PRESERVE THE PATHS

We do not think that the movement
in one section of the city for the aboli-
ton of cycle paths ought to receive any
consideration from the authorities. The
plea is that the cycle path is now
comparatively unused; that the wheel
is rather a curiosity than otherwise,
and that the sidewalks and paths hith-
erto set apart for its use might as
well be restored to the bicycling
public.
This is very partial statement of
the case. The bicycle is at the moment
in the trough of the sea between two
extremes. There were several years
in which it was a fad, and the riding
of it became sort of demoniacal pos
session. People rode the wheel because
others did, because it seemed the thing
to do and because they were caught by
the intoxicating elation of a movement
swifter, easier and more birdlike than
anything they had known. Then came
ShhN AOeSNAOiis iC lctQ OlSdDpCdItu, ana
it became the proper thing not to ride
the wheel. The automobile captured
all those bicycle riders who could af-
ford it. At the present moment the
wheel is comparatively in disuse, and
there are probably fewer persons using
1t today than there ever will be again.
The true place of the bicycle as min
istering to business and to pleasure is
yet to be found. 1t is important to
both. 1t is the easiest method for the
man Of moderate means to pass be-
tween his home and his work 1t is a
most beneficent contribution to health.
For holidays and other leisure hours IT
affords a pleasure that no one once ac-
customed to it can ever forget or
underrate. When the slight disfavor
attaching to it because ii is now I'M
fashionable shall have passed away.
the wheel will remain permanently
necessary accessory in probably more
than half our households.
With view to this, and also with
reference to the reasonable rights of
the not inconsiderable number of per-
sons who are using the wheel today,
the bicycle paths should be preserved.
On any fine day hundreds of wheel
men may be observed on any path in
the city. They have their rights. Those
who come after them have their
rights. II paths are destroyed or
abandoned now, they will have to be
reconstructed at considerable cost
later. Their existence does not really
injure anyone. properly made BIZ
cycle path, with its compact coating of
cinders, is a better footpath in all
weathers than the ordinary sidewalk.
Leave the paths alone.

AS TO INDUSTRIAL
LIFE INSURANCE

For more than half a century the
same bill has shown I'D every year IN
the English parliament-the PROPOSE
ton to legaliZe marriage with a dead
wife's sister. If that noted assembIage
can calmly face and vote down any one
measure year after year, perhaps
American legislatures need not COM
plain at having to consider bills of
some particular type regularly every
session.
One that hobs up serenely each bien-
NAL sitting at almost every state can't
tai is the proposition to prohibit the
issuing of insurance on the lives of
minors. 1t puts in its appearance with
due solemnity all around. only to be as
duly throttled. Most of the western
legislatures which have already adj
journed this year have had such a bill
before them, and Minnesota has one
now under consideration. Meanwhile
the wholesome fnsuring of children
goes right on here and abroad. In
England, where it originated nearly
century ago, il has come to be as much
an accepted fact as any other form of
underwriting and in this country at
least two of the best known, largest
and most important of insurance or
CARNATIONS have attained merited dis
upction and eminence by the great
number of policies of this kind issued
by them and the large sum of insur-
ance thus represented.
No form of life indemnity is now bet
ter known or appreciated than indus
trial insurance. and that means the
policies that are carried upon the lives
of little ones or on those of more adj
vanced years in the humber walks
OF life.
No sane reason why this form of in
surance should not be written to any
extent desired by the public has ever
been shown, and industrial policies
will continue to be in demand so long
as underwriting of any sort shall exist.
There win perhaps always be legis-
lators ready with their little bills TO
say it ought to be stopped. but it is
quite possible somebody might also be
found in any state assembly to intro
duce a measure declaring that Niagara
ought TO run up hill or the sun rise in
the west.

ems who have got most out of life
in a sane way have lived the longest.
Gladstone, Leo XIII. Mommsen-these
names come first to mind when con-
sidering the question of thorough liv-
ing and longevity, but they by
no means complete the list. To
read an account of what the youth
full Gladstone managed to accom-
plish in one day as Mr.. Morley
presents it in diary quotations is to be
convinced that the pace that kills is
not the mental pace. These men were.
of course, giants mentally, but the
American who thrusts into the fire a
few irons. the care of which should
not overtax his mental or physical
strength, is frequently in a sanitarium,
often in an asylum, at forty. He is
asked to endure in proportion to his
ability only. but too often he fails.
The lack is one of stamina, but
whether this is constitutional and in
duced by climatic conditions or
whether it is the inability TO concen-
trate and so save the wear and tear of
extraneous influences. nobody seems to
have made an exhaustive enough study
of the American temperament to be
able to announce definitely. Such an
announcement if it carried with it the
weight of authority would be more
worth while and would represent more
agreeable reading matter than discon-
certing figures, and the fact that more
and more Americans are breaking
down and giving up the race in early
middle age would seem to call for
serious investigation.

