WHERE REFORM BEGINS.

The local government, city, village
or township as the case may be, is the
primary school of citizenship, and on
the character of that government will
depend in q great measure the kind of
citizenship evolved. If q community
is aroused to the necessity of select
ing for officers the best men, men OF
good moral character and good bust.
ness judgment, the citizen will get in
to the habit of applying the same
standard in selecting officials for the
state and nation. 1t will develop in
him more political independence, and
party leaders will always be careful
of their choice OF candidates if they
find out that the citizens look for that
kind Of men.
On the other hand, if it becomes a
habit to let the leaders select any kind
of q man, brand him with q party ap.
pellation and then get the people tc
elect him simply because he has that
party stamp, we can always be sure
of rottenness in local politics, and II
will extend outwards. The citizens
should therefore be very careful to SCI
that this primary school teaches thu
right kind of citizenship.
The idea of municipal ownership O.
public utilities, such as light ani
water plants, street car systems, etc.
is gaining ground everywhere: IT.
final success everywhere would be as
sured in the near future if peopl'
could be sure that the officials woult
run them in the most economical way
The main argument of the opponents
of this system is the rottenness o
city politics. This argument will los
it's force as soon as the people de
termine that such conditions shall dis
appear. They have in their owl
hands the means of doing it, if the,
will but act q little more Independent
ly.
A man in official life should be OK
pected to run the affairs entrusted t,
him with the same care and judgmen
he would use If it was his own privat
property he was handling. 1t viii
pay municipality in the long run t.

men can be obtained to manage its al
fairs, rather than to pay little o
nothing in wages and get grafters t.

LABOR TEMPLE
MAY BE ERECTED
Plans Are Being IA lie to
Put Up a Fine
Building.

st. Paul organized labor may be
housed in it's own temple the coming
spring. Parties are now preparing to
negotiate with the Trades and Labor
assembly and the head of the several
unions and a meeting place worthy Of
the strongest union city in the North
west may result.
Organized labor is accommodated in
the three story brick building at Wa
basha and Third streets, of which two
floors are used, but it is entirely in
adequate to the demands Upon. 1t and
especially so during the consideration
of any measure of Importance or a
strike.
Those behind the movement and who
are willing to furnish the sinews do so
from a speculative standpoint, as they
realize the revenue that would come
from the presence of such a large body
of men as represented in the eighty
odd individual unions that call St.
Paul their home.
The proposed location Is on Fourth
street, in the neighborhood of Market.
1t consists Of two lots and the scheme
is to erect upon it a building of brick
and stone to cost about $4,000. If rea-
liked it will contain an assembly hall
semblages that the present hall will
not permit. The same parties have an
other location at Eighth street, near
Jackson, which may be substituted lie
their offer is accepted.
