RACE SUICIDE IN ST. pA,,l

The figures gathered from the record
Of the bureau Of vital statistics in the
st. Paul health department and print
ed In another column of this issue of
e G o e are calculated to startIe
those citizens who interest themselves
in the welfare of the city and the race.
1t is demonstrated that the birth rate
is very much lower than it was ten
years ago. That not only is the rate
lower, but that the total number of
births recorded is actually less than in
1898, when the population Of st. Paul
was at least a quarter and probably a
third less than it is today.
incidentally it is demonstrated that
the proportion of males to females is
not being maintained. If the figures
for ten years could be relied on we
might presently expect to see this town
turned over to the tender sex, for the
preponderence Of boys in the birth rec
ord is fast disappearing. Ultimately, If
the change is permanent, the boy will
disappear altogether, but that might
not be an unnixed evil, and it is hard
ly worth while worrying about.
The figures do not lie in this par
| ticular instance, practically all Of the
births having been reported. Here,
then, is cause for solicitude on the
part Of the president. More, it calls
for action on the part of those persons
who would incorporate the race suicide
letter in the Republican platform. For
that the announcement Of President
| Roosevelt has fixed itself in the minds
of Darius F. Reese, Frederick c. Schiff-
mann, the Hon. Timothy D. Sheehan,
Assistant Attorney General w. D. Doi1-
ahower and other eminent students Of
those questions which affect the well
fare of the race, and who frame Re-
publican issues for this state, is not to
be doubted.
The question even comes home to
those Of US who have nothing to do
with politics and who are held subject
to the will of the landlord. Is the Iogi-
cal outcome of the present tendency to
final elimination of the new born
from the statistician's report going to
free us from the despotism of the land
lord who regards children as evidences
of a criminal tendency on the part of
the parents? 1t must, inevitably.
Let us then content ourselves in spite
of the figures. They simply argue that
the time is approaching when we will
have no membranes and will all be
entitled to live in flats.

CHICAGO MEN AND BOSTON
WOMEN.

1t has been proved by demonstra-
ton by some statistical person that
there are more men than women in
Chicago. It is historical fact that
there are more women than men In
Boston. The solution of one Of the
problems that bother persons who
trouble themselves with the questions
of the age is in sight Let US provide for
better and cheaper transportation IA
ciIitfes between Chicago and Boston
and proceed to the union of the Chi
cagoese man with the Bostonese
women. ~
AS distinct and individual type the
Chicago man Is more lovable than that
Boston woman with whom we have
been familiarized by the persons who
have been interested enough in her to
tell us what she is. He Expresses us
with his insu6erabIe eonceit; his ma
tive disposition to annex his neighbors'
goods; his insatiate appetite for hurry
up lunches and Scotch highballs. He
is dull intellectually to the point of
thinking that Chicago is not only fit
place in which to live, but the most
desirable spot on earth.
The excess Boston woman is excess
baggage. She is to Boston what the
Chicago man is to his town, blot on
the landscape. She goes in for 'isms
as the Chicago manages after a fat
bucolic pocketbook She is intellectual
of the ultras. What she needs is to
be brought to earth. and shown the
need of hustling for the material
things. 1t is a bit hard on the excess
Boston woman to- propose to marry
her to the excess Chicago man, but she
appears to be the complement of the
Chicago party in the scheme of nature.
Nothing was made in vain, but it
looked as though the Chicago man was
an error until the statistical party dis
covered that there were too many OF
him.
Let US bring about the introduction
of the Boston maid and the Chicago
man. If from the union of the two
we could produce a type that would
qualify the ''cussedness" of the Chi
cago man with the moral and intel
lectual qualities of the Boston woman
our efforts would not be in vain.
Such an union might bear heavily
upon the individuals, but they should
be prepared to do something for the
uplifting Of the race.

THE FIRE AT THE FAIR.

The destruction of the club building
on the state fair grounds directs at
tention to the need for more adequate
fire protection for the big show. 1t is
said that the fire might have been sup
pressed had there been even a hand
grenade in the building.
It is true that much has been done
to insure the safety of the buildings and
their contents, but, unfortunately
many of the structures are Of highly
inflammable material and they would
readily fall prey to a f1rebrand that
might wipe out the plant if there hap
pened to be high wind blowing. Pro-
vision is made in a general way for the
checking of fires in their incipiency,
but it is not possible to maintain fire
extinguishing apparatus in sufficient
quantity to cope with a spreading con-
fagration.
The lesson Of the fire of yesterday is
obvious So soon as possible the char
acter of the material in all the build
iings must be changed. They must be
made fireproof.
The permanence Of the great fair has
been established. The agricultural So
ciety is no longer struggling; the state
is quite able to finance a judicious
plan for the reconstruction of the
wooden buildings on the grounds. 1t
will require some nice calculating to
figure plan whereby all the buildings
may be made f1reproof without incur
ring an expense that would be bur-
densome, but it is quite possible.
Meantime there is no occasion for
alarm on the part of exhibitors. The
exhibition buildings are so isolated
that a general fire is not to be looked
for; the character of most Of the build
ings is such as to preclude the posi-
bility of such a fire as that of yester-
day recurring. But they should all be
made fireproof. The renewal Of those
that are not built of the most durable
material would only be anticipated by
few years If it were undertaken at
once.

