HUMAN EcoNoMic WASTE

Judge Finehout is performing a
service of the highest value in en-
deavoring to fix the attention of this
community upon the fact that our city
streets are a machine for the manu-
facture of criminals Day by day and
night by night the mill goes on taking
in the raw material OF human life at
one end and turning out the iaflbird
and the convict at the other. Regard
less on its moral and religious aspects.
both OF them vital and terrible, this Is
incredible economic waste.
A good part Of our system of admin
istering justice. nearly all of our in
situations for the detention of criminals
and practically the whole of our indi-
viduaI and associated effort for reform
ignore these facts and their relations.
Instead of preventing the creation OF a
criminal. we provide jails to hold him
and agencies to reform him after 1t is
too late. We form societies and con-
tribute large sums of money to work
upon the human wreck, but not a
penny for preserving uninjured the
millions of tiny craft that are being
launched upon dangerous sea.
y The great vice of modern life is the
decline of parental responsibility. When
we look back upon a more puritanical
regime. we find its largest gain to have
been in the superior sacredness with
which it regarded the young, and the
more stringent regulations surrounding
them The liberalism of today has
many features of excellence, but its
encouragement of extreme seifshness
in the adult at the cost OF the whole
future of the child is as dreadful as the
/ ancient sacrifice to Mo1ock.
The, pulpits, the courts. the legisla-
lures and every fundamentally of
public opinion should be focused upon
the parent to shame him to his duty.
Keep the children off the streets. In
fiict the penalty Of misdoing upon the
parent rather than the child. II father
or guardian is liable for the debts of a
minor, how much more strictly should
he be held liable for the fearful obIiga-
ton under which he places himself to
outraged moral and physical law. This
responsibility must be located and en-
forced. We have to get back to fuller
performance OF parental duty and a
more careful training of the young.
Logically, this is no more than a
truism accepted without question in all
other departments of life The manu-
faeturer knows that waste of raw ma
terial will ruin him. The farmer un-
derstands that If food and moisture are
| not, supplied to the tender plant there
will be no crop. Only in dealing with
human life do we think that we can
cast good seed upon a rock without
having IT devoured by the fowls of the
air or shriveled to death by the fierce
rays OF the SUM- The watchword of So
ciety and of the state should be, pro
tect and save the child"

A COMPLETE TRIUMPH IN SIGHT

The vast and intricate plan of Field
master mind. AS the campaign has
worked itself out, however, up to this
point, he who studies it can give
shrewd guess at it's ultimate purpose.
1t need surprise no one, but will come
rather as the complete fruition Of this
extraordinary genius. SUPPORTED by no
less extraordinary courage and devo-.
ton throughout the army. if very
short time now should find Japan in
possession of Hardin and thus in COM
plete control of the Transsiberian rail-
road.
One uniform rule has followed the
advance of the Japanese northward
through Manchuria. Their plan of
battle has not been varied, and always
results have justified it, At Liaoyang
their. successful thanking movements,
supported by tremendous direct at
lacks, continued without intermission

enemy and forced him to move north
ward. At first it was supposed that
the wornout Japanese could not fol-
low, and their generals were criticised
for letting "a defeated foe escape so
easily. They knew what they were
about. 1t is no small thing either to
capture or to dispurse an army Of
100000 men,, and sure" is better than
swift"
Instead of falling impetuously on the
Russian rear and trying to turn retreat
into rout. the Japanese bent their
energies toward an equally swift par
allel movement northward On either
side their columns advanced until the
Russians intrenched at Mukden, and
then the same events were repeated.
Thanking operations disconnected and
alarmed Kuropatkin, and a ten days
vigorous onslaught again threw him
into retreat with enormous loss. He
had confidently relied upon another
stand at Tie pass, certainly the strong
est position anywhere on his line of
march. But those two japanese wings
were ahead of him, and the pass was
captured with but little resistance.
Now he has TO make his way some
800 miles or more to Hardin.
1t will probably be found within a
few days that the Japanese will reach
Hardin more quickly than the Rus
slams. just as they anticipated the lat
ter at Tie pass. One division of their
army which did not participate in the
recent engagement has never yet been
located. For two Or three weeks past
its position has been a secret to every
body but Oyama. 1t will be heard from
later, and probably at a most unex-
pected point. Hardin is the natural
objective point OF all these movements.
1t is infinitely more important to keep
the Russian army on the move, to
hold it disorganized, to harass it ON
both sides and always to threaten the
drawing closer of that surrounding
net than tosnake one extreme effort
which might bring Linevitch,s sur
render, but might also end in Jap
anese reverse which would proiong the
war for years.
japan is not seeking merely TO oc-
cupy and hold Manchuria, but TO put
an end to the possibility of Russian
operations In the east. That consum-
nation is actually in sight. If Japan
succeeds in occupying Hardin. If, as is

