THOROUGHLY ANSWERED

The Glob republishes in its news
/ columns this morning an article from
the Svenska Folkets Tidning in reply
to a series of violent charges against it
4 made by the Pioneer Press, and Sc
ries of publications in that paper tend
ing for some mysterious reason to
make the race issue paramount in this
campaign. TIL e Glob e has no share
whatever in this controversy; but in
asmuch as the answer of the Tidning is
not likely to find place in the same
columns where the charges appeared,
we think it mere fairness to lay them
before our readers.
| contemporary with having misrepre-
sented it in several particulars. First,
1 it puts itself on record as having been
opposed first, last and all the time to
the nomination of r. c. Dunn. Second,
| the Folkets Tidning declares itself un-
reserHedly supporter Of Senator Mel
son, and cuts away the whole fabric
of assumption that opposition to Dunn
| is hostility to Nelson or could in any
wise jeopardize his interests. Third.
| the F'olkets Tidning disavows respon-
/ sibifity for utterances contained in let
| ters written to the editor and publish
ed in its columns.
This, of course, is the plain right Of
every newspaper; claimed by all OF
! them, the Pioneer Press included, and
| allowed by their readers. Newspapers
that publish communications from cor
respondents do not dream of indorsing
the opinions expressed. More fire.
quently, indeed. they are directly op-
posed to the beliefs or policy of the
| newspaper in which they appear and
are replied to in its editorial columns.
! This is SO universally rule Of jour-
nalism that it hardly needs statement.
The article republished ends with a
/ statement of the reasons of the Folkets
Tidning for supporting John A. john
son. These reasons are tersely and
vigorously expressed, and are such as
have had sufficient weight with tens of
thousands of -Repuhlieans in the state
to turn them away from Mr.. Dunn and
make them determine irrevocably to
vote for Mr.. Johnson. We are pleased
to give this matter the widest pub
licity, and thankful to the Pioneer
Press for having afforded an oppertu-
nifty to set it before the people.

Railroaders Declare Wisconsin
Central Plan Is Reasonable

The report of the sale of the Wis
censin Central to the Grand Trunk Pa
cffic system as a part of proposed
Winnipeg Chicago link in the road was
generally discussed in local railroad
circles yesterday.
Nothing of confirmatery nature
was received from the East, save the
fact that the stock of the Wisconsin
Central was active again in Wall
street.
The opinion of well informed rail-
road men was that the plan is feasible

SOME CHARTER AMENDMENTS


For the sake Of elearness, T e
Globe has not discussed the charter
amendments as whole, because they
include interests so many and diverse,
but considers them seriatim. 1t has
had something to say, and will have
something further to add, upon the free
text book amendment. It sets forth in
a news article elsewhere the practical
facts relative to three other amend
increase the resources and admit Of
larger expenditures in the conduct Of
the police and fire departments and in
caring for our streets.
1t is proposed to permit an enlarge
ment of expense for the fire depart
ment to the maximum Of $245, 900 in
any one year. The total expense for
the police department is to be extended
to the limit of $214,000 per year. For
the care Of streets, sewers and side
walks a limit OF 100000 is fixed. In
all these cases any unexpended bal
ance carried over from one year to an
other may be used for the needs of the
department to whose credit they stand
This means a total addition of 5000
to the amounts which these three de-
partments are now permitted under
the charter. to S.aa9,d Il xyaorlz, ia ,r-o,,l 4
mean total addition of about Ito
mills, it is estimated, to the tax rate.
Now the approval or rejection of
these amendments must be governed
by two considerations; and what the
people decide viii depend upon which
of these two they hold to have the su-
perior claim. On one side stand the
admitted needs of the city. The sums
mentioned are not one dollar more than
are needed for the best administration
Of municipal affairs in st. Paul. The
fire department, the police department
and the street department are all short
of funds for the performance of the
duties resting upon them, even in the
most economical fashion. That the
money can be laid out for the public
benefit and that it will be judiciously
and honestly expended under the pres
ent city government may be taken as
absolutely assured
AS far as the increase for the fire
department is concerned, there is a
special argument to be urged in its
favor. An insufficient fire protection is
reflected in high rates, and their re-
duction is dependent upon affordins
greater security to property. There is
positive and definite assurance given
at this time by leading insurance men
that if the necessary additions to our
fire protection are made there viii be a
lowering of the rate in the business
district. This is the section where IA
cilities for fighting fire are now most
deficient. 1t is the section that pays
the heaviest taxes. It is the section
that carries the heaviest insurance
policies. It. therefore, is particularly
concerned and would receive back in
diminished insurance premiums part
at least of whatever it might have to
pay in added taxes. This argument is
so strong that We believe the amend
ment regarding the ire department
will be certainly carried.
We do not mean by this to disparage
the other propositions If ever there
was police department that Neserved

TIE OYSTER BAY MelLANTEs

News, comes from Oyster Bay that
the citizens of that celebrated retreat
are forming a vigilance committee, the
object being to rid the place Of pestif-
erous characters who live by preying
on the community out of season.
Herein is demonstrated the extent to
which the teachings and example of
him who adjured his fellows to speak
softly and carry a big stick have been
effective in the charming village to
which the chief magistrate of this mil
liant Union betakes himself when
Washington gets too hot for him.
Oyster Bay is about as big as a
suburb of Mamaroneck, N. Y, and ap-
proximately as tough as Esopus. Be
fore it was given to the Oyster Bayite
to look upon greatness he was wont to
go in bathing in a state of nature and
fish for oysters, with his toes. With a
pint of hard cider he could get on a
debauch that would be the talk of the
village until the next oyster season
opened. He had neither wealth nor
any of the desires that come from get
ting on in a worldly way. He lived by
truck and oysters and he died in his
bed of old age.
One day a great man arrived and
Oyster Bay put on a bathing suit and
went to the bad. Then somebody
taught oyster Bay to read and OBJ
serve, and. since then the native has
thrived by various and devious ways,
being principally occupied with the
trimming of tourists who came to look
on Greatness in its Humble Home.
Sitting at the gate of the strenuously
great, Oyster Bay put aside its primi-
tive manners and ideas and came to
understand that this world was a field
to be exploited; that a man must be
up and doing his neighber if he would
avoid being done. Its growing pros
perity has now attracted the attention
of the predatory class from outside,
and two desperate thugs from the
neighbori1g town Of New York have
been trying to take away from the
Oyster Bayites the, wealth they ac-
1t may he that the thugs are merely
unhappy individuals who were trim
med at Oyster Bay when the natives
had their innings last summer. In
any event a house has been burglarized
and a man held up.
In this desperate state of affairs
Oyster Bay has done what it believes
its most distinguished citizen would do
under similar circumstances: It has
tucked its pants into its boots, strap
ped on its gun, held a meeting at the
village tavern and organized vigi-
lance committee. Evildoers have been
invited to get out or submit to being
hanged without the benefit of even the
local clergy.
Oyster Bay has been taking the
teachings of its most distinguished cit
izen toe literally, Most of us under
stand that he should be taken in the
Pickwickian sense very generally. We
come to understand this by observing
as well as reading. But the present
warlike attitude of oyster Bay goes to
show that it is not desirable TO feed
brandy, intended for heroines only, to
babes. In politics the Oyster Bayite is
a babe who, imbibing at the fountain
head of the waters of strenuosity, has
gone bit daft. The fact should stand
as a warning to others of the literal
sort.
What oyster Bay needs is not Wig
ilance committee but policeman.