and accept cheerful1y whatever route
may eventually be determined upon,
provided it is reasonably adequate for
the needs to be served, no matter
whether it may be their own choice or
not
For the present, we urge the side
tracking of this phase of the question
altogether. There has been more or
less debate upon it for many years,
with the natural result that we have no
cross town line whatever nor will we
have as long as an issue upon which
public opinion can be divided is made
prominent. The first step is to present,
with united front, and in the strongest
terms, the need of a cross town line.
Let the street railway company un-
derstand that we want this, that we
want it at once, that we will insist
upon it.
The time to settle details will come
later. Once get an agreement to build
the line, and conferences between the
company and the representatives of
the people can take up the matter of
route. For the present it seems to us
that any general discussion of that
subject, however intelligent and die
tated by true public spirit, can be made
stumbling block to the main issue

provement that means so much to US

VERBAL sNoRRERY.

Under the above heading the editor
of the Bookman, a magazine devoted
to literature, classes the painful ac-
curacies of the suddenly educated. He
has his opinion of persons who say
Cannot you" and others who would
never be guilty of running the last let
ter of any word into the first one of
the next. It is not necessary to go
very deep into this subject in order
to make it plainsto the ordinary reader
| or writer what is meant by verbal
snobbery.
We have an met, and suffered by,
the persons who would die before they
would say don't" and who regard you
with stony stare if you happen to
say faint either." The editor of
the Boolsn1an argues from this
desire to gbe entirely accurate
a knowledge of language which
is not of long standing, and he calls
It snobbery. He probably regards the
distressingly correct speaker just as
veteran of good society regards the
newcomer to its ranks who holds the
ways and customs of society Just ac-
quired, with an awe amounting to rev.
erence, and would rather die than
break over the bounds. Familiarity
with society as with language breeds
certain contempt of it's laws and
makes one accustomed to both. rather
law unto himself. He saws

CONGRATULATIONS AND A sUe-
GESTION,

The management of the state fair,
and the state itself whose enterprise It
was, are to be congratulated upon the
magnificent showing of the week just
closed. 1t was time for the breaking
of records. Enormous crowds went and
came, limited only by the ability of the
street railway company to accommo-
date them. Receipts piled UP to splen-
did figures; and but for the unhappy
calamity of yesterday, the destruction
entails a heavy financial loss, the net
profits would have been more than
handsome. AS 1t is, that misfortune
does not count at all against the en-
due to good management as well as to
public interest and hearty public sup
port, we all know.
It may be suggested to the managers
Of the association that they SHOULD
hegeafter abandon the evening enter
tainment as feature of the annual ex-
hibition. When the fair was a strug-
Cling institution, endeavoring to pre-
vent an annual deficit. there was good
reason to add any attraction that would
increase the gate receipts. But the
evening bill can be no part of the fair
proper, and is not. Financially, it Is
no longer necessary. The great crowds
Of people who come from the country
during fair week would remain in the
cities, If this programme were omitted;
and would find pleasure and entertain
ment there. We, think that the. fair
would gain in dignity and are sure that
the public as whole would be better

song upon the lips. The highest de-
velopment waits upon the connection
established "before God fashioned sur
or star" Today it is the peoples whose
women are toys or slaves who fall be-
hind in every race and tread unWit-
tingly the way to dusty death.
Again we hit upon the subtle and in
explicabIe law that seems to run
through all being; the law which raises
triumph out of sacrifice, and exalts the
humble through the mighty. Myriads
of the dear, dead women" of our an
cient past have subordinated prefer
ence and personality and the vital joys
of life to merge their existences with
those of men who, by that strength,
pushed our old world one impulse far
Their up the slow, ascending way. The
blind instinct that recognizes it turns
with reverence and highest honor to
that life of enlightenment; and the
ideal. of womanhood becomes dominant
in the most virile and exalted races OF
the earth.
Thus haltingly we pay the debt. We
hide away the deep things of the heart
where no -profane look may fall upon
them. But life itself gives tribute, and
the truth of history defies alike our in
difference, our reverence and our ten
der slfame- One-half Of that history is
written only in other books than ours.
Their pages tell the part that woman
plays in the great deeds of all times, in
the valor and the craftiness and the
undaunted steadfastness Of man, in
words that would turn to weakness

ever chanted to his mate.
