MISS BARToN's AUToCRATIC RULE

Miss Clara Barton is no doubt a
good woman, and a well-meaning one,
but she is not admired by many peo-
pie who are interested in the success
of the National Red Cross Society
She wants to run the society in ac-
cordance with her own ideas, and
there seems to be some doubt as to
whether she has the ability to run it
as it ought to be run.
She is a shrewd woman. BY means
of a large number of proxies she had
the bylaws of the society so changed
that the president of it could be elect
ed for life. BY these same bylaws
the power was given to the president
TO choose the executive COMMITTEES.
The president, therefore, is complete
master of the society. Miss Barton
had herself made president, and then
she selected an executive committee
that held views IN respect to the So
ciety's work in harmony with her
own. She had the President of the
United States and his cabinet appoint
ed a consulting committee. Such a
committee would no doubt encourage
contributions, when the necessity for
them arose.
OF course the President took an
early opportunity to say to Miss Bar
ton that he and his cabinet could not
serve on the committee in question,
and it is expected that Congress will
pretty thoroughly overhaul Miss Bar
tons plans and purposes in regard
TO the society.
There is no lack of confidence in
Miss Barton's goodness, but there does
seem to be very pronounced lack of
confidence in her ability to manage
the affairs OF the society satisfactorily.
1t will be recalled by the people of
this section that there was a great
deal of complaint with the way the
contributions were distributed when
the negroes of the sea islands were the
objects of the nations charity-and
the complaints, from all accounts,
were we'll founded.
That Miss Barton has placed herself
at the head of the society without be-
ing strongly urged to do SO would
seem to indicate that she is ambitious
and likes power. There should be no
hesitation, however. in requiring her
to resign the position she occupies if
it is a fact that she is lacking in the
necessary qualifications TO fill it.

put itself on record as being against
the negro as a voter by passing a res
olution to amend the election laws so
as to exclude all negroes from the
ballot box. 1t may possibly be your
right to throw the negro overheard. in
n political sense, if you want to. But
Georgia still let's him vote, and has
no idea at present of taking the ball
lot away from him. And Georgia has
never howled about the rights of the
negro as an American citizen and the
political equal of the white man, as
you have, Kansas. What's the matter
with you, anyway? You helped to give
the negro the ballot. And now you
want to take it away from him?

with what concert the committeeman,

counts. By getting together and pull

BROKEN MAIN WILL
BE REPAIRED AT ONCE
Water Board Considers Its Destruction
an Ordinary Accident.

Breaks like the one which rendered
the big main under the Wabasha
street bridge'useless are so trifiing that
the board of water commissioners does
not deem them worthy of consideration.
The board held a meeting yesterday
afternoon. but not word of inquiry
was made about the big main, the de-
struction of which City Engineer
Rundlett has said was due to careless
drainage.
"Oh, the whole thing has been ex-
aggerated," said Vice President DWyer
at the close Of the meeting when ask
ed why nothing had been done 1T is
just the same as any other break that
would occur in the street. The SUI
perintendent has jurisdiction In the
matter and he will see that it is re-
paired. It's a small affair"
City Engineer Rundlett was in at
tendance at the meeting, but he was
not called to make any explanation.

Treatment to Require Five Months.
Rev. J. A. Holmes advanced the idea
that while the state was caring for its
insane, deaf and dumb and blind, it
was also its duty to care for the PEG.
pie afflicted with tuberculosis. The
time for treatment of patients at the
proposed sanitarium would be about
i've months, while the insane had to be
cared fer as long as they lived
DR.. j. II. Stuart, of Minneapolis, said
that when 1t was mentioned that SO
per cent of the patients in German
sanitariums had been cured, it meant
that his per centage was of cases in
the incipient stages.

TILLMAN SHAKES THE
HANDS OF NEGROES
Writes Congressman Lind He Has No
Objection to Doing So.

