hardly probable that the thieves

REGISTER TODAY

1t is a matter of the highest impor-
tance that every citizen of this city
should qualify himself to vote at the
coming election. The election booths
will be open all day today for the pur-
pose of registering voters, and this is
the time to make sure of securing the
right to vote
The law makes it necessary that
every person shall register himself in
the precinct in which he lives. 1t is
not enough that one registered and
voted at the spring election. new
registration is required at every cleo
ton, and unless the voter took part in
the recent primary election, thereby
registering, it is his duty to register
today
This duty should be urged particu-
larly upon Democrats. A compare
lively small part of the Democratic
vote came out at the primary election
There were no contests worth while to
bring the vote out. 1t follows that a
very much larger proportion Of the
Republican vote is registered than of
the Democratic. This condition must
be overcome today.
The election involves issues which
demand the consideration of every
voter. The sharp contest on the gov-
ernorship, with the Importance of the
issues at stake, should be sufficient to
inspire every citizen with the desire
to exercise the franchise he enjoys.
We have no doubt that every indiyid-
uaI feels the importance of the cam
paign, and it should only be necessary
to point the necessity for registering.
Let each Democrat consider himself
committee of one and take upon
himself the duty of getting at least one
other voter than himself registered. II
the Democrats register today we will
carry this county for the ticket from
top to bottom.

NOT SETTLED YET

The people of St. Paul will not be
satisfied until the court of last resort
has passed upon the merits Of the case
which was decided by Judge Lochren
yesterday in favor of the city railway
company
The decision rendered by Judge
Lochren- carries with it extremely val
liable rights which many excellent
lawyers believe are vested in the peo-
pie. We do not criticise the decision
of the learned judge at all, but it is OBJ
vious that there is still room for con-
tention and only the opinion of the SUI
preme court of the United States will
satisfy the people that the street rail-
way company is entitled to the privi-
leges now declared to be vested in it.
Corporation Attorney Michael has
handled the case with great skill 1t
was put before the court in all its
bearings and tried with much ability.
We know just what the contentious OF
the parties are, and knowing this and
appreciating the Importance of the
franchises now vested in the company,
we shall expect that the city will i'm
mediately take steps to get a final de-
cision. The expense must not be con-
sidered at all. We are assured that
Mr.. Michael win not relax his efforts
until it has been demonstrated beyond
question that the city has parted with
its right to the privileges now claimed
by the city railway company.

city mas pointed out the dangers that
lie in text books undiscrinlinatingly
distributed, and passed frens pupil to
pupil and from family to family, and
has mentioned that these dangers
would be Immensely multiplied were
school supplies to be handled in the.
same manner.--New this would inev-
itablv follow. The so-called free text
book is but a preliminary. It is abb
surd to suppose that the public viii as
sumo the responsibility of furnishing
the child with an northumberland refuse
to furnish him SLATE and pencil to do
the work that the possession of the
arithmetic Involves It is absurd to
suppose that the public will buy books
containing exercises to be performed
and not furnish scratch blocks and.
lead pencils for working out those ex-
ercises. The first step involves all the.
others, and the addition of every sup.
ply to free text books viii greatly en-
hance at once the expense and tie
danger.
1t seems that the attitude of the St.
Paul public at this time toward the
free text book proposition. should be
one of suspended judgment. The
voters are not required to choose be-
tween extremes If they vote affirma-
lively, indeed, their action will be
final. The city, having once agreed to
furnish text books. must go on doing
it forever. If they vote negatively it is
merely a postponement. 1t viii be
equivalent to saying that in the pres
ent condition of our finances with the
present tax rate and the additions that
are sure to be made to, it, with the
present wants of our public schools
which the funds available are not
sufficient to supply, St. Paul has de-.
cided to wait before accepting this ex-
pensive innovation. It does not seem
that there could be any question of the
wisdom of this latter attitude. Should
conditions change so that the city
would be able to supply text books
without injury to other interests or
adding extra burdens to the taxpayer.
we can reopen the question at any
time. 1t is one for the future and not
for the present.

Contemporary Comment
Why the Heathen Race

Judge Parker,s emphatic speech in
favor of Philippine independence has
stirred the Republicans to unwonted
thunders of loquacious wrath He
advocates the policy of ..scnttle;" he
Is a bad American and poor spirited
creature. Why all this raging of the
heathen2 Mr.. Parker has said the
same thing before. Thousands of the
most eminent men in this country pc
t1tloned both party conventions TO
promise the Filipinos independence.
These college presidents, bishops,
Judges, philanthropists, the Republican
press merely pitied. not reviled. Why,
then, should it storm SO violently at
Judge Parker for agreeing with the
best in the land: Such fury is not
usually awakened in Republican hearts
unless the pocket-nerxe is touched
We suspect it has been. Many a scheme
for making money out of the Philippines
depends upon their retention, and is
only waiting till after election to be
brought out and pushed. Hence the
feroeity of the Republican press.-New

MORSE THAN INcAPAclTY


The great significance of the almost
incredible act of the Russian warships
in firing upon a British fishing feet is
in its national and not its international
aspect. The latter is quickly settled.
OF course No one for an instant could
suppose that Russia intended to force
a war with England by a wanton at
tack upon her citizens. That the act
was deliberate or premeditated is un-
thinkable The action of the Russian
government with reference to the cap
ture of British merchant vessels earlier
in the war is conclusive. What Russia
then disavowed under circumstances
where she had a possible grievance she
must now disavow where she has none.
The fullest reparation that can be
made will be made, and there wiz be
no international complication arising
out of this sad affair.
Its relation to Russia herself and to
her conduct of naval affairs is the
really important point. It stamps her
in the eyes of all the world as utterly
lacking either in capacity or in civili-
cation. 1t is mark of the highest
possible ineficiency. and the heaviest
disgrace that could fall upon any
great power. Here is squadron of
warships thousands of miles away
from any possible enemy, sailing over
peaceful seas, which upon sighting a
lot of fishing trawlers turns its guns
upon the helpless boats. What sort of
management is this? It denotes either
condition of utter panic or a reek-
lessness equal to that of the small boy
with his first gun. Clearly Russia
ought not to be permitted to go
abroad anywhere with warship.
The recurrence of this event after
the experience-of the Russian cruisers
in the Mediterranean and the Russian
Vladivostok ships in their foray on
merchantmen of neutral nations seems
to be conclusive. Russia has no busi-
ness with a navy until she learns how
to use it. If she has displayed little
ability in pitting her vessels against
those of Japan, her unfitness is a thou
sand times better displayed in her in
ability to distinguish between friends
and foes. Partly this is due to the
lack of naval experience The men
who command her fleet know prac-
tically nothing of war upon the high
seas, their nerves are at high tension;
and. stung by the many nishaps that
the Port Arthur feet has experienced,
they are ready to take any chance of
injuring a friend rather than let a pos
sible enemy approaels.
Behind that is their temperament
and the despotic system to which they
are accustomed. They know only a
regime in which supreme commands
are issued from above, and anybody
who does not instantly obey or clear
the path is food for destruction. The
Russian attempts, in his war with
another power, TO apply everywhere
the Russian autocratic system. When
he runs up against the obligations Of
international law he is probably almost
as much surprised as is the power
that he has outraged
The incident, we repeat, viii not
change international relations or af-
feet, probably, the course of the war
with Japan. It sets upon Russia, how
ever, in the eyes of all the world a
more indeIible stain than would follow
the loss of many battles. This dreadful
act, in which innocent men perished
and which viii bring the offender to
