CORRELATED CHARITIES

There are philanthropies that are
luxuries. like the Carnegie benefac-
tions, ard there are others, like the
Phipps plan for model tenements, for
instance, that may be viewed in the
light of necessities because they supply
an insistent demand. In the latter
class belongs the million dollar be-
quest of a Denver multimillionaire.
Dying, he left this much money to be
devoted to the erection of comfortable
but modest homes, which when COM
pleted are to be sold on easy terms to
| those DESTROYS of owning their own
| dwellings.
The citizen who owns the deed to the
house in which is established his
lares and penates is a safe" citizen
in many senses of the word. He is not
apt to be Indifferent to the interests of
ests furthers his own as a householder.
He is less inclined to hold himself aloof
from all that makes for civic advance
ment than he would be had he no prop
erty to depreciate in value through the
city's dwindling reputation as an at
tractive abode for homemakers. More
over, the independence it gives him in
creases his self-respect, while the pride
of ownership supplies the SOLDERING bal
auoa of racDopcibiIitx
Unfortunately the small land holder
is rapidly disappearing from the larger
cities, even from the growing cities of
the west and middle west. The aver
age citizen appears to prefer the COM
paratively irresponsible life of the fat
dweller. and the money he might put
in home he invests in something that
promises a quick increase of his bank
account. The financial gain, however,
does not begin to compensate for the
real loss that both he and the city sus-
tain through this unsubstantial method
of ordering his life.
All philanthropies that aim to i'm
prove the home life of the people are
closely related. A scheme for model
tenements when carried through sue
cessfully is bound to prove of meal
culable benefit, not only to the city in
which they are built, but to the whole
country. But equally valuable is such
a philanthropy as that planned by the
Denver northumberland, for it will i'm
prove the home life of people who rep
resent, to be sure, a higher class than
the tenement jewellers, but one that
just as certainly needs it's ambition

What the Editors Say

The lesson Democrats should learn
from the Chicago election is that the
people will turn to Democracy if it has
the courage to stand for a definite
positive, progressive policy looking to-
ward the abolition OF long standing
abuses. Another lesson that people
generally could learn, if they would, is
that the Republican papers by some tie
or other are all on the side of corporate
monopoly. as their comments on this
election show. This is true of even
the wishy washy so-called independent
Republican papers.-Aberdeen Demo-
crat.
So long as the people let others do
their thinking in politics, so long as
they honor strange men and neglect
their true friends at the polls, so long
will the CRATER in business and politics
flourish. The worship of money is the
curse of business and petty strife and
jealousy degrades politics.-Annandale
Advocate.

Men Wanted as Witnesses Again Beef
Trust Grow Fond of Canada

CHICAGO. April 12.-E. B. Fish, an
employe of SchwarzschiId & Sulzberger,
was the principal witness in the beef
trust investigation this afternoon. 1t
was rumored, but not verified, that his
testimony related to the disappearance
of seven persons who are wanted as
witnesses in the investigation, and who
are said to have gone to Canada at
the commencement of the proceedings.
Secret service operatives are said to
be making an effort to find a mysteri-
Gus trunk, alleged to be missing and
wanted in connection with the investi-
cation. Six other trunks of a num-
bered series have been seized, but fed
eral officials fear that unless the sew
enth is recovered valuable informa-
ton may be lost. Government officers
are seeking officials of the Aetna Trad
ing company. who, ii is said, may be
able to tell the grand jury the mean
ing of every item contained in the
books and papers found in the trunks.
The information sought is in relation
to alleged plans practiced to raise the
price of sausage castings. When the
officials of the company learned that
an investigation was on their offices
were closed. Henry G. Godfrey, said
to have been secretary and treasurer,
was traced from Chicago to Toronto,
Cam. where all trace of him was lost.
He is said to have been travelling in
possession of twenty trunks.

THE COUNTY ROADS

We shall watch with interested con-
Germ the work of the county board in
improving the main roads leading to
St Paul from the country districts. In
no one public work are the people of
this city more vitality interested just
now than in the proper Improvement
of these roads, and it will be a source
of real qualification to the men who
have interested themselves to amplify
the resources of the county commits
sioners to contemplate the fact that
the county board is to be provided with
adequate funds for the beginning of
this necessary work.
/ TIL e Globe has been compelled
in the past to criticise the county board
for frittering away money in the i'm
provement Of insignificant byways that
could not be of Importance to the city
or county except as generally improv-
ing neighborhoods. 1t is not to be de-
MED that much money has been spent
quite senselessly, simply because of the
demands of individuals who wanted
roads from their pastures to the farm
homes. Political pull had much to do
with these expenditures and scandal
has been caused in more than one
case. 1t is now within the power of
the county board to redeem itself from
the errors of the past and build one or
more roads that will be of real value
to farmers and merchants.
Legislative relief has been granted
from the handicaps under which the
board labored and there will presently
be enough money available to make
good start in practical road building.
! We are assured that, if the county
board uses ordinary intelligence and
industry in carrying out the plans al
ready made, the city and county should
Immediately profit from the appropria-
ton of a considerable sum of money.
! The county commissioners have been
sufficiently impressed with the i'm
portance of the work in hand: we will
now look to them to deliver the goods