Do NOT FORGET

The people of st. Paul cannot afford
to forget the vast issues involved in
the street railway settlement. They
cannot afford to cease agitation, ex-
pressing of opinion and positive action
directed toward preventing consum-
nation of the surrender of our rights.
If they do they will regret 1t as long
as the city stands.
Their eyes should be kept fastened
upon the pivotal fact of the whole
situation. which is Judge Lochren's
obscure this or divert attention from
it by forcing to the front other issues,
such as the alleged advantage of ex-.
tensions, the receipts from taxation
and other matters pertinent to discuss
only when appeal from that decree
has been made or an agreement reach
ed to have it vacated and set aside.
Without that first condition. all else
is comparatively unimportant. The
HdlOS OI the city are
1t should be borne in mind by those
even who are ardently favorable to
as easy TO compromise after the vaca =
ton of this decree as before. rbaAll
these other details of construction, ,ex-
tension and taxation might be taken
up with that decree swept out of the
way. This should have been made a
condition precedent TO all negotiations
whatever. Without it these negetia-
lions are simply farcieal. They profess
to settle matters that cannot be set
tied except as it may please the street
railway company to consent. and upon
it's own terms.
Bear in mind that this decree. COM
fers upon the street railway company
every right that it desires, every power
that 1t claims, every privilege that it
could ever exercise. 1t is sweeping.
comprehensive and final. The city
under 1t has no relief and no redress.
Only one loophole of escape remains,
which is in the power to appeal this
case to the supreme court of the Unit
ed States, with the absolute certainty
in the mind of every lawyer of any
ability that the city's contention
would be sustained either in whole or
in Ut in mi, 1af
peal is not made within six months
it cannot be made at all The pretend
ed condition inserted in the agreement
is foolishness. The courts will not
countenance any extension of the time
for appeal by indirection where they
absolutely refuse to approve it dir
rectly.
First and foremost. all attention
should be concentrated on this matter
Of appeal. Either We shall take it or
We shall not. If we do. we can nego-
tate afterward; unless the company,
as it most likely would, should consent
to have the decree set aside. If we do
not take it, then all this agreement is
waste paper After the end of six
months the street railway company
will be complete master OF the situa-
ton, will do exactly what it pleases
and as 1t pleases. no less and no more,
and St. Paul will have nothing to say
about 1t. This is not a mere possibil-
ity but certainty. and one too mo-
mentous and menacing to let pass in
silence or inaction.

MADNESS IN FLAT JEWELLERS

An alienist of high repute has been
telling the landlords and tenants of
London that living in flats tends to
promote insanity and that the fats
now being built in London town will be
pulled down in a few years to save the
people from lunacy. There is homeIy
saying that you must take a German
as he means rather than as he says.
This may haply apply in the case of
the doctor in question. except in the
matter of pulling down the flats That
will never come off unless the popuia-
ton should rise in rebellion and de-
stroy the buildings in order to ex-
terminate the janitors. What the doc
tor means is that fat dwellers will be-
come mad. irate. querulous, exacting-
harmless monomaniacs on the subject
of the doings Of the woman upstairs
and the musical incapacity of the
young woman next door. OF course
the mania may go farther in the case
Of persons living IN London flats
which are base limitations of the Amer
lean article.
For the London fiat. look you. is a
thing Of horror; dreadful mausoleum
in which are immured hapless cock
neys engaged by ten year leases to I'M
dergo strange and unusual forms OF
punishment in solitary confinement
The American fiat is. by comparison,
fairy palace fitted with marvellous in
ventions for the comfort of man and
the happiness OF woman. The cockney
has neither light. air-eyen the air Of
London-nor means OF communicating
with his neighbors-if it should. hap
pen that those who live in the adioin-
ling cells could be neighborly. He
knows nothing of roomy baths, he gets
hot water by holding kettle over a
gas jet. he has no private telephone
the wiring is dangerous. don't y
know-and his slavey sleeps in a re-
liiotc 6daIct- Inc only advantage he
has lies in the fact that he cannot
fight with his neighbors without break
ing down wall-he has a staircase to
himself. He has his meals sent IN
from the cookshop. generally; he en-
tertains his friends outside the. pre-
cincts of the fat. The London fat Is
built primarily for the purpose of en-
riching the landlord. and secondarily
with view to irritating the cockney
fiat dweller
Still lunacy is long way of for the
Londoner. He takes his sorrows with
modicum of joy and his joys with
some sauce of sorrow He will survive
even the London imitation of the
American fiat, for he is strong in re-
sistanee- And before he gets to the
point OF going off his head his land
lord viii have progressed to the point
of adopting the advantages under
which the fiat jewellers of America
now groan, and the cockney will think
he is in paradise.