OUR SHORT LIVES

Americans are fond of answering
such people as DR.. B.NLaquer, who de-
clares that they are short lived and
quotes figures to prove it with the
triumphant assertion that. while their
years may be fewer than those of their
contemporaries of other nations, they
get more out of life. If it were true
that to live much, in a wholesome and
profitable way, meant also to live but
a short time. 1t is doubtful If the ma
jcrity would care to let down steam
merely for the purpose of prolonging
life by negotiating. The turtle lives

At St. Paul Theaters


A remarkable play was exploited at
the Metropolitan last night with a re-
markable actress in the title role. With
fine conservatism many people who
would have enjoyed the play stayed
away-as usual
"Zaza' was the play. 1t begs to
teach the lesson that virtue is more
Iemunerative than vice. In the end
the proposition wins.
But in attaining the end, Miss Rob-
erts was compelled to make Zaza a
human creature. woman with whom
you SympathiZe, even if you do not
approve of her weakness.
In brief, Miss Roberts exempIified
the woman lost in love. ready to Kill
the other woman, but too noble when
she beholds the child.
Such realistic, convincing acting as
Miss Roberts displayed in the scene
with Dufresne it is rarely a local priv
llege TO witness. 1t was the exempli-
fcation of the actors art in its most
favorable development. Not the keen
est observer saw an artificial move,
nor did the most sensitive ear hear
false intOnation.
Miss Roberts has evidently studied
the school of nature and studied it I'M
derStandingly
With a lofty disregard of the into
nations that the professional elocu-
zionist says should prevail, this actress
bursts forth the sentiments that con-
troll her, and the nearer is equally con-
trolled. The absolute naturalness of
the woman conquers.
Miss Roberts impaired to the char
acter the illiteracy that belongs to it.
She indicated clearly that Zaza could
not spell all the words she used.
The affectations that constantly re-
mind the spectator that the actress is
acting do not mar the performance
of Miss Roberts. She seems a part of
the story, and every move she makes
and word she utterS are spontaneous.
1t is the absence of theatric tricks
from her performance that commendS
it to the intelligent mind. She never
makes a wild gesture nor utters a
false note. F. G. H.
But four more opportunities remain
for local musical lovers to witness the
splendid performance of Me, Him and

steal features deserving of comment

HIGHLY JocuLAR

Quite bit of amusing byplay is GO
ing on between the st. Paul council
and the street railway company over
the service on the Como Harriet line.
There has been dissatisfaction with
the infrequency of cars, and with the
better service rendered to Minneapolis
than to st. Paul. Some wag there
upon suggested that the council pass
a resolution ordering better service.
1t was done. The street railway COM
pany promptly replied that it would
improve the service when it got ready,
and not before.
The answer, of course, was what
should have been expected. This is
the tone that every successful master
He is not accustomed to words of COM
mand from them, and he will not
stand it. st. Paul has no voice left
whatever in the conduct of its street
railway service. 1t has deliberately,
voluntarily and knowingly signed
away all power to interfere and all
right of remonstrance. There is no
limitation whatever upon the powers
of the company. 1t can better or
worsen its service as it pleases. AS
our eminent secretary of state re-
marked in his earlier and less famous
days, we can ''resoloot until the cows
come home" and much good may it
do u.s.
The browning joke of the whole
performance is the grave suggestion
that if the street railway company
proves contumacious its franchise may
be revoked. The probability that a
council which has turned such fran
chises as existed into ironclad con-
tracts lasting thirty-five years and
possibly forever, will turn around and
abolish the same companys privileges
is not alarming. The whole street
railway situation in st. Paul is thor
oughly understood by everybody. We
do not see why the council should
treat it in this light and amusing way.

A PURPLE COW

We would respectfully call the at
tention of Messrs. Kipling, Thompson
Seton, Roberts and other writer's who
are given to Analysing the emotions of
the wild animals they have met to the
domestic COW. To Prof. A l.. Hacker
of the Minnesota experiment station
are we indebted for the discovery that
the muley of the stables and the Jer-
sey of the meadows are not the placid
creatures that we have long consider
ed them; that the bovine expression of
battling calm oft conceals a soul vexed
with bordering the eternal problems,
harassed with why's and wherefores Of
this mundane sphere. For the COW Is
cursed with temperament, and who
versed in his Meredith and his Mrs.
Humphrey Ward and his Robert Grant
does not know what that means?
The distinguished member of the ex-
pertinent station factory is pleased
to consider the question raised by his
discovery merely in the relation it
bears to the milk supply. But can the
public afford to do likewise? Is the
cow to count merely as an economic
factor? Has it no rights. no feelings
that the public is bound to respect?
'The high strung COW has no place in
the dairy scheme, she should be elm
mated says Prof. Hacker, IL not in
these exact words, at least in similar
ones. He would hustle the neurotIc
bovine to the shambles. He would have
the butchers cleaver put an end to
those yearnings for the higher life
which are the despair but also the
inspiration and the consolation of all
who duality in the pseudo intellectual
class.
Yet we think somebody will strike a
blow for this exotic type of COW. We
have sufficient confidence in the world
to believe that it is a respecter of even
bovine aspirations, that a vulgar con-
sideration for cream and steaks will
not initiate against the development of
the esthetic nature of the cud chewer,
that she will not become the victim of
heartless, unrelenting science. When
Burgess lifted up his voice and sang
] never saw purple cow,
L never hope to see one;
But / can tell you anyhow
I'd rather see than be one,
he did not know, of course, that the
Minnesota experiment station was on
the brink Of its discovery that the
purple COW already existed in fact. But
In his concluding lines he indicated
the attitude of the philistine toward
that which he cannot understand; he
prophesied the view the experiment
station was bound to take of the Diana
Of the COW barn. 1t remains for her
sympathizers to rise in a body to pro-
tect her by setting aside the verdict
of science.

be informed specifically whether the

looseness which this and other stories

much beyond suspicion as that of the

Fate of a Reformer

Mr. Roosevelt carried Chicago by
over 10000; Mr.. Harlan loses it five
months later by $4,000. There is but
one reasonable explanation of such a
change. Mr.. Harlan, although origin
ally one of the agitators in favor of
municipal ownership. became conser-
vative in the final stages of the move
ment which he had helped powerfully
to organize in its early DAYS and the
movement has now overwhelmed him.

past has experienced. Those who sow
