The Northwestern Chronicle issued
yesterday big semi-centenniaI edi-
ton which is credit to the publishers
OF that excellent paper and to the city
in which 1t has been established for
so many years. This issue contains
forty pages Of well prepared and hand
somely illustrated matter eyideneine
splendid enterprise on the part Of the
management OF the paper and a cordial
appreciation by the people of it's ex-
cellence. There are chapters of most
interesting events happening in the
early history Of st. Paul, and an es-
pecially careful review of the work of
the devoted representatives OF the
Catholic church who played a part so
important in the founding OF this COM
munity and the development of this
commonwealth We congratulate the
Chronicle no less upon the success
which has crowned its efforts than
upon having so thoroughly deserved it,
and recommend its special edition as a
library of facts binding together the
earlier and the later stages in the life
of ST. Paul.

to last the record, established and In
vincible. OF that political pit into which
he has voluntarily descended. We can
not in such case, with the record of the
lican party written in fifth all over the
past history OF this city, feel that DR..
Boyle has done honor to himself or
that he can retain the confidence OF
any considerable portion Of the public
when he thus passes over the border
and cendones and upholds, on the part
Of certain men politically selected,
those acts and those policies from
which he recofls in horror when con-
nected actually or in imagination with
the opposite political faith.
This is not the method or the act ofthe
sincere champion of morals. not even
of the zealot whose folly we sometimes
pardon for it's desperate sincerity; it is,
we say with regret for the unacceptable
conclusion, the method only Of the
stump speaker in the ordinary political
campaign, who goes out to sustain his
own side and to fagellate and befoul
the other without the slightest interest
in the relative predominance of moral
right and wrong. Those who venerate
the church and the high Office of its
clergy have a right to protest, and do
protest in that great name. against
such sacrilege with an earnestness
which no consideration Of the doubtful
political influence welded one way or
the other could ever provoke.

Growth is learning his by practical ex-
perience. Interest in gardening has
already transformed many st. Paul
back yards and it is probable that
many more will be transformed this
coming season. There is nothing more
contagious than the pleasant mania for
gardening and the example of his next
door neighbor is apt to make the citi-
zen contemplate his own neglected
back premises seriously. From such
consideration to practical demonstra-
ton with the hoe is but step, and the
city and the citizen will both be the
better for it when that step has been
taken.

THE ALpERMANIc CANDIDATES.

Too much importance cannot be at
tached to the necessity for carefully
considering the claims of the candi-
dates for alderman at the coming elec-
ton.
The aldermanic body, although CO.
ordinate in it's powers with the assem-
bly,. has in some fashion come to be
regarded as the popular branch of the
local legislature. Through the localized
method of selecting the body its mem
bers are brought more closely into
contact with their constituents than
are the members of the assembly. A
large proportion of the legislation is
initiated by the aldermen. They should
represent more closely their constitu-
ents than the assembly, and upon the
activity and capacity of the aldermen
depends the prosperity of the wards in
civic Improvements. Therefore it is
well for the voter to inquire for him
self into the character and merits Of
the candidates for alderman in his
ward.
The Globe has 10 hesitation in
the Democratic candi-
dates generally to the voters. IN prac-

not a first aid to cleanliness. but a
death-dealing instrument and the town
Is seeking some means of counteract-
ing its evil effect. 1t has been pro-
posed that before the broom is en-
ployed the janitor shall sprinkle the
tioor of each room with wet sawdust.,
but the humanitarian, who exists even
in Minneapolis, has raised his voice in
protest against adding an extra burden
to the already overburdened school
janitor.
Properly used, the broom is all that
our grandmothers believed it to be-a
weapon that enforces cleanliness and
vanquisher of dirt. But it is undenia-
BILE that improperly used it frequently
defeats the purpose for which it was
fashioned. The day viii come when the
janitor will have to possess some other
qualifications than the single negative
one of needing a job and the single posi-
tive one of keeping sober before he Sc

building. He will have. to convince the
authorities that he knows something
about sanitation and that his idea of
making clean does not consist merely
of raising a dust with the broom and
OF going over the floor with a weighty
and very black rag that has been
dipped in thick black liquid that
bears not the remotest resemblance to
water. 1t is the janitor. not the broom,
that is to blame for the dust and dis

1t is not probable that any reguIa-

of the schoolhouse. With patience he
can be taught that It is not a health

WHO'S WHO, BUT NO OTHER.

