THE SHAME OF TWO CITIES
Cleveland Leader.


It is charged by a newspaper in st.
Louis that an organized system Of traffic
in young women has been carried on in
that city under police protection; and an
investigation by the grand jury is to be
instituted. This is another chapter in the
story Of the shame of one of the great mu-
inequalities of the United States. How
similar it is to that part of the story Of
the shame of Minneapolis which related
to the organized system Of robbery that
was carried on there, not only under pc
lice protection. but with police assistance.
But in both these cities there is the
same responsibility for existing conditions.
In both places the people are to blame. In
Minneapolis the infamous creature who
was mayor for several terms, and who
has been taken back to that city to stand
trial on a criminal charge, was reelected
after the people had been told exactly
what sort Of a man he was. The corrup-
tion of the city administration in st. Louis
had been pointed out by the newspapers
without apparent effect upon the voters.
The people were satisfied and contented
until, like a volcanic eruption, the disclo-
sures Of vice came and the whole country
was shocked.
rS Why, did the people permit such condi-
lions to continue in MINES polls and st
LOUISE Have they no moral sensibilities?
DO they think good government is not
worth the effort tot:obtain it? Are they
not, rather, inclined to. discredit as po-
litical. charges that are made against pub
lie. officials In a general way, and willing
to let things run as they will until specific
accusations are made and the grand Jury
begins the work Of turning OF indictments
against those who misuse the official pow
Fers with which they are clothed by the
voters? sSssS: s.: IS.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
The Basketry Question.
Editor of The Journa1.


To the Editor of The Journal:
:; We want our children to grow up to be
intelligent, thinking, practical, sensible
Well-balanced, successful people.
. There isn't any man or woman who has
a right to monopoly of educational IDEAS
we are all too dependent upon the expert
ences of one another everywhere, in all
the walgs of life, to be willing to take any
one mans ideas, wholly. Are not all
at a tangent, until they ride some pet
hobby into the ground?
Now. who is fitted to judge what the
education is that leads to the result we
desire? Isn't it the successful practical
men and women of affairs? An education
that has made them what they are is good
for our children. The experiences of such
people should be heard.
.. There is safety in a multitude of counsel
and why act like sheep and make the
same mistake that other cities are making
If 1T is true that they are copying Chi
cago? Cities are like people and people
are like sheep sometines-when a leader
makes'a mistake-junps through hole
in the bridge, they all jump through be-
cause he does, without thinking fa,
enough to know that they will be
drowned. ---
Now, we are being aypnotized. Being
hypnotized is to have our attention at
tracted to something fascinating and then
to be led along until we forget to think
for ourselves. Now, that is just what we
have been doing. s@ .s ~
Why not let other cities profit by our
experience and send them a note of warn
ing and even a vote of sympathy? 81
There are some teachers who profess to
believe in basketry in school, but if it
appeals to their taste and judgment more
than more intellectual work it does not to
the parents and they are more likely to
see it in it's true proportions, for they are
farther away, and have the benefit Of the
perspective and usually distance lends
enchantment,'' but in this case there is
no enchantment-no matter how far away
you get.
Generally a true thing, right thing, is
recognized by the majority of intelligent
people there is something :, satisfying
about tit finds an amen in our feelings
sometimes thrills us-We know not why.
Have you ever been thrilled by the thought
of basketry in school or out? Does it find
an echo in your heart?
1t does not appeal.to the people. Why?
Because it is a false note-it is out Of har-
mony with progress. and progress is the
law of our lives It is out of keeping with
the more advanced, more enlightened
more necessary, occupations of an ad-
yanced civilization. We have better
things to do and no time for nonsense.

Some of our contemporaries are max
ing a lot of unnecessary fuss over the
Gandrud antimerger bill, passed yester-
day by the house. It is not aimed at the
Northern Securities company. Attorney
General Douglas with all his talents, can
rot draw an ex post facto law that would
be held good, and would break up a deal
already contaminated. The Gandrud bill
is a. very good thing, and it is a pity it
was not on the statutes two years ago,

Tillman Is Learning,


It is both amusing and encouraging to
dignity Of the senate and interested
in a nice question Of comfy between the
two houses of congress. This new phase
of the senator's career, together with his
recent comparatively mild discussion Of
the race problem encourages the belief
that the old, rude, ugly, pugnacious Till
man is giving place to an urbane, mild,
there is yet a long road for the South
Carolina senator to travel before the
transformation is complete, but certainly
there are beginnings.
One of the first essentials of courtesy is
the overlooking at times of stubborn and
disagreeable facts. Congressman Cannon
Of Illinois failed to overlook the disagree
congress UP for $4,000. In fact, he was
so impolite as to deliver speech with
| that holdup as his theme. Nothing could
| have been more discourteous. To be dis
| courteous is far worse than to hold up.
Mr., Tillman made this very plain yester"
day when, after a lengthy protest against
the extra ordnary rudeness Of the Illinois
congressman and much insistence that it
was a SANDER to represent him as hold
ing up congress for $4,000, he added:
Il simply shut my jaws on that bill and
determined to have that money or an
extra session of congress-.
Mr.. Tillman was so courteous that the
example was contagious. and Senators
Allison and Hale waxed excessively polite
! and defended Brer 7rillman from the
4 charge of legislative blackmail,> and in
sisted that the $4,000 item was added
Il by Mr.. Tillman as an eternally just meas
ure, which as a devotee of Righteousness
he must insist upon with all the ardor Of
i his ardent nature, with all the emphasis
of his positive being. y
There are many kinds and degrees o.
courtesy, but the greatest Of these is sen
atorial courtesy, and that is the kind Sen
ator Tillman is mastering.

Assailing the Board of Control.

The board of control is being put to
shipping off it's authority here and there
All the ships were put together in a bill
passed by the state senate yesterday.
They deprive the board Of authority over
the university, the normal schools, the
Owatonna public school, and the Faribault
institutions. :: There are remaining to the
board under this bill the insane asylums,
the state prison, the reformatory and the
training school,
There is general agreement. that the
university should be controlled by it's own
board of regents. Even the board Of con-
troll comedies that. There is a very strong
and general opinion that the normal
schools should be under control of a sep
arate board. Up to that point a general
principle governs legislation restricting
the sphere of the board.
The Faribault schools and the Owatonna
school have been cut out by the Peachey
bill because they are in Faribault and in
Owatonna. For a similar reason the Fer
gus Falls insane asylum might be cut
out, or the Red Wing training school or
the reformatory, and if the Peachey bill
becomes law we fear it will not be long
before the board OF control will be a board
without any duties. ....'
Friends of the university who are. warm
supporters of the board of control plan
do not fight hard for the board, because
they fear that in retaliation the boards
enemies, uniting with the friends of this
that and the other local withdrawal from
the boards authority, will keep the uni
versity where it ought not be and is
not wanted. The same fear keeps the
friends of the normal schools in line fol-

troll piecemeal. a,sa.., +. 49,

Railroad men are looking forward to
the influence which the coming Panama
canal will have on the transportation
lines of this country. It's now conceded
that the south will be most benefited, that
international traffic will tend to seek the
great waterway while many new enter,
prises will be built up at or near Central
America. Already various railroad q
schemes are being drawn up by New YORK
men which have bearing or relation to
the traffic developed by the big canal.
Belief here is that existing steam ship
lines will greatly benefit by the canal, both
before and after its construction. The
Pacific Mail Company, for instance, is
likely to be large carrier of materials to
be used in the construction OF that
thoroughfare.
