TO st. Paul yesterday and assumed his
new position. The duties for the pres

performed by him in the past, and Mr.
Whitney declared that the time at
which the general passenger agent of

state of facts was to be observed. and

as general freight agent does not an

F. A. Miller, general passenger agent
of the Milwaukee, called on Mr.. Whit
ney yesterday afternoon and after the
interview ventured the suggestion that
a change of title does not necessarily
carry with it a change of duties He
SAID that the duties of a passenger

would have dared to voice it then The
issue was neatly eluded as one not per-

no talk of the next generation, but a
very fairly implied promise that we

THE TENEMENT EVIL

While the fire peril is by no means
the worst feature of the tenement evil
in large cities, 1t Is the disastrous fires
that periodically call attention of the
public to the menace of this system of
housing the poor. The report of the
burning of a New York tenement
gives a tolerably good idea of the con-
gested living in these fire and disease
traps. The narrow rubbish Uttered
passageways and the fire escapes which
had been made to supply the demand
for more room were responsible for
many Of the deaths, and the descrip-
ton of the condition of these indicates
more plainly than anything else the
awful herding process that fills the
tenements.
The Phipps plan for model homes for
the poor should be an incentive to
other multimiIlionaires in large or
growing cities to do likewise; for there
is probably no form Of philanthropy
for so large number. Every city that
has a future must be prepared to face
the problem of providing suitable
homes for the poorest laboring class,
so that it will be within easy reach Of
industrial centers. New York post
poned considering it until the city's
growth has made ii almost unsolyable,
and it is the tendency of other cities
to follow her example.
Americans have earned a reputation
for alertness and forehandedness. but
the truth is they are not fond of taking
the ounce of prevention. Almost every
city Of any size in the country has the
nucleus OF tenement life that is bound
to develop into a fostering municipal
sore. The time to guard against it's
| development is when the city is young
and there is plenty of space; and
| when it is still possible, judiciously, to
scatter industries so that these will
not all center in one congested quar-
ter. But it is not the custom of the
! American city to make any such pro-
vision for the future. She prefers to
| wait until the problem is thrust upon
her and then, at an enormous expense.
she sets about its solution.

A VICIOUS MEASURE

Acknowledging willingly the good in
tention of the house in supporting
bill for consolidation of rural schools,
we must lament the absence of an in
telligent understanding of the educa-
tional system which this course in
wolves. We sincerely believe that moth
ing more hurtful could happen than
the patterning OF the rural upon the
city school. Whatever the idea may be,
this is the inevitable end of the legis-
lation proposed. It would work moth
ing less than the destruction of what
we declare to be today the most valu-
able part of our public school system.
A little farmhouse in the country
offers nothing to attract the eye or
awaken the imagination in comparison
with the towering buildings. the great
shops and the atmosphere of activity
and wealth that belong to a great city
Yet everybody knows that the latter is
built upon the former. Suppose we
were to get the farmers to build sky
scrapers and lay out elaborate sewer
systems, and in other ways ape the
conditions of city life, to the neglect Of
their own industry and the destruction
of favorable conditions for 1t. Does
anyone doubt 1t would be the crown
ing misfortune OF the country and work
widespread havoc? What the farmers
industry is to the city, the work of the
country school is to its metropolitan
brother. 1t is not rural environments
and physical conditions that produce
so many great men of country birth, so
much as it is the advantage of unre-
stricted educational conditions.
The consolidation of rural schools is
merely a Snowy blunder. 1t will result
in the substitution Of one big school
for several little ones, in the building
of one large structure and the intro
duction of the graded system. That is
recognized by every leading educator
as perhaps necessary evil in cities,
but an evil none the less. 1t ignores
individuality. cramps development and
is mere machinelike process required
when great numbers have to be dealt
with, but in itself a hindrance and a
misfortune. This wretched condition
it is proposed to impose upon the coun-
try school. 1t is like persuading every
farmer to buy his children fine, ex-
pensive suits Of clothes at the cost OF
depriving them Of wholesome food. We
trust that somewhere up at the capitol
will be found enough knowledge of ed
ucatlonal subjects and enough deter
mination to prevent the enactment Of
this well meant but most mischievous
and evil breeding law.

A GREAT DEMOCRAT ON pEMoc-
RACT

T h e G o be publishes this morning
brief but telling letter from Senator
B. R. Tillman of South Carolina COM
menting upon its discussion, two
months ago, of the needs and future
of Democracy. Illness has prevented
Senator Tillman from taking up this
matter heretofore, but his comment
loses nothing in pungency or force by
delay.
Senator Tillman does not fall into
the error, made by smaller minds, Of
thinking that to criticise his party is
to be disloyal or that to fly at the tail
end of the Republican kite is proper
or hopeful attitude for Democracy. He
sees the point and goes straight for it
with that power and directness that
has made him so prominent a figure
in our national life. Few men have
greater influence in the senate, none is
more absolutely respected for inde-
pendence and integrity OF character.
and the meeting of the last Democratic
national convention brought Senator
Tillman to the front as one of the really
great figures in the American life of
today.
There has been, as Senator Tillman
says, too much of this 'me too" busi-
ness. The argument of The Globe,
which he so graphically and emphatic
ally indorses, is that Democrats ought
to formulate such legislation as they
would enact if they were in power,
stand firmly on that record, and. IL the
Republicans come to them on their
own ground, accept that aid; but take
care to let the country know that the
Republicans are followers and not
leaders. 1t is an emphatic Endorsement
of the position that The Glob has
taken when a man of Senator Till
mans ability and repute stands firmly
on its platform. 1t means that 1t has
rendered the party no less than a ma
tional service in checking. before it
was too late. a weak policy and a
weakening tendency; and even before
the end of the last congress the results
were apparent. The party is standing
deserves to win. and that will win.

THE MASK THROWN OFF

Brutality is an advance upon hy-
pocrisy. The administration has
thrown off the mask with reference to
its purpose in the Philippines, and
Secretary Taft has announced in a
public letter the policy OF retaining
possession OF them indefinitely. He
consigns the ultimate destiny of the
Filipinos to the next generation, with
the comforting hypothesis that per-
haps when that period has passed the
longing for independence will have
died down and fiicleered out in the Fit
pino breast
This Is different attitude from that
taken before the last campaign. Not

BUFFALO, n. Y, March 17.-Jo-
sepn Boothman was subjected to a long
cross examination in the trial of Alon-
20 Whiteman, charged with grand lar
ceny, today. He related conversa-
ton In which he said Whiteman had
arranged to have an account opened at
the Fidelity Trust company of Buffalo
IN the name of F. H. Hubbard, and in
reply to a question as to whether he
oeIleved Whiteman when he came to
him with $4,000 draft and said Hub
bard wished him TO open an account for
him at the Fidelity, he replied that he
did.
And when you indorsed that draft
without the consent of anyone you
knew you were committing forgery" he
was asked
"Whiteman told me to indorse it,"
was the reply.
Boothman admitted that he had been
mixed up in many transactions with
Whiteman; that he signed checks and
drafts with fictitious names and repre-
sented himself to be some one he was
not; but he stoutly maintained that he
had no knowledge of the criminal char
acter of any of the transactions and
stated that everything he did was at
the suggestion of Whiteman.
Boothman identified two checks sign
ed F. II. Hubbard, payable to Fl. r.
Thomas. He gave both checks, he said,
TO Whiteman before they were indorsed
with the name II. r. Thomas. The
$4,000 check, the witness said, he gave
TO one Flynn after he had got it back

are alleged to have been drawn against
