THE FLOWER SHOW.

Undoubtedly there is a chilly sug-
gestion about Minnesota's other name,
the North Star State" 1t conjures up
a vision of ice palaces, Of toboggan
slides, of skates and of snowshoes. A
foreigner, especially Southern for
eigner, is apt to shiver involuntar1fy
when he pronounces it. But all who
dwell within it's confines know that the
North Star state is not half so chilly
as it sounds. Unfortunately, all who
dwell beyond it's confines do not know
and this city, at least, would fain con-
vince them of the fact.
It has already undertaken a cam
paign of education. The first gun was
fired last year in the form of a flower
show. This year, this week, indeed,
that flower show will be repeated, and
he who runs may read that the snow
ball is not the only blossom that thrives
in Minnesota. The women who have
charge Of the arrangements for this
flower show have for many years been
prominent in every effort that has been
made to advance the city's interests,
commercially. Organized as an auxil-
iary, they have aided the Northwestern
Manufacturers association in the lat
ter's endeavor to make this state
for IIr~ir, al
In this latest project of a flower show
they are merely following along those
lines laid down when the auxiliary was
first organized
Not so very many years ago in this
city the month Of November witnessed
preparations for the building of an ice
palace. This month will witness a
floral parade. The phrase suggests
Southern festas, blossoms and sunlight,
and soft, balmy air. That it should
ever be connected with the North Star
state nobody ten years ago would, per-
haps, have believed. But times have
changed and the weather with them.
In Minnesota a flower show is no longer
an absurdity, a floral parade no longer
represents the impossible. The truth
of the matter is that Minnesota now
furnishes what represents almost ideal
weather. The summers are COOL the
winters not long, the springs bearable
and the falls perfect The flower show
comes as a great, fragrant period to
very pleasant year.
And 1t deserves patronage, the very
best of patronage. No one class can
make a success of any new project in
st. Paul. To obtain this success it Is
necessary that all shall cooperate.
The flower show, or it's object rather,
touches all classes, for with the pro-
ceeds there Is to be founded in this
city a school of domestic science This
city is rather behind other cities in
the facilities she has to offer for indus
trial education, so that anything which
increases these facilities deserves recog-
milton and support. But this is only
one Of many reasons why the flower
show which opens Tuesday in Mozart
hall deserves liberal patronage.

school as an end in itself, and the edu-
cation to be obtained there as a COM
plete whole, beyond which the student
may or may not go, but beyond which
he should proceed on independent lines,
is a correct one. The view Of the nor
NAL school which regards it as an in
strument designed for particular pur-
pose essentially training school for a
definite occupation, as much so as a
school of engineering or Of mines, is
the true one. All debate which prom
ises to bring out these central facts
should be welcomed.
Let us get as far as possible away
from the distorting theory that each of
the admirable educational institutions
which the state maintains has it's place
in a fixed order of progression, which
the student must follow from one to
the other. Let us consider rather the
fitness and completeness Of each Of
them in itself and with reference to its
own work. To multitude of children
the grade school is the beginning and
end Of their education; the only place
of instruction where they will ever be
enrolled. Only small percentage of
those who enter any high school ever
graduate, only small percentage of
d,-a fao hn rIDiunraftU
Our system ought to be adapted to
the needs of the. many rather than to
those OF the few.
Every step in the educational process
will be bettered by making it independ-
ent. The young man or woman who
enters the university will be more
self-reliant, more capable. more fitted
for real mental cultivation by receiving
first an all-areund education, whole
In itself considered, than by having
been prepared with special reference to
an entrance examination, as IL that
were the whole end and aim of study.
Those who attend our normal schools
Will fare far better and come forth bet
ter equipped for their noble work If
they go there knowing what they do
know well, and prepared by system
that is it's own excuse for being and
that aims to make it's pupils well in
structed as far as it goes than they
will if there is any special preliminary
and preparatory instruction for them.
The mind is an organism, not ma
chine. Its treatment should not be
mechanical, but adapted to all the
changefulness Of living growth. That
is the first and last and most needed
word with reference to the educational
work Of the day.

