would be no objection to giving it a
trial in st, Paul, both because it is
one of the cleanest cities in America
and has more women with pretty hands
than most any other municipality on
the continent.

original as to be worthy of special
mention. Long metallic tubes, sharp
ened at one end and open and hollow
at the other, will be taken along. Into
these will be placed concentrated foods
of wide variety. The food pots will
be placed in the ice and will bear flags.
Through these simple safeguards the
course pursued from the ship will be
followed easily, and the return trip will
be made by moving from one Of these
caches to the next.
Capt. Bernier's journey to the ever
lastingly CONCEALED north will there
fore have two unique features and will
be watched by the scientific world with
interest greater than that which has
attached to any of it's predecessors.
Bon voyage, Bernier!

BEAUTY AND THE TOAD.

Beauty went forth for a stroll one day.
Far out on a dusty road
90, light are the wings of a soul, they say,
In quest Of its loves abode.)
The sun of the morn shone high o'erhead
And bright on the hill and stream
tBut all of the world is a lie, it's said,
When viewed in our early DREAMY
Not care was hers-not pain, it's told,
Not even a faint regret
(But-she lived in the age Of the reign
And thus were her sorrows met!)
She saw on her journey bird they saw.
Which sang of the jewels glow
(Now this is the story heard one day
Far back in the long ago:)
And Beauty was charmed to smile, it's
When the bird and its song were done
(And many, all many, a mile she sped,
Meath many moon and sunD
She burned with a vague desire. it's told,
And prayed to her God above
(But she yearned with lustful fire for
And laughed at the wounds of loveD
A heart she saw in the dust. which lay
Deep cut by the mystic dart
(But she sang the song Of lust. they say,
And chided the bleeding hearth
And Cupid at last drew near, it's said.
When ali his arrows fell
(Yet Beauty but laughed at his fears, and
In fear of his magic spelL)
Then Adonis came with prayer. it's told,
And knelt at the Beautys feet
Recede; he cried, from the snare Of
My love is wealth complete"
NAY. nay" she sobbed, and her heart,
Throbbed wild with secret pain
Love--life-they We're torn apart that day
In the hopes of a golden gain
The next at her shrine to kneel. it's said.
Was the poet of ancient fame
AlaStOr-whoSe vain ideal had led
His soul through quenchless flame.
40 love-" he said. II have sought for you
Der many a gulf and stream
Waking, my love, / have thoughts of YOU
Sleeping could but dream!
"All that the heart can give, my love,
These. while the soul shall Hive, my love,
These shall proffer your
But Beauty rejected his love. they say,
And scoffed at the poets sigh
For the bird-it was singing above that
day.
And the mate of her choice was nigh.
o. deep was the dust in the road. and red
With the blood of a broken heart.
When the mate she had chosen, the Toad,
it's said,
Came forth from the marriage mart.
My love, my love, can give to you
The wealth and the title sought;
Ny love, my love, will live for you,
Nor weep, if you love me not.
"A jewel have I, though toad. my love,
a wealth to appease your lust:
"A title have to the road. my love
am lord of the slime and dustl''
The thing-it was hideous and brown, they
say,
And never by hand caressed,
But the sun went down with frown that
day.
And the toad on woman's breast.
