HEATING The HOUSE

AT this period Of the year when the
question of when the janitor will turn
on the heat is of more Importance and
more frequently asked than the prob
able attitude of the voters towards
those gentlemen who have convinced
themselves that they have mission
to govern US, it is well to reckon little
with the problem of how to regulate
the heating of living rooms SO as to
minimize the dangers that 1inger in the
superheated or underheated apartment.
The object of the engineer. janitor
or family fireman is to transmit as
much heat to- the living room as will
satisfy the occupant of the apartment.
Having fired up" the responsibility of
the fireman ceased, but, unfortunately,
the intelligence of the tenant does not
then take on the responsibility neces-
sary to the preservation of his own
health. He worries until he sees the
thermometer registering 10 degrees and
then settles down to a sense of salts
faction that the temperature is right,
in spite of the too frequent protest Of
his body. He closes the windows; from
the register or radiator there is a veri-
table hot blast, yet the unhappy victim
of his own thoughtlessness is SILVER
ing. His vitality is reduced, he is not
able to stand the change from the dry
heat of his chamber to that of the
street, the pneumonia microbe settles
in his unresisting system, and, if he re-
covers, heagoes about telling his friends
that he cannot account for the attack
Yet the trouble is obvious enough. He
has been trying to live in an atmosphere
which has been absolutely dried arti-
ficially. The absence of humidity from
the air in which he lives made it i'm
possible that he could be comfortable
or healthy. He cannot but know that
air entirely free from humidity will
not sustain life, yet he goes on drying
the air in his abode by the diffusion of
heat until he collapses.
The best preventive of the disorders
that are more prevalent in the season
when we are dependent upon artificial
heat is to keep the atmosphere of the
living rooms moist. An open vessel
filed with fresh water in the artificial
ly heated room will save coal and doc
tors bills.

coNIRIRuTE YOUR MITE

If the work of the Associated Chart
ties during the coming year is ham
pered by lack of funds, a reflection will
be cast on the intelligence of st. Pa1ll
citizens. It is the duty of the man Or
woman who has help to offer to bestow
it on those who stand most in need of
that help. The value of an organiza-
ton like the Associated Charities lies
not SO much in the fact that it protects
the benevolently inclined as that it
protects, too, the needy. In every city
there are individuals who systematic
ally trade on the charitable impulses of
the irresponsible giver. The real vic
tins of these, however, are those who
need assistance. The giver is blessed
by the giving. no matter on whom his
aid is bestowed; butt frequently hap
pens that the recipient is cursed.
The fact, too, that the Associated
Charities is merely correlation of all
those societies that in various parts of
the city and under various denomina-
tional forms are working for the moral
redemption of those handicapped by
weakness or misfortune makes it some
thing more than philanthropic clear
ing house. 1t furnishes strength to the
weakest of these societies and expert
ence to those that have, as yet, merely
the impulse to aid. Moreover, its very
impersonality is soothing to those
whom misfortune has not robbed CT
self-respect, and this same imperson-
atty encourages the development of
self respect in those who might other
wise succumb to the humiliation Of
personal aims giving.
No one knows how much restitution
there will be in the city this winter. For
a city of its size, st. Paul has surpris-
ingly few cases of genuine poverty to
deal with. But there are poor here and
there will develop this winter, as there
have developed during other winters,
cases that demand instant and wise re-
lief. So the work of the Associated
Charities remains cut out for it. How
thoroughly it will be able to perform
that work depends altogether upon the
interest taken in it by the people of ST.
Paul.

