have taken the matter up, giving

STERNE once said that, ."The
desire of knowledge, like the
thirst for riches, increases ever
with it's acquisition" We all know
this to be true. The man who in
vests his spare time in the acquisi-
ton of knowledge, not only cult
Yates desire for more, but is &C.
cumulating capital with which to
buy claim on success. Most of
the good things nowadays are
nailed down tight, but education
is lying around loose the world
over.
We can learn great deal by
reading the newspapers. In fact,
[ believe that every young man
should early begin the habit of
newspaper reading. But he should
eliminate the yellow journals and
such papers as will cause his men,
tai and moral standards to degen-
crate. Through the newspapers
he gets general education, such
as he can obtain from no other
sources. In addition, he should
read regularly one or two mags-
zines devoted to a discussion OF
questions of public interest. A
little good fiction, as we'll as gen.
eral history and literature, should
also have place on the program.
And the way of obtaining knowl-
edge is to cultivate the acquaint-
ance of broad-minded men, those
who can always tell us something
worth knowing. They help US to
see our own failings, broaden on,
| views and enable us to keep out OF
the rut. To be on the constant
lookout for knowledge leads to
capability, efficiency, ambition
and temperance in all things.
These are qualities that we look
for in a useful man. When we
find men who are willing to devote
their spare time to self-improve-
ment, we should encourage them
in every way possible. They should
be shown that their efforts are
appreciated and genuine interest
should be manifested in their prog
ress. By helping them we make
| it plain to the less progressive that
work and study bring their own

THINK SMITH WILL
HAVE $500 MAJORITY
Conservative Democrats Predict the
Overwhelming Defeat of Wright.

The campaign has gotten to a stage
where the wise ones are beginning to
speculate on majoritieS.
A conservative Democratic prophecy
is that Mayor Robert A. Smith will
have not less than $500 majority over
Col. Frederick P. Wright at the cleo
ton, and those who believe that Mayor
Smith Is going to make a phenomenal
run argue that his big vote will land
practically every Democratic candi-
date for the assembly in office.
P. J. Metzdorf, the popular county
treasurer of Ramsey county, is one of
the best posted politicians in the city
and he is confident that Mayor Smith
will bury Col Wright under an ava
lanche of votes.
II look to see Smith get such a vote,''
he said yesterday, "as will elect surely
six Democrats to the assembly and
probably the entire nine. The cam
paign has degenerated simply into a
series of ward fights, and the Repub-
lican leaders have apparently aban-
doned everything but the fight for
tests where there is a chance for them
to win. I expect from the signs of the
times to see Mayor Smith win out by
tremendous majority"
In the cigar stores lists of probable
winners are being made out by scores
of men and deposited with the propri-
etors, the ones having the greatest
number of correct guesses to win the
| cigars from their friends making other
lists, and in almost every instance
! Mayor Smith and nearly the entire as
| sembly ticket are included as among
| the sure thing winners.

DEMOCRATIC LOVE
FEAST IN THIRD WARD
Organization BestoWs Special Praise
on Aid. DahIquist for His Services

The Third ward Democratic organi-
cation last night unanimously APP
proved the appointment of a committee
to draft resolutions indorsing Andrew
]. Dahlquist for his services in the
council, and Aid. Dahlquist pledged
himself to the entire Democratic ticket,
including Frank J. He'll, the Demo-
cratic candidate to succeed him in the
council. 1t was veritable love feast
in the Third, and settles any doubt of
HebFs election in the ward.
The meeting named its challengers
for service on election day, and then
a motion was made that committee
of three be named to draw resolutions
properly expressing appreciation of
Aid. Dah1quists services in the coun-
Gil. The motion was carried unani-
mously by a rising vote. Aid. Dahl
quist expressed in a neat little speech
his gratitude at the Endorsement, and
declared that he was for the entire
Democratic ticket, including the man
who is a candidate for his seat in the
council.
Mr.. He'll spoke briefly, accepting the
proffered support, and other brief talks
were made. Aid. Dahlquist came in
for hearty special praise for his work
in securing the city market for the
Third ward.

