who have been blinded by the preten-
sions of the national party. and show
ing them that in the nation as in the
state their only security and their high
est duty lie in support Of the Demo-
cratic ticket. There are Roosevelt
and Johnson clubs forming in Mime
sofa, but they include no Democrats
in their membership. This is a year
when every Democrat will vote the
straight ticket, when he can do SO with
pride and enthusiasm, and when he is
likely to find on either shoulder at the
polls enough Republicans doing the
same thing to place Minnesota in the
Democratic column on national as well
as state issues.

COMING INTO THEIR OWN

Little men, as class, are BIT in
clined to allow their small chests to
protrude these days. The little brown
men of Japan have inspired them to
swagger. Now comes the president of
the civil service commission of Chicago
with proposition that the height and
weight limit be taken off and men of
small stature accepted for appointment
to the police force
That ought to hold the little man.
After all these years of striving to hold
his own by pitting his brain against
the Drawn of the big fellow he is told
that an attempt will be made to put
him in the policeman class. It is
enough to start every man under five
feet three to hoping the Russians will
finish up by whipping the Japs.
AS a matter of fact the pre- emption
Of the fighting job by the big man has
been brought about more by the indif-
ference of the little man to that sort OF
work than because Of any pre- eminent
fitness on the part of the man of inch
es. Little men, when they have es-
sayed the fighting job, have generally
made good work of it. They have not
been excluded from place on the police
force on account of their inability to
maintain the prowess of the force, but
because the big fellows look better on
dress parade. Your policeman pre-
serves the peace-he is not often called
upon to restore it-and a policeman
six and half feet high who is Sc
built that he can take off his shirt
without unbuttoning his collar is much
more effective in restraining the un-
thinking and unruly than little man
would be even though the small chap
could whip the weight of T. Roosevelt,
in Wildcats. The sixfooter is not like
ly to be more valiant than the FIVE
footer, but he presents the front. and
so far as his efficiency is concerned
he would be just as potent if he had nc
back whatever. SO that the mob did not
know it.
If the victories of the little brown
men accomplish no more for their small
fellows than to entitle them to con-
sideration for place on the police force
the Japs will have done but little fol
their kind. The men Of this country
who are small of stature will continue
to exploit the prize ring and those
other arenas in which strenuosity is
rewarded in proportion to the knock
outs.

Contemporary Comment
Time for Hard Hlttinu

Mr.. Pulitzer's indirect appeal to
Judge Parker to be "eyen more than
heretofore the peoples leader and
teacher. their tribune and advocate"
is by all odds the most interesting re-
suit of the conference. of Democratic
editors. Undoubtedly this voices
growing sentiment among the sup
porters of Mr.. Parker. The absence of
strong leadership at the national head
quarters Is obvious; the candidate
suffers from the proper judicial re-
serve which he has maintained since
he joined the court of appeals The
hour has now come for winged words
and hard hitting for which the gold
telegram showed the way so well. A
friend and follower of Tilden and
Cleveland, Mr. Parker may be trusted
to know the value Of that courage and
frankness of which he has already
given proof. But he may well take
Mr.. Pulitzer's advice to brush aside
the politicians and put by the habit Of
judicial reserve in favor Of the ag-
gressiye methods of the candidate.
That the thinking people of this coun-
try will respond just as they applaud
ed the ringing note of the gold mes
sage is beyond doubt.-New York

TAKING HOLD RIGHT

1t is pleasing experience for st.
Paul to have city council that takes
hold with vim Of questions relating to
the street railway company's interests.
The passage of the ordinance requiring
five minute service on the union
depot loop appeared to leave the repre-
sentative of the company dazed, so
strangely does that corporation expect
to find all the wheels Of legislation
stopped when it puts little block Of
an objection under them. It has been
clearly demonstrated that better
service on this line would be as much
to the advantage of the company as to
that of the public. 1t would have been
better to enforce two or three minute
service than.a five minute, but the new
rule will be an immense accommoda-
ton to all the travelling public
The same disposition appears with
regard to the proposed ordinances reg
ulating the points at which the street
cars shall stop, to avoid danger of col
lision between them and the apparatus
of the fire department. It is amazing
that any disagreement whatever should
arise over this. Several horrible casu-
alties In the past have pointed the
| moral by demonstrating in a most
cruel way the imminence of the danger.
The trouble is that we have got so ac-
| customed in this city to permitting the
street cars to run at whatever rates of
speed they may think suited to their
convenience as to make all other rights
subordinate. The trouble with the
company seems to be that this free
hand has blinded its eyes to a sense of
its own interests. The city authorities
are not concerned with the number or
amount of damage suits that may be
brought against the company. It is its
lookout to see that there is no occa-
sion for damage suits. 1t should be it's
policy so to operate its line that these
would be reduced to a minimizing and
particularly that the fire department
should have free play and not be ex-
posed to any other dangers than those
incident to the performance of its reg
ular duties.
| We do not know of any disposition
in any quarter to impose unreason-
able restriction or work hardship upon
the street railway company. If such
came to our notice we should distinct
ly and emphatically rebuke it. We
have long recognized the need of re-
quiring the company to respect public
rights and to conform to reasonable