ly with the Russian fieet-though we
are not certain as to the number and
size of the Japanese fleet. 1t Is improb
able that Togo's fleet should be equal
to that of Rojestvensky in point of
weight or the number of guns. If Togo
were compelled to meet the enemy and
Rojestvensky would have far the best
of the argument But it is unlikely
that the japanese will take any chance
His ships, though smaller, will be ham
died more smartly than Rojestvensky's
and the attack upon the Baltic feet
will be in the form of incursions along
the edges of the body of ships, snip
ing" for isolated vessels.
The news this morning tells of a re-
ported engagement, but it is-unlikely.
that the affair will be general. Togo
may be depended on to do something
brilliant, but he is not the man to de-
liberately attack in the open sea an
enemy that could destroy him by mere
weight. We shall not look for a gen.
eral engagement, unless Togo finds a
means for splitting up the fleet of the
Russiars-at least no such engagement
is likely until after Rojestvensky has
made Saigon and cleaned his ships.

THE THEATRICAL TRUST

Mr.. David Belasco will have accom-
| plished much for the betterment of
the stage If he succeeds in breaking up
! the trust which has such a complete
grasp on the better class of theatrical
attractions in this country that it die
tates absolutely the houses at which
certain performances shall be given
| and excludes from many of the theaters
| Independent stars who have refused to
accept the terms offered by the mag
mates.
The public is interested in the out
come of the litigation in which BeIasco
| the other members of the so-called
syndicate. The dominance of the the
atrical business by the Klaw and Err
| LANCER crowd is. in spite of the asSer-
ton of Mr.. Frohman to the contrary,
menace to the men and women who
| are earning living on the stage and
in violation of the rights of patrons of
the theater. Mr.. Frohman has been
quoted as saying that running a thea
ter is just as much a matter of bust
| ness as managing a butcher shop. This
is measurably true, but the stage
should hold a higher place in the realm
of art than the butcher business 1t Is
not possible TO get the best work out
| of men and women engaged in theatre
cal work if the actors labor under the
handicap of being deprived of part Of
| their earnings for the enrichment of an
unholy alliance which has no further
interest in the stage than to exploit
| the performers for revenue only. We
| do not hold with Mr.. Belasco that
actors generally are inspired by artistic
| ambitions, but we feel very certain that
the promptings of the actor are likely
to be cast on higher levels than the in
spiration of Mr.. Abe Erlanger.
| Belasco has shown very clearly that
the trust is an existent fact; he has
| demonstrated that a very large number
of theaters throughout the country are
controlled by the syndicate, and that
| the members of the syndicate levy
sort of bldckmail on stars for booking
them at the houses which they must
play in order to reach the people who
support them. But we have very little
hope or expectation that Belasco will
effect anything more by the present lit
igation than to show the trust up and
organize public sentiment against it.
The Frohmans have done much for the
| American stage, but the American pub
lie has done quite handsomely by the
Frohmans. AS for Messrs. Klaw and
Erlanger it is not apparent that they
have done anything for the elevation
of the stage beyond the invention of
the show girl. The theatrical syndi-
cate is not the less vicious because it
takes its tribute from the public by
indirection. And David Belasco may
be quite certain of the appreciation of
the public in the contest he is making
and that in spite of the fact that he
is looking out, primarily for Mr.. Be
lasco.

Contemporary Comment
Japanese and Russian Finance

The position of Japanese finance
ought to put an end to the notion that
Russia can wear down Japanese re-
sistance by her superior resources and
ought to that extent to supply the ad-
vocates of peace with new argument.
The Russian minister of finance has
just been proving that Russia is amply
provided with funds to carry on the
war. 1t has often been remarked that
war can always be carried on some
how, and no one doubts that Russia
can continue to fight if she chooses.
But the penalty is likely to be a great
deal heavier than is admitted in the
calculations of Mons. Kokovtsoff.-