WELLS EXPECTS
TOBE CHIEF OF POLICE
Indications Point to His Selection
Should Wright Be Elected Mayor.

Indications point, in the event of the
election Of Col. Wright, to the appoint
ment of George w. Wells as chief of
police.
Wells has told number Of his
friends that he is slated for Chief
O'Connor's star If his friend and en-
ployer, Col. Wright, wins out May 8,
and has indicated number of the old
est and best men of the present police
force whom he will see are promptly
fired" when he is chief Patrolman
Costello and Patrolman William H.
Gavin are already on his list for de-
capitation once Wells is empowered
to do the cutting off of heads.
50. Wells was a member of the force
some years ago and retired under a
cloud remarkable for it's blackness.
Since that time he has been persistent
1y trying to reinstate himself. He was
repudiated as candidate for consta-
BILE by his party at the primaries, but
later became connected as a detective
with the Republican city committee
and worked up the alleged evidence
on which DR.. Boyle based his sermon.
His affiliations would lend color to his
claim that he is slated for chief of the
department provided Col. Wright is
elected.

Young says he has taken no part in

not think that the result on the head
of the ticket will influence his chances
materially. He has confined his fight
to the nomination for attorney general.

SCHOOL FACILITIES
VASTLY IMPROVED
City Cares fer d, 400 More Chill.
dren in Schools Than Under
Klefer Administration.

Despite the unanswerabIe figures
from the records Of the board of school
inspectors, Republican campaignerS
| continue to dispute the facts in refer
ence to the vast improvement in the
city schools and the increased accom-
modations given the, children of the
city under Democratic administrations.
AS compared to the last year of a
Republican administration-1S9s
admissions to the city schools have in
creased approximately 1000; the 1000
children permitted only halliday at
tendance or housed in annexes and
rooms unsuited for the purpose have
been reduced to about 1900, and ST.
Paul is, in effect, caring for 400 more
children in It's schools than under the
prosperous days of Col Kiefer and his
administration.
1t has naturally cost money to effect
such vast Improvement in the school
Facilities of st. Paul, but in all their
speeches Democratic speakers glory in
| the record of their party in having Civ
en- to nearly every child of ST. Paul an
opportunity for good common school
education. They insist that the money
has been well spent, but, of course, ad-
init that a considerable portion of the
increase in taxes is to be charged to
the improved school facilities.
In 1899 the total expenses of the ST.
Paul schools under the Kiefer admin
istration were $428,643.13, of which
1884 94.S3 went for teachers salaries,
36,662.72 for engineers and janitors,
| and $1O,376.46 for mechanics and labor
ers. The item of repairs cost $13,063.37,
but not single dollar is charged to the
building fund
Pupils Health Menaced.
Under that administration it is esti-
mated by the school authorities that
fully 1000 children were compelled to
attend only halliday sessions or were
housed in vacant stores; butcher shops,
bakeries and rooms wholly unsuited for
their accommodation. Many rooms,
originally designed for classes in Ger
man-and which were for small classes
were utilized as general class rooms,
and the pupils health and the general
efficiency of the schools naturally suf-
fered under the restricted accOmmoda-
tions.
Last year-19O3-the administration
of the st. Paul school system cost
$604,438, of which, of course, the larg-
est sum went for teachers salaries,
for this item aggregated SAL, 872.66.
There was, naturally, with the opera
ton Of 1O4 new rooms over the number
uuI1IS TIE Meter duIIl1inSlfdltoL, al
increased expenditure all along the line,
but 1t is no more than is to be expected
when 4, 400 more pupils were given an
opportunity for an education.
The board Of school inspectors last
year expended $109, 639.61 for new
buildings, bringing the total of school
expenditures up to $714,077.61 for the
year, but it is not believed that any Re-
publican will dare to dispute the figures
nor to declare in favor of a reduced
efficiency of the st. Paul schools.
