At St. Paul Theaters

The Roosevelt club, of Minneapolis,
will occupy the boards at the Metro
politan opera house this afternoon and
evening, presenting musical comedy,
entitled Baron Humbug''
During the past two years this YER
satiIe. organization has demonstrated
that feminine grace and beauty are no
longer essential to the success of comic
opera, for it has presented two operas
without single fair contributor either
among the principals or chorus. The
club expects to further demonstrate.
this to the theater going public this
afternoon and evening, when it will ap-
pear at the Metropolitan in its latest
musical venture, Baron Humbug."
1t is surprising what transformations
can be worked with a pretty wig, a lit
tie paint and powder, a dainty pair of
French-he shoes, little lacing, a
little judicious padding to round out
few of the angles, few dainty skirts,
a becoming gown and picture hat.
Minneapolis people who have known
members of the club for years have
found it impossible to pick out their
friends when they appear before the
footlights. In fact, were it not for their
voices, it would be almost impossible
to distinguish them from the average
opera chorus.
The members Of the club make no at
tempt to disguise their voices. They
know that by doing so they would de-
tract from the desired harmony and
would make their characters mere bur-
lesaues.

within a week. Two men accused of
crime killed themselves at South st.
Paul, one by the rope, the other by
pistol shot. One unhappy woman chose
to die by mercurial poisoning, man
killed himself with strychnine because
he found it difficult to make a living,
and Thursday another unfortunate
turned on the gas.
The strange sequence of these events
gives some color to the theory held by
many that crimes and suicides are in
spired by example. The second suicide
in South st. Paul may have been
brought about by the example of the
first. The public mind was undoubt-
eddy agitated by the news that man
apprehended for a crime had killed
himself. The second victim no doubt
had in his thoughts the deed Of his I'M
happy predecessor on the road to self
destruction. He was the victim of the
publicity given the first case Of self
destruction. But this can hardly be
cides. They were brought about by the
unhappiness of the individuals who
sought to escape imaginary or impend-
ing evils by shuff1ing Off the coil. The
victims may have had in mind the easy,
escape effected by the other unfortu-
mates. The events were looked for
ward to by the news men who have
their minds fixed on epidemics. 1t was
not known how or where the casualties
would eventuate, but they were ex-'
pected.>
The series of suicides suggests the
idea that there may be something in the
contention of the people who hold that
crime is born of emulation. In Ohio
the proposition was made that news
papers should be prohibited from CIV
ing the details of suicides. 1t was not
enacted in a statute, but this is perhaps
to be regretted. The function of the
newspaper is to promote the public
good, and if it could be shown that the
suppression of details in crimes and
suicides would make for the betterment
of public morals it is not to be doubted
that respectable newspapers would re-
frain from such publications. Until
happy medium can be found which will
permit the press to suppress such news
without hampering that freedom essen.
tial to enlightenment, it is probable that
the present condition will obtain. But
if an agreement could be reached where
by all the daily papers would be re-
strained from publishing criminal news
it is certain that the respectable ele-
ment of the press would gladly sub
scribe to it.

escape. The authority SO granted has
been stretched to give the political fa-
vorite here 500 year extra, another
$3.50, and SO on, running all the way
UP to $4,000 for men gifted with gen.
erous pull"
The partnership between the postal
employee and the senator and congress-
man was close The latter needed the
help of the local postmaster to keep
his seat. The former, no longer salts
fed with retaining his job, insisted
upon extra cash. So the congressman
yielded to the postmaster, and the de-
partment head yielded to the congress-
man, and money was thrown right and
left all over the country in small
amounts for alleged necessary expendf-
lures, but really as bride for political
work. ?
There is only one way to put stop
authority to make such arbitrary in
creases without warrant of law. Given
that privilege, abuses are impossible
to prevent or to correct. Allow any
body to add of his own motion to the
compensation of a public employe,
and sooner or later the weak man or
the dishonest man will come in and
coin the, privilege into graft. The COM
pensation of all postal employees should
be stringently regulated by law. The
salary in every case should be definite,
fixed and subject to increase by so
much as a penny only by direct statu-
tory change, or in accordance with a
fixed sliding scale apportioning pay
ment according to the population
served or the amount Of business
handled. If there is to be any honest
man left in the public service present.
ly, either in congress or out Of it, such
rule must be adopted and made in

A BAD SYSTEM.

