RoRs UP AGAIN

The proposition to destroy the value
of the local Improvement associations
by uniting them in a central body has
made its appearance again. The pro-
moters admit that their efforts were
defeated by the revelation of a political
purpose behind them and the too close
connection of practical politicians with
the work. They think they stand
prospect of success now that elections
are over, but there is little doubt that
the motive remains the same Politics
and politicians go on forever; and If
once the improvement associations
could be consolidated, it would be an
easy matter for the politicians to hold
them in the hollow of their hands until
another political contest comes around
That we do no injustice to these per-
sons seems evident to us from the alb
surdfty of their present professions.
Their spokesman pretends that a CEN
tral society Of the sort contemplated
would be of great value in upholding
the course of Mr.. Michael relative to
the street railway company and other
public service corporations. Now the
fact is that the local Improvement as
sociations themselves, wherever the
subject has come up, have stood boldly
and steadfastly behind Mr. Michael.
There is no earthly reason for uniting
them in order to secure a support
which they either have given already
or are prepared to give for the asking.
If there is no better reason than this
for consolidation, then there is no rea-
son at all.
That is the fact Of the matter. Not
one sensible argument can be advanced
for the formation of a general inn
provement association. There is no
place left for it to fill and no function
men is a general representative body,
in which the several wards have direct
voice and representation. The Com
mercial club is a great business insti-
tuition, where all the business interests
and business men in the city find voice.
We have no need whatever of another
body claiming to represent the whole
city. 1t could do nothing which one of
these organizations could not do better,
and it could serve no purpose except to
be manipulated by the interests that
might chance to control it and that
would certainly endeavor to do so.
We do need extremely series of
small local associations throughout the
city, to which the citizen can present
strictly local needs. unconfused by gen.
eral issues and unaffected by large and
general questions. This need has been
admirably filled by the local improve
ment associations. They have been
successful in st. Paul, as they have in
other cities, up to the point where
somebody sought to get control of them
for an ulterior purpose. When that ef-
fort succeeds they die. We hope that
every member of every local improve
ment association who really believes in
1t and it's work will stand firmly and
finally against any proposition for con-
solidation.

STUDENTS SHOT DOWN.
Horrible Atrocities Committed at
Tomsk-Czar's Manifesto Gre
ates Good Impression.

st. Petersburg, March G. = Mail ad-
vices which have just arrived here give
details of the student riots at Tomsk,
Western Siberia, February 26, preceding
the closing of the university and techno-
logical institute. They represent It as
horrible affair in which students were
herded, shot and slashed by the in.
fantry, Cossacks and police. Nine stu
dents were killed and % were seri-
ously wounded. Over a hundred
young men and women were taken to
the police station, where they were
stripped of their clothes and some of
them were beaten into insensibility with
sticks of wood. So shameful was the
action Of the police that the whole fifth
division Of police was bound over by the
court on the charge of brutality.
The imperial rescript announcing
that Emperor Nicholas has decided to
convene an assembly of elected repre-
sentatives of the people to elaborate and
consider legislation, has produced
wonderful impression. The war and the
battle below Mukden are forgotten. The
resccript is hailed by many as second
emancipation proclaimed on the ami
versary of the first.