And it is notyprobable that the diva

desires to believe that the world has
not forgotten. To all evidences that 1t
has forgotten or, at least, that it no
longer cares, she will, womanlike, close
her eyes.
Yet the individual who is wise
enough to take his leave Of his audience
while yet that leave taking calls forth
regrets spares himself some painful
emotions. The hands that stretch out
to seize the skirts of a needless and
hurried world only succeed in obtain
ing the concession of glance half
curious, half pitying. Such glance
cannot fail to burn the soul Of him
or her who was once able to command
the worlds breathless attention. The
pity Of 1t is that so many singers. SO
many actors, consent to endure such
humiliation.

AN ELABORATE CELEBRATION.

Nothing, we think, would have fully
satisfied our people except the adop-
ton OF the most comprehensive plan
offered for a semi centennial celebra-
ton. The event will be the greatest
thus far in the citys history, and our
people are sufficiently proud and pub
lic-splrited to- insist that it be COM
menorated fittingIya A mere parade,
a dinner and a few speeches, all to be
forgotten on the morrow, would have
seemed wholly inadequate.
The plan adopted viii occupy three
days. There will be elaborate parades,
the new capitol will be dedicated, and
this will be made an event memora-
BILE throughout the Northwest and of
note even to the whole country. Prob
ably when We get well on with our
plans it will be found that the neces-
sary expense will be much greater than
the estimate, but our people will be
glad to contribute to an event that will
make this city for weeks the center of
attraction and of interest for a great
part Of the country. -
We hope that the occasion will not
be allowed to pass entirely without
some plan for permanent memorial.
Whatever we may choose to spend on
fuss and feathers, on features that at
tract the eye and rouse enthusiasm,
and serve the ends Of local pride, we
ought to embody this event solidly In
some shape that will hand down its
story to future generations. This has
now become a fixed part Of nearly all
such anniversaries. : Another worlds
fair will never again be held in any
city in this country without providing
that at least one Of it's great build
materials and stand as a monument
of the event for the future.
There are many things that st. Paul
| needs. First and foremost among
them, perhaps, is an auditorium build
ing. The plan for a great general hos
pital for the Northwest has been wide
ly and favorably discussed. We have
no public library building. We have no
buifding*where students of art can
meet Or study We need all these
things badly. The spirit of the coming
occasion should, it seems to us, be
appealed to to provide us with some
one Of them. I'VE should not be salts
fled with the mere froth of the event
Let us have the parades and the re-
joicings and the show things generally,
but let us also erect in the shape Of
one Of the buildings that have been
suggested memorial for all time, that
shall not only commemorate a red let
ter day in our history, but serve to in.
terest, to educate and to uplift the peo-
pie.

Among the Merrymakers
An Internal Difficulty.

Little Archie Richards, at the close of
the Thanksgiving dinner, sat at the table
with his face suffused with tears His
mother was greatly troubled. With a
sweet smile and with gentle intona ton
she put one arm around her little baby
boy and asked:
What is it mammals little darling
wants?"
But mammals little darling" continued
to cry.
Mamma made another effort to find out
the trouble.
Does mammals baby boy want some
more cake?' she asked.
Nom said the child, while the tears
continued to flow.
"Does he want some more pie?" she
further inquired.
Nom" he further replied
"Well." said the mother, making a last
effort to reach his case. tell mamma

SUNDAY, NOV. 8, 1908.
THE NEW SUNDAY GLOBE.

