UNNECESSARILY sEvERE

The well known impetuosity of the
artistic temperament accounts for the
rather surprising statement of Mr..
Cass Gilbert before the capitol COM
mission. Mr.. Gilbert is naturally in
terested in the completeness and per-
fection of the great architectural crea-
ton whose rise he has superintended.
To his eye the failure to provide
suitable approach and surroundings for
the magnificent new capitol is not
merely an artistic offense, but a crime.
He cannot understand, probably, why
every individual in St. Paul does not
feel about it exactly as he does. Be
cause they do not all feel with the
same intensity he says that, as far as
this matter is concerned, st. Paul is
absolutely dead.
Mr.. Gilbert undoubtedly put into
these words a great deal more than
they ought to imply. Much fndigna-
ton has been felt and expressed by
our people that such things should be
said by citizen who, though he has
reflected honor on the community,
owes to it on his side no small debt for
opportunity and sympathy. Possibly
some good may come in both directions
from a speech whose severity is at
laast offset nv its franixneSs
St. Paul is not to be reproached, we
think, for Indifference on this impor-
tant subject. The labors of this city
in behalf of a suitable capitol have
been great and unremitting. For Pc
riod of years our efforts have been di-
rected to creating public opinion, to
explaining, to helping in the erection of
"a capitol building that will be worthy
of Minnesota and artistically complete.
Those who have undergone these Ia
bors know their severity and the OBJ
stacles and discouragements which
they have had to overcome. Had there
not been public feeling on the. mat
ter, strong and ready effort and sacri-
fees. we should have had cheap and
horrible structure instead of the spIen-
did caifice that is neW the delight of all
who behold it.
On The other band. the completion
of this work is a matter of time and of
degree. The state itself; wise as the
expenditure has been. would never
have granted in its first appropriation
The sum that has been expended. It
had 10 be educated TO what new cap
/ itol really meant. The city Of st. Paul
has mere burdens than one and many
avenues in which its money must be
spent 70 make what 9fr. Gilbert
would consider 4 proper approach to
The ncw capito. would cost an enor-
nous sum OF money, and it would be
quite out of the question for this city
to bear the cost of it except by dis
tribufing the burden over long period
of years. Locking at the whole project
reasonably and in the practical way in
which all affairs involving large ex-
pendituess must be regarded, we do
not think that 81. Paul is open to this
severe reproaeh.
Nothing is altogether aniss. how
ever, which gives Flip to public
sririt and local pride. We have to cen
fess, and all citizens of St. Paul admit
with some modification, that this is
far less thal We would have it. ST

INDECENCY

We had really not supposed that this
was the kind of campaign where fnde-
cent personal charges would be made
on either side in the presidential con-
test. This was and is true as far as the
Democrats are concerned. No man
has reflected upon the personal integ
rity or private character of Theodore
Roosevelt. No man has nlaligned his
family or accused him of impropriety.
The standard was set, indeed, by Judge
Parker himself when he notified the
publishers of the Democratic campaign
| book that no matter must be included
within it of a personal nature directed
against the president. 1t was sup
| posed that SO conspicuous and unusual,
although entirely proper. courtesy
would be respected not only by Mr..
Roosevelt but by those of his sup
porters who have less of the gentle
man in their composition.
The response to this method of cam
paignings is found in an announcement
sent out by an alleged special service
published in ar, Eastern newspaper and
republished on the first page of ST.
Paul Republican organ under the far
ing headline, How Parker Was
Bought" The article goes on to state
that a short time before the st. Louis
convention a deal was made between
Judge Parker and August Belmont and
others, by which Judge Parker was to
become the candidate of the Demo-
| cratic party and was to be provided
| with a position as attorney for August
Belmont at salary of $4,000 year.
The only comment to be. made upon
this is that it is sheer political inde-
cency. No authority is given. as Of
course none can be given, for the lie.
1t is just a lie pure and simple. Not
| only does its improbabiIity stand out
from the face of it, but one of the
things in this campaign about which
| there can be no question is the sin
cerity, the honesty, the utter freedom
from improper Or entangling complica-
tions of Judge Parker. That he could
| be a party to any kind of deal with a
financial side to it is exactly as i'm
possible, and known by every decent
man in the United States to be as i'm
| possible, as that Theodore Roosevelt
should accept a money bribe for doing
or net doing something in the line of
his official duty.
Out. upon such tactics The men who
concoct and the men who circulate
such tales as this ought to feel the full
weight of public opprobrium. Unless
President Roosevelt's advisers and
managers promptly disavow any share
in this infamous business, as, we be-
lieve they will do it should cost him
and them many votes. The era of po-
litica1 fndecehcy has passed, we hope,
forever The way to keep it in its
grayeaisato punish it with the utmost
severity whenever and wherever it
rears its foul head once more.

CHARGES COERCION
Merchant Says Private Car
System Used Threats

CHICAGO, Oct. 12-At today's ses-
sion of the interstate commerce COM
mission E. G. Davies, of Chicago, CON-
mission merchant, testified that be-
cause he would not pay alleged eX-
orbitant icing rates the Armour Car
company placed an embargo upon his
business. He testified that an agent
of the company called him from his
office and told him he might as well
go out of business. He said they
threatened that no freight consigned
to him by shippers would be received
unless all charges were paid in advance
by the shippers.
The threat was carried out, Davies
testified, and during last summer, he
said, he received no shipments from
the entire vegetable belt south of Cairo,
Ill.
Davies further testified that since the
ArmoI:r refrigerator line had secured
an exclusive contract with the Pere
Marquette, compelling the growers and
shippers of the Michigan fruit belt to
use Armour cars and pay Armour
prices, rates have increased 416 2-3 per
cent.
1.-The shippers can either pay the un-
reasonable prices demanded by Ar
mour," said Davies, "or let their fruit
rot"
Mr.. Davies presented as evidence let
ters from patrons informing him that
Armour & Co. had refused to accept
shipments for him unless all charges
were prepaid. He also furnished mass
of testimony relating to the contrast in
refrigeration charges between points of
the same distance.
J. S. Leeds, general manager of the
Santa Fe refrigerator line, admitted
that his conpanV paid rebates of $25
a car on shipments from Northern
California points in order to meet the
competition of Armour. He said the
Santa F'e Railroad company was not
a common carrier, and that he pro-
posed to continue to make inducements
for patronage as long as conditions
warranted.
CHICAGO, Oct. 12-The alleged ex-
tortionate charges and arbitrary prac-
tices of the Armour Car company were
again the subject of careful examina-
ton by the interstate commerce COM
mission at its closing session this aft
ernoon, and the commission finally ad-
journed, pending a special call, with the
investigation suspended.
Charges of gross oppression were
made by several commission men Of
Chicago and other points, who have
had to depend on the Armour car sys-
tenn for the transportation of their
produce.