Contemporary Comment
Facts About the Parks of ST. Paul

The pre4eht limits of the parks and
parkways Of st. Paul embrace 721 acres
| OF land in sparks, 351 acres of water in
| parks, III acres of land in parkways,
making total of acres in park and
| parkways of about 1.189. This exceeds
the land areas of parks in Minneapolis
| by LOG per cent. 1t is not likely that
there will be any considerable enlarge
ment of the park areas of st. Paul for
| years to come But if the hopes of
the board are realized the next few
years will witness a large extension OF
| the boulevard and parkway system.
! Its completion, as planned, will add
about twenty-seven miles to the five
and one half miles now comprised sin
the boulevard and parkways of ST.
Paul and over $50 acres to their area.
The total amount expended in the
! purchase of land for park purposes. al
most wholly from the proceeds of
bonds and other city obligations. UP to
the present time is $225,781.16. This is
aside from the moneys raised by as
sessment to pay the awards for land
! condemned, which amounts to $104,-
| S3l.01. Total expended for acquiring
| land, S330,612.17. During the same
| time there has been expended by the
| city county, previous to 1887, for the
| improvement and maintenance of parks
and parkways, for Improvements, $75,-
| 600; for maintenance, $1O,806.50 The
park board has expended. from 1887 to
| 1903, for Improvements, 416,926.49; for
maintenance and administration, 1921
| 1886, making a total expended for i'm
| provements and maintenance of $780,,
| 292.35, making an average of ISL, 1893 a
| year for improvements and mainte-
! nance in the sixteen years.
| The park commissioners of st. Paul
have for years stimulated public inter
est in the proper Improvement and or
namentation of its residence streets.
To this end they sought the co-opera
ton of the Civic league. First, to OBJ
| tain the general concurrence of prop
erty owners in the plan OF widening the
| street lawns and narrowing the road
ways. Second, to secure the passage of
! laws empowering the board to plant
and maintain trees and cut the grass
on street lawns Under these laws the
! cost of tree planting is not to exceed
| 121a cents per linear foot. or of cutting
grass 2 cents linear foot, and is as
sessed on the abutting property. AS a
result, the. grass on about two and one
| fourth miles on street lawn is now be-
| ing kept in trim condition by the park
! lawn mowers, at a cost of little over
| $4,000 year. The whole number of
trees planted by the park board since
the law was enacted in 1899 is $780,

New Industrial Dead Line

1t follows that such orders as these
(the circular of the Carnegie Steel
company instructing heads of depart
ments to employ for skilled work no
new men over thirty-five years, and
In other departments none over forty)
constitute one of two things: Either a
fatal blow at the mobility of labor and
the due and reasonable independence
of the individual in industry as against
associated capital; or a relegation of
men at maturity to idleness and de-
tendency. And they are orders ac-
cordingly which, in a general applica-
ton, will never be tolerated, but will
bring about the Intervention of the
public authority in one way or another.
For men at thirty-five or forty years
are usually in the full strength and
maturity of their powers and good for
continuing thus for ten or twenty or
more years, and there are altogether
too many of them-they form too large
a proportion of the working force of
Society--ever to submit to any general
industrial arrangement of this kind;
and in the task of overthrowing they
will have the help of the younger force
which will not care to be burdened
with the support of people who still
have twenty-or thirty years more of
good work left in them. The corpora :
lions mentioned are setting an example
which will raise a storm if generally

STILL FLYING KITES

Our Republican friends, being in sore
straits, are still watching portents in
the sky and sending. up pretty kites
with strings attached to see if the
electric current will pass down them.
An esteemed contemporary in COM
mon with many Republicans, is con-
WINGED that the election is lost unless
the result can be showed to be tied up
somehow with the fortunes of Sena-
tor Nelson.
1t first printed several amusing ar
ticles asserting that the election of
Johnson as governor was the first
move toward placing John Lind in
Senator Nelson's seat. Two trifing
obstacles to the validity of this pro-
gramme appeared. One is that Sena-
tor Nelson's seat is not in question. will
not be for some years to come and that
there are enough Republican legisla-
tive candidates in the whole state I'M
opposed to give the party a majority.
The other is that John Lind publicly
reiterates his announcement that he
will accept no Office, elective or ap-
pointive, local or national, under any
circumstances whatever. This tears
| one scarecrow into tatters.
Following the same line, we are in
formed that the Democratic party is
actually eriticising the politics of Sen
ator Nelson This is a shocking
| charge. That a Democrat should find
fault with a Republican or dispute his
title to any Office is political anomaly.
No Republican was ever known to take
that unreasonable attitude toward a
Democrat. We were under the impress
sion that Senator Nelson had been very
urgently advocating the claims of R.
c. Dunn, and the only criticism upon
him that we have seen has referred to
| that very unwise, impolitic and no
doubt distasteful attitude Of his. We
are inclined to think, however. that
| Senator Nelson viii continue, as an
active Republican, to berate Demo-
Gratis, and that Democrats will reply by
holding their own opinions as against
those of Mr.. Nelson. The attempt to
create, in the interest of Dunn, a diver
sion about a senatorial vacancy that
will not exist until after another cleo
ton has been held adds amusement to
the campaign but can scarcely have
any more serious effect upon sensible
men.