Reference to the announcements
made elsewhere in this issue concern
ing the future of the Sunday G l o b e
will explain to our readers the immense
additions and Improvements that have
been already arranged for. The color
supplement has become a fixed feature
of practically every great metropolitan
daily newspaper in the country. The
people desire it, and what the people
want they will have. Every alert
newspaper management has recognized
the fact, as far as color supplements
are concerned, and every progressive
newspaper is furnishing itself with this
attraction.
The march Of improvement In the
columns of T lie Globe has been SO
steady and so rapid that the public
has scarcely had time to familiarize
itself with all the recent additions and
enlargements of it's news service. Per-
haps no one step, however, has marked
SO great an advance as the securing of
the color supplements that will consti-
tute next Sunday and every Sunday
thereafter a regular feature of the
Sunday G obe.
It is the motto of h e G o b that
whenever it has determined upon doing
anything it shall do 1t better than any
body else. We have, therefore, pre-
surpass, both in quality and quantity,
anything offered to the readers of this
section of the country. Most of the
newspapers of the Northwest that run
colors are satisfied with a few pages
used as covers for different sections,
giving the impression of a large exhibit
on very small capital. The Glob b e
will carry eight solid pages of color
work every week.
These supplements are so distributed
and arranged as to be most convenient
for all members of the family. They
will reach our readers in the shape of
two fourpage supplements, separab1e
from each other, but folded together
with the paper for convenience of de-
livery. One four-page supplement will
be devoted exclusively to the comics
that have obtained so strong a hold
upon old and young alike. The other
four-page section will be a strictly
high grade magazine supplement No
such work, either in design or execu-
ton, has ever been placed before the
people of the Northwest as the opening
number of T h G 10 b magazine SUD-
plement that will be issued Nov. Is.
A description of all the different
pages in these supplements will be
found upon the last page Of this morn
ing's Clio b e. We cannot refrain.
however, from calling special attention
to the first page of this magazine sec
tion, which will constitute the outside
cover of next Sundays paper "The
Chrysanthemum GirP' is made from a
photograph, especially posed for this
purpose, and is a real work of art.
Nothing approaches the quality of this
color work, with its perfection of de-
tail and its soft blending of distinct
shades, except some of the colored pic
lures now running in the high-grade
magazines. T e Globe is proud of
being able to offer to all its readers the
very best work done in the United
States. and challenges a comparison
between it's color sections and those of
any other newspaper.

Severe Retrenchment.

CHICAGO, Nov. THE general office

men laid off at South Chicago some days
ago, and those thrown out of employ
ment at Waukegan, numbering / 200 more,
will probably be permanently out of work,

and the Illinois Steel companies are con-
cerned In giving the general offices to
Cleveland, it is said that so per cent OF
the forces in the offices now open in New
Nork, Cleveland and Chicago will be dis
charged. The saving to the company by
the contemplated reduction in office and
mill forces is said to be $780, 600 yearly.

WHAT HAPPENED TO SMITH.

James Henry Smith has so much
money that he makes all the other
Smiths look like-well, like Smith. He
had some Of his own, and then his I'M
Gle died and left him-oh, well, Smith
never counted 1t. The pile included a
hundred millions and then some. So
James Henry went out to spend it.
He, we are told, hired Mrs. Stuy-
vesant Fish to steer him, and bought
SO many automobiles that the members
Of Mrs. Fish's set had to borrow
wagon from him when they wanted to
take a duke out for an airing. He
chartered a 1Drexel yacht because he
couldn't wait to have one built, and he
bought a T. Suffern Taller house, be-
cause 1t was ready-made and looked
like the money.
He cast himself and his money on
the waters Of the social flood, and he
has been doundering about now for
some time, engaged in trying to ac-
count for the obvious fact that he was
floating. And matchmaking mammas
have been watching him with some ap-
prehension.
He bought everything that was Of
fered hin-not with the stupid fndiffer-
ence to values of a man who never
knew what money was, for he has
never been compelled to sleep in box
car. Charge it to Smith," came to be
as familiar as the phrase Zones pays
the fright" used to be. And Smith
settled
And why should he not? He had
the entree everywhere. He was re-
ceived at Newport; had a house in
Park Lane; gave carte blanche orders
for functions at the Waldorf, and look
ed as good as any lord Of them all to
the ingenue. There wasn't anything
that Smith wanted that he couldn't
have-apparently. He was even recon-
ciled to his name.
That was the condition in which
Smith dwelt up to Tuesday, when he
was invited out to dinner at Dunnach-
ton, Scotland. He had been on the
moors all day and was hungry. He
ate venison, moorcock, roast beef, wild
pig, and got away with them all. They
were preceded by a Scotch highball
and washed down with champagne.
Incidentally he hoisted In, after the
fashion Of Smith of America, what
trifes of llors d'ouevres that were pass
ed his way.
They did for him. After escaping
the pitfalls that line the path of the
unwary from Wall street to Scotch
moor, James Henry made his finish
on the hors d'ouevres. He Is now
upon the fiat of his back with some
Scotch doctors working on his $780,
100000 works, but, alack, he may never
get up.
Here is a warning for the Smiths
and their contemporaries of the COM
monalty. Beware of the hors d'ouevres.
Go as far as you like with the caviar
and the truff1es; do not despise a col
lation Of cold beans and champagne,
but avoid the kickshaws with the queer
name If this Smith hadn't got out of
the hash class, he might still be dis
pensing princely hospitality and burn
ing money.