One should not need the develop
ments disclosed by the Bristow inves-
tigation to know that the system in
vogue in the postofice department
would ramify into thousands of petty
abuses. There could be no more ideal
arrangement for the cultivation of in
dividual, official and political graft.
The practice is to give certain lati-
tude to department officials in making
extra. allowances to postmasters and
others for clerk hire and incidental ex-
penses. 1t looks like little chink, but
1t is big enough to allow the entire
contents of the national treasury to

KILLED IN A WILD
RIDE ON SNOWSLIDE
Lives of Twelve of the Fourteen Men
Are Strangely Saved.

BAKER CITY, Or, March 11.-H.
w. Holland and A. Cox were killed
and six men injured in snowslide at
the Queen of the West mine, in the
Cornucopia district, sixty miles north
east of here The slide RACED the shaft
building and bunk houses and swept
the occupants down almost to the bot
tom of the canyon, hundreds of feet
below The dead and injured were re-
covered with difficulty from the debris.
The mine is located in Bonanza
basin. The snow in the basin is from
ten to one hundred feet deep. Below
the mine the mountainside is less
steep than above and the slide lost its
momentum, to which fact is attribut-
ed the saving of the lives of twelve of
the fourteen who made the wild ride
on the top of the snow.

SILENCE IS CONFESSION.

The exposure made exclusively by
The Clio e yesterday of the inside
history of the prison contract deal was
the talk not only of the city but Of the
state. The securing Of this story of
matter of such tremendous public in
terest, and one that had been so care
fully hidden, was stroke of newspa-
per enterprise which has been appre-
ciated. Few who read the tale remain
ed unconvinced. There is nothing lack
ing 1t is so comprehensive, so minute
in its details, that not a doubt was left
in the minds of the thousands who
read T he Globe and among whom it
was the sole topic Of conversation.
1t is up to all whose skirts are
touched by this unsavory affair to clear
themselves. Mr.. Wolfer enters a gen
eral denial, as was to be expected. But
if his statement is true, he has been
grievously slandered and injured. If
what Mr.. Jordan has said is false, Mr..
Wolfer cannot, as an honest man, rest
content with bare denial AS public
official and as man he would naturally
seek such redress as is open to every
one whose innocence can be estab
lished. The people of Minnesota will
await with interest his further actions
in the matter.
The same rule applies to Mr.. Bron-
son. The statement made. by Mr.. Jor-
dan charges both of them plainly with
joint understanding and joint inter
est Mr.. Bronson is the contractor for
this labor He is also an officer of a
large financial institution. He cannot,
of course, fail to clear himself from
the imputation cast upon him if that
be unjust Something more than a
statement will be expected of him.
Upon the board of control rests the
duty of explaining it's strange course
in this matter. It is not charged with
improperly in connection with the let
ting of the contract, if the explanation
But it is charged with knowledge of all
that has now been impaired to the
public Of this it has made no sign.
It ordered no investigation.
Having been informed by reputable
gentleman that Warden Wo1fer had an
interest in the shoe company's bust
ness, by a gentleman in position to
know if this were true, it did not move;
and it has persistently refused all de-
mands to make public the statements
made at the interview by the gentle
man referred to. That is not course
consistent with it's dignity and the
honor of the state; not one that should
command confidence or shield it from
grave rebuke.
The parties implicated cannot re-
main quiescent Neither can they act
too quickly. The vague assertion that
statement of some sortswill be forth
coming some time viii be laughed to
seorn by the people. Innocence is not
wont thus to disport itself. Probably
the opinion of nine tenths of the pub
lie is already formed and fixed. If
there is not change in the attitude so
far maintained by these parties and
their obviously bewildered and dumb
founded spokesman, there will not be a
dissenting voice in the state Of Mime
sofa.