WILL OF POSTMASTER
GENERAL PAYNE
He Leaves an Estate Valued at Seven
Hundred Thousand Dollars

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 1.-THE
will of the late Postmaster General
Henry G. Payne was filed for probate
today. The estate, estimated in value
at $75O,000, of which 100000 is per-
sonalty and 100000 real estate, is left
in trust to Frank G. Bigelow and
George P. Miller, of Milwaukee as ex-
ecutors. In addition to household
goods, horses, carriages, ETC., an an
nuity of $500 is provided for Mrs.
Lydia w. Payne, wife of the testator,
during the settlement of the estate.
Other annuities for a like period are
provided. The principal provision OF
the document reads:
AT the expiration of three years
from the settlement of my estate, [
direct my said trustees and their sur
vivors or survivor, or their successors
in trust, to convey and assign to my
said wife, should she be living, so per
cent of said estate then in their hands,
or, in case of her death, to such per-
sons as may be entitled to the same
under her will. At the expiration of
three years from the settlement of my
estate, to convey and assign to my
said sister, % per cent, but before said
share is conveyed to my sister l direct
my trustees to pay to Miss Margaret
Jones $1,000, provided the trustees are
of the opinion that my estate then in
their hands before such division, in
Guiding said so per cent or any part
thereof heretofore paid to my wife, is
worth $150,000, and if in their opinion
worth less, then said sum to be paid to
Miss Margaret Jones shall be reduced
proportionately.
my trustees. after such divisions,
are directed to hold the residue of said
estate then in their hands and to pay
the net income thereof to my wife so
long as she may live, and upon her
death to pay the whole or principal
thereof to my sister, Mrs. Imogene P.
Cameron, should she survive my said
wife, otherwise to her son. Winfield
Henry Cameron, provided further, that
out of said net income there shall be
secured and paid to Miss Dian S.
Bowen an annuity of 5000 per annum.
and, should she survive my said wife,
then 1 direct my trustees to set aside
$4,000 and to hold the same for the
benefit of said Miss Diana S. Bowen in
trust ="

as all of them come to understand that

as all of them come to understand that
they at least have chance.
Worse than the number is the
ground on which they base their APP
peals. Judge Start was stirred by one
of these applications, which, as he
said, bordered closely on the gro
tesque 1t asked for pardon for a
reason which the jury before which
the convict was tried was competent,
and alone competent, to pass upon and
had passed upon. If such rule were to
prevail, the courts might just as well
abandon business and leave the deter
mination of all criminal affairs to the
board of pardons.
There is no standing still in this
business. Either the process of grant
ing pardon will be more vigorously
limited and the number of them cut
down, or it will be increased until the
gates are practically open and pardons
to be had for the asking. The difficult
ties of the situation do not grow out of
anybedy's carelessness or Indifference
to duty, but out the plain facts of the
case and certain tendencies of human
nature. The board of pardons itself
not the members of it but the institu-
ton as at present constituted all
wrong. There should be no such par
doning power lodged anywhere.
The legislature should take up this
subject very seriously, doing away
with the pardoning power altogether
as at present defined, restricting it Sc
vefely to those cases in which new evil
dence tending to show the innocence of
the convict has been addueed, and then
arranging not for release but for a
review and rehearing of the testimony.
Let US have done with what has be-
come, in spite Of the best intentions of
the board of pardons, an abuse and
what would become, with the best
board of pardons in the world, eventu-
ally a scandal
