MUNICIPAL MATTERS.

The Mayors proclamation re-
minds us that it is time for citi-
zens to be think themselves as to
whom shall be nominated on the
different tickets.
We believe the affairs of the
city can be best administered by a
responsible party'control. Let the
men be nominated and elected by
political party and not only the
men elected but the party itself
feels responsibility and is anxious
to have the administration sue
cess. The retiring members of
the council are Sam'l Luney, U.
G. Johnson, and DR.. w. T
Wright. They have served long
and honorably in what is always a
thankless place and they are enti
tied to AN honorable discharge"
if they wish one. The REVIEW
has no suggestions to offer to can
didates, but would urge upon the
good men of each party to give
the matter serious consideration.
The ideal alderman is hard to
find. He should be a man Of
some property, SO that he may be
regardful of the rights Of the tax
payer. He should not however
have SO much property that he
will have special interests to sub
serve. He should be public
spirited, but if his public spirit has
lead him to put his money into
such thing as the electric light
the people are apt to draw the
line on him. He must be pro-
gressive but not visionary. He
must have back bone enough to
resist unjust demands against the
city but must not have such Stub
bornness as will plunge the city
into litigation. He must know
something about streets and
grades and water-works and
quarantine laws. He must have
the nerve to say ono" to every
other fellow but you All those
who know such an individual will
please hold up their hands. We
do not expect an ideal alderman
will be found at this or any other
election, but then there are plenty
of good honest men who would do
their best if they could only be
persuaded that it is their duty to
themselves and to the community
to give some of their time to the
public good.

The impeachm ent trial of Judge

though at this writing the closing

Whatever it may suggest to the
bar, the evidence presented i'm
presses the laity in a manner
derogatory to the character OF
Judge Swayne. He seems ut

judicial function demands, and
which is popularity associated with
a high official in the judiciary Of
our country. He seems often..tc

No President has ever entered
upon the duties of his Office so
universally beloved and respected.
Even the great Lincoln was bit
terly hated by large portion OF
the people. Washington was ad
mired by his generation, but the
admiration took more the form Of
reverence than affection.
No President, save Lincoln
has had graver problems to face
than has Theoeore Roosevelt, and
not one has apparently been bet
ter equipped to meet them.
The industrial crisis approaches
in this country. Delays are dan
gerous and will serve only to in
crease the bitterness of the final
adjustment.
The only opposition the Presi-
dent has to fear is that of the
timid, the ultra conservative, the
selfish of his own party. There
isno democracy. The fight be-
tween labor ane; capitol has been
transferred to a fight between the
Public and Capital. The Pub.
lie will win and Theodore Roose-
welt seems the instrument, chosen
Of God and of the people, to be
the leader in the fray.

THE HEPBURN INCIDENT.

tractors of Col. Hepburn run to
cover now that the President has
endorsed his course in Congress.
1t is true that the people demand
relief and are impatient at the
slow action of the Senate. 1t is
true that the evils complained of
have existed for years and that
congress might we'll have taken
the initiative without waiting for
the people to rise up and demand
it. We have found from exper
fence however that people get no
more than they ask for, and are
mighty lucky if they get that.
Those that expect that every con-
gresham is to show his zeal by
a fiery speech on every measure,
have no knowledge Of the work
ings of the National legislative
body. 1t is true that Congress
man Hepburn as Chairman, of the
committee on Interstate Com
merce is entitled to the floor on
any measure coming through his
committee. but the congressman
who is not on that committee,
would have not only difficult
but thankless task in trying to
be heard. Thus while we have
able congressman from Iowa who
have been ortspoken in their PR
vate utterance on the rate question
not one of them havebeen heard on
the floor of the house save Mr..
Hepburn. This is not from lack
of zeal or ability, but simply be
cause it is the recognized method
|of procedure in the House
Those who are urging that the
Iowa delegation should have
made itself heard in the House
should not forget that it is the
everlasting talk that has brought
the Senate into dispute. The
rules of the House and the
| Senate are entirely different. In
the Senate when any measure is
brought up each Senator talks
until he is tired. 1t is sort of a
relay race against time. When

test, and it was test they all
stood nobly. Let the Iowa
grumblers turn their walls OF wrath
on something else. The Iowa
congressman may have kept their
mouths shut but they have voted
right. Now let the Senate give
us little of the same. There is
little use in an investigation into
state of facts that is we'll known

are compelled to make them by

our President. May his courage
be sustained. May his lofty ideas
be held above the pettiness of
sordidness and of ambition. May
he lead the American people as
he lead the Soldiers of America
up the difficult heights Of San
Juan. May he guide us to a bet
ter citizenship, to higher plane
of thought and manhood, to the
ful6llment otour destiny as one
of the chosen peoples Of the earth.
Let it be in the hearts of all
good citizens regardless of their
party past, to sustain the Presi-
dent in all that he may do for the
uplifting Of the people. May itbe
put into their hearts not to vainly
criticise, but to give to the
President the same square deal
which he urges for the humblest
citizen. Let wave Of unset