United States Senator Benjamin r.
Tillman succeeded in stirring up d ter
rife hornets nest in Minneapolis.
Since the senator from South Carolina
spoke at Plymouth church the other
night, there have been no less than
half dozen negro meetings in Mime
apolis, and scores of deliberately pre-
pared resolutions roasting the South
ern idea of black men to an artistic
finish have been forwarded TO Senator
Tillman.
The senator himself disavows any
Discrimination to shake hands with a
black man. He has written eXGOv.
John Lind to that effect, and on the
night that he left Minneapolis he said:
Il regret exceedingly my inability to
meet the colored men to whom L had
expected to receive introductionS.
have engagements that cannot be over
looked, and it is impossible for me to
overlook them in view of later obliga-
tons. l shall be glad, at any future
time, to meet the men who were to
have met me here tonight. 1t should
be easy for anyone to comprehend that
when [ have but fifteen minutes to
make my train / am eXcusable for
breaking hastily made engagement"
But this declaration has not placated
the colored people of Minneapolis.
There was a meeting at the Bethesda
bdptlSl CHuTcn TO discuss the negro
problem. w. r. Morris, the Minneap-
oils lawyer, a colored man, was one of
the speakers Harvey Burke was an
other. These speakers insisted that
Tillman's remarks were unjust and
untenable. They declared that if there
should ever be race war in this coun-
try Of the sort that Senator Tillman
feared, it would not be of the black
mans seeking, and it was added that
the black man could not be held an
swerable for the consequences.
w. r. Morris said: TT would be one
of the worst wars in the history of the
world. God send that it may be a long
way off. I never want to witness such
a war as this would be. And l want to
point out that it never could be strict
ly race war, for the simple reason
that there are many thousands of
white men who would join us in any
measures we might take to repel an
attack of the sort suggested. There are
men of the best development in mod
ern thought and action. who would
stand by us through thick and thin. l
must make another statement, and
that is, if this war is forced upon US,
it will be war to the bitter end.
There can be no compromise so far as
/ am able to discover"

third of his estate shall go to his wife,
who survives him, the remaining two
thirds being left to the orphan asylum.
A provision Of the will contains the
following statement:
Il have known through all its years
and history something of the good
work done by the Protestant Orphan
asylum of st. Paul. which have aided,
in a small way, in years past. Aside
from the property left to my wife
bequeath the balance of my estate to
this institution"
Although the will estimates the value
of the estate to be in excess of $4,000,
it is said to be in reality more than
100000. Jeanette l.. Bailey, presi-
dent of the orphan asylum to which
Mr.. Summers left the bulk of his es-
tate, is named as eXecutriX.

AGREE ON DRAFT OF
THREE-CENf CAR
FARE BILL
Assemblyman Arnold Sc
cures Assent Of Members
of Investigating Commit
tee After Little Opposition,
and Proposed Measure Will
Be introduced in Legisla-
ture Today.

Assemblyman Frank Arnold's ante
election promise Of a Scent street car
fare received it's first formal recOgni-
ton yesterday when he secured from
the council committee, named to look
into the matter, full Endorsement of a
bill designed to bring about the
change
The bill, which authorizes and en-
powers common councils Of any city in
the state to fix and prescribe maxi
mum rates 10 be charged by any pub
lie service corporation acting under a
franchise or a charter, will be intro
duced in the legislature today. The
bill was drawn by Corporation Attor-
ney Michael, and is designed to enable
the city to take the action desired.
The committee which, in addition to
Mr. Arnold consists of Assemblymen
Wheeler and Doran, did not seem to
take kindly to the proposition, espe-
cially Mr.. Doran, who fatty ANNOUNCE
ed that he was 'agin" 1t, as he consid-

derives this unheard-of revenue" an
swered Mr.. Arnold. 1T is certainly not
working any hardship on the COM
pany."
Corporation Attorney Michael sug-
gested that there was one kind of au-
thority that the council did have and
that was the power to compel more
lines and better service, and that it
iJhf no in Of Ia
to use little of it, but it brought a
laugh and a sarcastic remark from AS
Semblyman Wheeler.
Yes" he answered, "the assembly
tried to invoke a little of that power,
but the board of aldermen has another
way of looking at it. l refer, gentle
men, to the Randolph street car line
nue. line. Such things are nuts for
Them
Doran Finally ReIents.
After considerable discussion, AS
semblyman Doran finally relented in
his opposition to the Scent fare
scheme and remarking that he guess
ed such authority, if it could be Sc
cured would not hurt anyone" gave
his consent to the draft of the bill
which Assemblyman Arnold presented.
Assemblyman Wheeler likewise acqui-
he would try to have the bill introduce
ed in the house today
The bill, if it ever becomes a law,
will empower cities to fix the maxi
mum rates to be charged not only by
street car companies, but by any pub
lie service corporation acting under a
franchise.
Even with such a law a judicial
opinion would be necessary, and the
city's part in the reform would be to
contend that no council has the right
to bind city for fifty years by estab-
fishing the maximum fare to be charg-
ed by railway company at cents.
The franchise held by the st. Paul
City Railway company covers a period
of fifty years.