McvEY ON ECONOMICS

Among the fall announcements made
by the publishers of books is one that
must arouse the keenest anxiety in the
mind of every ST. Paul citizen. Mcvey,
the great McVey, he Of the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica, has once more taken
his pen i'm hand. A book that he has
written on economics is to appear this
autumn. AS Kuropatkin would tele-
phone home If he dared. eThe worst is
feared"
1t is not that any st. Paul citizen
doubts Mcveys ability to deal with
any phase of economics. His immortal
essay on st. Paul, which all may read
who open certain volume of the
Britannica, must forever be regarded
as evidence of his genius for economy.
We doubt if any of his contemporaries
nay, even a Minneapolis contempt
rary-could expend so little truth in
filing with printed words given
space.
What the ST. Paul citizen has to fear
in this latest book of his is that he will
economic again at the expense of st.
Paul. Just why Prof. McVey harbors
in his bosom an unfriendly feeling for
the capital of Minnesota has never. we
believe, been explained to the Com
mercial clubs satisfaction. That he
does harbor such feeling, the Ency-
| clopedia Britannica offers mute testi-
| mony, and the professor himself has
never denied the charge The contents
of the new book, therefore, become of
| the greatest importance.
To be sure the light of this city was
| not snuffed out by an article and there
is not the slightest danger that it will
be snuffed out by a book. Neverthe-
be allowed. to juggle with facts? Why
should he be permitted to mislead with
impunity the young and the ignorant?
This city cannot afford to overlook it's
responsibility in the matter. McVey's
publishers should be enjoined from
putting the book on the market until
it is ascertained whether or not the
author attempts in it to describe st.
Paul. ,s5s. .
Yet this city would not disparage
Prof. MeVey's ability as an magma
| tive writer. Mary Johnston is not his
superior, Anthony Hope is not quite SO
good. 1t only desires that he shall not
| use his Imagination at its expense. If
he has done this in his new work on
Economics, 1t will be the last straw.
Let him take warning.

LESSONS FROM LIFE


In the obviousness of its moral the
daily newspaper has the severest vol
ume in the Sunday school library sadly
beaten. There is not column on the
telegraphic or local page of metro
politan daily that does not impress the
reader with the grim truth of that hui
mainly old decree-the wages of sin is
death. And because it merely reflects
life, the moral of the newspaper. strikes
home more sharply than the most elab-
orately pointed moral of any story book.
For 1t is a moral drawn not by a dog
matician, but by the eternal verities
that have governed the destinies of man
ever since the time when, in his 1reless
cave, he dreamed 'his first dim dream
of God.'
Within the week, on the local pages
Of the ST. Paul newspapers, have been
printed stories the moral of which has
been so obvious that it would be super
fiuous to draw 1t afresh. Those who
ran might have read the lesson-one of
life's grimmest and most inexorable
The stories refute absolutely, If any
refutation were necessary, the phari-
saical charge SO frequently brought
against the newspaper that it is i'm
moral Unless life itself is immoral,
the daily newspaper that publishes the
news as it receives it over the wire
from every part of the world and from
the men who are sent out into the city
to garner it, is the most moral publica-
ton in the world.
For it is the business of the news
paper to record the wages that are
ilization imposed penalty that it re-
cords, either. The old Greek dramatists
believed that some mysterious power
from without controlled the destiny Of
men, but the great Elizabethan dis
played a more profound wisdom when
he placed the power in each individual.
This is the lesson that life and the
newspapers teach; that every outrage
of the moral instinct which 1t has taken
untold centuries to~develop exacts a
penalty, and that the more. advanced
civilization becomes the more severe
becomes the penalty. For it is pro-
| nounced by the sinner himself and is
in proportion to the development of his
intelligence.