sectionalism and partisanship and
selfshness and make US even as
were the patriots who suffered
and famished at Valley Forge.
Make us like unto our President
in courage and strength and hon
esty of purpose. Put peace and
the ways of peace into our hearts.
Let us seek, not alone to dazzle
the nations Of the Garth with our
riches, but to impress them with
the high character and virility of
Our civic virtues. Put it into the
hearts of the rich and powerful to
placc the good Of all. before their
private gain. Take from us all
the spirit Of envy and give us in
its stead the strong desire for even

the intricacies that have grown
with our civilization. Let honesty
succeed dishonesty, let charity
and helpfullness succeed greed
and avarice. Teach us to call no
man great unless he be virtuous.
Teach US to do reverence only to
that which is good. Replace the
golden idol of Success, with a
frmer recognition OF what is good
and true in life and manhood.
Again we pray for the health
and well-being of our President
and that he may be sustained in
all that is good by a United
States, united in more than name,
that the glory ofthe republic shall
not fade and that it shall be in
very truth, the home Of the free
and the land ofthe brave. All this
we ask in the name of our patriot
ic dead, in the name Of all the
great deeds Of the great Repub-
lie, in the name of Washington
and Lincoln and of every brave
boy who died that the Republic
might live.
We ask it in the name of the
wrongs that we have righted, in
the name of the weaknesses and
the sins through which we have
struggled, in the name of all it
has cost the countless ages to
create even this our weak and
faulty civilization. May the wis
dom of the God of Nations be with
our President and in the minds OF
all our people. Amen

NEWS OF THE CITY
FROST SAVES FRUIT
Cold Weather Checks Growth
Very Materially

Will the present cold snap and frost
have an Ill effect on the budding trees
and shrubs in and about ST. Paul?
Up to April 4 this season has been
about two weeks earlier than the aver
age st. Paul springtime, and owing
to the soft warm weather in March
the little green shoots on all trees ex-
cept the oaks have made their appear
ance. Now comes the frost and the
st. Paul people are anxious lest the
effect of it should prove bad to the
tender leaves.
Prof. S. B. Green of the state ex-
perimental farm, asked to give his
opinion on the matter, said:
L doubt if the frosts have been
severe enough to do serious damage.
When March proved to be so warm 1
was very much afraid for the fruit
and foliage of Minnesota, but provi-
dentially the weather turned cold this
month and has retarded the growth
very materially.
LAS far as the elms and NAPLES are
concerned, think that the frost may
kill the seed buds, but so far 1T has
not been severe enough to affect the
foliage. The result of this will not be
bad except to the nursery men, who
will probably have TO send away for
seed instead Of using that grown on
the domestic trees.
"On the other hand, the people will
not have to bother with great quanti-
ties of seed from these trees which
usually cutters up lawns and makes
the sidewalks unsightly.
THE fruit trees are so much behind
the elms and naples that l doubt if
they will be hurt at ALL The plum
trees are In the most danger, of course,
because the flower buds come before
the leaves, but the apples, cherries and
other fruits show leaves and flowers at
the same time. My latest inspection
of the plum trees fails to discover the
little white lines on the buds that
mean ruin to the flowers from early
frost.
THE retardation of growth due to
the cold weather this month is likely to
prove the salvation of the fruit, for
when the trees began to put out buds
in March it was far too early for this
part of the country.
Temperatures below 40 degrees
Fahrenheit tend to keep down the
growth, and for ten days each night
and for a considerable part of the day
the thermometer has lowered about 40.
Thus the growth that was indicated by
the progress made in March has been
checked and another week of cold
weather without any hard freezing will
result in just about sufficient natural
growth to lay the foundation for lux
uriant foliage and an abundant crop
of fruit"
Last year at this time the trees
showed little signs of budding, but last
year was remarkable season, just
as this one is; the one being cold and
wintry in March, and this year just
the opposite.
The maple trees last year were not
year solid week of warm sunshine
would turn the bare branches into
splendid greenery. This, however,
would be bad thing, for killing frosts
are likely to intervene any night up
to the middle of May.

AUTO WRECKS CAR
Big Machine Comes Out of
Collision Unframed

An automobile owned by George
Harold Smith, a well known Mime
apolis attorney, collided with an east
bound Selby avenue car at Fourth and
Washington streets few minutes aft
er o'clock yesterday afternoon and
came out of the ARRAY with flying COL
ors. The front vestibule of the car
was badly wrecked, but the motor car
escaped with few scratches and was
able to resume its journey. Mr.. Smith
and his wife and the chauffeur, Thorn
as Hagelund, escaped injury
The accident occurred when the
chauffeur attempted to cross the
tracks ahead of Selby car. The car,
which was running at a fair rate of
speed, struck the automobile squarely,
but only succeeded in pushing the
heavy machine two or three feet. The
render of the car was smashed and
the windows of the front vestibule
broken. The motorman was slightly
cut on the hands by flying glass;

They organized Saturday night for the

Yesterday the leaders of the house
organization claimed that on the final
showdown they would have close to
seventy votes, or ten more than are
necessary to pass the bill as amended
by the senate.
On the other hand, the men who led
the members when they overthrow the
committees report, and cut out items
amounting to $4,000 Saturday, de-
clare that the house will never tamely
submit to the senate's dictation. r. j.

supporters about the hotels yesterday,

interests.

1t is the only state institution in the