Some day all those who are not eli
gible for membership In any society
will form a society of their own, and
then the good citizens of these United
States will once more find themselves
equal as well as free. But until such
a society is organized. the burning
question Of the hour will continue to
be, ITO what society do you belong %
The latest to organize or to contem-
plate organization are those fortunate
individuals who find their names
printed in the book known as who's
Who in America" Only who's who
will be eligible; no other need apply.
Even those pessimIsts who scott at
all societies will have to admit that
Who's Who society win be able to
show more American reason for be-
ing than any society yet organized.
You cannot get into Who's Who unless
you have accomplished something
yourself. No accident of birth will
place you there. There are any num-
Der Of routes by which you may arrive,
the literary, the artistic, the social and
various other routes. but the genealog-
zeal route is not included among them.
No matter how long line of ancestors
you may boast, they cannot give you a
boost here.
Yet granted that it is American in
spirit, it is still difficult to see what
object those "who are who" have In
uniting. 1t cannot be for the purpose
of building fence around themselves.
for the members will have no authority
to keep intruders out. Perhaps thew
are organizing for the purpose of keep
ing green the graves OF those who are
who who have departed this life. Such
an object would be most laudable
one, but there is danger that the ag-
grieved relatives of some who's who
may not see it in that light. Or per-
haps they are organizing merely for
the pleasure of converting. But if such
be their purpose, they surely have
overlooked the fact that they will rep
resent aims and interests widely sepa-
rate.
No matter what its object, however,
the new society will undoubtedly
thrive. For if American in spirit, it is
sufficiently un-American in name to
appeal to all who are eligible for mem
bership. 1t will arouse the ire of those
who have no hope Of ever belonging,
and that Is all that is necessary to keep
any society in a condition of heaIthfuI
activity. Harmony may not prevail at
Its convention sessions, but gratffica-
ton over being able to display a Who's
Who pin, whispering a Who's who
password and waving Who's Who coll
ors will compensate for all possible dis
advantages.

win learn these things if he is made to
realize that his position depends upon
it. In the meanwhile it is to be hoped
that Minneapolis will not Danish the
broom. So far nothing has been in
vented which has proved SO satisfac-
tory. and until better article is in
vented the broom must be retained.

Increasing Cost Of Education.

In view of the criticisms to which
several of the institutions of higher
education have been subjected lately
because of their having raised their
tuition fees. it is only fair to say that
students whose parents cannot afford
to pay the higher fees have opportuni-
ties now as never before to earn money
for themselves summers and during
term time. The new assessments at
Columbia and elsewhere, it is to be
suspected, will bear most heavily upon
that rather undesirable class of stu
dents, the anaenie and unenergetic.
The sturdy and hustling will hardly
feel it at all-Boston Transcript.

THE IMPULSE TO DIG.

This is the season of the year when
the householder, from a rear porch
vantage, seriously considers the pros
and cons of diversified farming in con-
nection with his eight by ten back
yard. The impulse to dig win probably
seize hold of more men and women
this season than ever before, for the
gardening wave has swept over the
country. If every back yard this sum-
mer shall not be made to blossom as the
rose it viii not be for lack of good in
tentfons. but rather for lack of techni-
cal knowledge.
Gardening is regarded as a fad by
many. but it has accomplished more
for those cities that have adopted it
than any other fad Of recent years. To
appreciate its full importance one has
only to visit those city schools where
the chief outdoor concern Of teachers
and pupils is not the well being of a
lawn which. it is hoped, viii become
velvety, but the well being OF plump
seeds hidden away in glass-covered
boxes. The love of flowers, and, in
deed. of all growing plants. is Unborn in
every child and the few simple lessons
in plant culture which he is taught at
school are apt to remain with him.
And as the children learn their les
sons from the teachers in the schools.

pomposity on the eve of conflict. No

The Month of Moods

Yesterday was the the first day
of the first month of spring, accord
ing to the calendar, and the day
arose to the occasion. For -four
long, dreary months we have had
cold and snow and ice unrclieved
except by ice and snow and cold.
The "oldest inhabitant" cannot
recall more severe winter, when
the thermometer fell lower or the
days were colder or the winds more
biting,
Yesterday, however, the crisp
atmosphere was warmed into
temperateness, the sun shone
bright and even old mother earth
assumed springtime airs. Where
formerly were barren fields and
BLACK landscapes now appear hope
full signs Of approaching verdure.
New life was manifest on every
hand and men moved as if impell-
ed by purposefpl aims.
Let us hope that this day is but
the earnest of the brighter days to
come, which will be appreciated all
the more by contrast with the cold
and buster of the past few
months,
March came in like a lamb; may
it continue and end with the same
gsntleness,