THE TIBETAN TREATY

Great Britain has been speaking soft
~ and carrying a big stick to some
purpose in Tibet. Having commits
stoned a gentleman adventurer in the
person of Col. Younghusband to do the
best he could in Tibet our cousins over
the way have reaped some results.
1t is outrageous that in this year of
grace an fnoffensive people should be
cowed into turning over to an alien
race the control of all the profitable
franchises belonging inherently to the
people, but Great Britain has, with the
strong hand, gone into Tibet and forced
the government to sign a treaty"
whereby all the agencies of civilization
are to be vested in the representatives
of the British. Under the treaty which
Younghusband has forced the Tibetans
to sign no railway, telegraph or tele-
phone line may be built by the natives
without the consent of the British
which means that Englishmen will take
on the franchises. incidentally the
treaty provides that an indemnity in
the sum of $2,500,O0O shall be paid to
Great Britain.
1t does not appear what the indem-
nifty is to be paid for. The Tibetans
were going along in their own unciv-
ilized way doing the best they could
and living according to their lights.
Missionaries they excluded. The forces
Of civilization did not appeal to them.
They were pitiably poor and are now
poorer. But because they occupied a
frontier country of strategical value
the British coveted their possessions.
Younghusband was sent out, as much
freebooter as ever a one that sailed
the Spanish main in the seventeenth
century, with Instructions to get a
franchise to run the country. He has
done just what he was sent out to do
and has, apparently, collected expenses
in the form of an indemnity.
:. This latter-day piracy is likely to go
unheeded by the nations except that 1t
will give countenanee to the imperial
istic idea that prevails in Washington. If
robber nation is to be permitted with
out interference. and with the strong
hand. to seize a country like Tibet,
why may not the proposition that
might is right be carried to logical
conclusion and the weaker nations of
the earth be made tributary to the
stronger?

THE ExPATRlATES

Another wealthy American an
nounces that he is Disguised with the
manners of this country and will join
the small minority of his countrymen
who have sought relief on the other
side. He does not specify his grew
ances and nobody seems to have evinc-
ed sufficient interest in his determine
ton to ask him what these are, but we
surmise that the principal one is that
this country refuses to take him as Sc
riously as he takes himself. This was
William Waldorf Astor's complaint.
But this latest individual to yolun-
tarily expatriate himself might learn
a lesson, we should think. from the
fate of his model, Mr.. Astor.
For If America did not take this lat
ter gentleman seriously, England has
taken him too seriously, and if Mr.. AS
tor could be induced to confess, the
American public would probably learn
that he stepped from the frying pan
into the fire, to use 8. homely saying,
when he left his country for his
country's good. Although it likes to
poke a little fun at it's gentlemen of
leisure the United States looks upon
their idiosyncrasies with kindly eye.
The country laughs at their pretensions,
but does not punish their mistakes.
But since taking up his residence
sorrow that social mistakes in Eng
land are not trifles. Instead of gentle
raillery, his unfortunate peculiarities
have been sharply rebuked by the ar
biters OF society over there. He has
the misfortune, apparently, always to
do the wrong thing at the wrong time
and for this he has been made to
suffer.
The man who cannot get along well
in his own country cannot get along
very well in any country. William
Waldorf Astor has freshly demonstrate
ed the truth of this and we have nc
doubt that the man who is about to
follow his example will also demon
strate it. There are certain individuals
| in every walk Of life with whom it is
impossible for anybody to get along
The American expatriates belong in
| this class, and since they are the chief
victims of their unfortunate disposi-
lions they are more to be pitied than
censured.

The Fiaht for the House


The warning issued by Congressman
Babcock, chairman of the Republican
congressional campaign committee, has
called renewed attention to the i'm
pending contest for the control Of the
house of representatives. Good judges
of political contests-if there be such
a thing as a good judge Of a contest
still to be determined-all agree that
the house of representatives is in
doubt. Not much heed need be given
to Babcoeks appeal to Republicans to
wake up, lest they lose the house
through apathy. Babcock is in the
habit of putting out storm signals for
effect. He lives in Wisconsin, and his
constituents are dissatisfied with his
ambiguous and cowardly course in the
last, congress. He is the man who cried
out to heaven to witness that the Ding
ley tariff, especially, the schedules on
iron and steel, were pure robbery and
theft; he introduced bill to curb the
trusts, and then, when the pressure
was brought to bear by that great
juggernaut, the tariff interest, he
weakly swallowed his brave words and
"stood Philadelphia Ledger.

ANOTHER KING is BORN

The gossips of Rome and the pro-
vineial cities of Italy are busy with the
dream books because child has been
born to King Victor Emmanuel and his
spouse and the shadow of the crown
lies across the path of the infant. Al
ready an augury of good is evolved for
crowned heads because Russia and
Italy have at the same time been bless
ed with heirs apparent. But the au-
curry Is overcast by the attitude Of the
parents of the heir of Italy's crown at
least. He is not to be called king Of
Rome.
The crown is not too firmly fixed
upon the brow of Victor Emmanuel.
Standing at the head of nation that
is lacking in solidarity, he knows the
temper of the subject peoples who were
but a few years ago free in the sense
that they exploited governments OF
their own. He is in hopes of rap
prochement with the Vatican, and to
call the heir Prince of Rome must nee
essarily give offense to those Romans
who are affected to the church gov
ernment- and they are many. To call
the heir by the traditional title =
borne by King Humbert-as Prince OF
Naples would be to suggest to the
Neapolitans the day of their independ-
ence. Hence there is revived for the
heir the designation of Prince of Pied
mont. And sop is offered to divided
nation.
The outer world. having no direct In
terest in the royal house of Italy vii
rejoice in mild way that an heir has
been born to the throne built by the
elder Victor Emmanuel with the I'M
conscious -and perhaps unwilling aie
